Prince Napoleon-Over Crowded Entertain
ment in his Antiqe villa.

A late Paris letter-writer saysof this event:
The most talked of entertainment of the last
week of the carnival is the antique fete"
given by Prince Napoleon, in his Pompean
Villa in the Champs Elysees. Ex-King Je-
rome's stout son has, as is tolerably we'll
known, uilthimselfa queerkind of residence,
an imitation of one of these uncomfortable
places dug out of the mud of the two famous
old Roman towns, on a small plot of ground
in the Avenue Montaigne, near the Rue du
Faubourg st. Honore. Londoners who have
seen copy of these classic dens under the
great Sydenham cucumber frame, may form
an idea of how we'll fitted they are for the re-
ception of large company. To squeeze by
any conceivable process a hundred human
beings into any of the rooms, seems sheer inn
possibility, and yet, wonderful to relate. Je-
rome's fat son achieved this feat, and even
did more. He issued no less than three
hundred invitations for his antique fete in
honor of the anniversary of his marriage with
Princess Clotilde, including in their list their
imperial majesty the Emperor and Empress.
The arrangements, no doubt, are very un-
comfortable to all the three hundred visitors,
but then the consolation is that they are very
classic-cassic even unto the head-dress of
the mistress of the house, on whose head is
reposing tiara, said to have been made after
the model of that of Queen Cleopatra. The
theater over, dancing began; but long before
the termination of the first quadrille more
than one-half of the guests were found to have
disappeared from the Pompeian Villa. They
all of them, it was whispered afterward had
expressed their opinion to each other that,
though the entertainment was, no doubt,
strictly antique, il was, nevertheless, slightly
too dull, shade too pedantic, and few de-
grees too full of Napoleonic adulation, even
considering the place of performance.

From Washington.


WASHINGTON, March 26.-Negotiations in
regard to the San Juan affair are progressing
slowly. The proposition recently submitted
to our Government by Great Britain, upon a
basis which she thought would be acceptable
to the United States, by yielding our rights
to the Islands and fixing the boundary as to
include other portions of Her Msjesty's terri
tory, which we do not claim, but which arc
worthless, was replied to and positively de-
clined.
Mr.. Branch will oppose the organization Of
new territories and move an amendment to
the Utah bill, giving the President of the
United States power to appoint Territorial
Legislatures as the custom prior to 1896.
This will cut up all the difficulties by the root
if the new Territories should be organized.
Elections for delegates will be ordered; del
egates elected prior to the existence of the
Territories could not claim seats in the Con-
nreSS

Defense Of Irving from Thnckcray's In
tended EulOGy.


tended EulOgy.
The Boston Transcript of late date OBJ
serves;
The NJ Ms Bonam article in the CornhiV
Mugdzine seeItis to lis to have tinwarrantaby
tickled the Aniericaf-Anglo susceptibilites
still so pervasive on this side of the water.
One would think, TO note the editorial
cracking over this "hrst-rate notice" of our
endeared pioneer author that hasty line
from a London satirist outweighed, in moral
worth and critical insight, all his countrymen
have said, thought andwritten on the subject
whereas, kindly as Thackeray's tribute Is, in
spirit, and we'll intended as il undoubtedly
was-to those who intimately knew and
truly loved Washington Irving, there is much
to offend the taste and mislead the novice in
this much-commended article. 1t gives one
unacquainted with Irving quite Il false idea
of the man; IL represents his way of living in
a light not at all correct. The idea conveyed
is, that the author of the Sketch Book was
an easy, simple, amiable old fellow, who
scrimped himself with one lazy old horse and
a single glass of wine per diem, for the sake of
saving up pennies for lis nine nieces. Now
there was not particle of namby-pamby
benevolence about Washington Irving. He
always lived like agentleman, and had every
thing respectable, If not Handsome" about
uc uOlSth, Ut lCuStt anu lOuT
carriages, and, though he never made any
parade or display, yet he prided himself on
having everything quietly comfortable about
him.
Moreover, there is an indirect reflection on
the family in the insinuation that Irving
practiced painful degree Of selfdenial for
their sakes-which all familiar with the facts
know to be utterly at variance with the truth.
IL is also untrue that his residence was al
ways described in exaggerated terms by his
partial countrymen, as If 1t was a large do
main OF an elegant mansion; on the contrary,
it ever had the name of "the cottage" and
The charm about it was in the idea of snug
ness and unpretending comfort and sim
plicity. There is a tone about the article
which savors ofindelicacy, and is singularly
out of keeping with the characteristics Of
that genial yet dignified and true-hearted
geatlen,dn. The truth is, Thackeray has not
native refinement enough to appreciate such
character, and treat of itwith the respect
and good taste demanded. There is q pa
tronizing tone about his article-kindly aud
eulogistic as it is; the snob peeps out una
ware; "dear, amiable, simple old man that
he was" how that phrase would have grated
on Irvings earl How repulsive it is to those
who know how much there is to reverence
and admire as well as to sympathse with
and love in Washington Irvingl We have
noticed these things because that awkward
squad" which the dying Burns begged his
friends to keep from firing over his grave,
have apparently not done with making cap
ital out of the precious memory of Irving.

The Seville Cathedral and it's Interior.

Seville is full of curiosities and attractions.
The sight of the Cathedral alone, says a late
letter writer, has paid me for my visit. first
ascended the tower, which belonged origin
ally to the Moorish Mosque, and is over six
hundred years old. The work upon It is sim
gularly beautiful. There is something in
the Moorish architecture so light, graceful
and even ethrial that one is fascinated with
its strangeness and astonished at its beauty.
From the top an extensive view is obtained
Of the wide and rich valley in which Seville
lies. A dim light enters the interior of the
Cathedral through the beautiful stained-glass
windows, and the spectator looks up from
the pavement of black and white marble to
the lofty grained arches of stone, one hun
dred and seventy feet above him, supported
on Gothic pillars fifteen feet thick. The
Gothic architecture seems specially appropri-
ate to religious purposes, and to look through
the dim vista of columns, arches and fretted
roof is to be filed with a lofty sense of gran
deur and beauty. There is a fine organ, said
to contain fifty-four hundred pipes, which
heard played at vespers two or three even
ings since. Some fine paintings are shown,
a few by Murillo; but the Murillos, the Royal
Palace, called Alcazar, or Palace of the
Cesars, the house of Pilate, the Government
tobacco factory, and the University, / must
leave for another letter.

Extraordinary Phenomenon--Rcm cmarl1ubie
Winter Spout mt Sen.

We clip from the New York Herald the
following extract giving the particulars of an
immense water spout which Capt. Robert A.
S. Pitman, of the ship James Guthrie, wit
messed at sea:
Observed in the southwest cumbrous
looking cloud, which approached the ship
with an amazing rapidity, while the wind
continued to increase, yeering to the oppo-
site quarter. When the cloud was within
about three miles of the ship, the wind sud-
denly fell to dead calm, and the phenome-
non presented terrific appearance. The
cloud now assumed the form of an inverted
cone, and gradually descended toward the
sea, which also formed itself into lofty
peak, until the two points met, completing a
waterspout of gigantic dimensions. Around
this mountain of water, a whirlwind imme-
diately commenced, tearing and scattering
the sea in every direction, detaching and
carrying in its course large masses of clouds.
The appearance was like a vast horizontal
wheel, turning around this mountain of
water, with the spout for its center with an
amazing velocity; and, as the sky near the
horizon was perfectly clear, the revolutions
of this wonderful wind and water wheel
were distinctly visible, making its revolu-
tions complete in twenty-six seconds, and
with regularity and precision that were
truly astonishing. L his continued IOr ABOUT
twenty minutes, during which time the con-
nection of the clouds with the sea was sew
eral times broken off, without reducing the
altitude of the sea mountain, but immedi-
ately became reunited, until finally it termi-
mated with splash, agtating the ship and
passing over her, ending in torrents of rain.
Very soon the sky became beautifully clear,
the wind set in fresh from the southwest,
and all nature, as well as myself seemed re-
joiced at the destruction of so formidable
machine, the sun peeped out from behind
the clouds, sending his streaming rays thro'
the heavens and tinging the feecy clouds
with colors far exceeding anything that my
eye ever beheld. / could not help exclaim-
ing with the Psalmist 'How wonderful are
Thy works, Lord God Almighty" Accord
ing to my judgment, the diameter of this
wonderful wheel was at least half a mile.
If so, the force of the wind in that circle
must have been two hundred and sixty miles
an hour-sufficient to have destroyed the
ship in few moments.
