Recknt events have given a fresh intcret and a new importance to tho propoMiiou made bj tho lamented President Lincoln forqualitod colored sufliafre In tho reconstructed State ol Louisiana. We herewith publish it: Executive Mansion. Washington, March 13, 1800. ( Hon. MicnAH, IIaiin. My Dear Sir: I con gratulate, you on having fixed your name in history as the firet Iree State fJovemor of Louisiana. Now you are about to have a Con vention, which, among other thing-i, will pro bably define the elective franchise. I barely suggest, for your private consideration, whether some of tho colored people may not lie let in, as, for Instance, the very intelligent, and especially those who have fought gallantly in our raDk. They would probably help, in some trying tim? to come, to lecp the jewel of Klcrty in the family of freedom. But thi- only In suggestion, not to tue public, but to you alone. Truly yours, A. Lincoln. Governor Wells' Important Testimony. Tdb dispassionate, manly, and evidently trutli lnl statement of Governor Wells concerning the New Orleans massacre, and the causes whii-U led to it, published In our columns yesterd tv, is worthy of the attentive perusal of every citi zen who desires to form a correct opinion an to the state of affairs in Louisiana. li s testimony in regard to ihe massacre itself is but confirma tory of previous accounts, that it was a delibe rately planned Rebel uprising for the murder of leading Union men. But it is with reference to the policy of allowing th" Rebel leaders to become once more poschscd of politi "cal power in the South, that Governor Well' " statements are of the highest importance. Hi; SjeaWa from personal kuowkdge and o'jservu jj tion, He Limi-elf favored thq experiment in Lbuibiana of restoring these mi'U to all their ilj jugtJy forfeited riuht". He hored that u policy i -OP leniency, of kindness, and of conciliation i would win theqd back to loyalty to the Union. i'i.'Valn hope ! ! They proscribed every man who ; bad "not been' corfr.DCted wittt the Rebel cause. J1 'They display e all 6f their old insolent and re ..beilibua spirit,' uud rubbed their hands in gloe'a't tho Idea ot a civil wr in the loyal State. They" repaid the mercy ot tho Uniou -men insult and pro-cription. If they t'Saw ,any, po-pect of success, tbey would -renew the 1 Rebellion tomorrow. Governor .Wills olosos his address with an expres Bion of tliq deliberate conviction, that if the -1 Hilary 'force be withdrawn the live3 of Union -.' men who proved themselves conspicuous iu maintaininer their allegiance will not be safe. The ultimate security both of the Government and Union men of the South depends, in his ' opinion, on the ratification of the Constitu tional amendment proposed by Congress, and tbe enfranchisement of the loyal black ruin as he becomes' educated and qualified for that Important privilege. If the advocacy of these measures places him wi'.h tho radical party in opposition to the Pre ident, he accepts the situa tion. Ue deems it necessary to preserve and perpetuate the Union. These are the opinions of a Southern man, Governor of the State of Louisiana, forced upon him by the facts of the case as they have fallen under his own observation. We here see the results of the conservative policy after a fair trial. Are they such as the loyal people of the nation can look upon with satisfaction ? We think not. On the contrary, we think they demonstrate the wisdom and justice of that polioy which would contide the great work ol reconstruction to loyal men, and to them alone. It is also worthy of remark, that Governor Wells, as do other leading Southern Unionists, reeogulz.es the vital necessity of the gradual eniranchisement of the loyal black man. This was the policy of our lamented leader, the martyred Abraham Lincoln, and was urged by him in the original reorganization of Louisiana. That "trying time" to which he ull.ided, when this class ot faithful Southern loyalists migb "help to keep the 1cwel of liberty in the family oi freedom," has already come. The colored people ot Louisiana are very numerous, and many of them are intelligent and rich. They own and pay taxes on over ' fifteen millions ot dollars worth ol property in New Orloaits alone. The old law of slavery, that a man is to be considered black who has any ueero blood in his veins, a ids to the colored population ot Louisiana iuuuy wealthy aud educated people who would pass anywhere at the North as white. The very safety of the Government and the security oi Southern Union men, to sav nothing of the damn ol justice, will compel the euiranchisemeut at no distant day of this class ot citizens. Who Dr. Dostle Was. We publish on our eighth page to-day a speech delivered by Dr. A. 1 Dostib, the victim of conservatism, before tho Union Association ot New Orleans, on January 27, 1806. Its style, its ability, and arguments, and many proofs of high culture, will be the bel evidences to his being au educated gentleman. The N?wYork World, and the pack of servile Httle p ipers who follow its lead, has endeavored to make it appear as though Mr. Dostib was an ignorant barber. We know not and we care not what may Uuve been bis occupation, but we do know that by bis own words we are enabled tj repel the slander on Lis intellect. He was a bold rea-toner and a deep thinker, and ho fell a martyr to hU principles. Confirmed. The Led'er, this morula??"" journal in tho Conservative interest, publishes the lollowing special despatch from Wash ington: "General Siiebidan's Despatch. The ori ginal despatch ot Geuuiul Sukridan concerning the New Orleans riot, a paroled version of which was teleirruphed from here by the Washington correspondent of the New Yoik Tinvw, will be furnished for publication to-morrow." - We have here from a reliable paper a frank acknowledgment that the despatch purporting to come from Geueral Sheridan was garbled. Wt will anticipate with interest the arrival of the true document, which should have becu given U the public at once. "JloyaltT In the Republic -A. Quoen Appronchlng. Oncb more Is our city to be bonorod I Once more will the elite have an opportunity of gazing on a crowned head! Once more tb.ii dreary lcpubllcan society of ours is to be liehtcd by the smiles of royalty ! We feel authorized to announce (o our readers that within a few days H. R. II. Emma, Dowager Queen of Hono lulu, Hawaii, 8andwich, aud ten other islands, who has 80,000 subjects, and lots of bananas, yams, tea, coffee, cotton, and tobc30, who was born near the spot where Cnptain Cook was killed in 1778, will arrive in Philadelphia, ac companied by her suite, on her way to Washing ton. Her Royal Highness is a widow, perfectly eligible, so far as her connections are con cerned, is a good Episcopalian, and mourns but sliehtly for her revered husband, his lute Majesty, with the honorable and euphonious name ot Kamwiameiia IV. Her arrival in New York has given a grand chance to the simon purf and unadulterated Jenkinses, an l we doubt not, from the style of the gushlDg article in the World, that the identical and indufatigable gentleman who pndeavored to steal the Prince of Wales' shoes has been once more secured to follow the vagaries of royalty. Of his account, we must say that it is oil "detnnltion fine." We are told at first only of the ceremonial of the arrival, but gradually warming up with his sub ject, the writer dilates in this letter on interest ing details, which are esteemed so piquant by ladies of tloubtttil ajre, and men whose se was a mistake. We caii imagine the gusto wi'.h which the whole spicy report will be read by such gourmands on the subject of particulars. We would have supposed that it was written as a satire, did not the grave tone of the article forb d such a conclusion. We cannot resist the temptation of trans ferring to our columns a lex ot these choice dainties: 'A magnificent barouche and pair of bavs was in readiness at the entrance on Eighth street to take ber Malcsty and suite to the Cen tral Park. The driver, a handsome hd of nine teen or thereabouts, who conn led to our re porter bis determination 'never to wear livery,' was tickling the horse"' tails in an innocent mauner when her Majesty came down the steps oi ihe hotel. One ot the hotel waiters tood at the door of the buroucue, with the knob tu his grasp, and swung the door o:ien and bowed low at the approach of her Majesty. Tue driver snapped his woip uud turned his horses' heads into tilth avenue, en route to tue Central Park." Would that oiu' poor eyes could hnve feusti-d on such a legal s-inht! The waiter with his low bow, the lad who tickled the tails ol titc rousr mflcent bavs, the door knob which was grasped. "Oh, it was a siht well worth a trip .to see." But further on yt more of tue secret j are re. vealed. The reporter fur the lFore.;probably by making love to the dark waitress and Getting himself concealed hi the kitchen cupboard, was actually able to see what bill of fare was fur. nisbed her Majesty, and an examination of the dishes when they returned r;-vealed those to which her Royal Highness was most partial. The result of this investigation is given with the es actitude of a chemical analysis. "DINNKR. "At a little before six o'clock Queeu Emma and suite returned from their drive in the Park, bavins attracted much notice trom the habitues, and on reaching ihe hotel proceeded to dress tor dinner. Her Majesty did not dine at the guests' table, however, but dined in private, with Maior Hoi'kins and the Honorable Miss Spcroin, lady m Viaitincr. Her Majesty partook heartily ot 'gumbo soup,' roast chicken, 'green peas, succotash, and all the otker delacacie of the season. After dinner the Queen and suite paid a visit to a place ot amu-emeut." This rcpott, it true, os of course it is, exhibits a culpable, we may add a criminal negligence on the part of the United states olliciab, which might entail upon our country once more thj hoirors of w ar. The Queen is the gue-t of the United Siates. All her bills are paid by the United States, and public otiicia's, of course. order her meals. Knowing a9 they di i the pre sence of cholera in New York, and probably guessina the penchant ot her Majeity for green peas, u conspiracy, it would seem, was formed. Green peas were plnced before H. R. H., uud the life of the Dowager endangered in order to gratify a morbid Epicuroan Inste. Such recklessness is tio horrible to be calmly contemplated. "Gumbo soup," it well seasoned, miirht have been allowed. Ront chicken also was harmless; but "green peas," auu e!-pecially "succotash," is too abominablo to be tolerated. Should her Majesty be injured by the neglirence of the officials, and should tho cholera thus secure a right regal victim, and should tuercignine King of Hawaii, bis most gracious Majesty Kamehameha V, denand the offender, we hope that all diplomatic complica tion will be avoided, and Mc.-srs. Odkll, Wake man, and Chilton be handed over to be punished as the descendants of the roasters of Captain Cook may see fit. They deserve no mercy: and should his gracious Majesty see fit to cut off their ears, and compel them to dine on their own auricula'- appendages, no one will sympa thize w ith their misfortune. We have said that it is not improbable that Queen Emma may visit our city. If slie does, we hope our people will give her a fitting reception. We would suggest a dejeuner at the League House, and as we have not the choler.i In our midst, we might so far indulge her Highness as to allow succatash, but not green peas. We, at least, shall not have her death on our hands. Her next visit will be to Massachusetts, where she will be under the especial care of Governor bcLLocK. She will there have an opportunity of tasting chowder, ana witnessing how it is made; also, of hearing the grand orf an, and, as she is High-Church, we hope that Koine one will perform Gloria in f rrelsis in Hawaiian. Thence to Niacrura Falls, and back to New York, faking in our city en the way to Washington. When she comes, let us be careful not to be found like the foolish vire'ns, wiih our lamps untrimmed.

EVKMNO TELEGRAPH SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE ) CoNor.Ess Hall, Cape Island, N J , I Aupust 10, 1866. ) When a dtnizen of the city makes his appearance at Una e-s,do resort, he is not a little surprised at the Mir and bustle which he encounter. On iho arrival of each train, the depot is gurroundod by a large and turhu'ent crowd, each mnmber ofwbioh seems to anticipate tho appearanoo ot gome old lnmillnr face among iho nowest comers. So thore are eager, prying loots, and beckoninp of bands and waving of handkerchiefs as the expected ono alights, covered with the dust and crimed with the sniuko of travel. And then come the salutations the prnspini of hands by the si ei nor sex, and the more farm lar gree mgs of the lair ones intermin gled with the hubbub of their questions and answers, and tho unearthly ain of tho cabmen, who are anxious to rooi ivo rn honest penny lor an indefinitely smad amount of trouble. Alter the preliminaries aro arranged at the hotol the first thing in oraer is TUK TOUR OF THE ISLAND. It is romantic, and nothing more. Urliko Atlan. tic C'lt?, thcto is not a superabundance of room, and hence ho street and avenues are narrow, and the but dings crowded into a mass. It would bo the tusk ot a whole duv toi numerate (he difToront hotols and halls at which i ntcrtainmont for man aud boast is afforded. Several ot tbom aro of gigantic pro portions, whilo a still more nuun rous class are of very smull d mansions. To architectural beauty none of them can av any special c'aim. Tho "Jersey" stylo ig the prevalent one, and "Jersey," as all the world knows, is remarkable lor almost anything bat SwVlo. A flr't-clasj sea-side hotel mav bo dcscrib"d as a long, irrogu'ar string of Irnmework. surrounded by multitudinous porcueo, and painted a dull mud color. Koxt year tnere will be an innovation upon this tims honored absence of system and beauty. This will result from the erection of TUE MODKL I10TKL THAT IS TO BB, A movement in this direction was first macio some two year ago, by Mr W. K. Midor, of Capo Island, who has steadily pushod tho matter forward uutil it has assumed a substantial lorm A charter hag been procured lrom the Lowlature under which a com pany ig Doing rapifly organizod. The amount ot money required is $250,000, and as goon aa $200,000 aro raised the worK will be commenced. Atthough the subscription oooks were opened but two weeks ago, over 880,000 have already boon secured in Phila delphia, Baltimore, and Washington. It is confidently expected that the managers of tho enterprise will bo able to perfect it in time for tho opening of tho next season, the new bo el is to he called tho "West Jersey.". Tho location will bo on a spit of land in tho southern part of the island, com manding an ocean iron of one thousand yards. Tne building itself will be in the shape of tho lotter Y, three stories in he ght, and so situated that from each chamber there will bo a full view of the ocean. In capacity it will be equal to any hotel at the rea sido, affording comloi table accomodations for at least six hundred guests. fot the least intoros'ing feature of tho Island is THE COTTAGE BT THE SKA. This, it must bo understood, is iho true, original, and genuine "Cottago," concerning the glories of which the poet and musician have diecoursed so sweotly torso many years. Tao cottage has many different aspects. Ono moment it seems soarooly more than a shanty, thrown together for the accommoda tion of somo one who is accustomed to dealing with the world in its harshest mood. Yet you need but give your head a turn, and you behold almost a lairy oower, adorned with Gothio windows and me dieval turrets. It is in this that the "solid man' fixes the pcrmanout abode of his tami'y for tho sum mor season, while bo lnmsolt rests satisfied with a hurried sojourn once in a week or so. SEA-BIDE PHILOSOPnT. It Is a mistaken notion that the fasnionable world deserts the ctty, simply beeu-o it is unfahlonable to be found in town; or that the motive which guides their lootsiop to the soa-side is a desire to be seen in all the glory of their dress and diamonds by the favored ones of the earth. It was a spitolul, mis antbropio wretoh who first gave currorcy to this slanderous report. The gu lty thing has long since died lrom absolute unfltuess to live in a reasouablo world. Because of his demise, we fear no contradiotion when we divulge the truth and gist of the matter. It 1 simply this: Ihe rich and the poor, the nigh and tho low, the comely and the hideous, those of good and those of bad repute In short, the wbolo sea side populace, make this their tumm.tr retreat, that they may dip themgelves in the ocean and shake themselves in the dance. No other earthly motive was ever known to enter into their calci- lutiong. Those who wore so fortunate as to be at Cape Island vesteraay, enjoyed aa opportunity for these pastluicg such as rarely fails to the lot even of the professional plousure-eeker. First, of course, wo witnessed tLe SCENES UPON TUB BEACH. Iho oay was clear and oool Just such a one, iu fuel, as this Island City always takes advantugo o to empty its whole population into tho tur bulent sea. On such su occasion humanity is lorced upon a level. The arbitrary distinctions of society are all merged iu the one graud parsion lor a wre-tle with the waves, ir ever a man looks hideous, or a woman frightful, it is at such a time. Iho bathing oosiume most in vogue obliterates completely the woikol nature and of art A tirmai'ant ig as attractive as an angel, a Bluebeard as harmless u a parlor ijaudy, whon all aro thus disfigured and diegmsod. Hut to one dwells upon those trifles. Arrayed in a suit of checked or striped flannel, and surmounted by fac-bimite of tae head-rla which hag made the namu of "Jim Crow" a torror to the inlantile world tor all time to come, you trip along the pl.ttenng sands with your face towards tho ocean. Then comes "the tug of war " li ou l ave never done the deed before, J ou quivor wits sffrivht and shiver at the slistitot breath ol air I be Drat dose of aalt water is as bad to tako as a dose of Ipecacuanha. You glance upon the vast expanse ot water, and recall the peril o! life and limb with nhioh it is fraught, the luoDstroaitlc with which it swarms. Crab aud barks are horrors oft minor character. It yoa have read Victor Hupo's "roller of the Sea," yoa fwl the terrible embtaoo of the devil fiah; If yoa hare read thestory of Jonah, too behold the dread sea- serpent himself, and that your eyes whilo he devours yoor body and your soul. Whon you hare proresed so far f iat tbe first wave breaks over your bare feet, these horrors are dismissed; a new one seizes jou the honor of death at the hands oi the sea Itself. Tou have read that drowning men even catch at straws, and you glance around ) ou mr thu forlorn hope. Yoa grasp instead tbe hand of your companion, who tako hut bath as regularly as he takes his bieaktaat. Yoa are roassured ; you ao a li'.le further. The wator reaches to your knees. You hoar at your right band tbe aorrama of a child apparoLtly In the last agonies of death, loa quake Yet still advancing, you behold In your very face a seething, foaming mas. Then you turn to flee tho coming wrath. It is too late; and as you bond terward in despair, the sari breaks over you, and rods along, tripping up your foot, and casting you at Ion nth upon your face. Is that tho whole of tne peril? It is And then you roll, ana toss, and tnmb e at your will, yourself and your lancies the gport ol tbe irohcaotne wares. If thoe that go down into the sea In ships aeo tho wondora ot the deep, truly those that go down into thu deep Itself, for the first time, realize tho glory of lifo to a fuller and richer extent than tncy have ever done before. The chief attraction of the day, however, was the BAL MASQUE OF LA COTKRIE CARNIVAL There Is always ono grand event of the season, tov aids which the frequenter of the Island City are accustomed to look forward with foelings of more than ordinary interest. This year, as has been the case lor several jears past, it was the ma-ked ball to be given at Congress Hall, uuder tho auspices of 'La Cotone Carnival." The note of preparation for this culmination ot the gayeties ot the seasou was sounded wojk' ago, emco whon it has grown louder and stronger, until at last all other and inferior schemes huve dwindled Into comparative insignifi cance. In view of this extra attiaction, there has been a largo Increase in Ihe floating popu ation of the is aud during the past icw days, aud yesterday especially the arrivals were very numerous. Two extra trains were put upon the railroad, and the Samuel M, Felton niado up an uuugua ly large passcngor list. Tho steamer lolt the city in due season, but arrived at the lauding at a very Inopportune moment. Tho wind was blowing almost a gale, ibo breakers rolling so high and so recklessly that it was entirely out of the question to attempt to disembark tbe passeogers at the usual point. In such a contingency thore was but one alternative the Felton swept around the Cape and auchorrd oft tbe beach near Congress Hall At this point a landing was to be effected through the agency of tho littlo tubs called sari-boats. The news of this unusual movement soon sproad over the island, tho wholo population turning out en masse to witness tho sport Thoy were gratified. HOW THE "FHLTOV LAKDKD UEH PASSENGERS, At five o'clock the ceremony beean Throe surf boats, manned bv hearty watormon, portormed the work. The first cargoes we e made up of the mem bers of Beck's Band, who came hither to participate in tho musical programme. Everything wont well enough until tho boa's were wnbin a few rods of tho sboie. Then the oarsmen paused, and watching their opportunity, tbey caught an advancing billo v, by which they were landed high upon the sand. High, but not diy. A crowd of screaming young sters, with pantaloons rolled ud above thoir knoos, made a rush for tho boat, and took possession of the baggage without so icuation. Tlion a few stout man in bathing robes .laod the part of beasts of burden, the musicians ndi: r a-straddle ot their backs to the fhoro. Tbe crowd cheered, and the corcmony was repeated. When the first boat, containirg ladies, nearod the shore, it was caught up m the embiace of a passing breaker, and stranded hih upon dry land. Thus did tho vinds and the waves conspire to do nonor to tbe gentlo sex. Tbe sun bad gone down ore tho last ot the Felton't passengers tood upon the shore. At 8 o'clock tbe lest'Vitiog of the evening were commenced by a display ot FIREWORKS. on tbe lawn of Congiess Hall. A crowd of several thousand people had assemb'ed to witness them, expressing great satisfaction at the result. Rockots and Roman candles filiod the heavens with thoir momentary radiance, whilo the niuht was mado luminous with blue lights, red lights, and evory other color ot lights. Thore wero alo several elabo rate pieces fired, and altogether tho exhibition did cred.t to tbe projectors. At hall-past nine the door of the spacious dining bad weie thrown open, whereupon tho hundreds of peoplo who bad bocn patiently w aiting without in tbe porches and passages made a rush for TUB SCENE OF THE CARNIVAL. Iho ball was beautifully and elaborately deco rated. Surrounding it on all sldos were festoons of red, white, and blue, looped up at the columns with the coats-of-arms of every btato in tne Union. On each of the chandeliers the Stars and Stnpos were displayed, and acrosa the room at interval extended a continuous line of fluttering banners. Tho whole design was simp e, jet attractive in tts very sim plicity.

Hassler Tbe music for tbe dance was performed by Hass ler' Orcbe-tra, and was all that the most fastidious in fueh matters could domand. Alter every sot there was an Interval for promenading, the tnusio for this purpose being discoursed bv Beck'a Band in the moat Baiislaotory manner. There wore two prominent features to tho entertainment the danc ing and THE MASQUERADE Notwithstanding that tbe announcement was tor a bal manque, the majority of tbe ladles and peutle men preseut were in full evening dress ouly. Yoc this was anything but objectionaoie, a ft gave tur greater variety than would have roaulted from a mere collection of persons attired in funtastio cos tume. Tnere were enouch of thesa last present, however, to give the performance the right to the title of a Carnival. The dresses of the masqueraders presented a cu. rious admixture of tbe ludicrous aud its opposite. The two most striking flpjrea on tae floor were "Lord Duadnary" and tba "Quoen of Night." Tbe yawning, simpering fop was admirably per sonated, ao rumor spoke, by a renowned magtoiau, who by his trick has turntd tba beads of tha tool Ish and puttied the brains of tbe wise throughout tiie world. Tba " Queen or Nlht" waa robed m tbe traditional gauze of sombre hue, glittering with tbe accustomed spangle, and crowned with the time-honored crescent. Presenting a similar contrast were a conple of masks which attraoted considerable attention. The one was a quaint, old-fashioned gentloman, arrayed in light brown knee-breeches and dark brown klrt e, and sporting on the extremities ol his nether limb a pair of w bra stooklngs. Ilia bead-r'r waa a yollow wig and queue, wblob looked very much as if they bad been subjnetcd to an imperfect singeing over a slow fire. Ui bows wero the profoundoat that we rotieed, his antics iho most lcdoaciibable. At one time he was seen whirling through tho danos with a dainty little Swiss peasant for a partner; at another he waa amusing himself by galloping froro ono end ot the ball to tho other with a veritable imp of Satan on bis back. The counterpart of this fantastic Individual was a "Sister of Mercy," arrayed in a flawing robe of simplo black. For somo time she lent a new grace and dignity to this character, and then catching the ptevajhng passion, she went rushing through tho v a ti and storming through the ?alop. A to her prom nont charaoter was that personated by a young ladv every one thought she wasauohat first, and every ono was Justified when her mask was fina'ly removed who assumed the part ot an Italian cavaliet ot long ago. She was as dashing, as bewitching, as Morons! horsett In the role of Mafeo Ortini. 6 he bad her counterpart in a damsel of Hibernian extraction, who aas glorious in a head dress surroun-lod by monatrous frills. Hercnmsou akirt was so looped up as to display to good advan tage a lively littlo pair ot feet and a gorgeously variegated petticoat. Tbe extremes of civilized and savage life were like wise brought together. A "Noble Bed Man of the Forest " personated the one, and a Frenchman of tbe old school the other. This Jean Crapeau was arranged in a snlt of black, with a large yellow vest, aud a monstrous white cravat. His whiskers wore on a par with tbe latter, save in the item of color. The "lted Man" was resplendent in feathers and hone bair, and had a bad habit of .poking people in the ribs with his bow. Ho was supported by several "Ked Women," whose costumes were quite as fan tastic as his own. Thero were soveral gentlemen present who had somewhat of a military bearing. Ouo especially partook slightly of the Sanoho Panza order. His pantaloons were blue, and stripod with white; hia coat was lormed ot long red and yellow patches; his cbapt au was an intormlxture of a f colon, flutter ing with ribbous ot various hues. When not engaged in the ounce, he strutted about as if la starch of a windmill. This military gentleman was much tn company with one who had but slight pre tensions tu tho same character. Ho wore a blue spangled sugar loat ot a hat, a white coat bordered with red, and cr.mson pantaloons. Hib head ap peared to bo sot very far back upon his shouldors. To dt tail the particulars ol auotlier lancy costume would exhaust our sui plyof adjectives. Suffice it to say that thoro were numerous specimens, eich one more or less varying from all others, of every style of dress in which tno costumier is acou'iomed to deal. Ladies and gentlemen of tbe lastoontury wcro abundant, and somo who looked as it they might belong to a ontury or two in the future. Long coat-tails and patchwork pantaloons were all the rage in some quarters. Cavaliers, both male nnd lemalo, were likewise abundant, as well as sun dry reddish imps, who looked an 1 aoted as if they wero destined to grow un into first-class impersona tions of tbo Evil One himself. Tbe domiLOS woie too common and too numerous to mention. Thorb was also a group of wtute-rohed Chinamen, who carried about with them tremen dous specimens of theplg-ia l order; and as to tbo monstrosities of eyes and uo'es, we shall not attempt to mention, much less to enumorato thorn, But tbe mafqueradcrs composed only a moiety of the assemblage, while every one present was at lib erty to participate in THE PANCINO. And every one apparently availed himsolf of the coveted opportunity. The ball was crowded to its utmost capacity, and there waa out little room for the light, fantastio tripping of one's toes.
