One cannot eat but little meat,
Ones stomach Is not good;
It's shame methinks, that cooling drinks
Aren't better understood.
Such drinks there are at every bar,
Where stars and stripes wave high,
And ticklers bland from hand to hand
In icy rainbows fly!
But here, alb me nowhere see r. -- -...
Inc drinks the time requires;
II, clubless, for "coolers cry,
What answers my desires?
There's soda water, lemonade,
And there's imperial pop;
There's Samsburys fruit syrups, made
AT his peculiar shop.
There's what for Bass attempts to pass,
Or Allsop's bitter beer,
The which in draught or bottle quaffed,
lnebriate-not cheer.
And where 'tnux vomica" with "grains
" Paradise, combine;
Such drink, howeer one longs for drains
It's wiser to decline.
For US no cafe opens the door,
With marble tables spread,
With smooth-swept mating on the floor,
And awning DER the head.
And iced caratfe that woos to quaif,
And walters trained and trim,
While in the breeze the boulevard trees
Cast chequered shadows dim.
So in the haring gin.shops bar,
Or pastry cooks lion den,
After my wanderings faint and far,
l must come back again!
For cooling draughts there's but one mart
In London's vastly pale;
The drinking fount's my last resort
My liquor, Adams ale
That poet should come to New Orleans,
visit the Bismarck, or the sage Mccloskey-
him of the mead.

BOYS IN PROCESSION. Major Williamson,
Chief OF Police, has been censured, in a very
small way, for instructing his subordinates
to keep a sharp lookout on boy rabbles that
are quite often on the streets after dark
carrying lame lanterns and to Il transpa-
rencies, some from Democratic and others
from Republican clubs. 1t would be diff.
cult to say what benefit there is in these
youngsters ranging around when they should
be in bed, but it is easy to see what great
harm exists in it. The little rascais never
preserve order, but are almost crazy,
swinging their lamps carelessly, without
thought OF consequences. This gives in
surance agents much annoyance, as well it
may-tor in case of fire they would be the
sutterers-and they entered formal com.
plant to Major Williamson, asking that the
boys be stopped in their senseless career.
Acknowledging the business of the com
plant, and being fully aware of the extent
OF the nuisance in other senses, the Chief
essayed to prevent the lads endangering
property, but was chided for his care for
our city's welfare and has quite ceased TO
interrupt the foolish boys. AS the campaign
is growing warm and more exciting, all good
citizens are anxious for the Chief to put a
stop to irresponsible boys placing property
and lives of people in jeopardy.
Major Williamson will be fully justified in
disbanding or arresting such youthful
rab0les, and moreover it is his bounded
duty to execute this which in the strictast
manner, OF course We have no reference
to regularly organized youthful clubs that
have responsible leaders to look sharply
after them.
