of choice howers-walls hung in silk-crr stal
fountains and marble vases sparkling with per-

night. At two in the morning sitting supper
was served, and at four dancing was resumed
The Pacha did not dance, but his son opened

was prominent figure, as also the Portuguese
ambassador, the Due de Saldhana, who wore
forty five decorations. He is the most decor

his breast for another 'Order." The Persian
ambassador was remarkable for his Astrakan
hat, and General Chesney by his scarlet uni

limited to recital of the various attempts
made on his life. He is continuing his Flight

At the annual banquet just held at the Paris
Humane Society curious incident took place,
in the bestowal of gold medal on an old man
aged 50, and the award of another to child
aged years who had courageously y saved the
life of a companion from drowning in the Seine.

known Prince, Minister'S, 4 Senator, Deputies
and bankers Fourteen millions of money have
been spirited away, and it is to discover where,

such scene as is there about opening.
| All this must be very gratifying to Pho Nino,
whose marvellous constitution never was bet
ter. He works as much as the whole Sacred
College put together, and directs the minutest
