only succeeded in getting 70 confines

The great Tower, handsomely illumin-
ated in honor of the day, with colored
fire, rockets &c, 1T a height Of nearly
thousand feet, was one Of the grandest
sights ] have ever witnessed.
The reception at the re5ideace or the
American Minister was about the tallest
thing I have been at for some time. The
home Of Mr.. Reid is Just of the Choug
Eliza, and rs A palace ia every sense. The
Wbits House ac.uslly becomes a wigWam
In comparison. It comes high, but
Whitelaw Is bound 10 have 10. He
pays. as every enc knows g, 500 per year
more rent than his salary amounts 70,
and that shows his desire TO do the
thing right The entrance is very mag
nifcent indeed, and the residence itself Is
not only very grand bat richly furnished.
Whitelaw is q great social success, and for
that we should honor him az the start /

i saw Senator Sherman and wife, also
Buffalo BIZ; also many other Americans
Miss Elme5 was on the programme and
sung clafmingly. NIr. and Mrs Bill and
daughters we're here. Mr. Hill IS the
President of the ST. Paul, Minneapolis and
and Manitoea Railway. The two Misses
Hill are noted for their agreeable manners
and exceedingly graceful manner of con-
versing on an subjects. / might also
add, that by way of relief, they
are sometimes interesting to meet.
Oae never hears either Of the Misses
Hill refer 90 the cost of their dresses nor
tell how much money pa has spent on cabs
and tips since they came abroad. Among
others were Mrs. Helen Dauvray Ward
and Mr Chsrles Rheinhart, AIr. John Hay
and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Henry i Abbey
and Theodore Tlt0n. The band. after
three weeks rehearsal, played Yankee
Doodle and Hail Columbia The
fountains sQuirted and the pink spinal col
umns of the American contingent cleaned
in the soft voiuptuous light, along with
the baldheads of eminent men.
BY the way, the American Minister can
not poke fun at me much longer on the
dome business, for he has a gOod-sizsd
skating-rnk on the back Of his head, which
the cart0ouists ought to utilize. We COM

though I do not claim anything special ia
that line, hs Ia getting as I say, quite arid
on top. However, Mr.. and Mrs REID are
ably and luxuriously representing the
United States and hold up the National
fabric in good shape, q thing which in for
mer years we have not had too much of in
our foreign Minister. Oar Ministers have
been, in many instances, a disgrace 60 the

It looks real cute.
The contempt of the French people for

of the press, but 10 is only now that i can
