An Editor Gained and Another Chained.


An Editor Caued and Another Chained.
There seems to be no limit to surprise
parties and presents at the closing up OF
81. A pleasant event for all parties con
ccrned took place in the Bee Office, Toledo,
on Saturday evening last, which is ex-
planned in the Smdoy Journal After elab.
Grating at some length upon the unexam-
Piled prosperity which has attended the
Daily Bee since it's first issue, il proceeds to
describe the situation IN which the manag-
ing and city editors Of the Buzzer found
themselves through the deep.laid and we'll.
executed plans OF the members of the hive,
as follows:
About o'clock yesterday, the editorial
staff ended the days lnbors in q programme
little out of the usual order, presenting
gold-headed cane to the bachelor editor in
chief, III. s. Chaplin, who is supposed to
need an artificial helpmeet, since he has so
far declined to close up an engagement with
the regularly ordained staff and stay of
mans existence, and beautiful gold chain
for Mr.. F. J. Oblinger.
Chaplin that he should surprise Oblinger
with the presentation speech, while with
Oblinger, in turn, il was provided that he
should make the bachelor conversant with
his good fortune. The result, was u sur
prise to each which was heartily enjoyed
by the swarm come home to the hive. Oh
linger was in the room when the Buyers
assembled, waiting for the arrival of his
associate. The associate entered with the
chain concealed in his vest pocket OBJ

pin, who is slightly deaf, paid no attention
TO him, but strobe, Napoleon like, forward
and got in word or two. Then the situa-
ton dawned upon them both. What each
finally did say we give below. The cane,
presented to Editor Chaplin, is n fine ebony
staff, gold.mounted, bearing the following
inscription:
Henry s. Chnpin,
Editor Toledo Bee,
From the
Buzzers,
Christmas, 1881.
The following are Mr.Oblinger's remarks
in presenting it:
Mn CHAPrs :--1n behalf of the employees of
| the Toledo Evening Bee, aud Of ynur associates
in the editorial and business departments of
| to me of prese nting you with slight token of
the esteem and regard in which they hnld you
not only as the leading represe NATIVE of this
establishment. but as well for your ability as
an editor. your Kindness as an employer, your
| integrity as man, and frr those inestinabe
qualities Of the heart, which go to make life
pleasant, and which have so distinguished your

and with |; our kind regards.
The chnste and beautiful chain given Mr..
| Oblinger bears on charm the following:
F.J Obinger,
City Editor Bee,
From the Buzzers,
Christmas, 81.
The following are Mr.. Chapin's remarks :.
| MR.. OBLINGBR This is simply a case of
| false pretenses, l was induced by the buys to
| come 10 here Tor the purpose of saying to you
| that there are numerous complaints against you
that you are accused OF being good fellow,
| and of committing numerous otner Irregularities;
you are also accused of carrying watch with
| out such attachment as becomes u blOated jour
ualist, and as this is good time for settling up
old scores, was asked TO present this chain as
a taken Of regard. II is evidently an appropri-
ate emblem. For instance, these links of gold
| were once -aight bars, but bent i n their pres
ent shape they may be regarded as typical of
| native purity gone crooked. need not elabo-
rate this point. The square and compass on
| this SEAL are typical Of the manner in which
| the successful journals, is expected to square
off and compass the other fellow in search Of
| an item; the bar on the chain shall remind you
| that the jou rnast is not barred from telling the
| truth occasionally, and as you hook ii in your
button hole it will doubtless prove not merely
a pleasant reminder of your associates, but
| will arouse you to new deeds of daring in hook
ing from exchanges.
| At the close of the weeks labor the en-
! ployes of the Bee were summoned To- the
counting room, and those having families
were presented with fine, fat Christmas
turkey, while the single men received their
gifts in choice cigars. The "comps" were
surprised as well rs delighted with the COM
pliment bestowed upon them by the au-
thorities OF the Bee, and highly appreciate
the gifts of esteem and estimation.
