Fine Supper.

DIR. Crewdson, of Martinsburg, was
reporting for the LEDGER last week
and took his linen to the Chinaman
to be washed. The Chinaman did
not have them when called for, al
though Crewdson took a page OF Bob
Whites copy and proved to the
Chinaman's satisfaction that ii was
his receipt for the same. The day
after Crewdson left the Chinaman
gave a big dinner. The meal began
with q smoke, then thick, mucilagin-
Gus, but deliciously tasting soup,
with sea-slugs, mushrooms, and
pigeons eggs floating on it, was serv-
ed. After this came courses of fish,
pheasants, wild ducks-ail looked to
be very greasy. Dried pumpkin seeds
are a sort of Chineses olives, and
dried watermelon seeds were consid-
cred in the nature Of bonbons, and
fat rat pie was served as desert. We
don't think the Chinaman traded
Crewdson's clothes for rat

1t appears from a letter which we
have received from Missouri that ID.
L. Klncaid is using a private letter of
mine to him, as a recommendation
to the congregations of that state. l
wish to state distinctly that my pri-
vate letter was not, in any sense, IN
tended as a letter of public common
datlun. IL was intended for him
alone-for his own private good
and as a friendly letter of advice and
of encouragement as respects his fu-
ture course. The letter was not in
tended as an Endorsement of his past
career; and we wish it emphatically
understood that the Reriep does not
now indorse his past career, though
from personal and actual knowledge
we know very little about him. He
betrayed confidence in publishing my
private letter, which / now recall, and
which, in the future. must not be &C.
cepted as a letter of commentator.

FULTON, Mo Aug. 17.-Since ID.
L.. Kincaid has had the cheek to ask
the question, ''What has the order
of Odd Fellows got to do with my
Cd. L. Kincaid's) standing as a min
ister?''I feel called upon to inform
the readers of the LEDGER that on
July 10, 1SS6-four days after l was
informed that "Kincaid won't debate
till after the Fair"-an official letter
from the Odd Fellows at Perry, ILL.,,
was handed me by a citizen of Mex
leo containing the information that
Sd. L. Klncaid was expelled from
the lodge I've omit the charge be-
cause we do not think it fit for pub
lication.-ED. LEDGER Perhaps the
readers of the LEDGER will now be
able to- answer Kincaid's question
themselves.
The Presbyterian church and the
Odd Fellows lodge seem to be some
what alike in this respect, that they
usually expel such characters from
their fellowship. No amount of
whitewashing by interested parties
can ever make ID. L.. Kincaid a rep
utable gentleman
M. Y. Duncan, the lion lawyer, is
too dead to skin-a second time.
Let us now in conclusion sing No.
1876 of "Gallaher's Selections"
met a lion in my path,
CTwas on a dreary winters night, }
Which gave me the alternative
To either run or fight.
I dare not turn upon my track,
dare not think to run away,
For fear the lion at my back
Would SieZe me as his prey.
So summOning a fearless air,
Though all my soul was full of fright,
said unto the forest king,
l will not run but fight.
We f~ought-and as the fates decreed
conquered in the bloody fray,
For soon the lion at my feet
A lfeless carcass lay.
A little skunk was standing by,
And noted what the lion spoke;
And when he saw the lion die
The lions tack he took.
He used the lions very speech,
And stretching to his utmost height,
He gave Inc the alternative
To either run or fight.
l saw he was prepared to fling
Vile odors from his bushy tail,
And knew those odOrs very soon
My nostrilS would assail.
So summoning an humble air,
Though all my soul was free from
fright,
/ said unto the dirty brute,
"Tll run, but will not fight"
And so now in the present case,
I'd rather all would doubt my spunk
Than for a moment undertake
To battle with a skunk.
The congregation may now con-
slider the funeral attempted last week
a failure and themselves dismissed
