Brine ShotfellOw should now seize a

He stood on the bridge (St. Mary's) at
midnight brushing the flies. of that
name of his.
Albert Richardson is somewhat of a
statesman. himself: while the boss takes
water inside he holds the reins of govern
ment outside.
Hisoner should now divide his salary
with Mayor Schramm, since he repre-
SCENTS only one-half of the town.

To insure the attendance of the king,
the next fair convention should be held in
a cockpit.
Expecting good from Brine is like
planting matches in the hope Of raising a
forest.
The bug family is attaining considera-
bly, eminence lately; the gold bug, the
silver bug. the hum bug, but the munich
pal bug takes every thing in sight and
reaches into the dark for more.
Brine should put an elderly egg on. the
top of that flagstaff; it would give
strength to the administration.
The King should issue wooden noses to
the sanitary inspectors. The ones they
are using now are inadequate, worn out
or stopped up.
Some mems heads, like pumpkins, go to
rind. There's a great deal of rind in the
city government.
Webster had certainly a spell on him
when he wrote his dictionary. Brine has
a spell on him every day, and he hasn't
written even a primer. It's q different
kim of a spell, however.
Beware of him whom God hath marked,
is a saying that well applies to one OF
Brine's literary buzzardS.
Brine is a very eminent man, to let him
himself tell it.
The king would like to be county Judge,
but McAlliSter would smother him in

it was a cigar stump. The yellow flag

Officer Setfel, one of the finest, arrested
one of the high city officials once or twice
and of course he had to go. An Aztec
takes his place.
The King kindly gives the fire depart

blanket brigade will probably march in

the King objected () to the raising OF
his salary.
After the king puts in his hired firemen,
we can expect to see something like this
in the papers:
when the fire broke out last night on
East Commerce street, the entire fire de-

tending a ward meeting, in the interest Of
the mayor. After the bells had rung for
