To eat so much-but all's so good.

My lord alone knows how to live. Pope.
On Tuesday evening the palatial resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Rice
was ablaze with the happy merriment
of Abilene'S social, intelligent and free
hearted people, invited there to a sOcia-
BILE and supper prepared by number
of ladies for the benefit of the new
Baptist church. So well was every
thing planned and carried out by the
ladies that the rooms were filled with
the hum of good time, in converSing
and listening to the sweet strains of
music as it fioated through the rooms.
The tables grOaned under the weight of
meats, choice cakes. ice cream, &c,
and from all appearances the poet truth
fully pictured this gathering in the fol-
lowing lines:
Cheerful looks makes every dish feast,
And It's that crowns a welcome.
The ladies are pleased to return
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Rice for so
kindly throwing open their house to
them and for the liberal patronage given.
Net proceeds of the evening $4,000.

Hi Henry's Minstrels.

We do not know with what favor
minstrel performances are received
among the ''effete monarchieS" of Eu-
rope, never yet having had the opportu-
nifty of seeing any sort of show on the
other side of the water. But we know
that in this benighted country, from the
hour the bill poster puts in his appear
ance until the moment the curtain falls
on the darkey's last grimace, there Is
nothing so attractive as the antics and
stale jokes of the burnt cork artist.
And perhaps it would be useless to in
quire into causes which produce such
well-kIIown effects. The minstrel show
draws, and Hi Henry's company was no
exception to the rule The music was
good and the singing above the average,
especially that of the Muldoon Quar-
tette. President Arthur's trip to the
Yellowstone and the burleSque lectures
were specially worthy of mention, and
some of the jokes were actually new.
Taken as whole, there was as little to
weary and more to please than i'll any
minstrel performance ever given in Alb
ilene: and if we must have minstrel
shows, by all means let them be of the
excellent character of Hi Henry which
