Mr. Editor.

U1ht yu uiisseil such fun hh is seldoni
presented in Cuiro.
Tlie Dickens booth developed its hidden
manor, and the make-up of the inntiy chor
acteri was aimply prodiyous. Evidently
tlio greatest cure and attention had been
bestowed upon depicting the proper dress,
and were it not thut all were so excellent,
it might do to particularize.
The dinner yesterday was a most rnm.
plete succces. Everythintr afforded bv the
market of the town was nluceoV before fli
hungry two hundred who partook of th
feast, and the pleasant manner in which tho
ever-genial half-dollar was delivered and
received, was really refreshing. Be it un
derstood that fifty cents includes the price
of admission as well as dinner
which tho fates declare is cheap. The
tables were bountifully supplied with pyr
imidal decorations, while at each plate cos
ily secreted within the folds of the snow
white napkin, was a tiny button hole boti-
uet. The ladies were so attentive, and
displayed so much cordiality that out:
as though the only atonement
full
fir
the inability to eat but (mo
nttr would bo to attempt
the demolishing of another.
The programme to-day and for the even
ing is unusually attractive, and the bill of
fare is something a litte more elaborate
than ever. All those who have fAilcl to Bt.
tend the carnival, should do so to-night,
and especially should all break bread
with the hdies this noon. The cause is a
good one, and the ice cream and strawber
ries are delicious.' Go to night, and if the
Dickens boys ami girls don't make you
laugh, you are dyspeptic, and should call
on the aflablc M. D., who so successfully

HARTMAN'S HALL.
(Communicated )
Editor Bulletin.
Having heard a great deal said in praise
ol the entertainment now being given by
the ladies of the Episcopal church at ILirt-
mans hall, tired, hungry nnd thirsty, wc
found our way thither at noon, to-day, "to
see liow it was ourself and although we
wero prepared to see things nice, as our
ladles are noted for their zeal and style in
giving entertainment, still we were not
prepared to witness the magnificence that
met our eye on entering the hall to day.
Elegantly spread tables filled the spacious
hall, whilo the delightful aroma from rare
flowers, which were placed in rich profusion
on each, floated through the coo!, sweet
atmosphere of the room, charming the
senses as well as the eye. Guests were met
on entering by smiling laced ladies, in
little jaunty caps and white aprons, led
and seated at tables, nnd made to feel at
perfect ease. 'While their attendants dis
pensed choice viands that were fit for kings
and queens, in the greatest
abundance, proving as clearly
that the ladies understand how to
cater to the appetite, as their evening enter
tainments show that they aro capable of
pleasing the eye and instructing the mind.
Those evening entertainments aro so unioue
and novel that none can afford to miss this
rare opportunity of witnessing them. Tho
gaily decorated booths the sweetest and
most charming music; he rich and ludic
rous costumes; the historical nnd beautiful
tableaux in fact, every feature of the
whole evening's entertainment conspires.to
form a pleasing picture in tho mind's eye
that will never be forgotten.
Tho ladies deserve the greatest credit for
this laudable enterprise in tho interest of
the church, and the success with which they
have met must bo ns gratifying to them as
it is to their many friends.

Production of Goal.
The production of coal by tho wholo
world, says M. Simonin, the celebrated
French mining engineer, is 3XJ,(XK,000
tons, which at tho rate of $1.75 a-ton,
tho avcrago valtin nt tho pit's mouth,
represents about $Gi)0,OW,000, or three
times tho value of all tho silver in tho
world. Of this qunntity, England pro
duces one-half and tho United States
60,000,000 tons; then in order of thoir
output comes Germany, Frnnco and
Belgium. China will produce rooro
coal than England its soon as all her
i icu ueposiu are propei ly worked. I
is calculated that all tho coal in tho
world will bo exhausted in eight hun
dred to ono thousand years; but before
that timo tho sun's het'it, which original,
ly produced tho coal, will probably,
judging from tho success attending M.
Monchot's efforts in Algeria, bo "used
direct as tho motive nower.
Facta About Horse3
An "Equestrian Malinger" in Eng
land gives tho following interesting
facts about horses: "
It scarcely needs stating that a good
memory is indispensable in learning
anything. And if a horso has to learn
a trick or routine performance, ho can
only do so by remembering it from time
to timo of going through it. Both horses
and dogs havo woHderftil memories;
but I will narrato one or two instances
relating to the horso.
I was once driving to Lmig-Milford in
Suffolk at a spot wheiv there was a
bridge leading over a river. As wo ft
proached the bridge, tho horse pulled
up, nnd would not move on again with
out whipping. For some time I was nt
a loss to account for this freak; but it
afterward occurred to mo thai the bust
time I had crossed that bridge and with
the same horse, I had pulled up at that
spot to speak to a man.
Unless there is a reason to the con
trary, we always prefer occupying tho
same field each tunc wu visil'a town.
Sometimes it happens that the stud
groom, who is generally with tho first
wagon, forgets which field it is. But by
giving the horse his head and leaving bini
to himself, ho will most certainly pull
up at the right gatr. The groom never
finds him to be. wrong, and drives
straight in.
When in Southampton some years
Bitice, I had to pass up High street daily,
and had a different horso almost every
day. Whichever horse I had he would
slacken speed at the Star Hotel, und
want to turn into tho yard. Upon
mentioning this to the groom, ho ex
plained that, livo years previously, when
the circus was in .Sinilhainpton, tho
stud had been stabled at the Mar, nnd
the horses had not yet forgotten tho
place.
I have my opinion, founded upon closo
and varied observation, that horses can
and do convey to each other very ex
act intelligence by the sounds they pro
duce, from tho proud, sonorous neigh
intr of a full-Miii'ited horse, down to the
whinnying and Mv'lings anil other
little sounds willi which all keepers of
horses aro familiar. Once, in a long
stable containing twenty stalls in a row,
a horso at ono end was dying. Near the
other end was a horse of a timid dispo
sition, which showed marked signs of
cueau ana extreme nervousness, as
though conscious of what was going on;
trembling from head to foot, and
streaming with perspiration. I feel
convinced that intelligence of what was
passing had reached this horse, and
that, being a nervous temperament,
tho poor animal hud boon troubled to
tho painful extent wo had witnessed.

Flowers on Walls.
Travelers in England and Scotland
always admire tho showy, wild, yellow
wall tlowors that grow on old walls. A
late number of Gardening Illustrated
reoommonds tho cultivation of flowers
on walls. "There is a way of growing
llowerson walls in various countries
which desorves more attention than it
has recoived with us. It consists in
leaving tho upper portion of thotorraco
or wall hollow, and using this for flow
ers. Tho crest of tho wall is, in fact, a
narrow flower bordor; but though nar
row, with a space of two or three feet
of soil, from ono foot to three feet
through, thus giving nmple root room
for tho production of a vigorous and
graceful vegetation. Tho architect or
buildor can easily arrange for such wall
vasos. Wo havo often seen very charm
ing effocts produced in this way on tho
continent, even in poor houses, where
littlo evidence of other beauty was to
bo soon. By adopting the principles ot
variety instead of repetition in mieh
Liases, a beautiful eardon of
might bo grown on tho crest of many a
barren wall near or part of a town
house. Hardy plants of a permanent
character should always bo chosen for
such positions, nnd thoso with graceful
foh'ago should havo tho preference A
top dressing of rich soil should be given
yearly, and when ivaII esinKiit,,,.! .,..i.
plants as tho smaller yuccas, acan
thuscs.etc, would make a charmin"
