How II is Observed in New York
and Elsewhere.
A Beautlful Spectacle as the Troops
Moved Along the Streets.

NRw YoRK, May 3O.-The prepa-
rations made for a due observance Of
Decoration Day were far more elobo-
rate than they have been in recent
years, the most impressive demonslra-
tions being the military paradss, in
which.the whole Of the First Division
National Guard participated in New
York, and the whole Of the Second
Division in Brooklyn. The day is
very generally observed as a holiday.
All places Of public and nearly all
places Of private business were closed.
On all the principal buildings flags
were displayed, and bunting in Broad
way was sufficiently plentiful to make
a very pretty spectacle, especially when
the great thorOughfare was filled with
troops. The streets through which
the procession moved were packed
with people, and the windows of all
the neighboring houses we're also
filed with sight-seers, and the roofs of
the houses were also hung with flags
and bunting.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Decora-
ton day is being generally observed
here, All Of the national and district
departments and many business houses
are closed, and flags are flying at half
mast from public buildings, hotels
and other places. At the Arlington

Belgravia.J
At one of the grand dinners given
by the car, a huge pile was placed in
the center Of the g~entlemen's table,
out of which, when the startled carver
broke the crust, a beautiful dwarf
lady, in puris naturalibus, all except a
head. dress, stepped, proposed in q set
speech and drank in a glass of wine
the health of the company, and then
retired into her snug retreat and was
carried from the table. A man dwarf
was substituted at the ladies' table.
Did not Peter say he could reform his
people, but not himself? A dinner
party at the czar's must indeed have
been a sight not conceivable out of
Bedlam, and could only have been
planned in the maddest brain
on earth, if a manuscript among
the Sloane papers in the British
Museum is believable. Such prac-
teal jokesl such wild, g~rotesque

the laughter of a Titan, as frightful in
his fun AS in his fury There was
accommodation at the ear s table for
about a. hundred; but the grim
humorist always issued Invitations to
twice or thrice that number, and left
his guests to elbow, jostle and fight
for chairs and places, and retain them
against all corners and claimants if
they could. Not unfreQuently a free
fight was extemporized. and noses
tapped, and even the sacred persons Of
ambassadors have been prefanely
touched and trihed with. The czar
sat at the head of the table, a broad
grin on his face, rolling the spectacle
like a sweet morsel under his tongue.
The guests are so closely packed that
feeding-roOm is not to be thought Of,
and ribs are often blackened and
almost driven in by active and vigor-
Gus elbows, provoking fierce recrimin-
atoms and quarrels. The kitchen is
80 neal to the d~ining-hall that there
floats through the latter o fragrance of
onions, garlic and train oil, mellowed
ana tempered by the more delicious
aroma Of the roast. The more know.
ing and initiated guests wave away

fest special appetite forhams, tongues
and viands that cannot be tempered
with, or made the vehicle of practical
joking, for as often as not it happens
that a bunch of dead mice win be
drawn out Of the soup or discovered
snugly imbedded in a dish of green
peas and, sometimes, when his guests
have well partaken of certain pastries.
the czar will c%ourteously inquireif the
cat, wolf, raven or other unclesn ami
NAL proved a savory or delicious NOR
sci, with what result let the imagina-
tive guess. The approach to a regular
DOnnybrOok was fastened on by lib
eral supplies Of brandies, strong ales
and wines so adroitly served out as to
expedite the grand climateric Of

Many men we're present, and Mrs. j.

requested them to let the ladies attend

Rev. DR.. Smith, Of the Theological
Seminary, Chicago, spoke in their
behalf, and said hal they did not like
to give up their work until they saw
what arrangement had been made to
carry on the work they had begun.
Rev. DR.. Larimer, Of Chicago, adj
vised them not to give up until they
we're assured ola continuance Of their
work. 1t would not be wise to dis.
band to-day.
Rev. DR.. Cheney, of Chicago, in.

Special to the Courier Journal
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The Pres

does not attempt to conceal his graft

whose nomination would have been a

Foster, despite his great personal

Foster is a conservative, and has a
record here in congress which can be
used to divide the party in the State.
There is still much talk Of nominating
Thurman, but the latter is wary Of
risking his political future.
THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.
No plan for the future in congress
has yet been determined upon, and
none will be until after the veto mes.
sage is sent in, which will no doubt be
dene tomorrow. The majority OF
Democrats are in favor of passing the
repeats Of the test-oath and the mar
shals in separate bills, but there are
quite a number who desire that the
appropriation bills, plain and simple,
should be passed without further de-
lay, and then go TO the country on the
issue as made with the President. So
indefinite, however, is the situation,
that nothing can be safely predicted for
the future, beyond the statement that
the tendency is to first pass the indie
pendent measures.
