his company.
Although wine flowed as free as water on
ordinary occasions, there was one man who
didn't get a taste. Mr.. Dan Z. O'Sullivan,
the accomplished managing editor Of the
Courier. Journal, has never allowed an in
toxicsting drop Of anything to pass his
lips. Another Dan-Dan T. Fackler, of
the Danville Advocate, also refused TO i'm
bibe, but whether he has always been as
sbstemious we are not advised, tho we do
know that both missed heap Of fun.
George Dittoe, Of the Newport journal,
made the cold chills run over a number Of
editors who had not been very choice in
their remarks concerning him, by passing
himself of as Grove Kennedy. 1t was
cruel in George to scare the boys SO and
still more cruel to attempt to pass his phiz
off for Groves. The latter is much the
handsomest man and could get big DANA
ges before jury permitted to gaze on the
one countenance and then on the other.
The most modest and retiring gentleman
present was Mr.. Young E. Allison, mana
ging editor Of the Commercial Possessed Of
as bright and as cultivated a mind as any
man OF his age we ever knew and having a
decided talent for expressing his ideas in
graceful language, his fame will extend far
and wide, in spite Of his inato aversion TO
pushing himself forward. He il already
known as one Of the best writers on the
Louisville papers. His "ordinary CONVEX
sation" articles stamp him as wit Of the
fioest perception.
Polk Johnson's advice, "Boys, profit by
the experience of an expert-and touch it
lightly or you will wish you had tomor-
row." was like casting pearls to swine, I'M
appreciated and unheeded; but it was the
subject Of general remark, that no body OF
men ever came out of such a charge Sd
sober as did ours. Even brother Jim
Mars, Of the Advocate walked as straight
as a judge, and editor Hopper, of the
Lebanon Standard, was able to tell which
wac the mother Of the chick. the glass hen
that matches it or the real one that laid it.
"a fellow feeling makes us wond'rous
kind" therefore it was with more than
usual pleasure that we formed the acquain-
lance Of Mr.. Joe. Eakin, now on the Courier
Journal. He is a handsome stout backed
young man and il is a matter OF consider
able doubt whether the Ex-Governor could
have fractured his spinal column, as
he threatened to do with uplifted stick.
The difference between Mr.. Eakin's exper
fence with the old doctor, and our own, is
that the old fellow wanted to do for him,
what he offered to pardon anyone to do for
US. But we still live and az Bro. Barnes
would say, 80 say we, praise the Lord"
