paragraphs which were 70 frequent in thi
Aurora in 1903, and which were 70 much
talked OF, were not the production of Callen-
der-they were generally dropt in 4 letter box,
in Mr.. Bacbe's Office, who was accuitomed
70 call that box his paragraph mill, from the
frequency and number of iuch articles depot

his anecdote, proves how little Callender
is acquainted with Mr.. JetFerion's mode OF
eXPrefiion, or itiie Of Converiaton. Had Cal

OF poilihed manners, or had not the degraded
tate into which he has reduced hirntelf de-
itroyed his former determination, he would
have teen that Jueb forn7 of eXprciiion was
not MIR. jcHerion's, and that he could not
nave ufed the pirate tqOirimg az, if he had
even conceived the ludicrous idea CalIender

But the accuracy of the fact is fr1f to be ict-
lied, and this depends wlrolly-upon Calender
upon whom, it is plain, no dependence can b.
placel.
With regard to the prcfent of money made
by Mr.. Jefterion to Calender, il is not inns
probable that ne did below, and unalled by
calender, SO or 100 dollars; but for what
purPoie did Caliender fend the lbeciaieK meets
