In your late issue, l see Poat
gives A. 7. Stewart a side-wipe
Poats' head Is level. Stewart wa
a hard, cruel master; not only ex
acting from his employees the las
little, but following them with ma
licious zeal after leaving his employ
'Tis a satisfaction to US poor devils
to know that littleaesses are not in
| frequent with these millionaires
and that there is no rose without its
what-you-may-it.
If Stewards spirit can look down
at this shuttle-cock play with his
rather fagrant carcass, I would give
a nickel for his thoughts. Iflookin9
up, I suppose he will merely say,
"damn the expense-go it Hilton -
The whole affair is to my mind DIS
gusting 10 the extreme; for 'tis only
the husk of the dry goods prince
they are hauling about. Stewart,
the person, the identity, is elsewhere.
You recollect Lincoln's remains
came very near evaporating-and
the old fellow who was located in
the big Pyramid. Chas. Frederick
Cheops, after spending few thous-
and years In peace, had the unlaw.
full entry and detainer yanked at
him by Cambysss; and when Bel.
zone called to see him B. found
pasted on his sarcophagn "gone to
dinner" What a quiet old time
Cheops must have had-candles ali
gone, and nobody to play coptic eu-
chre, with him. Then, during the
French revolution, the mob broke
into st. Denis, to strip the lead off
the royal oaskets for bullets, and
made a pretty general average
amongst the dead WORTHLESS, from
Dagobert down. The grimmest
thing of all was the exhumation of
/, at St. Helena. The ex-
emperor was unchanged, save the
toes of his boots, which were burst
ed. Did that, suppose, trying to
kick his coffin open. Wonder, Mr..
Helms, if they'll stir you and l up
after 10 these many years. If they |
DO, hope the Jerry Crunchers will
cave a receipt for the habeas corpus.
I write this some 1900 feet above
he sea. l can't see the sea. but I
know what it looks like-and have
l pretty fair idea of what therein
Recommending with the deluge

George. They say matter is inde-
jtructible. Now I'll take a case.
Not Jonah aDd the whale. That's
lard and soft case-hard on Jonah
md worse on the whale. A seaman

md eat that shark. One of those
comrades tumhles overheard, and
mother shark absorbs him, and said
shark goes to the frying-pan. 1t

ishes. Now, where's mariner pri.

Again--(your attention my hear
,rs for a brief space)-if Jonah
,wallowed the whale-no II mean
he other thing-he had a dull time
hadn't dark time-plenty Of oil

he struck the shore. Did |
he light on his head. feet, or amid.
ships? Had he struck his head his
neck would have been broken; his |
feet, in rising by reversal, would |
have gone back on the whale; amid |
ship would have buried him alive,

could have crawled out after the |
