Horse r. r., were opened. and it was
with the utmost difficulty that the ''Sar-
gent-at-Arm prevented the members
from crushing each other in their wild
endeavors to subscribe for the stock.
After quiet had been restored and the
club had listened to the stretches Of the
presidents imagination, regarding his
trip in the valley, the meeting proceeded
| to discuss the merits Of the Fl. r. R.. and
as to whether it would pay to run the
road to Bridger canyon. Owing to a
difference of opinion between the MEM

party from Fort Ellis, the matter was
tabled.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Great Wonderland! of Calfee fame,
Whose profits Rountree sung,
While Demonthenes, Mcguire by name;
About thee, tired his lung
But will say this thing for thee,
Uncle Rufus land out doors;
No matter in what cline be,
I'll praise thy mystic shores.
The visiting dudesses may often blush,
With charming, natural grace;
But as long as thou obtain "rush,"
Will we thy beauties trace.
Here sheep and steer, with well-filled hide
Partake of grasses ripe;
They are the syndicates' pride,
To attach them is not right.
Great, glorious hotel, OF you,
What good thing shall We say?
Tell of the Livingston merchants. who
Are whistling for their pay?
New Jersey, foreign lands,
Is smaller far, than this vast place;
Where powdered fine, snow-white sands
Makes red-haired girls with freckled
face.
Here Hatch's singers and he-male dudes
Drank Extra dry" called Mumm
Studied nature in her moods,
And filled their skin with rum.

by the High Counselor, and in his usual
happy and glowing manner proceeded to
pay . profound tribute to the glorious
life and labor Of our departed "Ananias."
After brief and fifty speech of nine
hours and sixty-one minutes, the weak
and emaciated form of the c. G. B., slowly
arose and in his customary and emphatic
manner proceeded to round him up; "the
President recoiled Involuntary before
spectral apparition." So terrible in its Wig.
orous manhood was the result of his few
(?) remarks:
With the assistance of a powerful der
rick, operated by Hydraulic pressure"
the shadowy, but once robust, form of
our Secretary was placed in an upright
position, who then read letters of regret
from Mark Twain, Josh Billings, X. Beid.
Ter and Tom Ochiltree and Eli Perkins,
expressing themselves as highly pleased
with the clubs success and requesting to
be enrolled as honorary members. A
