Our Washington Letter. [SPECIAL OOEBESPO NDENOE OF THE DAILY NEWS ] WASHINGTON, Mardi 28. DOINGS IN TOWN. 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 tendom," will sail about the middle of the coming month. Among the latter party, 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 beau 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 the Chief Justice has consented to her pro? tracted sojourn abroad. Senator Sprague does not intend leaving the country at this time. More's the pity, if : fdr no other reason than that the same reckless bohemian who doubted the tran? quility of his domestic relations when madam was last abroad, will be sure to re? new his croaking upon this second putting asunder. *The; whole marriagable. femininity of Washington is on tip-toe at the prospect of carrying off a couple of attaches of the French ;and Spanish legations respectively. Both the happy fiancees are of domestic growth, and home production, which has the effect of redoubling the vigilance of the sex, in the endeavor of consumating similar unions. The fact that the foreign legations have shown themselves from time to time vulnerable in this particular, is occasioning the greatest demoralization among the capi* tal lasses. Each ambitious duck of a crea? ture, has conceived ine idea of emulating the stereotyped desire of the Committees on Foreign Relations, to cement our national cordiality for other races the world over, and so it turns out that the young adonis of the legation, though it may not be concealed that he is indefinitely removed from the heir apparently to the old country estate, is sought out and cuddled by mamas, into a love affair, and betrothal with one of the j daughters of the District. And while I am upon thisjsubject, I must not forget to mention, thav^Senor ROMERO, the repre? sentative of that exceedingly dubious Re? public, Mexico, is just about wedding the dashing relict of a deceased army ufficer. The romantic decision at first adopted, to delay the joyful nuptials, until President JUAREZ had suoceeded in administering the affairs of the Government from a capi? tal less indefinite than at present, has been abandoned, the present maturity of the bride being mar/featly liable to fade ere such a cousumation. OLIVE LOGAN; tho clever authoress and actress, has been in town all the week with a party of friends, who ran over from New York to take a glimpse at the Congression? al hostilities. Among the party was Mr. JENNINGS, correspondent of the London Times, who is reported engaged to the former lady. Mrs. LANDER, nee JEAN MARIE DAV? ENPORT, has esconced herself in the capi? tal preparatory to a professional tour throughout the States, She is at present engaged in perfecting her assumption of Medea and Elizabeth. So far as she has appeared in those characters in Washing-1 ton, they may be regarded as a tolerably faithful copy of RISTORI in the same roles. The President has decided to issue a pardon to General DICK TAYLOR, and will make the presentment upon the return ofthat gentleman from New York, whither he has repaired for a few days. JEFFERSON DAVIS' release upon his own recognizance may be looked for within the coming month. A few Congressional hu? manitarians of the Radical school have ? wakened to the espousal of this act of righteousness, and are pressing the matter with considerable zeal. The President still adheres to his original standing in the premises, whereby he proposes to sign the order, provided Chief Justice CHASE can be melted to the act of formally indorsing such procedure. Chief Justice CHASE, siuce the New York Herald's late savage onslaught upon him, and demand for impeachment for non-compliance with the law requiring him to afford a speedy and impartial trial tc? the prisoner, is becoming decidedly tractable on the subject, and only craves a little breathing spell to dis? cover how to lessen the responsibility of such a move. Inasmuch as the Chief Justice is an avowed candidate foi' the Presidential succession in 1869, due allow? ance must be made for his cautionary de? liberations. Chief Justice CHASE has under conside? ration the feasibility of establishing among the forthcoming rules in Bankruptcy cases, the privilege of allowing sales of planta? tions, who may take the benefit of the act in small parcels in order to enable men of small means to become purchasers, which they could not do in case large plantations should be sold undivided, as seems to be contemplated by the present phraseology of the law. VIDEX. Our New York Letter. [FROH ODE BEG?TAB 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 russet 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 j 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, j as the affair was what is called in drench un grand success, and is well worth describ? ing ; although I may say that in the flesh, I have just come from the ball, in spirit I will I enter it de novo, accompanied by your read? ers-time, nine o'clock last night : Three-fourths of the parquette and the whole of the stage is neatly boarded over, i 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 outre 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" I 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 aris toi, to whom money is no object, and who sip champagne as they look upon the kaleidascope scene below and wipe their lips with hankerchiefs that cost from one to five hundred dollars each. As it grows toter 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- randal. None of the; other cos? tumes deserve particular mentioc, except one which wos 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 SAPEE, 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 thc gen? tlemen thought proper to appear. It was certainly a most curious sight to note this peripatetic human SAFER dancing a quad? rille, flirting with the ladies, and, drollest of all, joining in the chorus of'a hymn chanted at midnight, the words being sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle. A SAFER singing Yankee Doodle is about as strange a mixture of the sublime and ridiculous as can be well conceived. The Jbandsomest dressed lady on the floor was Mrs. W. J. FLORENCE, the comedienne, who was the observed of all observers. The dress was made in Paris, and is a heavy white rep silk, magnificently embroidered in black and gold, with pearl trimmings, and the train (or trail) very long. Mrs. FLORENCE wore a head dress of pearl and diamonds. There was one lady present whose dress was much costlier, though not so neat and elegant as that of Mrs. F. The lady is Mrs. CROMLINE, wife of a wealthy Jewish banker in Wall street, who has failed in business an extraordinary number of times, but who seems to get along tolera? bly well notwithstanding. Mrs. C. wore a blue moire antique, wjth point lace and pearl trimmings, superb diamond orna? ment in her hair, with necklace, ear rings, and bracelets, also of diamonds, the whole probably worth about fifty thousand dollars. At midnight when the dancers unmask? ed, the scene which was dazzling befure, became more dazzlingly brilliant, for when the masks were thrown, aside and tjie hand? some faces of their lovely wearers, (I do NOT refer to the maleB,) were exposed to view, as the dark flashing eyes of the hun? dreds of Jewish maidens, shone with a brightness that shamed the diamonds, and put the gas jets to the blush. I could not but indulge in the philosophic reflection, that if nature has not been lavish in her fa? vors to the sons of the covenant, she has more than counterbalanced it by bestowing them most bounteously upon the daughters of Israel. And now the dance is renewed, and the c; Merry Purim " that flashes upon the view in letters of fire, across the stage, is read again and again in the laughter lov iug eyes of the lovely dancers, (not the men), and young men fall in love, who were not in love before, and those who had fallen in before, sink deeper, and the eyes flash on, and young men sigh, and old folks yawn, for it isf growing late, and the hungry go to the supper room and eat, and the thirsty drink, and it grows later still-one o'clock-two, three, tour, five. Music Home sweet home-a rush for hats and cloaks, another rush for carriages-end of the Purim ball-exeunt omnes-curtain. The larger portion of those who attended the ball, ave no doubt still wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, while Moultrie, tired and sleepy, is endeavoring, or rather has just endeavored, and perhaps failed, to give a description of what he saw. I beg your readers to pass over any imperfections in my letter, on the ground of said fatigue and somnolence, and I promise them that the next time I at? tend a ball for the purpose of describing it in the NEWS, I will make it a point to leave earlier and endeavor to get more ideas by getting more sleep. A will case came before one of the courts here a few days ago that terminated in a very curious manner-one of the wit? nesses was asked to state when the man hud died, and astonished the judge jury by refusing to answer, wherefore was committed for contempt. The E witness being interogated in'like mani astonished the Judge and jurymen i more by replying that the man is not d at all; the bag being thus opened, the fe] quadruped was let out by degrees, and now stands confessed that a man nar RAINPORTH made a will in earnest, insu his life for ?15,000, also in earnest, j then died in fun, some accommodating di man beingburied in his place ; the man v endeavored lo make a living by dying '. thus failed, signally, and the insurance of is fifteen thousand dollars better. off in accounts than it would have been, had i live dead man gone to his account. A lady who had recently entered 1 holy bonds of matrimony, and was the fore partial to the united state bond, p ralysed her desires and stole some Unii States bonds, thinking that money wo? improve .matrimony,, especially as neitl she nor her husband had- any patrimoi but the scheme failed, for the woman i into the hands of the lynx-eyed officers the law, and the bonds have fallen into i hands of Messrs. COLGATE & WAITE, fri whom they had been stolen. HACKETT, the great Falstaff, intends build a first-class theatre Up town as so as he can purchase a desirable site for t new building..

In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she bad a soft ruby com? plexion of almost marble smoothness, and instead of tw n ty-three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon in? quiry as to the cause of so great a change, she plainly told them that she used the CERCAS 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 an hundred fold. It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself ls simple yet unsurpass? ed in its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also heal? ing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion. By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from it all Its impurities, kindly bealing the same, and leaving the sur? face as Nature intended it Bhould be-clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.
