Colonels, put me off of its staff, because
l wrote something poking fun at old
Talmage, and il fired Captain Woodruff,
the best Democi tic editor that ever was
in Lexington, because he printed some
thing that l wrote making fun of the
preachers, though l never said anything
against God, or Jesus Christ or the Holy
Ghost, or the Virgin Mary, or St. Patrick,
or the Devil, or the angels, witches, or
any of those Bible characters; but here
lately, on Sunday evening, in Lexing-

can deliver an atheistic lecture, and have
the biggest newspaper in Lexington to
say that was applauded from beginning

say that the sun don't move.
When McGarvey goes to Nicholasville

capable of all and even more than have
said against them for really did not
know. until the reverend gentlems n
lately did this, that there was white
preacher in Lexington who would actual
ly preach a sermon taking the position
that that famous fish story now the but
of a thousand newspaper jokes, was
actually and literally true.
| did not expect anybody but the most
advanced class of preachers to repudiats,
straight out, the Jonah fish story, but
was surprised, and pleasantly surprised
because it furnishes ME justification to
blast tie church, as ! want to do, because
it has outraged my rights and those of
other men-when Rev. President McGar-
vey of Kentucky University, man occu-
pying the highest theological position in
Kentucky recently preached sermon
defending the story of Jonah and the
whale.
Inhdels have much to encourage them.
When we can get the leading Christians
of Lexington and the saloon keepers all
working together, and cooling and billing
each other like doves, and get the preach
ers all to preaching about Noah and the
ark, and Jonah and the whale, and the
tower of Bable, and Balaam's ass, and
Ewes snake, and Samson's jaw bone, and
lice all over Egypt as thick as the dust
and pile of patridges sixty miles across
and foot and half deep, and all OF
those fresh and highly moralizing Bible
Sunday School stories, if We inhdels will
just stand by our guns, and support oul
editors and orators and authors, it will
be only question of short time, when
we will down the church. and the preach
ers, if we live honest and moral lives.

Want to Go Lecturing With Miss

l do not know the address of Miss

who does know it to mark this piece and
send the BLADE to her, and then l want
Miss Pollard to write me an answer, Just
as soon as she can.
l want her and me to make a lectur-
ing team. l have thought of it before,
and Mr.. John NJ. Greenway, good Pres
and dealer in drugs and books, il. this
city, suggested it to me and saydNhat
Miss Pollard and l would draw like
Alcock's Porous plaster; and l believe
we would; for l know l am a boss lee
turer, and l know her and have had
good long talk with her, and she has
more sense than Billy Breckinridge and
his man Friday, Ben Butterworth, and
and Charley Stoll, and little Johnnie
Shelby, all put together, and she cleaned
out the whole gang and did not lie once,
like all of them did.
Her brother came to see me when
those Paris devils had ME in Jail, and he
was good friend to me going to the
Worlds fair at Chicago, and like him,

heart for her.

but believe she was deceived by the

greatly admire the womanly course
she has pursued since her great error, in
trying to make reparation for the harm
she has done, but she can use her own
sad experience as a means of great good
to others.
There is no subject now that is being
SO much discussed as the sexual relation,
and the famous Pollard d-Breckinridge
trial was the occasion of the discussion
of the subject which many intelligent
people had long thought ought to be
thoroughly-ventiliated.

crowded houses, and we would begin
right here in Lexington, and not have
to run away from home to start lectur

The COuries-JOurnai Writes a
Good Prohibition Argument.

Now that Democracy is everlastingly
showed under the Courier. Journal is fix
ing to come into the Prohibition party
and writes real good Prohibition argu-
ment about Mrs. Cleveland breaking
the bottle of Champagne over the prov
of the big ship that she lately christened.
The women of the W. c. 7. U. had pc
titioned Mrs. Cleveland to use bottle
water rather than the conventional bot
tie of wine, but the C-J. makes the very
sensible suggestion that the w. c. 7. U.
ought to encourage the breaking and
pouring, ON the ground or sea, or ship
prov, or anywhere else that would waste
1t, the bottle of wine rather than save it
for somebody to drink.
The CT. is evidently getting on the
right track. Bro. Watterson says, 'FroSii
Prohibition standpoint the pouring
out Of this wine would appear consum-
nation devoutly to be wished"
You are right Brother. Democracy is
dead, and you can't go Republicanism;

PATENTS.
Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for Inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was sc
great as now. The conveniences Of
mankind in the fa%ctoryand Workshop,
the household, on the farm, and in of
t1cial life, require continual %accessions
to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change in
the administration Of government does
not affect the progress Of the Ameri-
can inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to preceive the existing de-
hciences, does not permit the affairs
OF government to deter him from
quickly ~conceiying the remedy to over
come the existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful at
torney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable in
teFests have been lost and destroyed
in innumerable instances by the en-
ployment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, 10
pay" system. Inventors who intrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength Of the patent is never
considered in view Of a quick %endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the fee
then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

eral Manager, SIS f street, N. W.,

lodicals of the country, was instituted
