the privilege accorded invited guests by
secion Al, article XVI, of the bylaws,
one was admitted on payment of p cents,
as he had only so about his clothes, and
needed three with which to get back to
Hoboken: and one who had formerly
been Mr.. Johnson's silent partner in an
extensive kalsomining contract, was adj
mitted on that gentleman's note of
hand, payable in thirty days. and in
dorsed by Elder Jubilee Anderson.
There were also present Prof. Brick.
Messrs. Cyanide Whiffies and Tooter
Williams, the elder, and Rev. Mr..
Thankful Smith, who as usual occupied
the chair.
The reading of the minutes of the last
meeting was dispensed with upon mo-
ton OF the secretary, who had inadyer
IDENTIFY left them home in his other
pants.
Notice was given by Prof. Brick that
at the next meeting he proposed to i'll
trOduce an amendment to the conStitIl-
ton. providing for the payment of l D
US. He thought that if the treasurer
assumed charge of these tokens, and
prosecuted their signers with due dill
gence, both the financial condition and
happiness of many members would be
materially advanced.
TOOter Williams rose to question of
privilege. Did the honorable gentleman
intend to be personal in this PROPOSE
ton?
The professor denied auy special ref
erence to any member present.
Den whuffer yo' gaze me straight in
de vi fer?" belligerently inquired Mr..
Williams. "YasS yo' did! gaze me
straight in de vi, yo' did. N whuffer yo'
do dat?"
"Gotter gaze at somebody, heZn't -"
queried the professor, evasively.

Mr.. Williams glowered upon the pro-
fessor, and murmered something rele-
want to seeing him later, and both sat
down.
Gus Johnson then mounted the plat
form, and, announcing as his subject,
''Bobtail Strakes, Flisks n. Siders,''
spoke as follows:
''De niggah dat'll wade in agin one
man, wen all he's got'S strake busted

''De 'ception in yo' case," rejoined
Mr.. Johnson, with a dignity which be-
fitted his position, ''am when yo' am
