That PRoDIGIoUs BANQUET IN 1SS0.--The
great banquet to be given in 1880 in Chica-
go, first alluded to in this paper some weeks
ago, bids fair to become a fact and a success.
The gentleman who is to cater for it and
superintend the affair, told reporter yes
terday that prominent Masons Of the East
are taking an active interest in the matter,
and some estimates have been made as to
cost, modus operandl etc, to insure the
success of the undertaking. The dimensions
of the Exposition Building have been taken
with view to its adoption to the purpose,
and it is found that the 10000 Sir Knights
WHO will meet in concave here at that time,
can be comfortably seated, by proper an
rangement OF labes i'll the main hall. This
would leave the wings and the rear apart
ment for the ranges and other appliances
for cooking. The walters are to be divided
inlo compafsies, each under captain, wi h
each com pany subdivided into groups OF
ten and detailed to table, which will seat
100 persons. BY this arrangement wal ers
will serve 10000 banqueters with the same
promptneSs and efficiency that a small
party is served in an ordinary 'of any we'll
arranged hotel The estimated COST is to be
$50,0OO and it is estima ed that for this sum
the table can be spread in first class style,
with all the favorite seasoh4.Jie dishes This
is to be on the occasion of the grandest re-
union OF Knights Templar ever held, and it
is also intended TO make the occasion mem
orable by the greatest banquet ever given
Ill the world Chicago Inter-0cean.

Miss Kate Field said in her address at the
Shakespeare memorial performance in Lon
don the other day: Before leaving Stratford,
l was asked bythe Memorial Commi, tee to
assist them in bringing their project more
prominently before the public, particularly
in my own country; and while thinking
over the matter had dream which may
not have been all dream. | dreamed that
my ancestor Nathaniel Field, the dramatist
and friend of Shakespeare, came to me say
ing, DO it for my sake. Your country peo-
pie revere my old managers name. You
almost believe that you invented Shak-
speare. We owe to you the preservation
of his birthplace, for not until that
greatest Snowman on the earth, p. I. Bar
mum, was about to pack up the crumbling
house and carry it to America, did we
awake to sense of its value The light
that falls upon Slakspeare's grave peers
through an American window. Just before
leaving England, Joseph Jefferson, your
comedian took his infant child to STRAIT
ford, that it might be baptised with the wa
ter of sweet-tiowing Avon. The letter in
your hand asks for bit of ivy from Shaks-
peare's birthplace, that the graduating class
OF Yale University may plant it on the
green of their Alma Mater Do it-but not
now. Your country is poor, and charity
begins at home. But something can be
done now; the echo of which will be heard
in New York and San Francisco English
actors will gladly serve their masters
cause This performance is the result of
that dream"

BRrrSH FAIR PIAY.-The Pail Mall Ca
zette, Of May 9th, says: "Lynch law is hap
PLY not one OF the customs of this country,
but there seems to be a growing tendency
toward it. A disturbance took place at
Hanley on Tuesday in case in point. A
marriage was celebrated in a Methodist
chapel between an old man of seventy and
a girl of eighteen. The disparity of years
between the bride and bridegroom aroused
the indignation of mob, who attacked the
couple on their arrival at the chapel, tore
their clothes, and ill-treated them. The
mob then rushed into the chapel, notwth-
standing the efforts of a small body of police
to exclude them, broke one of the windows,
and such scene of violence ensued that it
required all the exertions of the police to
protect the objects of this righteous wrath
from personal injury. Ultimately, how
ever, the old man escaped by one door, his
newly-married wife by another, and, by
aid OF police escort succeeded in reaching
their home in safety"

One evening, after the saloon was closed,
Christian followed the widow to her room,
