A correspondent Of the Sonth Jrseynaan,
who signs the name ..Katy-did," and pur-
ports to hail from Woodstown, gets off
half a column or more of labor in the issue
OF this week. aud if VT could get at what
Katie means to say it would no doubt be
interesting. We waded through part of
it with much comfort and consolation and
the part that We didn't read was more en-
joyable to us than that we did. We would
suggest that all such cloudy theorists annex
an explanatory key to their articles, that
those who read them may extract the full
measure of enjoyment and instruction
that they are supposed to contain.
