Cincinnati ii Gazette, did to a printer, and
WHY HE DID IT.
The Deacon is the truly good man, made
famous bv the efforts of the New York Sun,
and the Cincinnati Comm srcial. He has
red hair, and a sswmill voice and looks both
ways for sunday. His main horror is the
fact that the Commercial and Enquirer
publish Sunday editions-which, as you
