rider Of the beas, bad the appearance Of

tered were his garments. In fact, 10
was surrounded with q perfect halo Of
rags. Soon as the gentlemen saw him,
the Republican friend remarked That
tho person in front was Democrat. as
his general appearance Indicated that
fact. A wager Of one gallon Of Perry
Fosters best was soon made. Soon
the caravan Of animated rags and bones
was over,aken, when tho following
conversation took place:
"My friend" sud the Democrat.
1--WE don't wish to be impairment nor
to take advantage Of your present con-
dition. but we wish to ask question. I"
"All right, proceed"
"Well SIR" what arc your politics.

called The "Iudian Ring" aud recon
mcnds that they be awarded nu fur

refers some Of their transactions to the
Department Of Justice for prompt To-
gal prosecution. Professor Marsh is
treated with great courtesy md re.

abouuds in valuable suggestions, look.
ing to better system OF accountability
at the agencies, insuring greater fair
ness in the contracts for transportation
aud supplies, curtailiug unnecessary
expenditures, and providing safeguards
against future frauds. It contains im.
