Joke 1st.

A party of Tammanyites
went down
to Hathorn Spring this
morning to drink.

“How do you like
the water, Judge?” asked
big Judge Connolly.

“Horrid,” said Bernard.

“Miserable,” said Hank Smith.

“Only fit for jackasses,” growled a half dozen others.

“Have some more, gentlemen?” innocently asked the dipping
boy.

Bernard granted an injunction instantly, and the boy's “occupation
is now gone.”

Joke 2th

“You look like the monarch of all you survey,” said Fernando
Wood to John G. Saxe as he stood leaning over the railing on
the grand stand yesterday

“No, I only have a lean on the property,” said Saxe.

Joke 3th. (still worse.)

The Poet was sitting with his genial wife and a party of ladies
in the parlors at Congress Hall, one day.

“You seem to be quite a lion this morning, Mr. Saxe,” said
Mrs. Lewis.

“I think he's a bear,” said Mrs. Saxe with a smile.

“I know what's a— bruin now,' rejoined the Poet.
