a JOKE ON GOOD TEMrLAEs. A few
days ago the Good Templars of Savannah,
Georgia, had picnic at a beach in the
vicinity of that city, the ground being
reached by q somewhat extended trip on
steamer. Among the provisions were
four casks of iced water, upon which the
excursionists relied for the quenching OF
their thirst, the only beverage allowed be-
ing, rs matter Of course, 0Qua 1u1u, and
the soothing, but uneXhilaratng lemon
AIDE. At length q suspicious odor was
noticed to emanate from the cups, goblets
and other articles from which the thirsty
Templars quatfed, and eventually it was
decided that the beverages they were in
dulging in had what is vulgarly called ga
stick i'll them. In fact, some sly one had
doctored the whole supply with ''corn-
Juice" and the temperance band had all
violated their pledge, innocently to be-
sure. but still undeniablv. The worst OF
it was that no other water could be OBJ
tanned and that unfortWate crowd were
obliged all day either to drink whiskey
with their water, or drink salt water
or declining either, to parch with thirst
And so the poison circulated as sparingly
as possible all day, and now those Good
Templars want to know whether it is
necessary for them all to be reobilgated
on account of their accidentally fractured
pledge

The famous iron gates, on the Danube,
are on the point of being destroyed. Our
readers are probably aware that they are
nothing but reef of rocks, which impede
the navigation of the river near Orsova, in
iransy lvania. These gates have given
their name in history to several battles,
among them OF 1922, in which Hunyard,
at the head OF $4,000 Hungarians, put
to complete route $4,000 Turks. Under
the Romans they bore the name of Pons
August (Bridge of Augustus) and in the
middle ages they were called Porte Vaczil.

FROTH VERSUS uVMBUG.

vocates sending farmer to congress

IRE rs much opposed to taking inferior
men as law makers, rs any body,
whether they DO third-rate lawyers OF

Throckmorton and Good, although
lawyers, have also been farmers nearly
ever since they entered mans estate,

thereby become inlmical to their kith

forbid that such bigotry should rule
the politics of this country. We feel

April 21st, says: The action Of the rail
road companies at the meeting in Now

here from relIable. sources, have given
Currercg to a rumor that the st. Paul
Company will refuse to run trains in Wis
consin if the new railroad law is made
effective. Mr.. Mitchell has been Inter
viewed by several reporters here, and
does not deny that that is his intention if
the law cannot he evaded. The United
Sta es Government, in such event, would
make use Of the authority to declare the
St. Paul postroadr and would transport
mails over it with locomotive and mail
car. 1t is also reported that there IS a
combination among all the principal rail
roads of the West to defeat Legislation
detrimental to them, and that for this
purpose a general suspension OF trains is
probable in several states.

ever known; but after conceding all
this, we still have two laws to COM

second, the law which compels us to
pay taxes without giving us repre-

foreiathers complained ot at the com
mencement of the Revolution.
