House Of Commons, which occur from

There have been twenty-five such elec-

GRAVE OF THACKERAY,

Thackeray's grave in Kensal Green
cemetery has recently been the subject
OF some discussion. 1t was pointed
out in the public prints that the state
of the masters resting place was not
all that could be desired, that. indeed,
"envious ivy did around it cling" to
the observation of the inscription. The
remonstrance was quickly followed by
communication stating with salts
faction that the proper authorities
have taken the hint. Thackeray's tomb
is not very far from the main en-
trance. The. ivy which climbs over the
railing encircling the fiat stone has
been neatly trimmed and borders the
slab with a broad frame of foliage.
The inscription (be it said for the ben
eft of those who have never visited

In their hands, they went over TO their
particular corner of the room and
awaited the signal to commence.
A pianist now began to attack his
instrument, and amid a cIatter of
castanets two pairs of dancers sprang
forward and darted into the mysteries
OF the seguidillas, a dance familiar to
Seville, containing eight figures. Each
OF the figures is divided into three
parts and each part having different
steps, the degree of technical excel
fence required may be imagined. The
dancers were Gypsies from the famous
Iriana, and had probably danced all
their lives. Practice had made their
precision perfect; the Unborn love of
dancing made them unconscious that
they were the cynosure of dozens of
Unframed eyes. So spirited were their
eHorts that they impressed the dull
audience with the idea of the DANCES
beauty, and the applause that burst
Iorth when the measure was over in
ulcated beyond doubt how thew had
taken the onlookers by storm. And
truly the applause was merited
throughout the postures were exuui-
site, the movements sinuous and full of
grace, like the coils and curves of a
lovely snake. There was never a sus-
plcion of the angular turns with which
alleged Spanish dancers bring the art
they profess to practice into disrepute
with American audiences.
Perhaps the triumph of the evening
was achieved by the daughter of Fans
tino Rodriguez when she danced tina

were dwarfed when Manuela Rodri-

OF the native danCe-to be in turns GO
coy, daring, disdainful Ana
when after that came the bull-Rgbting
dance, and a measure sacred IN the |
season OF harvest, the point of perfec-
ton seemed to be reached.
During the last few measures the
girls threw their handkerchiefs to va
rious visitors, who returned them at
the end of the dance heavily laden
with silver. Some of the muchlv-mar-
ried men gave their tribute in fear and
trembling, and some few of the ladies
looked askance.

by being stuck on the inside of Jar

they are covered with the seeds of the
sesame, which add very much to the
flavor. Another variety is a large,
