1t Is melancholy duty to record the coll
lapse OF the poetic backbone, so to speak, OF
Young Editor MANNING OF tho Albany Argus.
The malicious attacks which the Albany
Evening Journal tho Albany Erpress, and
other newspapers have made on his immor-
tai poem in honor Of the Ar0us's dulness
have resulted, as we now announce with
pain and indignation, in further and fatal
alterations of the text Of his masterpiece.
Nothing but young Mr.. MANN1Na's own
weakness can explain the surrender. he
stood on poetic Gibraltar, and as long as
he stood there he had the support and ap-
prevail Of THE SUM- Now see what the poor
young snipe has donel
Here Is the celebrated quartrain In its
original form, as conceived by young Mayor
MANNINa's genius:
"Tho Argus II thing OF beauty,
And 10y forever we'll;
'Tis really q quite solemn duty
To read IL Whore'er you dwell"
At our suggestion, and for the sake OF a
slight gain in melody and grammatical &C
curacy, the author modified the third line
80 as to read:
s'Tis really quite q solemn duty"
Thus the poem in honor Of the Arguss dull
ness stood proudly at the head OF that In
comparably dull journal until few days
ago. when we observed with apprehension
sign OF wayering on young Mr.. MANNING's
part. BY an unfortunate and unnecessary
Transportation Of words, the second line was
now made to read:
And forever Joy as well"
Still, the principal beauties Of the poem
a. ttaI nc
contained In the third line. stood as before
up to Thursday. July II. But the unimpor-
tant change In the second line was like the
ominous stream tricklng through the first
break in levee or a dam. On Friday, July
49, the entire masterpiece went to pieces. and
here Is the wreck and ruin:
"The Argus is gem Of beauty,
Whose splendor words cannot tell;
It's pleasure and 4 duty
To read II Whero'e you dwell"
We have no heart to point out the glazing
defects of this deplorable substitute for
perfect poem. We need not say that the
Argus is thing, as first stated, not gem.
A gem is bright; the Argus Is quintessen-
TALLY dull. The new poem is not true. 1t
is q duty, solemn duty. for the Inhabitants
OF Albany to read the n gus In whatever
quarter Of the town they dwell, but 1t is not
and cannot under any circumstances be
pleasure for any human being to peruse
young Mayor MANNINas newspaper. The
Argus Is famous In every part Of the land
because 1t is the dullest newspaper printed
on earth, not because it contains agreeable
or edifying literature, The new poem Is Q
lie, false In prosody, false to the truth. high
" ridiculous as work of art, and interest
ing only as further evidence Of the incredi-
Bile dulness which fails to recognize even its
own masterpieces.
The Albany enemies Of young Mayor
MANNNGs fame have accomplished their
purpose, but The SUN Is not to blanc for
his miserable weakness and suicidal folly.

a NEW INDUSTRY
John Bath Introduces LignteH-
ing Bugs Among His Bees.

I
Not leng ago the Austria liar
! lightning bug was introduced in
Southern California to destroy the
scale bug, so detrimental to orange
trees. The importation is the
worst enemy o. the scale and oper-
ates at night, fitting through the
groves like Willew-the Wisps.
This bug, as night worker, APP
peared to attract the attention OF
John Bath, the methodic2l old
rancher who has number of hives.
He conceived the idea of breeding
them with his bees and profting
by the result. He Immediately
sent below for hundred or so and
placed them in his hives. The
bees seemed to regard them as par
ticular friends as we'll as lightning
strikers.
la due time half breed, or
cross between tightening bug and
bee appeared, which John I'M
mediately correlled and he kept on
correlling until he had secured a
sufficient number of half breeds to
launch forth on his scheme. No
one seemed to know what John
was up to until he took his new
hive out in the garden one night
and opening it up, he lit his pipe
and sat down to wait the result.
All night long there was buzzing
and flashing going on in the yard
which only lessened toward morn
ing as the honey makers retired to
the hive.
This junc;ure was the browning
period of Johns existance and he
slyly peeped Within. Anyone who
could have heard John when he
let out q wboop would have taken
him for 3 crazy man. His expec-
tatiens had been realized and the !
half breeds had been making honey
all night long.
This thing had been going on all !
Summer and any furtner inferma-
ton will be gladly given by John
Bath.

The Sale of Stamps wnsn't Stopped BY the

Quite number of indignant citizens
stood around the general delivery window
OF the Pittsburg Postofice yesterday after
noon and fumed because they could not
purchase stamps or postal cards. 1t is not
often that Uncle Sam pulls in his horns
and ceases to defy the minions of the Law

appeared yesterday. The clerk at the win
dow, it was stated. said to one disguised
gentleman that the Office was trying an ex-
pertinent, and would quit selling stamps on
Sunday. This caused howl from the peo-
pie who only write letters on Sunday.
Inquiry developed the fact that an expert
ment ST selling stamps at the general dellV-
cry window, instead of regular stamp win
dow, was being tried, and Yesterday the
clerk was given S26 worth OF tongue-gum to
sell. He sold his stock before the a iternoon
had waned, and could not get another sup
ply until 1890 last night. 1t is probable
that the people who got stuck yesterday Will
have a supply on hand on Sunday hereafter,
although the oversight, or rather under
sight, will scarcely occur again.

"Come in here, John Henry" yelled a
big, red-faced woman yesterday in dulcet
tones to her little son, who was having a
scrap with James Peter over the garden

scratching each others faces in female
fashion.
"Come in here" continued the irate
mother "You are the worst boy in all
creation. I'll warm you for your cussed-
ness"
Just then the nose of Farmer Hayman's
horse peered over the fence, and the calm,
dignifed visage of the old granger ap-
peared.
"You are right, lady," he said. 81 just
heard you say you had a bad boy. You
are"
But he got no further in his commenda-
tory remarks. The change that came over
that woman s face would do credit to the
work of the best variety actor. Fury darted
from her eyes. Get out, you old terrapin,
