The interview' with papa on such occasions is largely occupied by a pro longed haggle over the amount the suitor is to give until the bargain is adjusted to mutual satisfaction. Then the suitor, highly perfumed with asafoetida, which is the smart scent among Chinese, as it was among the Carthaginians, calls on the bride's mother, and is introduced to the bride, whom it must be understood he has not yet seen. The visit consists largely of bowing, scraping, flourishing the hands, cringing in every posture, every kind of ceremon ial and very little conversation. The lover does not speak one word to his intended and seldom glances toward her. Usually singing and dancing girls come in and furnishjS diversion. He re mains in her presence for two hours or longer, during the whole of which time he does not get a moment alone with his intended, or even a fair look at her face for it is not etiquette for him to scrutin ize her too closely. When he has gone he sends a present. It is a good omen if he sends a gift of eggshells painted every kind of color. All his visits, are conducted on the same plan. He does not get a direct and full view of her tace until they have "gone away," that is, until she has been brought in her palanquin to his house. There is some compensation in the fact that if he does not like her appearance he can send her back home. But this would cause such a scandal and be such an insult to the family that, as a rule, the question of looks is thoroughly in quired into by go-betweens of the fair sex before any serious formal step is tak en in the matter. •-•.-- Stripping for.the'Race.—'.-Tliat is Jlfs Specie there.-- She .is. a* society leader right in the swim.".—-"So? by Jo.velshe dresses for it."—Puck. \-ks4 VOLUME XV.

A large delegation from the st»te of Colorado arrived this fore noon, headed by Gov. Waite, Senator Tidier, ex-Gov. John L. Root. ex-United States Senator Hill, Congressman Bell, T. M. Patterson, President Fiske. of the Pan-American Bimettallic League and Secretary Hutchinson, of the Colorado mining stock exchange. It is expected that the convention will organize slate branches and prepare for public meetings everywhere anc for such other methods of disseminating informa tion as may be found necessary. The leaders of the silver movement held a meeting in ex-Senator 7 nomas M. Patterson's room at the Palmer House to-night to decide upon a chairman for the convention. After three hours' de lioeration, Allen W. Thurman. of Ohio, was leeted. Among those present were Gen. Warner, Senator Reagan, Senator Stewart, B. Clark Wheeler and about thirty others. Senator Stewart Talks, "If the Sherman act is repealed with out substitute being put through," said Senator Stewart, "it will be the greatest calamity that has ever befallen the coun try. It will compell us to borrow money from England on such terms as she may impose. This convention is called to prevent that, and by thorough organiza tion I think we can do it." "Wall street and the Rothschilds, are behind this attempt to depreciate silver" said Judge Murphy, of Arizona, "It ain't so bad with us we stopped silver mining three or four years ago, but- Ave feel the hard times. Its the same all over the West. The destitution is terri ble." Times are hard of course, but what a commentary on the stringency in the money market it is when a "mcrry-*o round" can take in over $300 in one day in a place tlie size of Luverne, and find business enough to keep it here more than a week, and some fakirs with three shells or a slight of hand soap trick, can take in the suckers as fast as they can dispose of them, and a patent medicine fraud can sell 12o bottles of "Nervind"at $1 per bottle, in an hour or so, while an electric bet peddler does early as well.

Napoleon I. was a fatalist, and among his superstitions was a firmly rooted no tion that places and person* that began with ti»e letter possessed immense power over his fortunes for good or for evil. An ingenious Frenchman, evident ly inclined to believe that there wiifc some good ground for Napoleon's faith, makes up the following strange list of Ms: Six marshalls—Massena. Mortier, Marmont.MacDonakl, Murat, and Moncey —without counting twenty-six divison generals. Moreau betrayed him. Mar seilles was the place where he encount era! the greatest difficulties at the com mencement of his career. Marboeuf was the first to suspect his genius and to shove him ahead. His most brilliant battles were Montenotte, Mantua, Miilesimo Mondovi, Marengo, Malta, MontThabor Montmirvil, Mormans, Montereau, Mery Montmartre (assault), Mont-Saint-Jean the last at Waterloo. At the siego of Toulon his first point of attack was Fort Malbousquet. There he singled out Muiron, who covered him with his body on the bridge of Arcole. Milan was the capital of his new kingdom. Moscow was the last town that he took. Menon made him lose Egypt. Miollis was selected to capture Pius. VII. Malet conspired against him. Metternich beat him diplomatically. Maret was his sec retary and his confident. Montalsvet was his minister, and Montesquin his first chamberlain. In March, 1796, he maried Josephine, and in March 1810, he •married Marie Louise. In March 1811, the King of Home was born. Malmason a well-named, unlucky house, was his last residence in France. He surrendered to Captain Maitland. At Saint Helena, Montholon was his companion in capti vity, and Marchand his valet de chambre. He died in May, 1821. The letter also comes to the front in the career of Na poleon III. He married the Countess de Montijo. Morny is not forgotten. In the war ot the Crimea we find Malakoff and Mamelon. In the Italian campaign we find Montebello, Marignon, Magenta, Milan,Mazzini. Toward the close of his career Mexico appears with Maximillian, Meja, and Miramon. In the war with Germany he pinned his faith upon the Mitrailleuse, and the names of Moltke and Metz are conspicuous enough in the history of that campaign.

The Sianu se gmtinnicirt has accepted the full teims of tho Fiench ultnn ituin The substmce of the ultim itum was as follows Fust—A cognition of the lights of An un and Cambodia on the lift oi cist ern bank of the Mekong, as far north as as the twenty-third parallel of latitude. Second—The evacuation within a month of the forts held by the Siamese on the east banks of the river. Third —Full satisfaction for Siamese aggresions against French ships and French sailors on the Menam river. Fourth—The punishment of culprits and provision for the pecuniary indem nity of the victims. Fifth—An indemnity of 2,000,000 francs of various damages sustained by FrencJi subjects. Sixth—The immediate deposit of 3, 000,000 francs to guarantee the payment of the fourth hud fifth claims or the as signment of the taxes in certain districts in lieu of the deposit of 3,000.000 francs. This ultimatum w.is sent on July 19, and forty-tight hours was allowed for Siam to make answer to the French de mauds. On July 21 M. Pa-vie, the French minister at Bangkok presented the ulti matum to Prince Devongse, the Siamese foreign minister, On July 23 Siam replied, stating that the king was at a loss to understand .-.hat the rights of A nam and Cambodia were on the left bank of the Mekong ri ver. The king expressed his willingness to abandon all the territories over which the existence of these rights could be proved and called attention to the fact that five months previously he had pro posed to submit all the contested terri torial questions to international arbitra tion. In the interests of peace, however the king offered to surrender the terri tory as far north as theeighteenth degree of latitude, but no further, and proposed that the island in the Mekong river be used in common by Siam and France. All the other points of the ultimatum wrere conceded. This answer was not satisfactory to France, and subsequently M. Paviewitli drew from Bangkok on a gunboat and the French warships in the Menam river went to Kohsi-Ohang, an island near the head of the Gulf of Siam, where they joined the Grench fleet under command of Admiral Humann. France then de termined to blockade the Siamese coast. There is serious doubt as to the time the blockade was to be made effective. The French government informed the Britisn government that the blockade would be gin July 31, but the British minister at Bangkok later informed the British for eign office that it had commenced on July 26. Lord Rosebery, theBritish for eign minister yesterday asked the French government for a prompt explanation of the conflict in dates, but the answer has not yet been made public. With the ac ceptance of the ultimatum by the Siam ese government the war cloud in the East will of course pass over.
