The Martha Washington tsa party liyen
last evening In the HERALD building "
the ladies' Of the Commerce Street Christian
church was the most successful church fe'-
tiyal Of the season. Many Of the ladies and
a number of gentlemen appeared In CONT
mental costume, and the former looked
lovely, and If possible, more bewltching
than ever in the dress Of our great grand
mothers, and as they gracefully waited
upon theguests the reporter almost imagined
that he could see Mrs. Washington
asking the father of his country II he would
not have his cup rehlled. Ter was u
precious article ii those days, and rs IL was
the prime cause that led TO our liberty we
do not know but that the tea plant ought
to be the badge of our land OF liberty IN.
stead of the American eagle, yet
the prejudice against Chinese cheap
labor would never allow such tEing.
The tables were presided over by matrons,
attended by beautiful and attentive young
ladies, all rugged out in their ruilles and
| LOUNGES Ia coutinPntal, and the choicest
of dishes were served with grace
and hospitality that at once captured
and captiyated the gentleman OIL 1855
| The invitation to the party, which was
gotten up by the ladies in the language OF
our great grandfatbers, reads as follows:

First-CIass Talent,

The New Theatre Comique show is COM
posed Of first-class talent this week, giving
an excruciatingly funny entertainment.
The people who appear in the olio have
been selected with great care aud are GER
tainly the best in their respective roles. The
show opens with swinging first part, all
the ladies appearing in scene of grandeur
and magniiicence. reminding one of the
fairy tales of our boyhood days. Little
Rosebud, so well known to our readers,
opens the olio in her songs and dances, in
which she is inimitable. Mccarthy and
Monroe follow in "Crogan's Chinese Laun-
dry" giving remarkable illustrations of
the habits of our washe-
washe people. Miss Ada Henry,
Washington's favorite seriocomic, is next (;
then James W. Kearney in his "Paradoes,
Parodies and Parades )" then the great il
Customary artists, Bolton & Bradford, with
their crystal fountain, one of the most won
derful and mystifying acts it has ever been
our pleasure to witness, the show closing
with the most laughable of all funny pieces,
"MuldOon's Picnic" Nessrs. Kearney and
Munroe rs MHldOOu and MRcdhy, in which
they excel all others who have ever ap-
poared in this city, the entire company as
sisting in this, the funniest of all funny
acts. The show is really a meritorious
one, and should be seen by all who are fond
of good show.
