NEW ADVERTISEMENTS,
A CARD.


Luhcr 7elcgrol'h-Sir: In your paper of
the Goth inst. 1 noticed IL card signed by an
irresponsible thing in human shape calling
affects to be Il martyr to injured dignity!
IIinchnlan'S anger seems to have been
chiefly aroused because had incidentally
mentioned his name in connection with the
names Of several respectable citizens of
Monroe, as having been benefited by my
ing accustomed to keeping decent company,
of course felt out Of place in good socic-
ty. But to tho fucts, which are as follows:
Soon after my arrival i'll Monroe, Mr.. Lewis
told me that he knew "poor man" who
had suffered much for several months with
'chlls and fevcr;'' that he had been sick so
long that he could not earn anything at his
trade, and, therefore, l could not expect
him to pay me; that he was '.real!y an OBJ
standing 'IIiichman'' was advised that /
would treat him FREE OF CHARGE. Iinch-
man came to see me: he told substantially
the same facts as Mr.. Lewis had previously
related to me. I1inchman took a hot vapor
bath. The day being rather damp and
chilly, and he probably never having been
washed since very early infancy, and the
hot air bath being "Inighty sarchin'," he
may have lost so much Hfth rs to take cold
clan on the way home from my Office who
called him I'D fool" l think the doctor
judged him rightly! Hinchman says the
doctor gave him prescription (which erred
decency, did he send for me, five or six days
afterwards, at 5 O'Clock in the morning .
And then why did he tell DIR. Gould and
myself on the street, one week later, that he
''was perfectly aceii-that he needed no more
treatment-felt like new man." and that
'as soon as he could make some money he
would pay me" etc, etc? l told him then,
as before, made no charge to him. If he
LIED to me about the length of time he had
been sick, why does he blame me? If he
told Il arHLftL lie when he informed me in
the presence Of DR.. Gould that he was ''per-
fectly well' I advised him to take a num-
Der of bat his in order to get weIi) why does
he blame me for his being an i,.fcIndt Ia12
The fable of the snake being warmed into
life when frozen, and then, to pay Tor the
kindness of its benet;ictor, turned and stune
him with its fangs, is apropos to the dirt y
skunk, Hinchman! lie ''ha:s no objection
to r.ltObertS performing wonderful cures -
etc, etc. Hasn't he? How very kind he is!
If l WAS led into MISREPRESENTATION in
me a wilful talSehOOd. He knew better,
and being !, stranger did not then know
he was lying! Hinchman would have
shown more honesty and true manhood by
House than by running in debt Sl2 ut the
TELEGRAPH office to try to in ure one who
h'ich to do linn good
ask no oddS-no quarters from any hu-
man: Justice is all ask; and not only
tsh, but 0cntnu0 il! do not say that iiincil-
man will Stcnf, but | would Just here gently
hint, in The most delicate manner t,osSfblC
that it will be ''hcalthy' for the chickens
and turkeys in his neigh borlf00d to rOoSt
high! IIinchman is lnc:lncr than Il nrrtla-
ought to think it Il great privilege to reside
III pur=atOry fourteen Thousand years for
ever having been permitted To speak to me-
or ''any other man!'
Most respectfully.
