;AN EDITOR'S TROUBLES. — — ""♦ '■.-.. • ■ It is amazing how people, imajinefthafc an article m the paper refers to themselves. A Western editor, who wrote funny article*, ( iad a henp of trouble on that account. His first yarn had » Mr' Bunting for . its hero* and the clay it appeared Mr Flngg called and ascertained it wasn't a hit afc him. The next story was nbput the Hon Eggleston E.Kff. and the Hon Carrington Carp left word if it o.ccuT ¥ ed Bgnin hef-^rould sue the concern. The. editor tried 1 the name, of Mongrel, and a prominent citizen, who vu ■ not only named Cross, but had a lit ttle Indian blood m his reins, came into the offic* and fcrif d to tuka fjlie editor's scalp. Tb» ♦dilov having had bo much trouble^ det«r-. mined to bo safe the -next ' time, and the jrinn that he describea as falling downstair! into the soap^barrel was named*' Moi-gue.'* That Vuie the unlucky humourist had to fight two men, Messrs Graves and Coffin, who chased him through the main street with pitch-forks and a dog. He did think that no man. would mistak* himself for a ptraon called Cowwnllow, but Mv Oxford did, and et iod m front of the office for three quarter* of an hour, and threw stonea -iiif'o the office ' window, and colled to the hapless editor, to come out and be ground against a tree. The editor did not respond, as he was too busy attehdind to -. two gentleman who thought thevi'wers sligh(e?t m a laughable account of the misfortunes of. a Mr Beast. One was named Lvon and the other Lamb, and the editor .whispered to each that the wrote thtf piec«, and then Lvon aud Lamb laid down together on th« floor and clawed each other's clothes off, and then they got up and threw inkstands nnd did over 75 dol». damage to the place before they w«re taken out. And the editor inserted an advertisement requesting anybody considered the the name of Daguerreotype Q . Watermelon, a slur on him to raspord, ahb a» no one did he now nsed the* name. And people wonder humourists give such odd names to their characters.
