We arrived here Saturday night.
Yesterday being the 9Th of May, a
great holiday in Mexico, was eele-

out in flower beds, and is just 'front.'
ing this hotel; at the same time all
the bells of the city were ringing and
the bands of music were playing the
Mexican National hymn at their bar
racks. During the day two long pro-
cessions passed through the principal
streets which had all been decorated
the previous day. The one that pass
ed in the morning was composed of
different societies, numbering about
800 men, of which over One-half of
them were on horseback, accompanied
by two fine bands of music. At II m.
another salute of q guns were fired
on the same plaza, underneath my
room. Between and 5 o'clock p. m.
the second procession passed, which
was one of the largest ever seen on an
occasion like this. The latter one
was composed only of the army,
which consisted of seven infantry and
four cavalry companies and four
bands of music. At $50 p. m. both
professions met on the Plaza del de
Mayo, where a large platform was
erected on the north side. The plaza
was beautifully decorated with ever
green's, flags and Chinese lanterns of
different colors. There were fully,
without eXaggerating, about 5000
people, of which about One-fourth
were ladies. Speeches were made by
Gen. Roel and others.
In the evening, about $50 o'clock
the'elite of the city gathered on cara
goZa plaza to listen TO the sweet
strains of the 10Th infantry band; this
park is the prettiest in the city and
fronts on the Palace. IL was brilliant
ly Illuminated with Chinese lanterns,
red, white and green, with the Next

front gallery of the Palace was writ

Triclking Bogus Critics.

A st. Paul gentleman, who many years
ago was resident of Cincinnati, tells a
story concerning Powers, the sculptor,
which has probably never been in print.
There were at that time in Cincinnati
two or three connoisseurs in art who as
sumed a sort of general censorship in
such matters, and everything that they
said concerning works of art was sup
posed to "go." They had unfavorably
criticised some of Powers work, and, as
he did not take much stock in their die
tations anyway, he decided to show them
up to the art people of the city. He was
working some in wax and announced q
reception at which he would show some
Of the latest products of his genius.
Among the figures was one represent
ing the mayor of the city. 1t stood in a
niche by itself, with the light arranged
for the best effect. The high mucka-
mucks of the art world of Cincinnati at
tended the reception. They examined
the figure of the mayor and made COM
ment on it. THE hands," remarked one,
do not reveal any anatomy" THE legs
are a trifle Short" said another, "but
otherwise l consider it very fine
figure" And SO they went on. One of
them finally discovered that something
was wrong about the bridge of the nose,
and raised his hand to point out the de-
feet. Damn you, don't you pinch my
nose, cried the alleged wax Figure" to
their astonishment dismay and complete
overthrow as art critics. The sculptor
had induced the real live mayor to help
him in his little scheme.-St. Paul

Witty Toasts.

Good after dinner speakers are among
the most popular of men among people
who cultivate the art of dining. The
flashes of wit which draw forth roars Of
laughter and applause are sometimes un-
premeditated, but probably they are
more frequently thought out and re-
hearsed in advance. Impromptu or not,
we all like a witty speech and witty
toast. Chambers Journal has collected
some witty and amusing toasts given at
banquets, and, in reading them, one can
only sigh, Would had been there!''
A rather cynical toast ran thus: ''Wo-
man-she requires no eulogy: she speaks
for herself"
A gallant young man, under the same
festal circumstances, referred to one
member of the sex he eulogized as "a
delectable dear, SO sweet that honey
would blush in her presence. and treacle
stand appalled,"
At the marriage supper of a deaf and
dumb couple, one guest, in the speech
of the evening, wished them ''unspeak-
able bliss"
A writer of comedies was given a
banquet in honor of his latest work, at
which a jovial guest gave the toast:
"The authors very good health! May
he live to be as old as his jokes"
At another gathering were toasted,
"The bench and the bar: If it were not
for the bar, there would be little use for
the bench"
AS pithy was the following toast, pro-
posed at a shoemaker's dinner: MAY
we have all the women in the country to
shoe, and all the men to boot"

An Irish Dinner in 1547.

Dinner was generally served at p. m.
Itwas abundant to profusion. The wines
were excellent, being the choicest pro-
duce of French and Spanish vineyards,
whose quality was remarked by almost
all visitors to Ireland; and the potations
were, as at the same period in England,
long and deep. Costly silver, handsome
glass and china, and the finest linen ap-
peared in all the better class houses. A
characteristic feature was the potato
ring" This was of silver, richly chased,
and was used to support the great bowl
in which potatoes were then brought
to table. The sequence of courses diff
fered widely from that now general.
Soups came in the third or fourth place;
fish, flesh and sweets jostled each other;
while potted meats and cold pasties were
not unfrequent items on the bill of fare.
For more accurate knowledge of what
our ancestors ate at their principal meal
we are indebted to q chronicler of the
time. In 1747 she sends the following
menu of dinner to her sister; the quaint
spelling is retained: First course-Fish,
beefsteaks, rabbit and onions, fillet of
veal, blamange, cherries, Dutch cheese.
Second course-Turkey, pout poult?]
salmon, picked salmon, grilde [grilse!]
and quaills, little terrene peas, cream,
mushrooms terrene, apple pyc, crabs,
leveret, cheese cakes, almond cream, cur
rants and gooseberries, orange butter.
Dessert-Raspberries and cream, sweet
meats and jelly, strawberries and cream.
She adds: 81 give as little hot meat as
possible. The invitation was to beef
steaks which we are famous for."-

A Lifelong Love.

William Warren, the veteran come
dian of the Boston museum, had a ro-
nance that a newspaper writer has just
made public. Few persons" says he,
"are aware that this comedian. the mer-
riest of the merry, carried a lifelong
hunger in his heart In their earlier
years William Warren and Adelaide
Phillips were lovers. The latter had o
father of the Eccles type. When mar
riage was proposed to her she made this
answer:
II love you, and because love you I
will not marry you. This old man. my
father, is helpless-a sore trial, in truth
and he must look to me while he lives.
/ would not purchase my own happiness
by adding to your burden. Let us wait,
and if the good years to come bring
fruition of our hopes we will live for
each other then. Meanwhile l shall not
cease to love you, nor will l marry any
other man, let the end be what it may"
The lovers went their ways. Father
Phillips, though he abated not jot of
his devotion to gin, lived on and on.
Young Adelaide grew to old womanhood
and the great comedian went on the list
of honored veterans of whom the world
speaks with respect. Still their love
survived, and when at last their weary
waiting ended, and they once more took
up the old question, both found that op-
portunity was come too late.
''They had grown old in singleness;
had formed ineradicable habits; neither
had many years longer to remain, and
well, they would live out their lives in
the way they had followed for genera
ton, and trust to the eternal future to
bring them realization of their early
dream. Adelaide Phillips went first,
the strong base and building of her love-
mistaken to the last. And now the
other, who, like Philip Ray, had waited
all his life, has found the meaning there
is in the august experience of a change
of worlds. Brooklyn Eagle.
