The oracle has spoken. We live,
thank God. You are philanthropist.
We bow before the mighty genius
Matched in nut shell, and warmed into
life by mamma Physiology. l trust
the parents of Winnemucca will forgive
you for concealing so long your noble
endeavor to enlighten the minds of
their children; but you could not help
it; you are SO modest. When they
know you better they will curse you.
Many thanks for the honor of your
notice. You have thrown down the
gauntlet; / except the challenge with
all possible respect. At my leisure
will answer, and with illogical ideas
attemp to meet this master mind; and,
perhaps, command a little of the atten-
| ton of the parents of Winnemucca
At present / will handle you tenderly
you are so delicate. There is nothing
40 painful to your ignorant correspond
ent than to contradict a gentleman of
| your vast ability and distinguished
character, and yet l must incur your
displeasure, and tell you that / and
numerous others differ from you.
Consider the sacrifice lose your poll
lshed society; throw away the benefit
to be derived from communion with
your gifted intellect, an intellect that
makes You the admiration of the COM
munity; you are of much consequence
| and believe me, all the language | am
| permitted 10 use-could never do JUS
tice to the lowering grandeur of your
genius. Retire behind the purity of
your chaste lie. and permit me to sug-
gest follow the road to fame through
other and more legitimate channels
than letter writing. Suppose you
honor us with lecture on your pet
baby. / hope you would feel relieved
| from the experiment. / am free to
express my wonder at the gifts so
beautifully bestowed on you, and my
establishment has no limit when see
you dwelling among Us poor heathens,
when other fields of more maenitude
require the blessing of your immortal
talents. 1t is of little consequence to
the parents of Winnemucca whether
my intentions were sincere or not when

The question for all to consider, AIN l
right or wrong. The parents see
through my simple, ignorant eyes, and
they will tell you so by refusing to
allow their children to study your pet
baby. Your sophistry is not sound,
for the voice Of truth and reason; yes,
experience. practical in it's nature,
condemns you, and pronounce your
rhetoric the escaping cry Of "a mind ill
at ease-and body too. Will you par
| don my presumption and allow my
most respectful apology to atone for
sensuring you, Father Phys" Allow
me to bid you goodbye for the present
Until speak to your baby again. and
attempt to tune its morality, l will
lease you to the sublime compan-
ionship of your own great intellect,
shrouded in garment of polished
courtesy and merciless satire. Hence
forth l shall cease to dwell upon those
useful and pleasing projections Of heart
and head, which the few friends of
Physiology" in this town possess.
That they are its friends is u satire
on the doctrines preached; and believe
me. were the catalogue in print, the
most sedate would cry while reading it.
Goodbye. Your great abilities
makes me blush for the insignifcance
ofmine. PARENT No. 2.
