BE THANKFUL FOR SMALL MERCIES.
The Blue Ribbon Army out here can thank tbeir stars thiit our larrikins, bad as they are, are saints compared to some of the young bucks of Ramsgate. There the church militant teetotallers were assailed with vollies of wet mortar, and " one young' woman had an eye literally burned away with the lime, and the sight of three other members of the Army was also terribly injured." Tt is an open question whether with such risks as these, one would not prefer to accept the chances of a headache from John Barleycorn.
