Correspondence Of the Boston Advertiser.l


The opera ball is held in the tempora;
ry theater in Rue La Pelletier, a
structure which will be torn down when
the new opera house is opened. if it
does not fall down before. One pays
ten francs entrance fee. On entering
the vestibule one is required to deposit
overcoats, etc., and woe to the thought
less man who, if not in costume, ap-
pears otherwise than in full dress. He
is ANONYMOUSLY expelled from the the
ater, with the loss of his self-respect and
ten francs. Ladies have the choice of
their costume or dominic, but in all
cases they must wear mask. Ladies
with their faces uncovered are forbidden
to enter the theater, but the prohibition
does not seem to extend to any other
part of their person. The hall is very
large, and by the removal Of the stage
is extending to the extreme rear of the
scene, excepting the platform, on which
sits Strauss and his wonderful orchestra.
The music, of course, is superb. Herr
Strauss is an amiable, benevolent look
ing man, who thoroughly enjoys the oc-
casion, and who selects the most volup-
tious waltzes, the sweetest polkas, the
choicest operatic airs. But the noisy
auditory, and the consequest necessity
for loud music, render it somewhat bois-
terous and less pleasing to purely es-
thetic taste. Nevertheless it is grand,
magnificent and almost reconciles one
to the occasion which has brought it
forth.


For five hours from midnight Saturday
until FIVE o'clock Sunday morning,
Herr Strauss is autocrat of the situa-
tion. The soldiers who stand about are
ornamental, but not useful. Even the
floor managers serve no purpose except
to remove occasionally lady" who,
in order to breathe has incautiously
lifted her mask. 1t is Strauss baton
which sways the vast throng, giving the
signal for pause and the resumption
of conversation, or the signal for the
dance with the waving of countless gay
costumes, the clatter of heels, the antics
of men and women throwing themselves,
in desperate spirit of rivalry, into the
jollity of the can-can, into the lively
polka or the lascivious waltz; it is Ger
many again master of France, but it is
Strauss baton instead of Motkes sword
Doubtless there is certain degree of
real spirit in the affair. But the
sincere love of fun has long since disap-
peared. The genuine ladies who visit
the place are only too glad to avail
themselves of the inexorable mask.
They shun the floor and from boxes
peer down on the scene. You may see
some representatives of excellent fami-
lies lending the support of their presence
and their lorgnettes to the dancers; and
if you have sharp eyes you may detect,
half concealed in a conspicuous box,
some elegant American ladies who are
drawn thither by curiosity, and afierward
go home to moralize on the dissolute-
ness of French life. If such moralizing
be a little out of place it is none the less
just. From its original purpose the
opera ball has become mere rendez-
vous where the vilest of women meet
their masculine correlatives.

Susan B. Anthony was on hand at
the Washington gathering of distressed
females few days ago, and when an at
tack was made upon Mrs. Woodruff, this
is what Susan said:


Mrs. Woodruff has been abused, but
not half as much as l have l have
been on the platform for twenty years
as an advocate for equal rights, and
have been scoffed and scerned. You
have killed off women in a moment by
pointing at them the finger of scorn,
but we don't propose to die so easily
now that our cause carries strength. |
don't propose to prescribe any class; /
should gladly welcome all the infamous
women in New York, and sit side by side
with them on this platform, if they were
willing to make speeches in favor of
freedom. Applause. ] They shall
st and by my side-I will be their cham
pion. ! will take by the hand every
prostitute can find who seek to escape
the inequalities Of that law which pla-
ces all womanhood at the mercy Of man
hood. Immense applause. | care
not for the history of any woman any
more than that Of any man who shall
step upon this platform. l want you to
that you can't scare me if
you do others.

If youth is wooingly disposed toward
any damsel, as he values his happiness,
let him call on that lady when she least
expects him, and take note of the ap-
pearanee of alfthat is under her control.
Observe if the shoes ft neatly, and the
hair we'll dressed. And we would for
give a man for breaking of an engage
ment if he discovered a greasy novel
hid away under the cushion of a sofa, or
a hole in the garniture Of the prettiest
foot in the world. Sloveuliness in women
will ever be avoided by well regulated
mind. A woman cannot always be
what is called dressed" but she may
be always neat. And as certainly as
virtuous woman is a crown of glory to
her husband, so surely is sloyenly wo-
a crown Of thorns.

Ever and ever the world goes round,
Bearing its burdens and crosses;
Ever and ever the years roll on,
With their tide of sorrows and losses;
Ever and ever the book Of life
Bears upon its pages
The weary, weary lay Of the heart
Sung through all the ages.
Ever and ever with outstretched hands
We grasp for golden morrow;
Ever and ever the billows of time
Are freighted with bitter sorrow.
Ever and ever the lips smile on,
That the world may walk in blindness
Little they know of the hearts wild woe,
When the face looks but with kindness
Ever and ever the shadows fall
Over the golden mossesi
Ever CLEAN from Paradise


Lightens our cares and crosses.
Ever and ever the morning dawns
On hopes that are breathed in gladness
Ever and ever the night brings in
Its tide Of bitter sadness.
Ever and ever the eye Of God


Lookath upon us with pity;
And ever the light is shown to us,
That CLEANS from the Golden City.

Senator Wilson gave a temperance
lecture at Boston, the other day, which
is worthy of note. he, among other
things, said that during the last seFen-
teen years he had found that the mem
bers who used alcohol were invariably
the first to be prostrated by protracted
work. "In my experience he said,
while chairman of the committee on
military affairs, always found that the
men to be relied on we're the men who
drank not at all. Mr.. Wilson thought
that there were fewer drinking men now
in congress than when he frst went to
it. " Formerly, the night sessions EeEe
dreaded on account Of the debauchery
to which they gave rise. Now, about
one-qHarter of the senator's are pledged
temperance men, and there is not what
may be called a hard drinker in the
senate at all. The facts are about tbs
same in the house Of representatives.
Once the departments were full of
drunken men; now, they are the excep-

LDI1OR REPUBLICAN:


Now that the third General Assembly
is fully organized in extra session. and
the question has pretty much been de.
/ clded as to who are and who are not emit
tied to seats, it is to be earnestly hoped
and prayed for that each member will be
deeply impressed with the responsibility Of
the situation, and will strive by every
means in his power to give proper dignity
and decorum to all his official acUs. On all
sides we are taunted with insinuations and
muendoes that our Legislature is largely
| composed Of incompetent, careless men.
! who have no direct interest in wise and Judi
cious legislation. That is base caluGlny,
we are ready to admit, but at the same
time, as this is subject of frequent com
| ment, we must meet the issue as our enc
emles promuIgate it, and endeavor to
Live down their aspersions. This can
and will be done, but it can best be
done by such upright, gentlemanly de-
pertinent as never fails to command
respect. We entreat our members to con
tine themselves as far as practicable to their
seats, except of course, when rising to ad-
dress the Chair, and to maintain and insist
upon proper degree of order and quiet, so
that all may plainly hear and understand
what is going on. Words are silver, but
silence is gold" is trite maxim that many
would do well to frequently remember.
Debatesp and sometimes those that are
heated, are q necessity of the situation, but
they can be confined to short, argumentative
force. and they should be characterized with
grave and dignifed propriety.


There. are not a few who boldly declare
that another session of our Legislature like
unto the lass in its lack of decorum, etc,
must put an end TO our present system of
legislation. We believe nothing Of the
sort. and claim for our members quite as
much observance Of the rules of pro-
riety. etc. as characterize any State
Leglsl tture. but at the same time il
Is we'll TO bear in mind that the ewes
OF the whole community are looking
20 our Legislature, not only for sure and
adequate means of relief from the many
0nerous burdens of which our people are
justly complaining, and for reform in spirit |
and in truth. but for such gentIemanIy and |
djgnited department on the part of the !
members thereof, as will insure the respect |
and confidence of all our people.
We implore the members of the General |
Assembly to bear this fact in mind, and TO
govern Themselves accordingly. 11crb sap.

some provision for lighting the house at
night


4 bill was then introduced for the pur-
pose Of enabling the House to elect war
rant clerk. Mr.. Young spoke at some
length favoring the bill. He concluded by
asking for suspension of the rules in order
that the bill might pass


Mr.. RodTigues opposed the election Of a
warrant clerk, and gave his reasons at con
siderable length


message from the Senate was received,
informing the House that the Senate had
concurred in House bill No. ?, Furnishing
bribery.


The Speaker announced to the House
that the Senate, sitting as a court of i'm
peachment, met at three, and took recess
until seven o'clock.


Mr. Gair then resumed the discussion on
the bill providing for the election of a war
rant clerk. He said, ordinarily he would
not be in favor of the BILL but under the
present circumstances, he thought it ad-
visable to have warrant clerk. He hoped
Mr. Young's bill would pass. The rules
were suspended and the bill placed upon its
second reading. Mr.. Mathews obtained the
floor and opposed the bill on the score of
economy and reform. He said the bill pro
posed to pay warrant clerk IS per day,
when such an officer was not needed and
would only be an impediment in the way of
members getting their mileage and per
diem. The rules were suspended. and the
bill finally passed the House and goes 30
the Senate for concurrence


On motion the House then adjourned u.
til seven in the evening.


The House held a brief evening session
when to that body was communicated the
fact that Governor Pinchback had signed
the bill extending the session Of the General
Assembly. When the House adjourned, no.
business having been transacted, members !

We caution the public that Whit mans exultations that Gen. O. O. Towards visit to Arizona on Indian business, as stated last week in THE CITIZEN, is in effect an indorsement of his bad course and triumph of savage murderers over good citizens, must be taken with as much care and limitation as poison. If Whitman were correct, then the unparalleled liar Colyer would have been sent here in stead of into well earned disgrace.

 As we did with Colyer, we will first believe he comes with purpose to promote the peace and safety of all. In such belief we shall welcome him. Before changing this belief we shall be convinced by his own actions that he intends only good to the savages. The people at large will without doubt, act likewise.

 Anybody, officer from abroad or citizen here, can go out among the savages with an armed escort, way ing white banners, exhibiting a spirit of apology for his presence, offer ing food, clothing, protection, idleness, ct cetera, and emphasizing such acts by spurning the conlmonest rights of citizens and turning the artillery of the nation upon them, and be sure to meet with no Apaches ill battle ar ray or murderous ambush no threats of continued war on the unfortunate whites, and will also have his ears dinned with assurances through lying interpreters that the Apache IS a vlr- tuous, peace loving, heaven inclining race, ever reluctant to do wrong ex- cept when provoked by poor citizens in their hard, selfish efforts to earn their own living in an honest, legal way. We repeat. by acting as in dicated, anybody can and will fare, see and hear what we point out. We have faith that Gen. Howard will not so act, and hence see, hear and report facts and make his mission of worth to that class of men who open new section of country and smooth its rough edges down to the condition which is required to get a prof fessiOnal philanthopist to live in it, or not ma lign it and its people. We are certain the Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian affairs expect his course will be as we outline.

THE sniveling hypocrite and ex- posed liar Colyer has resigned all con- nection with the Indian Peace Con- mission. We are pleased to know that he continues to make fool and stock of himself by con- blaming of the western influence which compelled him to resign, and that he is trying to gain sympathy by a babyish exhibition of his sore made bvl the removal of his official scalp.

THE railroad news Is of the most cheering character, according to our San Diego advices fresh from Wash iugton. The Texas Pacific company is said not to be seeking amendments to its charter with any purpose to delay work, but as necessary to prosecute construction with vigor. Assurances of an early inauguration of actual work are given. Nothing will so cheer up Arizona as the light of the locomotive.

Civilians are to be appointed to succeed the military officers, named by General Crook last fall, in charge of the Apache Indian reservations in Arizona. Under the plans of the board these new appointments will be given to the Dutch Reform church, whose leading officials will soon be asked to designate the parties to be appointed.

 We take the above from a late num- Der of The Rocky Mountain News. There must be some error and some truth in it. General Crook did not ap- point Whitman, but the sooner he is relieved by anybody the better it will be for the public and in the long run for the Indians. We have reason for asserting that Whitman treats the orders of both Generals Schotield and Crook with willful opposition and disregard in essential particulars. Orders require Indians to be ratloned once each day; Whitman does 1t once in five. His course gives them time and food to make distant raids for theft and murder between ration days the very thing the War and h. terior Department directed by Pres ident Grant are laboring to make inn possible. Whitman knows the policy of the Government ill this respect would give more security to the set tiers, and hence his contrary course. There is probably not an officer in the service who impudently and purposely disregards his plain duty equal to this Whitman. His name like his conduct is without respect, and shame he does not possess. Again we direct the Washington authorities to his public course.

 THE MINER of March 2, brought the cheering intelligence that two to- three feet of snow had fallen in the mountains where the placer and quartz mines are located, and about half the quantity on the adjacent flats; also that the farmers are at work, and have better crop prospects than at any time since 1868. We rejoice at this news for two reasons, first, be- cause it gladdens the hearts of all the people in Yavapai and augurs a revival of their former prosperity, and second because it has led The Miner man to acknowledge the goodness of God and sincerely thank the Great Jehovah-the good, just and benign Ruler of the Universe" With such a change and prospects, our Yavapai neighbors all ought to be grateful to

We met an old farmer a few
days ago who was on his way
home from the depot with his
wagon loaded with corn. He
stopped to tell us that it was
the first corn he had ever
bought, though he. had been
farming for about thirty years.
He WAS very much humiliated
because he had failed to raise
a supply of corn, and was full
of excuses for the failure.


The time was, in many parts
Of ou Southern country, when
corn buying farmers We're

The following sensible re
marks ON the advantages of
country papers as advertising
mediums for city merchants
and busiDess men generally,
are from the Iberville South !:


It is an astonishing fact that
very few Of the city merchants
and business men generally
seem to appreciate the impor-
tance of advertising in coun-
try papers, whilst they are so
lavish in their expenditures on
the city dailies for these pur-
poses. These papers are not
read by one man in a hundred
from the country, and not sub
scribed to by one in a thou
sand. Country visitors to the
city buy a great many, with
which to while away the tedi-
Gus breakfast hour at hotels,
see their own names among
the arrivals, and to post them
selves as to the amuSements
of the coming evening. Other
wise moi another line is read.


The visitor never waits to
get to the city to find out what
he wants or where to get it.
His list is made out and his
places Of dealing selected be
fore he leaves home.


Everybody in the country
takes his own Parish paper,
andis familiar with every ad-
vertiseInent in it. And it is a
natural consequence for one to
patronize the places he knows
OF best


City advertisers will find ii
decidedly TO their interest to

To Pickle Meat In One day.-Get
u tub nearly full of rain or river
water, and put two pieces of thin
wood across it, and set The beef on
them at about a distance of an
inch from the waterl. Head as
much salt as will stand on the
beef, and let it remain twentyfour
hours; then take the meat off and
boil it, and You will find it rs
salty as if it had been in pickle
for weeks, the water having
drawn the salt completely through
the beef.


Spiced Beef.-Chop fine the
tough ends of two very large beef
steaks, and a1 piece Of raw suet
about as large as half an egg,
season with pepper and salt; and
little dried sammer savOry; then
add two well beaten eggs, with
about half a pint of dried bread
rolled fine, or as much rolled
crackers, and piece of fresh
butter as large as an egg, make
into Il long roll, with -four enough
to keep it together, put into "a ba-
king pan. with dripping as large
as half an egg, and water enough
To keep from burning. Bake as
you would n roasting piece of
beef; when cold, slice thin for the
table. Some eat it with vinegar.
Fhite'caSiiRg.-AS the season
%! the year is at hand for this i'm
portant work we will give a re-
cipe Tor the best whitewash, which
the Ohio Farmer, so well posted
III these matters, declares TO be the
best for out door work:


Take half IL pound of mutton
taliow, one peek of quick lime
and little rock salt mixed. Dis
solve the salt iii hot wafer, pour
on to the lime, and when it is in
high heat, put in the tallOw, and
after the lime is Stacked reduce to
proper consistency. The tallow
prevents penetration OF moisture,
and the salt hardenS the coat.


Cherry Bounce Fill demiiohn
with cherries, pnd then fill up
with whiSkey; let it stand thIee
or four months, and then draw
off aud Swepten to taste. This
will keep fOnr years, the older the
better.


Tomato IFiae.-Take any guam
tity OF ripe tomatoes. wash aud
! press from them the juice, strain,
and to every gallon add four
pounds (avoirdupois) crushed
sugar; let it stand until it is done
fermenting, draw off, without
agitation, and bottle. Will be
prime in six to twelve months.
The yellow tomato makes a white
wine with yellow tinge; the red %
dark cOlOred wine of course.

How TO ENJOY LIFE.-It is
wonderful to what an extent
people believe happiness de
pends on not being obliged to
labor. Honest, hearty, con
tented labor is the only source
OF happiness, as well as the
only guarantee of life. The
gloom of misanthropy is not
only a great destroyer of hap
piness we might have, but
it tends to destroy life itself.
Idleness and luxury produce
premature decay much faster
than many trades regarded as
the most exhaustive and fatal
to longevity. Labor In gener-
al, instead of shortening the
term of life, actually increases
it. 1t is the lack Of occupa-
tion that atannually destroys so
many of the wealthy, who,
having nothing to do, play the
part of drones, and like them
make a speedy exit, while the
busy bee fills out its day in
usefulness and honor.
