For man who prctends TO be
honest, Grant has moro trouble
than any one we ever knew OIL
lie reminds one of a "poppot, )"
strung on wire, courtesying to
all who may dHngle the string
1t IN amusing to see him dip over
and under, in and out, to impress
the people with his great honesty
1t would be matter Of great as.
tonishmont if few weeks should
olapse without involving this "pop-
pet" in some question of voracity.
He has not yet cxtricated himself
from the most serious onc-tho
CoIbl affair before we hear of his
brOthcr.in~law on the other line
opening on him. Dent, the hybrid
candidate for Governor in Missls-
slppi, made n speech the other day,
IN which, according to correspon
dent Of the New York Tribune, he
said
81 saw the President on this very
question, before | LOFT Washington
He told me ho was in sympathy
with me and the party represent.
He intimatcd that ho was opposed
TO the extremists, and that he be-
hevcd the Southern men to be hon

Who shall undertake to tell who

A MILWAUKEE BOYS CoMPosI.
TIoN ON LAGER.-Lager Bocr Is
made in Milwaukee and this is why
it Is called Milwaukee Lager Beer.
Germans drink lager beer, likewise
Americans, too bnt it doesn't do
Americans 30 much good as it does
Germans, who get tat and jolly,
while the American doesn't get
fat, only in the nose, and red, too,
which German don't. Everybody
don't drink lager beer-boys don't
drink it because they amt big ems
ough. When they gets big on
ough they do-German boys do,
cause their pas lets 'em, and thinks
it Is good for them. ] tried to
drink lager beer once, me and Bill
Yagor-Bll could drink it, cause
his pa was q Gorman-l couldn't
drink it, cause it was so bitter-sO
Bill he drunked il all mp, aud then
Bill licked me, and my ma licked
Bill, and Bill threw II stone at our
window, and | threw stone at
Bill's dog, and Bill's pa sand he
would HEX me, aud my pa said he
would lick Bills pa, and therefore
l don't think lager boer is good for
little boys, it's 80 bitter, Editors
drink lager beer, and that is what
makes them write bitter, and like
wise lawyers too and lager beer ia
good for them. Lager b,er ain't
so good as it used to be, cause my
pa sand 80, and ma she said no
ought to be ashamed of himself to
drink il, and pa said he was, only
ifpeople didn't drink lager beer the
other people couldn't sell all their
hops and they would all spoil. La
ger beer is five cents a glass, cause
my pa said so, only sometimes
when there is moro lager it is five
cents for two glasses, and the men
that make lager beer they oil get
rich, and when / got big ! will
make lager beer too, only its 80
bitter. And tins is all l know ~
