Richmond excuPSionists homeward bouD d
from Cincinnati have, been passing, here for
several days. The last OF them went down
this morning, / believe. The party bad
the whole enjoyed. themselves Very, well.
They were in for fun, and had it. t..,.
Of Cincinnati--that, city Of magnificent
suburbs and cheap beer, Of splendid bust.
ness blocks and odors of pork-they speak
in enthusiastic terms. 1t is undoubtedly
the American Paris in gaiety, il not in
grandeur--also in non-obseryance OF the
Sabbath. You will hear plenty OF the eX-
cursionists talking on. the streets, and the
majority OF those who were at Cincinnati
on Sunday, will dwell chiefly on the fact
that on Sunday many OF the manufactures,
hundl eds OF stores, and all the saloons and
great concert gardens were oper.} ....
There are number of persons here now
who desire TO 60 on to the Cincinnati Exposi-
ton, but as there is only three feet six inches
OF water in the Ohio they are afraid OF te-
dious delays on the boat, which now rarely
makes the trip from Huntington to Cincin-
natl in less than twenty-four hours. In lieu
OF the Exposition, with all its wonders Of
mans handiWork; few wise people pro-
pose visit to, the Luray cave, there to
feast their eyes upon those mayels OF na-
ture about which we have all heard little
from the newspapers and much from MIR.

, Last night we had mild attack OF the
tableauX. The stage was, laid of in the
dining-roou, so that the folding doors be-
tween it and the parlori could be used in
place of drop-curtain. The audience was
in the parler. The entertainment was plea:
SAINT and successful. Some OF the scenes
brought tears to the eyes of q number OF
sentimental people, including!the Dispatch
man andia Ricbmonder' with q button-hole
bouquet and red bandanna. a scene of ter
derest' rpathos was provided in "Joan at
the Steak" This item on.the programme
awakened thoughts OF blood-curdling mar
tyrdum. A solemn. bush came over the
rnssanblaisa- -s.--1ehe = doors were opened.
There in the palid light stood 4 young
lady, knife and fork in hand, q beefsteak in
her plate, and despair written on her face !!
AS soon as the joke was seen there W.
immense applause. There was nothing per-
sonal in the illustration. All boarders, i'll
all quarters Of the world, coming from
homes humble or high, in all sorts Of hotels
and eating-bouseS, complain OF the beef
steaks. It is about once ortwice a year tn; t
a lucky man moving about over this planet
gets a tolerably good one; but the complain t
is regular. Trains may be late las sometimes
they are on this road, letters may fail, or
the most popular candidates (among stay-at
homesybe defeated ut the primary, but beef
steak remains forever Il national topic. II
bis hard subject for discussion and dlgeS.
