The following communication was an
nounced from Cincinnati:

ode report am base canard," quietly
replied the President az be chewed the end
Of blotting pad. Dor am no sort o
doubt dat this club could have secured
several good places fur members, but We
didn't do it. In fack, we rejected places
freely offered. Up to dis date de Lime Kiln
Club an de Legislachur have acted
in perfeok harmony, but no man knows
how coon gulf may separate de two
bodies. We shall ask 10 fayors of dat body
in de way Of positions.
For four years past this club has faith
fully and with ohild.hke confidence
adopted and accepted the weather predic-
tions OF the Canadian Yennor, but the
oack of the camel has been bending for a
yer past and needing but one last straw TO
break it. No one was greatly surprised,
therefore, when Judge Chegso arose and
read the following preamble and resolution
through his nose:
WIZARDS, Dis club has bin frozen when it should
be thaa ed al thawed when it should be frozen, by
dePendin upon de weather predickshuns OF Protes-
sor Vennor n. o.. an wharas, dc said Nennor's
Billiards have TUNED out to be metin days, am his
far -ather has been buried in snow-stoTms now,
dsrfore,
ResoiUed, Dat from an AFTER dis date We no longer
consult his piediekshuns nor be guided by his SUI
misses.
The resolution was adopted by vote of
lG3 to ?, the negative members being Ell
der Toots and Samuel Shin.
The Secretary was then Instructed TO ad.
vertlse in the daily papers of Detroit for
proposals for furnishing the Lme-hiln
Club with straight weather for the year
1888
TIE Secretary then read letter from
Glasgow, Mo-. announcing the painful in
formation that Brother Biceps Traskers, a
member in good standing, had been rocked
10 sleep in death.
Pickles Smith asked for further informa.
ton. He had no doubt that the man was
dead, but if the letter contained any par
ticulars he would like to hear them.
The Secretary read the ertire com.
munication, from which it appeared that
Brother Traskers was angling for catfish
through hole in the ice on the Missouri
river, when death baited hook for him
and pulled him to the bottom.
The Rev. Penstock objected to the term
Crooked to Sleep" as irrelevant, and it
was changed to "Gone Under the Ice, ="
and the usual badge of mourning ordered
displayed for thirty days.
1t was further announced that the col
ored people of Oberlin, O., desired Brother
Gardner to decide if ''it was a breach OF
good manners to devour three dishes of ice
cream at a social gathering"
81 am not 'zactly posted on queshuns of
soshul etikit, replied the old man, but
in my own case l doan' think should call
fur the third dish widout splainin' to de
company dat had bin on short rashuns of
bacon an iohDny-cake fur de las TO weeks.
