f I do dearly love these Manchester doc
tors. They carry the cir Of such yast Wis.
dom and use words Of such sesquipedafianl
length that adore them. Their mastery
skill in the management Of spirited horses
and slight diseases, by which they can
make either ago long," Is . theme Of my
admiring praise. Their perseverance, In
prescribing quinine and cslomel in eli cases
suggests the extent Of their reading and
vindicateS their merits. Stsf tiB y 25Yl
These sons Of Esculapius are eminently
worthy Of princely support. How ere
they to secure itf They are quite nu.
msrous, and their friends, very properly,
are solicitous for their welfare. i see only
one way In which their prosperity will be
insured: The people must, a. fast - posai-
BILE, use every precaution TO contract lin
gering diseases. This they cannot DO %
successfully in any other way g they caff
by daily crossing the bridge. ITO render u
certain that they will discharge their duty
in this respect, let, them be compelled 70
purchase their beef and bread In Rich
mond. By this means they can manage to
be sick most Of their time. In the summer
they can get up typhoid fever; In autumn,
they can always pick up fine brace OF
chills and fever; and in winter, pneumonia
and consumption can be generally secured
by going every day across the bridge.
Thus work amply sufficient to exercise the
skill and supply the ever-recurring wants
of our doctors win be afforded.
If, however, the insane project Of esta-
blishing market be not thwsrted, the
amount Of sickness will be 50 seriously
diminished as to blast the prospects Of
these physicing gentlemen. The conse-
auence will be either to reduce them TO
poverty or to bereave US Of their valuable
services by necessitating their removal.
Who can contemplate such result with
out shedding tears of anguishi A market
in Manchester may feed the people, but 1t
will starve the knights of the drug. =.
The madness of our new Board In setting
this enterprise on foot is the more astound-
ing when we mention the fact that its pre-.
siding officer is also member OF tho
Calomel Brotherhood. Such suicidal folly
would amaze me if it did not illustrate the
truth of the ancient proverb, "Whom the
Gods would destroy they first make mad"
8. A market in Manchester would be
further Objectionable for the harm that it
will entail upon our shoemakers.
Beyond a question, we have here the
noblest assemblage Of cobblers that ever
waxed an end or drove, speg. A poets pen
might we'll decline to portray their count
less excellencies. Their establishments
are grand as royalty-their signs glow with
the brightness of the purest gold-their
benches are cream-like marble-their
threads are spun Of oriental fax--and
their bristles are plucked from the neck Of
Swine that never bathed except In crystal
fountains. But let me forbear further
description and state simple fact. These
cobblers= support themselves almost solely
by mending shoes. 1905 aa. a.y'f.t,. Fl -
It is evident that their professional suc-
cess depends upon the amount Of recon-
struction which our feet-gear from time to
time demands. This demand Is regulated
by the extent Of our walking. InveshgA-
ton has shown clearly that q trip over the
bridge and tbrough the burnt district will
do more to make o shoe need repairing
than weeks wear in town. 1t 10 the
best possible expedient for knocking of
heels, ripping soles, and splitting nppers.
| By this means our cobblers have shefsto-
| fore managed to patch up very respectA-
BILE livelihood. Indeed, many Of them are
rolling in luxury and sparkling with splen-
DOR. 'I'"

p. S.-Last summer our reporter made
me utterly miserable BY announcing Chat
he never would notice mo any more. "A
few mornings ago, however, he emerged
abruptly from his hiding place, and, CLAN

my letters were Gulliver's stories. For the

should call my letters Gulliyer's stories
