Of a slot (only not so smootb), jumps
into your eye, and you are forced to rub
it out with your fist, would you call that

for your next railroad trip, and I'll bet
my old hat you'll get your satisfaction
one time. III bet my bob.tailed ''purp''
that my eyes can collect more cinders,
bigger ones, rougher ones, and that they
can stick longer and closer, gouge deeper

count Of the aforesaid cinders, / "go one

At Winchester, the water is about the
best ever quaffed-cool and pure. The
health Of the community is splendid
people scarcely ever dying, only of old
age-the doctors nearly starviug-but
Col. Matt. Martin tells me the lawyers
drive a good business. The hotel ar
rangements are not conducted on the
European plan, or any other plan that
feeds hungry man about my size. The
bed wasn't quite "saft /" enongh, and the
table was not very euticing. II you ex-

Upon my arrival at Winchester, I had
q pleasant time with Mr.. M. J. Slater, Of
the Home Journal, formerly ofthat place,
which has lately suspended, occasioned
By the withdrawal Of the State printing.
The Radicals Of Winchester were exceed.
ingly anxious to buy Mr.. Slater, and
convert it into Radical sheet, but no, he
had too much !" 8 and in his gizzard = to be
soldin any such. way, and preferred sus-
pension; or, in other words, he preferred
pecuniary emba rrassment to moral degra-
iation. a.
