THURSDAY EVENING, MAY II.

TOASTED Nh. DAv1s.-Comrade 8. NJ.
Saunders, of Mount Vernon, in Westchester
county, N. Y, member of Farnsworth
Post, ITO, G. A. R., has estranged himself
from fellowship from the post and has I'M
beriled his standing as patriot 10 the vii
lape of his residence by having proposed
the health of Jefferson Davis at the centen
NAL anniversary of the Chatham Artillery
at Savannah, Ca, in the early part of May.
At meeting of Farnsworth Post in Mount
Vernon on last Friday night, there was bot
discussion of the matter, and Major Jenkins,
commander of the post, and clerk in
the New York custom house, was d.
rected to learn from Captain Saunders the
facts in the case. Capt. Saunders reply has
hardly served to allay the excitement, for
he not only admits having proposed Jet
Dayis's health, but be refers to the response of
Of the ex- President of the late Confederacy
as containing more bright and loyal ex-
pressions in sympathy with the federation
of this great country than could be express
ed by hundred thousand men who really
DO not know the great principles OF the
Christian faitb-peace, forgiveness to all
mankind" Mr. Saunders will be court

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Our available space is devoted TO A de
tailed report OF the Kings birthday re-
cePtion. 1t is possible that in some
minor points there may be omissions,
but in the main We think that every
thing OF interest has been mentioned.
1t Is proper however to say that as a
whole the birthday reception yesterday
has never been egualled by any State
ceremonial in this Kingdom. The credit
for this is entirely due to the Chamber
lain, His Excellency Curtis 2. Iaukea.
and his assistants, Major A. b.
Hayley and Colonel J. II. Bov1i.
This public recognition OF their admitted
merit and success is due to these gentle
men, and His Majesty is to be congratu-
lated upon surrounding himself with SC
devoted and competent a household
Taken a. a whole the fiftieth birthday Of
His Majesty King Kalakaua will live
long in the memory OF those who par
ticipated in its celebration.

Hrs Peculiar Method of Entering

LIS curious what strange freaks habit
takes in man. l was walking up Suffer
street late one night and l saw a gentleman
who had been imbibiny with most satisfac-
tory results go up to a hack, by which the
driver stood. The driver did not open the
door, but the gentleman backed up against
it, raised himself until he sat on the edge of
the aperture left by the dropped window
and calmly squeezed himself in until his
head disappeared inside and his feet hung
out Then the driver put the ObstreperouS
feet carefully inside AMI mounted his box

That's all right It's only -" naming
