Duplicating the Princes Dinner.

I will confess to something that party of
Americans in Paris once did 1t was in all
the French papers that the prince of Wales
had given to the American beauty, Miss
Chamberlain, dinner at a certain cafe. The
item, by the way, was not written always in
as respectful French as it might have been.
Since the party had to dine somewhere, it
was suggested that the princes dinner be
duplicated in every minute particular, the
room, service, courses, wines, flowers-every-
thing the same. This was done.
Il was a very good dinner. It was not
nearly 80 extravagant as dinners given at
Delmonico's every day in the winter don't
think it was as dainty a dinner as an An,eri-
can prince, who put his mind to it, would
have given a young girl, and there was
noehing remarkable about it in any way
But some of us had our curiosity satisfied.

One of the pleasantest features Of my
visit here was call upon Gen Phil Sheri-
dan. What jolly fellow he he isl How
unchanged by the iron hand Of time, save
that he is broadened and stoutened, and
widened little, looking, however, exactly
in . thousand ways as he did twenty five
years ago, when, as the dashing, thriving,
gallant "Phil. he led charge after charge
and won trophy after trophy. He sits as
general OF the army in a very comfortable
apartment, nicely furnished with pictures
and flags, and Indian "reminiscences, and
portraits, some good and some bad, within
hailing distance of his assistants He uses
an ordinary office table, in front Of which
he has arranged three enormous easy chairs
Day after day women enter timidly, peer
around curiously, sit down gradually. and
stare persistently, until, having gratiIied
their curiosity, they rise and retire. This
is about all the fun Phil. Sheridan has now.
The moment he sees a lady enter, presum-
ably on curiosity bent alone, he grasps his
pen and begins to write. This is signal
for the commencement Of observation. She
observes, makes notes, and when through
goes QUITO Haward's letter.
