Tas YACHTING SEASON.-What-bas -become of our yacht clubs/ Two. ox three years ago a number of public-spirited owners of fast crafts Inaugurated a movement which it waa hoped would give ns a- succession OP pleasant aquatic sports. To somo degree they were enjoyed. Several races took place, and even the young . oarsmen or the etty <-icght the spirit of the occa? sion and made thc l a: eryascene of busy life. "The time is again apon aching-when we may an? ticipate a re?u tren i? wf these pleasures,, and. we should like to seo some steps taken ror the re? organizationp- tae club. Our April breezes will soon be upba ns, and what more charming time 1sthere for an afternoon's sail, with canvas all set, than then ? OUR SALT-WATER LAKES.-in important sale of lands, in which the city authorities as well as the citizens of the western portion ol P -Charleston should be Interested, ls announced tb take place to-day. We refer ' to the water lots belonging to the estate or the late Governor Ben nett, situated lu the immediate vicinity or Rut? ledge and Calhoun streets, and embracing the lots from which the city tidal drains draw water. Should the salt-water ponds pass into the bands of private persons, they will soon be converted into mud heaps as unsightly as they win be un? healthy. The city, on the other hand, could buy these ponds for a small sum, and, by repairing the floodgates, keep them always filled with water. This would materially add tp the value of property in the vicinity, while to aUow them to pass Into the possession of third parties wlU seriously injure both the salubrity and good looks of the neighborhood. Unless the city takes them now, the authorities may have to boy these ponds, ?few months later, from some Land Ring, at four or five times their value. \ r ? REGULAR M:? ET?N& COUNCIL.

We .are .Indebted to the Deutsche ZeilutJg for a programme or the festivities which take' place to-day, when oar German fellow-citizens, tn glad? ness and mirth, celebrate tbe return of peace to belo ve J Fatherland. Trams will leave the South Carolina Railroad Depot at 12.50 and 1.30 In the afternoon for the Schutzenplatz, to which place every German citi? zen i3 Invited. It is expected that the Germana will close their stores at midday, and engage In a general migration to the Platz, with their wives and children. The festivities will be opened be? tween 1 and 2 o'clock, P. M., with a salnto of one hundred guns, which will be followed br music by the band. The president of the Schutzenge* selschait, Captain A. Melchers, will then deliver an address of welcome, after which the fine cho? rus of tme Brnderllclwrbund will slug "Was 1st des Deutschen Vaterland."

The festival ls .peculiarly a Gsr-oun rejoicing, a*^d all Germans are requested to display the Ger? man'flag during- the day. THE PURIM MASQUE BALL. A Brilliant and Beautiful Entertain, ment. li ever an^apparently /Superhuman task- is imposed oar tn* pen of.'n journalist^lt Ja when, after circulating brain-bewildered in that semi terrestrial, seml-ctlestial atmosphere yclept aj>al ma'sque, he attempti. within the four walls of an Ink-bespattered sanctum, to perpetuate the mu? ston that he ls still in fairyland. With a chaos of sparkling eyes' and pretty speeches in his head, and a tendon Acfittlts at the other end of his cor? porally yet quivering with the echoes of the dance, the process of collecting thc tangled threads of fact and fancy, and weaving them into a satisfactory bed quilt, with which to cover ids hundred thousand readers, 'Is.a good deal like making rove to a pretty gm orr each side. He don't know precisely where to begin. That the ball at the Academy or Music last night was a grand, glittering, radiant jubilee-a species or carnival In miniature-will be attested by as large and happy a throng pr revellers as ever kept.timexo the melody of a polka, redowa or quadrille. That lt .was a pecuniary success or the first rank, equal at lea3t to that or any prece? ding Purim festival In our city, is also a matter beyond doubt. "Purim," by the way, we may Stale for the benefit of the uninformed, is the name of a .festival among the Jews, In which they commemorate their deliverance from the wiles and-strategems ss recordedlo the book of Esther. The observance oj" this festival has been religiously maintained by all the Hebrew race rrom Its institution down to the' present time, although there la generally more of -merriment and hilarious rejoicing than of sanctity about the holiday. In the large cities of the North the event ls always marked by magnificent balla, In Which the display of wealth, dress and beauty can scarcely be said to be rivalled. Here, too, the preparations are on a corresponding scale, and, for days before the event, the expectant fair sex live in a wilderness of fabrics,.colors, and qnalnt designs. How they took shape last night In toi? lettes, some of which made men's hearts ache, can only be known to those who, being present, looked on the ever-changing spectacle, felt the pulses of beating hearts, and were touched by the magnetism of speaking eyes, "whose every lash was a lance, and every glance an arrow" eyes doubly dangerous, because they fired snap? shots fr.im behind masked entrenchments. By eleven o'clock* the ball was at its height, and the vast throng undulating to the music of the fine band tn the gai ery looked rrom that point as ir rue Inhabitants or some fairyland bad bor? rowed all the'hues or rainbow and aurora borealis to visit Mother Earth and hold a saturnalia of run and flirtation. With but little elasticity or ima? gination, you might have recognized the repre? sentatives or every age, clime, temperature, zone and aation. There were princesses, postillions and Paul Prys; clowns and courtiers; angels and ambassadors; gypsies and grotesques orno name; queens or night, queens qr morning; the last roses or summer; indi -ne, Irishmen, Highland erf, Ethiopians, first-rate copies of old-fashioned portraits; historical characters, dramatic charac? ters, and people known In literature..as Miss Sllmmlns, Widow Bedott, Bob Swlveller's March? ioness, and Salrey Gamp. All these and a hun? dred more-mixed, muddled, heterogeneously conglomerated, always on tbe move, ever chang? ing like the figures In a kaleidoscope-constituted a spectacle that no camera, could catch, and no crowd of paint pots could imitate. There were queer adventures, too. Men fell in love, and it was painful to see them fall out again, when they discovered after unmasking that they h id been avowlng the grande passion to their own wives. One young ? fellow ls said to Save flirted all tbe evening.with his own. mother, and tore bis hair when another cavalier-with a handsomer mask "cut him out." Altogether, 'the circumstances were what Mark Tapley would describe as partie, ularly "Jolly." The supper was an excellent and timely Institu? tion, presided over by. Tully, who never seems happier than when the chorus of knives and forks ls at Its height lu pxy lng tribute to 'hla culinary akin. Thechier expectation o' the evening waa, of' course, the distribution or prizes announced and described In Tar Niws ef yesterday. This took place ab mt hair-past ll o'clock, -under the auspi? ces or three gentlemen selected to act as the judges of toilette and the Impersonation 'of character. A procession was formed at that time consisting of two hundred couples, more or lesa-one gets dazed in counting-and after perambulating to march music for a short time, halt was ordered, and Mr. Goldsmith, one or the Judges, announced that the prizes were distri? buted as follows: The first prize to the ladles for the handsomest drets, to Miss F. Goldsmith.. It would take one of Jennie June's letters to give all the particulars of the attire, and we therefore omit lt; but lt was very handsome. The second prize, for the best impersonation of character by a lady, was awarded to Misa H. Hoffman, and none more deserved it. The lady assumed tbe part of an Irish washerwoman, and she lacked nothing bu: the practical soap suds to ra?ke one believe she was born on a bog. The first prise to the gentlemen was awarded to Mr. J. H. Hart, who assumed the character of Don Cccsar de Kazan, and the second prize was given to Mr. s. E. Loeb for matting the company believe he wi3 a veritable Bob Nettles. The character was admirably represented, and Bob himself bad he been present, would have recognized a twin. Among other excellent personifications which may be named, waa a Greek, armed' cap a pi? ; a knight of the olden time; a man of cards, who looked from crown to sole as If he might have been high, low, Jack and several games. He was 1 tolerably well stocked." Another gentleman represented to perfection an exquisite of the Lord Dundreary style; but the cap sheaf or all the de? ceptions or the evening was the personification of a fashionable woman of the period, by Mr. E. E. Abrahams. Dressed lu the most killing style of reraale art, his Grecian bend merged Into that' jerky suaviter in modo, which not only turned the heads or score or love-sick swains, but until masks were removed, made every one curiously ask, "Who is she ?" The dropping or the veil led to many a curions cor ;?; temps, and not a few retired to their chambers near daylight, to dream ot mysterious partners aid angels lu disguise. Finally, the Purim was the success or the season. BILL HEADS printed on line paper at 13, $4, $6, $6 50 and $8 50 per thousand, according to size, at THE NBWS Job Office. "TH? ACAD?IT OF Mr/sic-Notwithstanding the attractions elsewhere, the Chapman' Sisters drew a well filled house last nl-jht, and amply re? warded their audience. Little Jack Sheppard was presented, and we venture to say that Blanche, Elin or Bishop' never received more honest trib? ute of praise than were bestowed during the evening. The builesque is full of good th lugs, which, with Its impossible situations, kept the au? dience In a roar. The performance to-night will be the Merchant of Venice, and a farce. We take lt for granted that a large audiehco wilt at? tend; for la this of all other ?mea the public want merriment " TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. At a meeting of the Clariosophic Society, held at the tniversivy of Sooth Carolina,. Februa? ry 25, the chairman o?:the committee appointed to" draft resolutions of respect to the memory or M. LaBorde, Jr., made the following report: Since the last meeting of our society, our es? teemed fellowmember, Maximilian LaBorde, Jr., has in the morning of life, and with a bright career or usefulness and honer opening before him, suddenly b?en removed by death rrom our midst. ? As a student he enjoyed the highest esteem or his professors, as well as or his fellow-students, who, In his"deathT moora the loss or a sincere and devoted mend. Of a disposition kind, frank, courteous and obliging*, and generous to "a fault, he could not fail to command the respect and love or all lils associates. As Clarlosophlcs, lt bas been eur pleasure to know him as one or tire most energetic and efficient members .of our society-as one whose highest aim lt was to pro? mote her Interests, and maintain her honor and dignity. ? . It has seemed fit in the sight of the Divine Au? thor of our being to remove our brother from this transitory state of mingled joy and sorrow to a state of perfect and enduring, happiness beyond the grave. There but remains to ns the melan? choly, yet pleasant duty, while submitting la humble faith to the-sovereign will of Almighty God, to offer a last simple tribute to his memory; be it, therefore, ' y . ? ' - Resolved, That by the" death of Maximilian La Borde, Jr., this society has lon an efficient and respected member, whose untimely and unex? pected death bas left a void In our number that will be long rind sadly reit. Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved faml ly our heartfelt sympathy in their sad affliction, trusting that He who .hath afflicted may bestow that consolation therworld can never give. Resolved, That hie name be Inscribed upon a blank page of our minute book: that the hall be draped and the members of the society wear the usual badtte of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That thls-preamble and resolutions be published in the Dad? Phoenix and THE CHARLES? TON- DM?Y*NBW3, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased. Re?pectrully submitted. . J. A.
