Dear Herald:
Lancet, alias peace maker, the gent
that glories in the sharpness of his
point; he who had tut the cap-sheaf
upon the controverted point at issue
between Signumsqueezy and Adonis.
by checking little for the latter,
comes to the attack again in regular
spread eagle style. II does occur to
me that after the good advice | gave
Lancet that he would not commit
himself any more. But see in his
last | really can't tell what title TO
give it) he ,adheres TO his former con
Trajectory mode. Lancet. if | mistake
not says that ''our expectations were
wrought TO high pitch in anticipation
of Signumsqueezy's answer to Lancet.
We were expecting a sumner, and it
came-in horn" All, what prompt
ed you to expect a stunner' If you
were impartial in your peace mission,
that is strange if not amusing.
Lancet thanks me for second pub
LEGATION of his letter; but 1 prefer to
be quoted correctly, says he. Error
again. Iquoted your language ver-
batum as the record will show. His
quotation marks seem to have been
spriukled on with a pepper-box. Lam
Gets language. Well, l did that in
order 10 keep step to your shot gun
points. Again he says, "By his
marks am represented as commenc-
ing sentences with small letters. Mis-
taken again, Mr.. Lancet (Pll abridge
your name little for variety-no Of.
fenso l hopel. the record will show this
also.
Then he quotes me as saying, Ear

and you will find the
word mine, and used to refer readers
to your continued remarks. Farther

to cut their feathers, &C." Your Ian
guage exactly, with one error, that of

the setting.
Lance says, "You attempt to clear
yourself from my charge OF wrangling.
He says | charged wrangle, but did
not locate the blame oft. Error again.
You said: Adonis and Signumsqueezy

each other over Tilden's vote, OIL some
thing else, there was not much telling
what. But, as il is a matter of re.
cold. | will let it rest. Lance SAYS
1--WE meet with such men as John and
Charlie very often What kind of
men are these? Well, Lance, from
the way you put the sentence, nothing
being understood, either pro or con.
would readily conclude, as their color
was not mentioned, that John and
Charlie were both males. Now, this
is the only legitimate solution. Mr..
Lancet. "Such peaches may be large,
red and ripe; or, they may be small,
yellow and green" just so. Lance.
Still you would not understand Butler,
Fowler and Kerl to define or mean red
and ripe peaches, if they alluded to
them as yellow or green ones, Nix.
You need have no fear, Lance, of in
sulting me by excluding me from your
role Of grammarians. l am too thought.
full to trespass on grounds beyond the
caliber of my comprehension. Nix.
Now, Lance, we must, in order to
properly appreciate grammar and its
objects, not only have smattering Of
sentences, bur understand grammar.
