taking soma action that will reduce tho present
amount Of tonnage on tic lakes, and

pnlicy has alreAdy been commenced by some pa..
tea. and owners Of sail craft In eau ace
no relief except In a combination aud withdrawal
OF the SURPLUS tonnage from the trade. No tcd-
nitc ntan Of relief has been presented BY any ono.
and Chpt. Nicholson says ho hAa none, and for
that reason urgeG tho vesscl. .owncrs to send e!o-
Rntes 10 tho HuiInn Convention. In order that lilo

In this connection It may bo we'll to state that
Capt. Nicholson dcntes having had any plan ut tn.

What appeacs i'll becomes well-that which

MIR. DIOSsENES.

This singular man lived In Greece. Ho was distln-
guished for his occenteres bad manners and bad dis
position Is chief business 10 ind fault For ex-
ample, he took a lantern one day when the sun was
shining brightly and went out to search for honest
man. thereby insinuatng that such persons were ex.
ceodingly scarce. When Alexander, n distinguished
military gentleman, paid him visit, and inquired
what he could do for him, he had the impudonce to
tell him to ''get out of his sunshine" To cap the
climax Of his oddities, he dressed like beggar and
lived in a tub. He was sour, grabbed, cTusty old
bachelor We infer that he had wife, hrst because
woman would take kindly 10 one OF his habits,
dress manners aspire to become mistress OF his
mansion. "There was an old woman who lived in
Shoe" 1t Is true, but the woman who would live in
tub, and especially with such a companion has not
been heard from. The misantropic spirit which pos
sessed this man was due to disordered digestion and
q biliousnsss one of the prominent symptoms OF
which Is mOrose. fault-hndlng disposition. The
tongue is heavily Coated giving rise to bad TASTE
the appetite IL not good, and the patient feels dull
sleepy dizzy and is apt TO be fretfR Unfortunate
ly Mr.. Diogenes lived several centuries before DR..
Perce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets wero invented
few doses Of which would have relieved him Of his
bile, and enabled him to ind scores OF honest men
without the aid Of his lantern. Under their magic in
nuence, combined with that Of the Golden Medical
Discovery, to cleanse his blood he might have been
led 10 take cheerful view Of e TO exchange his
tub for decent habitAtion 10 spruce up in personal
appearance, and at last have taken wife TO mend his

the reservoir, intending to go through to as.

quarter of q mile, he found a section of the
pipe having sunk into the quicksand, it
would be impossible to crawl through, aud

feeble voice TO the men at either end, who
were becoming extremely anxious. The
Golfer dam was leaking badly and tho men
had to work with all their might at the
pumps to prevent the water from drowning
him. Sawdust was dumped behind the dam,
and bags of sand were thrown to stop the
leak. After while Hancock became SO
much exhausted as to be unable to speak in
answer to shouted inquiries to his progress
Hour after hour passed and a large number
Of persons gathered, expecting that he would
never be got out alive. Finally, after an
imprisonment Of FIVE and half hours, he
backed out alive, trembling aud nearly dead.
