SURVIVORS OF THE MEXICAN
 WAR.

Proposed Reunion of Both Armies.
 Next year the surviving soldiers of the Mexican war will celebrate a memorable anniversary. Fifty years ago the two republics were at war. Now they are at peace. Americans are welcomed everywhere in Mexico. They are engaged in the pursuits of peace all over that republic. They are as sociated with the Mexicans in business enterprises, and each cherishes for the other a mutual esteem. The old Santa Fe trail has been replaced by the rail- roads. The people on the borders fraternize. two governments have the most cordial relations. The president of Mexico is one of the most illustrious statesmen. Peace, education, energy, and enterprise under his wise admini
 stration are transforming Mexico into conditions of the highest civilization and enlightenment. Always land of romance, it is becoming a garden, and
 under the wisdom of Diaz it is taking
 its place among the foremost nations.
 For him Americans have the profound
 est admiration. A ruler so dignified
 and brave has been blessing to that country.
 Fifty years ago the two nations were
 glaring at each other War reared it's horned crest and Mexico was over- whelmed. Now America gives her right hand to her sister and rejoices
 at her prosperity. Then the soldiers of
 Mexico and the United States met each other in the shock of battle, Buena Vista, Churubusco, and Chapultepec
 stirred the blood of the American sol dier and left strain of sadness in the
 heart of the Mexican. Now the Mexi-
 can officers have this year decorated the graves of the American soldiers who lie buried in the cemetery in the city af Mexico, and the Americans, | headed by the American minister, | have placed fragrant and beautiful | flowers on the monument at Cha pultepec dedicated to the memory of l the brave Mexcans who died there in | defense of their country. It is a grace | full tribute to the memory of the men who fought on either side. And the expression comes from Mexico that | the surviving soldiers of the United
 States and Mexico once again in | fraternal union at the semi-centennial | of the war. It would be a tender and | fitting tribute to the veterans for the
 two governments to take suitable and
 grateful recognition of the old soldiers who stood up for their country at home
 and on foreign battlefields, where they won imperishable renoWn through | their bravery and patriotism. m.-Omaha | (Neb. )World-Herald.

: A JOKE ON THE SENATOR.

The old senator was a great story
 teller and related many interesting and
 humorous things of what he had seen
 in public life. One of his favorite stories was at the expense of Senator Fessenden, a warm personal friend.
 The judge and Senator Fessenden had been appointed on a commission. with several others, to treat with the various chiefs of the Sioux nation on an im- portant Indian question of the day. It was long before railways had been introduced into the far West, and the members of the commission had to travel on horseback. Judge Doolittle was chairman of the commission, but as the conference shifted that duty to the shoulders of Senator Fessenden, the latter was highly pleased at the honor conferred on him and much ''puffed up" in consequence. The judge had a method in his madness, however, for he had heard of the peculiar re- ception rendered by the Indians to the

Browns clothes and regardless finer plain duty and rights.
 There can be but one end to this tragedy. It will be what the reporters call sad end" When Miss Mary Jones overlooked the tan shoes and the buH necktie she put MT, Theophilus Brown on the throne. He will smoke In the parlor. He will not go to pink teas. He will not take off his shoes, or even wipe them, when he comes into the house. And he will come into the house just when 1t suits him and no sooner. Alas for her or "she that was Miss Mary Jones'" She isn't anything now, and she wont be any thing until Theophilus Brown is buried in tan shoes and a buff necktie, or she gets divorce from him. Her case is, of course, only sporadic one, but one is enough.

lrRE THEY IALL GnNE2

The surprising statement is going the rounds that the announcement is made by the Smithsonian Institute that it has been impossible to obtain @ single specimen of the wild or passenger pigeon. Notwithstanding a liberal re- ward was offered by the institution and much correspondence carried on, no live wild pigeon has been brought forward.
 Can this be true? Is it possible that this beautiful native American bird is extinct or so near it that one cannot be readily obtained for liberal re- ward? People who are not yet old can remember when there were such large focks of them in the air as to obscure the light of the sun. Hunters yet alive and hunting tell of catching them by hundreds in nets shooting them until tired and knocking them off their roost- ing places in heaps. Are they gone the way of the dodo and the great auk :? It doesn't seem possible, and we hope it isn't. They were ruthlessly slaugh- tered when they were numerous, and the remnants of their vast tribes haven't had any protection, as the In- dians and the buffaloes have. But it will be astonishing if they are all gone: Can anybody in Connecticut produce a wild pigeon, dead or alive?

spokesman of any party of visiting whites.
 At the appointed time the two parties to the conference congregated. There were probably 200 Indian chiefs pre- sent with their wives. Senator Fes- senden advanced to do the honors for the commissioners, when, to his dis may, the whole body of Indians -squaws and all-advanced and, after embracing the chairman, gave him, &C., cording to their custom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doolittle often said he thought Fessenden never quite forgave him for the trick.-Boston Herald.

FASHION NOTES.
Brightness From Stripes and Plaids

Brightness From Stripes and Plaids.
 Plaids in silk, wool and poplins are very stunning and are being worn a great deal, though it takes courage to buy some of the brighter ones. Yet when they are made with good judg- ment they are entirely safe from gar ishness. Women who are a bit afraid of them go in for striped goods instead, and there, too, is fine stock to choose from. These striped stuffs may be made up elaborately, if you like 'em that way, but they are most effective in more simple models. An excellent design for them is sketched herewith, and was found in wooden goods striped in dark and light green. Made with

DANCE AT MOUNT HOLLY.

The Westmorelani Social Club,
through its committee ofarrar gem en.s,
Mtssrs ]. A. Williams, F. ]. Tubman
and H. M. Tayloe, gave one of its Sc.
ries OF entertainments at the Mt. Holly
House last Monday evening, and, in
spite of the pranks of Jupiter PluviuS,
the devotees of ofTerpsichore assembled in
such numbers as TO give the assurance
that an evening of real enjoyment had
been long anticipated. The cheerful
and airy rooms Of the hotel had been
profusely decorated with bunting butthe
special attraction of adornment was the
arcade of twining vines and branches
at one end of the hall, prepared by the
ski!lful hands of Woodward u Lothrop,
the deceptive effect showing finished
garden to the view with vistas open
and its alleys green. Browns orches
ira, of Washington, furnished the mu-
sic, and under its inspiring strains the
ball room was soon filled with pretty
ladies charmingly gowned and hand
some beaus in full dress, whirliDg in
the giddy waltz. 1t would be futile 10
attempt description; suffice the saying
it was fairy like scene and pleasure
was pictured upon each face. At a late
hour refreshments were lavishly served
from prettily decorated tables presided
over by the hostess, Mrs. Griffith, as
sisted by bevy of charming young la
dies. At dawn Of day the music ceased
and happy throng with pleasing mem
cries retired for rest that they might
be prepared to participate in the con.
cert to be given at night.
Among those present were Miss
Bessie Taylor, Mt. Holly; Miss ImogeD
