It is a very large being perhaps 40 by 90 feet, and \\M fixed up with a neatness and taste which speaks woll for those who had the decorations in charge. The floor was wax ed and just in the proper condition to ‘ cut the pigeon wing." The mottoes which were hung on the wall Were very apropos, and especially was the large lettering in which was the name of the club and the date of organization, handsomely executed. We could go on in this describing strain but the exercises are .about to first in order is the president's address. The accomplished President, Mr. Simon Kngel, then arose and delivered, in fine and eloquent style, the following address : Ladies and Gents. Fellow-Oeficers and Members of tiif. Harmonie Verein : On rising to address you this evening I hope you will not think it vanity on my part, in saying that 1 am proud of doing so as Pres dent of the first and only Ger man literary and social organization ever formed in this city. Upon an occasionTike this it is but meet that the presiding officer should make an inaugural address, but not being a profes sional speaker. 1 hope you will bear with me if as I feel i should fall far short of the mark in delivering such an address as you are entitled to thin evening. Eloquence is not a gift of mine but the best I can do shall be at your service. There is nothing more beneficial to the human family than social intercourse blen ded with.literary pursuits. Such ladies and gents is the object of our society. Scarcely six weeks have elapsed since the project to form this association was put in motion. How well we have succeeded, your pres ence here to night attest. ’Tis true our members are few, but I trust and am sat isfied in saying that the material of which they are composed, though small it be, will prove as good in the future as it has done in the past, and is doing at present, It shall be my aim as President of this body to further to the best of my ability its ob jects and principles of organization, that of literature and sociability, in which I have not a doubt I will be ably assisted in and co-operated with by you, my fellow officers and members, to the full extent of your powers. Let the name of our society be the insignia of our actions, let our watch word be harmony so that the ship which we have launched upon the troubled waters may make a safe and successful voyage. Ladies and gents, guests of ours, I bid you welcome, thrice welcome, to our social circle. Let me express the hope that this may be the inaugural only of a continued series of your valued visits to our estab lishments. In conclusion I trust you will pardon me for taxing your patience so long in listening to my remarks, and accent my thanks for your kind attention to thesaine. At the conclusion of Mr. Engel's ad dress. a quartette composed of Messrs. Ul mer, Deitch, Rosenfeld and Obermayer, sting a welcome glee ; after which an orig inal essay was read by MR. I. M. ROSENFELD. the Vice President of the club. JT Mr. R's essay was well gotten up and splendidly delivered, while the subject was very aptly chosen—that of charity. Next came the song by the club of “ The Watch on the Rhine," at the conclusion of which MR. HENRY ROTIIE read a splendid essay on the subject of Lit erature. Mr. Rothe’s composition was good, his ideas pointed aud yet elaborate. He was loudly cheered. Next came an original comic song by MR. I. KOIIN, which, for the genuine amusement it af forded the spectators, could not have been improved upon. Just at this poiut, the following telegram was received and read by PreskVnt Engel: Thomasville, Ga.. Nov. 90. 1872. Simon Engel. Pres Harmonie Yefein : Unable to be present at your inaugura tion, we send you our best wishes for the future of your organization, hoping that harmony will always reign supreme and excelsior be your motto. M. Deitsh, See'y, German Reading rlub. Everything was now placed in readiness, aud THE BALL commenced. The music was simply splen did. We never heard a better band in a ball room. It was an Italian band from Savannah. While the music was going on. ye reporter was eagerly scanning the ladies dresses, and we must say we never in all our lite saw more neat and hand somely dressed ladies. . Ihe exhibit of neat and tasty dressing would have did I credit to one of the salons of Paris. We have only one little word of complaint to make, and we hope our lady friends will pardon us for stating it here. We must. , in the name of all that’s good and bad. en -1 ter a demurrer against the prevailing fash ion of wearing long trails to a ball room. Ii dose nt matter how careful and attentive a man may be. he will sometimes find him self dangling upon a lady s dress, and then, if the laws of politeness forbids it being spoken, it is very loudly thought, "oh you awkward fellow!" while the poor slave in pants is gritting his teeth and vowing eternal and everlasting hostility to long trails. Again, we say. young ladies when you go to balls leave the five or six yards of your dress which sweeps the floor, leave it at home. We want it understood that we are not saying this for our own benefit, and as an apology for ou* awk wardness. because we don't think we got trailed more than about thirteen times at the late ball. THE DANCING was kept up until about half past one o’clock, When t gUeSt * '*** * de^rt ’ , and soon/ ~ . „ , jt some ‘banquet hall deserted.” r p entertainment was a complete suc j, 3, and we are sorry we have not space io devote to a further description of it. The committee did their whole duty, and everything went off in the most orderly style, in fact, we have never seen anything gotten up iu Bainbri >ge that could favor ably compare with the grand ball of the harmonie verein Long may itjwaive. City Telegrams. The hens in this section won't lay, even at 35 cents per dozen. There is a rivalry between our street lamps and the moon. The latter has the best of it so far. There is an old lady in this city who gives her ideas of a great man as follows : One who "is keerful of his clothes, don't drink sperets. ken read the Bible without spelling the words, andjeat a cold dinner on wash-day without grumbling.” Blossom savs the reason why he didn't dance at the ball was because they had the floor so badly greased.
