Answers to Correspondents.

As it becomes more thoroughly
branded on the public intellect that
we are an almost invaluable adviser
in matters which are somewhat
touched upon in "Witer, Home AMI
Heartburn" we are being unmerci-
fully submerged in correspondence
from persons far and lei whom we
have never met, in a great measure.
The only difference between myself
and Gen. Harrison is that he wears
a full beard and people write to him
giving advice which may wisely
guide the president-elect in filling
the ''cane bottom" chairs of the cab
met department, whereas we have
dispensed with the full beard act,
and receive letters asking for guild
| ance instead Of missives containing
it. We are a little in the dark on
executive appointments, but as we
said some years ago, we should very
much like to have a postoffice, bear
ing a yearly salary of say SGT, with
the privilege of enjoying the large
and deadly secrets of the aflluent
postal card, cen though it be mark
ed confidential, though | fear it
might make me a trife n~ristocratic,
whatever that may be. With refer
ence TO the inside history Of the
Richland postoflice and to the twelve
gentlemen seeking to get the purple
of authority as stamp vender here,
at an early date, we are authorized
to say that III appointments dwelt
upon by Gen. Harrison Qo whom
we would again remind the reader
Of our marked resemblance art NOR
ming prayers, and it will be passed
upon as soon as some gentleman is
found who will become secretary of
state. 1t has ever been the ideal Of
our most fantastic dreams that we
might some day gain the enviable
and pay-as-you-go height Of post
master at Richland. Then we could
marry the girl who dabbles with
our affections and occupy a brown
stone in Widows Boulevard. Gin
coin, you'll remember, sat on a
brown stone with the peoples mail
in his hat.) This only shows what
a poor boy in America "a attain
for rather would we be ostm aeter
at this Arcadian village than the
dead lover Of Rider Haggard's sub
lime, immortal "She." We presume
Jul rivals would, too; we would adj
wise them not to lose their grip on
the saw buck for a few days yet,
howbeitsoever.
But we are wandering away from
our correspondents. The only ex-
cuse we car offer is that this postof-
fee business has sriled' us a little
since we received our friend Harri-
sons four page postal, and will be a
little restless, by the way, till after
the fourth OF March, then we will be
quite robust. We will endeavor to
answer High School Girls" musk
inhamed billet next week, and send
a specific to the gentleman who
writes that he is love sick and the
doctors a do nothing for him, nor
can his "lame.u Atoms.
