March 10. The closing festivities

occurs on March 10. The closing festivities
should be laid out on scale of grandeur and
magpifcence that will even eclipse those an
nually held at more southern points. We
can have three grand carnival weeks along
the Mississippi river, one at the foot, one in
the middle and one at the head of naviga-
ton. From orange blossoms to cleaning
crystals.
Wednesday, Dec. 2, was the anniversary
of the birth of James J. McCatferty, the
wellknown and popular lawyer. In the
evening score or more of his friends and
admirers, including many prominent pro-
feSSlonal and business men in st. Paul,
quietly wendell their way to his domicile
and proceeded to take possession. Mr..
McCa1erty soon recovered from his sur
prise and establishment and resumed his
Self-posseSSiOn. Greetings and congratula-
tons were showered ON him from every
side and then the party. with the able as
sistance of the host himself, proceeded to
enjoy themselves Everybody is acquainted
with the versatility of Mr. McCatferty and
his qualities as an entertainer. and the
party had the jolliest of good times. Each
one had speech to make, song to sing
and story to tell. At about mid
night the company were invited

beautiful and costly articles, among them
an acknowledgement and elegantly-finished
easy chair. After these had been pre-
scented with appropriate speeches, the party
proceeded to do full justice to the elaborate
collation. which was served up. The room
and the table were richly decorated with
flowers and monograms, and looked most
attractive and inviting. Over and over
again, and in all the ways that Imagination
could suggest, the company drank to the
health and happiness OF Mr.. McCafferty
and TO his long life and prosperity. The
fun was fast and furious long into the
night. and the wee Sma' hours were very
aged and decreplt when the party broke
up with the time-honored chorus of ''Auld
Lang Syne." The surprise party was unan-
imously voted a grand success, and many
were the wishes expressed that the
occasion might come oftener. Among
those present were: Gen. c. NJ. MacCarthy,
Capt. VI. J.O'Connor, MI. Patrick Keigher,
Charles l. Mccarthy. Judge H. W. Cory,

Col. George B. CIason was terribly and
justly annoyed at the Ryan last evening by
a small boy who walked around and about
his rotund anatomy, and seemed to be en-
deayoring to puncture the colonefs over
coat with a dirty dexter forefinger. Col.
ClaSon finally became irritated and de-
manded of the kid what he was doing.
Supreme satisfaction beamed on Mr..
ClaSen's countenance when he learned that
the boy was an emissNy of Col. William
Kemp, who had employed him to count the
mink skins used in the manufacture of that
handsome new fur coat. The boy said ''he
had got up to $50 skins, but he was afraid
he had lost few, and would Col. Clason
please tell him the number so that he might
get the promised quarter?"
