gs Old Hiram is with u.s. You don't know
Hiram, and can not understand the mischief he
makes by everlastingly putting in his word
when somebody would be better pleased if the
half-drunk, balf-witted fellow would keep his
mouth shut
Dick Runnels was running for Congress,
Though lincal descendant from an old and
noted tory family, Dick is great at patr1ot-
'-Ing and all the moro because he has nothing
to brag of in that line. One day, in the height
OF an electloneering appeal, he demands
Whose brows were blarkened by the powder
smoke on Bunker Hill? Whose breasts braved
the hail storm ,here?'
None of your folks, you blamed old tory.
you w roared out Old Hiram, and the laugh that
broke in broke down the orator, and he retired
after few more incoherent observations But
he was to speak again in a few days, and taking
old Hiram into his confidence and treating him
literally to brandy and water, he made a bar
gain with Hiram not TO interrupt him again
promising him as much brandy as lie could drink
at the close Of the meeting if he kept quiet
Runnels went on swimmingy. His patriotism
rose with the tide Of his eloquence, and at
length he exclaimed We cherish the useless
musket and rusted sabre of our forefathers as
holy things.
"Runnels, Runnclsr' shouted old Hiram; II
can't hold in. I'll pay for the brandy mys Elf
but can, hold in. Them muskets and sabres
ID too much for old Hiram - and the maddened
roar of merriment that went up drowned old
Hiram and Runnels together.

and the captain was about picking out a soft
place for his lance, when the whale milled short
round, and raising one corner Of his fiukes laid
IL gently on the boats gunwale, and tipped her
over, Keel up. as politely as a lady would turn
her hand In bidding adieu. But quickly as a
nash the nukes flew to the other side, cut an-
otner boat clean In two and broke the third
mate leg. Here was a pretty mess: twelve
sinners overheard in bloody water surrounded
oy sharks, and at the same time liable to be
smashed in pieces by the whale iukes; but
the venerable patriarch, apparently satisfied
with what he had done, left as to the care of the
sharks: and padded away with two irons and a
boat line.
To right our boat was the work of few min
utes, and In half an hour she was an ark of
safety with all hands on board The whale
made towards the ship, ran round and round O.
lew times, and then turned up fin out and head
sunwards He made 90 barrels of oil.
The mate and second mate, unable to capture
the other whale, returned to the ship; but that
same afternoon the parsOn saw him, or another
fellow like him, and had the pleasure of fasten-
ing him also. The three whales made 270 bar
rels of oil. 1888. e.
In six weeks the Parson saw and struck four
large and twelve school whales, and never
missed one. This uniform success induced the
captain to give him charge of the third mates 3
boat, In which he killed some half dozen whales
when he had three of his ribs stove in, and was
sent ashore ut Guam, to procure medical at
tendance, and remained there six months.
Whaling is not unlike war-every lowering is
battle in which all are liable to lose their lives
But the whaler requires more skill and courage
than the soldier or man-of- war 8 man. lie must
think and act at the same time-there are no
given rules by which he can govern himself, for
every whale he attacks is apt to show some new
caper, against which he must provide on the
instant. Our whalemcn, with little martial
training, would make the most formidable sail
ors in the world, as they are certainly the most
intelligent and daring

A CAUSE sUGGEsTED.-A correspon-
dent Of the Washington Star suggest a
possible cause for the strange epidemic
at the National Hotel in Washington, by
relating the following occurrence.
Some thirty years since a like cir
cunstances happened on the st. Crox
river in Calais, Maine. After fruitless
efforts 10 discover the cause, it was acci-
dentally ascertained that the sugar used
contained one ounce Of arsenic to eight
pounds of sugar, in consequence of the
sigar bavIng been handled or strained
through leaden strainers. The symp.
toms were cramp collie, spasms and nau-
sea.
May not the National Hotel sickness
have thus originated?
