Brief speeches were also made by Mr..

1t was my good fortune to meet MIR.
III. Bishop, the head of the great grocery
house of Messrs. r. NJ. Bishop :
q Co., who was Mayor of this
city when the Legislature of Tennessee
and Kentucky visited that of Ohio in
1860. The city of Cincinnati gave these
Legislatures a grand reception on their
return from Columbus, and Mr.. Bishop
make the reception speech. In recalling
many incidents of that memorable occa-
sion, reference was made to the visit of
these bodies to the late Nicholas Long,
worth, who threw open his extensive
wine cellars for their inspection. The
sparkling wine of this rich old citizen
was then made to flow as perhaps wine
never did flow on any similar occasion.
Mr. Bishop informed me that it exceeded
any thing he had ever witnessed on any
occasion. In returning to the city from \
Clifton, the late residence of Mr. Long
worth was pointed out by Mr..
Bishop. 1t still presents the same
appearance, but the man
Who gave character and fame to the place
has passed away, and hundreds of the
men 6ho drank his health in his spark
ing wine, have gone to the ''undiscov- =
'red country" While the stranger occu-
pies his late residence, his magnificent
vine cellars have been converted to other
lses than that which he intended.

While speaking of Mr.. Bishop, NAV
~ without transgressing propriety, that

ion of the affairs of Cincinnati are to be
net with upon every hand, both in the city
nd the suburbs. He had the honor of
originating and carry to PERFECTION many
i the noblest charities of the city, and
he parks which add so much to the
Iealthrul recreation and amusements of
he citizens. they are enduring monu-
nents of the large hearted and liberal
nan that he is,
CINCINNATI HOSPITALITY.
The reception to day by the authorities
nd business men of Cincinnati has been
perfect ovation to the press of Tennes.
&c. Everything was done to contribute
