cellence as a ratter Your remark that
CLANS will lie quiet if music be played to
them, was superfuous-entirely super
fluous. Nothing disturbs CLAIMS. CLAIMS
alacays lie quiet. CLANS care nothing
whatever about music All, Heavens and
earth, friend, if you had made the acquir-
ing of ignorance the study of your life,
you could not have graduated with higher
honor than you could to day. 1 never
saw anything like it. Your observation
that the horse-chestnut, as an article OF
commerce, is steadily gaining in favor, is
simply calculated 10 destroy this journal.
| want you to throw up your situation and
go. I want no more holiday could not
enjoy it if had it. Certainly not with
you in my chair. / would always stand
in dread of what you might be going to

to take another holiday. Oh, why dldn I
you tell me you didn't know anything

Tell you, you cOrnstalk, you cabbage,
you son of caulif1oweri It's the hrst
time [ ever heard such an unfeeling re-
mark. | tell you have been in the ed
itorial business going on fourteen years,
and it's the first time l ever heard OF
, mans having to know anything IN order
to edit newspaper. You turmp! VINO

NOTED shoemakers and apprentice

Who do up the heavy leaders on finance ?
Parties who nave had the largest Oppor-

Who criticise the Indian campaigns?
Gentlemen who do not know a arwhOOp

to run fcot-race with tomahawk, or
pluck arrows out of the several members
of their families to build the evening camp
fire with Who write the temperance ap-

Folks VINO will never draw sober breath

higher the salary he commands. Heaven
knows if had been ignorant instead OF
cultivated, and impudent instead OF din
fident, l could have made name for my
self in this cold selfish world. / take MY
/ leave, sir. Since l have been treated as
you have treated me, l am perfectly willing

fulfilled my contract as far as | was per
mitted To do it. | said | could make your
paper of interest to all classes, and have
| | said could run your circulation up tC
twenty thousand copies, and if had two
more weeks I'd have done it. And IC
/ have given you the best class of readers
that ever an agricultural paper had-not {
farmer in it, nor solitary individual wht

to save his life. You are the loser by thi
rupture. not me, Pie-plant. Adios."
