The ST.. PATR1cK's SUPPER.-The supper
given by the "Sons and Daughters of ERIK"
on Thursday evening, at Concert Hall, in aid
of the new seminary for the Sisters of Chair
ty, was probably more largely attended than
any gathering of the same kind this winter
The spacious room was densely thronged, in
fact, so much so, that to move about anywhere
was almost impossible The Erin-ers-to coin
an expression-were in high spirits at their
success, and every body, in fact, seemed to
enjoy the Festival. Numerous were the pref
ty, rosy checked, bright-eyed, hearty-looking
Irish lasses, proverbial the world over for their
good spirits and hilarity as many of the
guests brought ladies with them, quite large
proportion of the throng present were of the
"fair SEX" The City Guards attended in
full uniform.
But one thing must have amused the few
disnterested "Lookers-on in Venice "-(of
course the reportorial gentry come under this
category and that was, to see such shoals
of one-horse" politicians, aspirants for two
cent places, hackneyed treasury-eaters, &C.,
snuffing around for little popularity, and
spreading themselves prodigiously before TOUR
Irish fellow-citizens," doing the agreeable gen.
orally, &c. We say amusing-for it really
was so, and of course the empty professions of
interest, and that same old thread-bare pala-
vering was readily seen through by every hon
est son of ST. Patrick present. They ought
to repudiate such things as stigma on their
intelligence, as not being able to see through
such palpable make-believe. But of course,
though they must have despised the hollow
trick, they had too much politeness to give the
cold shoulder to their betrayers, and endea-
voured to make all, interested or disinterest-
ed, equally welcome.
We got taken in on this score once during
the evening. Punched friend on the ribs,
and called his attention to the disgusting scenes
going on, making some not very complimenta-
~ remarks about the seedy pot-house polit-
clans, and needy aspirants, &C., who were
around fishing" for patronage. The gent
looked indignant, scowled quite black, and
moved off without reply. Couldn't under
stand it until another acquaintance stepped up
to say, chow is making himself agreea-
ble-fshing for Office, don't you see?" We
kept mum after that, as we didn't want to Of
fend any one else.
But if some came for such purposes, many
come to look in, knowing the proceeds were
to be devoted to good purpose. The ladies
had also manufactured lot of fancy and use
full articles, which were put up by lottery
1--WE beg to add hint here-why didn't some
of the fair ones who tended table canvass for
buyers? One can easily bluff off man, but
who could refuse to buy chance in "such a
nice quilt" or whatever it might be, when So
licited by bright-eyed damsel? Even pov-
erty-eaten Local might invest under such cir
cumstances.
But it went off nice. The music was good,
the supper liberal, and the after entertainment
enjoyed by everybody.
After all had satisfied themselves at the
supper table, the regular toasts of the eve
ming were brought on. Capt. O'Gorman pre-
sided.
