Lonis Globe-Damoerat, New Orreans, La., February 26 To-day was the great day of the carnival, and from morning until night, and far into the night, the city has been the scene of extraordinary bustle and activ- ity. Caval street was particularly resort. ed to, and it was finally crowded with people of all sorts, colors and conditions, from curb to curb and from wall to wall of the entire 225 feet of its width, The balconies that line both sides of the street, rising on tiers one above the oth- er almost to the roofs of the houses, were loaded with poople, many of them ladies in brilliant toilets, The weather was superb, the sky bright and the air as warm and balmy as in May in the Middle states, the thermometer standing at 70 © at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is not an exaggeration to say that from one of the lady-laden bal- conies that overlooked Canal atreet there were in the range of vision 50,000 peo- ple. About 11 o'clock the fantastically costumed outriders of Rex heralded the appronch of the groat procession, which, assembling the combned strength of four associations, with their moving scenes and panoramic views of thair subjects, sacred, heroic, romantic and humorous, extended for miles in length. mustering 100 cars of scenic illustrations, 500 horses and 2,000 raen. There wore fully a score of brass bands dispersed at inter- vals in the moving eolumn. THE PAGEANT. First in the procession came the pa- geant of Rex, in which the monarch of mummery and mims appears personating Solomon, the sage of the east: Israel's yreatest king appeared in royal state seated on an clevated throne borne on a car of great magniticence. The car and the support to the throne were decorated with gold work and_painted panels em- bossed with gems. Beneath a canopy of gay design was seated the king, in a chair wnlaid with gold and ivory, and cushioned with crimson cloth. The royal attire was as rich as that of Solomon in all his glory. His robe was of brocaded silk, richly embroidered with gold; his ample cloak, of moire antique, with golden bor- der and tassels; his stockings and gloves of silk, his shoes of gold cloth; his girdle woven of gold thread; his glittering crown was studded with the richest gems and around his neck was a necklace of pearls and sparkling jewels. A lion crouched at the monarch’s feet. A series ‘of ancient lamps or censers on slender pillars ran_around the oval periphery of the car, with festoons of flowers between Two harpers and horn blowers holding those instruments and dressed in the picturesque Jewish garb, occupied the space in front of the throne, and behind were stationed three Israehites soldiers, in martial array and armed with long spears and broad bucklers. The car was drawn by six horses, and at the sides, in front and rear, walked thirty slaves in parti- colored tunics and horned helmets and caps after the Egyptian fashion. Borne on a gally decorated car and preceding the king, was the gigantic “Buwuf Gras,” a superb specimen of the bovine species. This lordly bull was decked with garlands and attended by four Egyptian slaughterers in the cos- tume of that country, FOLLOWING THE KING. In the train of the king were twenty cars, gorgeously hued and profusely gilded, bearing artistic tableaux represont- g the hwstory of the Semitic races, in- cluding Phoenicians, Hebrewe, Arabians, Asiatics, and inhabitants of certain por- tions of Africa. Remarkable events or scenes in the history of these people wera caosen for illustrations, and the wealth of the royal treasury was drawn upon to provide the most costly cos- tumes and appointments for the pageant. The first scene presented Nimrod, the mighty hunter against the Lord. Next appeared the astrological Temple of Ashur, dedicated to the uses of astrona- my and divination, Queen Semiramis followed, with her suite. Ninyae, the Oriental voluptuary, surrounded by his harem of beautiful women, came. ~The burning of Sardan Apalus in his palace, with his drunken lords and wanton beau- ties, made a fine scene. Nebuchadnezzer in his glory, ordering the adoration of his gnlden Tinage, and the great, king eating grass with the beasts of the ficliin his humiliation, made three fine tableaux. The fall of Babylon, ihe swallowing up of the hosts of Pharoah n the Red ses, Bamson overthrowing the palace of his Philistine asters, King David receiving tribute from the vassal nations, Solo- mon’s grand temple, the Phoenician ool- onists in England, Hannibal crossing the Alps with his army and elephants, the Fire Worshijors, Mahomet and his fol- lowers, the U Horoun Al Rachid at Bagdad, the Arabs in Span and the par adise of Mahomet made up the great il- lustrations of the Semitic races. THE BRIDE OF REX, The gentle and lovely young girl whom Rex had chosen for his ‘queen was Miss Annie Howard, daughter of Mr. Charles T. Howard, the Louisiana lottery king. The young queen’s manner was very gra- cious and dignified, and charmed all be- holders, The costume worn by the queen was exceedingly rich and beautiful, but of a magnificence not inappropriate to the youthfuloess of the wearer. The dress was made of white duchess satin with a rounded train of not extravagant length. Into the center of the train was set a large fan pleating of white The train was finishel around the edge with Natalie ruching of heavy white grus grain silk pinked out at the edyes The side breadths of the skirt were made in lengthwise il the satin, finished tom of the skirt in a narrow ruffling. The front of the skirt was covered with deep flounces of satin, over which were laid flounces of exquisite hand-made lace, richly aud elsborately embroidered in gold thread. The *‘Nitalie” corsage was square in the neck, short of sleeve, and richly trimned in fichu shape, with gold embroidered lace. A ruff of white satin, lined with point d'Alencon, was fasteued upon the neck, and reached to the point of the corsage in front. Over this rich dress of yellow gold and white satin w+ worn a court train, or court mantle, of white brocade, the wide lips of the lilly in the design being outlined with gold threads. This mautle was lined with matalas satin in oriental designs, and ver white and pale rose in color, This court train was fast- ) ened in Wattesu plaitse upon the shoul. ders wuh heavy gold and tassels, A heavy cord. with tassels was aiso tied stomacher-fashion across the front of the dress, The corset train, which was rounded, was of sufficient length to tie just within the creamy shell of the ruching on the satinskirt. This train, which was edged with a gold cord, had a fan of white satin inserted in the middle, the fan being laced with fine gold cords The young quoen wore a crown upcn her brows and the necklace of black pear- shaped pearls, diamonds, rubies and emeralds. 53 DR Searcely had L EXHIBITIONS, this vision of romance passed out of sight when the orderof | the Mystic Merry Bellions presented | Vanity Fair, a dream of fair and unfair women, in sixteen humorous tableaux, They were gotten tp with much art, and besides being beautitul were very funny. Women in all sorts and styles of cos- tume, and no costume, were presented, and the wit and sarcasm expressed wero hailed with plaudits. The Phunny Phorty Phellows present ed a characteristical funny set of illustra- tions, One of the most striking scenes was the national colors composed of an army of boys attired s girls and maroh- | ing in alternate columns, one dressed wholly in red and the other in white with a group in blue. There were 150 make-believe girls altogother, and each girl carried a parasol of her specific hue. This was intended to impersonate an American flag Next crme the possession of Wrecks and Ridiculous, burlesques on the great Rex, with a long train of funny tableaux travestying a variety of popular extrava- gances. It was about 5 o'clock when this procession got out ot the way for tho grand pageant of the Mistick Krowe of Comus. THE NIGHT DISPLAY, About 8 o'clock in the evening the streots wero again filled with people and the great thoroughfares blazed with all the brilliance that numerous electrio lights and gas jets innumerable could im- part, whilo a vision was presented of an- cient Treland, exhibited on twenty-ono cars and presenting vivid and beautiful scenes from the history of Ancient Erin The dotails are beyond_inumeration, but the ensemble was magnificent. After the processions had left the street the grand ball of Rex, at Artillery hall, was the Mecca of every pilgrim fortunate enough to possess the requisite bit of gild- ed pasteboard. Thne vast hall, feet deep and 120 feet wide, and was soon filled with guests, wio numbered thousands. The throne-room at the fur- ther end was fitted up to represent a syl- van glade. Its flowers and shrubs wore nature's own products, arranged with art- wtic skill and luminous with the glow of incandescent, electric lamps. Hare sat the royal pair holding their court. In the great hall the decerations were very fine. Over the musicians’ gallery hung an immense shield of Cincinuatus made in white, and with a plow picked out in blue upon a satin ground. Huge baskets of flowers, full twelve feet in circumfer- ence, swung from the ceiling at each end of the ba!l room. From these depended hundreds of green and yellow ribbons gathered into a glittering ball of colored glass. There were flowers overywhere in the room, and the richness and beauty of the decorations excited universal ad- miration from the thousands present. e —— Opinion of Dr. Mott, late Govern- ment Chemist, on Allcock's Por- ous Plaster, My investigation of ALLcock’s Porouvs Praster shows it to contain valuadle and essential ingredients not prosent in any other Plaster.

ALsuQuerqQuE, February 23.—A pri- vate dispatch from Apache county, Ari- zona, has this to say of that country: The condition of affairs generally in Apache county is anything but serene. Cow- boys and renegade Moxicans, Mormans and Gentilss cowbine to make local af fairs a seething cauldron, in which mu lignant hatred, bigoted ignorance and au- tucratic lawlessuess overpower the better influence ut work in the commun- ity. Darng the last term of court in- tonse feeliny wis occasioned by the trisl and virtual acquictal, by a Moraon jury, of one ot the Greer brothers, on the charge «f assault with intant to kill a Mexican, although all the circumstances in the case went to preove conclusively a most cowardly attempt at assasination {mmediately before tae frial, with a view to intimidating the town, a party of cowboys rode through the sireets amtftylng their revolvers right and left and howling like demons. During the firing Chicf Justice French was on the street, and narrowly escaped being kill- ed, two bullets, evidently fromn the same pistol, passing within a {aw inches of his breast and burying themselves in the fence against which he was standing. ‘This is the county where the Mormons have thickly settled, and of which St. John's is the capital. e —— BARTLEY CAMPBELL'S ING EARN- How He Will Make $50,000 Out of an Of-Rejected Play. The New York Mail says: Bartley Campbell has often been called a giratfe by less successful dramatic authors. But poor Johu Braugham envied because of that length of neck wherewith nature had endowed him, rendering the char- acteristic reason that Campbell must be able to enjoy one‘flm of whisky twice as long as he could, Mr, Campbell has long hair, which he pushes back from forchead as he talks, and through | which he ruus his fingers in a caressing fashion. He has a place on Staten Island, but during the preparations for the pro- duction of “Separation” he has been stopping at the %{urwn hous *0Of course, | am very much gratified with this success,” said he, *‘The more 80 a8 this very work was rejected by Mr. Palmer and by Mr. Wallack for produc to Shook & Collier. The play is still mine. It is by retaining the ownorship to his plays and by putting companies on the road to interpret them, or by holding an interest when other people’s compa niea interpret them, that the dramatist properly socures the result of hia labors Here is the point of what I say.” And Mr. Campbell took & small mem. orandum book from his pocket and show- od where his own company in *'Siberia” had played in differont parts of the coun. try during the last fow months to wee ly receipts varying from 84,000 to 88000, representing a profit that ranged from 81,000 to £3,000 each week. This, it is manifest, indicates the profita of the sea son of thirty weeks on this play to be not less than 850,000, a sum five times great- or than Messrs, Colville or Brooks & Dickson are in the habit of paying for pronounced English successes, and five times greater than the Mallorys of Madi- son Square paid Maraden for the play which they have had so long in their pos- scasion and have not produced. — A DREADFUL DRIVE, The Experience of a Judge in tho Recent Colorado Blizzard, Donver News “That was a little the toughest ride I ever had,” said Judge John Coulter to a Neows roporter last evening. Tho judge had just returned from an extended trip through the northwestern counties on a tour of inspection. He had viewed the rich and fertile valleys of the section when bird and beast enjoyed the balmy air and succulent grasses. He had cattle ranging <here, and wanted to know how they were getting along, and also to become personally familiar with the climate when the mountain peaks were capped with snowy raiment, His curiosity has been satisfied. Likewise that of his son, H. T. Coulter, and Frauk Peck, clerk of Clear Creek county. They were companions and in quest of the samo object, that of discovering the nature of the weather in Routt county. They found it, and told about it in the Hotel Brunawick. “Yes, it was pretty tough, and it came pretty near proving a climax tQ all future operaticns in cattle, 8o far as three of us were concorned. We left Denver about 0| the brat of the month and went to Raw- lins by rail. We didn't take much extra clothing with us. 1t wasn't very cold when we left Rawlins, and got along very comfortably, stopping over night at Iron Springs. The next day we sterted out, headed for Dixon and other points west. Whnen we got to Steamboat Springs we were joined by James H. Colthrop. We had a double seated sleigh, and it slipped over the two or three inches of snow with an ease and lightnesa that was cheering and invigorating. The sky was clear and the atmosphere was ex- coedingly pleasant, Up to 11 o'clock did this enjoyable and desirable weather last. This was last Mnday. At that hour therb was a change, 1 have heard of changes, and sudden changes, but the change that struck us while on those sand hills was the most extensive change in the same length of time that ever came under my observa. tion. The weather became frigidly cold, and the snow came in such volume that it was at times impossible to see the horses. Then it began drifting frightful- ly, until progress was almost impossible. Suddenly it dawned upon us that we were lost, and turning the heads of the horses attempted to retrace oursteps. But that proved futile, for the snow had filled in and obliterated every vestige of a track. We gave up. Just then Billy Adair, the mail carrier, came along, and whon he said he could get through, we turned our horses heads and followed him. *‘Soon after Adair announced that he was Jost, Then we knew that it wasa case of life and death, with the chances in favor of the latter, if the blizzard kept up its lick. As we were not prepared for such an expression on the part of the weather itcaught us with but little where- with to keep warm, The outlook was in- doed a very discouraging one, and as night came upon us the wind increased in velocity and howled and moaned as it naver did before, and the party on top of the sand hills with no hope for relief, “We had stopped and held consulta tion as to what had better be done in the premises As there was but one course to pursue we concluded to pursue that course, and that was to make & sort of protector from the wind of the boxes of the sleighs, wrap ourselves up in the two blankets that we had, and run our chances, if necessary, of perishing and forming food for the vile coyote. So we fixed up the best we could under the cir- cumstances. But, to be honest about it, I yeurned for the cheerful grate of my | tom« in Georgetown, ‘Our chances looked very dubious. The party began scratching about in the sncw and finally succeeded in getting togesh-r enough aprigs of sage brush to make un exouse fora fire, And as we hovered around it and endeavored to keep waru, 1 thanht it compared favor- ubly with the ettrs of the illustrious Col. Sellers, We k. the fire warm, but bless me 1f the five wopt us warm. The snow was everywli re. As 1t covered us it melted, and ere long our clothing was frozen sull. Thus j-assed the night away No one slept, and v the morning dawned the storm seemed to have incressed in fury. **Hopo had almost left us. There was no indication of any abatement, and our fate seemed sealed. But we held a con- sultation of war and determined to again battle with the drifts and the raging ele- mente. Attaching the horses to the sleighs we started out, the men flounder- ing ahead in drifcs three to six feet deep. It nearly exhausted us, and the horses were completely fagged. Soon after noon the storm began to abate, the sky became clear, but the wind kept up and the celd became intense, 1 shall always believe that had we a thermometor with us it would have registered 40° below, You can not imagine our condition, Oar clothing frozen stiff as boards and floun. dering through mountains of snow to make & passage for the horses and sleighs, *“‘Soon after the breaking away of the clouds we heralded with delight the cown of Bugar mountain, and Adair's countenance beamed with delight. There was nothing of special importenance to cause the hilarity on his part further than that & short diswnce down the draw was the remains of an old stable, There the party would, in a measure, be secure from the biting, bitter blasts, About six miles of snow drifts were to be overcome, however, and it was dark when wo reached the remnants of a once tolerably fair stable, out fire or food, none of us daring to 8o asleep for fear of changing climates, *“It was ten wiles to Dixon, where we konew we could secure shelter, food and warmth, and pulled outat early day- tion at their theaters. After some other attampts to place it, | put it away and wade no further attempt to bring it for. i ward until I submitted it to Shook & Qollier this wintes 1 shall partake of success of ‘Soparation’ as I have of all my other plays, I have not sold out break., But it took nerve to face the winds chat whistled about the mountain and we feared und were prepared for fln‘s orst. KFrequently one of the part; would annouuce after riding a short dis- tance that he felt comfortable, but we all kuew the cause of it, and would hustle Here we staid ali night with- | § him out of the sleigh and pound him,and make him walk until he warmed himself thoroug!ly.} “When wo reached Dixon it was near ly midnight, and, after gotting into the liotel, madoa personal examination of ourselves. So far as T was concerned, 1 was not badly damaged, Both ears were frozen, and my toes were shghtly bitten, The stage-driver's feet were somowhat chilled. Both of Peck's feet wore frozen, and his fingers were in the same condi- tion. My son's feet were frozon, and his oars ditto, and his ears and cheoks like rocks, “When we had become partially warmcd again wo figured that wo had been for thirty-six hours witn food and about thirty hours battling with one of the worst snow-storms that ever swept over that region. Old settlers at Dixon said it had never been equaled, and looked upon our deliverance as a special act of Providence. Our return was made much oasier, as the weathor was mode- rate, and, although we wero compelled to break a path the greater portion of the distance for our horses, got along comfortably well, “*At Steamboat Springs wo learned that Ben Shedden, better known as ‘Boston,’ had frozen both foet while carrying the mail from Iron Springs to Dixon, and would be compelled to have them ampu tated. Ho got lost and was out four days and three nights. *‘The experiences the party had with the storm king will always remain fresh and vigorous n our memories, Howling winds, dniting snows and a cheerless blank of plain will loom up in our slum bers for many nights,” *Did you see the country?” queried the repor ter. **Seo the country? Well, 1 should say we did. Weo saw more country in the same apace of timo than we could possi- bly havo seen at any other time of the year, And it is a great place for cat- tle.” — Bishop Pierce's Golden Wedding. Bishop Pierce, of Georgia, writes as follows to a religious paper in the south: The “‘golden wedding” has come and gone. It was a joyful occasion—ration- al, roligious, Cnristian in its coremonics and its improssions. 1t was indecd a family reunion, and the number present ranks me among the patriarchs, or at loast head of the tribe. We had many groetings and congratulations from friends far and near—present and absent —letters fillod with good wishes and Christian sentiments, from Connecticut to Colorado. My daily corsespondence I count as the hardest work I do. The late ava- lanche of epistles I have concluded to answer through the press. A month’s writing would not suffice if I were to take them one by one. The notable evont has quickened the poetic vein, too, like the breath of spring, and charming verses heve poured in upon us from north and south, My muse has folded her wings long since and resta voiceless in her retreat. She cannot respond to her more youthful mates. I am shut up to silence or to print. Tc is due to say that in my letter an- nouncing days of birth and marriage I ouly proposed to gratify friends, who do- mandad it of me. My suggestion to Florida, Virginia and Georgia, as to the oranges, oysters and cigars was a mere pieco of pleasantry, which I thought everybody would undorstand, Yet, to bo candid, T thought some of theso might como. Boyond this T had no expecta. tions. 1 neither asked nor hinted. But wumerous friends had other thoughts, They have seut us oranges, oysters, cig- ars, presents useful and ornamental, and money. Tho last perhaps the most im- portant, because I needed it. This no maun knew and never would, unless they had asked mo the question direct. I am sometimos empty-handed, and when best supplied have never seen the duy when 1 could not have used protitably and roligi ously more than I had. The gifts which came in have been received with unul loyed gratification. I, we, sccept them thankfully, and prize them not only for their intrinsic value, but as expressions of love and good will. Friendship, thank God, is ‘not all & name, the poet to the contrary notwithstanding. We have many friends, and have had all along, who are faithful and true. In any exi gency, if need be, I would go to them for' help with as much confidence as in childhood T went to my parents. 1 have given a long life and hard labor to the church and my native state, and to them [ devote the remainder of my days. I have simply tried w do my duty. I claim nothing, descrve nothing, and feel amply remunerated in the re- spect, confidence and love of my breth- ren and fellow citizens, In this respect, as the late event developed, I am richer than I knew. My interest in the kind wishos of the good and the prayers of the faithful is an investment from which I shall draw daily consolation, Now, to gratify curiosity in part and to forestall rumors, let me say that I cannot state precisely the value of things received, and would not if [ could, but will add that we have been very pleas- antly helped, though not largely endow- od.
