Henry Dean Thompsoa.


Our old friend, the prince of war cor
respondents, has just had little bout
with the editor of little State Fair Jour
nal in st. Paul, Minnesota 1t appears that
the editor, whose name is Bucklin, engaged
Thompson to write given number of
columns of reports and puffs during the
week of the fair, for whick Bucklin was to
pay thirty-6ve dollars. A further agree
ment was made to pay fifteen dollars for
obtaining advertisements. Thompson al
leges that he performed his work, which
we can readily believe, for we have had oc-
casion repeatedly to employ him, and al
ways found him fully up TO the mark, and
frequently ready to do more than We had q
right to expect of him. Well, there is no ne
cessity for testifying to the industry, energy
and efficiency Of Henry Dean Thompson in
this community. The point is that Bucklin,
for reasons that appear only by inference,
broke his contract with Thompson on the
last day. when all the work except about
three columns had been furnished and &C.
cepted by the former, who excuses himself
by saying that he had been deceived by
Thompson, who represented himself as for
merly reporter for the New York Herald,
when he (Bucklin, learned by dispatch
from his "Old friend, Mr. Bennett" !" that he
bad only been a messenger! OF course Mr..
Bennett never sent such dispatch And
Henry Dean Thompson pitches into the
rural editor and shakes him and his state
ment all to tatters Mr.. Thomson has no
doubt, written more reports for the press,
and done it well too, than Mr.. Bucklin ever
read, and no one No knows him will be-
lieve it possible that he could, by any pos
sibility, fail in his duties as a reporter. He
would sooner 60 without his pay. his regu-
lar sleep or his dinner than be beaten. And
then to have his capacity doubted by the
sleepy editor Of a rural fair journal. Bah!
1t is too bad, Henry!
