DEV VOTED TO THE INTERESTS

am willing to leave everything to you. l
would just as soon have one name as anoth-
er. If you want to give me another, I'll use
it, or if you would like to change your name,
I'll do all in my power to help you.
"Delta," a literary poet Of Todd's Val
ley, seems to take exceptions at the name of
Sniktaw, also All am waiting for, is to
get about dozen of them chaps in range,
and then I'll whale 'em, sure.
/ see that the Hansum Kurnel" is rath-
er shy here lately has not made any advan-
ces since he sent you his Daguerreotype.-
Nothing would afford me more pleasure than
to get side-wnder at that man. He thinks
because he wrote few articles for the paper,
and managed to get an interest in the Era,
that he can have everything his own way
Some people in this world have heap of
brass actually believe that he would run
for seat in the Legislature, and think it
was all right if the people would bring him
out. In my humble opinion, EN-, you will
give that man an almighty tall fling before
you get through with him. 1t is said that
Z" Freedom shrieked when Kusiusco fall :"
but o, cracky ! wont Venus do some pretty
tall hollering when the "hansum kurnel"
comes down, tearing them chequered pants
all to smash hope you will make an ex-
ample of him. 1t is of no use for outsiders
to try to make an impression when the gen
vine article is in the field, and can't read his
title clear by long shot. l would not won
der at all if you flung me sky-high, and
worse than that" before you get through
with me. If you do, l won't get mad at
you, as I like to see you have your own fun
everything that affords you pleasure, is about
the same as going to the circus for me.
About two weeks since drew out the
following notices
"Joined in the holy ties of wedlock, by the
Rev. Mr. Dow, Jr., the gifted apd majestic Snik-
taw, to the high-steppin'" " and eloquent Emily
b."
" One year after date, born into this world of
sin and sorrow Augustus Caesar Hannibal Sniktaw
only surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. Sniktaw."
Unless things assume different shape, |
fear we will never need them. When you
wrote your poetry for me, one of the editors
at the first glance, thought it was intended
for him, but on finding it was not offered
his chance very cheap. Well, now, if l
don't hear from you in the next three weeks,
I'll sell out for $15-$4 down, and the bal
lance in one, two and three years that is
five dollars less than he would take, certain
How would such notice as this look in
print:
Whereas, Emily b. has throwed me off,
without provOcation. Know all men by
these presents that if she runs head over
heels in debt, won't pay nary cent towards
getting her all right again"
"Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave,
And charge with all thy chivalry."

happen, but if the worst comes, will bring

I'll give Col jeans half my claim down
to plead the cause, and in all probability he
will get the other half before he gets through.
He understands the law, and can twist it in
to two different shapes without hurting his
conscience. l intend to put you to some
trouble, sure and certain, unless you give me
satisfactory evidence of having good reasons
for "paling your Intellectual fires )" but this
is all surmse on my part, and hope it wont
turn out that way.
