There is someth ng, after all, a little dtsreput-
able In parody and buresque. There Is smah
nursery song beginning, MARY had little lamb"
written by somebody to as unknown. For years
1t has been repeated Gy mothers TO their children,
and repeated back in lSping accents by the chill
dren themselves In many mind IL IS assoclat'
ed with tender memories OF those who were toe
early lost But the parody.wrlters have got hold

with q cargo Of provisions for the inhabitants OF
Paris, It is said tina. more than one German mer-

No class Of the community have been quicker to
mark this praiseworthy- disposition than our
adopted citizens OF French extraction, and as
might be supposed, the effect Is mutual feeling
or kindly regard in place OF the suppressed hos.

take no orders for busls. lie uses, besides, only
