Last Monday night we wendell our

the scene: The regular debate had Just
closed and the grave looking judges were
preparing to give the decision which
shoule forever settle the question OF the
United states buying Mexico The au-
dience sat as thouGh they were spell
bound and when tho President made
known the decision. and announced that
they would pass right along to miscella-
neous debate, the audience, wild with
enthusiasm, or somethin' else, roared
and Numbered, and thundered sn1 roar
ed. for they were so glad we wouldn't
have 10 buy Mexico. General debate
was now in order but the audience was
too J,tU (of enthusiasm) for utterance up
on the question. More roaringl. The
minute speeches were now in order.

on the floor and was requ6 sted to speak

floor and was requested 10 say something
about the horse. n o said that "the horse
was very useful animal, had four legs,
one at each corner" Supply OF roar
