What has become of our Montague
scribeg We long for news from that lively
township There Is lots Of politics in the
air, and in the papers, but that is too much
ike cake and confeotions; One gets fed
through on it, and hopes for something in
teresting in local news. VIII ye editor
kindly wake him up, and explain that we
miss his contributions
The noted politician who mouths so
much around the hotels and to small boys,
about making matches out of switch tim
Der, seems to be carrying some awful
secrets which he is trying hard not to hold
1t will be more by good luck than good de-
serts, if some of the matches 1t makes does
not get scratched on his external economy.
If he only knew how silly he appears to
sensible people he would expend little of
his surplus wealth in having the Doctor
trepan him, and either inject little cheap
brains, or extract a little low grade alcohol.
