A CABINET MEETING.

1t will appear after awhile that the presi-
Dental fraud is finding his stolen honors
anything but comfortable. The day of re-
tribution is fastening on. Washington soci-
ETY. may be brilliant and thousands may
fawn around the usurper, but he will not be
able to obscure the fact that he is the presi-
Dental fraud. an official lie, a standing dis
grace of the country and of the century.
Everything around him is fraud, everything
is tainted with crime. 1t will not be long
until Hayes will realize his situation. The
soul damning perjuries which forced him
into the white house will take tangible and
horrid shapes in his diseased mind, then
they will hop about his room like toads, fly
around like vermnous insects, hiss like SER
penis, write his doom like the fingers of a
mans hand on the walls; they will haunt
him like ghosts, and play the devil with
him generally Under such circumstances
the mind of the presidential fraud will
weaken. Drunk with power, drugged with
crime, he will give his cabinet and
the country exhibitions of delirium result
ing from the willingness of weak intellect
to receive an overload of power from the
hands of men who obtained it by villainy
The performance is even now anticipated,
and limitations of what is in store for the
curious given.
Hayes, for instance, calls a cabinet meet
ing-all hands present Hayes enters with
measured step, and before taking his seat
says, Brother Evarts will open the meet

"Prayerl / will have you understand
that / am going to run the machine
with prayer" 'Hai ha! ha! that's good
Joke. by Jove." AS matter of course the
cabinet is astonished. Hayes subsidies and
mutters: "Evarts, secretary of state, and
don't pray, don't know how to pray; as for
'Schurz he is an infdel." At this, Schurz
says: "Mr. Prosedont-Vot vas dat remark7
'Py shimeny don't like dot berry mooch.'
Hayes mntters on: "Pm no president; am
a fraud. All these men are frauds Tilden
ought to be here" and then suddenly
jumps up and cries out: kill it, kill it,"
"Kill whatT' chimes in the constitutional
advisers of the fraud 'Kill that returning
board snake; its around my legs; at my
throat; great God it is in my hair-kIlI itr'
Out Of breath, pale and haggard,
the fraud subsidrs, closes his eyes and soliio-
quises: ''Tilden and Hendricks and reform.

dumb with Amusement. Schurz, at last
plucking mp courage, ventures to remark:
'Shentismans, vat dos dose dings meant

Evarts is Of the opinion that the intellectual

with questions Of ponderOus magnitude
requires profound rest. That his conscience
