Harper's Weekly Of the 18th, enters hearty
and manly protest against the Heenan and Say
ers spirit of blackguardism, SO rife among our
newsmongers Of the would-be respectable puppy
gentleman style of folks. The protest is highly
indignant; but the same paper contains elaborate
illustration of the fight. ..,"
Frank Leslie, Of the same date, is luminous
with pictures Of the fight.
Heenan, the American, came off "the better
dog in the fight" though the issue was not deci.
sive. Now, alas we are to be nauseated with
Heenanites We must see the Heenan Hat on
every puppy's head-Heenan tobacco and cigars
-Heenan whiskers-Heenan neck-ties. There
must be perfumes & la Hesnan; and why not
Eau de Heenan, as there was a Double Eztrail
de Jenny Lind, some years ago? And We must
have Heensn melodies and street-boys are to
shout in ourears the fash Of the shoulder-hitters,
the cant Of the cockpit, and the ribald slang Of
the beslutted gamester Faugh!
That reminds us-Guano, if applied to q
wound, is painfully and perhaps dangerously
poisonous; SO the papers say. Care is neces-
sary, therefore, in handlingit.

On Thursday, the third, we had two popular
coronation parties, in the evening. One at the
Town Hall, of which Miss Bostwight was the
Queen. The ceremonies, with addresses and all
that, opened the evening. Then the dance
Then supper. More dance then. And, last Of
ALL home. Theparty was very pleasant sue
cess, Everything was so lovely and appropriate
that we are unwilling to specialize. We like to
see young folks especially pretty ones-enjoy:
ing themselves. S
The other party was at the Atheneum Hall
| It was like the other in its main features, we
were advised; but we we're not in attendance.
Miss Zsaly was the sovereign of that empire.
We give the names of these queens because they
were stated-we presume by permission-in the
daily papers. g.

"Greeting" --.
We commend the following poem to all oul
friends. tits the raoiest little gem that has as.
tonished Us for many a day. Weshaye heard oi
"linked sweetness long drawn OUT before, but
we never saw it so nearly rendered visible. The
catastropheis is brought aboutby means SO artistic
that there is no withholding our applause. We
have heard of vast variety Of kisses, but nont
exactly like this. There is Passions thrilling
kiss" of Byron; the ''long wild, kiss Of sunny
sweets that Festus knew Of; "love's first snow
drop,-yirgin kiss" then the 'Houg, long kiss
kiss Of youth and love" that Don Juan tried
and found excellent; then there's the Mystic'I
'thrice sacred kiss of secrecy" Tennyson had
sweetheart Of whom he said:
"a man had given all other bliss,
| And all his worldly worth for this,
To waste his whole heart in one kiss
Upon her perfect lips.n ~ =
We believe Tennyson must have been in Amer.
ica-in the South-before he wrote that! We
feel sure. That old maniac, Cowley, threatens
his lady-love,-"Ill kiss thy very SOUL" AL
that is eminently suggestive antalizingly sug'
gestive, too-but we think our poet, the author
of "She Did," has contributed a something new
in that very direction. We are sorry not to be
able to give the authors name. 1t appeared
anonymously, or with some fanciful nom de plume.
The epigraph to it is, simply the citation: "2
Cor 10: 12." This is the poem Read slow.
