He Is the only person living so far as known, who is claimed to have successfully imitated Josh Billings and Nasby, which alone should draw out a large audience. The charge for ad­ mission is only 10 cents--condescension to the panic--and Is pronounced by one who has heard the entertainment to be only one-third what it ia worth. _ jSpiTOB Ann Rlisa •pike to a erJplk* Mse. and It re- ported te Itav« #ii6rt*!*4d the curious upon the aubjeft of the "Twin relic."

Grandma looked wonderfully surprised and woudcredwhat it all muant, say- lug, "how came it to happen so you all jime together f After a while she looked worried and said, Myou kuow I am hoarding and do not have charge of any work,"'so to relieve lior uiind of too much ankle ty for one of her years, two of ttie ladies sli pped noiselessly into the diuiogVootn and spread a table filled with atykinds of delieades and then invited her to tea.

It is a standing wonder to us. as to all others, how so superior a magazine can be pub­ lished at so low a price; and it Is only to bo explained, as the publisher ex. plains It, as a consequence of an enor­ mous circulation.

It Is a matter of surprise that the Democrat and the Aenifoif should lend their columns to such aa attack, even though the "local correspondent" must neces­ sarily be the scape goat to bear the blame.

It Is not Justifiable to oatt a man a liar unless he Is, but if he Is, Is It no- gentlemanlyto note the factst The first sentence In the above quotation Is strictly untrue, as the records of the school, to which any one who deslroe the troth can Iwoe^access, wlH show.-- Slnoe its organisation Just three schol­ ars have left the school, two of whom were wxpelled for Insubordination, with the advloe and foil sanction of tho High School Board, nod the other one loft through the Inincace of the Democrat and Sentinel articles and for certain reasons whieh. if known would reflect honor upon the head of the Principal. Whooan read what follows the first sentence above quoted and not /eel sor­ ry at the spirit which evidently die tated it?
