Ma. EBroR:-Old PbOebusarose from his sluus-
b.rs on Whit-uondax with a cheerful Eace, and
impreswd ms VERY SOrsibly by the manner In
w.Iieh his Icrdship was polished mp that he i'm
teaded 10 make il warm FOE somebody-
be did.
Although he kept his word, tlie people seemed
determined 20 see the " 20 Senff1msgR eat /" for st
early dawn the hnsy housewife was up makiI q
extensive preparations sor sOmething which did
not know.
Having an eye 70 business, and desirOus Of be
ing on hand IL there eas anything 10 be seen, !
followed the crowd, when. AFTER pleasant ride
Of three miles We came suddenly upon The neat
little Catholic church Of Sc. Michaels, bnilt an
der the supervision Of our most Reverend Pastor,
Father vigillanti, Of Sc. Inigoes' Parish.
After arriving ~ the church, found that the
great centre Of attraction was the dinner given
81 the ladies connscied with this church. Il
was q dinner In name and IN Act. The most
fastidious epleure, ater gazing ufoa those a.
llen could not resist the cravings -of the inneT
man, bat would BE- compelled 20 eat, each Wand
seeming TO ne with each other in the general in
vitation-s'Come and touch me " yon dare"
The long tables, With their snow white cloths
studded with beautiful bouquets sending up
their sweet perfhu1e, the obliging walters and the
Abundance Of subsfantials, stimulated BY the
presence Of our beautiful yOung ladies, was PIC
lure for "Angelo."
THE COMMITTEES deserve great credit, the ap-
pointmenis being perfect. The confectionery "a
BE was very attractive, and the small Young
American kept the lady attendants busy in adj
.ninistering 90 their wants; while those whose
hirsuite was just beginning 20 sprout did am
ME instice 70 the icecream, telling the firer SIX
Partheuia's tale 10 IngOmar-that true love con-
sisfs
Where two minds with single thought,
where two hearts beat as one"
whether their hearts beat that way or not can
not say will inform yoH in my next.
Great credit Is due the committee for their I'M
firing exertiOns In trying 10 make the affair q
success, especially the managers, Mrs. A. Ben
willie. Mrs. T. T. Baily, Miss Emma WEIGH and
Mrs. A. Bayne and her accomplished daughter,
Miss Mamie.
The gentlemen Of the committee, Mr. L. Ben
vile, Mr.. z. T. bailey, Nr. Charles Beard and
Mr.. Alexander Tension, were courteous and
seemed 70 be all attention. am especially in
debted 10 them for their hospitality.
There was another attractive feature, the exhi-
bition and concert by the Tall Pine coIored
school, oae hundred and forty scholars, taught
by John Caiay. The scholars looked fine and
the rendition Of the recisations and dialogues by
some Of them reflected great credit upon the
school and themselves. The singing was splen-
did especially the pieces-'Rest for the Weary, -
''Pilgrim" aud Sweet bye and bye" which
were well rendered. Their appearance and per.
formances show conclusiveIy that they have an
Efficient teacher and that this school Is among
the hest Of its kind in the county.
The eolored people were out in force and did
ample justice to the occasion and deserve grea,
credit for The interest they manifested in the event
After the close Of the day, the young people
had Chop at Mr.. l.. BenviIle's, where they
triPPed the light fantastic toe until the Eve sma
hours" when old chanticieer warned them that
Il was time to 20. Amer shaking hands with
the host and hostess and with the committee, We
parted with the impression that this was good
place % live, especially where there are 50 many
beautiful young lesisW-Rnd obligERg gentlemen
whose hospitality cannot be excelled. Having
written a rather lengthy letter,
