have no disposition to again assume the
local management Of this paper. do it
under protest. Sorry that the Seniors liver
turns him upside down. The junior belongs
to the capt>get>a>way>club, and is the sec>
retary of the inconsolable society, with
Spriggins as president and Chloride of Lime,
vice president. The society meets tonight,
and as have a complimentary, will take
notes for future reference. have digressed
but now return to state that am gratis
fed to remember that while hadn't changd
my spot, neither did our Ethiopian press
man change his skin. Right glad that some
things don't change in these nihilistic days.
But what sight. presented itself-shades of
Gutenberg, Schoefer, Faust and Franklin
The bed of the press was covered with sheep
foot, shooting stick and quoins, the blanket
rumpled and no clean sheet laid on; pi from
Pearl to Plea everywhere, and the manipu-
lators Of type, sticks, and gallies, watching 6
miniature women with school>books in their
hands. Its perfectly audacious that the
men won't quit teasing the women. They
won t leave them alone-never. If it hadn't
been for women, there would have been no
troubadours and tournaments and chivalry
and sleeps eyes: and kings wouldn't have
set the commons to fighting so often. Well,
women-that is their beauty-tthey are the
indirect cause) have forced the shedding Of
heaps Of innocent blood. But men are be-
giupjng at last to learn their lessons like
good little boys, and among them this one
that beauty is as beauty does, and that un>
adorned beauty is the prettiest, that true
beauty is the poetry Of gentle nature and
loving heart.
But here am again, dear readers OF the
Herald, all owing to that irrepressible bile
of the Seniors, which tbetween you and me)
believe is mostly if not eI ely engendered
by his over-exertions put l.fth in the cons
sumption Of Pratt & Fant's stroa gest re-
galias which sent him off to the springs
to wash away by their use if possible the
narcotic influence, and as before when the
Senior was absent the junior turns up sick +,
but, in candor, must say think his sick<
ness this time is very different in its nature,
for last time he had the shakes, bur this
time his symptoms have caused some one
else to get shook-but its an i'll wind that
blows nobody good, and this one has given
me chance to again present myself to you
gentle reader. About ten minutes since in
rushed the sick junior, docking remarkably

bunch of manuscript, said, have that all set
for second page, and you see that that prob
lem is set right. Now what problem does he
mean? we have so many: problems now>a>
days, and they DO bother US so that I wish
the senior was here, for be knows how to..set
all such things to rights; they don't bother
him much, tell you, especially If the win

keep that list of delinquent subs. shorter.
O, I have il, he means that chess problem; /;
everything is chess. now, and all the boys
and girls 90 in to mate, but the most inter-
esting game is that which is now being
played between Mr. SIowandsure and Young
Velocipede. The game is still progressing,
and creates considerable excitement among
the friends of both parties, who feel deeply
interested in the result. The friends of
Yong Ve!ocipede are confident of his suc>

and threatens to give mate, but the friends
of Slowandsurc are equally sanguine Of
success, claiming that its only when close
pushed that he displays that keen apprecia-
ton of the game which has heretofore
brought him out victorious 10 previous tour
naments. and that he will probably resort to
his previous tactics and compel his advcr-
sary to give stale mate.
So much interest is felt in the result ofthis
game that should it terminate before our
next issue, an extra will announce the im>
portant fact.
Glad to hear that the Senior has arrived 1t
Glenn's, where he hopes to get plenty
of spring-chicaen. Hope he will, and then
return with good liver-not the chickens
but his own-well rid of that overpowering
bile. His return is anxiously looked for by
Junior, who desires to make another of those
flying trips to Charleston, to see about that
celebrated life boat and attachments by
which he anticipates shortly to sail INTO the
harbor of prosperity. He's all the time now
talking about standing the storm," SC.
Through the widely :circula ted medium
of the Heraid's columns and the assistance
and assiduity Of Assistant Marshal Peterson,
found my dog Penny, at the city of Silver
Street, and he now gladdens my young
heart with the wag Of his double kink,
whenever I make my appearance. This is
another evidence of the advantage of adj
vertising-he was lost and be is found.
In behalf Of myself offer the kind and
indu!sent readers of the Herald, any amount
of apology for my crudeness. lam very
young devil, as / before stated, and may
have fallen into some of the errors common
to novitiates. and beg to inform my nu-
merous friends that when shall have suf-

higher atmosphere in which found myself,
and have inhaled enough Of this our lower
atmosphere, L shall make hash for theHeraid
