On Mardi Gras night the city of Mobile will
be alive with thousands Of pleasure seekers on
the occasion OF the tenth anniversary OF the
Infant Mystes." What Is meant by the Infant
Mystics? All we know about them Is conveyed
In a mysterious letter sent to us by the Royal
Mail. wherein we are invited to be in the city OF
Mobile on the 25th Of February.
The invitation of the "Mystics" Is accompa-
MED with delicately engraved allegorical pic
ture. presenting amidst floating clouds the full
moon. over which stands the muse OF lyrics. and
amatory poetry. Erato. the favorite OF Apollo.
Underdeath the clouds the sea is disclosed to
the view. and on q rock In the ocean two SER
pents seem to menace cat entwined In their
folds.
Why should they frown upon the cat nobody
knows. We cannot say; but II any one wishes
to solve the riddle. let him go to Mobile on
Mardi Gras night. and we are sure that entire
satisfaction will be given.
