The Soiree Dansante To-Night.--The lovers of saltatory motion will be
pleased to know that to-night they may enjoy the pleasures incident to the
polka, the redowa, the waltz, the lancers, and all the other forms of dance into
which the votaries of Terpsichore have woven that art.
Mr. Cleveland holds another of his soirees, at Temperance Hall, and there
will be, as usual, an abundant supply of the spirit of Terpsichore and a full
attendance of its votaries. Good
music, without which the spirit of the dance languishes, will lend its charm to
the occasion.
Mr. Cleveland is about to begin a new course of lessons, and it is well
that those desirous of perfectness in so agreeable and graceful an
accomplishment, without which now-a-days, one feels awkward in society, should
apply to him as pupils at an early day. "A

My new Catalogue of Books contains a full list of Histories, Biographies,

Agricultural Works, Dictionaries, Lexicons, Albums, Annuals and Presentation
Books, Receipt and Cook Books, Bibles, Hymns and Prayer Books in very style of

which are handsomely Bound and Guaranteed Perfect in every respect.
In purchasing of us, the Book Buyer has nothing to lose, and everything
to gain; for the Gift System, as originated and conducted by us, is no lottery,
as many have been prejudiced to suppose; if it were, there would be a hazard or
possibility of loss to the investment, of which there is none.
It is known to the purchaser that he is to receive an equivalent for his
money; the Book selected is furnished at the price which is demanded by all
booksellers, and if ten or more are taken at the same time, at LESS than the
regular price. Aside from this
investment, which returns an equivalent, a present is made with each purchase,
which, be it worth fifty cents or one hundred dollars, is yet clear gain. Thus is a taste for healthy instruction and amusement,
surrounded with additional attractions, and books of sterling interest and value
are scattered far and wide.
The
Gifts
Consists of--Gold and
Silver Watches, Gold Chains, Silver Plated Ware, Costly Setts of Cameos, Mosaic,
Florentine, Coral, Garnet, Turquoise and Lava Jewelry, Gold Lockets, Pencils and
Pens, Ladies' Neck and Chatelain-Chains, Gents' Bosom Studs, Sleeve Buttons and
Pocket-Knives, and a thousand varieties of Gifts of use and value.

Coaxing Up an Expression.--A brace of lovers anxious to secure each
other's shadow ere the substantial faded, stepped into an ambrotype car one day
last week, to sit for their pictures. The
lady gave precedence to her swain, who, she said, "had got to be tuck fust
and real natural." He brushed
up his tow head of hair, gave a twist or two to his handkerchief, asked his girl
if his collar looked about X, and planted himself on the operator's chair, where
he assumed the physiognomical characteristics of a poor mortal in a dentist's
hands, and about to part with one of his eye teeth.
"Now, dew look purty!" begged the lady, casting on him one of
her most languishing glances.
The picture was taken, and when produced it reminded the girl, as she
expressed it, "jist how Josh looked when he got over the measles!" and
as this was not an era in her suitor's history particularly worthy of her
commemoration, she insisted that he should stand again.
He obeyed, and she followed him to the chair.
The poor fellow tried to follow the indefinite injunction.
"La," she said, "why, you look all puckered up!"
One direction followed another, but with as little success.
At last, growing impatient and becoming desperate, she resolved to try an
expedient which she considered infallible, and exclaimed:
"I don't keer if there is folks around!"
She enjoined the operator to stand at his camera; she then sat in her
feller's lap, placing her harms around his neck, managed to cast a shower of
flaxen ringlets as a screen between the operator and her proceedings, which,
however, were betrayed by a succession of amorous sounds, which revealed her
expedient. When this billing and
cooing had lasted for a few minutes, the cunning girl jumped from Josh's lap,
and cried to the astonished operator:
"Now you have got him! Put him through!"

en Poudre Dentifrice.
Oco or Dental Snuff
Is not introduced to
the American public, composed of the purest Snuff, divested of its objectionable
qualities, and retaining its power as a disinfectant and detergent.
It has the endorsement of the Parisian world as the most useful and
elegant toilet article in the world. Elegantly
mounted. Superbly flavored. As
an ornament and as a toilet pleasure, it has no equal.
Notice.
No. 1—Golden Banded Oco—Retains all its natural strength and
pungency, as imported, and is a most superior article for those who desire an
agreeable stimulant. It imparts to
the teeth that peculiar brilliancy for which the ladies of southern Europe are
so justly celebrated.
No. 2—Silver Banded Oco—Designed expressly for the Northern market,
retains all its powers as a dentifrice; though greatly reduced in its
stimulating properties. As a Gem on
your toilet stand you will be pleased with it, and for its excellency you will
recommend it.

Fashions.
The "opening of the Spring fashions (says the Boston Post)
took place in New York on Thursday. The
weather was unfavorable, but we learn from the New York papers that the ladies
in attendance at the different establishments were numerous.
It appears that the SKIRT, for the coming season, will be the most
expensive part of a lady's dress, nothing less than a fully trimmed skirt being
considered en regle. The
greater the number of flounces that can be put on a dress, the better; so, of
course, the taller a lady is, the finer she can be, and tall ladies will be all
the fashion this summer. Where the
material is too heavy for flounces, or individual taste is opposed to them,
matters may be compromised by a brandebourg passamenterie trimming, arranged en
tablier upon the front of the skirt, which, however, necessitates a similar
trimming up the corsage. The female
mind of New York is just now most profoundly agitated upon the bonnet question.
The spring bonnets resemble in shape the cottage bonnet, worn years ago,
only that the front does not set quite so close to the face.
They are thought to be decidedly pretty, and if not carried to an ugly
extreme in size, will be pronounced the prettiest worn in a long time.
The last year's fashion ran on at the back of the head--this year, says
the New York Times, it threatens to
run quite over the eyes. The front
projects nicely over the top of the head, yet stands out sufficiently from the
face to enable a lady to dress her hair as she may like.
The cap, or soft crown, seems to be a great favorite, but plain ones are
much worn. Rich flowers and
illusion will be largely used in trimmings.
Among other novelties is the "Patti shall," which is made of
rich black silk, a flowing pattern, having a double point behind, and variously
trimmed. Flounces will be so much
worn this season it is thought that a shall of this kind will be needed; it is
described as not large, and sets out prettily, giving full [fold in paper] to
the dress. There are a variety of
pretty new sleeves, the capuchias and the half [fold in paper ] sleeve being
among the most conspicuous. Some
modistes tried to introduce the narrow-gored skirt and tight-fitting sleeve this
season, but the effort, says the Times
again, happily for taste and beauty, failed.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
which is great on tables of imports and exports, has no politeness for the
"making and trimming" part of the business.
It dismisses the important event of Thursday with the following brutal
paragraph:
"The milliner's semi-annual 'opening' was to have taken place
yesterday, but the unseasonable weather caused a postponement.
This occasioned exhibition of head toggery gives a queue to the fashions
throughout the country."

The
Skater's Valentine.
Her heart is like a

On whose cold brink I stand;

And take me by the hand;
And lead thou, loving saint, the way
To where the ice is thin,
That it may break beneath my feet,
And let a lover in.

An
Irishman on Broadway
Sure I'll agree,
'Tis fine to see,
The darlings show their paces,
All along Broadway,
St. Patrick's day,
In the glaming skirts and laces.
I love the sight,
Whin spotless white,
Of petticoats embroidered,
Each little fut,
From out them put
Like laves of lillies bordered.
But at this date,
That moighty strate,
From Grace spire unto Astor,
Bespatters dirt,
On every skirt,
Like pepper from a castor.
Fie on you, dears,
Of tender years,
Who show no more discretion
Such streaked hose;
And ruined clothes,
Exciting admiration!
There's Madame Vic,
Of nonsense sick,
Knows better how to dress her;
The kirtle red,
She wears instead;
The Howly Virgin bless her!
Or else bedad,
Of highland plaid--
(I'm Irish but I love it.)
She makes a skirt,
That scorns the dirt,
And loops her gown above it.
Then here's the gall,
With the Balmoral,
And dainty top boots slender,
Who's as discrate,
As she is swate,
And wise as she is tender.

The Smoking, Chewing and Snuffing Business.--. . . The manufacture of
cigars is quite a business institution in our city, and it is estimated that
there are at least 1,000 cigar manufacturers in Philadelphia. . . In the
manufacture of snuffs there are four mills that employ 50 hands, and have a
capital invested of $80,000. Smoking
tobacco is cut in the snuff mills, and also by mills devoted exclusive to that
purpose. The product averages 5,000
pounds per day, worth 10 cents per pound of $150,500.
The cigar, snuff and tobacco trade is estimated to $6,000,000 per
annum--which, not to count the immense sums invested in the imported weed, is
all spit and sneezed away, or ends in smoke, without a single remunerative good
accruing from its consumption.--Philadelphia Pennsylvanian.

Wool Trade in Dallas.--The Dallas, Texas, Herald says:
Some idea may be formed of the extent of this important branch of
industry from the quantity that is brought into Dallas every week.
One house alone has already purchased 12,000 pounds, of excellent
quality, and other houses are doing a heavy business in the same line.
It is believed that not one half of the quantity raised in Dallas county
has yet been brought to market; and several lots of merino wool, we know, have
yet not been sold. This is fast
becoming one of the most lucrative branches of the industrial interest of
Northern Texas, and one that is attended with as little loss and as few
casualties as any other.

Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz!
Mosquitos! Mosquitos!
These annoying little
pests are effectually driven from any apartment in a few minutes by burning one
of the
Chinese
Mosquito Tapers.
These Tapers in burning
give off a pleasant odor, although perfectly harmless to the human family, it is
extremely repulsive to the Mosquito tribe; so much so, they will immediately
leave any apartment, if it is possible so to do; and if the room be closed so as
not to admit of their egress, they will be so affected as to destroy all
disposition to sing, buzz or bite, rendering them inoffensive for the night.
These Tapers are done up in neat packages of sixteen Tapers each, one of
which is sufficient to clear a room of ordinary size for the night.
For sale wholesale or retail by
Havilland, Clark & George, Mobile.
