EDITOR CHRONICLE Your last num-
Der contains a letter from this locality
written by aus Girls" ia which the fair
correspondents claim to have found that
little machine . which is supposed to
have been used in manufacturing news.
We rejoice that it has fallen into such
capable hands, who after duly oiling
and coaxing 1t, are able to give rs such
startling facts as they have furnished for
your columns.
We are inclined to think, however,
that instead offs machine, it is the genu-
inc Delphie Oracle from Parnasus, so
long lost TO the world. 1t seems to have
been rejuvenated, and a priestess, taken
upon herself the insignia o: that Office,
and is talking to ''Us Girls" her admir-
ing and willing auditors, who have sent
the result to you for publication.
To think that a 'lone lorn bachelor"
has thirty-four from whom to select a
partner to soothe the cares of life, is 10 q
quiet man an interesting topic for con-
sideration.
Our first impulse was to purchase a
"bran new beaver of the Andez mould"
in fact to don our best, and commence
calling on our feminine friends to learn
if the intimations of the oracle were
indeed true.
The inquiry naturally arose, Is not the
news too good to be credited? Farmers
with hay seed on their coats, boots and
all have long been at a discount
in the market matrimonial" Cannot
the fair oracle and her still fairer auditors
be at fault?
"Seven charming war widows''i The
number we are unable to make out. We
have also been told that they prefer
g Uncle Sam to any other man." which
is doubtless a wise decision. As to the
ladies' of uncertain age, it must be a
Drawer man than ourself to enter the list
contestants, who after ten years
experience on the skirmish line, have
not been compelled to surrender.
OF the nineteen young ladies whose
claims remain for consideration, we have
only to say, that 'hard shelr' has far too
much knowledge of feminality to under
axe to compete with gay young galIants,
when " lassies OF sweet sixteen are to
be the judges.
We cannot resist the conclusion that
Us Girls" have only spoken for them
'elves, and at this time we have right
'ully no other claimants for considera-
ion.
For their benefit we will therefore

men in matter of courtship, love and
n~atrimony; so that when the lady pro-
'oseth, itshall not be lawful for the man
o say her nay, but shall entertain her

To this code all gay young cavaliers
nd gallant knights have sworn fealty.
We will further say to aus Girls" be
