A number of boys were on the streets last night ringing door bells and leaving valentines. yVhen their stock tf the latter was exhausted tbey, very much ,in keep ing with some of the valentines seut by them entertained themselves with the very gentlemanly practice of "chunking" bats at the front doors of residences.

We accidentaHy omitted to speak yes terday of the Grand Charity Ball given at the City Hall oii Tuesday night. We re gret that we'were not able to be present but. learn from thusj wlu were that it was one of : tha mast pleasant aiTiirs in which they had ever taken part. The dancing was kept up with niuh spi lit thtoughout the entire evening and at mid night an elegaut. supper was partaken of. The success of tlre ball was due in no small measure to the untiring exertions of the committee, Messrs. Sol. Bear, W. Good man, Fred Rheiusteiu, II. Brunhild, A. David, S. II. Fishblate, M. M. Katz and A. Weill. ' Lippincott's Magazine. Lippinctt's Magazine for March opens with a very interesting and handsomely illustrated sketch of travel entitled "In the Valleys of Peru," which is followed by anjentcrtaining account of "An Adventure iu Japan," also finely illustrated. "Seth' is a prfwerful story by that popular writer Fannie Hodgson Burnett, and "A Jewish Family," also a story, presents a strong pic ture of Jewish life and character. Under the title of "Reminiscences of a Poct-Pain-I ter," are presented . some very interesting recollection and anscdotes of T. Buchanan tlead, the well-knowa author of "Sheri dan's Ride" and other poems. "Place aux Dames ; or The Ladies Speak at Last," is an amusing little p'ay, in which various female characters from Shakespeare's works arc introduced and. made to speak in a manner that would surely astonish the "Bard of Avon." "The Marquis of Los si," by Qeorge Macdonald, and "Young Aloys," from the German of "Auerbach are continued with increasing interest. Poetry is ably represented by three cbano ing poems by Charles DeKay, Kate Hillard, and Sidney Lanier. "Our Monthly Gossipw is full of good, short papers, and the "Lit erature of the Day" includes several able reviews. The Performance To-Morrow JSight. We feel perfectly safe in assuring our friends and readers that a rare treat will be given to all who. may attend at the performance given to-morrow evening at the Opera House by the appearance of Miss Mary Anderson, the young traged ienne, in her favorite role of Juile.t. She comes here from cities to the South. of us strongly endorsed ami, we believe, fully prepared to rival Katie Putnam iu the affections of our theatre-goers. As she will play here , but . one night there is therefore but one opportunity of Seeing her. The box sheet is how open at Heinsbergers where seats may be secured. Scattering The Crowd. A 'gentlemaii' who was yt'rv much annoyed last night by ' the . "valentine" boys throwing rocks at bis front door, quietly slipped out of the house the back way and stole around to the front garden where he proposed to lake a hand iu the sport. He secured a bat in his hand'and presently when the boys slipped along by 'the fence and-threw their rocks at the door he let loose the bat he ht-ld in his hand. It flew straight to its mark but alas! it struck on the edge of the fence aud inissed its aim, and robably cheated Coronor Hewlett out of a job. There was an unusual dodging of heads' on the street side of "that fence and it is hardly probable that that gentleman's door will be rocked again between this and next Valeutine's Day. ' St. Valentine. The origin "of St. Valentine's day is in volved in obscurity. . It his been con tended that it has descended from the old Romans, who, during the month of: Feb ruary among other festivals drew the names of young girls from a box:. and that the church, finding that the people clung to this practice, cave it a religious dress and placed it under the patrouage of St. Valentine. Another theory, aud probably the correct one, is that it is a relic of the nature-religion which recognized this time as the season of mating among animals, and hence sanctified this time to the sexes. The custom of devoting this day to festivities and interchange of feelings was some time back very largely observed in England, Scotland, and on some parts of the continent. 'Parties of ladies and gen tlemen would assemble on the eve of St. Valentine and write-'tmtieceso paper thebamesof their acquaintance. Theso were thro wu into a . box aud the names drawn out by those present, each drawing one of au opposite sex. The person whose name was thus drawn became ths valen tine of the person drawing, and so re mained for. a year. This relation was a sori of temporary engagement which often ripened into a real one. This amusement was very popular in the fifteenth centum among all grades of society, even at many European courts. , It, however, fell into disuse, and the symbolic meaning passed away; the era of glaring prints came with their burlesque. as well as sentimentality, and the Custom has been rapidly disap pearing. It now lingers principally as a harmless sport for the little ones,' or. is availed of bj persons to indulge in coarse burlesques at the expense of others. Seamen' Friend Society. The adjourned annual meeting, tin; 24 tb, of the Seamen's Friend Society, was held last evening in the Bethel in this citv. The meeting was ojened by calling Maj. M. P. Taylor to the Chair and re questing Mr. C. H. Robinson to act as Secretary. Mr. George R. French, President of the Society, then submitted the following report: -; . Gextlemex : Another year, fraught with its hopes and its disappointments, its joys and its sorrows, has passed and we come logeiuer again on xnis our an nual meeting,' to confer as to the best method of advancing the interests and usefulness of our Society. One of our number, and an officer of our institution, has but recently passed- "through the valley of the shadow of death ' and Tests from his labors. I refer to Mr. Silas N. Martin, our late Secretary and Treasurer, than whom this institution had no firmer friend, nor one more ready to give his time and business talents to its advance ment and for its benefit. We shaU feel his loss as a councelor in our financial matters, and his earnest co-operation in all efforts to extend our influence for good. Our acting Secretary and Treasurer will present a detailed statement of the condi tion of the treasury, to which we invoke your attention. Owing to the continued depression in business we have been un able to rent our property, as we contem plated, and the receipts have therefore been very much reduced.' The . upper part of the Home not being all finished, has been detrimental to its rental, and I would advise its completion ' so soon as the So ciety can see its way clear to do so after providing for its present indebtedness. We were compelled to incur during the past year a debt of some five hundred dollars in "repairing the tront of the Bethel, which was so badly cracked and weakened as to be thought unsafe and liable to fall. It has been replaced by a substantial brick front and is now permanent and secure. We would advise some- action in devising means to increase our revenue,; and look ing to a reduction of our present indebted ness. There are about 100 of our citizens who pay the sum of two dollars per year to aid in paying fhe interest on the debt and insurance on the building. I would suggest the propriety of calling upon the citizens generally to subscribe this small sum annually until business revives and our building and stores can be rented, at remunerative prices. Our claim against the United States goucrnmcnt is in the hands of our Repre tentative, Hon. A. M. Waddell, who premises to look after it and insure its collection if practicable. The Seamen's Friend Society thankfully acknowledges the donation from the parent Society of the Seamen's Friend Society of New York city, of the sum of six hundred dollars, to aid in sustaining the Chaplain iu preach ing and ministering to the seamen who visit our port. For-amount of Caiistian labjr perform ed we refer to report of our Chaplain. Respectfully submitted, Geo. R. Fuench, Pres't. Mr. French's report was adopted and spread on the rniniites. M. B. F. Mitchell, Secretary, and Treasurer, then submitted the following report : - .

Its success, thus tar is favorable to its continual ex istence. The membership is increasing and we 'anticipate increased prosperity. During the past year I have visited 784 vessels and distributed 59,815 tracts' Gentlemen, the outlook iu my field, is hopeful. Increased efforts will bring greater success. We need more aid from' others. It is a good work, deserving our warmest sympathies. The Sailor needs friends.
