AT KM I' IN UAKCIItU, Tliero has been touch talk of tho late fashionable dances and some people, who have never indulged in or seen the racqiiet, may desire to gel an idea ot i:. The waltzing ol this peiiod is startling- Iv unlike that of a half dozen years past. The racquet, strictly speaking, is neither a waltz nor a polka, though tho best parts of both are prescved. Some cyni cal person who has only looked at the new dauce, thus describes il: 'The mu sic strikes up with a crash, as though a new velcnito had broken wit, ami the jgirl will cling lightly, as though Iriglti j ctied, il she understands the dance, and ■ the young man will reassure her b> a ! goniJc pressure, il lie understands | tho dance, -for knows anything all. i At* Ihe second fcrash they dodge, as j though some one hid thrown a black - I smith simp nt ti.etu, and they stall lu.
