Objections have been made on some sides
to the inconsistency Of burying Gen. Sher
man in st. Louis, city from which he fed
in disgust owing to the stringency in the en-
forcement of certain municipal laws. But

To young man EXpeters: No, ''baccarat"
does not rhyme with ''bat'' as you erroneous
ly suppose. The last syllable is pronounced
raw and it is decidedly raw deal that
it is just now giving the Prince of Wales.
Hence, your facetious attempt beginning:
''The Prince of Wales went on bat,
And played a game of baccarat"
is unavailable for use in these columns. But
do not be discouraged. Write again some
time when you have arrived at years of dis
cretion.
