The ball glvon last Monday ovening by tho Mystic Club at Pope's Hall was one of tho most pleasant affairs of the winter. The large hall was filled with festive dancers, the music en livcninir, and the hours flew rapidly and speedilv away. The supper, served at the CI ill Iiouse, was a sumptuous one, and prepared after the fetylo we all appreciate. We would be very happj' to mention the names of tho participants, and to describe the elegant and tasteful toilets worn by the ladies ; but there were such a multitude of them that ye do not remember one half the names, and we are not sutliciently ac complished to attempt a description of the toilets of tho fair ones. The guests were more than pleased, and continued to step to tho music of the merry dance until tho morning hours were close at hand. The ball was a perfect success, financially and otherwise.

The unusual surrender by preme court of England of the sn criminal jurisdiction over the adjacent waters to the distance of three miles from the coast excites much comment in law cir- cles throughout the kingdom. A Ger- . man sea captain, Iveyn, carelessly run down an English vessel within two miles of Dover pier causing much loss of life. He was tried for homicide, but his counsel denied the jurisdiction of the court, and, on an appeal to tho full bench of 11 judges, seven denied juris diction and six affirmed it, there being one vacancy. A decision made by such a narrow vote is naturally receiv ed with a good deal of distrust. The position of tho beuch seems to be that Parliament has never asserted jurisdic diction beyond low-water mark, though some of the precedents cited showed that it had tacitly assumed such juris diction. Tho practical inconvience of a doctrine which would place it in any body's power to row out a few yards from shore and commit any crime defi ant of territorial authority will probab ly indnco Parliament to assert in terms a jurisdiction whicli international law has conceeded to all powers.

I had pro fuse night sweats, and severe pain in my side. I continued in this state lor mont hs. and became so week that It was with great difliculty I could walk, when I was adised to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and to my great loy I soon found that thisremedy has arressted the disease.
