GkTH SCOOPS" 'EM ALL.
Aud Creates Il Sensation Among the
Columbus Correspondents.

telegraph wires to let loose a great sem
sarion-tn or fifteen columns OF solid
onparcIl--upon II terrified and appre-
hensiyc world.
A gentleman came in from Redwood
and said that Il long-haircd man with
a green bingham umbrella, who had
been hanging around that village for
week, terrifying the women and chill
dren, had packed his gripsack and
come TO Columbus with a fierce look Of
determination in his eye.
Who could this be but the veritable
and yoracous "Gath?'
A meeting of the correspondents was
Immediately called to take action upon
the remarkable visitation. Jim Boyle,
Of the COmmerci1l-Ga? presided,
and stated the object of the meeting.
Il have got onto the mission of this
insatiate monster Gath, " said Mr..
Boyle, "and he has a big scoop on US.
s. far as | am able to see we might as
vel resign at once, for our various old
men will hardly ever forgive US for let
ting it get away
what can it be?n unused Haley, of
the Cleveland Penny Post. HAS he
got any fresh facts about Columbus
discovering Amcrica?'
"Oh, no; it's good deal fresher
than that, " said Charley Boncbrake, of
the Springfield Giobe and Cincinnati
V0'hfcmd.' 1T must be the bottom
facts about the crusGdcs, including an
interview with Richard G. De Leon
old Dick was great talker, you
know"
Il know what it is, put in Joe
Smith, Of the S,atc-J0urHal; it is an ac-
count Of Strongbow capturing Ireland.
Gath always had a faculty Of getting
hold of things Of that kind--fresh, and
crisp, and newsy.'
MY opinion is" remarked Jack
Winship, Of the Columbus Times, "that
it IS about the Norman conquest and
Horse, and those old roOsters who used
to drink barrel OF ale and eat a whole
hog in the way Of celebrating the orig
ina and unrecOnslructcd Fourth Of Ju-
Ivy
II would like to satisfy myself that
either of these explanations IS the cor
rect one said Mr.. Mccker, of the To-
IoIo Bee, "but he always oets into a
fresh subject He is going to give the
life and labors Of 81. Patrick in Ire
land
