Todaytas the grc.it day of tlio carniva
and from morning until night , and fii
into tlio night , the city has been th
BCOIIO nf extraordinary buetlo and activ
ity. Canal street wns particularly rcsorl
cd to , and it waa linally crowded wit
people of all sorts , colors and condition'
from curb to curb nnd from wall to wal
of the entire 1225 foot of its width. Th
balconies that line both sides of th
street , rising on tiers one above the ether
or almost to the roofa of the houses , wcr
loaded with people , many of them ladio
in brilliant toilets. The weather wa
superb , the sky bright and the air a
warm and balmy as in May in th
Middle states , the thormomoto
standing at 70 ° at ii o'clock in th
afternoon. It is not in exaggeration t
say that from ono of the lady-ladun bal
conies that overlooked Canal street thor
wore in the range of vision 50,000 pee
plo. About 11 o'clock the fantastical ) ;
'
costumed outriders of Ilex heralded th'
approach of the grout procession , which
assembling tno combined strength of fou
associations , ith their moving seonc
and panoramic views of tlmir subjecte
sacred , heroic , romantic nnd liumoroue
extended for miles in length , mustorin
100 cars of scenic illustrations , fiOi
horses and i',000 men. There wore full
a score ot brass bands dispersed at inter

Solomon , the sago of the oasti Israel' '
greatest king appeared in royal slat
seated on an eloratpd thronu borne on
car of great magnificence. The car am
the support to the throne were docoratci
with gold work and painted panels cm
boftsod with gems. Beneath a canopy n
gay design was seated the king , in a chai
inlaid with gold and ivory , and cushionc
with crimson cloth. The royal attir
was as rich as that of Solomon in all hi
glory. His roho was of brocaded silk
richly embroidered with gold ; his ampl
cloak , of moire antique , with golden boi
derand tassels ; his stockings and glovn
of ailk , his shoes of gold ololh ; his girdl
woven of gold thread ; his glittorin
crown was studded with the richest gem
and around his nock was a necklace r
pearls and sparkling jewels. A lie
crouched at the monarch's feet. A seric
of ancient lamps or censers on slendc
pillars ran around the oval periphery c
the car , with festoons of flowers betwoer
Two harpers and horn blowers holdin
those instruments and dressed in th
picturesque Jewish garb , occupied th
space in front of the throne , and bahin
were stationed three Israelite soldiers , i
martial array and armed with long spoai
and broad bucklers. The car was draw
by six horses , and at the sides , in fron
and rnar , walked thirty slaves in part
colored tunics and horned helmets an
caps after the Egyptian fashion.
Borne on a gaily decorated car an
preceding the king , was the giganti
"Biuuf Gras , " A superb specimen of th
bovine species. This lordly bull wr
decked with garlands and attended b
four Egyptian slaughterers in the cus
tumo of that country.

cars , gorgeously hued nnd profuaol
gilded , bearing artistic tableauxrepreson
ing the history of the Semitic races , ii
eluding Phu'nicians , Hebrews , Arabian
Asiatics , and inhabitants of ci rtain po :
lions of Africa. Komarkablo events <
scenes in the history of these poop
were enosen for illustrations , and th
wealth of the royal treasury was draw
upon to provide the most costly co
tumos and appointments for the pagean
The first scene presented Nimrod , U
mighty hunter against the Lord. No :

THE IIKIUB OF HEX.
The gentle and lovely young girl whoi
Ilex had chosen for his queen was Mi :
Annie Howard , daughter of Mr. Charh
T. Howard , the Louisiana lottery kinj
The young queen's manner was very gn
cious and dignified , and charmed all b <
holders. The cos tumo worn by the quec
was exceedingly rich and beautiful , bi

The Now York Mail says : Bartli
Campbell has often been called n yirat
by lens successful dramatic authors. Bi
poor John Braugham envied him becaui
of that length of neck wherewith natui
had endowed him , rendering the elm
actonstio reason that Campbell must 1
able to on joy ono glais of whisky twii
us lonu as ho could. Mr , Campbell hi
long hair , which ho pushes back fie
his forehead as ho talks , nnd throuv
which ho runs his fingers in a caressir
fashion. Efo has a place on Statcn Islam
but during the preparations for the iin
duction of "Separation" ho has bet

the success of 'Separation' as I have <

mine. It is by retaining the ownonhi

"Thntrns n little the toughest ridn

The judge had jint returned from n

know how they were getting along , nn
also to become personally familiar wit

curiosity has been satisfied. Likewip
that of his son H. T. Coulter , nnd Fran
L. Peck , clerk of Clear Crook count ]
They were companions nnd in quest c
the same object , that of discovering th
nature of the weather in lloutt count ]
They found it , and told about it in tli
Elotol Brunswick.
"Yes , it was grotty tough , and it cam
pretty near proving a climax to all futu *
operations in cattle , so far as three of n
were concerned. Wo loft Dunvor abet

This was last M indai .
At that hour thor'o wns a change.
Imvo heard of changes , nnd suddc
changes , but the change that struck i
while on those sand hills was the moi
extensive change in the sanm length i
time that over came under my observe
turn. The weather became frigidly coh
and the snow came in such volume th :
it was at times impossible to BOO tt
honsoa. Then it began drifting friihtfu ;
ly , until progress was almost nnpossibl
Suddenly it dawned upon us that wo we ;
lost , and tuining the heads of the horsi
attempted to retrace our stops. But tin
proved futile , for the snow had tilled i
and obliterated every vestige of n tracl
Wo gave up. Just then Billy Adair , tl
mail carrier , came aloii ) ' , and when 1
said he could got through , wo turned fli
horses heads nnd followed him.
"Soon after Adair announced that 1

n favor of thu latter , if the blizzard ke ;

dpcd a very discouraging one , and
niht came upon us the wind increased
velocity and howled and moaned as
navor did before , and the party on top
the sand hills with no hope for relief.
"Wo had stopped nnd hold consult

to pursue wo concluded to pursun th
course , and that was to make a sort
protector from the wind of the boxes

chances , if necessary , of perishing ai

Bishop 1'icrco'n GoldiMi "VV
Bishop Pierce , of Georgia , writes a
follows to n religious paper in the soutli
The "golden wedding" hai como MM
; ono. _ It wns n joyful occasion ration
ul , religious , Cnristian in its coromonie
and its impressions. It wns indeed
'amily reunion , nnd the number proseii
ranks mo among the patriarchs , or n
east head of the tribo. Wo had man
{ rootings nnd congratulations froi
Honda far nnd near present nnd absen
letters filled with good wishes nn
Christian sentiments , from Connection
: o Colorado.
My daily coraospondonco I count the
: ho hardest work t do. The late nvn
lanoho of epistles I hnvo conoludod t
answer through the prose. A month
writing would not sullico if I were ti
tnko them ono by ono. The notabl
jvont has quickened the poetic vein , toi
like the breath of spring , nnd charinin
verses hove poured in upon us fro )
north nnd south. My musu has folde
her wings long since and rest * voicolei
in her retreat. She cannot respond t
her moro youthful mates. I am shut u
tu silence or to print.
It is duo to nay that in my letter nt
nouncing days of biith nnd marriage
ouly pioposod to gratify friends , who di
mnndod it of mo. My suggestion t
Florida , Virginia nnd Ooorgin , as to tl
oranges , oysters nnd cigars was n moi
piece of pleas iiitry , which I thougl
everybody would understand. Yet , I
bo candid , I thought wine of these migl
como. Beyond this I had no expect
tions. 1 neither asked nor hinted. Bi
numerous friends had other thought
They have aent us oranges , oysters , ci
ars , presents useful and ornamental , an
monoy. The last perhaps the most in
poi taut , because 1 notded it. This no inn
know und never would , unices they lia
nsked mo the question direct. I u
sometimes empty-handed , and when bn
supplied have never seen the day when
could not have used profitably and rolhj
ounly moro than I had. The gifts whit
came in have been received with unu
loyed gratification. I , wo , nccopt the
thankfully , and prize thorn not only fi
their intrinsic value , but as exprossioi
of love and good will. Friendship , that
( Jed , is jiot all a name , the poet to tl
contrary notwithstanding. Wo hm
many friends , nnd hnvo hnd nil nlon
who nro faithful nnd true. In nny ox
goncy , if need bo , I would no to the
for help with ns much confidence as
childhood I wont to my parents.
I have given n long life and hard lab
to the church nnd my nntivo state , ni
to them I devote the remainder of n
days. I have simply tried to do n
duty. I claim nothing , deserve nuthin
and fool amply remunerated in the r
spoct , confidence and love of my bret
ron and fellow citirons. In thin resprc
ai the late event developed , I am rich
than I know. My interest in the kit
wishes of the good nnd the prayers of tl
faithful is nn investment from which
shnll draw daily consolation.
Now , to gratify curiosity in part ui
to forestall rumors , lot mo say that
cannot state precisely the value of thin ;
received , and would not if I could , bi
will ndd that wo have been very plea
nntly hnlpod , though not largely ondoi
od. To all concerned , witli no co
plaint and thousand thanks nnd prnyc
for nil , yours truly , O. F. PIIMCK.
