FANCY DANcING.-An exchange cautions

enjoy the hopping around first on one foot,
then on the other, then on both; but they
will have good chance to hug other folks

the dancing. No one could object then but
if fellow were to sit by the side of his own
wife even in a ball room, and hug her half s
hard we'll, wouldn't there be remarks p
Guess not. I'VE speak ironiosliy.) Talk
about picnics, sparkling by moonlight, sitting
on the stoop Sunday evening, and stealing O

rosy-cheeked girl, or eating happiness with o
gold spoon-ail, all these sink into insignlh
canoe when fancy dancing comes on. But

the sweet hugging of that angelic creatur'
that he paid his ticket to, it's awful jus

their own assessors in the business.
Yesterday there was a meeting of the citizens
of Matamor0s, ut which resolutions were passed
that the Punishment of CaraYajal was an in
subordinate and unlawful act on the part of the
military they recognizing Juarez as the legiti.
mate president Of the republic, and bis appointee,
Carayajal, the legitimate governor of Tamaulipas.
. Ii is supposed that Cauaes, having the military
on his side, just snaps his fingers at all these pro-
ceedngs.
Cortina is in the neighborhood, recruiting and
INDUCING in great expectations. He wants to get
MatamOros just one time more, and give it a final
squeeze for yellow onzas and eagle dollars
But as the straws blow at present, Cortina
won't get in and Canales will not be monarch
long. Things look as if an intervention by indie
pendent Americans may result in the re-establsh-
ment of Carayajal, and the consequent enhance
ment of American interestson the Mexican side.
1t was all an unmitigated lie about the French
