- LIFE: ENTR'ACTE, BETWEEN the acts, upon the stage, The idle Thespians engage In games of poker without end, ‘The while the heroine doth mend Her ballroom gown of musty age. The stage-director, in a rage, Doth war upon the “supers ® wage, Because the scraggy limbs offend— Between the acts, The swell, emotion to assuage, Doth suck his cane in manner sage. While men go out "to see a friend,” Their wives, the interim to spend, Peruse the programme—every page, tween the acts. —America. Huspanp (severely): What! more money ? Suppose I was dead —you would have to beg for your cash. Wire (ca/mly): It wouldn't be as though I had never had any practice, sir.—Chtcago Globe. : Dr. D. G. Brinton, Philadelphia, says : “* After trying any number of soaps, we have settled down on Packer’s Tar Soap as the best of all, whether as a toilet or a sur- gical soap. It is remarkably pure, cleansing, and healing ; it is excellent in a large variety of skin diseases, among which we particularly name seborrhoea of the scalp, dandruff, chafing, and itching, all of them very common and very obstinate. It contains the balsamic virtues of the pine in a high degree, and is soft and refreshing to the skin."”— Vide Medical and Surgical Reporter, Phila. ; UNDOUBTEDLY You will be puzzled when you endeavor to select Houi- pay Girts.

Now I'm sure you will do admirably /— Punch, Cot, ELtiotr SHEPARD, the hypocritical ass who edits the New York Mail and Express, and who places at the head of his editorial columns every day a verse from the Bible, is making another exposure of himself, In a recent editorial article he turns his bloodshot eyes in the di- rection of this section and furiously inquires of the South : ** Do you want War?” The blooming idiot then goes on to remark : “We are speaking soberly, with self-restraint, but in terrible earnest, when we sound this note of warning. When Cump Sherman talks about fire and bloodshed nobody minds it: bat when a bald-headed snipe of the valley like Pecksniff Shepard begins to tamper with the dogs of war, it is time for the whole country to stand from under.—Af/anta Constitution.
