A Probability That william t. Porter
will Act as Water Commissioner.
Lewis Paynter, one of the new Water
Commissioners, informed the Mayor last
evening that he and the other two gentle
men appointed would appear before His
Honor this evening to take the oath OF office,
stating that William T. Porter had recon
sidered his determination not to accept.
Inquiry at the office of the J. Morton
Poole Co, twice this morning, failed to find
Mr.. Porter in. A gentleman there, how
ever, said that Mr. Porter was postponing
action until he had read the bill, and had
not decided to either accept or decline the
position thrust upon him. 1t is the opinion
of some gentlemen that Mr.. Porter will
eventually see his way clear to give an attir
NATIVE answer.
A certified copy of the act was received
Yesterday by Messrs. Porter, Rodney and
Paynter. BY its last provision the act wen
into effect Immediately upon its passage.

nishes his experience at ball in Yucca
tan:
The same dazzling array of beauty,
jewel bedecked mestusa girls beamed
upon us this evening. as at the first
dance, and soon all my friends were
busy filling their books for the dances.
There was no prescribed style of dresses
for the men; some wore their shirts
outside, fiuttering in the evening air;
some wore them inside, and some Of
the most aristoeratic even wore coats,
but all wore their hats. Unobserved,

costumes. as the sharp eye Of the Gen.
eral espied me from his chair of state,
beneath his own portrait, draped in
Mexican colors.
"Hi, Senior FREDERICK, why are you
not daucing!"
'Senor General, don't know how"
Eyes, you do; you've got to dance,
any way"
With that. he approached me, and
when tried to dart through the crowd,
caught and led me sternly back.
"Here," beckoning to a lovely girl,
"come, my darling, and dance with
ell senior estranjero.
The girl came and stood in front OF
me, smiling.
"rbis is my niece, the prettiest girl
in the room aud the best dancer in the
canton. Take her now and let her help
you"
Then explained to him that never
danced; that lame duck in ten-acre
lot would waltz all around me. 1t was
of no use. lie repeated: There's my
niece; look at her."
True enough. there she was, waiting
for me TO take her out. Oh she was
handsome girl, with regular features
and shapely shoulders, and hung all
around with gold ornaments.
Now that girl couldn't understand a
word OF my language, but she must
have seen that didn't want to dance
with her; but when the music struck
up she merely smiled and said, "Senor.

Vamonos means Ego along" but /
wouldn't go. commenced to explain:
"Senorita, no sabe this kind of
dance. you know; it's all Greek to me;
a Virginia reel or sailors hornpipe, for
instance, but this -" never finished
that sentence, for she advanced with
fire in her eye, and seizing me by the
waist, said, "Vamonos and | lust

Well, that young senorita sailed all
about me like swan. While hoped
up and down, stepped on her skirt, aud
trod on her toes, she remained as Sc
