..sweet RIstori,,

A quotation from the classics occa-
.sionally gets a man into trouble, and so
it was in q we'll known billiard hall last
evening when a gentleman, slightly over
come from WEAKNESS and from worship
ing at'the shrine Of Bacchus, fell into
the arms of Morpheus as he sat in a chair
near, one Of the billiard tables. Another
intoxicated man happened to discover
the slumberer, and he approached him
out of pure sympathy, because a fellow
feeling makes enc ~wondrous kind"
Taking a position in front Of the sleeper
ne exclaimed dramatically and with
gestures suiting the words-'Sleep, gen.
tie sleep-tired natures sweet r%estorer.'
The laugh which this caused awoke the
slumberer, and the declaimer repeated
the line. The drowsy individual heard
something about sweet restorer" and he
became indignant Immediately. Sir"
he exclaimed, you are a rascal. Do
you dare to call me sweet Ristori2" A
fight between the two overcome individ-
uals, who were strangers to each other,
being imminent, mutual friends inter.
posed and explained the unpoetical mis-
understanding to beth by informing the
poetical chap that poetry was offensive
to some people and informing the other
that it was what Shelly called the brother
Of death in the line, Death and bis
brother Sleep" that was referred to by
the expression sweet restorer," and not
the famous tragic queen, however sweet
she NAV be.

lection, forgetting hat the
nent portions Of its frame re-
ground.
AT the General Council meeting, ne
last night, the Mayor hurled the follow
ing at the members in joint session:
Certainly after this year your honora-
Bile board will not claim any compensa-
ton, thereby reducing expenses seven
thousand five hundred dollars on account
OF salaries. And in this connection, as
the time has come when you are to fix
the salary Of the Mayo.' for the forty
ninth and fftieth corporate years, in ac-
cordance with section 36 of the charter,
regard it my duty to rec ommend to you
to fix the salary At such a figure as to
convince the creditors of the city that
extravaganza will not be countenanced
in any shape or form until, at least, the
debts are paid. l therefore recommend
to you an ordinance fixing the salary at
two thousand dollars per annum. This
sum will not deprive the city Of the ser
vices Of those whose efforts are appreci-
ated, and at the same time it will be
compensating the officer for his time at
a rate not often received outside Of a
public office, to say nothing Of the honor
conferred. At all events it is retrench-
ment; it is what the people demand, and
1t ls the proper place to begin"
Mayor League feels hat he was worth
four thousand per annum, but if the peo-
pie will r~e-elect him. he will do it for two
thousand; but if they do not, then he de-
sireS that his successor shall only receive
two thousand per snnum He who mis-
appropriated the wharfage tax to other
purposes, who runs the city government
in the interest of the Londonderry ring,
now talks about retrenchment; but the
voters of Memphis recollect the poetic
lines
When the devil was sick, the devil a saint
would be-;
When the devil got we'll, the devil a saint
was he"
