I A Mexican BulNflght. The following description of a bullfight in Mexico, is from Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote's article, "A Diligence Journey in Mexico,'' in the Century \ Magazine : We drove into Muravaitio k at high noon of a fiesta,?the circumciaion of our Lord?a day which might lL have been made on purpose for a holiday, if all days of this season in Mexico were not perfect. It was a warmer, more southern-looking town than j Toluca, on the high table-lands, with ; more tropical fruits in its markets and less clothing on its dark children. The rancheros and country people, iu their best sarapes and rebozos, bad come down to attend the bull-fight, and were sitting about on the stone benches of the vunny little plaza, in motionless content. A continuousprccession of sandalshod feet ehnffled along the sidewalk under the'arches of the portales ; gayly dressed horse-men, in braided leather jackets, and tight trouser-legs blazing -i i?? rnnt-a,i witn buttons, paeon men muo-iuuvcu ponies through the streets, often with * a friend accommcdated behind. We sat in the deep stone-window of the hotel, looking out on the bright yet strangely listless, throng, and parcook of ices handed in at the window by a street vender, who having, served us, passed od down the street, trailing behind him the diminuendo repetitions of his long, musical cry " A'i e-re " The returning stage from Morelia had not arrived; there were bad, very bad roads ahead, and no further effort was made to proceed that day. "If not to-day, to-morrow," is a Mexican proverb. Possibly the driver did not care to turn his back on a bull-fight. A procession of toreros, in their brilliant costumes, uplifting a huge garland of banderilias and accompanied by a band paraded the streets. We could not see the figures distinctly; but we heard the music?the thrilling dance-music of the country. As an invitation to the tores, nothing could nave ueen Deuer. It did not perceptibly stir the loungers on tie stone benches; they were already convinced; but I, who abhorred the thing, and would not go in the capital, fell suddenly under the spell of a senseless, intoxicating music, and begged A to take me to the bull-fight with the rest of the town! It seemed that all the town did not go, for we were obliged, in Teaching the entrance, to press through a crowd (that " smelled of heaven") of humble Maravatians, who remained outside because of their extieme poverty, not from any lack of taste for the popular amusement. We mounted a perilous wooden ladder to the scaffolding surronndiug the arena. The entire stiucture had been reared without aid of nails or saw; the timbers showed the shaping blows of the ax, and were lashed together with ' ropes of maguey. It may not have been particularly safe, but was quite in keeping with the performance we had come to tee, which resembled the scenes in a Roman arena as this rude amphitheater did the Colosseum. The city authorities sat in the place of the Caesars ; from the stall below the band played the national airs, to accompany a dance of clowns, wnicn was im?rupted by cries of " Turn, Tore ! " from the spectators. In the great blue arc of sky above tlie densely packed scats the buzzards mounted, wheeled and sank. One mountain peak looked down at us dispassionately from a long way ofl It was a very vulgar horror. Of all the figures in the arena the bull seemed by far the noblest. In the pauses oi his charges he fa ml his throng or persecutors with a large eyed bewilderment, pawing the dust, and taking quick breaths of excitement. The space was too email for anything but bctchery ; there was little skill shown in defense by the men?nDt even very fine horsemanship. The spiritless blindfolded horses were wantonly sacrificed? absolutely thrust upon the'bull's horns. In less than ten minutes one was wour ded to death. A put his hand fcetore my eyes ; and, indeed, I could not have looked, for I was seized witb an uncontrollable fit of nervous crying No nerves, not trained !to it for gen erations, could have stood it?th< cries, the music, the peril?for wretch ed burlesque as it was, the simple fac of death was before our eyes. W< went out ignominiously, with all th< dnrir-PYPd women arouud looking at ui \?ith fixed curiosity. The Society Boy. The other evening there was a littL company up on Joralemon street, an< during tl . entertainment the hostes dragged J r hopeful to the front t< "speak a iece." "Come, Johnny, like a good bov and speak Marys little lamb for th ladies and gent lemon." Johnny kr.ew that there was remnn eration in the background, and th preliminaries having been arranged ii an undertore, he wet his thumb, siicke* his hair and started in : . " Mai y had a little ticoco, Its enow was white as wool, And every time that Mary laml>ed That fleece would go to school." "Now, now, Johnny," said hi mother, " yon krow that isn't righl t Say it just as you did this afternoo ? and I'll litre she broke into maternal whisper, and the inevitabl uuiskxiuc; luiurtt uy "Mary bad a little lamb Whose white wus snow a- fleece, And everywhere that Mar}* went That lamb would go a piece." "Johnny, Johnny," chided tb mother. " That isn't quite right. Spea it right this time. The ladies and gei tleraen never heard it. Now go on." Once moro the common and ine: tinguishable fraud went at it: "Mary had a little snow, v Its flcoc-; was lined with vhito, And everywhere the lamb would go, Mary was sure to bite." " What a naughty boy!" exclaim? the proud mother, who had been trait ing the cub ail llie afternoon forth display. "Now speak it right < mamma won't kiss you when you f to bed." Thus encouraged the insect perp trated himself once more: " Mary had a littlo wool, It's Ileece wa.< white as snow, And every one 'hat Mary fleeced 1110 Willie was sure lusuun. " I'm ashamed of you, Johnny, th you don't speak it right. You must < it this time or mamma will have punish yon." " I won't!" bawled the urchin. I But his mother promised him sor additional candies or buns or elams something that had the great social ai vantage of laying heavy on his stomac - and the wretch began to bawl: "Mary bail a little school, Its sijow was llt'cce as Iamb, Ami e verywhere that Mary went, You'd snreiy Situ! that ram."' Thf.n the guests very properly intc fered, and said it was a shame to t< ment the sweet child. He had do nobly, and .should have his pav rig off.

Cloth CoMumos. Cloth is the fashionable woolen fabric for street costumes this winter. It is worn in all its varieties, such as the smooth habit cloth called Amazon or lady's cloth, the tricot, which is in small figures like armure, and the rough-finished Cbeviots like those worn by gentlemen. The simple and stylish cloth suits made by a tailor, are perhaps most in favor, though there are many imported costumes of cloth that are far more showy. The tailor-made suits rely upon their fino fit for their beauty, as they have no trimmings but the usual rows of machine stitching, and some plaiting on the bottom of the skirt; later in the winter a border of fur will be placed around the skirt, and a separate collar and cuffs of fur will be added to the coat For slen' 1 C der iaaies ine uasijutrs ui sutu uxcooco are made double-breasted, with a single box-plait closely stitched down each front, and one double box plait in the back. A slit is left open each side of the back, between the middle forms and side forms. A wide stitched belt is strapped on the side seams; there is a slit for a breast pocket, and side pockets also; the collar is Byron shape, and the caffs are square. If the basque is intended for a full figure the plaits are omitted, ani it is a simple postilion basque, single or double breasted, straight around or shorter on the hips, as best suits the wearer's taste. The skirt is cut off about the knee and box plaiting is added to finish out the length, or else the skirt is entirely plain, with several rows of stitching near the foot, and this is afterward trimmed with a border of fur. The overskirt is draped permanently on the lower skirt, being sewed in the same belt. This may be i thA ni-flinarv round aprcn, or it may be I pointed lev/ on one side. The bouffant - appearance given many new dresses is not congruous with these suits, and tailors say with pleasure that bnstles eanf not be worn with the costumes they maKo as the heavy fabric will weight them j down. For very young ladies the newest cloth basque is very short, being only three inches below the waist, and 'his s often a separate piece sewed to a round waist and curved in the front below the waist line. For the street a ! coat of cloth may be added, and warmly liued. This may be single-breasted, I but is most often double-breasted, and is of medium length, with two box plaits behind. The cloths imported by tailors are of excellent quality, and cost usually 85 a yard. Eight yards is the average quantity required for a suit. The range of prices for such suits is | from 875 to 8125; with the lowestpriced suits there is no extra coat for the street. Tailors protest agaiust the rise of braid ana irogs on cioiu cus' tnmes, but ladies who have their own fancies carried out insist upon having tuese additions in the way of trimming. The thick tubular braid about a fourth of an inch w:de is put around the skirt and overskirt in parallel rows, and the : basque has trefoil trimming of braid across the bust, on the cuffs, the corners of the Byron collar, and on the I middle forms of the back. Imported cloth costumes are more elaborately draped and trimmed than the stylishly-eevere suits made to or. der. Plush is the trimming most used j upon these, and this is usually of b contrasting color, and the polonaise is \ j the favorite overdress for such suits I I A long, simply-shaped polonaise o: ' I myrtle or bronze-green cloth ha.* i double-breasted fronts fastened diago ' j nallv by bronze or old silver buttons j and the collar and cuffs are of ombre ' striped t>lnsh shading from ecru t< I I I a?A ?lv,oli in loo | green, ur tMso uwnucu ! pattern is used in dark-red shades, 01 perhaps green shades. The skirt then qnite plain, with two great box plaits behind, a cluster of side-plait: f down the middle of the front, and i , wide border at the foot of the plus! trimming. The leopard-spotted plus] 1 is also liked for trimming dark-brown ' tan-colored and ecru plush suits fo [ young ladies; these yonthful-lookin, ' diesses have a little pelerine cape ?, ^ the plush, also a muff, and sometime a turban. The London suits of clot " have braiding upon them in design rather too elaborate to suit fastidion tastes, and sometimes cloths of tw shades are used in the same costumi the darker shade forming the principi part of the costume, and stitched band e plaitings, collar, cuffs and pockets, ai 1 swering for trimming, are made of tb s lighter shade. Blocks, stripes an o small checks of Cheviots are chosen t young ladies for their cloth suits, an ', | in these the Prussian blue shades ai e j very fashionable, also the copper red } seal brown trimmed with green, or tl opposite of this?green cloth wit e brown plush accessories?and final o the mustard and olive shades of Chevii 3 : with dark garnet plush, or else sapphii blue or myrtle green.

THANKSGIVING ?At7 < 1 Illntorr of (he Dny In Old Proclamations? ' Purltnn. Dutch, Pntrlotlc. 1 Thanksgiving days are sequents of ( past welfare. They become retrospec- 1 tive periods during which the divine J bestowals of private and public blessings is gratefully recognized. Their history in this part of America begins as early as the year 1621. The peculiar circumstances which led to the setting of a period of thanksgiving by the Pilgrims are described by Edward Winslow in a letter dated Piymoutli, December 11, 1621. Of the 102 emigrants who ; had landed on the 11th (old style; 01 December, 1620, on the bleak coast of Cape Cod bay, almost a half of that number had sickness and died, and nearly all of the remainder had physi! eally suffered from destitution and the i rigors of tlio first winter in the new I country. The prudence and industry I of the few persons that were not disabled were so greatly blessed as to call | forth the thankfulness of tbe favored people, "in a special manner." "Yon sliall understand that in this ! little time that a few of us have been | here wo have built seven dwellings | houses and four for the use of the plantation, and have made preparations for divers others. We set the last spring some twenty acres of barley and peas; and according to the manuer of the Indians, we manured our ground with herrings, or rather shads, which we have in great abundance and take with great ease at our doors. Our corn did prove well; and, God be praised, wo bad a good increase of Indian corn, and our barley indifferent good, but our peas not worth the gathering, for we feared they were too late sown. They came up very well and blossomed, but the ; sun parched them in the blossom " Oar harvest being gotten in, our governor *ent four men on a fowling that we might, after a special manner, rejoice together after we had the fruit of our labor. They, four, in one dav killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At that time, among other re! creations, wo exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amoug us, and ' among the rest their great king, Massasoyt, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation I and bestowed on our governor and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always bo plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet, by tho goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty." The great abuudance of wild turkeys abounding in the neighboring forests no doubt supplied the Puritans with , J the fowl sufficient for their hospitality. The turkey which now is so highly prized by the people of the United Slates for Thanksgiving dinners may have in this way obtained its peculiar prominence among the viands of the table. i The people of New Netherland at a [ very early date observed days of thanks.} giving. Among the Dutch records at tim conrot.ftir of state are ) | tilt: UiUUU KJk wuv , i preserved proclamations of thanksgiv> ing days in 1615 and 1657 of the couni j cil of New Netherland.

On i j the thirty-first of August, 1645, the j council, sitting at Fort Amsterdam (New , ; York), [; Resolved in council to proclaim a gen? eral thanksgiving, which thanksgiving . shall take place on the sixth of Sept j tember next in all the Dutch and Eng. i lish churches within the limits of New > ! Netherland. { The proclamation reads: r " Wiieheas, It hath pleased Almighty i God, in His unbounded clemency and . mercy, in addition to many previous s blessings, to suffer us to reach a longa wished-for peace with the Indians; a " Therefore is it deemed necessary to h proclaim the fact to all those of New t i Netherland, to the end that in all r places within the aforesaid country g where Dutch anil English churches are ,f established God Almighty may be ---11? -r\yn icofl or?rl V) I g j Kpccittllj Lliauiitu, pwiovvi ^ ? h on next Wednesday forenoon, being s I bo sixth of September, the text to be ig appropriate and tlie sermon to be apo plicable thereto. 3f | " Your reverence will please an il Donnce this matter to the congregation s, next Snnday, so that they may have i- notice. On which we rely." ie This proclamation, as Bet forth in thf d text, was issued on tko ratification of c iy ; treaty of peace between the Dutch anc d the Indians. The forenoon of the da;j rG was set apart for tbe religious services s, , and it is likely the afternoon was giver ie to social pleasures. h ) The proclamation of Petrus Stuy [v ; vesant, or rather of the council of Nev 3t Netberland, in 1657, is loDger than th< re one of 1G45, and is more particular ii expressing what shall bo the manner o j the observance of the day and in for : bidding certain secular and worldly ac tivities and pleasures. er On the possession of New Netherlan* il- by the English, Edmund Audros beini ! governor, the council sitting on June 1 n- i 1675, ordered : nl "That Wednesday, ye 23d oi tm Instant month, be appointed throughou a(} ye government a day of Thanksgivin , and Prayers to Almighty God for all Hi Past Deliverances and blessings an Present Mercies to us, and to pray y n' I continuauco and Encrense thereof." es The surrender of General Burgoyn to General Gates at Saratoga, in th i fall of 1777, induced the members c on | the Continental Congress to take th ! following action on Friday, October 3: rn | 1777: >ft | " Jtesnlred, That a committee of thre j be appointed to prepare a recommendi ?r- j tion to the several States to set apart ng j day for thanksgivng foo the signal sm i cess lately obtained over the enemi< js of these United States." jJ, 1 The members chosen as that con lt" i mittee were Samuel Adams, Iiichar j Henry Lee and Daniel Roberdeau. ^s't On Saturday, November 1, 1777, t? na committee reported, and Thursday, tl: >n> j 18th day of December, was set apart i | a clay of "solemn thanksgiving an lift i 7f ~ j praisu. ; In compliance with the order of Coi is i press the army at V?!Jey Forge du ch : observed the day.

The following extract is from one oi the letters of the New York Herald correspondent, who made a canoe voyage down the Missouri, accompanied bj Captain Boyton, the latter being in his rubber suit: ^ The temperature was below freezing point when ihe captain entered th< water on Thursday afternoon, and I be gan to realize that there were warmei habitations to be found than a canvas canoe. Fortunately we were protectee in a measure from the wind "by rangei of "gumbo" hills, through which w< paddled all the afternoon. These bleal masses are composed of a sticky substance, which becomes qnito slippery ii ! wet weather. Not a blade of grass wil grow upon it, except here and then where the natural soil rises to ?he sur face. The rain had worn little creek t in the ravines, and as we passed dowi , the river hundreds of cascades tinklei musically, and their waters gu6hed int j the Missouri and accelerated the cui L rent, much to the satisfaction of th [ captain, who is anxious to work south r ward before winter sets in. Ducks an other wild fowl cowered in niches o [ wherever they could gain a foothol under the banks to escape th . keen wind. The sky was overcaj 7 and not a ray of sunshine appeare 3 exccpt a momentary gleam during j slight rain shower which occurred { 5 o'clock. Shortly afterward the rive . narrowed considerably, and wo wer forced to paddle through a fleet < snags close to the west ahore. Upc 3 examining the shores closely the pre ence of the snags were explained I ' hundreds of beaver slides which wei ' worn in the muddy slopes. Scores < s trees freshly felled by these industr ^ ous little animals lay upon the groun g in all directions. I saw one hugo co 8 tonwood prostrate, the trunk of whie] (j nearly two feet in diameter, had bee e gnawed as neatly as if it had been ci j with a fine edged tool. It is i e mistake to suppose tbat tne oeaver 0 almost extinct in America. The ban] of the Missouri are completely hiv< e with beaver holes, and on the tributa: [ brooks they are numbered by hnndrei ' of thousands. Wo met several tra !e pers who were plying their trade j small covered boats. Some of them hi a accumulated 100 skin?, ranging in van c. frhm $1 to $5 each, but. the majori ;s were merely able to obtain a living, ai had to work hard to accomplish ev< j. that.

A bema.uk able scene is said to have' taken placo at a recent cabinet meeting between tho President and Attorney-General McVeagh. According to the published account of tho affair the President took the attorney-general to task for not being prepared in tho Guiteau case and personally pushing it to trial. Tho attorney-general replied that he did not consider it any part of his business to give attention to criminal prosecutions. The President replied that this was a great state trial, and that tho whole country looked to Mr. ilacVeagh to see that it was conducted properly and efiiciently. Mr. MacVeagh said that there was no law or custom for the attorney-general to appear in oriminal trials, and said he had been told so by Judgo Jeremiah Black. Tho President then quoted the case of Aaron Burr, and the attor ney-gonoral replied that that was a trial for treason. " Yea," tho President is reported to have said, "and this is a trial for murdering the chief magistrate of the nation, and to my mind it is the positive duty of the attorneygeneral to take charge of tho case." Mr. MacVeagh then reiterated that the law never contemplated that as any part of his duty. Finaily, tho President said he was determined that the government should have able counsel, and he would himself direct, if Mr. MacVeagb declined to do so, that Judge John K. Porter, of New York, and Walter Davidge, of Washington, be employed as additional counsel in tho prosecution of Guiteau. All of tho late President Garfield's effects wore removed from the White House a few days ago and sent to Mrs. Garfield at Cleveland, Ohio. Ex-Secretahv Wisdom denies tho correctness of the reported scene in the cabinet between President Arthur and Attorney General MacVeagli. He saystho President did not take Mr. Mac Veagli to task for not pushing the Guiteau case, as was reported, and that there was the best of fueling between tho President and all tho members of the cabinet.

Mr. Cook, special counsel icr uie government, addressed tho eonrt in explanation of the circumstances which had mado such a course of procedure necessary, and in vindication of himself and tho attorney-general Counsel for the government stated the decision was hut a temporary embarrassment, that tho process by indictment could still bo employed, and that they now proposed to employ it.

'i- -\JGeneral Sheridan's Report. General Sheridan's official report ha? been forwarded to tho general of tne army. IJc shows that peace has generally prevailed in tho different departments during the past year. Referring to Sitting Bull he says: "Sitting Bull was not a chief, but was the leader of a small band of about sixty lodges, who hold with him tho samo feelings of bitter opposition toward being civilized. He was in tho outskirts of tho fight with Custer, but not conspicuous, and shortly afterward struck out witli his small band for British Columbia, beinK subsequently followed, from necessity, by other bands of Sioux. I ha%-o seen in the newspapers long accounts and narratives purporting to be descriptions of Custer's battle, as related by Sitting Bull, which had, in my opinion, but little truth in them; and historians are cautioned against receiving them as correct. The Northern Chcyennes and Qgallala Sioux ? tho former under two or three of their principal chiefs, and the latter under-Crazy Horse as their leaders?did the fighting at the battle of Little Horn when Custer fell." In tho department of tho Platte there were no events of military importance, and the military field operations in Texas during tho vear a 1 crxoll milliner yyuiu uuuliucu iu iuo |/momv \j L diumi* parties from Mexico. Tho ono which did tho moat damage was severely chastised by First Lieutenant John L. Bullis, Twenty-fourth Infantry. Ho reiterates what he has said in former reports, that the army is much too small to efficiently and economically perform tho duties required of it. He recommends greater activity in enlistments, which, ho says, could ho brought about by a modification the rigid standards of weight and height for recruits. In tho department of tho Missouri small raiding parties of Apache Indians, the remnant of Victorious baud, joined by a few young men from the Mescalero reservation, in all not to exceed sixty in number, caused widespread alarm and serious loss of life in Southern New Mexico last winter. Tho band came in from Mexico, south of Fort Cummings, and, after making a raid of extraordinary boldness, recrossed into Mexico near their point of entrance. The general advises that, if possible, the consent of tho Moxican government bo obtained for our troops to cross and catch this band of freebooters, or, at least, to break down tho confidence with which tho boundary line inspires them in their ability to escape punishment. Report of the General of the Army. Gt-neral Sherman has submitted his annual report to tho secretary of war inclosing the repotts of Generals Drum and Sackett and the reports of tho commanding generals of the divisions and departments. General Sherman save, referring to the reports of the latter, that they all show that our companies aro too small for efficient discipline atul lor economical service, and it is recommended that Congress ropeal the clause of tho existing law which limits the enlisted force of the army at 25,000 men. Considerable space is devoted to a discussion of tho subjects of officer's servants, General Sherman maintaining "that no soldier should ever be compelled to do menial labor without compensation or without his own consent, and he recommends that tho existing law be repealed or modified so as to secure this end. Referring to West Point, he says it has been, and must continue to be, tho fountain source of military education in time of peace. In his judgment tho military academy at West Point fullills its uses and can be safely intrusted to prepare Ijoys to become soldiers of the future. General Sherman submits a statement of the actual number of the enlisted men in the regular army, compiled from returns received at the adjutant-general's office up to October 15, showing the force to have been at that date as follows: Cavalry. G.892; artillery, 2,403; in hmtry, 10,530; total combatants, 19,815; nonconibatant* (of tlio engineer battalion, ordnanco department, recruiting Bex-vice, signal corps, etc.), 3,781. Total enlisted force of tho army, 23,51)6. The general, after speaking of the usefulness of many forts, tho care of which devolves upon tlio army, says: "I recommend that you apply to Congress for authority to submit the whole question of coast defenso to a board of high otticers of all arms of tho service, who shall report to the secretary of war what coast forts shall bo maintained, what sit>-s shall be retained for future use, and what may be absolutely sold; and further, that authority be I granted the President to sell the same, subject to any conditions which Congress may impose." Tlio Trouble in Ireland. A manifesto signed by Patrick Egan has been privately circulated throughout Ireland advising farmers to pay no rent., to avoid the land court and to hold the harvest. The London Standard says that the government contemplates tho formation of four more sub-commissions under the land act The Dublin Gazette announces that tho number of suspects imprisoned is 244. The number of applications to the land commissioner to tlx fair rent has reached 1(5,000. The homo rule league has toned a manifesto to tho Irish people initiating a campaign in favnr of local Beli'-erovernient. with an im perial senato to manago the affairs of the British empire. Landlords and tenants in Ireland aro beginning to compromise their differences, the former on account of tho eweeping reductions of rent made by tho land commission and the latter on account of tho expense attending applications to the court. Tho tenants upon the estate of Sir.John Ennu have unanimously resolved to demand an abatement of their rents. In tho event of a refusal, they will apply to tho land court. There are upward of 3.000 tenants on the estate. A healthful moonlight evening is good for building houses. No mone] is required, only talk.
