Buffalo Bill and Leo Pope.

Went Buffalo Bill to see the Pope pass by.

Then were the Cow-boys cowed by the Pope's eye,

With which, like many an English-speaking glutton,

They'd often met, and fastened on, in mutton.

The difference vast at once they did espy,

Betwixt a sheep's eye and a Leo's eye.

Says Shiney William to himself, "I'm blest!"

And so he was, and so were all the rest.


From a Nautical Inquirer.—"Please, Sir, what's the uniform of an Admiral of the 'Bouillon Fleet'? I see this Fleet advertised, but have been unable to obtain any information about it at the Admiralty, where I have called repeatedly to make inquiries."

[Consult "The First Lord!" The first lord you meet will do.—Ed.]
