Ell CHICO DE MAYO-OPENING OF THE GREAT
MEXICAN HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES-ErC.
Laredo, May 1.-The stiffness of the morn
ing was broken at an early hour to-day in
New Laredo, Mexico, by the firing Of powder
and guns, which, on inquiry, proved to be
nothing more than that an extensive prepare
ton was being made by the Mexican military
to celebrate the fifth day of May, the day on
which Geneaal Zaragoza repealed the French
invasion at Queretero.

1t is not generally known that Jehfreys, al
though the most INSCRIPTIONS, time-serving
and malignant Judge who ever sat on the
English bench, was also one of the ablest
and wittest. His judgments delivered while
he was chancellor showed that he possessed
the true judicial instinct in civil causes, and
even when he misConducted himself most
grossly, as a criminal Judge, vein of humor
ran through his brutal invectves.
Victor Hugo was frail child. AT one year
of age he could hardly raise his head unaided,
and it was, as he assures us, thanks to his
mothers untiring care that he became at last
a child as healthy as most. Since then he has
never known a days illness. How few of us
can say as much But then how few of us
resign ourselves to such a life of austere regu-
larity.
The handsome and prosperous young man
in society is perhaps the happiest of human
creatures. He is better off than his pretty
sister, because he has the privilege of choice,
and like the prince in the fairy story can say,
"Come thou along with me" to whomever he
will But we believe that for the young man
OF society to become an old beau is just as sad
a thing as for the prettlest rosebud TO feel
that she is overblown.
When Worth produces fancy costume it is
a work of art. lie not long since copied from
kubens DIR IS of a Spanish nfanta for Nine.
Muncaskzy. Imagine gold brocade skirt
with satin Creves, damask train with red and
gold broche flowers, satin-lned paniers, a
huge velvet ruff and pointed bodice, these
last embroidered with pearls, and the whole
surmounted with a coronet of pearls. The
tout ensemble is said to have beggared des-
Cription.
Mr.. Huxley thinks with Dascartes. that the
unconscious reflex activity of the nervous sys-
tenn, which enables frog to smim, climb and
do many other complicated acts after his brain
has been removed, is the same in qualify as
all his other instructive acts, the loss of the
brain merely removing an unnecessary ele-
ment of consciousness, an element which may
be considered sort Of phosphorescent & low
passively lighting up for moment the purely
automatic action Of the animal machine.
Capt. Mayne Reid, writing of English
farmers, says; Plain roasting and boiling are
all of the culinary art known to his wife and
her one-there is usually only one-female
domestic. Among the country people of Eng
land there is absolutely noticing that deserves
to be called cuisine. The Scotch and Irish
have their "dishes," some of them appetizing
and excellent; but with the English it is roast
or boiled, chop. steak, and rasher of bacon,
nothing besides.
The mother of Jesse James at first intended
that her sons body should be buried directly
before the front door of her house in order that
