Inc great exhlDltlon Announcer BOT
last Saturday night. came within just
nine of being total failure, and twas
only through the indefatigable exertions
of Ye Great Chief. that the tine-honorcd
institution was rescued from disgrace.
The nine hundred thousand patriots who
were to constitute the enthusiastic au-
dience, were in town about the middle of
the afternoon-they came from Crescent
City in exhuberance of spirits and . two
horse wegon-they shouted Justify for
Fisher and whisky--they drove down the
street and then drove up again. Some
heartless AboIitionist informed the patri-
ot4 procession that Fisher had declined
IA feeling of mingled doubt and sorrow
filed the hearts Of the multitude COM
mittee was Immediately appointed to find
Ye Great Chief. and make inquiries con-
corning the truth ofsshis fearful report,
i-Ye Great Chief promptly replied, Alas,
my friends, tn troo. " The committee
hastily conveyed the solemn intelligence
to the delegation. The mournful mass Of
moving Democracy then shaped its course
toward Jefferis' depot, and demanded the
promised principle. But the proprietor
refused to come down-said the princi-
pie was promised for the Fisher rati6ca-
| ton, but az Fisher had declined. and
lcouldn't be ratified, he felt that he was
relieved from his obligation they couldn't
have the principle without the ''mon. -
This last blow was more than distressed
humanity could endure-the multitude
| lifted up their roices and wept, and were
about to proceed to riot when 8 mischiev-
Gus Black Republic came MP and asked
them if they had heard the news-they
answered .sNo--there hain't been no
stranger around for more nor a month,
and we don't know nothin' bout what's
bin goin' on. Soon's we git our crap in
we're goin, to have one of the neighbor
boys sent of 10 git larnin' 50 Is how he
kin read, and then Wen make upa pony
pus and buy q newspaper. The answer
gave evidence that the sovereigns were
not posted, so the mischievous Black Re
public brought forth an old newspaper
and read for the benefit of the company.
They listened attentively to the painful
"details of Lees defeat and Pemberton's
surrender, and then the old gentleman
who acted as spokesman, got up TO make
a speech. +Feller Dimocrats," said he,
what air we comm to! Gin'ral Lee s
Kicked, Vicksburg's took; Fishers d.
clined, and we cant git no whisky The
Dimocrat party are rooined firever-let's
| go home /" The proposition to go home
WAS Immediately acted upon, and the
i doleful cavalcade fled out of town in the
style of funeral procession--the process
sion consisted mostly of Terry and another
!! fellow. =
Thus endeth scene the first.
Scene the second was more tnrillingly
! interesting. The menagerie was open to
the public at the appointed hour. but the
/ public wasn't there. Ye Great Chief IL
llumined the dusky hall with the majesty
of his terrific countenance-ye venerable
editor of ye mighty Basle was there ar
arrayed in all his glory-Ye astute owner
