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."
