[Commissioner of Pensions Dudley has established a Sunday-school and / declares he will remove any clerk in his department who does not / regularly attend. -- "N.Y. World.]"
Dudley, great placeman, man of mark and note, / Worthy of honor from a feeble pen / Blunted in service of all true, good men, / You serve the Lord -- in courses, "table d'hote: / Au, naturel," as well as "a la Nick" -- / "Eat and be thankful, though it make you sick."
