A Resplendent FINISH.
The Afric animal no more
In sullen apprehension frets;
For, even should his day be DER.
Think of the glory that he gets!
The courier from the jungle deep
To bear the news all swiftly flies,
And telegraphic lightnings leap
To tell the world of his demise.
And when the journals have made known
This victim of heros strength,
The headlines they employ alone
Would measure many miles in length!
