WASHINGTON, April 10. - Senator
Davis, of West Virginia, got 8 chance TO
remind the Republican Senators sgsin
to-day OF the amount of money they hsd
cheated the Government out Of in their
management of the Treasury. Davis, i!
will be remem oered, is ChsIrmsn OF the
Senate Committee which has been in-
vestigating the Treasury Department.
Hitherto be hiss only asserted that there
were enormous discrepancies in the
Treasury accounts. To-day he charged
boldly that there had been defscstion
of over $4,000 600. Dawes undertook
again to defend the steal, but could only
say because Democrats didn't understand
the Republican system o! keeping books.
Davis informed him that he would prove
his assertions in due time, and there the
matter dropped for the day.

well" remarked the Judge, scanning his
subject close from head TO foot, yours Is Il
singular case, yet think it is easily account
ed for. | am reminded by 1t OF little story.
A negro man, with IA loaf of bread and a
flask Of whisky, sat down to dine by the bank
of clear stream. In breaking the bread
some of the crumbs fell into the water. These
were eagerly seized and eaten by the fish
That circumstance suggested to the darkey
the idea of dipping the bread in the whiskey
and feeding il to them. He tried it; it work
ed we'll Some of the fish ate it, became
drunk, and lay helpless on the water. BY this
stroke of strategy he caught large number
But IN the stream was Il large fish very unlike
the rest He partook freely Of the bread and
whisky, but with no perceptibe effect; he was
shy OF every effort of the darkey to take it,
ale resolved to have it all hazards, that he
might learn its name and nature. He pro
cured net, and after much effort caught H.
carried it to negro neighbor, and asked his
opinion of the matter The other surveyed
the wonder for Il moment, and then said,
'Sambo understand dis case. Dat fish is a
mullet head it hain't got any brains"
in other words" added the Judge, "alcohol
affects only the brain, and Of course those
having none may drink without injury!'
The storm of laughter that followed drove
