day evening, by Mr.. Birney Mcclure to
Col. F. G. Meyers and his friends, full
account of which appeared in the Reg
| lister of yesterday, was most enjoya-
| Bile occasion. In quoting the poem of
the evening it was enormously credited
to DR.. c. F. Ulrich, thereby doing its
/ author, Col. Meyers, an unintentional
! injustice. 1t is such gem that we re-
| produces it in full this morning:
PROHIBITION.
! At our last banquet here,

SO think 1t necessary to explain
/ My position on the question of prohibition
[ AS miGht be counted in that class.
/ was asked to explain my position
On the question of prohibition.
| did oppose prohibition,
And still hold the same position.
| But I don't think it right
! For noble man to get tight,
| Or, to be little more plain,
And give the thing the proper name,
| That is for man to get loose
And make of himself a goose.
| Or to drink too much beer or wine
| And act as the animal called the swine
That crawls an the earth on all four,
And takes the filth thrown from any door.
Or to grown and bark like dog,
| Or to wallow in the mire like hog,
! Or to act like goat that is called the
| That butts around the world and acts so
! very silly.
All these things / don't want man to i'm
But walk as God intended upright and
straight;
To partake of all those things in moder-
alton
And with the gods to take his station.
want man to be merry, eat and drink,
| But never to the level of the brute crea-
ton sink,
For man was made to look up on high,
| To Him that rules earth and sky.
| But brute creation to look down:
only man was formed TO wear crown.
! To do the right without restrain
| Should be mans highest aiIn
| That is the only way we can tell
| The honest from the criminal in the cell.
| want man to take such high position
That we viii need no such law as prohi-
bition.
| Now | wish to close just here,
| AS | see such man in the true German
pioneer.
| The Misses Blanche Laue and Mar
| garet Bard were the charming hostesses

citing as well as interesting. At the

ger captured the second.

/ The concert given by the Philharmon-
| ic Quartette last Thursday evening,
| was distinct success, both in the
number of patrons and the skill of the

named for the renowned violinist was
