The heaviest tlaece weighed 18 puui:da, eff of a one year old ewe. A farmer cf my acquaintance, whose business is chietly raiding hogs, had one acre of artichokes, :wo or three years ago ; he now ha% six acres, and talks of planting f.mr more. !!■ ca>s that in some years one acre of artichokes is woith three of corn, and that a buiall piece, accordiug to the Mmberaf hot; 8. will any year bo worth 111 , r - than the same area of core.

Soon busy bands went to work to beautify their capita!— the Ger man Florence — and prepare a hearty wel come for their dearly-beloved Emperor. Standards appear* il on the Augustus bridge, over the Kile, and over which it was announced tho royal procession mast pass 03 its way from tho S^hlesian station iv Neustadt to the ciatle in Altstadt. Tnese were decorated with stars, shields and wreaths ; while high over all floated the black, red and white Btripes of Germany, the pretty green avi white flag of Saxony, the Mack and orangu of Austria and the weapons and black eagle of Prussia. OS THE CASTLE .S^IAKB, Between the bridge and the entrance to the castle of the Saxon Kiog, a migniti cent triumphal arch was erected at an ex pense of "20,000 marks. This, beyond (juestioD, v.-.ii the most gigantic effort made in the province of decoration. From an immense tuttrees, on each side of the passage, roifc two graceful Corinthian col umns. Tnese were beautifully ornamented with fruit, (lowers and the German eagle, and each surmounted with the golden crown of the Emperor, symbolic of the four generations of tho royal family united in the person of Wilhelm I. Between the c ilumns, both at the right and left of the thoroughfare, flags filled the space. These displaced tmblemttical figuns on the in st ie, and the black eagle and weapons of Pruseis on the outside. Oa the right, Vesta, with her festive torch, scattering llowers over the way, represented love, under which was inscribed in golden let ters, '-Liebe Dam L->hn " (Lave, Your It* war!). Victoria on the opposite side with her laurel wreath, which she ex tended to the K»iser, represented fame, under which was ir.s;ribed, "llhumDein Leben " (Fam°, Your Lift). On the in fiids of th« pedestals was tho well known watchword of Gr»f Moltke, "AOentt treu bcrcit fur dos Il»iches Herrliehkeit " (Ready at all times for the glory of the Realm). Between the columns bearing the f. ur royal crowns was stretched a golden netting thickly ituJded with the Kaiser's favorite lioaer, korn blumen (bachelor's button). This testing was decorated on in'.h side 3by beautifully-draped lambre qui-isof purpie and gold, with fringe and ta^seU 5j match. Behind the high col- H'ia», between four ciudelabra, were smaller columns bearing basins of choice II >vr<rs, while within a balustrade on either sida wa3 a smill garden. The porta's wore riu! !y decorated with eagles, weapons and Gerijia;i tUvja. TIIK SPKITACLK Streets were swept and garnished, win dows were scoureil, decorated and rented at fabulous prices. Show windows fairly bristled with Kaiaerp, Kings and Princes, la some a bust of the Emperor appeared, crowned with laurel, together with the King and Queen of Saxony ; in others a painting of the Kaiser, sitting in his palace at Bjrlin, surrounded by the various ob jects of his well-known room. Now he appeared in marble lavishly decorated with korn blumen, then in chocolate crowned with laurel. In a window of a cafe stood a mammoth cake surmounti d by the Em peror Wilhelm and the Crown Prince, Frederick William, both on horseback. The Panopticon displayed the Kaissr and Sixou K-ng side by tide, both wearing innumerable badges and orders. Picture stores vitd with each other ja decorative ingenuity. Generally a copy of the peer less Sistine M* lonn* occupied the enter, around which clustered all other emana tions of the artist's brain. Tribunes and ttagea were erected near the station end bridge. The Albert Square was put in readiness fir the school children. These were t.iught their eong of welcome and promised a holiday. "Kahcr blumen" were peddled frnni one end of Saxony to ths other. Although it has rained in Gsr- Doany nearly every day for the past year, no apprehensions of bad weather were en ttrtiined for the eventful Mth of Septem ber, for the people said, " We shall have Kaistr weather ; good luck always follows the Kalsjr." And so they all worked on to mike their city beautiful for the coming of the King. The nearer the day, the higher mounted the enthusiasm of the peo ple. Many, however, felt a subdued joy in the anticipation of this great event in the hi3tory of Dresden, for, said they, " In all probability our goxl Kaiser will never came to see us again." THE EVENING ARRIVES. F.nally the evening of the 13th arrived ; the work was done, and the Queen of the Elbe shone in all the beauty of a gala uni form. Both A!t3tads and Neustadt liberally streaued with bunting of every eizs and color. Germans name from all quarters of S xjny cud Gtrmaay, and strangerj from all quarters of the globo. Every hotel artd private boarding house wa3 crowded. The children Mid '"If jou're waking, call me e^r'y," and all retired with glorious visions of the morrow. Alas ! Thursday morning, September i 4th, came; the wind sighed mournfully and the rain pattered dismally. Sidly the digs drooped and ti'.ently the people moved about under their dripping umbrella*. Aud sill arms persisted, •' It must be fine ; Hie Kaiser is always lucky '." Noon came, and stiil it rained. Abcut 1 i o'clock the people bejan to assemble on the bridges, on the terrace over the E be and on the beautifully Hacged steamboats and kondolan near the br dges. F.fteen differ ent associations and as many more Staging Vert ins, with lljgs and banners, stationed themselves in their appointed places ; the school children in whKe raiment gathered on the Albert ■Square ne-^r the station, aDrf before ."i o'cl iek — for the Gerrnaus can outetand any nation cm the face of tlie carth — there was a solid phalanx of human beings on each I side of thf. street from the station in Ntu atadt to th 3 castle in Alts*a;U. Soon the windows were tilled, then tha tribunes and stage?, and stiil it rained ; r.ot a pour ing, diiving rain, but a miserable rln/zle, 1 which made tho people 10 -k wilted ami i crestfallon as they ehruuk undor their | dripping umbrellas. Ev^n tren Boaie hope- j ful sunny fouis reiterated " Kaiser weather yet; the Kaiser is always lucky !'' And sure enough, at a quarter Lefore 3 o'clock, just as the united peals of all the church 1 hells in the ciry had announced the arrival uf the train, the rain ceased and the mists BCgM to roll away. Down went the um brelHs and smiles spread over the faces of tho waiting throng. AT THE STATION, Besides Saxon oiScere, nobility and other persons of authority, were assembled rep rtsentatives from Belglnm, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mex ico, Austria, Russia, Norway and Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, BvJcn and Mecklenburg. Hig Majesty King Albert of Saxony and his brother, Prmoa George, both in the uniform of the Prussian regiment, awaited his Majesty the Knser. Every eye was strained to citch a ghmp-e of the approaching royal traip, wnich, as it neired, was greeted wicb a military ra'ute and the l'rairiin national air. Tha Kaiser stepped frcm the salon w*gan and embraced both Kins; and Prince in the most hearty mtnner. Tn«n followed a general greeting of the ajeenbied an I newly-arrived Princ-s, after whioh they all proceeded over tho b-autiinl carpet, tinder the canopy, between flowers, garlanda and flags, to the royal cquipjges. The pro cossion was beaded by a carriage contain ing the Captain o! the bistric;, Yon E:n fiedel, and the President oi the Police, Schuanca, fallowed by the Service Eqm page of the Master of the Hone, Yon Ebroitein ; directly before toe royalty rode a division uf tbe (.icnuami; Cur^t, led by j the Captain of Police Nehrhoff yon Hol derberg. The uproar of the throng wu deafening as His Majesty Kaiser Wilheitn I. and Hia Majesty King Albert now stepped into the open half-chaise, drawn by four iiehly-d< orated horses. This royal equippage was followed by eleven two horse carriages, which were occupied as^ follows : Crown Prince Friederich, Wilhelm of Prussia and Prince George of Saxony, Grand Duke Wiadimir of Knssi* and Duke Johann Albrecht ff Mecklec burg-Schwenn, the Princes Wilhelm (son of the Crown Prmce) and Fiiedeiich Carl of Prussia, Prince Albrecht of Prussia and Dake Ernst of Sachsen-Altenburg, the Grand Duke of Sachsea-Weimar and the Crown Prince of Sachsen-Meiningcn-Hild bunghausen, the Princes Heinrich of Reuse and Schwarzburg Rudoistadt, | Priace Friederich August of Saxony and his Adjutant. Field Mirshal Graf Moltke and General-Lieutenant yon Aibedill, Graf L-ihndorf and Prince Radziwill : finally, Adjutants cf the Princes, General-Lieu tenant yon Carlowitz and General- Lieuten ant yon Enact, BEHIND THE Eyril\\<;ES Rode a section of the Gendarme corps, which closed the royal train. Handkerchiefs A-aved and cheers were heard from all sides as the procession moved onward to Albert Square, where from the united voices of 3,500 pupils and teachers echoed the eong of welcome, "So aei Gegrusst Viel Tausendmal." Here, as the proces- Bion halted, a beautiful little girl stepped forward and handed a bouquet and a vel vet-bound copy of the greeting song to the Kaiser. His Majesty received both with thanks and smiles of gratitude, while a tu multuous shout burst from the crowd. The Oberburgermeister, Dr. Stubel, then delivered a short address opening as fol lows : Allerdurehlauehti^ster, Grossmachtigster Kaiser uml X nig ! Allergnudijhrter Kaiser und Herr ! And closing with the exultant shout, in which all the people joined, " Hooh L?be se, Majeatat der Deutsche Kaiser!" As this shout of jubilee arose, his Majesty the Kaiser turned to his Majesty Kiog Albert and pressed him warmly by the hand ; then addressing the Oberburgermeister the friendly Emperor thanked him kindly and the train moved on. Handkerchiefs flut tered thick as anowflakes, and no sooner had the shouts of welcome for the Kaiaer subsided than they rose again at the sight of the highly esteemed Field Marshal Graf Moltke. Kaiser, King and Prince saluted the people cordially, right and left, till finally the train had crossed the bridge, passed under the triumphal arch and dis appeared in the cuurt of the castle. In the evening the R>yal Theater was resplendent in festive array. The upper fnyer and au.litorium were most brilliantly illuminated. " D^s Goldene Kreuz" had been ordered for the entertainment of the distinguished guetts ; and coon after the opening of the opera the family of Prince George appeared ia one of the royal boxes. The lirst rauk now began to be filled with nobiliiy, G rm&n and foreign otiicers, all i glittering in badges and military uniforms. Towards S o'clock his Majesty, Kaiser Wil helm, accompa. ied by the King and (^acea of Ssxony, appeared ia the great royal box, followed by Frcderich Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Prussia. Oa the appear ance cf the Emperor, THE ENTIRE BOOBS AROSE ! And with a defeaning "Noch," accom panied by a crash from the orchestra, they greeted their much-loved King and Em peror. On Friday, 15th, a grand parade of the Royal Sixou Army Corps took place at , Riesa. Crowds waited round the station and castle to obtain a gliinp9e of the occu pants of the royal carriage as they drove to and from the depot. At 6in the after ! noon a grand parade dinner, including all , the representatives from foreign courts, was given at the castle. " Die Yersuch crin " was ordered at the theater for the evening's entertainment. After the first day it was utterly impossible to obtain a ticket for the theater, for any night during the stay of hia Majesty. On Saturday, the 10 :h, the maneuvers of the army corps took pace at Riesa. The court and for eign otiicers drove through solid phalanxes of people both 10 and from the station, and loud and long were the cheers as the royal family or Graf Moltke rode by. At 5 o'clock the Princes and < Jenerals at the royal table, while the foreign oinceis, at the same hour, dived at the two priDci p»l hotels. The performance at the thea ttr for this evening was short, atd at '.' o'clock all the military bands of Saxony assembled at Theater Square, aud a gran 1 concert was given. "Den Konig Segnet Gott" and other patriotic airs were diatiu guished by those iortunate mough to get within hearing of tho square. THE ROYAL CATHOLIC dirndl Oa this occasion presented a most ludi crous appearance. Built in rococo style, it is ornamented with numberless tiataM set in liiclies. These niches were now crowded with living, moving statues, who • leaned rpun and clung to th-e old btone apostles, priests and skints with a fervor not to be excelled by any religious devotee. Oa Sunday, the entire city was in commo tion, from early dawn till close of day. At [ 10 it was annouoc.-d the Kaiser would be at the " Sophien Kirche," aud although he was not there, the people were, all the Earns. At 1 o'clock a grand exhibition and parade of so'diers took place at Neusfa-H. AH thia time preparations were giing on in the "Groa?en Girten"for the annual " Albert fast," and at 1 o'clock or earlier the people bc:g»n to tljck thither. A por tion of tha park \va reserved for these festivities and guardeJ, so that no one could enter s»ve thoso provided with tick ets. Eighteen thousand, however, had tickets, and made that particular portion of ihe park one living mass of human l>e iu^?. Tho Albert Association, founded by Quetn Carola of Saxony, holds thia jubilee once a ytar frr tho purpose of raising | money for the invalids and iudigents of Saxony. Being established by the Qaeen, the titled u\i aristocratic, as well as the artists of the community, take a lively in terest in tho afl\iir. Tnac portion of the ! "Grossen G.irten" which was reserved for the festivities of the day included the Rietchel Museum — originally a summer residence buils by Augustus the Strong — and the lake. AROfSD THE I.AKK, With a wide thoroughfare between, were stationed fancy booths, presided over by pretty actresses and ladies of distinction, all in attractive costume!. Here they sold tlowers, lottery tickeU, pfefTer kuchen and I every kind of beer known or unknown. Up and down the lake glided Venetian gon dotM, filled v- • h ladiea in moat wonderful costumes, and plied by gondoliers who might have been mistaken for rainbows in 1 their mauy-hued garment*. Between the | musenm and the lake stood the royal tent. I This was riciily decorated and surmounted iby glittering crowns. One side commanded I a view nf the picturesque- lake and the other the front of the muaeum. Oa the opposite side of the museum teuts were erected, in and around which red-capped solJiers lounged, while their arms were sta-ked in front in the most camp-like atti tude. A large space at a little diftaac* from the lake was devoted to the illust.n- j tion cf pypsylife. Here over one huadrci I persona of all ages, with old bony h..r :-..-. ! tumble-down wagons and carts, bundle? • I hay, jugs, rags, donkeys, tamborines, old stoves and c joking utensils, exhibited all the different phases of Bohemian life. Tail corner attracted crowds of people, before whom the gypsies sometimes danced madly to the tinkling of wild music, and of whom they sometimes begged with a fervor that would put a pauper to shame. This was called a true picture ; one feature, how ever, was quite overlooked — they did not tell fortunes. Not far from this scene a cimp th:ater was represented, which was -ni.. to have been the custom as late as the time of Napoleon 111. Military bands were stationed in different parts of the park, who alternated with each other and lur.ushed classical music for the entire afternoon. But the crowning event of the occasion was THE HOMAGE OF ART Beautifully illustrated by an association consisting of actors, painters, sculptors and musicians. No sooner had the Kaiser, King, Prince* and officers assembled in the royal tent, than a gay ly- dressed herald adorned with the black eagle issued from the portal of the muaeum and anacunced that Ihc ceremony would begin. Immedi- ately the Fine Arts, in costumes of by-gone days, surrounded by pages, slowly de scended the outer staircase and approached the roy*l tent. Frau'.ein Ulrich (the favor ite court actress), representing Poetry, then stepped before the Kaiser, and, in well chosen words, declared the allegiance of her art. Her sister arts, bearing their sym bols, now approached with wreaths and garlands of korn blumen and laurel, and laid them humbly at the feet of the Ksiser. These now grouped themselves around the two decorated columns and platforms ; the under portal of the museum opened, and out stepped a procession of oddly dressed men carrying long, broad lances, followed by a train of warriors and hun ters. All soon arranged themselves on both sides of the space between the mu seum and THE nOYAI. TEST, Leaving ample room for the military band and knights in armor, who soon appeared. During all this time the windows of the museum had been filled with figures in the dress and colors of all times and ages ; there were patricians, noblemen, senators, kings, queens, generals of the Thirty Years' War, citizens, workmen, men, women and children. These now slowly descended the steps and arranged them selves in picturesque groups in the vicin ity uf the royal tent. Just at this moment Herr yon Golz, representing Lucas Cranach the elder, stepped before the Princes, and in a short, neat speech expressed his homage, adding that the hand which held the pal lette or chisel was also ready to wield the sword when enemies threatened the beloved Fatherland. This declaration of allegiance being often interrupted by the applause of the audience, the knights clanked their weapons, and the speaker was allowed to proceed to the end. After he had finished, and the up roar had subsided, a strain of soft melody tilled the air, and in the upper central niche of the museum appeared the white winged angel of Peace. His blessing on Kaiser, King, people and land closed with "Hail to the Kaiser!" in which all the people joined with a loud voice. The angel then scattered llowers from his well-filled horn of plenty and disappeared. This beautiful ceremony being ended, the assem bled IVnces, together with the entire body of artist, made a circuit of the lake, fol l"wed by one long- continued round of ap plause. The royal guests then departed, and the vast concjurse of people amused themselves ad libitum. THE FIELD MASECVEKS. I*j the ISth the field maneuvers were continued at Riesa, to which people flocked by thousands. Here a magnificent Turkish tent, taken in battle, was removed from the Historical Museum, and set up in the field for the uae of tho royal guests. In the evening a grand illumination took place ; both banks of the Kibe twinkled with white lights, while all the ships were resplendent with Bengal decorationo ; bright ra\ s streamed from house, hotel and cafe. Tho theater closed at 9, End as all tho church bells rang in unison the lights oa the right bank of the Elbe changed to brilliant red, and on the left to dazzling green, while the sky fairly blazsd with fire works. Military banda, singiDg vereins, young men and old mm provided with red and while lampp, fifteen thousand in all, assembled on the theater Eqaare. After a few selections were given by ti.e bands a procession formed, •rineh marched to the Altmarht Square. lltro tho military bands played the " Wach am Rhoin," and peo ple joined with heart ami voice in their favorite song. The " Li-npioa Zjg " then dippersed aud the people retired. Oa the l'.Hh mmeuvera v.ere continuod at Riese. Iv the evening a grand concert was given in the castle court. On Wednesday his Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm L, Princes and oticers took their departure. During these days of festivity the " Kaiser wetter " continued ; and notwithstanding the crowds which thronged the streets, the utmost good order prevailed. The police were here, there and everywhere, and their efficiency was a never-ending subject of discussion and admiration among the strangers. The city has now resumed the even tenor of its way, and the clouds dispense their favors as usual. F. W. THE QUIET HOUR.

HOW TO GST UP AH AUTHORS' CAB NIVAL. The Saa Francisco Carnival— What It Is —What It Is For— The Worry Of the Workers In It. [CorrespoDdence of the Kecqr.d-Ukion.l San Francisco, October 13, 1882. Sitting up to see the comet and forget ting to look at it, or Betting an alarm-clock for half-past 4, and imprecating all comets and your folly when the trusty mechanism inexorably whizzed its matutinal song, were common experiences last week. Still everyone saw the comet once, and it is unanimously conceded that it makes a fine appearance. It certainly looks as if it had a baleful intention of charging headlong down upon This litel ap»t of erth that with the se Embraced is, as Chaucer of indifferent orthography is pleased to call the planet we inhabit ; one half understands the superstitious dread comets used to awaken in impressionable people. Astronomical intluences may be adverse, but the life of the city is bright. For example, Governor Stanford enter tained fcrty gentlemen at dinner Friday night, a farewell to General McDowell ; and Sir Thomaß Hesketh, just before leav ing San Francisco, was inspired to pur chase Theodore Wores' realistic picture, "A Shop in Chinatown," for 51.25 G. The painting has been on view at the studio and public galleries before being sent to its owner in England. It will be a unique, half-fantastic sight in an English picture gallery. it is oono To meet one of Mr. Wores' little models, a small Chinaboy about Sevan years old, shooting out of the elevator and scuttling down the corridor, confidently reaching up to the bronze knob of the studio door, considerably above the red button on his cap. Preparations for the Authors' Carnival continue. The openinz night has been postponed to the 231 of October, owing to the backwardness of the street re pairs going on in front of the Pa vilion building. Arthur Clough, in his poem " Amours de Voyage," finally resolves all sentiment into an affair of juxtaposi tion, and then sets everything back into vagueness again by languidly ending the canto with the question, "WHAT IS JUXTAPOSITION ?'' So &11 San Francisco, having by tacit con sent fallen into a good-natured interest hi a coming show called tho Authors' Car nival, would be somewhat perplexed to answer all in a moment the question "Just what is this Author's Carnival 7 ' Macy cities produce public-spirited men who en dow charitable institutions, maoy citie3 give chanty balls, whence we derive that asylums, bhelters, homes and hospitals, not under the care of the State, need a lar^e sum of money annually to keep them out of debt and able to continue to ben' lit the needy in an extended sphere of '■■(■c'ulnes?, A fair has baen the thiog resorted to lime out of mind to provide this ready money, and an Authors' Carnival is a fair on a magnificent scale. There are a few so • called rich charities which of course were not asked to join the Carnival Association, but at last, by cor respondence, or, more effectually, by "talking it up" among the Directors, six of the more needy institutions were brought by a common aim to join themselves in a corporation known as the Authors' Carni val Association, having for its object to give an entertainment consisting of series of tableaux and scenes from different au thors, or picturesque characteristics of nations and races, tho net proceeds of which entertainment were to be divided equally among, the charities formiDg the association. Two persons were chofen from each charity to form tn executive board and officers were elected. Tuu ex ecutivc board ia COMPOSED or i.amks, The President and TreiEurer are necessa rily gentlemen. It was decided at ones that each charity should have four booths, and the two ladies representing each char ity instantly sought those of their ac quaintances whom they knew by experi ence or hearsay to be possessed of literary or dramatic ability, aud implored them to think of some author cr artist, musical composor or traveler whose creations or re corded observations cculd be realized by punted flats and fair women aud brave imnin poses of grace. The talents of these clever persona being enlisted, their names were curolled as the "General X jard cf Managers ;" they in turn procured the assistance of still more practical directors, whose names again figured as " Booth Managers." The next important move was to obtain a guarantee fund for paying labor. A great xtage has to be built and nearly twenty four smaller ones in the booths, scenery must be painted, a general stage director and property man engaged at once, and all these operatives must be paid at the end of every week. The guarantee fund is nothing moro nor less tban subscriptions in money from rich and generous men. Sub scription books were put into the hinds of the people willing to solicit donations for charity's sake, the collected sums are paid into the Association's treasury, and the Carnival is started on a payiug basis, and the fond foolish hearts of the mechanic.) ! are soothed to rest. They know they will bo paid. To the task nf finding partici pant?, as they are called — the ilntmati* person" of the (Vnival — Executive Com mittee, General Board and Broth Mana gers bent every nerve. This year it proved exceedingly difficult to find tho proper number of proper p-ople to take part in the booths'. One booth made it self riirely unpopular at the outset by dis missing a good-natured applicant with the remark that there were only places for CIKLS WITH CLASSICAL FEATURES. Be it understood that all participants go into the Carnival for glory ; the longest dark eyes in the world would not place their owner in the Turkish booth, nor the lowest forehead and most pointed chin se cure their possessor the entre of the Egypt ian booth, if she expected remuneration for her services. The unhappy booth man agers, when they come to cast characters, must apply to their friends and their friends' friends, and then trust to the wandering stars whom vunity, ennui or curiosity prompt tn tile participants' applications with U.e Executive Committee, ilemuner ative booths, as they are called, received a great deal of attention this year. Ice cream and candy tied ready sale among a crowd of pleasure setkers, and each charity was allowed to make one out of the four a booth where refreshments might be sold. The Kenilworth Castle itself is in reality a supper table in a baronial hall, when: Lei cester will give you Eindwichea and Amy Kobsart beg you to take some more salad. The disentangling of expenses to be borne by the Aosociation at large, from extra ex penses to be borne by the charities who chose to be extravagant ia scenic display, was settled by a resolution that tr.e Csrai val A«B3ciati»in should erect the walla and scenes of the booths, and PAY FOB GOODIES And breakages in the lestaurant depart ment oat of the common treasury, but each charity should bear the expenses of fitting up the booths, of any epecial scenic tffecta that might be ordered and of cos tuming participants where the latter were unable to provide goa'.umes and were too fair to be spared. The money made by the sale of eatables is also turned into the com mon treaaury of the Association. Each buoth in preparing a programme of exer cises is required to contribute some tableau ,to the grand stage — erected entirely across one end of the Pavilion — each of the six societies being allowed possession of the i I grand stage two evenings — not consecu i tive —ia the twelve of the Carnival. Tne Executive Committee of course con- I ducts the business part of the whole affair, selects the place where the Carnival shall Uke place, makes the lease, elects a business manager, considers bid* from ap- plicants for labor, for music, for printing. The characteristics in the Executive Co'ja mittee are so marked that, after attending two meetings of the committee, given the representative who starts a movement and you can tell to a dead certainty which way every member will jump. The twelve di vide off into these elements : Combative, acquisitive, indolent, conscientious, indif ferent, apprehensive. Mr. Martin J. Burke preside* over this menagerie of dispositions with a tact and judgment nothing short of inspired. It is worth watching when he comes in with two or three necessary meas ures in his mind which he means to carry through. He usually has a atatement made by some one else, and then says, " Ladies, you hear what has been eaid ; now what ac tion will you take ? " There is A STORM OF OrPOBITIOX. Three minutes recess is given, the meeting is called to order, a majority votes "aye" on the debated measure. How does he do it? On poor Mr. Gilmore, the manager, the Coroner's verdict on the sth of November will be : "By the visitation of Carnival Committees,' and all Sin Francisco will understand and drop a sympathizing tear. Out in the wicked world the weak are promptly crushed and the superfluous elbowed out of the way ; but in the Pa vilion the twelve of the Executive Com mittee and the fifty of the General Board and the twenty-four special booth man- I agers, all have equal rights, none are weak, none superfluous, and what man shall aibi trate when ladieß disagree ? We all know the consequences of Paris' rash judgment, ! and he did not confront eighty-six goddssses ail desirous of planting Olympian booths in exactly the same space. The other side deserves a hearing, too — a great many mag nanimous concessions of dispute! points have bt-en made. The absurd nickname of the " Worm Ladies" arose for those friends of the cocoon, the members from the S;lk cnlture Society, and some one improvised "Hebress" for the daughters of Israel; but thee is very little punning or funning at the Pavilion ; THE WORK IS TOO UARK FOR THAT, The dutie3 of the Finance, Ticket and Booth Committees ; the printing and adver tising that must bj done, and not over done ; the ordering of the scene-painters, who must be both directed and conciliated ; the necessary begging for donations, and reduced ratea for sugar, gas, electric lights, cotton cloth, carriages, and, above all, en gaging, costuming acd posing the twenty, 'our times thirty young men and women who expect to rejoice the eyes of their more immediate circle by a distinguished appearance as the Ghost of the heroine of the " Mistletoe Bough," or a Gothic (Sraf. All thi?, even with much division of labor and responsibility, and after two Bi'milar experiences, makes an Authors' Carnival an intricate and fatiguing undertaking, and only the string excitement which naturally ariees from the maseini; together of numbers el people would give the women nerve enough to carry it successfully to its end. But the end is worth whiie ; it gives any number of hard-worked, imagination starved people twelva nights of gaslight aud glitttr, acd one or two well-arranged representations of the celebrated 6cene3 and paintings of the world. Those to whom the;e things arc new may perhaps 1)0 stimulated to inquire into them and tied out the woik of tbe beauty-set-king pirt of the wnrld, End those who always loved will love the more. THE BOOTHS At the Carnival of '83 are as follow* : Literary and Artistic — Chaucer, Victor Hugo, Homer, Pre-Ilaphaelite, Washing. | ton Irving, Longfellow, Dore Gallery. | Picturesque — Louis XVI. acd Legend of the Water- Lily, Terra Cotta, Chinese, Kate Greenaway, Military, Japanese Tea House. Mußical — Salle de Concert and Old Folks booth. Remunerative — Kenil worth Castle, Oyster Grotto, Cafe dcs Champa Elysees, Soda Fountain, Duke of Warwick's Terjanto' Festival and Villa I d'Este. A Bonbon booth and so-called Floral Temple are also remunerative booths. Unforeseen questions come up for decision occasionally. An " Old Southern Home" was contemplated for one of the booths, where the participants were to be negroes aud corn-hmkicg, cotton-picking and kitc'nen scenes were to be given, with good banjo-playiug snd singing. I sudden i.y ' The rumor v.as heard, no one knew quite from where, that all the rest of the partici pants in all tie other booths would secede, depart and be no more £ten if colored peo ple were to take part in the Carnival. It was understood that this was a white Carnival, and if color was introduced the contract for Caucasians was off. Twenty four times forty white people were more important to the Carnival than thirty " darkies," though each one were more di verting than the preceding. It wag put to a vote — the Old Southern Home, good night ! A Emoking room, however, has been promised, and a row of electric lights for the outside of the building, and if good natured help from the whole city and hard wcrk by the Association amount to any thing, the Authors' Carnival should be very gay, and well worth going to see. PuiLir Shirley. A MARBLEHEAD DOG. One of the delights of oar expedition to Marblehead (writes a correspondent of a Boston paper) was an experience with a dog. A gentleman living about half a mile from the beach came down to see what the party had to eat, and brought with him a fcixty-pound bulldog. It seemed to be a good-natured beast aud frolicked playfully during the day. About ti o'clock the gen tleman went home, and everybody sup ! poßed the dog went with him. We found, nowever, that he had not. The day being warm, the tntire party had taken off their coats and hung tbem in tin garret ot a lit tle shanty wuere the cooking wus done. As evening cime it grew cooler. The breeze came off the watt r as the tun weut down, and we concluded to put our coats on. We quietly did into the ahanly and etaried up the ateep, narrow and rickety stair*. At the top we found the do r ;. Furthermore, we found that he objected to our coming up. In the dim light we could see blood in his eye. We went back with out our coat. Presently the chief of the fire department went in to get hia coat, and he came back without it, too. But he said nothing, and several othera tried the experiment, and came back the same way. Bat finally one gentleman couldn't stand it, and upoke of the dog. Tnat broKe the ioe, and we decided to the dog down. We threw things at him and tried tv scare him away, bus he only growled eavagely. Then one of the parly stood at the foot of the &t»ir9 and lied like a pirate, aayinc; : "Nioe dog ! Good old fellow ! Come, Towser!" But Towser was proof agiinst il dUr.,. It bad grown quite dark, aud the braeasWM com ing aljup brisk, and everybody was ehiv enn£. Meat was offered to the dt>g to get him away, but he wouldn't have it. Things began to be blue. The handaome yachts man asked if somebody present couldn't swear ? The chitf of the department, being a fireman, of course didn't know a profane word, and neither did any of the rest of as. Tne doctor said if anybody would go up and throw the dog out he'd cauterize the bites free of charge, and oar friond of the legal fraternity said he'd give his ser vices in a suit for damages. Bat nobody volunteered. The very heavy gentleman said if he could get on the rcof and drop j throu^u on the dog he could break the ani- I Dial's bSck, but before saying this he took care to observb that there was no way to get on the roof. Therb -raa only one taing to do, and we did it. We sent half a mile to g«t the dog's owner. And while we waited for him wo sat and Bhivered and chattel ed our teeth, and told each other it was funny, and inwardly thought of things that wouldn't look well in print. And we treated the owner of that deg very politely till he had sent the dog home and we had got our coats. Then if we didn't tell him what we thought of the brute, no matter. A young lady, being addressed by a gentleman much older than herself, ob served that the only objection she had to a union with him was the probability of hi« dying before her and leaving her to the sorrows of widowhood. To which he made the complimentary reply : " Blessed is the man who hath a virtuous wife, for the number of hia dayi shall be doubled."— [Ex. ■ » • Redcisq's Kturia Salre meets with wonder ful sacceM in ail cases tf i kin iii.ea»e.
