Heavens! The Analyst reports that more than half the cream has been "separated"—which seems to mean removed—and that its place has been supplied by "65 per cent. of impure water."

Under these circumstances, I hardly think that the fine of five shillings, and half-a-crown costs, which the Magistrate has inflicted on the Company, quite meets the justice of the case, or will be sufficient to stop such adulteration in the future.


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.
