Balls owe their origin to France, and the hundreds of hearts that beat happily last night in the pres ence of the rojal scions of Northern Europe will doubtless bless La Belle France for the invention. Well, the great, stunning sensation of the season is over, and society can now resume tne even tenor ot its way. The crand complimentary ball civ- the even tenor of en "by the representatives of the American .Navy on this station to the Russian officers, now visiting our waters, took place at the Navy yard last night, and passed off with a brilliancy and edlat that will mark it an erea in the memory of all tbe fortunate participants in the re cherche affair. Such an immense display cf rare splendor and impo sing magnificence j and style stands unsurpassed in the round of gay history of this station, and will probably never be repeated unless the blue-blooded princess of Europe and their distingue associates are again the guests; ot the occasion. .All things considered, it was emi nently fitting that the coming cf thfse v REPRESENTATIVES; OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE. to our shores should be character ized by some substantial and ap propriate evidence of our great res pect and welcome as well as appre ciation of their exalted rank and position, and we fell sure the tender of hospitality and 'distinguished civ ilties accorded tbe noble visitors I i i !i ;j . .f last, nignu convey ampie eviueuce 01 1 the good feeling entertained by our people towards the ; distinguished strangers. When! in naval circles it was determined that the honor of a grand complimentary ball should be tendered the Russians, a meet ing of all the officers of the station was - called, committees were ap pointed, and it was decided to carry out tne aetans oi tne anair in a manner that would not only reflect credit on those engaged in it, but he ' worthy, the character of the country as a testimonial of esteem and honor to the rank and posit'on of those of the household of the "Czar of all the Russias." THE SPACIOUS HALL, known as the sail-loft, four hundred and fifty feet in length, was select ed as the salon cTbalt and for sev eral consecutive j days scores of workihgtnen, under the direction of the committre of arrangements. were engaged in fitting up the in terior in a manner highly artistic and sumptuous. Innumerable quan tities of large bunting, representing tne nags ot au nan or s, was intro- duced m decorating the apartment "V W"8 "V"'BS 01 Ine n 1,1x0 uau was cuinupeu m a series of gorgeous and resplendent hues, that for variety, I would have re quired the scintillations, of the kal eidoscope to equal. After days of hrduous work the labors of the com mittee were at an end, and the su perb saloon stood complete in its granduer and beauty, the last touches being to wax the floors. . THE GRAND ENTRANCE, bj an improvised" flight of stairway, was at the North end of the build- ingy vn.the nght ot the. entrance was tne private apartment ariaug- ed and furnished for" the gentlemen to!adjojt their : toilets, and on the I farnisbed with mirror, &c, for the coayeaience of the ladies - in re arranging anj dbtorbances of their loveij, aaormngs. The dressing I room were merely curtained off, and opened directly into 'i THE BALL ROOM. Here was a scene of splendor that, 1 5 "Under the taner'adazzlino hoa.m " was enchanticg to behold. Mottoes, satetaa ana coats-oi-arma shone out conspicuoiuij from the feestoonings os i tne many nags representing Europe, Asia, Africa and America, la lhv centre , overhead was drawn aU'ftmatu laraiaa:'Uallif inat was another, and at the iiead and loot ot the room was suspended expansive .American ensigns. On the right, about midway the saloon, a dan was erected lor the Grand Duk.es and suites, and the reception committee. 4.ue aaitt was most elaborately and r.chly decorated with devices and Howers. ri a vis was erected the gallery for the splendid band of the Hag-ship Zart ford, twenty pieces, and the Artil lery School baud of Tort Monroe, which furnished music tor the oc casion. AW around the apartiueut were disposed row 4 of solas and settees for the accommodation of the "wa.l flowers" and the repose of the dancers. Au arched door way connected the grand saloon With the usual ball-room over the - Yard entrance, which was in use on this occasion as a supper room, and beyond were tne Yard o dices improvised as private apartments for the ladies and gentlemen immediately con nected with the Yard. Hundreds of gas jets illumined the whole, and the tout ensemble was simply grand. THE SUPPER BOOMS, " consisting of the hall over the en trance and the court martial room, were both handsomely decorated with flags, wreaths and festoon?. The first contained eight loug tables and was used by the guest generally and the latter by their Royal ZZig ti neas the Grnd Dukes Alexis and Constantine, Admiral Boutakoff, staff" and the "big guns" of our own navy, 1 with several specially ,f avor- rJ fefWr.C OT.- allr this epiead-M- T and w all the great enjoyments of I the Grand Luke s ball the persons present were indebted to the follow ing COMMITTEES: General Committee of Arrange ments.

The beauty and the chivalry of our land rapidly thronged the hall until, al most as "Thick as autumnal leaves, That strew the brooks in Vallambrosa," they filled the spacious apartment. Besides the stately matrcn and dashing 'gallant, were groups of bright-eyed daughters of the "Sun ny, South," i ' "Fresh as the foam new-bathed iu Papbaian 1 wells, " j i together with an agreeable propor tion of the " "Paler beauties of tbo North." The ball room was one vast par terre of rare exotics, whose . every floweret was a princess royal. There, there, and everywhere, glided creatures more fair than ever peopled the raptest dream of love from poet's brain. Laughing, chat ting, flirting, winding through un numbered labyrinthine mazes, were being mose radiantly bright and beaeon8 than the Houri of Mahem- etan Paradise. With tbe lights of the brilliant salon Playing soft on ipankled hair, Of queenly rich robed women, : All bright and debonair ; Where the flames of restless diamonds, In the radiant saffron light, - Flash out like fiery dragons, From the sable shroud of night. - There were fair blondina in blue, laughing divinities in satin and lace and roseate edgings; Rowenas in pure white, with locks of sheeny flaxen ; Evangelines with tresses "like imprisoned sunbeams:" dark' eyed,' languishing Virginias, whose every motion made the air seem fragrant and brilliant as the tropics; pale, pensive ladies "of Shalott," I who had nothing to sigh for oh earth that would not have bowed to their witchery. ' Here, came , noble, Juno-Iike creature) of most distin guished h me and mein; with a step like the- fawn s and the eyes of a gazelle: and 'there, in close dis tance, I ansels of hearts and of housholds" of ineffable beauty and description; 4las, j i air tresses, man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us by a single hair." Everybody; was in full party dress, and the effect was the ultima thule and ideal of fashion. ! y,.:-,:.
