SaXage and IOhnaOn.

AS previously announced, the above dis
tinguished gentlemen spoke here Tuesday.
Their speeches were entirely too lengthy for
us to attempt to publish them, biSides they
nave both been published several times in
the daily papers. Colonel Savage commenc-
ed speaking at IL o'clock and spoke nearly
three hours. He spoke at length of the
State and Federal finances, and wound up
with Scath1ng assault upon the history
OF mr Johnson. He has an original and
pointed way of saying things that makes
him an interesting talker. When he was
senger came in and asked him to give way to
Mr.. johnson. This he refused to do; telling
the man to tell Mr.. Johnson that he had
never kept faith with friend or foe, and was
not worthy division of time. After this
reply, Mr.. JOhnsonS friends imprOVised a
ldent commenced. When Colonel Savage
refused to divide time, he stopped and
stated that If any of the crowd wanted to
go down to hear Johnson he would wait
until they withdrew; only six or eight par
ties near the door left After Colonel Saw
the squareSto hear the ex-President, Mr..
johnson spoke four hours. He dwelt at
some length on the state finances. His
theory is TO pay the bond-holder what they
paid for the bOnds-no more. That is to
say, II they paid only forty cents on the dol
lar Tor bonds, he proposes to pay them back
that amount with interest. He made
reply to the attacks made upon him by Col.
Savage. The cold reception that Mr.. Johnson
met with is attributable to the fact that he
does not stand upon the new Democratic
platform; and his financial policy does not
SUIT our people, who are opposed to any
thing that is even tinctured with repudia-
ton. We regret that our limited space pre-
vents us from giving more extended no.
lice OF our distinguished visitors.

OLD wrAsEus LAST POKER HAND.

The best poker hand we ever heard
of was held bv old Weasel the other
night. Weasel didn't" know much
about poker, but he wanted TO learn,
and every now and then (the party
was playing euchre) he would show his
cards and ask if that wasn't good
hard. Once or twice he bet, but some
body always beat him, because he knew
so little about the game. After a
while, as Weasel was dealing, and
when he had thrown three cards
around to each one, he stopped and
looked at his three. He looked good
while. Then he got excited.
"Now, l know this is a good hand
I've learned something about poker in
the last two hours, and III bet S25 on
these three cards. It's just the best
hand ever saw"
Jones had beaten Weasel on this
sort of banter already, and SO be
took up his cards. He had three aces
Ia pretty good hand for three cards.
Nobody could have full of fours, and
his threes were the biggest in the deck.
He bent plying smile on old Wea-
sci aud said ~ think Eve got some
thing pretty good here, but | couldn't
bet less than $50 on it, We're not
playing poker, you know, and these out
side issues are irregular. | bet $50"
"Donel" said old Weasel; "What
have you got?'
They put up their money, and the n
Jones showed his hand.
Here's three aces, you old mutton
head You can't beat that with any
three cards on earth. You ought to
know better than to-"
"Hold on, cried old Weasel, throw
ing down the king, ten and seven OF
hearts. "That's a flush, amt it 2
When you've got all of a suit that's q
flush, believe and flush always
beats threes. l don't know much
about poker, but it seems to me I've
got the best hand out of Jail"
, Jones had forgotten about hushes
In fact, the whole party rather under
| rated old Weasel because he was re
ligious man and not supposed to know
anything about Grads. But they KEEP
t q very watchful eye on him after that
l and when he spoke of poker hand
S they all insisted on sticking to tn
s game they we're playing.-N, Orlean

BREAKING 1T GENTLY.

"Yes, l remember that anecdote," +"
the Sunday school superintendent said,
with the old pathos in his voice, and
the old sad look in his eyes. ut was
about simple creature named Hig-
gins, that used to haul rock for old
Malthy. When the lamented Judge
Bagley tripped and fell down the
court house stairs and broke his neck,
it was a great question how to break
the news to poor Mrs. Bagley. But
finally the body was put into Higgins
wagon, and he was instructed to take
it TO Mrs. Bagley, but to be very
guarded and discreet in his language,
and not break the news to her at once,
but do it gradually and gently. When
Higgins got there with his sad freight,
he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to
the door.
Then he said, "Does the widder Bag
ley live here?"
"The tVidotU Bagley? No, sir!"
"I'll bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley
live here p
"Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
"Pll bet he don't. But never mind
it amt for me to contradict. Is the
Judge in?"

WEST POINT CADETS AS BAREBACK
PERFORMERS.

The most amusing drill of the SER
vice took place this evening in the
riding hall, near the lower dock.
Twenty-six cadets, Of the first class,
commanded by Captain Rafferty,, of
the sixth cavalry, went through the
trying maneuvers of the school OF the
soldiers, mounted, at 5:30 o'clock. The
galleries were occupied by the board
of visitors and more ladies than l have
seen together here since the beginning.
The cadets assembled, armed with sa
bers and revolvers, on some of the
most troublesome horses in the COM
mand. The young men went through
troup exercise and the use of saber
in cutting at false head on a post
about the height of man. Having
given satisfaction at this part of the
trial of skill, the men were dismount-
ed and ordered to unsaddle their
horses. Then riding bareback, two at
time fred at dummy, leaped hur-
die, thrust at ring and another false
head in one. tour of the school. These
attacks required rapidity and GOODNESS,
because the revolver had to be drawn
from the holster, cooked, fred, and re-
turned, the sabre drawn, the hurdle
leaped and the thrusts delivered in
less than minute. Few failed, des-
pite the spirit of their steeds. Their
performances elected the highest en-
comiums, and were truly exciting.
Mr.. French, one of the cadets, narrow
ly escaped serious injury from the fall
ing of his horse at the hurdle leap.
Horse and man, in the most critical
moment of the tilt, rolled over and
over. in the arena, which was fortunate
ly covered with tan bark, and saved
the limbs, if not the life, of the cadet
at least.-N. Y. Times

sNoozER sPRINKLEs THE STREET.

A man living on Main st. went home
last evening filled up to the collar with
benzine. Feeling rather warm for
the season." Mr.. Snoozer, for it was
Suoozer, took off his coat and boots,
put on his slippers, and getting the
garden hose went out to sprinkle the
street, so as to make things cool around
there. Now, it takes quick, discern
ing, calculating eye and a steady hand
to manipHlate hose in the day time.
At night the difficulties are multiplied.
But Mr. Snoozer's mind was simply ON
the subject of sprinkIing. He gave
the hydrant wrench several twists, and
had on full head. After a few
crackles aud spurts, steady stream
was let fly right on the boots and
white linen pants Of a man with red
rosebud on the left lapel of his coat,
who was coming up from a4call on
Fourth street. The man stopped sud
denly in surprise, and Snoozer, motto
ing the mishap, in the true spirit Nof a
thoroughbred gentleman, advanced to
render an apology, when the nozzle
was turned quarter of an inch to the
larboard, and poured stream right
against the strangers immaculate bo'
som. The latter might have got red,
hot at this treatment, and shown fight
were it not impossible to do so under
the cooling influences brought to bear
and to avoid further disaster, the rose
bud and linen pants popped arsunC
the corner into an alley.
Mr.. Snoozer was then proceeding
quietly to cool off the bricks of thI
pavement, when gentleman, will
two ladies, two shawls, and one sor'
boil on his arm, walked up from ;
Vine-street beer garden. To preven
another catastrophe, the hoseman turn
ed the squirting apparatus toward tn
open street, without the least intention
of pouring about four gallons of Obi
river water down the backs of lad
and gentleman who we're riding by il
tilted top buggy. The gentleman
in words usually expressed in print il
dashes, told of his displeasure, an
uttered threats against Snoozers life
Mr.. Snoozer said it was purely acc
, dental-that he was willing to take
all back-that there was no sense j
crying over spilled water. While thu
engaged in an explanation, he wa
, perfectly oblivious of the nozzle in h
! hand. He was as innocent as an ur
!. born babe of knowing that stream
running at the rate of forty knots a
: hour, was sailing through the ope
5 window of second-story bedroom
the adjoining house, where man an
a his wife were sleeping. He new
Y dreamed of such thing until femal
e shrieks were heard and man in viii
: raiment appeared at the window an
r fred off seven shots from revolve
t Then Mr.. Snoozer thought he wouI
