we say without hesitation Ard say it boldly, that
there wore fraud and corruption with somebody; sad
". Indignantly, with 9 view to the overwhelming eI
posture Of said somebody demand, Who handled the
money and where were the pumpkin pies
But to return: The bold unainching Boole marched
his distinguished guests in single fle and seated them
in chairs facing the iupateot crowd who waited to
the lions feed.
Cp sprung then Van Tine, the valiant, to carve the
sandwiches, and we pause to pay vsn Tine the com.
pliment of saying that he carved the sandwiches with
regularity and grace. Oscanyan the interpreter, was
slao prevalent at this time, with knives, also forks
which he handled with dexterity. The distinguished
guests were supplied each with sandwich, cracker
minute cube Of cheese, and square inch of cake on
a plate, Oscsnyan officiating. glass OF VINE, or
brandy and water also furnished each distinguished
guest. no two being compelled to drink out of the same
rsss another conclusive proof the greatness OF our
country and the munifcen liberaity of her people.
And so the lions fed the bold Booe looking on with
I grstfed compacency, the valiant Van Tine with
satisfied ambition the crowd with unbounded curiosity,
| and the reporters with humble hope that certain
bottles in basket under the table would be over
| looked Vain hope The remorseess Boole ruhlessly
dragged out the unoffendng bottles and had their
hearts blood in an instant the mmolation Of the in
nocent vessels being witnessed with sincere commits
seration by the whole corps Of mourning reporters.
And now terrible cry resounds throughout the
banquet -hall-a thrill of anguish pervades every
breast-Whs. Is it stern order to the police to
clear the room for the supply of crackers Is giving
out Shall this horror be No. A timely messenger
dispatched who quick returns with pound OF crack
err more and national honor is preserved, and oui
flag still proudly waves o or the land, &c.
We did not learn the messengers name. Thus
| modest merit ever retires from public gratitude
At lat the distinguished guests had eaten and drunk
| to repletion aud were filed The Councilmen were
also filed although the inerns! dimensions OF certain
| of them pass ordinary notions Of measurement.
And then again the gay and festive Boole upleaped
upon tho platform and waving high his brimming sas'
above his head aloud he cried "TO the health OF the
ladies present" for there were many ladies present al
that time. Nobody responded, but eberybody drank
| come once, some twice. some several times.
Down came the fearless Boole, and thus once more
| spake he:
| IAN you who want to pay their respects to thu
city's guests, walk up and shake hands with them"
Americas loyal citizens did that same in great mum
bers after which the military Booe, bya MASTER,
naneuver, took himself Of and the distinguished
quests followed at his coat-tails. Thus ended thu
grand banquet of the Common Councilmen Of Ne"
| York to Rear-Admirsl Mohsmmed Pasha, the ms
| naval officer of the Turkish Empire.
