Danger in the Distance.

A certain wholesale dealer in Pea
nuts and Pie-plant, and general medd-
Ter i'll other peoples business, is on the
rampage. Our article on the festival
at Ackerman's seems to have touched
him up slightly. He thinks we We're
too severe on key, and he threatens
us with cow-hides and blunderbusses.
We don't know hat we said any
thing about the dove-likc Ikcy that
need stir up SO large an amount of
bile. key nisrepresented the Festi-
val, and in the interest of truth we
said SO, and will say SO Whenever
Ikey strays from the pleasant paths
of truth. The man with the long
cow-hide can't deprive us of a great
amount of sleep, and he will live lon
ger, and when he dies leave a longer
purse, by attending strictly to his own
business. Ikey certainly don't pay
much for such braggadocio.

The readers of the "Bug"- are being
continually surprised and enlighten-
ed. The latest news is the announce
ment that little key is a Farmer. He
has stopped the innocent piggies, and
chopped off their little tails as a pre-
tentative of cholera. key has wat
cred the melodious gooses, set the
virtuous hens, and gathered string
beans. key never maulod as many
rails as Lincoln, and he never hauled
the proceeds, like the country saver
Grant, but for all that he is q Farmer,
because he says he is, and like 6.
Washington, little Ikey has chopped
down Cherry trees, and can't tell a
lie. It is a little surprising to people
to learn that key is a farmer, and
would never have been known, if the
Farmers had not begun to wake up
and demand some little legislation in
behalf of labor and less for monopo-
lies. When monopolists and treasury
stcalers were swimming OH the SUR
face, little key didn't pay much at
~tcntion to cows and cabbage-it didn't
pay-but now, when labor is demand
ing recognition and thieves are be-
ginning to quake, there is a new deal
and little key shufftes from the bot
tom and turns up Jack. key is a
Farmer, and it rifles him to find hat
any one else is 4 Farmer. key wants
TO monopolize the farming business
and he is not going to have any other
farmer fooling around. Little key
has not been happy for some time,
aud it is n little mean, when happi-
ness is about to cover him with beau
ty, for any other man to turn up far
mcr and go rushing about taking the
offices from the little fellow. His
friend ofthe COW hide should at once
proceed to strangle any other man
claiming to be a farmer.
