The members of the Carolina Club were out in force, and quite a number of invited guests were present The rooms were brilliantly illuminated and showed: to very great advantage. The most peasaht,' aa well as the most beautiful feature of the oocasion was the presence of quite a number of ladies among the guests of the Club,' lending an elevated grace and refinement to the scene. We congratulate our friends of. the Club upon the honor done them, by such a presence, and bail it as an . evidence that the gentler sex will always be welcome,- and that the social pastime of the members will be such that thev twfll - never be ' embarrassed by the presence of this character of guests. - Tbe band of Italiau harpers were present and discoursed very delightful music. Some of the; fair guests were tempted by the fascinating strains to yield to the pressing solicitations of attendant cavaliers, and tried the delightful mazes of the waltz, the ball' affording ample room in spite of the tfcree'billiard tables. What with the, music, the dancing, the merry clink of the billiard balls, the soft light and the generaLbeautyuf the scene, it was most pleasaaU to , look upon, . and enough even 7 to tempt a staid Benedict from the round of common-place habit.

Un wbat slender threads hangs the tenure of your purely political office was recently illustrated by the removal or resignation of Mr. E. Legg.as Inspector. Mr. Legg wished, to discharge an obnoxious and disrespectful colored boatman, but as the man's political mnaence or good will, or both, were some thing not to be overlooked, the boatman was reinstated, and Mr. Leetr had to leave: George L. Mabson is Boarding Officer at present. The arrival here, on Saturday night, of tho dredge boat Woodbury, created quite a commotion among the numerous tues. which all gave three whistles with a will in honor of the stranger. Quite a contrast was presented the following morning when the KWjaz entered the Harbor, looking "pretty as a picture." Contrary to expectation not a whigtle sounded, although the Colfax and the U. S. steamer Endeavor had each a man at the halyards ready to dip the - colors in mutual salute, and the tugs were ready to sound a welcome. It is generally held that the Colfax should have saluted, first; as it. was, there was not a sign of a welcome, al though the boat and her officers are univer sally popular down here. Occasional.
