| were 80 Olg JnaG 6le could not Keep
M" with him: and in order to get rid OF
the company of Brudder Bones she told
him it would be necessary for her to
carry an unabridged dictionary in her
pocket, as she could not understand the
meaning Of the big words he expressed
during the conversation. Mr.. Editor,
just think of a young lady in a ballroom
i'll toilette dc bal with Mebster's octave
unabridged dictionary in her pocket, in
conversation with Brudder Bones. Will
| it be supposed for a moment that Brnd-
der Bones would be culpable of such a
breach of etiquette as to compel poor,
young, sweet and innocent girl to carry
such huge work in her pocket to cause
her to become humpback and deformed
so that the blood could not freely cir
cumulate and cause the innocent crea
ture to die Of the "delirum triangles."
Never! in thunder tones, never! Not
satisfied with this, this bob-tail critic
said that whenever Brntlder Bones was
engaged in writing an article for your
estiaable journal that he had on his
right Webster's unabridged dictionary,
on his left a grammar, and stationery in
profuse quantity. -
Remarks also We're made respecting
Nick of the Woods, to the effect that his
writings were not extemporaneous-
is to say, he was guilty of plagiarism,
copying his articles from dime novels
etc. What a pair, Mr.. Editor! Nick
with his romantic and nocturnal cos
tune long tail coat, short trousers, COON
skin cap with long tail, surrounded with
dime novels, and Brudder Bones, SINH
larry clad, with a large umbrella, gram
mar, dictionary, ETC., preparatory to tax
ing their exit to Kansas What an ex-
traordinary caricaturing cartoon for an
illustrated paper! No, Mr.. Editor, Brud-
der Bones is not, nor is his contrere, Nick
of tho Woods, guilty of such insinua-
tions, and your correspondent would
simply say to this young wonld-be critic
that he denies these allegations and
would advise the alligator to show more
discretion in the future or else he viii
be "snatched bald-headed." Brudder
Bones is plain, unassuming individual,
and he is happy to state that his educa-
ton on politeness has not been neglected.
OF course he has not had the advantage
ofreceiving a collegiate education, owing
to the financial inability of his parents,
but being Of studious disposition and
having strong desire of accomplishing
an education, he applied himself to the
persistent study of instructive books and
by that method acquired some knowl-
edge; and without undue presumption,
the writer entertains the opinion that if |
this young censor would adopt similar
example, he would become more intel !
ligent, judicions and popular. There is
another individual in the community,
who can be termed q culmniator, who
makes himself officious and is ostenslbly
inclined to believe that Brudder Bones
ought to be logged" for such is his
expression. This seems to Brudder Bones
and ifhe attempts to administer
TO him fogging he will find out that
he will not have an easy task doing it,
For Brudder Bones will not suffer any
one to swallow him up alive and will
defend himself This individual
should have a cause to injure the writer,
md if he is over-zealous in this endeavor
he should do it in an open and gentle
manly manner. In the language of the
lm0us delineator of human nature that
Who steals my purse steals trash, tits
something, nothing
3nt he that filches from me nv good
name,
2obs me of that which not enriches him,
md makes me poor indeed"
He is therefore politely requested to
lesist from using calumny against the
Your correspondent has
10 disposition to injure any one, nor is
le disposed to tolerate any impositions
f he can possibly avoid it.
Independently yours,
BRUDDER RONES
