A: the SINE Old Price.

Notwithstanding the advance in
the price Of blank newspaper, and
several Of our exchanges are increas-
ing their subscription price, that Of
the Dispatch will remain the same as
heretofore-one dollar per annum in
advance. To do this, however, we
will have to adhere strictly and in
variably to the cash in advance rule
and consequently forced to strike
from the list the names of all subscrl,
bers who are in arrears after court
week in February. We will regret
to part with a single subscriber, but
business is business and with this
increase in the cost Of paper we can
afford to carry only prompt paying
subscribers. If some subscribers
fail to receive the Dispatch after the
time mentioned they will understand
the reason and are cordially invited
to call at the Office, settle their &C.
count and renew their subscription.

Flowers In MEXICO.

The flowers OF the City OF Mexico are
one Of its chief delights. Roses, violets,
forgetmenots, marguertes and lilies
bloom all the year round. There are few
weeks when a quarter will not buy a
splendid big bunch and when silver dol
lar will not fill the vases in the house to
overlooking. Flowers are sold not only
at the flower market near the cathedral
that is devoted entirely to flowers, straw
berries and birds, but at the other gener-
al market and on the street corners.
The flower girls" of the capital are all
boys and men. At some places In Mexi.
co, particularly Guadalajara, little girls
are to be seen on the streets all day and
in the evening offering boutonnieres for
which they will not set price, but ask
you to give what you please. 1t Is hard
to find flower on sale anywhere after
midday. The flower seller makes up bou-
quets In the most artistic fashion. The
street vendors never sell loose cut flow,
ers, but arrange them upon basework
Of green SO that each flower stands by
itself, aud the whole bunch is prettily
finished with garniture Of green leaves
or ferns. Set pieces are also arranged
with fine sense OF taste and regard for
colors. A pansy wreath three feet across
can frequently be purchased at the mar.
ket for ST..
Flowers are very generally used at fu-
nerals, and it is not an unusual sight to
see casket, even of one of the poorer
class, completely covered with flowers,
wreaths, crosses and baskets in bewilder-
ing array, as it is hurried through the
crowded thoroughfares upon an open
street.-Chicago Record.

nent IN which to notify old man Dav1dg6
Of what was going on, as he had a prom
inent part In the coming scene. and then
we were on the stage. =
The play was "I'he Critic" the scene
burlesque rehearsal Of an old time melo-
drama. Our opportunities were great,
and heaven knows we missed none Of
them. New York audiences are quick,
and in less than three minutes they knew
the actors had taken the bit between
their teeth and were off on a mad race
for fun. Everything seemed to go" We
three knew one another we'll; each would
see another's idea and catch It with the
certainty Of boy catching a ball. The
audience roared with laughter; the car.
penters and scene shutters, against the
rule of the theater, crowded into the en-
frances with answering laughter, but the
man In the box gave 10 sign.
Worse and worse we went on. Mr..
DAILY, white with anger, came behind the
scenes, gasping out, Are they utterly
mad" to the little Frenchman-whom
he had made prompter because he could
not speak English well enough to prompt
us-who, frantically pulling his hair,
crleu: Jul! QUIZ Zey are all mao maO
like re dog in re summer time!"
Mr.. DAILY stamped his feet and cleared
his throat to attract our attention, but,
trusting to Mr.. Matthews protection W.
grinned cheerfulIy ut him and continued
on our downward path. At last we reach
ed the Climax" and suddenly heard
Mr.. Matthews say, "She's got him--lookl
Il think she's wonr'
l could not help til turned my head 10
see il the 'graven image" could really
laugh. Yes, he was moving! his facs
wore some faint expression-but-but-
he was turning slowly to the laughing au-
dience, and the expression on his face
was one of faint wonder
Matthews groaned aloud; the curtais
fell, and DAILY was upon lis. Matthews
said the cause Of the whole business was
that man in the box. Upon this Mr.. DAILY
angrily declared, That man In the boz
could have had nothing to do with the at
fair, since he is deaf and dumb and has
been so all his life"
remember sitting down very hard and
very suddenly. remember Dayidge, who
was an Englishman, blasting" n good
many things under his breath, and then
Matthews exclaiming with wonder that
he had been playing for years in a farce
where this very scene was enacted, the
whole play consisting In the actors eff
forts to win the appreciation Of a man
who was q deaf mute.
