and 70 use an e-cusable bull, two Of these
Americans were Belgians, having resided ia
New York some years Now there Is not
even shadow Of a colony here, and beauti-

Partisan gathering.
At length all is ready After the custom

minuet, MS stately almost as the one Of tho
French Louis. Follow it with me, dear
reader. in fancy. az least The old minuet Of

indescribable grace as high as the shoulder, !
