THE WONDERFUL BEING.

THE WONDERFUL BEING.
The Wonderful Being has got the
notion in its heal that The News
has saved the Taxpayers SO, 900.
We don't know where the Wonder
full Being got this notion. The
Wonderful Being has taken a new
turn on us. The Wonderful Being
has several times astonnded its cir
Gle OF admirers by its discoveries
in relation to The News, but this
last beats even the Wonderful Be-
ing, The Wonderful: Beings di-
gestiVe organs arc disturbed when
it conIemplates The News, and we
have frequently noticed that the
Wonderful is not entirely reliable |
when addressing the public in refer
ence to this paper. The Wonder
full Beings judgement, if it ever
had any, sadly ',gets away" with the
Wonderful Being when the Won
derful Being makes statements in
regard to THE News. We have
never stated how much The NEWS
saved the taxpayers. We have
never Kept correct account. But
we are satisfied that the Wonderful
Beings enthusiasm and disposition
to do the fair and honorable thing
towards us huave got it mixed.
We don't think the sum would foot
up over $24,5oO. We don't think
we ever claimed, even to our most
intimate friends, more than that.
The Wonderful Being, in its ankle
ty to give US credit, does too much.
and we hasten to correct the Won
derfnl Being. We are glad to wit
ness this desire on the part of the
Wonderful Being to do THE News
honor. We are glad the Wonder
full Being is just person, who was
made perfect from the earliest days
of its accountability. We are glad
the Wonderful Being knows there
is not a spot or blemish in its ma
ture. We are rejoiced that the
Wonderful Being thus acknowledge
es the .favors done it by US in the
part, By which it was enabled to cal
its bread and butter for some years
We have no doubt but that the
Wonderful Being will, when 1t has
a chance, do the fair thing by the
person or pyrsons on whose charity
it now eats its bread and butter.
1t may be true that this charity wal
extended from parties east to keeI
the Wonderful Being from coming
back on them for its support, which
it threatened to do, but that dom
make any difference with the Won
derful Being. It will remembe
the favor, and being so good, 81
pure, so upright, SO unlike common
humanity so great, so much bette
and "holier than thou" it will
do them justice. 1t will show then
how Wonderful it is when it gets
chance; how free from hollow
. heartedness, how smart-how i
can continue to but the place wher
= brains are ordinarily found, agains
q wall, and yet not even get tired O
draw forth from the stolid by-stand
. ers a remark, or create a ripple i
the current talk, over its presisten
cy. We are surprised that the PEG
