nn,your issue of April 21st, I notice
communication from our old friene
Plus" which he offers as an answer
to an article written by your humble
servant, and which was written fol
thesole purpose of benefiting himself
He might confine himself more closely
to truth and veracity. have no doubt
his last Communication was written in
the absence of that feeling which should
exist between all men-that naketh
man more social and humane.
In his article of the 10th, where he
first put his foot in it, "Plusn states
that "the panther transpired to be a
deer" and that he could not imagine
how j was SO badly mistaken, unless
lit was through my 'over-anxiety to
capture something appertaining to the
panther species" AS pointy an asser-
'tion as he could make, especially with
no cause or provocation whatever.
In later issue he said 1--WE inadvert-
emily remarked so-and-so. That is the
way he tries to get out of it, and is a
good deal like putting something upon
the boys. It is a plain case that he has
got the thing tangled.
The point with me is to know wheth-
or he is not, like some others, a little
inclined ito want to bear down on new
corners, or whether he just wanted to
OF linz
people, did not know what to say.
Had / known, rs / now do, who |
"Plus" was, I should not have taken |
any notice of his ignominious slang.
In his denial of belonging to any of |
the Nimrod fraternity, "PIus" tells the
truth without any doubt. l think
there are no such persons in that class
a. "Plus', is.
1 did ask "Plus' to come out with
his read name, but now withdraw
that1equest. would not ask any one
to do what I would not myself do, al
though he spells his name with the
same number Of letters as do mine..
On careful analysis of what he has
lately been throwing up, it was only
"Plus" that acted the part of hog by
getting all the syrup himself and not
dividing with his learned assistant.
Be more generous next time, "Plus,n
with your partner, and you will come
out better after this.
'Plus," no doubt you think yourself
well covered, but you give yourself
away in your last two communications
do not want to hear OF "Plusn out
squirreling any more, as he was last
evening. No more of that,
Il quseaor some one may call you q
" 41mf0d which would be calamity

u . big leap to jump from pan-i

m$de, am constrained to think that
H8uaA never had much, II any, meat
son toshim by me, as peddler. N.Y.
rule WAS to sell to those that had the

hink you have all the pay you want.
After they have eaten the meat, when
,o4 hedr from them again, it is by

where The rub comes in. But, after :

The last time saw "Plusn he had 4 :
