HON. WELLS A. HUTCHINs

This gentleman made an argument
on last Saturday in the case of Nancy
B. Msloney VS.. John Garrett, which
was rather a remarkable performance.
He had very bitter words against per-
sons who stay at home and pick butter
nut breastpins from children. He was
severe upon Union men, but had no
word Of rebuke for those who shout for
JEFF. Davis. and haunt the secession
flag in the faces Of recruiting officers at
public meeting.
As Mr.. Hutchins is a member of
Congress elect, and as he used our name
in his copperhead harrangue, without
any justification for so doing. we feel
at liberty to review bis stump speech.
We would suggest that il he was the
loyal man that he pretended to De last
fall, before the election, be might have
gone into the service as Colo,el Of the
9Ist Regiment, and it would have been
a stronger exhibition Of loyalty than TO
be elected to Congress TO embarrass the
Government in its death struggle with
Democratic. slsyeholding treason.
Mr.. Huichins made threats that the
time might come when those who now
rejoice over arbitrary arrests. made con-
trary to the provisions OF the Consiiiu-
ton might have the same measures re-
talisted upon themselves. This mag

AN EDITORS EXPERIENCE ON ICE


We have enjoyed hearty laugh over
the experience of "brick" Pomeroy Of
the La Crosse Democrat and think our
readers will thank us for allowing them
to laugh with us:
Right beneath one Of our windows,
from morn till midnight, we see youn =
sters and oldsters twisting their legs 10
all kinds Of conceivable shapes. We
can not pick up paper, but an article
on skating meets our eyes. Every
body says it's fun, and that's all every.
body knows about it, for we have tried
it. Last night about gas time. after
reading glowing description Of life on
skates, We prepared for our first at
tempt. and sailed forth to join the mer.
nv crowd. We had on pair of stoga
boots. trousers tucked inside, Robert
tail coat and white hat We went
down to The ice, and gave boy two
shillings in shinplssters. for the use Of
his implements.
We, with the assistance OF a friend.
fixed on the skates. and stood erect as
a barber's pole We have confidence,
even as Peters faith.
Encouraged at the sight Of some la
dies on the bridge looking at the skaters,
we struck out. A slant to the right
with the right foot--a slant to the left,
and just then we saw something on the
ice, stopped over to pick it up? On
our feet again--two slants to the right
and one to the left, accompanied with
loss OF confidence. Another stride with
the left foot, and we sat down with
fearful rapidity. with very little, IL any
elegance? What a set down il was.
for we made a dent in the ice not un-
like Connecticut butter bowl Just
then one Of the ladies remarked: "Oh.
Mary look, that feller with the white
ba., amt got bis skates on right
place!" Ditto thought we. Just then
ragged little devil sung out as he
passed us, "Hellow, old timber legs"
and We rose suddenly and put after him.
Three slides to the right-two to the
left. and away went our legs-one to
the east, and the other TO the west,
causing an immense fssure in our pants,
and another picture of butter tray in
the cold-oh! how cold!-icel Then
