ever saw, headed too by Rev. Bishop Srxr
SON, the embodiment of eloquence, mad,
a visit to our natural pictures, and had {
most gratifying time. We had the pleas

and social reminder of by-gone days.A
Years ago, the Bishop, then President O
New Castle College, (Indiana) was tn.
"brother'-g Of our deceased father-in
law, Paul EGBERT. He dedicated the
TERRE CoupEk Methodist Church Of North
Indiana. We thought that no more able
orator ever spoke. Many of our people
attended service on Sunday last at Prairie
du Chen and we hear nothing but the
highest commentator of his eloquence
his logic and the impressiveness of his il
Illustrations. !. We very much regret that Il
was not Jour fortune to be present. The

Wehave often heard it said by edito-
rialists that reference to the person of
the editor is out of order,-articles should
always refer to the name of the paper
We do not think, so. This business Of
is new. to US and we doubtless
violate many rules which were stereotyped
years ago by our graud-daddies in Typo
DOM. Other young people say, when re-,
proved for bad conduct, II don't care,''
"A bad expression we admit, but there
has to be SO much bad in, the world to-
make good contrast with Sunday schools
and Other virtues, that we are willing, to
lake sort of background in the picture
IF editorial ethics SO that the picture which
custom has drawn, will be more resplend-i
snt. BE il enacted then, by A.. & R. of
his Office, that we, write the names of
editors if we like, and if we don't like,
we don't. si1 10 oTiu91 2dt 4 .GEa H9
HAIsl EFT was down here a day OF two
since, and as usual, we had as much social
las two or three quili-driying
,hums could enjoy. Georges politics are
not to our taste by several degrees, bat he

'heory !; the practice we say nothing about;
i might involve an investigation at home,
and that, you know, is carefully attended
to by nearer neighbors. Reports of our

only bring burlequ to those whose perfec-
lions entitle, them to throw stones out Of
their glass houses But no matter--our
inability to cope with gentlemen ~ whose
only, battery is one that discharges mud
balls, and whose only Argument is Mis-
compels us to give them as
wide Q berth as the true gentleman always
gives pretender, or as an experienced
human being does to that handsome odo-
riferous animal which frequents hedges
and patches fprairie hazel-brush. Uncle
Toby was right when he said to the fly,
4" Go, poor devil, there is room enough in
the world for thee and me r. We have
made this application often before to those
who make a newspaper the medium of
scandal-retail to give it the attraction which
must attach to, violations of propriety.-

Thresher-seller of McGregor, and it is re-

traction Of the epidermis, arrangement of

complaints which our ignorance of Hoopers

that book and won't give it up-oblige us
