Mauckamuck and Lhllpad.

II ana sad, / am sad, /" sang the sweet Lilipad,
"My people have treated me mean;
Ny throne is knocked down they have taken
my crown.
No longer they call me the queen.
My chopper stands still, and I've nothing to
kill;
am sad, l am sad; woe Is mine:
We are all out o. meat, and I've nothing to
eat,
Not even cold missiona rec.
Then the High Muckamuek was so forcibly
struck
With the plant that came over the sea
That he made a posish for a special Commish
To go and let Lillipad free;
To set up her throne, and restore to her own
TIL dusky but beautiful Queen;
To give bach her lands and put in her hands
The key of her c%hopping machine.
Sang Lillipad, "Wait only til when
The Muckamuck gives me my chance;
will chuck in a hole their President Dole
And lead them a d ltferent dance.
That son of a gun will not have so much fun
When l start up my ~ckippery chopper
And send him and his with a rollicking whiz
KerswoIlergog into the hopper"
But the mild Muswump-that sweet scented
ehump
Emitted a feminine shrek,
And the bold K~ickapoo said, 81 will kick, too,
At the Muckamuck's singular freak"
So the Mugwump wumped and the Kickapoo
slumped,
And the Flubber fippery. topped.
And the Muckamuck saw that will wasn't
law
And then said, "Let this nonsense be stop
ped"
Then the M~uokamuck said, 20 1 have a great
head.
They mistake if they think Pm too fresh;
l didn't begin it and haven't been it,
I'll lay the whole thing on to Gresh'.
l was fooled by the swash of his gibberygosh
And not by the Lillipad's song;
He sent the unlucky galoot from Kentucky
Toredress the great national wrong"
So he gave it a chuck-did the High Muck
amuck,
And the budget to congress he flung.
With never Il word to show he had heard
The song by the Lillipipand sung;
No casual mention of any intention
To crafty ~Lillipad's spleen,
But calmly ignoring all thought of restoring
The key of the ~chopping machine.
Now sings Lillipad, "Oh, l feel mighty bad
In my little sbebang by the sea-;
Oh, why was l stuck on the High Muck
amuck,
And why did he t'ifle with me?
He has left me alone without any throne
Oh council IN whom can l lean;
l am bankrupt in purse, n what is stil
worse,
They have locked up my ~chopping ma
chine"

Sentiment and humor were agree- ably exempiited and eontrasted in the entertaining program provided at the hall of the Exposition build ing. The partnership isa happy one. This was conclnsispiy shown by the liberal appla use eimpartially bestowed upon both entertainers by the large and interested audience present. Mir. Nye has been heard here before As a humorous writer his wide reputa- ton has been maintained for many years, not only hy the apparently in exaustible supply of sketches that have kept his name before the public, but by the originality of his work, his quaint conceits and unexpected turns of expression. And there is probably no one who could surpass Nye himself in preserving in their re- cital the humOf of these sketches. His appearance and demeanor are most helpful in conveying the effect produced by a man of melancholy
 mien, who in the grayest manner
 makes side-splittiHg remarks, and
 the few gestures he permits himself are infmitable. Of his numerous rec 'itations last evening. probably the most effective as il was the most natural, was his imitation of thecun- ventional schoolboy Of thirty years ago. and his mauner of reading the conventional story exploiting the conventional youth of that period

 ceedfng owing to the uncontrollable
 laughter of his au fience Louis tNo. Republic.

MORNING SESSION.

MORNING SESSION.
 Court convened promptly at g o'clock.
 Charles Hawson was the first wit ness called. He testified that he had known the defendant since 1892; this was while defendant was working for Mr. Neville. He considered the defendant man of sound mind and that he never saw anything strange or peculiar in his manner while he was with him.
 II. R. Adams was again called and testified that he had known the de- fendant ever since the year 1875, al though he had not been with him very often since that time, but that while he was with him he saw nOth- ing in his manner that led him to believe him insane.
 Shelby Currie testified that he met the defendant last August and had seen him several times. On Monday evening before he heard of the killing of McGehee he met Scott a few miles below Pine Bluff and coming iD the direction of this city. He said the defendant was riding rapidly when he first saw him, but that when he approached him he slowed up his' pace and that as he passed he did not speak and had bis hat pulled down over the side of his face.
 During the testimony of Gurrie the jury was sent out of the court room as it was claimed by the counsel for the defense that Currie's testimony should have been brought before the jury during the regular testimony of the witnesses.)
 PHYSICIANS CALLED.
 pr. 4. c. Jordan was first called, but owing to his having heard all the testimony objections were offered against his testimony, and the Doctor was only allowed to answer questions based upon hypo- thetical questions.
 At this point the counsel for the defense were allowed to introduce three new witnesses. The first in troduced was Mrs. Girley, who testi- fled that the defendant boarded with her the first of last winter and then again il few days before the killing. She testified that the defendant talked foolish and said that he was going to get married and go to the Worlds Fair: that while boarding with her he would go from room to room and oct upy first one bed and then another. In the cross-examin- alton she testified that a drunken man would act pretty much in the same manner as did the defendant; he acted as though he was crazy OF drinking
 J. H. Brown testified that he lived near Woodson, in Saline county; got acquainted with the defendant in ls69. For two years he lived about mile from him; after that he moved across the river about three miles, During that time the defendant was sober and as hard working man as ne ever knew. The defendant bought a farm and paid for it; after that he seemed to become reckless; that de- iendant would tramp around Little Rock, hut didn't know anything about his home; that hc judged from his actions that he was crazy, aud that his plantation went to ruin. After that he lost sight of the de- fendant.
 Court adjourned here for noon recess.
