Of such paper.
The Homer IHdd man IL raging
speaks about hell, - fools, drunk,
crazy, etc. The Ilaad being y Radical
paper Is afflicted with q patent outside.
The patent outside man seemed desirous
to poke some fun at the paper, and sent
an outside dated Aug. 30, so that the
Iidd is just about one month In advance
Of the earth. sun, moon and stars.
The Vienna Sentinel has a strage style
Of political announcements. The adver-
