_Ack Fust._--Enter a lap dorg, carrying a boarding skool miss in his
arms, about 16 hands high--it makes the dorg puff--the dorg lays down
the boarding skool miss, and orders mint juleks for 2, with the usual
suckshun. The dorg begins tew loll, the boarding skool miss tells
him "tew dri up," (in French,) and the dorg sez "he be darned if he
will," (in Dorg.) [Grate sensashun among the awjence, with cries, "put
him out!"] Finally a compromize iz affected, the boarding skool miss
kisses the dorg, with tears in his eyes. Konlusion--Lap dorg diskovers
a wicked flee at work on his tale--pursues him--round and round tha

skool girl faints standing--the curtin drops.
_Ack number 2._--Curtin highsts--sevral blind men in the distanse,
looking thru a key whole--one ov them sez, "he don't see it!"
A shanghi ruseter cums out, with epaulets on, and crows Yankee
Doodle--musik bi the band. The shanghi lays an egg on the stage, about
the size ov a wasps nest, and then limps oph, very much tired and
redused. Curtin falls agin.
_Ack number 3._--Curtin rizes sloly--big bolona sarsage on a
tabel--bolona sarsage lifts up her hed, and begins tew bark--band plays
"Old Dorg Tray." Cat cums in--cat's tail begins tew swell bad--bolona
sarsage and cat haz a fite--tha fite 14 rounds--the stage iz covered
with cats and dorgs. Konlusion--tha awl jine hands, and walk tew the
foot lights--an old Bull Tarrier reads the President's call for "300,
000 more"--band plays "Go in Lemons!"--a bell rings, and the curtin
drops.
_Ack number 4._--A scene on the Eri kanall--a terribel storm rages--the
kanall acks bad--sevral line botes go down hed fust, with awl their
boarders on board--kant make a lee shore--tha drag their ankers--sum
ov the kaptins tri tew pra, but moste ov them hav the best luck at
swareing--the water iz strewd with pots and kittles--sevral ov the cook
maids swim ashore, with their cook stoves in their teeth--tha hav tew
draw oph the kanal tew stop the storm. Konlusion--men are seen along
on the banks ov the kanall spearing ded hosses and eels--band plays "a
life on the oshun wave." Amid tremduous applauze the curtin falls, and
the awjence disperce, single file.
