SUBSTITUTE FOR CORK.

Notwithstanding all the achieve
ments of practical science, there are
some indispensable materials the
making of which is still natures
secret, and for which no entirely
successful substitute has yet been
found. Among these substances is
cork. 1t is possible, however, as has
recently been pointed ont by an
eminent authority, that nature her
self has, in this case, offered us a
substitute in the wood of tree
growing on the east coast Of Lake
Tchad, in Africa, which is of even
less specific gravity than cork.

Which on to Colonel Walker, chung

And In his most bewitchtng wsy,
The Colonel did set out
The Judge to tell. some things 20 say.
This portrait all about.
The few remarks the Colonel made
Were brief and 10 the point
But what he did and what he said,
Ne'er put Judge out of joint.
But yet the Judge in his own way,
With answer right at hand,
With profuse thanks went on to say
What came FIRST to command.
He thanked the members of the Bar,
And the court officials too,
And pledged, that not a blot should
mar
His Oath to carry through.
His talk was short, mis- words were
kind,
And his feeling quite intense,
But what was said you sure will find,
L short, was quite immense
And that was enough.
