THE Anderson .Ns'es gives Us some
good advicein regard 70 our little spai

which We endorse. Newspaper quar-
rels are as distateful 70 US as anybody
and we try never TO provoke enc.
We had no intention whatever Of rails

good bumor. said that the picture Of
Uncle Tom" published in the Tribune
was a good likeness Of Murphy
father. and We do not believe that

would have construed it into a thrust
at his paternal relative. We dill not
know the ass father--in fact, We do
not know that he ever had one, and
therefore could not have meant any
disrespsct to "the whits-haifed man
eighty years DID," But the skunk
seemed to think that we did, and
thereupon let loose his stink-boxes up
on us. We could not stand the stencil
