No DIFFERENCE. 1t is said that Pres
ident Grant had about twenty thousand
dollars on deposit in Jay Cookies bank.
but that on the morning of the failure
tin box was sent from the bank to the
White House Poor Andy johnson
had about sixty thousand dollars Oh de-
posit in tho First National Bank, but
no tin boy was sent to him. The Cou-
rier Jouruat says this illustrates the
difference between President IN esse
and n President IN posse. They occupy
very different stations. They accord
ingly stand in very different relations
with the banks and the bankers. Jay
Cooke entertained the President right
Jolly at his suburban palace day or
two previous to his suspension. Andy
Johnson will hereafter be entertained
in some soup-house where he pays his
little nickel for plate of slops, wipes
his mouth with dirty table cloth and
Ais hands on the back of some New
'Foupdland dog. The only way for
Andy TO feel comfortable is to dream
that little tin box was sent him too
for " there is no difference" says Pas
cal, between cobbler who dreams
all night that he is king and king
who dreams all night that he is a cob
bier"

T Old Deacnn N

" Old Deacon n, having oc-
casion to spend the night at hotel
he was assigned room in which there
were three single beds, two of which
already contained occupants. Soon af-
ter the light was extinguished, man in
one of the other beds began to snore SO
loudly as to prevent the deacon from
falling asleep. The tumult increased
as the night wore away, until it became
absolutely fearful. Some two or three
hours after midnight the snorer turned
himself in bed, and gave a hideous
groan-and became silent. The deacon
had thought the third gentleman asleep
until at this juncture he heard him ex-
claim, '' He's dead! thank heaven, he's
dead!"

MONDAY. Oct. 20.


House met pursuant t. adjournment.
After prayer by the Chaplain (NIr.
Hyland) and the usual order of busi-
ness
Mr.. Van Vleet pres ented a petition
from the citizens of F.alama to amend
the city charter SO to confer certain ad-
ditional powers upon the Mayor and
Common Council, which was referred
to the delegations from Cowlitz and
Wahkiakum counties
Mr.. Hovey introduced q memorial
praying increased mail service on the
Seabeck, Port Gamble and Union City
routes which passed, under a suspension
of the rules.
Mr.. Kuhn introduced memorial
relative to establishin land office at
Port Townsend which also passed.
MIR. Henry introduc ed bill to legal
ize certain acknowled yements of deeds.
Referred.

system for Washingt on Territory, and
Mr.. Cation (Nlr. Henry in the Chair

school system for the Territory of

mittee on Education.

l. w. BuZbee to build wharf at Penn's
Cove was indefinitely postponed.
The Snoqualmie appropriation bill
came up on its second reading.
Mr.. Clymer spoke in favor of the ap-
preparation and claimed that the road
would result in gen eral beneft-and no
more to King than to other counties.

length in favor of the proposition.
MIR. Cation opposed the passage of
the bill on principle. Every man could
claim with equal ,propriety an appropri-
alton from the Territorial Treasury for
public purposes. Session after session
King county had demanded aid for this
purpose. He believed that the funeral
dirge would be sounded of those gen
tlemen who voted for the bill.
A motion to recommit was lost.
Whereupon the bill was placed upon
its final passa sc with the following re-
suit:
dyes: Messrs. Cook, Cline, Crockett
Clymer, Gile, Hartman, Hodgis, Kuhn,
Rodgers and Ward-1O.
Noes: Abbott, Bush, Brazec, Burk,
Bryant, Clark of Clarke, Clark of
Pierce, Eldridge, Gosnell, Henry,
Judson, Lacy, Moore, Ping, Russell,
Van Vleet, Yantis and Mr., Speaker
On motion, House adjourned.

FoRDISG RIVER Where the road
between Merced and Smelling crosses
the Merced River (Cal.), that stream is
about two hundred yards in width, and
even at this season of the year, when
the water is quite low. it looks like a
dangerous and deep stream to cross.
Recently, n patent medicine agent.
travelling on horseback through that
section, came to the river and hesitated
about attempting to ford it, as he saw
the wide expanse of rushing water
There is no bridge anywhere along
there, so after some indccision he con-
cluded to swim his horse across. Spy
ing boy fishing in small punt tied
to the bank, he said:
Hello, bubv
Hello, yourself.
"Can get you to take my clothes
across the river in your boat?
- l rekin You kin, il you've got any
soap"
IAN right; / II give quarter to take
my clothes and this carpet-bag to the
opposite shore,
To this the boy nodded assent, the
stranger disrobed. turned over the car
potsnck and habilimcnts to the juve-
nile, who padded ont into the stream,
and mounted his horse, prepared to
swim the river and enjoy the luxury of
n bath. With splash at every moment,
the horse stepped into the stream and
walked across-the water was nowhere
more than eighteen inches deep. To
say that that medicine man, perched on
the back of his horse, was man of in
iquity for the space of half an hour
would hardly do justice to the occasion.
There were enough oaths' along the
Merced that afternoon to supply hun
dred mining camps.

nSs- A clerk who had mind for log
ic, applied it to farmer with advan-
tage, thus:
Farmer" Got any cow-bells?"
Clerk Yes: step this way"
haven't you any larger?"
CLERK" No, sir; the large ones are
all sold"
Rsticus started off and got as far as
