March Is. 1894.
United States Consular Agency Jeres De
La Frontera.
My Dear Col. Bigger.-How are you?
I send you greeting across the waters.
lust think of my rusticating here in the
very heart of the fair Andalucia.' ! take
the liberty Of enclosing you a circular.
thinking, perhaps. the "Powhatan Club
or some other swell organization in which
you officiate might like to drink some
sherry, what Is sherry" just for
change-some old brown sherry like the
"Old East India" which has Il rich, nutty
flavor and the aroma of which would
fill the hall Of the House Of Delegates.
Two glasses of IT will make you feel
forty years younger. II the Powhatans try

wishes for your health happiness, and
continued public services. remain,
Yours very truly,
W. W. VISOR.
Col. Bigger yesterday sent the following
reply TO MIR. w. W. Wysor:
Dear Mr. Wysor.-Yours received on
yesterday. l had intended 10 write TO you
before receiving your kind remembrance
OF me. | wish | could touch glasses with
you of that good sherry that will re-
iuyenate and invigorate. The Powhatan
club don't use intoxicating or exhilirating
fluids at its wigwam. There are social
clubs here. the palates Of whose members
would not be shocked by such an elegant
wine as YOU write about, but we Of the
Powhatan Club are only workers in the
great Democratic army, and are mere
bewers Of wood and drawers Of water,
and drink only the latter fluid, but tell
YOU If all like us were swept away the
world would find out what Il would be
without us. Some years ago | visited
Cadlz and promenaded the Piazos de la
Constitution, drank the finest chocolate
at the Hotel of the Three Kings, saw the
lovely girls dance at the Teatro de Prln-
cipal, and witnessed bull fight in big
amphitheatre one Sunday evening, where
about 1900 people were present, and
where seventeen horses and eight bulls
were killed. and / was an eye witness Of
ono Of the grandest professions on a
Good Friday. when figures Of life size of
Christ and the Virgin Mary were carried
through the streets. and demonstration OF
a character and proportions not seen on
this side of the great waters
hone your stay may be pleasant. | am
vet busy with enrolled bills. letters, index.
etc Big meetings are being held in an
immense tabernacle erected for Moody
and Sankey. People rush to these meet
,ngs and there are more people on their
feet standing up nightly TO be prayed
for than there are members of the House
ON the floor at the latter part or the ses-
sion asking for bills 10 be taken up out
of their order. but II these suppliants for
mercy are In no better a condition or
mind than these members appear to be
in all the haste. confusion, and rush.
when q session is drawing to a close,
then religion Is powerful factor II 1t can
calm their perturbed spirits. Do you do
as I did when was in Cadiz-eat oranges
and drink wine-and do you do as | didn't
