"HEAD US, SOMEBODY!"

day comes to US, which, after excusing
=" Penis non appearance, gives US labor
ed and digni6cd article in support of
PENS" theories, which, after perusal,
freshencd our memory Of one Smiths en-
barrassing trial, which we must repeat to cur
readers, by way Of insroduction-
"a man named Smith had pet calf
which he was training up in the way Of an
OK. The caf walked very peaceful under one
end of the yoke. while Mr.. Smith held up
the other end, but in an unfortunate mo
ment the man conceived the idea of put
ting his own head in the yoke to let the
calf see how It seemed to work with a
partner. This frightened mister calf, and
eleyating his tail and voice, he struck
dead run for the village, and Mr. Smith
went along with his head down and pug
hat in his hand, straining every nerve to
keep up, and crying out at the top of his
voice: " Here We come, d-u our fool
souls; lead us, somebody"
Although our charitable intentions in
making the attempt to help to head - our
neighbor may lead US into unforeseen diff
culties, we shall make the effort and abide
the consequences, though with fear and
! trembling, as the Chronicle is the organ,
and its editor the assumed oracle on manu-
featuring in the village Of Two Rivers
q village second only to Lowell, Mass. in
manufacturing point of view.
! The Chronicle objects to our parson
mode of firstly, secondly, etc, up to and
including sizth,y, on the ground that he
always used to be soant asleep before the
parson reached thirdly; that We used ital-
les literally in requesting I" Penn )" to call
again If our " little harp y Gan insignia that
he gratuitously slung in our way suited
him. that we denounced Parson Dooley.
and anon, almost charmed the birds from
| the bushes with sweet refrains in favor
of Parson Beecher; that we answered
"Pem's " argument by trying to annihilate
tie writer; that those who thought the
! PILoT'S article cute are of a class whose
! opinions are worthless; and lastly he tossed
his paddy bIarncy stone at us by
| saying that the PILOT IS one of the Oldest
| papers IN the county, and Yields an I'M
/ meuse influence, hence should be on the
right side of progress in all material inter
/ ests, with the evident intention of binding
/ our eyes TO bis following statement that
our last effort MAS suprcmely ridiculous and
! irrelevant
In reply we have to remind the editor Of
the Chronicle "a q pnant son Of reverend
Iather), that he Is unnecessarily uagracious
to bis memory to gratuitou,ly admit that
he went to sleep at the thirdly, which may
POSSIBLY account for his lack OF Christian
charity that he SO plainly Displays in com
mon wi;t other THtoH,tes
1T. We had Presumed that italic
/ type Was made to Use, and woull last as
long as other typo in proportion, and have
not recovered from that de!uSion yet, but
have an oldlashioned reverence for a-ccr-
tanned facts, Arc you sufficiently posted
in the manufacture Of typc to aid US il this
emergency?
81. Our harp" which the CArcuicle
gives pasoin. rotice, we would gladly
lend It's editor, tut we don't like to have it
tuned to manufacturing these dull times.
We tuned $50 to speak).to Parson Dooley's
case from actual eye-sish., and believe that
no optical illusion interviewed. We do not
pretend to have been a mutull Moultonic
go-betw.en, OF even advisory counsel.
81. Our harp i. now tuned to the
eonsonauee sounds of the gospel of charity
IN the Bcecher business, rs we understand
1t, and shall never be unstrung until the
charges are more than mere accusation,
by as low and dcmorazed a set Of men
and women as ever pic-niced for scandal
Those who are actuated by decency
and justice, sit, as yet, in different
pew. We cite the editorial of Whitiaw
Reid, Of the New York Tribune, whose
opinion as editor-in chief of paper ut
least second an circulation and influence to
tie Too Rtcers Chronicle, is worthy Of
mention in this connection. I hat editorial
could not have been Influenced by the
PILOT S editorial Of Thursday last, as that
came on. in the Scmi-W eek!y of Friday
morning following that the PILor could not
have reached there By mail all viii conceLe,
and those who remember that the storm
OF last Thursday afternoon broke cur tale.
graphic communication with the South
and East wil! BE equally confident that we
DO not try to control the editorials of the
New York Tribune. While the o.I doc
triaa! puritan and pu,ist. who edits the
+ Chronicle, is horribly indignant because,
tUrsooth, we eannGt readily embrace
Pens theories on manufacturing, and
/ Tilton, Woodruff, ard Powers statements
Of Beeeher's morality at one fel, sweep.
Happily we held ourselves completely free
from the trammels, or more properly, the
freelo Of that school.
4tb. That We answered PENS article
by an effort to aaniLilate the writer. This
is Is q grave mistake; we have urged the
fact that capitalists will not usually seek
20 invest in manufacturing establishments,
when at least half of those already built arg
closed, and TIE other half running On half
and quarter time throughout the whole
country, and modestly suggested that they
might also require capability and integrity
Of those who manage their Investments.
These very awkward facts were apparently
annoticed by both Penn - and the Chroa- (
iete. 1t Is possible they may have lacked
adar ability for their use; they are anga-
