most pleasing to the eye. Some half dozen

placed thereon, the same being heartily en-
joyed by the large crowd of young people
present. Lively salles OF wit, quick repaI-
tee and merry laughter told thst the feast
Intellectual was not omitted, while the vel
vety grass, the gentle rustic of the leavee,
the odor of flowers, the graceful abandon of
the children upon the swsrd, made pic
ture of outdoor happiness that will be treas
ured In each ones gallery of pleasant mem
cries.
Among the Alexapdrians now visit
ing The Plains are the Misses Corse,
Miss Jennie Henderson, Miss Mary
Lannon and Messrs. Gardner Booth,
Lewis Green and John Cochran.

be assumed that the law will always be ap'
