What," exclaimed this vencrablo baooon Man desctfudtid irom us! I ropudiato tho idea with scorn. Truo wo have our faults.

The chairman Interrupted the speaker to remind him that no puns would be allowed. Nobody but mon perpetrated puns, and a pun was altogether beneath the diguity ot any luonkoj who had the least respect for himselt. The speaker promised to bo more guarded in tho future, and proceeded with his remarks. "Look at tho lollies men perpetrate every day. lid you

know monkey to make such a tool of hiuiscif as they do? I Hit you ever know a monkey to bay a ticket to a menagerie and go staring around and making remarks about better people than himself? Did a nionkoy over got druhk, or talk about his neighbors, or weur a plug hat ^unless it was fastened Mil ids head by a detestable rlng-nias tor.) or sue for a divorce, or lace, orcolor his whiskers, or go into bankrutpev. or cheat the printer, or get elected r'ouncilnian, or run up a bar account, or eat hash, or—or run for Couitress?

Never 1" {Screams and screeches of assent.] "Man descended from the nionkoy, indeed if we wero deseeded IVoni nffcn it would be sufifteenth' disgraceful. I got axhamed when 1 think there is a poMtihilltv of a connecting link. Look at them in their »olUic:U conventions. In our most idiotic moments did we ever veil and howl as they do "Look at them In Congress. A wholo menagerie on a drunk couldn't behave wove.

Tremendous applause followed his *pecch. After some further remarks on the part ol distinguished monkeys «f like tenor, the meeting passed a series of resolutions utterly repudiating tho Darwinian theory, and Hiljournou.
