The following jeu de- esprit on Messrs.
Bell and Locke, of New York who were
lately associated as proprietor and editor of
the New Era, but who have since had a
split is from the Philadelphia Ledger.
Mr.. Locke and Mr.. Bell each published
paper called the " New Era, in the city
of New York, The latter has petitoned
for an injunction to stop the operations OF
the former. Strong oppcsitlon-veryi----
Locke against Bell; oh for locksmth and
u beIlianger to hammer one and suspend
the other! Both stand in need of repairs:
both are out of order; Locke wants new
spring and Bell wants a new clapper: /. e.
Locke wants cash to carry on with, and Bell
wants noisy, rafting fellow to mlnutac-
ture editorials. Locke is broken and Bell
is cracked-consequenty there is no sccu-
rity or harmony to be expected from either,
Locke, however has good brass knob:
which in these times will go good way
towards making up for deficiency of silver.
Bell is all brass, and therefore will be apt to
do better. Both parties have our good
wishes;--may Locke find good ketch and
Bell meet with a strong rope. Both are
good meial;--it is a pity that Locke should
get rusty and Bell not be in tune.
