THE SECULAR OBSERVANCE.
n Day OF FcastinS, Enjoyment and
Dissipation.

n Day OF FeastinG, Enjoyment and
Dissipation.
Although the weather waa far less pro-
pititous yesterday and drizzlc of rain fell
good part of the day, it was very early
perceptible on the streets that the re-
straints of Sunday and of the religious OBJ
servances of the day had been removed
From or O'clock until noon the streets
| were throngCd. The lunch route was long
and well travelled; the saloons hotels,
cigar stores and billiard rooms were about
the only business places opened, and they
were we'll patronized. By noon the thor
Oughfares were more deserted, the people
retiring. for dinner, but in the afternoon
they again came out on dress parade and
by night-fall the ravages of holiday dissi-
patton were very apparent. The main
features of the secular observance of the
day will he found below noted in detail.
At the Theatre,
evening when the talented young actress.
| appearance The play was "FrOu-F FrOu," )"
Hinton gave iadded testimony of the
extended range of her dramatic abilities.
She was very cordially received, but it was
notable that the favor of the audience
was confined almost exclusively to the star
of the evening; and not much wonder.
for the remainder of the company was of
such inferior stock that it would be scarce
ly worth whilepOinting out the abounding
defects. Miss Hinton has talent deserv-
ing of better support.
Guessing at the Eeans.
For week or more there had been i
great deal of interest developing among the
habitues of II. G.. Demuth's cigar store,
over the result of the guessing ut the num-
Der of beans contained in 4 curiOusly
shaped bottle, found to hold about three
| quarts of plain white soup beans, but of
such peculiar construction and varying
thickness of glass that its capacity was
very deceptive. During the time above
| mentioned it has been open to all corners
to guess, at 10 cents guess, on the num-
Der contained. There we're over five hun
! dred guesses made, and when opened and
counted it was found that A. S. Edwards,
of the prothonOtary's office, had struck the
| winning and exact number, G,747, and was
therefore entitled to two-thirds of the
| whole amount of money, while ID. D..
Lichty, with G,7jO, was next and took
second prize, one third of the whole purse.
The following table shows all ihe guesscs
made, and is interesting and curious:
