Mr.. Lancet says good deal about my
swapping off No. 2 for the newest
member of the sO-forth gang, and tries
in many ways to have something in

were personaied by one party, and
lanced by a second, we consider
ourselves square in the fight with no
quarters to ask or none 10 give. You
did more in your peace mission 10 es-
tablish Adonis' guilt than we. You
stated that Adonis winged his little
arrow home not thinking of the bitter
ness on its point. Here you admit
that our charge was correct, but AdOn-
is did not know it. Now, we are a
little more careful about what is con-
tanned in our communications. We
never wing athing anywhere until We
know its point contains none of the
bitter principle. We never deal in
sarcastic fun, or cut feathers, because
it is not best to so. If our friend Is
defeated it does not follow that he is
not a gentleman, and when one makes
a comparison. there should be some
similarity between subjects. Lancet
says he took an impartial view of our
