Letter from New Hope.

NEW Herr, Tenni March p, 1892.
EDITORS BULLETIN:
Eternal Hopel when yonder spheres sublime
Is Pealed their FIRST notes TO sound the march OF
Thy Joyous youth began, but not to fade
When,alI the sister planets are deeayed-
noticed in Last weeks BULLETIN an article
written by some one who signed him or herself
"Forlo. n Hope" Now who this young Ameri-
can is haven't the faintest idea, but to some of
US the name is rather suggestive and with little
contemplation one could easily assign him to his
true species of homo genius and we nave arrived
at the conclusion that his non de plunls Is what
might properly be called lapsus lingdle since 1
can't reconcile it to my conscience how one could
intentionally explain the state of his laind. OF
course this is mere conjecture On my pa1f; suttce
to say that through complication OF causes and
effects too numerous 10 be mentioned We deem
the said ''Forlorn Hope" unfit mentally founder
take to write another article this week and desr-
ing to be accom- mOdating to our fellow man T.
take pleasure in writing IN his stead. anu also
announce to the many readers of his brajny
article that we do not think his cond1tt0n alarm
ing and that with kind and tender treatment st
the hands of his nursel2) viii be, we hope less
forlOrn / cart wonder that Hope is forl0rn,
that IS if he gets badly LETT on all other ques
tons as he did on his announcement thai spring
had arrived Now, don't like to doubt Hopes
veracity at ALL anG it may be that spring started
and 1ha. LOPEZ doubt, met him on the road,
else he .-caId never have made the assertion;
therefore | am very solicitious concerning his
welfare for it seems inevitable that there has
been foul play somewhere He has had time
since the 18th to arrive. 1t seems clear to my
mind that he now lies sleeping In martyrs
tom b. At any rate think it advisable that a
search be instituted and that Hope be appointed
chairman of an Investigating committee to work
up the case and draft resolutions to be submitted
for publica ton, to find proper resting place
worthy of his noble remains and to circulate a
paper soliciting subscriptions to erect suitable
monument to his memory.
