Messrs. Editors 1T is not my intention to
bore your readers with continued accounts Of
the doings Of the cOngenial proprietor Of the
Grand Central Hotel of your Town. but the
Phantom Party, Of which brief mention was
made in your issue Of last week proved so ex-
tFemely enjoyable, hardly think the public
at large will regard il annoying to render
little account Of what proved to be the mos,
successful party as regards real pleasure your
county has been favored with for years. Be-
fore going further, permit me TO say that
much credit is due Mrs. George Nicholson. Of
Baltimore, who proved herself Indispensable
in this as in every other amusement that con-
tributed 80 greatly TO the pleasure Of every in

We had the pleasure Of witnessing, on
Tuesday evening last, the Tea Party given
10y Miss Pauline Hammett to her young
ldaymates in and around the village. The
grounds of Mr. Hammett's residence were
iestoOned with flags and brilliantly lighted
up by Chinese lanterns and nothing was
omitted that could conduce to the hAppi-
ness OF the guests. A supper consisting of
all the delicacies of the season was prepared
aud We never remember having seen table
more beautifully laden or tastefully deco
rated. After supper there was a dance.
We congratulate the young hostess upon the
success of her entertainment.

If there he authority of law for the creation
Of n Surplus Fuad by the County Commits
siOners TO meet incidental expenses, we have
been unable to find it 1t is but justice 10 say,
however, that the existence Of such fund.
whether without authority Of law or not, ap-
pears 20 be necessary 10 meet unforeseen con-
tingencies, and il is certain that of late years
Boards Of Commissioners of all parties have
created and used fund Of this kind. The
objections Of taxpayers to this financial ar
rangement could be obviated, we believe. by
the Commissioners making an exhibit in their
Annual Statement Of the distribution Of this
fund. The law says, the County Commits
sioners 'shall publish annually a detailed,
minute and accurate statement Of the expenses
OF the county, specifying each particular item
of expense and for what and to whom paid -
Unless it he pointed out in the Annual State
ment, or in some other publication, for what
and 10 whom this fund is paid the above law
is violated and the taxpayer deprived Of his
right TO be informed Of the disposition that
has been made OF his money. That previous
Boards have neglected TO show for what and
to whom the Surplus Fund has been paid is
no reason why this practice should be allowed
to continue. IL is clear 10 our mind, either
that the Commissioners should make exhibit
Of what is done with the Surplus Fund or
adopt some other mode OF providing for the
contingent expenses of the county. The Sur
plus Fund Is as much part ''of the expenses
Of the county" as the expenses of the Circuit
Court, and the same obligation Is on the Com
missioners 20 give detailed statement Of the
one as the other.
Why the Judges Of the Orphans Court re-
ceiye n larger annual amount now than form
erly Is explainable by the greater frequency
Of their meetings. The law authorizes them
TO meet once in two months. They frequent
~ now meet twice a month and sometimes Of
tener. 1t is but sheer justice TO these gentle
men. however, to say, thattheir special meetings
are requested and urged by parties interested in
the administration of estates who, careless Of
what IL costs the county. are unwilling to
wait for the regular meetings Of the Court.
This has grown into an abuse which certain
ly ought 10 be corrected, and we believe will
be. At least we have heard that two Of the
Judges have declared, that they will attend
no more special meetings except under circum-
stances when they are satisfied that the inter-
est Of an estate imperatively demands a spe-
cial meeting.
This Is our answer TO two queries propound-
ed TO US week or more ago. We shall an
swer the Others as best we can when more at
leisure.

MEXICO'S ENGLISH LOAN.
The Reported Breaking OF of NegOtia-
tiOns Confirmed.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 22.-All doubt
concerning the suspension of negotiations
with the British holders of Mexican bonds
is removed by the declaration of the Off
cial organ of the Mexican Government,
which is the voice of the executive. In
response to a question as to whether
these negotiations had been suspended
this paper says: GA representative com
mIttee of the holders of the bonds of the
English convention debt insisted that
Mexico should accept conditions which
the latter considered very onerous,
and consequently would not admit.
The Secretary of the Treasury is
now preparing memorandum, which
will soon be published, and which
we are now sure will fully justify the
conduct of the Executive Committee.
The government is determined to settle
the general debt Of the country whenever
the difficulties which have presented
themselves, and which have no reason to
exist, are removed. The Secretary of the
Treasury says that the words convention
debt refers to the whole English debt.
His memorandum will appear tomorrow.

Petroleum V. Nashv.

A correspondent of John Swinton's
Paper represents Nasty as being a re-
marka5le man. 'He can,'' say the CORES
pondent, "wOrk harder and steadier, both
at demijohn and a typewriter, than any
other literary feller' in the country. He
never travels without both the articles
mentioned as his side companions. His
method is to hire a whole section in a
Pullman, have the curtain drawn and the
table set up, and proceed to business with
the typewriter on top of the table and the
jug underneath. He takes a drink to a
page, and his eageness for the jug makes
him rush off the page at very lively gait.
For some years past he has been travelling
abroad, getting material for history of
the world. 1t will be sold by the cord. He
has made a great deal OF money, and
through prudently buying his liquor at
wholesale and selling it to himself at re-
tail, he has saved up a fortune by saving
the balance. He is short, fat and fifty,
and he smokes five cent cigars when he
can get them seven for O quarter"

An Astonished Englishman.
Washington Letter.

HuofetHgtOfS
We were talking about good dinners.
and an army officer said: ''The finest din
ner ever given i'll our army was that of
General Prince Magruder, who COM
manded Fort Warren, Boston harbor, be-
fore the war, in honor of some English
officers who had come down from Canada.
You know what splendid services some
of those English regiments have. Com
plete in every PARTICULAR silver,
glass that equal the food, and food such
as Kings eat. General Magruder was up
in Canada, and one of the regimental
messes entertained him in fine style.
The Englishmen rather expected to
astonish the Prince, with their mag
niticence. But he said nothing, whatever
he may have thought about the gorgeous
feast set before him. When he
came to leave, however, he invited
all his hosts to dine with him in Boston.
They said they would. l think he must
have hoped that they would forget about
it. But they didn't. A few months after
ward Magruder got a note telling him that
these fellows would stop off for day at
Boston on their way to New York. That
suited him better than though they had
promised to stay week. When he saw
he was in for it he hustled around in a
very lively fashion. He had a big room at
the fort handsomely decorated with flags
and flowers, and he hired the contents of
a silversmith's shop and a set of the finest
China in Boston. Then he gave famous
caterer carte blanche. The dinner was
superb affair. 1t far outshone the dinner
which the English officers had given Ma
gruder. The latter was princelike in his
manner. But the English officers could
not conceal their surprise. Finally one of
them, who sat next to Magruder, turned
to him and said: BEG pardon, you know,
Pve always heard that American officers
got very large salaries, but may / ask
what your salary Is" Certainly, my dear
fellow said the Prince, in a princely way ).
but really don't know. JOhn,' he con-
tinued, turning to the servant who stood
behind his chair, what is my salary? You
see,' to the Englishman, Il always give
my salary to my servants The English
man was so overwhelmed that he did not
hear the servants somewhat unsatisfac-
tory reply"
