A New Story About Henri MOnnicr.

L'Evenement tells it. In a company
half bourgeois, half artistic, some one
begged Monnier to repeat a scene from
one of his plays. MOnnier vainly en-
deavored TO plead q cold, but the comps-
ny insisted to such an extent that he
consented to give them something.
There was a call for q screen, but Mon
nier told them that he did not mind it;
he would content himself by initiating
the cry of several animals. This every
one agreed to, and having gathered them
about him he began.
Twill first initiate" said he, "the
roaring of the lion: Heuh"
Everybody applauded this rearing as
wonderfully like; some ladies shud.
dered.
"Now | will initiate the believing of
the bull: Heuh!"
The same enthusiasm; meanwhile the
believing of the bull was precisely like
the roaring of the lion; but in salon one
does not look too closely.
Henri Nonnier continued:
1.-THE howl OF the wolf: Heuh!'
Always the same thing.
"The bleating Of the sheep: Heuh,'
They began to look at him with some
establishment.
Henri Monnicr went on:
The neighing of the horse: lleuh.'
"The clucking of the hen: Heuh!"
"The mewiDg of the cat: IIeuh!'
"The striking of the clock: Heuh!"
And catching his breath, he added, in
DiSbinO with n voice nf thunder.

CONGRESSIONAL


In the Senate, on the 10th, the vice
president laid before the senate Mr.
Mitchells resolution 70 investigate the
| charges against Grover when Mr.. salisbury
submitted a substitute, that the committee
ON privileges and elections be instructed to
appoint the Judge OF the fourth judicial
district OF Oregon as COpmissioner to take
testimony relating TO the charges against
Grover, with power to subpoena witnesses ;
said testimony TO be forwarded to committee
on privileges and elections, which shall re.
port the same with their conclusions thereon
at the next regular session OF the senate,
Some discussion took place on the resolu-
ton, pending which the senate ven into
executive session. After the doors closed a
message was received from the president
transmitting various nominations, and also
notifying the senate that he had no further
communication to make. At 80 the doors
were %reopened and the senate adjourned
until II o'clock tomorrow, when the nomi-
nations now pending will be disposed of,
and the senate will adjourn sine die.
In the executive session in the senate
on the 18th, there was a debate, lasting an
hour and a half, concerning denomination
of Frederick Douglass. Senator Conkling
made the principal speech in favor of its
confirmation, and senator Whyte was the
most prominent of the few speakers against
il. The Arguments advanced by the oppOsi.
ton were addressed solely to the question
OF the business qualifications OF Mr.. Doug
lass for this particular appointment, and es-
pecial stress was laid on the fact that the
bar association opposed his confirmation on
the ground that in their opinion he could
not successfully administer the affairs of the
office. The nomination was, however, con-
grmed on a yea and nay vote by ) or u ma
iority. No republican voted against l., and
Gordon, Hill, and Beck and Garland, with
one or two other democrats, voted for its
confirmation. II is understood Lamar, who
was absent on accounto of Illness, would have
voted aye if present. The following is the

replied as follows: Senator's thank YOU

Las. session of COngTess.


4 reporter of the Commercial had n
conversation with Mr.. Walsh, of Hot
Springs, who WIS on his way back from
Washington, where he went to assist in
getting through the law to redeem the
spiings. Mr.. Walsh, who has been a
prominent citizen of "tbc springs" for
many years, was formerly of this city.
During the administration of Mayor
Hatch he was on the police force. lie
is now practing law, and is also in the
real estate business. Iu the course OF his
talk about the springs yesterday he said;
The original adventures three who, in
1892, settled there and laid squatter-
claim to the lands were Hale, Gaines
and Rector. These men took in the
lands Immediately adjoining the springs,
and held possession. Anybody coming
after them, and proposing to settle there,
had TO pay them tribute at the muzzle
of the shotgun. You've heard a great
deal about tine troubles and compiled
tons. and legislature and attempts at
legislation in congress and out of con-
oress, and in the supreme court of the
United States, about this Hot Spring
reservation, that have kept back progress
there.
The act of 1871 seemed to arrive at
something definite in the way of the col
lection OF rents by the United States.
But this new act, which became a law
by President Grants signature, in his
last day in Office, settles everything on a
definite and enduring basis. There are
2,640 acres in the Hot Spring reserva-
ton. This includes the village, which
has a population nov Of four thousand
persons. There is TO be an sppraisement
Of this property embraced in this 2,640
acres, and every occupant must pay his
price, as appraised, to the general gov
eminent, and thus become absolute
owners. But the springs are TO be re-
served for the use of all, subjected to the
management Of a government officer,
forever.
A commission of three persons is to I've
appointed TO appraise the property claim
ed now by the owners of the buildings,
who shall have the privilege of purchase
at the assessed price. Any claimant
falling to Pay the assessed price shall
have the privilege OF removing his i'm
provement. The commission shall fix
the amount of land to be purchased by
each claimant, after having properly
plated the ground for a suitable arrange
ment Of streets and alleys. The lands
appraised and not taken by claimants
be sold at auction, at not less than
the appraised price. The springs will be-
under the control of the department of
the interior, and all taxes for the We of

A. w. Chase, of the United States
coast survey, describes, in a note to the
editor of the Popular Science Monthly
a contest which he and a brother officer
witnessed in 1867 on the Purissima, a
small trout stream about twenty-tour
miles south of San Francisco:
We had been fishing on the stream,
and came to a high bank which overlook
ed a transparent pool of water about ten
feet in diameter and four feet in depth.
This pool was tringed with willows, and
had on one side a small gravelbank. The
trout at first sight was lying in mid
water, heading up stream. 1t was, as
afterward ascertained, fully nine inches
in length-a very desirable prize for an
angler. While studying how to cast
our flies TO secure him, a new novel fish
erman appeared, and 50 quick was his ac-
tions that we suspended our own to wit
ness them. This enemy of the trout
was a large water snake of the common
variety, striped black and yellew. He
swan up the pool on the surface until
over the trout, when he made a dive.
and by a dexterous movement seized the
trout in such a manner that the jaws of
the snake closed IFS mouth. The fight
then commenced. The trout had the
use of its tail and fins. and could drag
the snake from the surface; when near
the bottom, however, the snake made
use of it's tail by winding it around every
stone or root that it could reach. After
securing this tail hold il could drag the
trout toward the bank, but, on letting go,
the trout would have a new al vantage.
The battle was continued for full twenty
minutes, when the snake manaG d to get
its tail out of the water and clasped
the root of one of the willows
mentioned AS overhanging the p'ol. The
was then up, for the snake gradually
put coil after coil around the Tuot, with
each one dragging the fish toward the
land. When half its body wa coiled il
unloosened its first bold and stretched
the end of its taii out in every direction,
and finding another root, made last, aud
now, using both, dragged the trout out
on the gravel bank. Itnow had il under
control, and, uncoiling, the snake drag
ed the fish fully ten feet up on the
ank, and ! suppose would have gorged
Jim. We killed the snake and replaced

While it is true that there is no

the dipsomaniac's strength to resist
temptation, there are valuable assistants
to his physical weaknesses in the form Of
animal and vegetable stimulants, which
he should not despise in fighting the bat

have been sufferers from the diseased pas.

that the craving for alcoholic stimulants
