himself TYPO There are some
things in Typos correspondence wor-
thy of comment, and deserving of
more than passing notice; first, be-
cause thay ara from the pen Of the
eminent typo" whose literary and
fame has astonished the inhabitants of
the remotest corners of Paris and part
of Palmyra
Secondly, the peculiar good { p taste
Of Typo, is something to be admired
by all lovers Of spicy historical sketch
es.
The abovs, Mr. Editor, are few of /
the reasons that have induced me to
call the readers attention to some Of
Types statements in said "Correspon-
dence. He leads off with the gener-
osity of which he complains of others
not having, by acknowledging his pen
'untanght., presume none that kRoa0
him viii raise an issue with him on
that askno wledgement( save )instead of
pen. he should have written brain. He
continues: ssTo the unacquainted per-
hapsa word its history will be in
teresting,n "a aud proceeds to chronicle
q few Of the most Interesting historic7
al events according to his matured
/ judgement,) i. e. that Jacob Minyoung
and a few families from mountainous
Wales came to Paris fifty years ago,
and that Minyoung is son of the
Green Isle. / was not aware, Mr..
Editor, that Baltimore. Maryland, was
called The Green ISLE Neither was I
aware thatfhe sons.of the Green Isle
were able to talk the German language
/ or possessed the German brogue that
Mr.. Minyonng hath. Sc much for
that. ,Now,th truth is this: Instead
j Of Miny young coming here fifty years
ago together with few families from
4 Wales, Paris was first settled by tho
I HnGson's and the Selby,s over sixty
i years ago. It will be only forty years
ago next spring when the first Welsh
4 family came to Paris, !. e. Job Morgan
and wife and their son John; that be-
ing In the spring of 1882. Jacob Min
& young did not come here till 1884. VIM.
Rowland and family came the same
year, they being the second Welsh
family that settled in Paris.
II IN as much as Typos statements are
SO erroneous in reference to the local
events of his own town, in which he
lives, and has lived for years, it's not
at all strange that he should make
misstatements in regard to the Sab
& oath Schools and the church, Gn either
Of which he does not live and has not
! lived for years) The reader probably
! has noticed that of the many charges
he has perferred against the churches,
he has not substantiated one of them,
nor has he proven one Of the many as
ssriions he has so pointedly and
4 personally made against the church
members. He easserts that the Rev. r.
T.sDavis was sent here TO Paris to at
tack the present church organizations
and destroy them and on their ruins
establish'sfhe free church. He does not
try to prove the assertion nor could
he. did he wish to. The facts in the
case are these Mr.. Davis is the pastor
of the Disciple church in Niles, and
having once been pastor of our Bap-
tist church in this place, made as a
friendly visit after an absence of many
years, and while here, delivered a
course Of Theological lectures. There
was nothing in said lectures to war;
rant Mr.. tTy ypo' in accusing the Rev
Grand gentleman of any sinister mo-
tives. On the contrary, they were in
suructive and edifying to all, (save
Typo and delivered in the spirit OF
, the divine Master, with authority and
power.
In his second epistle he asserts that
the churches here are losing influence
and power, and our little light is in
danger of becoming darkness and the
, salt losing its SAVIOR. The read eI
would naturally suppose Typo TO be
a perfect model of christian, by the
way he quotes scripture, and that be
deeply feels for our spiritual welfare
; and mourns over the fact that our Sab
bath school is real ghost of school.
! He probably
sBlesses and praises Code matchless might,
While we poor souls are left in night
That he is here before his sight
For gifts and grace
| A burning and ashining light
To all this place;
That he is here chosen sample,
20 show his grace is great and ample.

/. Itsounds as ridiculous to hear Typo
rebuking the churches as to hear the
d--l rebuking sin, or to see him cross
himself with holy water.
If there is one thing more than an
d other that proves total depravity it is
Typos fallen state. The once diIligent
/ student in our noted halls of learning
! perusiAg Blackstone and other legal
authors, aspiring to be elassed fore
5 most in the legal profession, the once
I noted and successful conductor of a
: musical Troupe, and at one time nom
$ ina1 member of christian church, bat
!. like the prodigal son, left his fathers
t house, and now delights in riotous
living, and like the dog has returned
= to his vomit and the sow after being
/, washed TO her wallowing in the miro.
: ..oh Lueifer. proud son of the morning,
g How thon art fallen.'
: Typo had better pull the sawlog out
5 of his own eye ere he undertakes tc
: point to the notes in the eyes of his
a neighbors. and ere he chronicles an.
