What shsll we say Of Lord Mayor Of London

What shsll we say OF Lord Mayor OF London
who breaks down and falls nto an apOplexy or 3
parslysis at bis FIRST official dnner' Who sec
cambs to bis virgin turbot, yields to his prims!
turtle and nearly gives up the ghost at the sight Of
bis Ditistory venison7 The Lord Mayors Of the
good old days were, if we may believe the chroni-
cles. isdoni!shle trenchsr men, and Lord May
or's feast was grand tourney OF victorious glut-
tony, at which flesh, fsh and fowl disappeared be-
fore the copjuring of rapid and RESTLESS knives,
forks and spoons We are afraid that present
Lord Mayors are degenerate creatures, for we
learn that Alderman David Williams Wire, the
newly elected Lord Mayor, while eating himself
into official possession of the Mansion House, tum-
tled into fit, and has since been unable to attend
to any official business whatever. In our juvenile
days, when perusing, with beating hearts and water
ing moatbs, the Adventures of Wilmington and his
Cat, we were struck most forcibly by the sIperb
spread at which eliminated the rewards of Good
Boy Richards honest life; and .here is print of
a Lord Mayors Feast by Hogarth which is itself
lunch for an Emperor. We confess that we have
never thought OF a Lord Mayor living upon cruel.
And we have Likewise supposed that Lord Mayors
went through such prDdigious desetical trimming
during the Aldermanic state that they came to the
chsir meat proof, puddiosproof and port wine
proof. The unhappy fate OF Lord Mayor Wire con-
yinces us of our error. We now see. more clearly
than We did before, the perils which environ the
successful competitor for that high position.
In this city we manage matters better. 1t is
well known that formerly, when we had seml-ofi-
cial feasts these were given in the Tea Room OF
the City Hall, from which fact certain folk most
naturally Inferred that the libations were confined
TO ipfusions more OF less strong of Bohea, Soa
chope and lily sou and exc of the fragrant berry OF
Mocha. But the public knew better. And know-
ing better, the public suppressed the Tea ROOM
and any quantity of oysters beef brandy and other
beguliDg demons, sappipg the foundation OF the In
cipiept NAY oral existence, which might sprout into
ldull blown apoplexy even upon the august lnaugu-
Dration Day, and thus without being proof against
The sudden and certain deaths, in the beginning OF
iheir official career, of our Mayors, we have very
much lesseped the chances of such lamentabe
catastrophe If we could only be sure that our
potent, grave and reverend gentlemen proportion
ably restrained themselves In other festive quar-
ters, our hopes Of Municipal longevity would be
very much enlivened.
We are very glad to learn that Mr.. Lord Mayor
Wire will probably get well, and We hope that upon
his recovery he will be careful of his eating aud
drinking; and will not permit any absurd Consti-
tutional notions-Brtish Constitutional notions
to betray him into these most dangerous cerebral
phenomena.
