Excerpt from Spencer's Boston Theatre Dodd. It's of no use. I can't make head or tail Of it. They can't be all right. It's against reason. It's a diabolical and premeditated outrage on common sense. Oh! It's a ter rible thing to be forced to believe that there are beings in human form perambulating this mundane Sphere, with an ink bottle in one hand and a steel pen in the other, doing these things in cold blood. What have I ever done to war-corre spondents, that war-correspondents should take this fiendish delight in deceiving me? (reads) The enemg fled before our advancing troops, without firing a gun. That's well enough. I've not the slightest Objection to any number Of enemies flying any number Of times before any quantity of guns are fired; not a bit of it. If that's their peculiar way Of enjoying themselves, let them enjoy themselves in their peculiar way, 'heaven's N 0! It's not that: it's this. (reads) Our wags fled before the advancing enemg, with out firing a gun. It! It can't be both, you know. It's perfectly distracting. (beads) Jeji Davis is dead. Jefi. Davis alive and well. Jej. Davis positively dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
