rather like Win. Tell, we will not take
oil our hat to such a Goddess. In a late*
a; ticle it was indirectly referred to, ami
the voting ladies did not ruffle up at it at
all, but lather favored our mention with
their good will. One, at least, at the

that we ndght mention, too. that the

Wo are in receipt of a number of epistles of
rare ini ere* 4 . .mi parties claiming 1 o he per
m udiy aggrieved by our article of last week
on “bonsaiionai.” Each says lie or she is sat
isfied the p.eee was written to ridicule him or
her. V. e can only give ji specimen or two of
them. If the cup tils we can’t help it, but we
do av r we intended nothing personal, and so

thorn wo arc* distressed to think wo have even
exposed them to themselves. We insert a few.
to present to t he- public a peculiar phase of
human ratine:
.Mr. Amateur:—l am very sorry you took
* pun mi occasion to berate my “Magnolia
iianis' a-\wn did in your last issue.
It i> true the one you got last was as tough
as “a Tennessee,” and ft little strong; but
you know every one would know you referred
to my meat. You are too personal.
Yours very much hurt,
Skipper A Fly,
Grocers.
Mr. Amateur:— I feel satisfied that, since
your hist ySensationa',” which seemed to me
r was-written Mpi*#fei.lly ttrt injurt* iff, trade in
Western, fancy brands, my customers know 1
have been puttug off some of the old article
on them tinder anew brand.
You seem to have a special spate against;
me.

Mr. Amateur:
Dear Sir—l feel very much mortified to
think that a friend of your cultivation and
i manners would have brought me so publicly
] into notice- you had just as well hadc-alled
m\ name. ! renfenihei' die time well wlieu
you mus: have seen me. 3 thought il would
look so cunning to throw my hands back and
I seem to fix a little and then fiirf my dress one
lor two taking little twists. A lady should
never be f reed into notice in the public prints
j as me* lemoniously as you presented me,
handling my pin-back as you did. It was
bad enough for me to have had hold of it, but
j for you to take hold too. 1 am quite shocked.
Your piece on '■•Sensation” has made me so
conscious that I lotye let it out. and everv
> Mh - h# ~i‘ —- ■■ “i"ip' y"~ ■ *
body knows you wrote it to take "me off. 1
and'tho‘vly” must now share this mortifying
ifi r‘' Y.
Yours in a pet,
1 Jessy Pin-back.
Another letter is from the ‘Tiger’s Den”
signed ‘-Loyal Bengal.” lie thinks the piece
was a special hit at Faro.
An ilher is from “Rev. Bubbleton (dish,”
pastor of “Self Satisfaction Church.” who
thinks it all meant lor his pulpit oratory.
Another two or Jthroo are from boys, whose
fathers had stormed out a llireat. to use the
hickory on them, but had not, saying we had
alluded to their parent in an unhandsome
way.
One even from an Apple Packer in m
necticnt, says he knows the piece on *• onsa
| tionai” was only written to get at him. lie
does not think packing the little apples at
the bottom as had as “burning witches” and
: “swapping injuns for nigger*.” But, we can
, go no deeper into his letter, as it is marked
••private and confidential.” We know how
1 to buy apples now, alter reading his letter.
Another from a (warehouseman. Short* 1 St a
: pie w. I ick. as if we had our heads on nny
■ body ii.„ particular.
There are one or two others on our table
from young ladies, we know, from the per
lumed and delicate, timid hand-writing, which
we have not opened, we hope they are not
on the same subject, but are full of tender
rhymes.
Our great, big. red-headed fellow, Fletcher,
No. 2, has called on us to retract what he
says we said in the “Sensational” about his
duck of a cousin, who is attending wind-llorn
University, amt has unsuipa-sed expectation
of being successful wrangler for the best
prose plagiarism at next commencement.
