The Enouirer conlcsses like tllilu oi.'
bachelor. md attempts to ward Oh .no
blow by alectation of penltcnce. ihe
most forcible plea it puts in is that IL has
been suddenly afflicted with the oi'eA'e VI
"entcrprisc," and under the tcmpoi"i
iufatuation produced by that malauy, IL
abused the telegraph by usingi to describe

But the Enquirer, to help itself still far
ther out of its straight, makes peace
with the critic. 1t lets Oh plous vein
and proceeds to apostrophze the morallst
of the Progress. The Enquirer remembers
him as Il hayward, "blue.eyed boy )"
[lIoMERlc] and lelicltates itself upon the
sage and philosophic maturity which the
blue-eyed" has attained. Of course such
flatlery is irresistible. We have already DIS
patched our adeu to CAM. Farewell, jovial
scamp! We see you only in black, with
the coat of standing collar, and those white
adornments of the neck which proclaim
the purity and innocence of your MISSION
Hereafter when we meet we must treat you
a. the CAV and festive Confederate did dear
old Father DIULvEY, Of Petersburg, ior
whom he felt great deal of Venera-
ton. While conversing with him one
day. there came in two comrades OF the
youth. They had not met for long
time. Our hero, whispering in the venera-
BILE fathers ear, said: "Will you be kind
" enough to retire to the rear part OF the
store? 1 respect you very much, ano
"thcse being old comrades of mine, we
g. want to scuss' little" We need not
say that the kind father withdrew, and
" cussing" followed! We forcsee that
something like this will happen between
CAMERON and ourselves.
And now, "boys," we would be happy
to see YOU. We have lecture on GLOW
to make newspaper POPULAR" which we
propose to read to you. Come to Rich
mond. We shall have IN entertainment III
addition to our lecture. In the bill OF fare
I, shall be q Norfolk goose, entire of Appomat'
tox crawtisll, [thcy go back on us some
tines and Richmond pigs head, with
"Chambertan and Chartrcussc." VIC
think, reader, that the lecture will KEEP
these fellows at homc-at least we hope So.
