\ Living Wonder.
Having had an introduction through
the columns Of the ".Jaspcr Courier" TO
n living curiosity IN the shape Of n two
legged beast. and known 10 us for tho
first time as Colonel Edmonson's Bull
I'urp which appears to have, or wants to
assume conspicuous position before the
people to compromise his heretofore
antagonistic conduct to the will Of the
majority Of the voters Of Dubois county
by his frequent publications. in the "Sig-
Ilnl and Courier which he signs &c
lie BE Ia, and &. I. u. Carr; but ] think
il should he "CURR," as he certainly be-
longs to that species. which may be- seen
by his hap-llazard snaps at conclusions
tia; the people might believe him to be
an anti-aider and accept the same rs true.
But they will not believe il for they are
mere fabricatiOns OF his elusive brain, as
j. cOmclu-ivc,y shown 10 "a candid and
rejecting mind by his absurd assertions
in public print such MS his trip up Salt
River in canoe, and his thought that the
courthouse would be removed by some
aud that We had no artist in Hunting
burgh to take our port.y photographs,
and that we could never get the iailroad
nor the courf-hOusc.
But he thought il We did get the last
named institution lie knew one THING
we CO;'Ip get. namely &. L. Is. Carr us
one Of -. But that is just what We
don't want, for VIC have IIull Pups aud
Cur Dogs enough. lie blamcs the Of
iiccrs for not locating the Railroad: ard
SAYS il il had only been located by the
way Of lIuntingburgh that he would
have worked for III appropriation. II
hc had. il would II have been much. as
may be seen by the result OF his Jealous
efforts in the last election. AS Carr has
complained that already too much time
and money had been spent. thereby in
tlicating that he was left in poverty: il
80 > come Pup. rs always have plenty
of chickens. yo,I may have the bones 10
pick. And ia remember You to the "by
way" railroad clique we will take some
photographs Of YOU TINT you may be- en-
ablcd to bark after YOU have died like
River crew! We have an artist here by
the name Of Captain Fisher who once
took a photograph Of a dog so natural
that the picture had hydrophobia during
hot weather. Yes. he is quite a genius
indeed. and has been instrlcting Dufcn-
dach Of late. l;nt don't YOU the think
friend Doanc that il might be- very elan
gcrOu- 10 take such Il perfect picture. rs
he might bite YOU or l. for rurps. rs u
general thing. don't forget their ups
and downs soon; and wouldn't it be
hard on The old Colonel If he had the
photograph Of "hs Bull Purp" OH the
wall and while liauding the bottle round
in company the picture should become
intoxicated and order them 10 leave the
premises under the plea Of presumption
right. What say you ol.Ednlonson =
ii you desire tho picture taken don't
scare your purp for he's very hard to
catch. never have heard of him being
captured only in three particular ways.
and his friends If he has any (and
doubt il his old master is his tricnd)
would like 10 know how it was accom-
plislcd.
Well. ! will tell YOU, the first was
when lac was wet upon; the second,
when King alcohol over took him; and
third, when Arnold II. Miller Esq. tx
Justice Of the Peace of IIuntingburgh
read his manuscript TO him, for Carr
says that Miller is IA fleet as creased
lightning aud can oycrtake him easily.
But then you all know that Carr adj
nircs Miller very much. and that tho
genius nc attributes to NJ. Is like bis
friendship for NJ only put on for Carr
is entirely devoid Of that feeling. If he
possessed any, he ought TO have sense
enough 10 know that charity begins at
home; therefore WE eat the chicken
meat and give the bones to the Purps. =
And when you read this TO any one. Mr..
Carr, don't forget to tell them this was
conceived by the strong, or weak, mind
Of the photograph Of the DEAD, DEAD
Arnold II. Miller EsI., Ex-.Justicc Of
the Peace Of neutrality-suspicious. WRIT
THAT.
Yours with profound respect for your
species. by tire Photograph Of
a. il. MILLER, ESQ.
S. Friend Doanc, please don't send
- copy Of this to his father-in law, rs It
might cut their friendship; and ii this
will not suffice, Miller will have to be
cxhumcd to complete this job.
