Bill Kya Has Something to Say In Ih'
Connection,
T.rhe following queries are answered
through the columns Of the press, be-
cause the letters did not contain
stamps. People who lie awake nights
trying TO ID ink of difficult questions &c
ask those whose time is taken up, for
getting at the same time TO inclose
stamps for reply, should be rebuked. !
now take this method of revenge IN the
following cases.--B. Nd
CALLER. - K our calling cards should
be modest as TO size, and neatly en-
grayed, with no extra flourish. II you
happen to be q militia colonel who was
killed while sitting in a draught, it will
not be necessary for you to put the full
title, 'tMys. Colonel De Binks, On your
cards.
In calling there are two important
things to be considered: First, when TO
call, and, second, when to rise and hang
on the door-handle. Some make one
third of the call before rising, and then
complete the call while airing the house
and holding the door open, while others
consider CHS low and vulgar, making at
least one-fourth of the call in the hall
and one-l1alf between the front door
and the gate. Regarding the time at
which TO call little need be said. The
general rule, however, seems to be that
o., d pleasant afternoon, when others
ladies are all out calling, is a good E
TO make large number of calls

AMATEUR PRIzE FIGHTER. The
boxing glove is o large, upholstered
buckskin mitten, with an abnormal
thumb aud string by which it is at
tachedto the wrist, SO that when you
fesd it to an adversary he can not swal-
low 1t and choke himself. There are
two kinds OF gloves, VIZ: hard gloves
and soft gloves. once fought with
soft gloves to a finish with a young man
who was lar my inferior intellectually;
but he exceeded me in brute force and
knowledge of the use OF the gloves. He
was not SO tall, but he was wider than
myself. Longitpdinally he was my in,
ferier, but latitudinally he outstripped
ne. We did not fight a regular prize
eight. 1T was Just done for pleasure;
hut do not think we should abandon
ourselves entirely to pleasure. 1t is en-
esvating, and makes our eye swell up
and turn blue. .
still think that 9 young man ought
10 have knowledge Of the manly art OF
seif-dsfense, and, if he could acquire
such knowledge without getting into
fight about it, would surely learn
how TO defend myself.
The boxing gloveis worn on the hand
OF QUE party and on the CORY nose OF the
othar party as the game progresses.
Soft gloves very rarely kill any one, UNI
less they work down into the bronchial
tubes and shut off the respiration.
LECTURER, New YORK CRY, =. You
need not worry so much about your
costume until you have written your
lecture, and it would be q good idea to
test the public q little, il possible, oe-
fore you do much expensive printing.
Your idea seems to be that a man
should get y fine Autograph of himself
and a One-hundred-do dollar suit of clothes,
and then write the lecture to tit the
Autograph and the clothes. This is or
Youeons.
You say that you have written part
of your lecture, but do not feel satisfied
withiS. In this you will no doubt ind
many people who will agree with you.
You could wear q full dress suit of
black with propriety ,or q Prince Albert
coat, with your hand thrust into the
bosom OF it. I once lectured on the
subject Of phrenology in the southern
portion OF Utah, being at the time tenn
porariiy busted, but still hoping to tide
over the dull times by delivering lee
ture on the subject OF Brains, aud
how TO detect their presence I was
not supplied with phrenological bust |
st that time, and, as such thing is
almost Indispensable, I borrowed q |
young man from Provost and induced
him to act as bust for the evening. He /
did SO with thrilling effect, taking the
entire gross receipts Of the lecture
course from my coat pocket while was
illustrating the effect OF alcoholic st1m-
ulents on the raw brain Of an adult in
the state of health.
