All persons who have oompassion lor suf­
fering humanity are respectfully invited to
call and gaze on the real and only representa­
tion^ patience sitting on a whisky barrel
waiting for a treat, as daily presented by an
indolent individual whose sole ambition soars
no higher than decorating whisky barrels
wftb his person. From his elevated position
he watches the coming of the thirsty and is
always ready to take advantage of tbe ever
welcome invitation, come up Charley and
take something.
We are very thankful to our esteemed
friend Dash for his responding echo to our
bark of the 6th. If we barked up the wrong
tree it is very eyident that we touched a ten­
der spot in tne bosom of hypocritical Dasb.
We did not harbor tbe least suspicion that
Dash possessed a selfish, sensitive nature
and we were surprised to learn that the
information and pointers given him were
considered "insultingly personal" instead of
mere acts of courtesy. The language be used
in trying to ridicule Adams was certainly not
such as to indicate that we were in contro­
versy with a gentleman.' If Dash has the ab­
horrence for good whisky bis conundrums
imply, he should seek the society of more
congenial spirits and not waste away his life
living in a place where the atmosphere is over
polluted with the obnoxious odor of diluted
alcohol. Do not discontinue noticing our at­
tempts Dash as we will be pleased to hear
from you quite often and if the condescension
would not be too great on your part please
curtail your quotations and give us more of
tbe original.
