Congress will reassemble on the first

being made as to its action in various re-

Graphing a Granger,

1t was on Sunday evening that quar-
tette of young fellows were driving into
the city from the road to Linwood. They
had barouche, and didn't care whether
it rained or not And on the same eve
ming, about the same time, farmer was
going home in his wagon, after having
come to town to see his cousin Jane. The
barouchc and the farmer wagon met a
little beyond the City Cemetery. Neither
would turn off to the right, and so little
incident took place Every one knows
what an incident means, taken in connec-
ton with such transaction as we have
Just mentioned. The young fellows felt a

he had the advantage it is admitted
that there is more fight in one drink of
whisky than in ten drinks of beer.
The boys in the barouche drew up their
team in the road, and the farmer hollcred

Then they asked him verv fiercely why the

give them the road? And the farmer
meekly said, Road don't belong TO you
Then one of the boys said the farmer wa;

laid his lines down on the dash board, anC

Afford is quiet man, with humorous
style of telling what he sees, and told his
story to the Globe in aquaint but straight
toward manner. He is q man Of nerve,
and man of strong common sense. He
evidently has reason for believing those
who attacked him to be the Iowa train
robbers. In his narrative there was no
Dragging. He seemed toaccept the lnev-
table situation, and make the most OF 1T.
And so these bands of thieves seem to
make Missouri their home, intend to stay
here, get their money here and spend 1t
here. Perhaps some effort will be made
to catch and punish them, and perhaps
not. In the mean time the travelling
public are to rejoice at the prospect OF the
enlivenment of otherwise monotonous

The END OF THE MATTER.-The New
York Sun points out the perils of the Re-
publican party, and draws conclusion
1t says: "At the last four Presidential
elections, tho Republicans have had it a.
their own way. The precedents point to
its dissolution at the next trial. More
over, the great principles which it arose
to vindicatc have been settled, thoroughly
settled in its favor. And more fatal to
its continued supremacy than all this, it is
permeated with corruption, and the names
of many of its chief leaders are odious to
honest men.
This is not hopeful view Of the Re-
publican situation. There are two modes
by which the party may possibly escape
destruction. The one is Legitimate and
the other fortuitous. The former is to
purify itself and discard its venal leaders
The latter is 20 rely once more upon the
stupidity and unpopularity of the 9emcc'
racy."

fastness. Abalones ere univalvular
and if in detaching one Of them from the
rocks, to which it can fix itself almost i'm.
movably, one happens not to wrench IL
clear at once, it often fixes icsef on the
rock, prisoning the spelling hand, and
causing excrutiating agony. This was
poer "Chowder's" fate. As his evil star
would have it, the abalone was unusually
large, and the Chinaman, unable to release
himself, must have early realized that he
was doomed. From his position, leaning
over the rocks he could not brace himself
to obtain any leverage by which, at the
sacrifice of the hand, if need be, he could
free himself. We can imagine the agony
of the poor wretch as he waited for hours
for the rising of the tide, which would
free him from his misery by death. The
actual pain endured must have been un-
speakable, and no help was nearer than
eighteen miles. The poor Chinaman's
suffering was horrible, but, happily, the
returning tide prevented his torture from
being lasting. The inoxorable waters
shortly did their work. There came
time when the poor Chinaman could strug-
gle no longer, and when the food sucked
from his lungs the breath Of life. When
Chowder's body was recovered by a broth
er Chinaman, the dead hand was still held
in the inexorable grasp Of the abalone,
which had so terribly avenged the invasion
of its rocky home. The agony the poor
fellow had endured in this novel martyr
dom was imprinted on his face"

The Green Bay Advocate says: 1t was
many years ago, in 1S43. There were me-
many white men around Green Bay at THAI
time. Five was a crowd, and dozen a
convention. There were several at kau'
kaulo (now called Kaukauna) one day in
that year. A blue bird was observed il.
the dim distance to fly and alight. Co.
Tullor, of Green Bay, expressed the belief
that he could shoot it. The idea seemed
ridiculous, but the Colonel picked up q
Kentucky rife about six feet long ana
blazed away, and the bird fell. An inves-
tigation proved that the bird was shot in
the head, and that the distance was abou.
a mile and a quarter. The Col. was 10 shot
but this triumph was mere accident
George W. Law kept house at that point,
and it was here that this feat was perform
ed. An Indian stood there clad solely III
breech elout, and when the result was
made known, he privately.inquired of the
Colonel how he had aimed. He answer
ed: "Right between the eyes" The In
dian stepped up, took off his sole article
of dress and laid it on the counter, ex-
claiming: "Treat um white man; whisk
