amid the rejoicings of the the multi tude,
and the exhilerating strains of music
from our Silver Cornet Band. 1t is q
beautiful banner. Our popular young

The election is over-the Tilden and
Hendricks flag has been raised, autumn
approaches, silently treading the halls
of time. But this has no direct bearing
OH our subject. Our object is not to fall
in the lap of science. nor to eXpatiate
on the probable virtue existing in the
animal kingdom; it is not to speak of
the wild flights of a disordered mind
but to tumble at once, to the pOint-a
hungry stomach. The re is something
very suggestive in hungry stomach,
and great many stomachs are extreme
ly fastidiOus; rather epicurian, and
demand food to be served delicateIy.
To these we would say: Go to the Euro
pean Hotel. There you will find every
thing neat and tidy and the dishes, filled
with the most delicious food, are stacked
around in a way to win your affection.

warmth on the State debt, and though

he would strike a repudiating blow at
