While going from the Chicago Type Foundry
10 the Michigan Central Depot one day last
week We met with little mishap in the way
OF fan. The Independent describes the
matter thus:
Mr.. Conway, editor OF the Eortherner. met
with quite mishap while in Chicago, Tuesday
He was hurrylng 10 the tram, carrying 40 lbs
OF Z" sorts in his hands, and on turning cor
mar stepped on decayed peach which had
been care!essly thrown out from fruit stand,
and was thrown violently to the cobble- stone
pavement or the gutter, inhictng some ugly
bruises about his face and head"
Which IS just about the way we understood
the matter at the time OF its occurrence The
Press and Courier saw the matter in this light
to-wit:
"Neighbor Conway, OF the Northerner, came
home yesterday from Chicago, with mug
that was painful to see. HIS forehead and
nose were handsomely ornamented with large
strips OF court plaster, covering wounds and
bruises that made HIM look like lively young
Irishman the morning after an s. Elegant wake"
and fell, as he was running to catch the train
Tuesday afternoon, and having his arms full
OF parcels was unable to save himself: but

up an explanation on their way home from the
city, you know
We never expected such base ingratitude
from that journal. We had expected better
things from Ed. after the repeated acts Of
kindness bestowed upon him at sundry times.
And then to think Of how long and how care
fully we had refrained from mentioning GER
tain little shortcomings Of Ed. to say nothing
OF the dilemmas we had enticed him out OF.
Why Ed. do you mind the time we met you
on the street IN that little hamlet way down
by the head OF Lake Michigan, in a sort of
semi-loony condition, with part Of coat sleeve
missing, hair disordered and face streaked with
dust and perspration? You remember it, do
you! Well, perhaps you remember OF going
into dutch saloon and eating house, to get
some lunch. Aud, after perching your feet
upon the table, ordering some Limberger
cheefe-some with real loud odor-do
you remember how you smelt Of the condiment
and tossed it from you, declaring that the
Dutcbmin had imposed upon you by giving
you some Of the ordinary article? Do you re-
member how that Dutchman approached the
table, took up fragment, smelt Of it. and
placing his hand upon your shoulder, said
"What is the matter with that cheese? Iii

at the time, the doctor having gone to grove

hours crying for help, and was finally obliged
to work her way to the door as best she could,
