It's now for you 10 Judge who has
tranvcstcd upon the truth. To add to
his acrimonious utterances, this wart
on Humanity ethis Carhuncle on de-
cent Journalism, has the Supreme
and unmitigated gzll TO effer some
criticisms and suggestions to this
writer, as if we carsd.a demnition
bow-wsw for his sickly and ''noxieus
opinions. Speaking of our Editorial
ability, he'll kindly remember that it
is not us, but him. that belongs to

versed though and we had recon-

the Drcary Sand Wastes OF tho Great
Sahara Desert; with not even the re-
dscming touches OF the alluring but
vaniChing Mirage. We suppose he
thinks this little gem. which he en-
joys the proud distinction to edit, is
the one thing only lacking to crown
