RANDOM KECOLLECTIONS.
NUMBER FOUR.

Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
"That was the unkindest cut of all to
cut out Byron's "Faliero" and then throw me
into the waste-basket. But it reminds me Of
joke so rich that will relate it:
In 1885, Sol Smith, who then acted in
Mobile, was noted for his impersonations of
comic characters this was before he had the
St. Charles with Ludlow-introduced an
opera, the frs! which had ever been performed
in that city. The morning after the per-
Torrance, he met o triend-this friend was
either Sam Wilson, who, for SO many years,
conducted the thinking wing Of the Picayune,
or it was my darling friend Thaddeus Sanford
they were the proprietors and the editors Of
the Noble Register.
''Sir," said old Sol, "were you at the
theater last night and witnessed the opera z"
EYES," replied this friend, II was there. =
SWELL" said old Sol, 81 am very DESTROYS
Of pleasing the citizens Of Mobile, and re-
quest that you would suggest any improve
ment. Please tell me-"
"Why, yes" replied his friend, 81 would
make suggestion"
"What is it 2" asked Smith.
"Well, will tell you my suggestion, and
it is this-that you cut out the music
This anecdote is told by Smith himself in
his autobiography, pu blished in 1910.

ANOTHER TURN TO TIE SCREW.

To the Editor of the Bulletin:
Although no fact can be better established
than that in this State, aud especially in this
city, every pursuit and interest is perish;ng
beneath the incubus OF excessive taxation, yet
Kellogg, in his message, bowls for further ex.
actions and more stringent laws for their col
lection, utterly regardless of the sufferings of
this tax impoverished people.
Hs has the impudence to pirate of the in
Justice of the tax delinquent, and, with char
acteristic mendacity, asserts what is univer-
sally known 70 be false, "that tho rich evade
taxes and the poor pay them"
HIS argument to sustain this dictum is as
ridculously foolish as his premises are false.
But it does conclusively disprove that which
many foolish people believe and designing
people assert, that excessive taxation is not
the sole cause Of the entire prostration of
business in this State.
In proof he says that the rich parish of
Caddo is eighty-three per cent in arrears with
its taxes, whilst the comparatively poor par
ishes of s. John and st. James have paid up
within ten per cent. This does not prove that
the rich refuse 0 pay, and the poor pay taxes,
but it proves conclusively by induction, what
the science of political economy proves de-
ductively, that if people pay exorbitant taxes
they certainly become poor, but II they do
not pay them, they may become rich. This
is almost too obvious to require discussion,
because, if capital, or that portion of the
public wealth devoted to reproduction, is de-
creased, production is curtailed also; wages
decrease, and the poor suffer from diminished
wages, and intermittant employment, and yet
this. usurper, whilst crushing the poor, At
Temps in q factious spirit to array them
against the rich, whose capital is essential to
their existence, as without these there would
no employment A. NJ.

stand in the United States Senate where all
the world did listen when he spoke; never,

It was almost like a wall; then when tne
minute of silence had passed Mrs. ocnufz
told me of her children, of her anticipated
European residence and many DINER items
showing the sweet womanly nature whicn
has made the home Of Carl Schurz known 70
all Washington society as model nousenoio.
"You must admire Senator Schurz pup

Schurz, and Only Yesterday, talking over the
Senators who will come no more with one
who still holds his seat, my friend declared
..There never was q man on that floor more
worthy Of affection than Carl Schurz. l sat
there beside him for two years; l knew him
intimately and loved him. Possibly that
word is not often used among men to deslg-
nate their regard for each other, but did
love him "
Admired at the North for his learning and
eloauence, the South will never forget his
brave declaration in her behalf, when doml-
nant party still sought to continue an ont
rageous form Of oaRSession; but beside the
orator, scholar and statesman, there has always
stood with most loyal love the lady, who.
though stranger to our customs, won for
herself warm place in the heart of every one
fortunate enough to know her. l have tried
to show you something Of her by her own
words. SANS SoUCI.

A Chinese DiUner Party.

A dinner party in China is a most methOdi-
cal affair as regards precedence among guests,
the number Of courses and their general
order and arrangement. We shall endeavor
to give detailed and accurate account OF
such banquet as might be offered to half a
dozen friends by a native in easy circum-
stances. In the first place no ladies would
be present, but men only would occupy seats
at the square, four-legged "eight-fairy y
table. Bstore each there would be found a
pair Of chop-sticks, wine cup, a small
saucer for soy, two-pronged fork, spoon, a
tiny plate divided into two separate cOmpart-
meuts for melon seeds and almonds, and a
pile Of small pieces Of paper for cleaning
those articles as required.
Arranged upon the table, in four equidis-
tant rO1s are sixteen small dishes, or sauceYs,
which contain four kinds Of fresh fruits, four
kinds of dried fruits, tour kinds Of candied
fruits, and four miscellaneous. such IS pre-
served eg IS, slices Of ham, o sort of sardine,
picked cabbage, etc. These four are in the
middle, the other twelve being arranged al
ternately round them. Wine is produced the
first thing and poured into small porcelain
cup by the giyer Of the feast himself It is
polite to make bow and place one hand at
the side of the cup while this operation is
being performed. The host then gives the
signal to drink, and the cups are emptied in
simultaneously, being often turned bottom
upwards as a proof that there are no heel
taps.
Many Cinnamon, however, can not stand
even small quantity Of wine, and it is no un-
common when the feast is given at an eating
house to hire one Of the theatrical singing
boys to perform vigorously such heavy drink
ing as may be required by custom or exacted
by forfeit The sixteen small dishes above
mentioned remain there during the whole
dinner, and may be eaten Of promiscuously
between courses. Now we come to the din
ner, which may consist Of eight large and
eight small courses, six large and six small.
eight large and four SMALL or six large and
