A few weeks ago In Delaware, from the
Brandywine creek to the sunny sands Of
Sussex county, almost every man one
would meet would stop him and ask;
Stranger, can you tell me who Is Ad-
dicks" In few days this mystery was
solved by the masses and Addicks was
found to be q genial, whole-souled fel-
low, and an ardent Reput lican who had
decided to take hand In the effort now
being made to break the solid South AID
place Delaware in the column of the Re-
publican States, where she rightfully be-
longs. Then the questi.n was asked
where does he belong? aud the response
came from Clsynont, Del. "What,"
says one OF the questioners, "ls 1t possible
that the man who has stirred up such D
,ommotion In d DlaEare in sucn short
space of time belongs in the little village
Of Claymona Why, says he, this re-
min3s me of the days Of old spoken of in
tha New Testament, when the Jews ex-
claimed, "Can any good thing come out
of Nazarethp Well, it wds found to be
true that great parsonage did come out
OF Nazareth, and it now seems possible
that great man has suddenly come up
out OF Claymont.
Oh, yes, says a listener (who lives IN
Mr.. Addicks' immediate vicinity), and
we still have a mighty man in Claymont,
who is astounding the world with his
mighty teachings, and whose wise sayings
and proverbs are becoming as familiar,
upon as mauy different subjects, as those
Of David's book of proverbs, recorded in
the Old Testament, and as marvellous and
spicy as the Songs of Solomon. Is that
SOP To whom do you refer, says by
stander; and the response comes prompt
ly, Yetto. Yetto, says the hearer, who in
the deuce is Yettol And the answer comes
forth, "He is also from Claymont, Del. .
He Is the greatest writer Of the age, and
out ivals King David In the number and
| variety OF his proverbs, which he is adding
to daily and publishing them To the world
| for the instruction and ediication OF
mankind, and the name of Yetto will
soon become as familiar to the American
people as the name OF Addlcks has be-
come, within the past three weeks, to the
politicians of Delaware. In addition To
the mighty and instructive proverbs pro.
mulgated by Yetto, he, as your CORE
spondent is informed, lie engaged in get
ting up revised edition OF the sacred
writings, which will eclipse those of King
Solomon as to the variety of the subjecti
treated upon, and outrival In variety
Tho Q of the much-learned and wise olJ
king Of Jerusalem; and the question vii
soon cease to be asked, "Can any goot
thing come out of Claymont, DelawareP
In recent communication from thl
great Yetto, published In the DAILY RE
PUBLICAN, he exclains. "There are TWEEN
ty-flye 'Peedrows' in Cllymont and only
one Yetto."
Well, have no doubt but what h
says is true. Claymont, at present, |
certainly too small to have more than on
Yetto In 1t at time; and then, II Their
should be more than one such might,
weights as he on the extreme upper ent
of the State of Delaware, the entire por
tion of the State below Brandywlne Hun
dred would certainly tilt up. Truly
Yetto, thou art great man; and th
sublime proverbs which thou hast penne,
will undoubtedly be handed dow
through thy children and thy children
children until the tides cease to ebb an
flow; and thy name will become immor
, tai, and have no doubt but in the futur
! that many of the great temples erecte
: throughout the world In honor of tn
great sages and philosophers who hay
: lived upon the earth, will have carved o
their portals: Erected In commemori
ton of Yetto, the sage and philosopher c
the nineteenth century"
Amen-So m ote 1t be.
AN ADMIRER.
