Growing out of the present Germanic demonstra-
ton grand Sunday lager beer party is about to be
formed. Like every other political organization
there will be considerable foam about 1t, and in
the brightest times the majority of its adherents will
only be enabled to see through 1t AS Through o

How about the Board Of CouncllmenY Who has
been hurt and who has been made whole by the de-
cision OF the Court Of Appeals There was not a
little chuckling in January last, in the City Hall,
among the adherents OF the hodovers, when the
newly elected knocked timidly for admission at the
doors Of the Councilmen and were refused Well,
this shows the mutability Of political life, and the
inherent weakness OF even the most solidy appear
ing rings" When "ring" is thus rudely broken,
the best cement we know Of to make "things
straight is "soap." 1t is wonderfully adhesive.
If 1t is the thing to wink at permit the sale of
lager on Sunday during a German festival, why
should 1t be prohibited when there is 'nix" the

OF the Boards of Aldermen and Councmen, and
numerous others" who are in "that rng,n meet
daily, and is said, never adjourn without embrac

are married The very idea OF introducing
widow, so notorious as is Mrs. Clquot, within the
precincts Of the Hall ought to arouse the virtuous
Indignation Of every matrOn In the city.
Pray, gentlemen who meander around the mu-
nicpal buildings in the Park and have the run of
the City Hail. what has become of that four thousand
five hundred dollar chandelier which once ''orna-
mented" the chamber of the Councilmens Is 1t to be
found anywhere among that receptacle of cast Off
furniture the Amercus Club9 We can't aver that 1t
Is; but this we do know will covet the chan

Is not our amiabe friend, DR.. Harris, OF the Board
Of Health, a little too particular as to the company
he keeps-ust q shade more than is absolutely
necessary for the good of his ''vtally statistic'

remember me an apothecary, and nereabOut he
dwelt"-impecuni0usly so.

There are but ten drinking fountains In the city !
Think, gentlemen Of the Board Of Excise Commits
sioners, OF the torture you put poor humanity to
Sunday, in that you resolved that water. equally
with lager, shall be kept from the lips Of the thirsty.
n You would have people temperate, cause foun-
tam OF running water to be placed on every corner
OF the understanding lager in the estimation of
many would be preferable.
