The Jersey Lily.
HOW SHE LOOKS, HOW SHE is DRESSED,
AND WHAT SHE SAID.


AND WHAT SHE SAID.
Mrs. Langtry is native of the Is
land of Jersey, the daughter of a
Church of England clergyman, q
woman of good antecedents and
worthy of them, whose adoption of
the stage as a profession augments the
respect in which it is held by persons
jealous of its good repute. Mrs. Lang
try takes great parts, Rosalind, in GAS
You Like It," for example, and, judg.
ing from newspaper reports which
reach us, with the success due to intel
ligence and hard work, if not genius.
She is described as a dignified and
graceful woman, whose carriage and
manners indicate truly her familiarity
with the best society in England. Her
position as an actress taken at later
period in life than is common, has
not abated her dignified re-
serve. Mrs. Langtry is known
as "The Jersey Lily" COM
pliment to her very remarkable
physical attractions, which are the sub
ject of numerous pictures and descrip-
tons. She adopted the histronic pro-
fession as matter of business, with
the intention of making money. Her
father is dependent, and MRS. Langtry
is understood to have studied for the
stage with the view to earn the means
of promoting the comfort III his old
age. She ha a husband who seems to
be known to the reading public only as
the husband of Mrs. Lang'ry. Soon

A tourist In Mexico says that IN the
house of wealthy native everybody
is astir before sunrise. A servant
comes to your room to ask if you Will
have coffee or chocolate, or will go to
the dining-room for it. You must not
be offended if the host is off to his
business without seeing you, for at 10
o'clock he will return and greet you
tremendously enough. The Breakfast,
which is the chief meal Of the day, is
then served in courses. Fruit is eaten
first, soup often follows, then meat
after that eggs, and finally trijoles, the
national dish. This last is dark red
bean, cooked with lard, seasoned high
ly with red pepper, and is served in a
soup plate and is eaten with spoon,
1t is very paistable, and foreigners
generally become as fond of it as the
natives. Wine is always on the table,
and everybody concludes by smoking
a cigarette, the ladies not excepted.
Coffee and chocolate are served again
in the afternoon, and at II P. NJ. there
is light supper, consisting principally
of tomales, which is corn meal mush
mixed with force meat of chicken or
beef, highly seasoned with red pepper
and onions all nicely rolled in clean
corn shuek, tied and put in pot and
boiled until done; and served in the

THE PRESIDENT VETOES
THE CHINESE BILL.

The president has sent message
to the senate vetoing the Chinese
bill. The vital objection of the pres
ident is to the twenty years suspen-
sion of immigration, which he con-
strues as virtually prohibitory, and
therefore violative of the spirit, if
not of the letter, of the negotiations
upon which the treaty was based, land
as breach of national faith. The
message calls attention to the propo-
sitions made by the United States
commissioners on the point and the
counter propositions on the part of
China, to show that the understand
ing of the latter country in the agree
ment which was ultimately made was
that the immigration would be limit
| ed or restricted to a reasonable period.
The president then points out 9th
er features Of the act which in his
opinion, can be modified to advan-
tage. The system of personal regis
tration and passports is specifically
mentioned as undemocratic and hos
tile to our institutions, and he al
ludes to the omission of the act to
make any provision for the transit tC
China of Chinese subjects now resid-
ing in foreign countries, to which
subject the president adds his atten-
ton has been called by the Chinese
minister. The message refers to the
