Taz Opp Fettows’ Levee.—Dear reader, have you secured a ticket for the levee to- night at Odd Fellows’ Hall? If you have not, you are neglecting both a duty and a plea:- ure. Remember that a ticket (price one dol- iar) admits a gentleman and ladies, and that ticket, when acquired, admits you to un- imited enjoyment from 8 o’elock p. m., until “daylight doth appear,”’ or until such time as you are obliged to tear yourself away. The arrangements for a superb entertainment now perfected, the day is auspicious, the kies are bright, and our affectionate advice to one and all is, togo in and have a good time.

There is nothing like timidity in her looks, only the discompure mingled with defianc: which gleams in the eye of a panther. The appearance of a maniac which, to our glance, she wore when we entered her apartment, gradually pagsed away, and there was a softer expression, and something like a goutle glow pf intelligence in her still vivid eye. Be- coming more composed, she sat down, and her nurse, at our request, brushed back the tan- gc of her hair, showing her cheeks and fore- ead. These wore fair. The cheek was thin but its outlines quite womanly, and her brow and temples show intellectuality of no mean or common order. Whatever she is or may have been, she was by nature gifted with capacities for higher intelligence. —Cincinnati Com- mercial Nien?
