THE N. Y. Times, in leader headed
"The Republican Party out of Danger, .
says: "The Irish refugees who landed by
the Cuba have more sense in their five
heads than all the populations which went
to meet them put together. After the
Federal officials had gone down on their
knees to them, and the Tammany crew
had disgusted them with slavish civilites,
Mr.. O'Donovan Rosa and his friends quiet
ly and firmly declined to go with either of
the deputations. They said to the half
drunken crowd: 1T is painful to US
tonight to see so much dissension
among yourselves. For what your re-
ception concerns us as individuals we care
little, compared to what we feel about it,
in connection with the interest of Irish
independence; and, as you have not united
harmoniously to receive us, we will not
accept hospitality. In word, they refused
to go with either Mr.. Murphy, or either of
the other contending factions, and took up
their quarters at hotel of their own
choosing. We can assure these men that
by pursuing this digniied course, they
have won more respect and sympathy from
the general public than they could have
ever obtained from being paraded ia pro-
cession through the streets, like travelling
circus or a menagerie"

Surprise Porty-A most pleasant affair
occurred Wednesday night at the residence of
hev, W. +. Hemenway, the very popular and
much beloved pastor of the Methodist church.
The congregation of DR.. Hemenway is com
prised mostly ofour fellow-citizens Of Northern
birth, and the church of which he is the pastor
ls known here as the Methodist Episcopal
ch9rch. party, numbering about fifty ladies
and gentlemen, had, for several days, been pre-
pairing to surprise the doctor and his good
lady. s0'N
Yesterday, in accordance with a pre.ar-
ranged plan, Mr.. and Mrs. Hemenway were
induced to visit friend in the country. and
did not return until quite late in the evening.
The party in the meantime went to work and
made all necessary arrangements for their re-.
ception. long table, loaded with all the
delicacies which could be procured in the mar
ket, was spread in the two parlors, The bour
approaching for the arrival of the uDsuspect
ing couple, the lights in the apartments we're
dimmed, and the company who had assembled
! Ia the 'front.' parlor remained as quiet as posi-
bic. Every precaution had been taken TO
make the occasion an agreeable surprise.
Several gentlemen were stationed in various
parts OF the room, ready to turn ON the lights
at given signal. Hardly had the positions
assigned been taken, when footsteps were heard
in the ball, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hemenway
entered the room. This fact apparent, an in
slant blaze of lights disclosed the situation.
The astoDishment of at least two of those
present, can well be imagined. Congratula-
lions and greetings were exchanged, when all
sat down to enjoy the good things that had
been accumulated. This duty satisfactorily
discharged, the remainder of the evening was
spent in the enjoyment of such social festivities
as an occasion OF this sort would be most likely
to evoke. The affair was, indeed, most pleas,
ant ape, and will long be remembered by those
who participated.
