The inauguration ball, -which took
place in the National Museum building,
1 1 - :
was in an respeuis a crowning buccbbb,
and in keeping with the other leading
events of the day.
The ball, like all its predecessors, was
not strictly a full-dress affair, though
the greater number were in full dress.
Still, there was a large number of la
dies, visitors to the city, who were at
tired in street-dresses. These, except
in occasional cases, did not, as a rule,

THE SUE-Ntt
from an elevated position was a most
bewildering one. The moving crowd,
surging here and there, now jammed
in some envied corner, finding its out
let again under the waving draperies of
the lofty arches, formed an enchanting
mass of vivid coloring, with all the at
tributes of life and beauty. The gorge
ous uniforming of the soldier guests,
from the picturesque attire of the old
continental to the gold-laced and crimson-sashed
army and navy officer of our
day, brought out the sober tints of the
more familiar blue and gray in trong
relief.
The effect of the
ELECTRIC LIGHT
on different complexions was curious.
to some it gave a velvety smoothness
and a marvellous brightening up; to
others a ghastly visage. To many a
fair face, while it dimmed the lustre of
the jewel, it added new brightness t
the sDarklinz eve and vouthful face.
The ladies' dresses, as they moved
about between the green banks of the
rotunda, were much enhanced in beau
ty. Around this circle oecame ine ra

the dances. The dancing went on mer

a grand affair in every conceivable way
the ball was too large to be thoroughly
enjoyable, though it was a: vast im
provement in this respect on the in
auguration, receptions given Grant, the
first, at the Treasury, being inconven
iently crowded, and the second, in a
temporary, . building on Judiciary
Square, being, uncomfortably cold and
but slimly Attended.
Geu. Hancock was among those who
congratulated the President. Gen. Han
cock was himself as much of an attrac
tion almost as the President, and the re
ception given him was continuous
from the time be entered the building
until he left.
The President and party left soon af
ter the dancing began. At midnight
the thinning out ot the building was very
noticeable. Many ladies had engaged
themselves for all the dances on the
programme, not thinking that so much

THE ADMISSION TICKET
to the ball cost $5 for each and every
person. Besides this, $1 was charged
each person for supper. The latter was

pacity of supplying the wants of about
two thousand at tne same time. o.ue
supper was a good, satisrying one,
though it fell much below the meal
lurnished at previous inauguration re
I ception balls.
The number who wanted to pay tneir
respects to President Garfield was so
large that the regular order could not
be carried out, and the line having been
broken, they separated into several
lines, retarding progress so much that
soon there was a crush in West Hall.
To straigthen out matters, General
Garfield started out with a promiscu
ous hanflshakinff. takiner in all sections
of the building in his march. This took
. . A At 1 .11 J
the crush out oi tne naii, anu suuu
there was a more even division every
where.
The reception was kept up to the hour
named in the programme 11 o'clock
when
DANCING WAS COMMENCED.
i There was much anxiety to witnesa the
formation ot a presidential set, as mere
has been a question in the minds of
many whether or not the President and
his lady would taKe part in ine uance.
This was. however, soon settled by the
official announcement that the Presi
dent and Mrs. Garfield would not dance.
There was, therefore, no presidential
set, which is without precedent in in-
aueruration balls. A "dances was tne
first set danced, though not over a hun
dred indulged in it. After that the sets
were much larger, aancing uemg rai
ded on in several hails at theame
time.
j THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. GARFIELD,
with Mrs. Haves. Mrs. Evarts, and
VifA-Prftsident Wheeler, received the
guests until the change was necessary,
as they passed along in order. Mrs
Garfield's toilet was of lavender satin,

A few ladies wore light evening bon

"Monopoly" in a Cartoon.
Mr. Keppler.the inventive and fertile
German artist, whose brisk and vigor
ous pencil has made the fortune of
Puck, the only successful journal in
this country after the order of the Lon
don Punch, has surpassed himself in
the cartoou published iu his weekly of
February 9. This cartoon, two full
pages, in five or six colors, is full of
point, life and vigor. It teaches, in lan
guage which even a child may compre
hend, the danger to the republic from
monopoly, and Puck is shown as ask
ing "Uncle Sam," in earnest tones,
"What are you going to do about it V"
Uncle Sam is evidently in great doubt
and perplexity ; he has grov u older and
more teebie since we lastsaw mm, nu
his features betray care and irresolu
tion. Meantime Libeity stands aghast
in the Torv iir'Sjnf.ft of the anaconda of
monopoly, which, with its tail coiled
about the dome of the capitol, rears its
horrid lrant and red, gaping mouth
close to her face, ready to spring and
conscious of its strength. The cartoon
is too suggestive to be pleasant, though
of course exaggerated. Each coil ol the
serpert represents some great moneyed
interest supposed to be conspiring at
the very seat of government against
the essence of our liberties, with the
name of the Senator whom it assumes
to "own." Puck, while often coarse and
brutal to an unjustifiable extreme, is in
some degree a teacher and a contribu
tor to political reform. The danger
from monopoly and its combinations is
tkn rrrm nraacinir insr. TinW frOnl the
ease of the money market and the
cheapness and facility with which large
loans may be set afloat. After awhile
there will come a panic and a financial
crash, in which many of these concerns
will fall to pieces in irremediable ruin.
The public will still, however, have the
benefit of the great works of construc
tion now going on under such auspice?,
and to that extent will be benefitted.

A Ulan Manieii II 1 Sister.
Some years ago a man and wife of
Somerset, Kv., on account of family
troubles, separeted, an only daughter
going with the father, while the son
stayed behind to share the lot of his
mother. The gentleman removed to a
neighboring State and engaged in an
agricultural life, and accumulated con
siderable property. His wife in the
meantime had drifted away to San
Franciseo, Cal. Years rolled by, and
the gentleman died without ever re
vealing the blight of his early life to his
daughter, she being too young at the,
time of the separation to remember
anything about it. Soon after the
mother died, and the son, having no
friends in California and yearning for
the love and confidence of the mends
and relatives of his boyhood, came
back and settled in Kentucky. Last
summer the young lady went to Ken
tucky on a pleasure trip, and while
spending the season at one of the water
ing places met this young man, and,
attracted by his polished manner and
cultured mind, fell in love with him.
He, equally charmed by her winsome
face and feminine graces, reciprocated
the feeling, and after a short courtship
they were married, both totally ignor
ant of the terrible mistake they were
making. A few days ago the old fami
ly lawyer of the young wife s father,
who, by tbe way, knew all the past life
of her father came to see the young
married connle. and during his stay
learned the history of the young man.
Qh....v tv, .imiiorifv nf the vounsr
husband's history and that of his wife s
father, and half believing the horrible
truth, he set himself to work and learm
ed enough to convince mm
daughter ef his old friend had married
her brother. The few friends who have
a tu n.-ir.rr nniin R's sad Dreuica-
merit have concluded to keep the secret
