e Zeitgtn0 of to-day saws.

The Volks Zeit1ng of to-day says
The Union seems to be so hard up"
for joke to lend interest to its yawning
columns that in order to conceal its bar
renness of ideas it makes, in its Sunday. is
sue,a remark entirely fictitious and utterly
groundless about the editor of this paper.
Questioned about 1t, the editors of the
Union said that the remark had only been
meaut as fun or joke and then they
brought in theis Tuesday paper notice,
alleged to serve as explanation of the first
item, regarding camp near Davenport in
which four residents are said to have pas
sed time by catching mosquitoes aud bet
ting on the same, also inviting passers. by
to free lodgings. While the first item was
so mean and baseless that we have, in a
ten years career as journalist, not found
its parallel yet, and which was very i'll
timed especially towards US as a principal
customer of that concern, the second item
ascends such height of stupidity, that
we pEopounded the question to us,whether
the inmates Of that alleged camp would
not have better whscked, instead of mos
quitoes the poSteriors of block heads who
set before the world such stupid pesnness
as fun" or Joke. "
We inform the Union that our time is
too much taken up by business as to allow
Rs to pay any more attention to it and its
bagate!les.
