Prof. Geo. H. DeBar, Of New York,

Most Of our readers will remember an
advertisement, headed "Whiskerando,'
which we published for several weeks,
some three or four months since. We
were ordered by the above professor
TO publish il for one month, and send him
our bill, stating at the same time that he
"nevcr made any advance payments. -
We did as directed, and sent him our
bill, and received the following answer
"Your favor Is duly at hand. Will
yon please continue our advertisement In
your paper for sufficient longer period
10 make three months in all. Send me a
bill and will remit you the amount
Seeing that he was endeavoring to
"rope US IN" we wrote 10 our agents,
S, M. Pel,ingill & Co., [who, by the
way, are clever and reliable men Of high
standing, and inquired about our earn
ed professor, and received the following
conclusive reply;
"Gross humbug--no such man to be
found"
So after having been thus ruthlessly
Declared out OF our jus, rights, we take
the Whiskerando Professors cognomen
as the beginning OF black list, which
in future we will regularly publish, and
AXE such additions as shall be deemed
necessary and appropriate, And we fear
III at the next names we shall find it ne.
cessary TO add will be one or two not
quite so far from home.
