Nh. EDrroR:
It is with exceeding reluctance that Ii drag
this quotation down into the 18th century and
force 1t before the pubIic-s quotation that
was written many decades ago in q descrip-
ton Of the tunes during the dark sees-but
il is an absolute necessity as starting point
in the portrayal Of the character of the most
brilliant journalist (2) in Northwestern,
Ohio. Brilliant? Well, yes, for so he him.
self hath said and the unailoyed truth is al
ways his. Although it is not commendable
for anyone TO harass up an individuals SEN
sitiyeness, still a precept in the good book ia
"An eye for an eye and tooth for q tooth" !"
hence as few molars we're extracted and
divers fair optics gouged out by the last is
sue of an apology for a newspaper, with .
toad as editor, to give movement and direc-
ton to the stnpendous enterprise in Napo-
leon, have no scruples Of conscience,
but instead, feel myself indicated in
the beginning, for writing nude truths.
As representative of the weaker sex I shall
endeavor to procure our just dues, viz: ian
eye snd TOOTH" though make haste to
state that We are not searching after them as
keepsakes .........
For years queer species of the genus
homo has made it his business to protrude
his nose into many domestic affairs of other
people and armed cap-a-pie with these mer-
ciless weapons, "spewed them out of his
filthy NAV" with variations whenever the
equanimity of his temper was rufied.
This creature in boyhood established
prestige for making his unfortunate CON-
panions miserable by frequent narration
In detail of their defects. Like relentless
Indian it was his delight to stab the most
sensitive and then gaze upon his victim with
a fendish happiness bordering upon Intoxi-
cation. sour, disappointed misanthrope,
another's sadness and afhiction are soothing
to his eyes-eyes that are Injured to viewin g
every human act for good with cynicism.
Living as he has period of thirty years in
the community, very few have escaped his
coarse animadyersion. Could they who have
been objects of his vile wit and foul tongue
in one spot and tell of their unhap-
piness, it would be the unfolding of tale
fit to harrow up his soul and coagulate the
blood that courses only too smoothly throu gh
his veins.
Especially has his inordinate dislike been
directed towards the gentler sex. Some
years ago this manifested itself when he
attempted to write up several social affairs,
none of which he attended. As natural Sc
Quence the would-be reports we're but willful
But it answered his
purpose, and burlesques, laborously prepared
by him, supplanted true reports. Many were
the sedate young lady and modest young
man who was the butt of some rude joke
from his debased brain. This
by the plaudits of his kind, he
ventured into an undertaking trife more
hazardous. Selecting number of young
ladies, who had incurred his hatred by re-
fusinHto be awed by the mighty man in small
town-Prince Bismark-he incorporated
their names in spurious article. The writ
ing was minus plot and all other rhetorical
points. Gathering all the meaness stored in
his head he sifted it down to areadab lie form,
bringing in everything which he knew would
wound the feelings of the young ladies in
question. No recourse was theirs save to
endure his ieering, exultant
manner. It has been his boast that every
one of these ladies at present discomode
themselves to court him and cater to his will,
IS they ''fear another blast" Thus this up
start wieldeth the sceptre and holdeth the
sword dangling over their fair necks- ON
aipotent man! sr
Sometime since younger set of girls gave
l masquerade and the Prince failed to re-
,eive their compliments. Vowing vengeance
Tor this afront he hied his anotomy hence to
he study and put into type several squi BIS
fasting reflections on the girls themselves,
heir costumes and their treatment of the
guests. 1t is hardly necessary to brand it
Is .willful lie of the most decayed form 4
The whole affair was grand success -every-
me ia attendance expressing themselves in |
erms highly complimentary to the enter
ainers. |
Instead Of receiving the applause antici- |
,ated, his act is condemned by all intelligent |
people as q unit, to be the verriest piece of |
ittleness ever resorted to by an intellect |
vice removed from monkey. know no |
me but would have treated his failure to re-
,eive an invitation as a Joke and of too trif-
ng consequence to notice.
