TnE Times yesterlay morning, in- the course

TnE Times yesterday morning, in the course
of,its usual diurnal TRADE on the "littie giant"
says that .his organ is a queer institution, and
that it's the Tines inimitu6ze Prentician
style does not suit it."
So far as regards your style being 'inimita.
BILE" dear brother Tines, we say so too. 1t as
inimitable, either by man, o, bird, or beast; by
either creeping or walking things, or by things
visible or invisible, animate or inanimate. No
body ever did, would, could, or should initiate
it
About your style being "Prentician" we are
notso clear. Yonrsaying that it is, however re-
minds US Of what Burke said to a conceity fellow,
named Parr, who was Boosting in Burkes pres
ence that his (Parr's) style resembled that of
Johnson's. 'sYes" said Burke, "ithas all its con-
tortions, without any of its inspiration, and all
its nodosity without the least of its strength"
We guess, dear brother that that's about the
way your style resembles Prentices If, how
ever, We are mistaken, won't you please tell US
wherein this sentence, in your leader of yester-
day, resembles ''the ininitable Prentician."
If the Senator has made his last movement,
after mature reflection, and honest conviction,
that it will open to him clearer road to political
u
appointment; it is his right, as thorough dem
agogue; and if successful, will commend
him for it, us we would any man who would
kick his father, if another should offer him suf-
fcient guarantee of profit.
Very much "Prentician" that, very.
THE Times says that it behooves Caldwell. to
resign now while he has chance to-while in
its own words "the opportunity Is left him
which of course means something very signii-
can't, or else nothing at all.
1t reminds us of what we have read
somewhere, about one of tho speakers of the
House of Commons. During hot contest on
the floor, one Of the members became very un-.
ruly. The speaker again and again, in vain,
called him to order. At last he threatened to
"name" him if he didn't behave. A fresh coun-
try member, who had just been sworn in, was
thrilled with awe, and timorously creeping up
to the side of the Speakers chair, asked its
awful incumbent, what would be the conse-
quences if he did name the member The
Speaker, after looking very wise and very grave
for a moment, said, "the Lord only knows, my
dear SIR
MICHIGAN paper notices a singular case of
fasting at Eaton Rapids, by little girl some six
years of age. It is affirmed that she has not
been known to eat anything since the 2Tth ult.
The family assert that the little girl took it into
her head that if she ate she would be sick, and
since the period named, has persistently refused
everything in the shape of solid food She does
not fall away in flesh, is lively and full of play,
but cannot be induced to take food any kind,
not even ripe fruit. We give this story upon
the authority of our Michigan contemporary, but
must add our belief that yarn spinning is not
extinct in that State.
TINS Utica On. " Herald relates, that since
the adjournment of the recent American Con-
Iyention held in that city, and in consequence Of
Erastus Brooks & Co.'S harping,, upon the term,
in disparnging way, an ''irrepressiblo cons
f,ct' club has been organized there, and will
probably be on hands at the Wheeling conven-
ton next May
We advise our hundred eyed neighbor next
door, to leave early in the spring for the Red
Wamus districts We say this, because, per-
sonalIy, We like him, and don't want to see him
hurt
WA at a loss to conceive how man can
continue to fill a position, which he, by the
most unequi0Ocal actions, has declared, that he
cannot fill honestly, or to the advantage of those
who employ him; that he must work for anoth-
