Carving Which lisa Feast of Reason and
an O'erturned Bowl.

My carving is like my dancing. 1t is
not conventional. 1t is extremely origi-
nal, bold and audacious. try to intro
duce joints where nature did not intend
to have them, and | seek to make short
cuts across a fowl in 4 way that is pro-
ductive only of ehagrin, veXation and
fragments Of hen. Man is weak, falli-
BILE creature, and he ought not to seek to
monkey with the anatomy of a fowl or to
improve Joints and apertures where they
do not belong, for at such times as you
think not the knife Will slip, and it Will
trip over the celery glass and fill the bosom
of a warm personal friend with gravy.
To attract attention and keep up the
spirits of the company, therefore, l make
1t kind of business, as it were, to I'LL the
/ air with harmless amusement at the same
time that shed stutfing through the at
mOsphere and mutilate the bosom of the
| hen. This gives me an opportunity, oc-
casionally, to gather up the sage, bread
| crumbs and gizzards out OF my lap and
return them to the platter without eXclt-
| ing remark.
/ A few weeks ago, on one occasion of
| this kind, a cousin of mine, young law
! yer connected with the Omaha road, a
| young man of good parts, and whose bus
! mess it is to stand between the Omaha
a year and travelling expenses. was pres
| ent.
l had Just said something smart to keep
| the company goOd-natured while l asked
/ a young lady at the other end of the table
| to please return the duck which had in
advertenuy presented to her with the
carving-forl stuck in it. Every one was
| laughing jOyously and trying. to conceal
! itby putting their napkins to their mouths,
! when my cousin turned to my little
daughter and SAID:
"Bessie, haven't you got funny papa,

Eyes, indeed,' said the ungrateful, I'M

great name. 'EYou better believe he's

And yet people wonder why l am not
the same genial host that l used to be,
and why the children do not eat at the

! kicking against the door OF an adjoining
room, and the occasional wall of a hungry

what Vanderbilt, Gould and Aston Put

From the Nel0 York MAI and EsDreSs.
The dudes and swells, especially those
who pattern after English style, are be-
ginning to dropthe prefix Mr.iromtheir Wis.
iting cards." said fashionable designer
and card engraver TO reporter,
"What is the reasonV
"They say too many people are putting
'Mr.' TO their names who have no style,
no prestige, and no social elevation TO
warrant IL. They add that IL Is becoming
too vulgar and common, and they do not
propose to have the style of the general
masses. Hence they drop the prefix. My
experience in the business teaches me
that the Americans proper, / mean those
who do not suffer from Anglomania, do
not use the prefix in their cards TO great
degree. 1t is merely a matter Of taste
with them.
"John Jacob Aston always has Mr.

neat white card. Jay Gould, Vanderbilt

Some few Murray Hill millionaires use

A Nashville Orator Draws Shower OF
Mexican Tears.
From lie NdShUIIle Americdn.

Several days since Gen. VIM. G. Brien
aud his lady, who were doing the exposi-
ton, found themselves among alarge party
who were invited to visit Baton Rouge.
The eXcursionists were OF different ma
tionalities, Mexico being represented by
q halt dozen swarthy scions of her richest
blood. The Mayor of the city received
his guests in handsome style, and after
presenting to their inspection the most
attractive spots in his Jurisdiction, ac-
cOmpanied them 10 the State Uni
versity site. The faculty Of the in
stitutiOn had provided a sumptu-
Gus banquet, at which resident grandees
were assembled in full force in honor of
the occasion. After several elegant
courses, champagne was produced and
tOasts were declared in order. The Mayor,
after IGNORING several States with calls,
announced that Gen. Brien would respond
to a toast to Mexico. The General did
respond, and condensed into a five min
utes' speech so much that was calculated
to excite the pride, arouse the patriotic
ard0r and stir the tenderest mpathies
and memories of the Mexican soul, that
when he ceased the sons of that cline who
sat beneath his burning words were
pOWeriess to repress their feelings, and,
with tears in their eyes, left their seats
and clustered round ''the stranger" who
had charmed them. The little incident,
so full Of pathos, impressed the entire
assemblaCe.

about to go to the inauguration-don't.
Detroit Post: The right of asylum was
established by the fathers OF the republic,
and it is Justly held sacred by their sons;
but the asylum should be fire-proof.
Pittsburg Post: Massachusetts wants
John Quincy Adams put in the Cabinet
because he is member of the Adams
family, which is one OF the principal pro-
ducts of that State.
Watertown On. Y.D Times: Leray cast
73 votes for st. John, which was the
most votes he received in any town In the
county. At town meeting the town voted
for license by about two to one.
New York Sun: Notwithstanding all
positive announcement to the contrary, a
great deal of uncertainty will surround
Mr.. Cleveland's selections for the Cabinet
down to the final moment of sending the
list to the Senate.
Kansas City Journal: If Dan Manning
goes into Cleveland's Cabinet, William G.
Whitney will have to be given the best
foreign mission, for the Standard Oil
Company never lends money unless good
collateral is put up.

ishment, light or heavy, OF few indi-
vidual culprits is small matter, but if it
results in breaking up the ring to which

But that result is not assured by the
mere success of this prosecution.

Democratic committee have hit upon a
beautiful scheme for the distribution of
federal patronage under the new admins
tration. An appointment board has been
formed, consisting Of Jerome Eddy, Don
Dickinson and the Democratic congress
men of the state, to whom all applications
for Office must be referred. This project
will create beautiful row before it is a
month old. The hungry men who want
the offices will not tamely submit to the
dictation of an office-broking board.
