Oh AND CANDY.-On Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings of this week, our citizens
were treated to grand entertainments, "free
gratis for nothing" by doctor" Pratt, the
4.Abolition Oil man" and professor Brown,
sole manufacturer of the world renowned
-.Atlantic able candy. The entertainments
were given in the open air, on Main street,
in front of the Hotel d'Europe, beneath the
ceruleau, diamond studded vault of heaven,
while the pale queen Of night flooded the
scene with her soft, silvery rays, slightly
assisted by the fickering light of huge
lamp in which Abolition Or was burned
The doctor appeared to be the main man Of
the concern, doing all the talking. singing,
etc., the candy man keeping his ''sweet''
mouth shut until the greasy part of the per-
formance was ended. The doctor" srathel
a fat man, an "oily" speaker, sings
''oleaginously." recites poetry "lubricatlnS-
ly,' and sells oil rapidly. The only hind
rance to his getting along in this world, i:
his extreme modesty. Professor Brown il
not so highly gifted, oratorically, musicall!
and poetically, as the doctor" but he il
portly in appearance, wears a dilapidatet
..plug," and he can weigh out and receive
the change for the candy he sells with sucf
"a "sweet" grace, that all beholders art
charmed. In "honeyed" language he dis
coursed upon the marvellous curative quail
ties of his remarkable candy, the sugary ex-
pressions flowing from his saccharine lips ii
a constant stream as he dispensed his delect.
able compound in diminutive quantitie:
among his customers. May the doctors
journey through life be as smooth as his oil
and the Professors as free from bitterness as
his candy.
