W hatcheer ¥ Anything new this morning? GARD--Well, Emery, is that you? Give me a shake of your lionest fi*t; everything is all right;coui<* in and sit yourself down and we will have a little talk. EMERY--(Looking over the PLAIN- DEALER with a serious a|r). I wouder what that dirty dog. Van S'yke, has to say about me tills week? 1 am afraid, as I have otten told you, that this ma­ iling for a third term is bad business, and tiie more I think of it the more it troubles trie. GAUI>--(Settling back in his chair and putting his feet upon 4he table). Why so? To hear you talk this morn* Ing one would think yeu were getting weak-kneed. Such twaddle as Van gets off is utterly unwoithy of notice. I am ill favor of treating his productions with dignified silence.' ' We can fix things in the cauCnsses and go through all right. Just keep quiet aud leave it to me, EMERY--My Dear Gard, I speak only in your ear. If I ever express any fearfe It is between you and me alone, but that impudent, hardened wretch who edits this paper (holding a PLAIN- DEALER in his hand) keeps me irf aeon* stant torment by his everlasting cant about "third term"' and the headway- Morse is making in tiie canvass. He seems to have the art of turning every tiling against me, and you sit here like a "bump on a log." It I was nu editor of a paper and couldn't do better than j*ou do I'd sell out. GARD--(Trying to whistl« a tune to himself). Now, Emery, you have a chance to write all you want to, but as ff>r me, I cannot say anything against Morse ; he is popular and you V:now it. Everybody is his friend in that part of tiie county where he is known. A good citizen, an honest man and a patriotic soldier. All these qualities will make him deservedly popular and it would never do to attack him in „the Sentinel and how can I defend yon in any other way than I have. You have held the office eight long years; you have built two new houses, bought a block in town, got fast horses, and plenty of money out at interest. You have a lucrative, permanent business besides that pays you a handsome dividend; you haye become well oft by holding the office eight years. Morse is poor, lie spent almost half of eight years flighting with a groat and victorious army for the preservation of this gov* eminent. He was reduced to within one jfaspof death in Andwrsonviile, and only brought hack to lifo after lie had wished"and tried to die. It is hard work. Emery, to oppose such a man tor office. The people owe such a man a d<'ht. and when for the- Hr*t time be presents himself for the siitlrages of tlie people how caw they refuse to sup­ port him? The only thing is to claim that | |«hody can do tiie work like you, itnd to look out for the t)ut|cu>>. EMfc.liV.r-Pardon me, Gard, I know you are right; there is no friend in the world with whom I am so desirous of ii>alntaininr*a good understanding, as with yourself. I leave the matter in your Hands. Good men can never re­ tire from their works of benevolenco, and I shall depend upon y<*ii to keep me in office, though I did expect you would refute and answer the6e attacks In the PLAINDKALKR about the thii-d term. I am afraid thero will trouble grow out of it that you will be unable to copo against. You iiro « rigorous and spirited writer, and it does seem to me that you might answer Van Siyke. GARI>--Emery, you forget that the Sentinel Is a high tnor^l and intellec­ tual sheet. Something like a sabbath school superintendent, absolutely per­ fect. How can the Sentinel meet tho third term argument, when you know as well us I, that when, four years ago, that question was in controversy, it appeared to you to be a most hideous •nd frightful thing, and that your tin; del-standing, conscielice and heart approved of the verdict of the people (For full particulars see posters. / to abolish the third term principle, BY OKDKKQFCOMMITTKE./ ^ ̂ ^ by Independence Party.

Soper and wife, rusticated at Geneva Lake last Sunday.- The pulpit of the Baptist church was tilled by Itev. Swerns last Sunday evening. Diphtheria seems to be subsltltng iu this community once more. There are no more new cases, ami all who have had It and recovered, are doing nicely. O,. Rosebud with the trusting eyes, List to the words of one less, wise. What's the matter with Flossie? The Woodstock Sentinel's correspon­ dent from Richmond sat down oi\ us last week, in a fashion whipli shows she is irritated, needlessly so \ye think, in view of anything we can recall to mind as a provocation. However, doubtless she knows what, she is after and how to obtain it. B* it to. we :p-e resigned, She »avs we told a "confiden­ tial friend" thus and so. It may ba we did, and it may be that's a case of misplaced confidence. We hopp io become wiser by experience, though we dislike to distrust a friend. Slu reminds us of our inefficiency as a scribe. Very well, there can be no objection to that. Still, we expect to improve, having so brilliant an example as our fair fi lend to imitate. Site in timates thatVve do not know her. We supposed we did, *and still hope we were correct iu tlie favorable opinion we always entertainod of her amiable qnalit ies. She scornlully repells our ptoflered assistance. But why distill so much venom when there is no wor­ thy object to sling? That is what bothers us. She says, "If we did not pity you (us i. e. Billy.) for being so easily taken In, we wquid come to your rescue.' ' Kather singular reason­ ing this. Why If Flossie really does pitv us, that is the very reason she should assist us. You are much too irate my dear friend, to see clearly, or reason logically,w Taken in! Ah. that looks' ominous. And she won't come to our rescue until the Rubicon is passed--that she maj' laugh at our simplicity. "Oh for ft lodge in some vast wilderness.
