Congress, is in a muddle at the other end of the avenue, in the endeavor to de? cide upon a method of adjournment. Everyone has decided for himself, that '.'the rump" is a dead letter, and cease to troop about the capital, with any further curiosity in the premises. Most of the Congressmen having fami? lies with them during the last session, have already departed, disgusted with the slow? coach proceedings relative to a retirement of " the faithful." There is quite a fever prevalent among the M. C's, as well as among the native Washingtonians, in reference to sailing for the Paris Exposition. About twenty-five representatives of " upper teudom," will sail about the middle of the corning month. Among the latter part}', will be Mrs. Sena? tor Sprague. The latter lady after a par; ticularly gratifying success in sustaining the role of leadership in all that has pertained to the jollification of the hean monde, du? ring the past season, intends joining a maiden sister, Miss Chase at Dresden, for the summer. Miss C., is said to have ex? hibited a marvellous gift for etching, and it is for the prosecution of this talent that :he Chief Justice has consented to her pro? tracted sojourn abroad. Senator Sprague does not intend leaving ;he country at this time. More's the pity, f'for no other reason than that the same .eckless bohemian who doubted the tran? quility of his domestic relations wher nadain was last abroad, will be sure to re ?ew his croaking upon this second putting isunder. " . . . xne whole inarriagable iemimnity oi Washington is on tip-toe at the prospect o! .arrying off a couple of attaches of thc French and Spanish legations respectively Both the happy fiancees are of domesth growth, and home production, which has th< ?ffect of redoubling the vigilance of tb ?ex, in the endeavor of consumating simila: anions. The fact that the foreign legation lave shown themselves from time to timi mlnerable in this particular, is occasioninj "he greatest demoralization among the capi tal lasses. Each ambitious duck of a crea ;ure, has conceived the idea of emulatinj :he stereotyped desire of the Committees 01 Foreign Relations, to cement our nations :ordiality for other races the world over, am io it turns out that the young adonis of th egation, though it may not be conceale bat he is indefinitely removed from the hei ipparently to the old country estate, i ?ought out and cuddled by mamas, into ove affair, and betrothal with one of th laughters of the District. And while un upon this subject, I mus* not forget 1 mention, that Senor ROMERO, the repr ?entative of that exceedingly dubious Rt public, Mexico, is just about wedding "tl lashing relict of a deceased army office rhe romantic decision at first adopted, delay-the joyful nuptials, until Preside! JUAREZ had succeeded in administerir the affairs of the Government from a cat bal less indefinite than at present, has be< abandoned, the present maturity of tl bride being manifestly, liable to, fade e auch a consumation. OLIVE LOGAN, the clever authoress ai actress, has been in town all the week wi a party of friends, who ran over from N< York to take a glimpse at the Congressic al hostilities. Among the party was Hf. JENNINGS, correspondent of the Lond Tim**, who is reported engaged to t former lady. : .

So far as she 1 appeared in those characters in Washil ton, they may be regarded as a tolera1 faithful copy of RISTORI in the same.rq The President has decided to issm pardon to General DICK TAYLOR, i will make the presentment upon the reti ofthat gentleman from New York, whit he has repaired for a few days. JEFFERSON DAVIS' release upon his c recognizance may be looked for within coming month. A few Congressional manitarians of the Radioal school, h awakened to the espousal of this ac righteousness, and are pressing the ma with considerable zeal. mue Presid still adheres to his original standing in premises, whereby he proposes to' sign order, provided Chief Justice CHASE be melted to the act of formally in don such procedure. Chief Justice CHJ since the New York Herald s late ?sa? onslaught upon him, and demand impeachment for non-eomplianc with law requiring him to afford a speedy impartial trial to the prisoner, is becon decidedly tractable on the subject, only craves a little breathing spell to cover how to lessen the responsibility such a move.

[FROM OUR EEOC LAE CORRESPONDENT. ] NEW YORK, March 29th, 1867.-The grand masked and fancy dress annual ball of the Purim Association came off last night at the Academy of Music, as had been duly announced in the papers here, and MOULTRIE attended as per promise in his letter of the 22d to the NEWS. AS I made my appearance at the ball (in the disguise of a bran new suit of clothes) at nine o'clock last night, and did not make my disappear? ance till the morn in rasset mantle clad walked o'er the dew, and so forth, and an? nounced that it was time to think of bid? ding the world good night, or rather good morning, and indulging in at least a modicum of tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep. My account of the gay festivities is given under the disadvantage of my being rather fatigued, not to say somnolent. However, as the affair was what is called in French un grand success, and is well worth describ? ing . although I u?ay say that in the flesh, I have just come from thc ball, in spirit I will enter it dc novo, accompanied by your read? ers-time, nine o'clock last night : Three-fourths of the parquette and the whole of the stage Js. . neatly boarded over, forming an immense ball-room thronged with the merry maskers, dressed in cos? tumes of every description, many of them superly elegant and some extremely onfre and pleasantly comic-the portion of the parquette what is not boarded over accom? modates such portion of the lovers of the dance as prefer to wait till after midnight, when it will be allowed them to "go upon the floor" unmasked and without costumes, to gether with general spectators who could not afford, to pay twenty dollars for a private box in the tier alone-in this tier are the hoy ari's toi, to whom money is no object, and who sip champagne as they look upon the kaleidascope scene below and wipe their lips with hanker chiefs that cost from one to five hundred dollars each. As it grows later the maskers increase in numbers, and many of the costumes are noted for their richness, a beautiful young daughter of Israel, gorgeously attired as an Indian girl, bearing the palm and winning the gold medal. None of the other cos? tumes deserve particular mention, except one which was extraordinarily comic, and I think that the Jewish portion of your readers will agree with me in considering in rather questionable taste. "What the Israelites call a SAFER, is a scroll on which is inscribed the law of MOSES. On the fes? tival of Purim a somewhat similar scroll, in which is written the Book of ESTHER, is read during the service in the Synagogue. This is called the MEGGILLAH, and this was the costume in which one of the gen? tlemen thought proper to appear. It was ^.uuuij a muon vu?w~- -n--?/*x?o peripatetic human SAFES dancing a quad? rille, flirting with the ladies, and, drollest af all, joining in the chorus of a hymn shanted at midnight, the words being sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle. A SAFER singing Yankee Doodle is about as strang? a mixture of the sublime and ridiculous as ian be well conceived. The handsomesl dressed lady on the floor was Mrs. -W: J FLORENCE, the comedienne, who was th? observed of all observers. The dress wai made in Paris, and is a heavy white re] silk, magnificently embroidered in blacl xnd gold, with pearl trimmings, and thi train (or trail) very long. Mrs. FLOHENCI wore a head dress of pearl and diamonds There was one lady present whose dres was much costlier", though not so neat am elegant as that of Mrs. F. The lad is Mrs. CROMLINE, wife of a wealth Jewish banker in Wall street, who ha failed in business an extraordinary numbe of times, but who seems to get along tolert bly well notwithstanding. Mrs. C. wore blue moire antique, with point lace an pearl trimmings, superb diamond orn? ments in her hair, with necklace, ear ring and bracelets, also of diamonds, ihe who! probably worth about fifty thousand dollar At midnight .when the dancers unmasl ed, the: scene which was dazzling befor became more dazzlingly brilliant, for whe the masks were thrown aside and the han some' faces of their lovely wearers, (I ' ( NOT refer to- the : males,) were . exposed view, as the dark flashing eyes of the hu dreds of Jewish maidens, shone with brightness that shamed the diamonds, ai put the gas jets to the blush. I could n but .-indulge in the philosophic reflectic that if nature has not been lavish m her '. vors to the sonB of the covenant, ehe h more than counterbalanced it by bestowi them most bounteously upon the daught* of Israel. And now the dance is renew* and the " Merry Purim j*f that flashes up the view in letters of fire, across the ste} is read again and again in the laughter lt ing eyes of. the lovely dancers, (not t men), and young men fall in love, who wi not in love before, and Chose who had fal in before, sink, deeper; and the eyes fli oa, and yoting men sigh, and old fo yawn, for it is. growing late, and the huuj go to the sapper room and eat, and . thirsty drink,- and it grows later still-H o'clock--two; three, tour, five. Musi* Home sweet home-a rush; fbr hate t cloaks, another .rash for (3arriages--end the Purim ba?l-rj-exeunt owwesr-ourtain The larger portion of those who atteni the ball, are no doubt still wrapped rn1' anns of.

"V A will case came before ono of courts here ? few days ago that terrain in a very cnriauS/mannerr-r-qne of the neeaea^^'&1?:^ tif sfete;'whW;.:the';j had died, and astonished the judge and jury by refusing to answer, wherefore he was committed for contempt. The next witness being interogatcd in like manner, astonished tho .fudge and jurymen still morie by replying that the man is not dead at all; the bag being thus opened, the feline quadruped was let ./ut by degrees, and it now stands confessed that a man named RAIN FORTH made a will in earnest, insured his life for 815,000, also in earnest, and then died in fun, some accommodating dead man being buried in his place ; thc man who endeavored to make a living by dying has thus failed signally, and the insurance office is fifteen thousand dollars better off in its accounts than it would have been, had thc live dead man gone to his account. A lady who had recently entered the holy bonds of matrimony, and was there? fore partial to thc united state bond, pa? ralysed her desires and stole some United States bonds, thinking that money would improve matrimony, especially as neither she nor her husband had any patrimony; but the scheme failed, for the woman fell into the hands of the lynx-eyed officers of | the law, and the bonds have fallen into the hands of Messrs. COLGATE & WAITE, from whom they had been stolen. HACKETT, the great Falstaff, intends to build a first-class theatre up town as soon as he can purchase a desirable site for thc new building. Everything is moving up- j ward, and in a few years hence the Fifth Avenue Hotel will be too far down town to be fashionable. New York"1ieeps growing ! MOULTRIE. CONGRESS. THURSDAY'S PROCEDINGS.

In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed lace, she had a soft ruby com? plexion of almost marble smoothness, and instead of tw nty-three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon in- I quiry as to the cause of so great a change, she plainly I told them that she used the CLUCAS IAN BALM, and | considered it an invaluable acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentlemen can improve their per? sonal appearance au hundred fold, lt ls simple in its I combination, as Nature herself is simple yet unsurpass? ed in its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also-heal- | lng, cleansing and beautifying the akin and oomplexion. By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from it aU its j impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur- ; face as Nature intended, it should bo-clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.
