revolutionary.
Mr.. Garfield Il had supposed that there
was nobody in this House that at this late

was revolutionary TO put rider on an ap-
preparation bill. I never said 50 in my
life. Its not in any printed written or

Mr.. Garfield said: "When minority un-

Mr., Kelly continued ut some length,
stating for the benefit OF the Democrats
that they need not hug the delusion that

MCKINNEY's, SUNDAY, July o.
EB APPBAL-For two days the Lake has
been dead, CLASSY sheet of water, leaden IN
color, and almost exasperatingly quiet. This
morning, however, fine breeze has sprung
up, and the sail boats have spread their white
wings, and are making aimless voyages about
the Lake. Sailor Jack, who has been be-
Gained here for day or so, proposed race
with a French sailor, who has gayly deco
rated sailboat with an awkward chopped of
looking sail, and patriotic looking flag Hut
tering in the breeze, which small boy pri-
vately informed me was discarded red sock.
The race was not close enough to be exciting,
for Jack bore off the honors too easily, and
left the foreign element far behind. We
have been both afflicted and entertained these
last two days, by a remarkable person who
takes pictures" He has curiously prima-
tive method of his own and has been quite
successful as far as the number of victims he
has secured, is concerned. Of the dreadful
results of his labors, | will be considerable
enough to maintain a comparative silence.
The mode of operating, though, was exceed
ingly ludicrous as observed by disinterested
outsider, and the amount of vital force
wasted in the frantic contortions and jump
ings, and movings, and hootings, at the terri
fed, open-mouthed subject, was something
fearful to contemplate. We have quite a
colony of men, women and children, especially
children, who are apparently settled for the
season, and old John has to make close calcu-
lations to accommodate his guests. Among
others from Carson are the families of County
Treasurer Yager, and Mr.. James Dealy.

He allowed us to peruse one of his efforts,

The patient fishermen have very little to
reward thrir efforts just now. Some way the
fishes seem to have lost their appetites, and it
takes dainty morsel very temptingly dis

lucky individual, who was the center of an
admiring crowd, did secure beautiful speci

pounds. He was a beauty, and looked if
he was old enough and big enough not to

cents pound. l have just come to the dow
