They were talking politics and play
ing bean poker, twenty beans for a quar-
ter. There were three of them, all DEM
ocrats, and for convenience we will call
them Smith Jones, and Robinson. Smith
was dealer, and while he was dealing the
cards Brown and Robinson were dis
cassing the overwhelming corruption
among the officials of the land and SHOW
ing cards up their sleeves. The cards
being dealt, Brown, who sat next the
dealer, passed, at the same time remark
ing: "As was sayin', the fearful COR
ruption which runs through every
branch of the public service is horrify-
lug to every true patriot; the blush of
shame nantes my cheek when / think
of Grant, the President of the United
States, lending himself to all kinds OF
thievery and jobbery, and surrounding
himself with a horde Of bloodsucking
robbers, who are draining the very life
blood of the people,"
"Its perfectly awful, / chip said
Robinson, and he neatly disposed of his
hand and got four kings out of bis
sleeve.
II pass out" said Smith.
:Just look at Belknap and Babcock
and Blaine and the rest of them fellows.
l raise you twenty BEANS" remarked
Brown, as he deftly got from his sleeve
four aces which were there concealed.
"Yea, and think of Bristow and them
mules. Let's see; ! call that raise and
60 you twenty BETTER" replied Robin
son..
THAT sizes my pile. Just 60 back
a few years in this administration and
ponder on the Credit Mobilier, the back
paysteal, the raisin' of the Presidents
salary and the use of money to carry
elections in New York. Such things as
them were new heard OF in Andrew
Jackson's time, or when the Democrats
were in power. L call you; what have
you got?" said Brown.
GIVE got a pretty nigh an invincible
here's two little pairs of kings re-
piled Robinson, as he laid his hand on
the table.
"Oh, l can rake them-here's four
bullets, sad Brown as he reached for
the pot.
"Great snakes!" exclaimed Robin
son "youre a nice pill to be talking a.
bout corruption of the Administration,
amt you? If / couldn't play poker
honester'n you I'd never talk about 9TH
er folks. You and Mr., Smith continue
this game while | 60 out and rustic

Strange Fish.

"A correspondent of the Demo-
cratic Dispatch, Mendocino coun-
ty, CAL, thus describes a strange
fish caught in Little River a few
days ago: "l'he length of the fish
Is fourteen inches; the head assem-
bles that of a small Jamaica mon
key; the nostrils are round, and
of the size ofa pea; the head has
no resemblance of that of auy
other fish; below the nostrils is the
mouth, with the tongue sticking
out; about two inches above the
mouth and nostrils protrudes a
bone, used, l suppose, for defense
and which turns in all directions 4,
above this bone, and on the sides
of the head, are situated two big
eyes, as large as those ola cat; the
body is the same thickness as the
head till it gets to the tail: under.
meath the body it has two legs,
which it uses to propel itself along
the sand and rocks; the legs have
two arms, covered with flesh SIM
liar to that on a cats tongue; the
body then terminates in a kind of
a tail like an cells. Altogether
the fish is a curious object

The wheat crop will pc a good one,
but how about the price of wheat, is

Granger's Dream.
[By request of q Granger.]

~
The Lanark Gazette gives the fol-
lowing which is::too good to be lost:
A Granger dreamed that he died, he
went straight to the spirit world; he
knocked at the gate Of the New Jeru-
salem and it was opened unto him. The
books were opened; he was asked 'did
you ever belong to any secret societies.
To which he replied, IL did. To the
Grangers." Then, sir, you cannot be
admitted, depart" He then went to
the door Of the bottomless pit, where the
same questions were again asked him by
the Devil, and again he was told to de-
part. After he had gonea little
ways off he was accosted by the homely
ruler of the pit, when the following
propositions were made: stranger, "
said Nick, 81 will not admit you here;
they do not want you in Heaven; but
| will sell you two hundred barrels of
birthstone for CASH, TEN PER CENT. OFF,
and you can start a little hell Of your
own, with no agents or middlemen.'

Sad Death of a Little Girl.

A little daughter of F. j. Beard
sley, of Stafford, Conn.,, five years
old, died while undergoing a sur
gical operation, Sunday. The
child had a number of blood tu-
mors on the scalp, which, when
relieved, again filed. The ply
stefan injected a minute quantity
of persulphate of iron in a small
tumor to coagulate the blood, when
the child grew pale and died in a
few minutes. 1t is supposed by
physicians that there was a COM
munication between the tumor
and the brain through which some
of the tincture passed.
