Last Message of The Old Owl.
"Who-Who oo! i L is alas, no night-
mare! But a plain reality, cried I, when 1
returned from a Hit over the city and found
my nest filled with all kinds of birds. I
screamed in my horror, but my friends, the
knockers, assured me these birds were all
harmless. That one was a Black-bird, one
a King-Fisher and one a little Dinkier of a
hird, and two stool pigeons—all harmless!"
But. ah, 1 ne'er agreed with them. I flew
at the next, and fought until I was worn
out I made the feathers fly, but they only
sat and smiled, while I worked myself into
a frenzy, but I would not go back to my
accustomed roost and sought shelter in a
nearby rookery and awaited results. But
when the secret sessions of the Court of"
Fame were held 1 drew near to hear what
mv friends were doing and all things seem-
ed planned for a perfect preservation of the
rookeries, the Congress of Curbstone Knock-
ers, and our beloved Court of Fame, and
preparations were made for a great jubilee
on Tuesday night. Then 1 tried to rest me,
on my strange roost, until after the horrid
election. 1 awoke Tuesday evening from
my troubled sleep and betook myself to the
anticipated jubilee, and here is what I saw:
All my friends the knockers in the last
death throes. Some were missing. 1 inquir-
ed, "where, oh. where is the Big Chief?"
"Seeking surcease of sorrow, under the
lees of the county capital" was the answei.
"Where, oh, where if? our Sulvotign Army
friend?" A faint whisper replied, "On his
way to Bohemia." /here, oh, \ uere are
the 'tired farmer*?/ '.'Back tu the t.,iid
hills and jacks" came the response.
"Where are the candidates who were on the
Knocker ticket?" "They have hitched their
wagon to the Star of Progress, and are on
their way to the Progressive heavens?"
And these, my friends, the knockers, who
are writhing here in their last agonizing
death throes, what is to become of them?
A dying hand was raised to me, a faint
voice fell upon mine ear: "If thou deemest
thyself a wise old owl, thou shouldest turn
thy back upon this scene and fly for parts
unknown to Progress, for have we not tried
every medicine within our power to still its
hateful work, and all to no avail? We
hatched the falsehoods, graft, thief, boot-
leggers and caved-in-city well and every
other horror which a false-tongued man
could tell. But the people caught us in the
trap and knew wrong we had been, and
sought to rectify our errors and save the
people's tin. The city well investigated
uneJ found i( perfect work. No quicksand
there, no evil ever there did lurk. The wa-
ter clear as crystal the pipes the very best.
We lied, they proved it and put us to the
test. We raved, and caved, and gnawed
upon the bit. We filled the air with blas-
phemy; we had an awful fit. The people
smiled and passed us by and let us rip and
roar. We hurt ourselves, they do not care.
We alone are sore." So saying the head
and tongue were palsied, and I seeing the
startling condition of things, without even
a glance back at my old nest which was now
occupied by "all kinds of birds" that looked
like the great American Eagle King of
all Birds, to me, I started away from the
city FOREVER, and as I was leaving I saw
the very heavens lighted up, and a great
fire upon the square, and found it was a
funeral pvre upon which the knockers in ef-
figy was being burned. And hundreds of
people, all wearing a broad smile, and the
badge of Progress were promenading the
streets, and cheering to the echo the good
work of the old city council, and "The
Hennessey Booster." And by the light of
this fire I glanced back at my friends the
knockers and saw for the first time the yel-
low streak down their backs, and I bound-
ed frantically into the f ir, with this shrink
"Wka-who-who-oo, adieu, adieu, adieu.
