CORRESPONDENCE

CHURCH AND STAGS.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir, —Your correspondent “ Exempla Sunt Odiosa” makes a most unwarranted attack on me for using certain lines in a 1 comedy topical duet I sing with my wife. Ho says these lines-axe “disgusting” and apt to " bring a blush to any girl’s or woman’s cheek.” Your notice on Tuesday says some very nice thingu, both about myself and my wife, and I am quite sure that had there been anything “disgusting” in the lines sung you would have dealt very faithfully with them and me, and it would have been your duty to do so. The attack is all the more despicable when it is made by a person who hides under a nom-de-plurae, and I wonld like to inform Mm that anyone that would nso the epithet “ disgusting ” in connection with the lines I am singing should have his, head seen to—l would suggest a vacuum, cleaner. Your correspondent says he would like to know what country I come from. Well, I come from Edinburgh, and am therefore a Scotchman. A Scotchman always likes to meet his antagonist face to face; he hates a liar and despises a coward.—T am, etc.,, William Finlay Cukkik (Professionally known as “Mr C.”). July 22. [We do not think that any useful pnr-ao-o would be served by continuing this correspondence further. —Ed. E.S.]
