WEATHER PROPHECIES FOR MAY.
About the first of the month look out for squalls and damp weather. The
sun's rays may be warm, but the beefsteak will be cold. There will be
more or less cloudy days throughout the month--especially more. If the
mornings are not foggy, they will be clear--that is, if the almanacs are
not steeped to the covers in deceit. If we prophesy pleasant weather,
and it should prove stormy and disagreeable, you can have redress by
calling at the office of PUNCHINELLO.

GREELEY ON BAILEY.
The _Tribune_ extenuates the defalcations of Collector BAILEY, on the
ground that "he fought the crowd" (other revenue defaulters) "zealously,
effectively, persistently," etc. Suppose that Mr. GREELEY, while
pursuing his wild career in the dire places of the city, should fall
in with a gang of pickpockets, and get hustled. Suppose that a strong
fellow came along and drove away the thieves. Suppose that the strong
fellow then "went through" Mr. GREELEY, and eased him of his purse,
watch, and magnificent diamond jewelry.
