GRErs-I arrived in Cleveland on Saturday P. NJ.
from Baldnsyile jest in tire to fix up and put
clean billed rag 20 attend Miss PeklehomoDys great
musical svrry at the Meodeon. The kroWds which
pored into the hall augurt well for the show bznis
with cheerful sperrets ined the hrong
asked MIR Ssrakhosh at the door if he parst the
perfession an be sed not much he didn't whereupon
bawt a preserved seat in the pit, & obsarying to
Mr. StrakhOsh that he needn't put on SO many
French airs becaWz he with big show, and that
he'd better let his weskut few inches or per-
haps ned bust hisself some fine day, went in and
squatted down. Il was sad thswt to think that in
ali this vsrs sujienee Scarcely Sole had the honor
of acquaintance. IS this ere" said Ihtturly, sis
Fami What signerfy my wax tigers aud Twin wild
beasts (which have no ekals) to these people? What
do they care beeaWz site of q Kangaroo is wcrth
double the price for admission, aud that my sna1s
is as haEmlis the new born babe-all Of which is
strictly troO-i" shoed have gen railen at Forth
an things sum more but jest then Signer Maucaropy
cum out and sung hairy frum sum opry or other.
He had on his store clos looked putty slick must
say. Nobody didn't undersia and nothin about what
be sed and SO they spplawded him versiferously.
Then Signer BrinnOly cum out and sung another
hairey. He appeared 70 be in Pensiv Mood 4
sung 8 Luv song, sPose tho be may hav bin cussin
the aujisnce az into q heap for aut knoWd. Then
cam Mr. Maccarony agin Miss Piclehomony her
self They sang DOit together.
Now you know, gentz, that don't like opry music
But like Miss Pioklehomonys stile, like her gate,
She suits me. Thar has been greater singers, and
thar has bin more bootiful winin, but no more fas-
inatin young woman ever longed for new gown or
side to place her head agn pattern than Maria
Picklehomony. Fasinstin peple is her best holt.
She was born 70 make hash Of mems buzzums and
other Wimin mad beeaWz they amt Picklehomonies.
Her face sparklts with amusin cussedness & about
200 two hundred little BIT of fun devils ere contin-
ually dancing champion igs in her eyes, said eyes
bein bright enuff TO lite pipe by. How ] shood
like to have little Maria out my farm in Baldins-
vile, Injana, where she Good in the tall grass
wrastle with the boys, cut up strong at parin bees
make faces behind the minister's back, tie auiion
bills TO the schooimasters coat tail, set all the fell
lers crazy after her, hollow, & kick up, 20 it.,
jest as much as she wanted TO! But l degrees.
Every time che came csnterin out l grew more de-
lighted with her. When she bowed her he'd bowed
mine. When she poWtid her lips poWtid mine.
When she larfed larfed When she jerked her he'd
back and took larfn survey of the aujence, send
broadside of sassy smiles among 'em, tried to
uDjint myself kollapse. When, in telling how
she drempt she lived in Marble halls, she sed it
tckled her than all the dream che loved
her fellow stin the same, made effort TO sWaller
myself; but when, in the next song, she looked
strate at me, called me her dear, wildly told the
man next to me that he might have my close, as l
should never want EN- sgin no more in this world.
The Plan Dealer, cOntainin this communicating,
ls not 10 be sent tie my family at Baldnsye, under
no circumstances, whatsoever.
In conclushUD, Maria l want you TO do WE'LL
know you are a nice gal at hart, and yu must git

when your young aud charmin full of music, sun
shine and fun. Don't marry a snO5, Maria. Yu
amt q angel, Maria, and am glad of it. When
see angels in petyoosts I'm slways s)rry they hant
get wings they kin quietly fly of where they will
be appreshiated. Yu woman, and a mighty
good one, too. As for Maccarony, BrignOly, Null
lenhoiler and then other fellers they take
of their selves. Old Mack kin make q comfortable
Twin chopin cord wood if his voice gives out,
and AmOdio looks as though he mite succede in con-
