ODD CELEBRATIONS.
A Dinner to which Only Tilted Folks
Are Invited.

Among the eccentricities of human
nature the celebrating Of queer ami
versaries is perhaps as little noticed as
any. Almost everybody makes merry
over an anniversary Of some sort, and
many of them are anniversaries that
would seem to call for anything rather
than merriment
A caustic sense of humor prompted
a Chicago man to give on the anniver-
sary Of his mother-in-law's death a
dinner at fashionable restaurant to
which were invited such Of his friends
as he considered were CALLED by the
yoke under which he formerly groan-
ed. For time he kept this celebra-
ton secret, but on its coming to the
ears of his wife through the treachery
of one Of his guests that lady prompt
ly imposed an indignant veto. Those
dinners were stopped suddenly and eff
fectually.
Far otherwise the spirit that sug-
gests the convivial gathering held by
worthy tradesman in Boston on May
% of every year. On that day many
years since he met with severe acct
dent which. though it crippled him
for life, was the means Of introducing
him to the life's partner who has
proved for years as devoted a wife as
for weeks she was nurse.
Another instance Of the commemora-
ton of the date Of an accident is af-
forded by lawyer who, having in his
youth fallen among bad ways aid
companions, was only rescued there
from by being flung from wagon
and sustaining broken leg and con-
cussion of the brain. During the long
convalescence that followed the great
ness Of his errors dawned upon him,
so that on his complete recovery he
commenced new life. On the ami
versary Of his spill he always enter
tains such relatives who care to accept
the invitation.
To celebrate the loss of small for
tune that he had inherited from his
father certain merchant holds an
nually high festival. Deprived Of that
he found himself while still a youth
thrown upon his own resources. These
did not fail him, and now, instead of
leading an idle and selfish life on linn
tied means, as but for his loss he
would be doing, he finds himself among
the most opulent and respected citi-
zens Of his native town.
Many years back Brooklyn lady
was thrown over by a man to whom
she was engaged who subsequently
took to drink and other evil courses that
finally landed him in Jail. To mark
her sense Of gratitude for her provi-
dental escape she on the anniversary
Of the day when she first learned that
he had broken troth gives a dinner to
which only those she knows have been
Tilted are eligible as guests.
1.-The happiest and proudest day Of
my life was that on which I first

substantial down east merchant, land
! always keep up the anniversary by
asking lot Of boys-sartorially in the
transition state-to jolly good dinner,
to be followed by an equally jolly
good evening. June 80 Is a red letter

The Englishman is very smart and

this is his greatest fault. Talk about

never known an American who is

average Englishman. He is always

wonder the carciature Of an En-
glishman is met with so frequently
on the stage, for travellers never
forget the Englishman. But the
stage Englishman is not at all like
the real thing. When you first
meet an Englishman, you don't
like him, but before he leaves you,
you discover that he is a pretty good
fellow. He is no joke, as is the
stage Englishman, for he viii hold
up his end in anything, from an
argument to fight, and he always

man had a great row. Finally l
saw Mr.. Moffatt give the milk man
$40 in gold, but it developed after
sailing that the milk man had taken
the twelve bottles of milk away with
him, leaving only the two pint
bottles of cream. Mr.. Moffatt was
IN beautiful rage, but could do
nothing, although he says he has
