I Correspondence of the Herald.]
Albany, Jan- 22,1843.
Highly important from Albany-Office-holder* alarmed?
The Devil to pay there?Slumm, Bangv and
CrotweU.? Senator Hunter, the Millionaire?Hit
Paradise upon Eaith?Bouck't Potiiion?'Ifie end
of the World.
With all your character for astuteness and keen
perception, Master Bennett, you have done at least
one negative wrong to yourself and the public. As
how 1 Why, you have no regular reporter at the
capital of the State, at this moment one of the most
interesting points of attraction in the universe.?
Why, sir, the very " devil is to pay" here?(I write
from Albany, you will perceive)?and, sooth to say,
" there is no pitch hot." Not a soul here, among
all the wise ones, can tell you any thing ahout the
position of affairs, except myself. You shall hear.
But, first of all, let ine dip a little into the fun of this
dull, stupid place.
You know John Van Buren 1 I mean Prince
John, by way of excellence, (I hate French words,
and that is the reaton I do not wri'e "par excellence
") Well, John is a great quiz in his way, and
iu fact I do not know a man more prone to mischief,
ti ijuici traj, lunu uiai same junii?uui <H llllll
more anon.
I mast begin with the Governor. Mr. Bnuck,you
know, brands six feet in his stockings, and is otherwise
well proportioned. The cast of his countenance
is benevolent, and the office seekers say he
is courteous in the extreme. Not a soul of that vast
army say a word against him upon any point or etiquette
; but they go the entire animil in cursing
him for not opening his mouth on the subject of appointments.
He receives them all in the blandest
manner; and as each new com-r presents himself
from your city, (and their name is " legion,") he is
received in a kind and fatherly manner, and made
forthwith at home. If any candidate, however, begins
to press his claims, you will see his Schoharie
Excellency undergoing a change from the mavitor
in modo to the reserved. He seems at a loss for
words to meet the numerous demands upon his official
favor, and not nnfreqruently waives the applicant
ofl with the consoling observation, that he is delighted
with the uncommon respectability of the |
gentlemen from New York, and wishes he had an
office for every one of tliem He then gives the
ca*?te by a mystic signal, which all seem to under- '
stand, and room is made for a recurrence of the infliction.
In good truth, old Lafayette never had his
right arm nearer dislocation than the Governor's,
from 11 A. M. till 2 P. M., when, as you know, the
dinner bell rings in all the hotels, and committees
rise and report progress, and ask leave to sit again ;
and Senators and Assemblymen come to a dead
halt in their speeches, and move for an adjournment.
1 remember the other day of being in the Senate
chamber, when a debate sprung up on that portion
of the Governor's message which recommends a repetition
of the instructions given last year to our representatives
in Congress to vote for refunding the
fine of one thousand dollars to General Jackson?a
fine you may remember imposed by Judge Hall
upon the old war horse for disobedience to Ins official
mandate. Mr. Senator Root opened in opposition.
In fact, he does three-quarters of the talk in
the Senate. The Slate is, and ought to be greatly
indebted to him for talking against time. It is a
m/iuf nffjnfllo I ot.tnnA* lo?iolo?i??? tk^.

country at large- is bound to honor his nine**, if tor
no other reason than his persevering cacatlii? upon
every question that comes up. 1 love that old man
eloquent. He reminds me of that truly poetical pas
sage in the bible, which speaks of Moses dying in
his one hundred and twentieth year, and yet possessing
all tho faculties ot mind and body in their full
vigor at tl?e time. 44 His eye was not dim, uor his
natural iorce abated." He (1 mean Hoot, not
Moses,) is the last of the 44 cock ed hats;" and,
therefore, I love his antiquity, and look upon him
withth? veneration of a child. But I am grieved
and sad when I hear him speak upon questions like
the foregoing, where every word he utters sounds
like thf hated hissing of a traitor- Where was
there a bolder or more consistent democrat than
Senatarr lloot in his palmy day 1 Where was there
an abler defender of the last war, or a warmer
admirer of General Jackson for his most glorious
defence ot New Orleans'? No where,
by G d. And, yet, in his old age, while
44 his eye is not aim, nor his natural force
abated,*' the sensation of depression and utter
sadness came over me while I witnessed the melancholy
prostitution of his fine talents and mature intellect
in his uniform opposition to every measure
emanating from the dominant partv. There would
be greatjoy in heaven over the reformation oi such
a man.
Speaking of politics reminds me of the existence
of the firm of Slamm, Bang dc Co., a combination
that you have rendered immortal. It was in your
own matchless Herald that I first saw that name,
style and firm given to that extraordinary party
which I opine is some time or other to give law to
this land of ours. I think you yourself are more
than halt a locofoco, and I'm sure that the clever
writer of your money articles is an entire animal.?
He voted the democratic ticket, I'll take my oath
of it. Go you and do likewise, and train up4'/<
jeun edittur" in the way he should go politically, as
well as in the fear and admonition of tne Lord, and
the admiration of the Virgin Mary. Go all this with
unlimited looseness I
Speaking of Slamm reminds me of Croswell and
Bryant. There's a juxta-posirion for you ! Cros
well, the conservative?Brvant tne cooling personification
of ice-water and Van Burenism, including
noetry without any soul in it. and the satunic Levi
I) Slamm, the red hot locofoco, radical, out andouter,
who lacks only a forked tail to entitle him to
take rank of the very devil himself. And yet Levi
is not a bad looking man, and I learn he has good
parts withal. But more of him hereafter. Don't
>U ICII JMUI iraurr-, especially ine IHIlies, ^Ciod
films *em) that he has a Grecian profile, Rood
leeth, a loveable mouth, and, like Prince Albert,
iandy hair. The ladies, you know, love sandy
haired men, and lor that reason lall in love with ju-t
such men as Slamm and yoursell?the former having
the requisite anent the hair, and the latter ha
ving the true gimlet of the eyes, like (he celebrated
John Wilkes, whose determined squint made him
ihe favorite of all 'he women You know it was
said of him that with all his ugliness and obliquity ol
vision, he could awpplant any man in the affections
?sf any lady in an interview of half an hour's duration.
His squint carried it all hollow. And ao of
the red hair?vide the pole of Martin Van Buren,
and Hume's History of England, title George the
Third, item, the North Briton, number 46 There
tore, long life to Bennett, with h's interes'ing iquinl
long live Levi D. Slanim, and besides, vivent bagand
tails !
The subject of the public printing is yet aII the
rage. I'm sick of hearing it discussed. Several times
have 1 been obliged to depart trom my otherwise
uniform habit of total abstinence, and take an antiemetic
in consequence. By the way, an article ol
yours has almost ruined all the tavern keepers in
Albany- Nobody drinks wine at the table any more;
it least the office seekers do not All the rum facts
have become diaphorou* All right, as long as ii
lasts?but the moment Jim Conner is nominated
for potash, Harry Riell for tobncco, Swackhammer
for flour, Vache for health olficer, Montgomery
Rank in tor inspector ol hides, Paul Groin for mens
nrer general, aud some twenty others for beef and
O'irk?I say when all thisisdoae, as surely it will he,
T his Excellency knows beans, the devil take the
hindmost of the disappoin'ed, and let all tavern
keepers and steam boats between this and New
York thereupon, lay in an extra quantity of stimulus
(' randy will rise in the market 60 per cent , while
flour and the solids will depreciate for lack of con
-sumption
As I said before, or meant,t<l*sy.r'he public print
ing is the engrossing theme. Crosweli's election
as State printer is the subject of much conversation.
Mo set of ihe majori'y could be more calculated to
disturb the unity of the locofoco party throughout
ihe State. For many years past the recipient of the
public patronage, and to an amount almost 4<jiiul to
haff a million of dollars, regarded as the clnei in
instrument ot the defeat of his parly in 1837, unpopular
in his manners and intercourse with the |*-ople.
grasping and aelfi-h in h is disposition?Croswi II, yon
will of course infer, is the successful man after all
obnoxious ns he is to the very men who appointed
him. Well, yon will ask, how was it tint under
such circumstances he distanced Bryant in the com
petition 1 I know a thing or two about this affair,
and will tell you the story. Bryant was not popular
with the minority ot the caucus, and the strong vote
he polled is only an evidence of the fuller Ittliny
which existed and still exists against Croswell,
the old enemy, ns you know, of the Uemii
of Tennessee?1 mean General Jaoksen ? i
Connected with this, the entire moral force of th? 1
Mew York delegation went in favor of the appoint- 1
rnent ofSlamm as printer to the House, which it was I
well known could not be effected if Bryant had ?
hern elected State printer- The neutraliaition of r
this influence ensured from Crosweli's sucfeas, for t

notwithstanding the hearty dislike of the city mem- i
bersto him, their warm, and I must nay deserved
feeling, for the editor of the Plebtian, (the man <
with the sandy hair [ mean), dictated the course
hey pursued. Slainrn, in fact, would have made a 1
....... . f I..V...I.IVV n^ni IIOl ?>rUBWn:,yUUI]j|$ i I ^ II"
(lie H only llnriy?quite an interesting ug(\ l>ui ??t<1 '
enough lor a oeard), than Bryant, had he Ml dts.N>aed
to euter the course. Of the twenty-live in a ori i
tv received by Crnswell in caucus ten came from
the first Senate District T .is vote in opposition,
with the influence which it would certainly have
exercised, would have laid the "Prince ol the three
wall palace" most efl' clually on the shelf. 1 am
satisfied that the defection in "the party" is serious, i
and will result 111 making this State, in 1814, at
least debateable ground. There is great coldness
between the heads ot the departments and the "Old
White Horse;" and it will require more tact in Gov.
Bouck to ride the storm than people give him
credit for. In the Senate the division is palpable,
and the factions nearlv balanced. Foster, the con
servative, member of Congress in 1837, who made
Thomas Allen, (printer, and who .opposed Van Buren's
system of finance, a man, by the bv, of considerable
talent, but wanting in personal popularity,
is the leading man of the majority faction. Senators
Varian and Scott have, until this present writing,
acted with him. How long they will remain,
being shrewd politicians, I w. II not undertake to say.
Then are tmidtntly alarmed Their desertion to the
more popular side, the minority, would change the
whole aspect of things.
Of the twenty-two loenfoeo Senators, twelve have
thus far identified their fate with Croswell'a. Unenviable
position! Senator Hunter, one of the most
able and cautious of our legislators, is at the head
of the opposition. I must digress from ihe politician
to speak of the m in. Did you ever take a
quiet drive on the Pelham road in Westchester
county, say from Harlent or thereabouts to New
Flochellel No! Well, my dear fellow, mount
your tilbury and chuck Mrs. B. under ihe chin, and
say, " Duckv, let's go and see Senator Hunter."?
Thereupon Mrs. B. puts on her shawl and says,
" my dear, I'm ready," and then in two hours, by
Shrewsbury clock, von fin?f vn?r.?ir !.?. m..........
of Senator Hunter, on the in are in of the Soun?1,
surrounded by shrubbery and accessiories worthy
of a terrestrial paradise. Yet, surrounded as he is
by all that weulth can command, including paintings
of the old master* in his gallery thai a million
cannot buy, 1 find him a pure, single minded democrat,
a perfect locofoco, a triend ot the people, an
honest man, and a glorious specimen of humanity.
Associated with this distinguished gentleman are
the talent, honesty and enthusiasm of the Senate,?
the men, who, when they speak, awake the popu
lar impulse,? I mean such men as Sherwood, and
Denniston, and linger, and Scott, Htid Strong and
the bke?the very soul of the democracy. It will
be seen from this that with such material agiinst
him, Governor Bouck could not remain over two
years a stranger to the county oi Schoharie.?
The secret of this early opposition to the n*w
Executive, is the suspicion that he will place
himself under the influence of that old, corrupt,
bank speculating, demoralizing, contemptible
clique of managers, who, if permiited to direct,
would involve the State in ruinous debt, and revive
and give vitality to that infamous system of legisla
tion which for so many years disgraced the Democratic
ascendancy, and caused the sacred name of
Democracy to stink?ay, stink in the v^-ry nostrils
of the honest portion of the people. Nothing has
yet. however, fallen from ihe Governor to justify the
suspicion, and it hasHrisen, probably, from the fact
that the men composing the old regime, proverbial
as they are fortht-ir impudence and inuu?trv, inirude
themselves, atall times, in the Governor's presence
His very bed room is not sacred, and "Sunday
shines no Sabbaih day " to him. The most modem
men here are members of the firm of Slamin, Bang
and Co.?or the ultra locofocos. It would be unfortunate
for the old farmer, should he throw himself
into the embraces of improper men. 1 know that
they will break down his administration in three
months, snd make him the most unpopulai Governor
New York ever had -always saving and excepting
that first executive from the agricultural community,
Goveinor Yates?him that used to refer all
applicantrf'o the one Democratic representative from
New York city, with the words?" Well, den, what
does lorn Hyatt say 1** [Speaking of Tom Hyatt,
did you ever know that he was a better man than
his Vice President, in that old Lombard which was
the cause ol Hyatt's persecution 1 Query, which of
the two deserved the incarceration? More anon.]
I have no more space remaining to advise you of
the fashions, fee , but in my next you will please to
look out lor luu. and no politics Ariel.
P.S.?Tom Carr, the Consul, is here in white
gloves. He is a devilish clever fellow. To have
seen Tom, in his drab upper Benjamin, walking
wing and wing with Col J. C Hart, and that sandy
whiskered individual, Levi D. Sltimm, one would

Ma. Bennett :?
We are now in the middle of winter, the weather
intensely cold. The thermometer for one 'or two
da>s was from five to ten degrees below r.ero, which
in unusual for this place. We have had beautiful
sleighing for the past ten days, which is uncommon
for our city?seldom is the earth covered with snow
for more than two or three days at a time. Our
young men have embraced the opportunity of givinc
sleigh rides to their favorites, the ladies; some of
them,I grieve to say, found it much more convenieni
to pay the livery stable keeper for his sleigh and
one horse, at the rate of one dollar per hour,
than th-ir bills contracted for the necessaries of life,
such as bo rd bills, tailor's bill, and washe.rwoinan'bill;
all those must be deferred, postponed and put ofl
to a more ' convenient season," to give young men
an opportunity of appearing well and highly born to
the fair creatures, who are duped and misled by
these would like-to-be considered wealihy men, and
honorable without tne stamp of merit. Many of
the young ladies are taught to believe all is "gold
that glitters," and if they can succeed in gaining
the hand of a young man of this class, their voyage
down the stream of life will be attended with all
the pleasure their imagination portrays to them
" Who chooscth from among that class shall get as
much as she deserves." The young man. who acts
n >bly and manly, and make known to them, whom
their fancies choose, that " all ihe wealth hey possess
runs in their veins," are hooted from the
presence of their admirers by maiden aunts, who i
set themselves up to choose for others, possessing i
diff*rentfeeling and disposition i
All was Itle and animation on New Year's day
Weather beautiful. Here we have adopted your (
beautiful enntom of interchanging visits, and the i
annual renewal of social communion. It Was truly 1
a festival day. The ladies bedecked lhemae|ve>
with joyous countenance*, and received their vim
lom in a becoming manner; misunderstanding and i
ill-feeling were surtereil to nana min ,,ki:_:? .....u
the old year. Nothing occurred to mar ibr s
pleasures o| the day. One yung man, who min- I
g'ed with the throng and acted hi" part in the first <
scene of ihe first act ot the Nrw Year's drama, and
was in the enjoyment of good health, scarce had
the -cene changed, ere ha received a wound, which I
has hurried him " to that bourne from whence no ;
traveller returns." i
The oristin of the affray was this. At a public ball i
;iven at Concert Hall, Mr B. 9. Farr, Attorney at
t.aw, accompanied by a lady, to whom he * ?> I
betrothed, was refused admission by Mr. I- B '
Walker, merchant, formerly Walker Rennet, I
who acted as one otlhe manager* the following c
day it was the topic of conversation among ihe ac- 1
plain'ances of the parties. About two o', lock, the p
parties met opposite the post office, an explanation v
wus asked for. which was returned by the latter tl
tutting a ball through the former; he purvtved si* it
days, upon hisdes h being made known to the Judges t
hey adjourned the respective courts; the members v
f the Bar met and passed resolutions expressive ol c
their berievement, and that "they would wear <
crape upon the lett arm for thirty da).-.." A vert
,irgeconcourse attended hisfuneral, as the affianced i
lady followed the remains, bedecked in the weed- tl
of mourning, teats triakling down her lovely face, n H
murmur deep but not loud, ran through the multi- tr
tide, expressive of their regret thai one so young I
diould have met with an untimely end. Mr W :i
was immediately arrested and held to hail in the gi
nun of 920,01X1, which was given. Unon ihe de- c<
nise of Mr. F. he was again arrested, and after pi
wading through the testimony, the Justice brfort ct
whom he waa examined, said " his case was not e
reliable." He wasconunitted to priis-n. The sam N
svemng he waa brought before their Honors, Man- te
ling and Mullamphy, who reversed the decision ol th
he Justice. Mr. w. is related to familief in our in

The members of the bnr, resolved, " That in the
death of Mr Farr, we feel that the community has
lost a man, who in the flower of youth (25 years
old) and comparatively u stranger, had already hy
ins -1 nti tble depor rnent and generous feeling,gained
the frieudshri of all who knew him."
Tuts m l nicholv affair lias cast a gloom ever our
city, and caused the parties, which were well attended
before this occurred, to be but poorly at
tended At tbe next party in order of the e<-ries,
but six ladies were p.eseut; it waspostponed to last
evening when but twenty ladies attended, notwithstanding
the additional attraction of Frank Jolin on
ic Cn.'s band.
The severity of the season has put a check to all
kinds of business, except at retail to supply the city
consumption. All the rtveis above are closed, with
the exception of the Missouri, which is open some
few miles above Sr. Charles. The ice is running so
rapidly below onr city, as to forbid boats ascending.
The sieamer " Vlary Tompkins," was sunk u few
days ago near the mouth of the Missouri river?she
was descending with the ice from St. Charles?she
had on board 600 barrels flour The best price for
flour offered is #2 75; wheat 45 cents a bushel; corn.

desireab'e, it having been offered tor less than 60

I noticed in the " Express" of your citv, of a late
date:?" Thedilficulty of transmitting funds to distal
t points is as great as ever. A gentleman a ew
days since had occasion to pay five thousand dollars
in Iowa; after making every enquiry, and re-orting
to every expedient, lie was compelled to transmit
the gold, and to pay a very considerable sum to an
individual to lake it on. ThiH inconvenience was
unknown when the United States Hank was in existence.
Then it W48 only neccpaary to enclose a
post note payable to order, and pay twenty-five
cents postage, and in due course ot mail it would be
placecl at any p unt without loss or inconvenience
The difference between now and then can hardly
he ca'cuNud.'* i
Now Mr Bennett I have never read as stupid an
article as the one I have just quoted, and to come
from Mr. Brooks, who makes pretensions to financial
knowledge, it is outrageous. If he is so tar
frotn the truth in the above article, which 1 know
is not so, what confidence, I ask, can I place in
those articles which I am unacquainted with 1 A
boy 15 years old would know better than to bring
gold or eastern funds to the west. Now I will inform
the editor of the " Express," thai he may no
tall into a similar error, that had the said five thousand
dollars been deposited in one of your banking
institution*, a certificate of ifsiuuiic r.muuhto m or.
tier,) for the same which had been seut to the person
in leva by mail, it would have been received
by him in due time without any inconvenience, and
the said certificate would command a premium of
one percent in specie over the amount deposited in
the institution, which would have been a saving of
the two bits, or twenty-five cents, and enough besides
to have bought he or she a new suit of cloihes.
I had always thought you had done h.m great injustice
in giving him ihe name of "booby Brooks," but
the article I have taken from his paper, confirms me
in the justness of the appellation, and I might add
with propriety " silly."
Our Legi lature is in session, doing nothing but

My Dear Sik?
This is a great State, and conspicuous amongst
nil the rest for otir great financiers You talk of
Wall street; why, sir, Wall street is not a begin
ning to us. We can make und unmake banks taster,
we can swindle by them, and still be noticed ill
the community; we can build large houses, hold possession
of them, and take the benefit of the bankrupt
law, and live in them, perchance be the owner
after we get through; we can move banks from one
part of the State to the other, one day paying specie
and 'he next refusing; all th's can we do in the
way of banks, and be sustained by the community.
We are natural born financiers; half a dozen ot
our merchants are hankers. They have a large circulation
of their own, what you call shinp'ast'r*.? J
To be sure this is a penitiarv offence, but we are so
fond of paper, if it has the least semblance of money,
that it is tolerated ; besides, paper is so much
.nore sightly than coin, a quarter printed like a bank
note on a large piece of paper, signed by half a dozen
of res|>ect ihle men, ol financial talents, is more
respectable It has not a locofocoish look?nothing
vulgar. Our legislature, thinking they could legislate
to please Us, passed a law piohihiting the i-une
of small notes, and made it a penal 'flence The
law is a dead letter, and although "he circulating
notea of all the banks that are doing business are
redeemed in specie, si ill the State is over run with
small hills and very little specie of course in circulation
Specie is very troublesome.
The head of financiers now is John O Winter, a
very worthy, clever, talented man. He is at the
head of the St. Mary's Hank, and has a large amount
of small notes in circulation drawn in Florida us
cheeks, from six cents to one dollar, payable in Columbus,
Augusta und Charleston, less two per cent.
He has sii agent in every town in the Stnte, and his
business is to travel from one end of the State to the
other with his bag full of notes, to keep every place
supplied with the amall notes, as he finds it quite
embarrassing when Hny considerable amount n returned
upon nim T)r Collins is our next distinguished
financier, and a good man he is in everv
-ruse. He has been at the he d of several banks,
ill of which apivared to thrive from his prescriplions,
hut believing he has nad a good deal of experience,
he will understand the systoms even better
in future; at any rate he has confidence in himself

and accomplished man, who headed the
'henix Bank lie studied under vour grear Gamalel,
and this Bank was raised on the ruins of an old
inner rn, and received its alasstcal name thereby.?
This financier figured for a year as banker and sniper
of cot'on. anil received a credit from one of
our French bouses to buy cotton, lie drew for
hiriy-five thonsnnd dollars and shipi>ed tliem as
lucb as he could?settling all up very honorably

our city, and they promise they will import some i

perloim his promise >n any maimer whatever, 'i he consequence
has been a continued disagreement between
them, and on or rboutihe doth ol last month she was conlined
to her bed from illness, arising from this dispute and
other causes. The testimony a* presented beiore the police
yesterday by Mary Curliu, who was a servant in the

who were assisting Mrs. Mount during her illness, was to
the loilowiug vtfect:?That about one o'clock oil the alternoon

girl placed the powder on Hie mantel piece, and Mount,
who had stepped out in the meaulime, letumed and put it
in his pocket. Tu-t about seven o'clock in the eveniug,
Mre. Mount desired some toast water, which was pre.
pared ; but beiere given to her, Mount reiuuikud to the
seivaut girl thai it wanted some sugai iu 11, and he Iheii
took the cup containing the water, and put a laige tea

it is So bitter 1 Can't drink it?what haa Ueeii put in it I"
The servant girl tasted of it, and it was then put on the
table, when Mount immediately took the cup and removing
the lire board threw its content* on the hearth.
Mrs Mount heiseil testifies that when she charged her
huthani with the attempt to poison iter, he did not deny
it, but cried, and asked her lo loigive bun. There cir.

Lifk and Advknti kks or Martin Cncuwrr.
By Charles Dickenn, Ltq.?The first part of this
new work by Boz, hasjus' been issued by Winchester,
of the " New World." A? it costs about three
cents, and will be in every body'* hand, we need
not trouble ourselves by giving sny outlina of the
character and plot of Martin's Adventures, so tar **
developed in these introductory chapter*. W? do
not think, however, from the specimen before us,
that this work will add much to Mr. Dickens' repu
tdtion. There are occasional flaahes of that quaiat
humor which so highly characterized some of hia
former productions, but the style is generally laboured,
and in often very pointless and very dull.
Tom Hdrkr of " Orns " By Charlen Ijtvtr, Etq.
?This work will form the second volume of "Our
Mew," and front the style and character of tha first
part, which has been published in an extra " New
World," we have no hesitation in forming the opinion
that " Tom Bukkk " will prove himself entirely
worthy of companionship with hm accomplished and
agreeable predecessor " Jack Ihnton, who met
such a fl t'UrinK reception from 'he public. Dr. Lever
is, we consider, in many points I*r superior to
Mr. Dickens. In humor, pathos, snd t-kill in the delineation
of character, Lever ia fully equal to Boi,
whilst lie far excels him in his descriptions of natural
scenery, and vigorous developm*nt of incidents.
"Tom Burke " will, of course, be universally read,
L. S. D., or Accounts of Irish Hants. By
Samuel Liner.?Mr. Lover is another Irieh wriierof
great power. lie is, indeed, a man ol extraordinary
genius and versatility of talent. He writea all sorts
of humorous stories?sketches and etches all sorts
of funny illustrations?and composes all sorts sf exquisite
songs, which he seta to music, known and
.ulmired all the world over. The new story which
Mr. Lover has commenced under the rather singular
title of "L S. D "promises to lie exceedingly
