For the Comet.

Mr.. Editor Your dear little
Comet is before me. How in your
world of vexations and hurry do you
manage to hay before us every morn
ing three columns Of Originals besides
little choice ''scissoring" When
do you write them Is it when the
reader is within the tender mercies Of
Morpheus am afraid, my dear
Comet, they do not appreciate IA they
should, the care and labor bestowed
upon you. They rise in the morning
after n good nights rest and find you
at their door, and during The prepare
ton Of breakfast, while away the hall
hour over your sparkling contents"
have often thought IN editors life
and especially the life of the manager
Of a daily, was u bard one-yet the
wide-awake, quill-dri,ing Fanny Fern
says not, she says "she has been be.
hind the curtain" and she ought to
know.
One advantage, my dear little Comet
YOU possess and that is in being III
tie. That too is why, that which you
give us is Of the right kind. Who
ever heard of any one mapping" over
youl If any one ever did console
yourself, that his intellect is weak.
These great big bel-blanket concerns
that consume n whole week of valuable
time in their maxine up'-pride
themselves more upon their quantity
than quality."--wl,y, they should not
be allowed TO be conveyed in the sam'
mailbag with the Co,pet and Bailou
Why, Mr. Editor, I loose all pat
fence in thinking Of the pretentions 0
these "forty by sixty parcel wrapper
and take one Of them up, latter my

having a snap
am yours, Mr.. Editor, every morn

ish (Assumption), a member ofan old
and much respected family there, was
seized in bis own house by crowd Of
exasperated citizens, and led in front
Of Col. Pugh's warehouse, where he
was instantly stripped, tarred and

Ey-The old Moslem ianaticiam !

EH-The old Moslem fanaticiam Is
said to be awakened in Turkey and
all the Mabometan countries Of the
East on account of the aggresions Of
Russia, and u bloody and :erocious
religious war seems imminent. The
military preparations Of Turkey have
far exceeded expectations, and the
warlike feeling grows in intensity az
offers of assistance in men, arms and
money come in from remote corners
Of the Empire. A recent letter from
Constantinople says:
At Ceasaria, where 10000 students
for tic Office Of the priesthood are
assembled, war is preached from every
mosque, and the students parade the
streets with banners, crying WAR
with the Russians and death to the
Giaour!' and the different consnls il,
the interior speak of the same zeal and
enthusiasm for the cause OF Islam.-

word said, or nm act committed, either
by night or day, within the borders of
this mile square city, Of which we are
not correctly informed. We say this
in order that parties may be careful
when they abuse us, aud do it accord
