hybrid, mongrel or mule, is a monstrosity,
and a ersss of political opposites is hardly
less so. Everything in the world, except a
" fearlessly independent editor, has char
acter-defned preferences and choice, and |

that men of regular and natural descent,

evolutionary ecoeptricitiesi should look for
reading matter with which they have some
sympathy. We shall receive ali such with !
becoming respect, and give them strong
meat a. for sound stomachs and full grown
men.
