"You can have q chance for three dol
lars, Mr.. Zeke."
"Zactly. Wal, now, there's yer
three dollars, and meow here's what goes
for the hull lot"
Zekc divested himself of his coat,
rolled up his shirt-sleeves, and, giving a
powerful leap, grasped the pole about
ten feet from the ground. A single &C.
cond-no lopger-he staid there, and
then slipped back on terra 6rma. Zeke
looked at his hands, and then down up
on his striped trousers. Then he look
ed at his hands again; and raising them
up sgain to his nose, while a deep, long
smell seemed to set ~his..doubts and quer-
les at rest, he uttered
Tho deucei Hogs fat, by thunderl"
A broad laugh from the crowd soon
brought Zeke to his senses, and con.
vinced him hat he had been sold. But
ere he could find his tongue again an old
salt, about "three sheets in the wind )"
paid for his chance and essayed to climb
the pole. The sailor Rugged half way up
and then he slid. The crowd laughed
again, but this time their attention was
turned from Zeke to the new aspirant,
and, after waiting a momen in a sort OF
I" brown study" our hero quietly slip
ped away, remarking to the red-nosed
man, "he was goin' to git three dollars
more he'd be darned eff he didn't try it

In an hour Zeke was again upon the
ground.

man who took the entrance money. Il

Got nothing in your stockings p
suggested the red-nosed man.
"Nothin' but my feet" returned
Zeke, as he planted thirteen inches of
desh and bone into the lap of the querist.
Zeke PAID his three dollars, and mi
nus coat, vest and "shews ;" he grasped
the polo. Slowly, yet steadily, he crept
up from the ground. He Rugged like a
blood-sucker tothe creased pole, and by
degrees he neared the top. His hand
was within a foot of the bag of dollars,
and he stopped to get his breath. One
more lift, and then another, aud the
prize was within his grasp. Zeke slid TO
the earth with two hundred dollars.

Zeke left the crowd in wonder, and
made the best of his way to the stable.
He shut the door of the shed, and then

The steamship Africa, from Liverpool 9th
arrived at New York on the morning of Aug

and mail communication by the storm east
we have been without her advices until this

left for the U. S. with special powert to settle
the Central American question. M
The difficulty between the Allies and Rus

news. .e--,.
1t is alleged that Russia has violated the
treaty of Paris by the occupation of the Isle
of Serpents at the mouth of the Danube and
the non delivery of Kars.
In consequence of this misunderstanding,
the English feet remaining in the East has
agaid been ordered to the Black Sea.
There is nothing of importance from
Spain. t4 tiEf
1t is rumored that there are dissentions in
the O'Donell Cabinet, but no positive infor-

From Italy we learn that the municipal
council of Ravenna, along with others, have
voted addresses to the Pope praying him to
remove the Austrian occupation. sis =.
The commercial advices arc rather impor-
tant. The fine harvest weather throughout
Great Britain created quite panic among
the holders of grain and flour in London and
Liverpool; though We had advices of the
heaviest fall of the week by the Baltic, at
the close the tendency was to steady mar

on heavier grades. Et{olIE 81

In High Glee.

The Pioneer boys are in high feather over
the passage of the Army Bill in the House
bill which gives the President "powder
and lead" from the public funds to hand
over to Dave Atchison, in order that he may
drive out and murder the Free State settlers,
and rob their wives and daughters of their
jewelry and table silver ware. This report
about the Republicans of the House "caving"
is not true, as we find by the vote there
were 90 good Republicans on hand to vote
for retaining the proviso. From 80 to 95
has been about the true Republican strength
Of the House from the start. Whenever
more votes were required to carry meas
ure, they have been supplied by the North
Americans and by liberal Free Soil Demo
crats-Hickman and Barclay for instance.
We do not feel so bad as the orphans y
may imagine over the passage of the Army
Bill without the proviso; particularly since
Gov. Robinson and his comrades have been
