st Johnsbury is said to have had a
carnival of drunkenness and de-
bauchery of late. St Johnsbury voted
no license in March and since then the
express business here has doubled.
"The lily white town Of the lily white
county of Vermont" as the st Johns
bury Republicans dubbed st Johns
bury, Evidently the scale town was
not as lily white as she was painted.
Pride goeth before destruction and
a naughty spirit sometimes precedes a

In Mexico the young men OF fashion
do not get up amateur circuses OF
private theatricals, but amateur bull
fights. All the high life" of the
Mexican capital went out the other
day to the bull ring to see young
men Of the "swagger" set take part
in one of these entertainments. The
bulls were full of fight, and the
young men of Mexico's four hundred
acquitted themselves in a manner
which won the enthusiastic applause
of the aristocratic spectators. WheE
the second bull was about to be dis
patched after having been sufficiently
baited, the report says, Luis Illanes
on taking the sword, offered the bull
to Gov. Corral. After making several
passes, he was rolled over by the
bull; he renewed the attack and de
livered an 'estocada baja contraria,
which laid his enemy in the dust. The
public, in recognition Of his prowess
demanded that the ears of the bull
be given him, this being the browning
act of commentator for an sespada'i
