Show That little statement that the dispatch dis-patch in question "was the work of his clerk" U slightly huge. It would be plea-ant to make the acquaintance of J that "clerk." By the by, will some-, body inlorui u if Mr. Gould ever had a clerk while here other than his son, ! who was also hid partner? Or, has' the young gentleman ever had a per-1 sonal dltlieulty with superintendent Sickles aud inspired that "clerk?" Wo can't imagine that ho had. He is too pleasant and entirely good natured to have a difficulty with anybody. The point is interesting; of course it is; there may be px-ses iu the future hanginjc on its proper sulution. Is that "clerk" still sending telegrams dictated by the spleen resulting l'rom personal difficulties, and does lie keep I a curb-stone front offiec, open at all I hours? Or Is the "clerk" tho Hena-j tional correspondent of tho N. Y. II,, 1 "a doing of the grand" for tho assoc.-1 a ted press and the great advertising! paper at the same time? And Anally, wasn't Mr. Gould his own "clerk" at the time? He was here attending to his ! business, sending press telegrams included. in-cluded. A clerk or this kind "is handy to have about the house," as Mrs. Toodles would say. Get a clerk; keep a clerk; and let him have broad shoulders, even if they be only mythical myth-ical ones, to bear the burden of your transgressions. |
