ANSWERS TO CONTRIBUTORS.
Perkins — I hav red yure peace, on “Wimmins
Rites,” thru, and thru, and must say that i luv it.
In mi opinyun, wimmin haz a rite to tu dew enny
thing well, but saw wood; sawin wood, ain't their
stile; speshially if the sawbuk iz a high one, it must
mortify them the wust wa.
Harrold. — Yure genus iz not fully born yet,
when it gits awl born, i think yu will be a poeck.
Yu hav got imaginashun enuff tew keep a livery
stable. Yure landguage iz a leetle too florid; did
you ever travel in Florida? Tri agin — I notis
one ov yure lines, haz 10 feet into it, and the nex
one, haz only got 9 feet, six inches. Sum poiks
air born, and sum are manafaktured; the manafaktured
ones, are the moste stiddyest, tha aint so ap
tew hanker after mint juleps. Yu ought to go up
garrett when yu praktis, moste awl good poeckry
haz bin rit up garrett.
Hard Road.—Yure essa has sum good hits intu it,
but iz not jis the thing for a religus nuzepaper, like
ours; send it tu “Wilkes Spirit,” a paper that
knows how tu talk hoss. I will merely suggess,
that pedigree iz not important for a fast trotting
hoss; if he kan trot fast, never minde the pedigree.
Thare iz a grate menny fast men, even, who haint
got no pedigree. Thare aint mutch art in driving a
trotting hoss, jist hold them bak hard, and holler
them ahead hard, thats awl. A hoss will trot the
fastest down hill, espeshila, if the briching brakes.
Kuller is no kriterion. I hav seen awful mean
hosses, ov awl kullers, excep green, i never cee a
mean one ov this kuller. Hosses liv tew an honarabil
old age, and i hav often seen them, that apeared
fully prepared for deth. Heathins are alwus
kind tew hosses; it iz only among christian people,
that a hoss haz tew trot 3 mile heats, in a hot da,
for $25,000 in kounterfit munny.
