Prof Our Own Corrnrfxmdfnt.
New York, March 19, 1870.
The Porlm Bull
thnt wag given on Thursday evening was almost as
brilliant a display as has ever taken place In this
city. A frood many llebrew patricians wore
present, but they were unavoidably mixed up
with some of the elements of the canaille.
Towards half-past 2 In the morning some con
sternation was created by the dUeovcry that one
of tho maskers, a man In tho disguise of a
French waltinr-mald, had gained access to the
ladles' dre8Plng-roora. The respectable female
relatives of the floor-managers grew pale
with anger at this Irregularity, and
the offender was remonstrated with,
lie expressed contrition, and proved
that his penitence was practical by gathering his
skirts around Mm and leaving the ball-room,
shaking tho dust oil his feet, or more literally,
the chalk off his gaiters. Tho floor managers,
by-the-by, prided themselves upon the elegant
yet simple style with which tho entertainment
was conducted. At supper, for Instance, the
usual French gibberish wVth which comostlblos
are baptized la the bills of fare was discarded.
It was enough for the guests to bo in masquerade,
without the "goodies" being disguised. The
delicacies of the season and I am glad to say
that this ball differed from the French ones in
the fact of there being no female indellcaclos of
the season to eat them were printed In plain
English. Some of the viands were peculiar to
the Jewish table, and had quite as much indi
viduality about them as dishes characteristic of
Protestantism have.
Our Relations with Npnln.
Since Zoe, the "Cuban sylph," has vanished
from the footlights of New York, our relations
with Spain havo become Bomc what complicated
and. bid fair to grow more so. For instance,
next Wednesday weok, a company of "real"
Andaluslan dancers are to appear at Tammany
the defunct Tammany from whose boards the
secular blondes and the Sabbatic George Francis
Train were swept at one fell swoop. Professor
Klsley, the same repHtabillty who imported
All-Right, and led the Japanese jugglers through
the country, has been taking his pick from the
theatres of Madrid, Seville, Granada, and
Malaga, and has got together some of the best
men-dancers and womun-dancers in all Spain.
Professor Rlsley's love for the people of New
York in particular, and the United States In
general. Is represented to be so great that he
rejected with contumoly the offers
made him by managers at Paris
and London, preferring to plump
his troupe down at once upon American shores.
"Will bruncttism frown down blondlsm? Who
knows? The brunettes open at Tammany on
the 30ti; the blondes commence at Niblo s on
the ensiing 4th of April. I should not be sur
prised if, after all, blondlsm has seen its best
nights ii this country for the present. Apropos
of the d:but of tlie Andaluslan ballet, the price
of Spansh mackerel hus gone up, and Castile
soap is ibe fuvorlto saponaceous deodorizer of
.young New York. The brunette regime will
probably be succeeded in its turn by an auburn
haired en of beauties cast in the Lady Don
mould llished and ardent-tempered beauties,
whose verj ghosts would walk about In flesh-colored
tights if they had a chauce.and who squeeze
all that is pisslonate out of life into their tropic
natures, and breathe it forth again in the rhymed
nonsense of burlesque.
Slurried Editor.
There is no good in an editor being married
unless he makes use of his wife. Some of the
editors of struggling weekly papers here do so
in a very practical and charming manner. For
instance, In most of the New York weeklies
there is a fashion department, which is usually
presided over by a lady equally fluent of speech
and pen, who, however, has to both talk and
write up to tho handle. These elaborate de
scriptions of the rarest modes which your wife
reads with so supreme an expression of bliss
transfiguring her features, are all written by
ladles who devote their lives to the work, and
aecordingly do It very well Indeed. Some of
them are ladies, and some of them are women.
Some of them glide through their business du
ties concealed uuder the dlsgutBe of a now de
nlumf.. and with their mission never for atl
instant suspected by the weary dry-goods clerks
who noia up lor weir mspecuon article
after article of lace and silk. Some of them,
whose maiden or whoso married names
are too prosaic to suit the purpose, adopt a fic
titious name tor tno very purpose ot obtaining
notoriety, and while transacting their work for
their papers, put ever so manyironsln the fire for
themselves, now we euuor wno nrst put to
practical use the Idea of making his wife trans
act this business did an eminently good stroke of
business for himself. He need pay her no
salary; the lady would, of course, be faithful to
his interests; and, besides, there could be no
possible objection as thero would be in other
cases to her havinr as many irons in the fire
for herself as she chose. Consequently the New
York weekly editor's wife has found her sphere.
It is that of fashion editress to her husband's
newspaper, and appropriates of as many per
quisites as fall in her way.
Air. Wilkes' Story.
There was an unusual rush yesterday to se
cure copies of the just Issued edition of Wilkes'
Spirit of tlie Times. Every one was naturally
anxious to hear Mr. Wilkes' version of the
caning which all the dally newspapers agreed
that he had received from the hands of Major
W. W. Lcland, whom he had grossly scanda
lized in his paper. To tell the truth, Mr. Wilkes
makes so extremely weak an explanation of
what is popularly believed to have happened,
and calls his antagonist such dreadfully coarse
names, that sympathy with hiia is entirely re
moved from tho breast of every reader who does
not share in the honor of being his personal
friend.
"Where the Woodbine Twlneth'"
It will probably not be long ere Mr. Flak has
the opportunity of repeating this and similar
successful gags. For the present, however, he
has made his last appearance iu court as a funny
man, a witty witness who dared to jest before
the judge, and regale with original badinage the
bench and hut. It often happens, in scenes iu
court, as represented upon the stage, that a wit
ness is needed who understands the exigencies
of the occasion sufficiently to be funny aud keep
the house on the "go" without becoming coarse.
Mr. Flsk has found that be would answer admi
rably for this business, to which perhaps he may
come some day when he shall have speculated
ftwuv his wife s private fortune of two millions.
his own of ten. lost the confidence and support
of J. Gould, and ceased to fluctuate between Erie
on the one band and houri on the other. In
6uch parts as "Where the Woodbine Twineth,"
1 like him better than Ledingwell, Sam 1 temple,
or the ioir-naireu uwen i awcett. ali ua.ua..
The Growth of the American Piano Trade,
Notwithstanding the unusual and general depres
elon of trade, the total amount of sales In 1809 is
fully equal to the buslnes8of the preceding year, and
It Is a noticeable fact that, In the Instance of several
of the largest manufacturers, a large increase of
business Is exhibited. It will be seou that by the
revenue statistics of twenty-six firms given below,
tliev are residents of New York, Bostou, aud Balti
more, and that the aggregate total of their sales
amounts to t5.248,&77. Besides those given In tabular
form there are a number of Biuall tlnus In the three
titles named, and also several In Philadelphia,
A-u.nnv. Buffalo. Indianapolis, tit. Louis, and even
Han Francisco, which will Increase the total amount

United States to fully 86,000 lnstrnraents, netting
Z.r iion o dollar (17,000,000).

and we are glad to say that It withsttod all the
ast-aults made upon It. It is now In use in our Bank

From thk Y'ork Dkmocratic Prfus,

A ItoKOt.AB PhoovSapk. The Fimt National Bank
on Tuesday placed In their Vault one of MAKV1N tt '
CO. '8 CHROME IKON SPHERICAL KURQLAR
PROOF SAFES, which was purchased from their
agent, Mr. Uervy Herman, formerly of this plaoe.
Tbe safe was sold to the Bank subject to such tests
as the Directors saw fit to put it to. They Invited
machinists and others to try their hand at safe
breaking and boring. The Bank employed Major
XpU'y, one of the best machinists In this section of
the country, to "drill the safe, if possible." Tha
Major, with the assistance of bis son, spent several
hours In preparing bis drills and tools, and having
secured a strong leverage, went to work and after
entirely using up his drills, and hardly making as
impression on the safe, gave his opinion that drilling
through, inside of .two weeks, was out of the ques
tion. ' The safe was then attacked with heavy sledges.
Messrs. Small, DUlmeyer it Co. were called npon for
three of their best Blachmiith Striker, who wera
furnished with heavy sledges. ' After plaolng tha
safe la the middle of the sidewalk, they commenoed
whacking away In regular forgo style, dealing blows
that were heard for squares,but with no effect on tha
safe. It may be Imagined with what strength they
dealt their blows, when they were sufllcient to crack
their iledge and render them useless. The trial
created quite an excitement and all were satisfied
that a BUlWLAU-PiiOOF SAFE HAD AT LAST
BEEN FOUND.

Ukntlkmkn : The safe you sent me (No. 4 folding
door tire-proof with No. 1 fclpherlral inside) arrived
saiely, and I should have uo tilled you of the fact
sooner, but have delayed until I could have It tested.
This was done yesterday, and the result was entirely
satisfactory. An experienced blacksmith with the
hardest cold chisel he could make failed to make the
slightest imprrsaion on the Spherical Hare. The
operation was witnessed by a number of gentlemen,
all of whom seemed entirely convinced that the
little ball was Invulnerable.
Yours truly,
TUOMAS A. BELL, Banker.

Gbntijcmkn: We have had the two Spherical
Safes which you furnished ns (size No. 8) tested, and.
we take pleasure In informing vou of tho result.
We bad two experienced workmen from James
Marshall A C'o.'s foundry and machine shop with -good
sledges and drills. The Sufes were placed la
our Banking room, and ' the men pounded away oa
them (maklug a great deal more noise than any bur
glars would dare to do) until we were completely
satisfied that the Safea could not be broken by
Bledges.
We then tried to drill them, and not succeeding In
getting a drill fastened to work at the top, we placed
one of tbe Safes between two brick walls, where tha
men worked at It without making any impression on
anything but the paint. It affords ns pleasure t
state to you that we feel that our funds are perfectly
secure w hen lnBlde your safes.
Yery respectfully.

Besides the above, we can refer to hundreds of
persons, sclentlOo men, experts, Iron founders
machinists and others, who have critically examined
ourSPERICAL SAFE, and willingly give It a prefer
rence over Safes of any other manufacture.
