Whether Col. Benton be right in calling
Mr.. Folks Administration fountain or not.
he is unquestionsbly right in calling its per-
formances Mice. They are not only very
small things, but are very small Of their kind.
The parallel runs out in many PARTICULARS
The chief doing OF the mice is nibbling at the
corn and cheese, that is the prorendcr; then
the little things look around and think, they
are very cunning, and nobody sees. il any
one makes noise, they run back into theii
holes, and again look out shyly to sec what ii
