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.

ME AMVMttM 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. Discontentedly. Weevil. Must A. < Y., Flour 1 >ealcrs. 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.
