It was an educated snub, and will doubtless dampen the or= der of those who imagine that true social happiness can only be found by associating with cheap white people decendants of pork butch- ers, plnmmers and coatchmen. It was a mistake for Miss Pinchback to have gone on the Ball room floor on that occasion. The mortifi- cation and chagrin which the ac- tion of ber cousins produced upon her must have been anything but pleasant. We hope the young lady will in the future confine herself within the limits of the best society of her own race, where she will shine with equal,if not greater splendor as a queen among queens.
