Toucurp LionrLr.--A Solomon who pronounccs people
"sly aud absurd wh' don't sgree With bis crude no
lions about cholera gvesveut ths sentence:
"But people display any how ard to that end they
apy choose scientific su6ects fitting field for their
metaphysical dsquisitiop,." Well, that display beats

smart fellow and don't swallow thpgs until you know

The genius has been studying Freaet till he
knows about Il than Monsieur Mchard. Wishing to
make display of bis scQuions In that tongue he long
ago described certain es6vy a. the greatest friend
suggests that perhaps hs f Of the season. This
scientific metnpbysician must have tho cholera. -
Did ever any body, Inc natural state throw up such
bully
'tScienii6c Mstaplyaetrn" We always knew him to
DO ultra. "3etaphysiei" has not half science enough
Tor hun, and only urprised he did prefix the
word most to scens" In his endeavor express il
properly Murray has cot supplied half superlatives
eoough for his Ia snotice which appeared In for
mer number Of the Disparh relative to the warm weather
We observed the beautiful phrase, "yery exceedingly

TINS connection we may properly refer to scrrous

tie poor dupe TO whom 1t Is credited could not write Tia
name, we would make some remarks about H.
We are at no loss to conjecture the real author of tina.
scnrous production OF the influence through which
was favored with so conspicuous position at the head Of
the column. ~ "
The individual whose subscribed to the card IA
person OF such character be entirely
notice His face familiar the Mayor of this city as
perhaps any other in the Commonwealth.
We will ask how this repued writer OF tho sour lions
card got the information relative Bsrras being drunk
as he says when he made his statement before the Mayor
he admitted he was absent yet he fully Informed
about Bar'atts condition. We readily answer But
another time for that.
