The special Mardi Gras celebration last
night was one long to be remembered,
because of the elegance of the display.
AS usual, the daytime was given over to
the Lord of Misrule, while at night the
more serious and instructive part of the
exhibition occupied the streets. The En-
peror's arrival was welcomed by great
crowds of people, and his parade through
the avenues of the city was loudly APP
plauded

GALVESTON, TEX, Feb, 81.
The Mardi Gras celebration drew more
than ten thousand strangers to
Galveston. The feature of the celebra-
ton was gorgeous pageant last night by
jewellers of Naxos, representing twenty
striking scenes from the Old Testament.
The streets were brilliantly Illuminated
and packed with maskers of all classes of
society. The Opera House and Cotton
Exchange were transformed into hand
somely decorated bathrooms and crowded
to their utmost capacity with invited
guests. The city was given over to furi-
Gus merry-making, but there was COM
paratively little drunkenness and no dis
turbance.

Yesterday was the great day of the car
nivaland from morning until night, and far
INTO the night, the city was the scene Of
extraordinary hustle and activity. Canal
street was particularly resorted to.
and it was finally crowded with
people of all sorts, colors and con-
ditlons, from curb to curb, and from
wall to wall, of the entire 225 feet of it's
width. The balconies that line both sides
OF the street, rising on tiers one above
the other almost to the roofs of the
houses, were loaded with people. many
OF them ladies in brilliant toilets, The
weather was superb, the sky bright, and
the air as warm and balmy as in MAY in
the Middle States, the thermometer
standl- at 20 degrees at two O'Clock in
the afternoon. 1t is not an exaggeration
TO say that from one of the
lady-laden balconies that overlooked
canal street there were in the range of
vision 5O,000peoplc. About eleven o'clock
the enthusiastically costumed outriders of
Rex heralded the approach of the great
procession which, assembling the COM
bined strength of four associations, with
their moving scenes and panoramic
views of their subjects, sacred, heroic,
romantic and humorous, extended for
miles in length, mastering 100 cars of
scenic Illustrations, 500 horses and 1000
men. There were fully score of brass
bands interspersed at intervals in the
moving column.

Butterine and Boards Of Trade.

man who has eyes to see with when he
travels, and he had just returned from
Elgin, and he pronounced the whole
business Of public sales on these boards
a farce, and the chances are Just about
ninety-nine in a hundred that he told
the truth. The American Cultiudtor,
that generally knows what It is talking
about, backs us up in this statement a,
follows: "The butterine and oleomar

but by private agreements the cash

THE DAIRY.

Feed the COW all she will eat and

In Dundee, Scotland, dairyman
was recently fined Is for selling milk
which had been kept in a room in
which his son was confined by scarlet
fever. Seventeen persons who used the
milk were attacked by scarlet fever
and four died.
The butter crop of Vermont is esti'
mated at 27,000,000 pounds-half 8
POUND for each man, woman and child
in the United States. The butter croE
of Iowa is estimated at 10O,OOO,OW
pounds, or nearly two pounds for each
Individual in the country. Vermont Is
one of the old dairy States. For year,
her products have had National-and
indeed, a European-reputation. The
dairy interest Of Iowa has grown NJ
within about a dozen years. In 1881
her butter product was estimated at 5O,'
