Mr.. EDlruR:
Havin got anuthor note,
we set out erli in the mornin for the
city. We met the mayor and kernal on
our wa, with koch and 8 hosses. Ich
TUX his sete inside, while Towscr and l
sat in front with the drivers that the
pepel mite see us, and mite no that we
wer kummin., We found nifty power
Of pepel got together to reseve ms, and
the Aldermin elekt formed a line on
won side Of the strete, and the XAlder-
min formed line on tother. As we
drove up, they awl cummensd chearin,
and sich chearin I never herd befour.
Tha TUX oph the hosses and dru the
koch themselves thru the sitty, doun to
the sitty hotel and bak agin tu the Plas-
ser hotel. The col. made a welkum
speach, tu which Ich responded most
eloqucntli amidst thunderin applause.
We then allied and went intu the par
lur tu reseve kompani. Many were
anxus tn get aquantid with Ich, an I as
tha had a chansc now, tha picht in, and
so did, also, many distinguished strang-
irs. Many uthers wantid hand in, so
tha kombd up tbare hare stratc in front
and put on, gres and kun in tu, but
thare awkardnis betrade them, and tha
wer not notised, for our bisnes was with
men Of talons and abilliti. After we
had got thru, we went in and wer intro
dusd tu the ladis, 8 tina took a nifty lik-
in to Ich rite oph, much to the shagreen
of the struttin sitty big-heds. We then
went upon the hurricane rufe tu vu and
tu Sc the sitty. Ich had ladi on cch
arm and so did I and sum ladis tide a
silk shaul abowt Towser's neck and thus
led him along, while an XAldcrman
follered behind tu hold up his tale.
Bfore this, Ich had partli made up
with the XBoard, and they wcr mitily
plesed, and tha pulled kares out of Tow
ser's tale, to kepe as momentose. We
prominadid thare sum time, and sum of
the sitty gentri shot envius looks at us,
but tha coodent shine. Won oph them
had the impudens tu ask Ich how it was
that he was SO poplar, while .uthcr men
wcr as big as he was' Ich ansered
him in the wurds of a crate man, " that
tall men nede. not skruplc tu stand up
on a levil with small men, we'll knoin
that tha wood owttop them awl; but it
was onli tu the interest of smaul men
tn LUX wei tu themselves and tn not ap-
pear in kompani with uthcrs who are a.
bove thenl." This remark of Ich ok
kasioncd much surprise, and some of
them stuk out thare les like peeled un-
yuns. Tha lookt at each uther and
then at Ich; and then at ech uther a.
gin, and at last sum TUX the hint and
sloped, while the uthers kept thare rite
plase and sed nuthin. How provokin
it is, that sum pepel vii tri to git intu
notis bi hangin onto the kote-tale Of
utkers: when in kompani with big
man, tha fele nifty stiff rite oph, and
when bi themselves tha act and look lik
shcpe-theves. We hav ben trublid a
crate dele bi this klas of men, and Ich
has thot it propir tu rebuk them in the
owt-set, and SO we git. rid of them
Men shud tri tu lene upon themselves
and tri tu be suthin, and not tu trust tn
uthers: that's the way Ich and 1 hav
got sich selebriti as we hav,-wc ar
knone awl ovr the wurld as the 2 graf

Prase is the konsiqunse of merritt, and
It kums from the pepel tu; and shud we
share it with, the unworthi, it wud be
