Well, well After all our judg
ment of the state of mind of the broth
er below was correct and such al
indulgence" as his latest production
might be expected from school boy
in knee breeches We were surprised
at such an exhibition of smart Alick
ism,'' but when we learned of thu
chair switch factory episode surpris
was turned into genuine pity for thu
poor unfortunate Even his owl
neighbors condemn his methods a
smart roasts' which he exaggerat
ingly and distastefully presents W
admire repartee when within tn,
bounds of propriety, but personalitie
pictured and painted in such brigh
colors are not conducive to good man
ners. The neighbours digestion
may be good but it is plainly evident
too, that that chair SWITCH is play
ing havoc with his journalistic ideas
Shun it, turn from it, pass it by.
