Common green cocoanut and not only eat the meat, but drink the milk. It is so I'll swear to it." A quick glance from Bascom a glance that I understood then: "Why, bless my soul, I never heard of such a thing. Man, it is impossible." "I knew you would say it. I'll fetch the cat." He went in the house. Bascom said: "There what did I tell you? Now, that is the way to handle Eckert.
I had, as you know, proposed "Rienzi" as gala opera for February 16th; but a light opera was preferred, and, as such, your tribune of the people would scarcely pass. You are probably in direct correspondence with Eckert concerning the performance of "Lohengrin" at Vienna. He informed me that the work would be given this autumn.
There are still many smoking chimneys and indifferent beer breweries. Privy Councillor Von Eckert can, therefore, still execute many glorious deeds before he is gathered to his forefathers," exclaimed Von Pollnitz. All were amused at this, and the king himself could not refrain from smiling.
Lincoln heard out this spiteful diatribe with his habitual patience, when, calmly looking at the chairman, he responded: "Gentlemen, since you are so familiar with the general's habits, would you oblige me with the name of General Grant's favorite brand of whisky. I want so to send some barrels of it to my other generals!" The deputation withdrew in poor order. Major Eckert says that Mr.
"Silence, Pollnitz!" exclaimed the king, laughing. "No more of this raillery. Listen to what I have to say.

A peal of laughter from the entire club rewarded Von Pollnitz for his proposition.

Condy's desertion of them was often spoken of by the men of his club with whom he had been at one time so intimate, and the subject happened to be brought up again one noon when Jack Carter was in the club as George Hands' guest. Hands, Carter, and Eckert were at one of the windows over their after-dinner cigars and liqueurs.
You know, my dear Eckert, that the privy councillor is dead, and only the chimney-builder lives; and even the adroit chimney-builder is banished from Berlin, and must remain twenty miles away from his splendid home.
