What a Galaxy!


Mr.. EDITOR :-Phew. did ever
anybody hear of such times before!
didn't know this little old "mole
hilP' of planet of ours could boast
of such geniuses as are turning up
from various points. How thank
full ought we to be that talents have
been distributed so lavishly in our
midst, and that the Ever Merciful
is so prodigal OF his best, choicest
gifts to man.
We ought never to forget that
this is world of progress, and
that with such celebrities as Kully,
Anxious, CA" Old Salt, Leo, Lionel,
Maxima and the rest of 'em, feeble
imitation should be our duty to
ourselves, and we should appreciate
our great good tourtune in living in
the same age with them and the
sweet privilege that has been given
US of knowing them through their
gorgeous productions in the "CITI-
ZEN" Think of the correspondents
of "tumble-bu notoriety-consid
er their bone of contention-can
anybody imagine anything more
calculated to throw light on the
dulled intellects of a stupid people?
Was there ever anything in the way
of newspaper correspondence more
edifying to the world and more
gratifying to the parties i'm
mediately concerned? ga" evident
ly don't care for expenses, and in
his last able article he does his
whole duty by Kully-does him up
in the happiest manner imaginable
and battle is now Gin orderf'
Please fght-'twould be such an
appropriate, happy little termina-
ton to that interesting word-war!
Now. Kully, come forth like little
man and give GAP chance to de-
nolish that beautiful, well-covered
head of yours-to ruthlessly ex-
tract few locks of silky hair to
prove to a doubling universe that
you are not bald headed! And that
Bohemian man! Can't he be i'm
bued with a spirit of the times
and be induced to let graveyards
and such like alone, and give some
.coveting brother a chance TO strike
at him?'
"Maxima' is recuperating, prob
ably-she spent considerable of her
force on t. L. N.-but as she has
been given a rest. she will burst
forth in all her pristine splendor and
astonish the natives some more
Long may she wave!
Slowly, but steadily and surely,
the "lesser lights mot necessary
to specify are climbing to the top,
and they, too, will soon be famous;
they must get up a row speedily,
though, as skirmishes are necessary
to ones advancement!
How tremblingly offer my last
affectionate tribute to genius-how
sensible 1 am of my unworthiness-
and how impressed l am with
the stupendousness Of the undertake
ing-I mention him last not be-
cause he don't rank first among the
celebrated poets of the land, but 1
reserve him for my last, best effort
IT'S of the Poet, M. d. that speak,
and l conjure everyone in this civil
lied world of ours, to read, study
and learn TO appreciate his incom
parable brain scintillationsi His
last immortal production was ad
dressed to "Lionel," in which he
begged that young man to wake up
and sing! and if he can do half as
well as Nj. d. says he can, he'd bet
ter .sget up and sing; his music
shouldn't be lost to the world.
So get up, shake yourself, rub
your eyes, touch your Tyre, Lionel,
and unless the Foet is a l-r
''Sticks and stones,
And dead mems bones,
Will gaIly dance alongm
We don't believe this, and call on
the gentlgman to prove that this
gifted poet is not trying to fool us
all. We are very anxious to hear
the singing-gratify us; make us
happy, oh! lionel!
