Shakesperian strawberries initiated that she was
she. When she appeared, sensation was universal
the gentleman with the buff vest threw open his
coat to the extreme the gentleman in the 'blue"
and the bright buttons, buttoned his coat entirely
to the chin the gentleman who was to lean back
wards frequently, commenced fitting like a CAi-
nese mandarin the gentleman with the pork and
beans became voci ferrous for more beans while
those who hnd duck, &C., were equally clamorous
in complaining Of the undue fulhllment OF their
orders.
Never was there such IA clamor heard in that US
ually well-regulated upstairs saloon beforehand
by the by, never did it subside more suddenly than
when q new brush Of skirts was heard coming
W the stairs. All the Lotbarios were once more
in position, when lOl another Curdelie, in all re-
spects the reflex of the first, appeared, bearing the
film of straw berries as u challenge in her hand,
and swee ping with it, like a Juno, to q seat near
the location of the first, 1t is needless to say that
the sensation was now extreme. Some of the
gentlemen who were to part their hair in the mid
die began, however, to look less iuriously at other
gentlemen who had their hair parted in the same
way, as much as to say. well there is one for
each of us, anyhow J"
But most Of tho party seemed more troubled
than before. A pause of some minutes succe 'ded
before any new appearance" took place, during
which time tho LOtiNrios we're engaged in display
ing their points to the best advantage and some,
more ardent than the rest, pulled out the various
colored notes they had received, and either pre-
tended to read them, or laid them conspicuous on
the liable. There's one Of my fellows with the
blue note !" said MISERY No. !, over her spoonful

said Cordelia the second "he's got a pink note"
"Wh It DO you think Of Augustus. there. with the
pork and beans before him, who is SO pensi,ely
leaning his cheek upon his hand Z" said Myth the
frst-but before their answer could be given, APP
parations three and four appeared. and hard upon
their heels came FIVE and six. There was now
perfect CONSERVATION on the lower side of the up
stairs saloon Of the fashionable restaurant in Broad
way. The man on the tilt fell backwards, and was
Shot under the table there was u general feeling
after bats and gathering up of loose handkerchiefs
aud canes.
All at once, after one Of those short and sudden
panics which convey electric knowledge to the hu-
man mind, IL general stampede took place, aud
the whole party, with more or less dignity-ac-
cording to the natures and shapes they had been
put in-made for the stairs and decended out OF
sight. 1t was several minutes before they could
hand in their checks and pay the score, and dur
ing this time the mischevious bevy. with stIawbei-
ny. marked handkercbiefs, took full pay for their
trouble, in the hearty laugh they INDUCED in at
the ludicrous tableau and exodus they bad just be-
held on the part of gentlemen who were so SHARP
