The King of the Heavens had lust
surrendered his reign to the queen, the
moon, last Tuesday night, when a
number of young folks could be seen
driving southwark, to the Stanley
grove, to partase of a moonlight pic
mic. What time is so dear as the mem
cries of these, when the chirp of the
cricket and the screech of the katy-did
is stopped by the merry voices of the
jewellers of the night? The wonderful
blending of moonlight and shade seem
to awaken in the minds thoughts only
of the quiet beauty of life from, which
they wish to sip so much pleasure.
The night peals of merry laughter
rang upon the evening breeze as sallies
of wit was met by still brighter wit.
They all spent a delightful evening
and were glad that they had been
there. The following is the list of those
present: Messers Will Baylor, Nelson

An Anecdote Of greeley.

A call was once made by dozen
noted artists of the Academy Of De-
sign, in 1870, on Horace Greeley. Mr..
Clarence Cook. then the art critic of
The Tribune, had been saying things
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs of that es-
tablishment to boil with Indignation.
One day a committee went down to
The Tribune to complain. Mr.. Greeley,
having listened in silence to what these
gentlemen had to say. looked up from
his desk. twinkle in his eye. and
said. with his peculiar nasal falsetto:
Gentlemen, l judge from your re-
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed in The Tribune.
Good morning."

large hats, art coming to the assistance
of nature II the plume grown on the
wing of the bird should lack in length
for the modisteis demand: abundant
use will be found for demi-long plumes
on hats of every description in vogue;
and full clusters Of the short plumes
and head tips will hold up brims, and
otherwise appear in the garnishing OF
fashionable hats Mountings of small
tips supplemented by a wisp aigrette
will continue to trim bonnets. Com
