The occasion, though one pecu

characterized by display OF cheer,
j"lliiy, and spiritual or mental ex-
aIiation. There was kind of con
teniedness, a lack of friv0litv and
foolery in the general run OF thinss,
an api earance which it might be
imagined, shows in company OF
bank directors sitting at a table

disciples accompanied hlm, and
Col. Turner. mine, host of the
Arlington, Keely hotel quarters
al Marysville, was also one of the
welcomed guests attracted to the
