The I auker answer- ed the qnestion, when the man in the bng^y commenced long, rambling cniiveraation on the system of Canadi- an ban bug. The ignorance be dis- placed on the subject, and the forced attempt to prolong the conversation, excited the snopicion of Mr. Kerr. Tli»t gentleman stepped towards his ofBee door, remarking tu the man who had extensive bnsincRS connections in Ger- many, that if hp dcHJred further in- forniinR'JoD he f ruld iiaye to oUl without a bugt'T.

I)AN;IX(i ASI) REJOiriNO OVEE 'KATH OF A Child. AViiIas in some portions of Ireland, and dances over the dead iu Mexico, arc common, but in the part of the civilized world people frown down up- on the custom as only fit to be practic- ed hy barbarians. Still, there was in this city last cveumg at the residence of F^aiicisoo Bamos a Mexican on I.osoyo street, ndtoining San Autoine ice street. A child eigut months of ii^'o ihed yesterday morning, and tho oareuts did not weep.Jbut rejoiced ovei the I11.-.S. Thoy loved their little' one, yet rejuiecd because it was taken away in its purity of infancy to joju the nnjle hist up yonder. They wyre glad till y had been thus made instru- luoutal iu adding another chorister to the hosts siu^iuj} hosannahs on high. So they dt^tcrinined to demonstrate their rejoiciu;; to the world hy inViting fiieiuls and relatives about them, and having :i dnnce â€" a wake, as the world regard such demonstrations. An A jTiss reiresenfative chanced around the pliice about!) o'clock p. m., found th house brilliantly lighted and quite a number of persons present. A harp- er seated iu front of the enterance door.was playing a family waltz, and three or four conplcfe were dancing to the inucio. Under the gallery abed, and just behind the harper, lay the dead infant, a pretty little girl. She was dressed in black, and had been placed upon a box that was covered with a white cloth, trimmed with red about the borders. The bands of the infant were nicely foldpd, and witbia was phiced shouqnet of artifioal flowers jf crimson hne. Reslingloosely atout the head of the deceased was a coronet of white artifieal Cowers, and a simi- lar wreath cneucled tlie lifeless frame, while roses, pinks and several kinds of Wild flowers were strewn promis- cuously about the reinaiua The little departed one was actually nestled m a bed of uHtaral and artifical flowers and wreatliH tf vines. Qnite a oamber of ladies ana gentlemen who passed that way were invited within by the father and admired the pretty httle iaIiBt, but looked with stnuige thooghts np- on Uie so'^ne in the adj•ae^t room, were rejoiciuK took the platJs of thoM «omniuD exnreHMUU and dMBOiNln- tions of grief that anrnMufsated 9han the bn-txl ones rf tha faakilr eirde an talked away to be bTeoo mor* Conrsr.
