FISH AND FRoG-BULL AGIN CAT.-One
of our veteran creek fishermen, while leis-
urely pursuing his pleasurable, piscato-
rial amusement, short time since, down
by where banks of green fringe the blue
waters which fret and foam over the bos-
ON of stumps and snags at our far-famed
Turk dam-found frog in peculiar pre-
dicament. His croaking majesty had at
tempted the task of swallowing catfish,
and partially succeeded, when the further
approach of the cattle to that bourne from
whence no traveller e'er returns, was ar
rested by the fins outspread OF the vic
tim, which, operating as wedge, pre-
vented the aforesaid frog from further
swallowing the catfish aforesaid. How long
that conflict lasted, or how they fit and
splurged for supremacy is known only to
the participants therein; but the fight in
that old mud hole must have been both
furious and fearful, ere the devourer and
devouree mizzled into each others maws,
and fit and fit until they could fitno long
er. 1t was a drawn battle, for belligerent
during their lives-in death they were not
divided-a lamentable illustration of frog
gish gluttony on the one part and cat
like cunning on the other. We have not
the papers to prove this fshy table, but
as we never catch our fishermen talsify-
ing-you too had better believe it than
hunt proof.

interest many weather. wise as well as
weather-weak in our own locality, to read
that between the years 1907 and 1859, mete-
geological records were made by the late
Professor Cleveland, of Bowdoin College,
and after his death given to the Smithsen-
ian Institute. From them have been ad-
duced the following certain results and
conclusions: On the average of 81 years
of observation the hottest day falls on July
%, or 81 days after the summer solstice,
temperature 67 degrees z. The coldest day
falls on January lS or Is days after the
winter solstice, temperature IS degrees 8
Fahr. The days when the average an
nual temperature is reached are April
20 and October "a. From the obser-
vations of ten years ending in 1918,
the total range of temperature is
very considerable, not less than 132 de-
grees Fahr. The lowest temperature re-
corded is 80 degrees, and the highest 1O2
degrees. The number of storms with thun-
der and lightning recorded during 81 years
is 473, or nearly nine a year. The maxim
um number occurs in the warmest month
in February none occurred. The total
number of togs in 81 years is LBS. July
is the only month in which no frost is re-
corded. Seven earthquakes are recorded
between 1907 and 1859, namely: June 26
1903; November %, 1874; May %, 1917
March z, 1928; July 25, 1928, August ID

CABINET ORGANs.-Mason & Hamlin
have gained great reputation for the ex-
cellence and durability of their workman
ship, and they allow no instrument to go
out of their factory which, through any
defect, would be likely to injure the ''good
report" of them which now everywhere
prevails. They take equal pains with their
small and their large organs. All of them
are warranted, and are perfectly reliable.
The variety and beauty of the effects which
can, be produced with some of the large
instruments are truly surprising, and can
be properly understood and appreciated
only by such intelligent persons as have
heard these organs fully and effectually
displayed Journal.

THE MATCH GAME OF BASE BALL
There was fine attendance on the match
game of base ball between the Capital
Club, of ithis city, and the Mears Club, of
Steubenville, at the Capitals grounds, be-
low the city, yesterday afternoon. A great
deal of interest was manifested in the play
by the bystanders, who loudly cheered any
good stroke of the visitors. The game fin
ished in favor of the Mears, by score of
81 to 40.
We are rather surprised at the result, for
the Steubenville Club are certainly as
poor fielders as we ever saw. Their pitch
ing though is nearly equal to that of the
Nationals. Except that club, we never
saw better pitching than that of the Mears
yesterday. In the field the Capitals are
greatly their superiors. We were not fur
nished with the score, and it was too Jolly
hot yesterday to keep score for ourself

The Surratt Case-The Jury Out 27

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.--The jury, in the
Surratt case has been out twentJ-seven
hours, and there seems to be no prospect of
a final agreement. 1t is rumored that the
jury now stand eleven to one. Judge
Fisher has not been upon the bench to- day.
The crowd goes and comes continually,
and individuals discuss with much energy
the probabilities of a verdict.
Surratt is being tried over again by
spectators. He has not been brought to
the courtroom yet to-day.
Mr.. Bradley. Sr., is engaged in another
part of the court house, but either MI.
Merrick or Mr.. Bradley, Jr., are present to
watch every proceeding. Il.
Mr.. Pierrepont has not been in the court
room since the case went to the jury.

CosTIvENEss or habitual Constipation.
From these Affections arise many of the
ailings of man. -.,--
We hear daily, people complain of head,
ache. nervous debility, ETC.. and generally
the cause of the compalint can be traced to
their constipated habits. A remedy for
the cure of this trouble is what they want.
We recommend DR.. Robaek's Sugar Coated
pills as the best remedy we know of. They
contain no mercury, or other mineral poi
son, and act like charm on the liver and
intestines. Give them trial.

terday has been made public:
1t was agreed that General Sherman and
Colonel Tappan, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, should communicate with the Off

Fort Larned, on the Arkansas river, at full
moon in October.

The Board then adjourned, to meet in
Leayenworth on Monday next, and then
proceed to Omaha, whence they will as

cessible point, to confer with all Indians
| thew can meet, and examine lands for the

General Sherman telegraphed to Gener-
ais Hancock and Augur, in accordance
| with the above, and colonel Iappan sent
| the same instructions to Superiutendents
Murphy, sAtcheson and Denman, of the

| General Sherman also instructs Generals
Hancock and Augur to contine there mill
tary operations, pending the action of the
commissioners, to. protection of routes of
travel and settlements, and to Hancock he
says:j do not invade the country south
of the Arkansas river, except in pursuit OF
parties guilty OF hostile acts. l want the
deliberations of this Com mission to be as
little disturbed by acts of our troops as
possible so that this effort to settle the
Indian question peaceably may have fair
chance of success"
