My Dear Mr. Editor MY favosiss

mixed up now as aock of squawkins
wild geese in a fog. One squawks this
and the other that. and IT'S a general
squawking all around the ring. Its a
confounded noise that they keep up. like

US WAS another key. and then it sings
curiosity and cabbage. don't know.
but you printers that read all the papers
ought to know if the Register lives on
cabbage. Some fellow last fall told me
that it gets heap Of cabbage out Of the
New York World, and don't pay for it
neither, and don't even say ''lhank you, y
or tell us Democrats where it gets it's
best heads. You printers ought to
know, and when 1 60 up to Miflin Ill
stop and see yod, and you must tell me il
it steals it's cabbage. If it doer, Ill tell
it all around.
Besides the weather that makes things
seem little out Of place on this Saturday
night, is the humor that In in about
you. Its not the good humor that l
was in last Saturday night. I'm good
deal mad at you for sticking the name Of
Andy johnson just where you ought to
put the name Of Andy jackson in last
weeks S.nt;n~l. l was furious when l
read that l believe l was as mad as
Andy jackson was when some one said
something not very nice about one Of his
lady friends. lie swore and he cursed
and got his pistols that he had when he
licked the British. and said that he'd
shoot the man that said the bad things,
and started TO leave the house to shoot
the fellow His wife saw the trouble,
stepped in front of him and put her arms
around his neck and looking into his
brave face and said. ANDY, dear, for
my sake, don't 60; don't shoot the man.
ANDY was fond of the ladies and honor
ed his wife. and cooled down and didn't
90 and shoot the fellow but he swore
that if he'd cheep another word that he
wouldn he hindered from shooting him
by mau or woman, or the old fellow who
keeps the birthstone furnace. just to
fiud Andy Johnson's name where the
name Of the great Jackson that man
who is the idol of the dreams of good
Democrats and the model Of the wakeful
hours of all the faithful Democrata) was
such blow on me that l got all, fred

if Ms Speak hadn't done just like Mrs.
and came and looked up into
my mad face and said Barton. there's a
mistake SOMEWHERE. D,n't get so excl
ted in your old days. Wait till you
know something more about this matter"
said "I I'll wait till | know something
more about the matter" expect you
to write me letter next week and ex-
plaiu the whole matter But if it ever
happens again. won't stand it; l won't

that you know that too. You know that
what And. jackson did and said he
meant and did He'd rather lost his
right eye than to have gone back Of bis
word or done what wasn't right. He
wasn't a traitor 20 any one. and johnson
was traitor to every one, and he came
mighty near upsetting the government
while he was playing what he called the
tribune That was only false face, that
be put on to fool you fellows. We
knowed him; he didn't come it over US.
He said he was a Moses and in the next
breath. like the R'gister. he said that he
