More than one of my readers will, on opening their paper to-night, Qglance down my column to see what I will of­ fer in reply to John Bell's (?) letter of last week. I have uotbing to say, abso­ lutely nothing. I refuse to discuss the subject. It is a matter ef total Indiff­ erence to me, as those who claim the social insult know what the facts of^the case were, and I am quite certain that no amount of persuasion on the part of Mr. Bell or his friend who helped him out with his communication last week, will enable me to believe that he was in the least justified in taking the course he did. And he but mad* mat­ ters worse by an attempt M»n expla­ nation.

A friend Of miue once asked me If I oyer lost any friends by ray frequently unguarded, outspoken manner of writing my com­ munications. 1 answered emphatically "Yes," but the person who becomes my enemy from such cause is one who suivers to be told of a fault and un­ worthy to be called a friend. They leave no fold. Friendship's list seems purer, fairer, with such names erased. I wonder who has lived and had not one enemy. Few, I believe aside from those who have no true frionds.
