> LIFE: House of Representatives, and having on many other occa- sions presented a rather unenviable record to the public, is therefore worthy of the club whose motto is, “‘ As we journey through life let us lie by the way ;” therefore, so be it RESOLVED, That this club hereby extends its hearty sup- port to the Honorable James G. Blaine, of Maine, and offers its best efforts to the full extent of its lack of veracity to ac- complish his, the said Honorable James G. Blaine, of Maine, election ; and it is also RESOLVED, That Brothers Whopper Smithers, Ananias Stuftclub and Struckdum Timkins be and are hereby appoint- ed a committee of three to draw up suitable campaign tru- isms worthy of the Liars’ Club for use in utterly annihilating that son of Truth and enemy of our common interests, Grover Cleveland. Brother Calamity W. Jinx having seconded the resolutions they were carried by a vote of seventeen to six, the minority taking the stand that the “ Whereases trod on facts to too great an extent to be consistent with the dishonor and immo- rality of the club.” They were.voted down, however, and declared themselves satisfied, which declaration was received with applause, as it constituted by far the most magnitudinous effort of the even- ing, and was considered good enough to adjourn on. The Republican National Committee having been apprised of the result, the whole club repaired to the Hotel Brunswick at the expense of the Federal employees.

I °VE a telegram sent by ‘‘ Harry,” It asks me to go to the Beach, And the eloquent lines before me Flatter and urge and beseech, To the Beach !—with its bright buoyant breakers, With its stretch of smooth marble-like sands, With its murmur and rustle of romance ‘That the heart hears and quick understands ! To the Beach !—where we 'll watch o'er the heaving ‘And the tremulous breast of the sea, The moon as she rises in beauty, And lights up my Harry and me. To the Beach !—oh, the note is suggestive Of dinner and Pommery fizz— But the first name is all that he’s signed here, And I don’t know which Harry it is. —Puck, A Paris paper contains the following cool advertisement ; ‘Found, on Sunday last, a lace mitten, embroidered with pearls.
