his mind as to where the place is. Hap

Krussyohaks. Anybody'n show you the
way to it.
The Officer inquiries his way to it, and
marches off his troops fifty miles, but can't
find it. He encounters another Core

Correspondent No. 2.--:Why, you mean

Affairs I'm the East-a Slight Confusion.

A. AND B. both entertaim the highest
opinion of each others intellect. Each is
longing to discuss the Eastern question
with SO clear. sighted aperson - the other
one is; and they both feel sure of being

is that, while A. reads the Daily Bidder,
which always has its particular spelling
of the names of Eastern places and per-
sons, B. takes in the Diurnas DOdderer,
which always gives its particular spelling
of the same.
