We are not able to present a complete bill
Of fare as the reporters were not allowed
seats at the first table, but the above VIII
give a skeleton idea of what good things
might have been found at this the great
est of all entertainments. Suffice it to say,
the cuisine was admirably arranged, while
the artificial aroma that filed the room,
like the inspiring incense that is said to
surround the dreamy traveller in the land OF
6 Araby the blest," was nearly overcoming
in its effects. The cloth beng removed, the
table was prepared for the main business Of
the evening speeches, toasts, etc. After
the proper introduction Of the various kinds
of liquids, always excusable on such An oc-
casion, there was svnced marked laxity
of the dignity and decorum which had pre-
vailed while partaking of the more solid
parts of the festival. The Presiding GENT
us of the Feast, and Chief Marshal of the
occasion, hoped upon one end of the'table,
and, screwing his comical phiz into the
shape of half-sucked lemon, put the ball
, in motion as follows:
Gentle men There's no use talking
Billy's some-you can bet your ribs on that.
Here the speaker put his hand over his
mouth, looked smart, and sniggered.] They
all thought they hid Billy where Barney
. had the Shanghai's-but they were sucked.
, Another Singer from the same source. l.
They'll be apt to know who they are fooling
with next time. Pm sound-I am. An
other Singer. But, Gentlemen, this old
rye is getting tired waiting for us-I feel it
in my bones-and by way of start offer
the following sentimental toast:
Our Important Guest-Born near an
brought up among wild-cats-he's about as
sharp as they get 'em up. An avalanche
among indians, boss in Congress, and HI
on Abolitionists and Know Nothings-;f he
can't bring the Spaniels to law there's no
use in talking. Air-Sancho Panza up a
Bean Pole, by the Wagontail band.
This palpable and happy hit elected a
universal call for the illustriou Plenipoten-
! tary, who s'rose solemnly," and after un.
furing his vest, and settling himself fairly
upon his launches, his chest thrown forward
. End the principal weight of his dignity
resting upon the balls of his two fore fee t
q proceeded to develope himself as follows
