EDITOR SEsTISEL -Inasmuch as you
seem to have no use for the blank page 0.
your supplement- it occurred to me that il
might be utilized in presenting the views
Of q sgreeny" just from the Orient. Some
years ago an individual. whose name shall
at present be nameless, informed me ssuh
rosa, that Eureka possessed more people
Of genius, talent and culture than any
other Owl or camp west Of the Rocky
Mountains. / believed him; yes, foolishly
believed him. and as ; consequences Of this
belief, have concluded that there was S lit
tie job intended to ensnare your credulous
correspondent. Eureka. from my stand
point, is an awful funny place Ii has its
theatres, its concert halls. its dives, its me-
lodeons. its hurdy-gnrdies, its bells. its
gambling saloons. and its fools. chief
among which latter please regard your
humble servant.

F0REii, Now. Mr. Editor, you can stick
pins where you please, either before or be-
hind, but for the life Of me, / confess I
cannot see the point You may attribute
this to nv o~btnseness: but. sir. / entertain
my own views. regardless II the opinions
OF those who pronounce Dungeon CELL
Don Juan cell, sDon Johns cell. or n
other sell, than that intended for the in
carceration of the offender charged with
tie copmission Of the ofense. which seems
to have merited the punishment inflicted.
What it is or what il was. l leave the
critics to Determine / give il up. Young
ladies' Of musical education insist upon
singing Z. Don juan" cell : elder msidens,

rather / am NOT quite certain how those
older pronounce Dungeon cell"
Your duties prevent you from rising
early, but if you were from the land of
steady habits, or your bed not comfortable,
or you wanted an early cocktail yon would
find any number Of subjects typical of the
aforesaid genius, talent and culture. Why,
sir assembled around the stoves Of the
ail-night houses. yon can readily find a
Bacon. a ChillingEor1h. a Chatham, a

and a Macaulav, and even a Carlyle, all
more grandly developed all possessing
more Of the Spartan. the gliitering rhefor-
ical, the ponderous, the eleph2ntine, the
pyrotechnic, the American Indian. ETC.,
than those above named / claim that all
Of these representatives can be found early

bed. They are afraid that they
will miss something OF great import,
hence they are ever wakeful and yigilant;
under spiritual inspiration they rise to
grandeur incomprehensible and sublime,
and woe be to him who has the temerity to
deny or contradict. Why. sir, / have
heard certain individuals talking learnedly
Of special Legislation" and the violation
Of the Constitution. who had not the most
remote idea of the meaning Of the word law,
or who had ever read one line Of our great
magma charta- Speaking Of the classics,
you have nc knowledge Of the many classi-
cal cusses who abide among rs. OF art,
they can inform you Of al the old masters,
and misses. too. OF poetry, why sir, you
would be amazed at the wonderful creation
OF these nen OF genius-these scholars,
members OF the dilettanti-who brook no
denial and rout all antagonists. / am
talking. sir, from actual experience, and il
you differ from, and with me. at some fu-
ture time will be able to elucidate my rea-
sons for b may be regarded this prefa-
tory screed. The reasons, sir-the reasons
but wait, for / have SosE HAD.
