CAT IsLASD.-In all probability it was
not Cat Island which Columbus named
San Salvador, but WatliEs's Island.
Lieutenant BeecheF, of the English Ma
Wy, proves conclusively that Cat Island
can not be San Salvador, and that Wat
ling's Island answers the conditions re-
quired better than any other island "
ing in the track of Columbus. His two
strongest reasons against Cat Island are
that Columbus states that he rOwed
around the northern end in one day.
The size of Cat Island makes this phys
ically impossible there, while it Is quite
feasible at the other island He also
speaks of a large lake in the interior.
There is no such water on Cat Island,
while such a lake does exist Oh Watling's
Island.

A FIT SELECTION.

Hardly any filter selection could have
been made, and it is especially accepta-
BILE to the Governor and his particular
friends, while the friends of Mr.. Carpen-
ter are fully satisfied that he is the next
best man to Mr.. Carpenter, and are sat
isfied with his election. The Democrats
can hardly gain what they sought by his
election-the entire annihilation of the
Republican party. They already see
their mistake, and the pains taken to
tear to pieces the Republican party, will
strengthen it, and demoralize the Dem
ocratic party. The Republicans once op-
posed to his election are strongly in his
favor, now that he is elected, and pro-
pose to fully sustain and support him

CLAY AND IRoN.-An army officer was
riding across Canal street, New Orleans,
with his Irish orderly, whan he came
opposite the black statue there erected
of Henry Clay. Quoth the Irishman,-
.Does these fellows like a nagur well
enough to put statue of him in the
fashionablest street of the town.
THAT isn't a Niger, Tom," replied
the officer; ''that's the great Clay stat
ue."
''Might go look at - asked Tom.
Receiving permission, he rode up
close to the statue, climbed upon the ped
estal, and examined the figure carefully
on all sides. Returning, he exclaimed,
with every appearance of intense dis
gust:

''Yes, replied the officer.
''Well, it's lie-it's iron

coRoNER'S GOV.

He is q boy Of deep thought, and is
much given TO deductions. The coroner
is not his father, but he is lad who
was engaged to mind the Office, shake up
the coal stove and answer inquiries. He
is a good boy, and has learned to synI-
pathiZe with reporters. When there has
been an inquest the boy puts ON a cheer
tul look, and he has the whole case so
that he can rattle it off from beginning
to end.
awful sad case, he says to the re-
porter. ''TheY found the old man hang
ing to beam in the woodshed, stiff and
cold. Splendid chance for you to say
that his wide open eyes seemed to glare
down upon the Coroner, and that he had
one ann stretched out as if to shake
hands with the grim monster of death.
You can say that the body swayed to and
fro in the night breeze, blowing through
broken pane, and that an owl sat ON a
beam oveE the corpse and uttered his
mournful hoo HOOP
And then he rubs his hands, his smile
grows broader, and he continues:
Business has begun to pick up, and
there may be an inquest every day for a
week. hope so, for like to see tGsi-
ness moving, and money coming in. I'm

But there are other days when he is
sad, and he says to the reporter: ''Noth-

we can't push business as grocers do

the holiday season is no better than any
