and hungry, whose face was covered with
blood, was suddenly seized with fainting fit.
He was quickly dragged to corner OF the

recovered. The simple German prisoner,
with his yellow dog, stepped up to the tramp
and kneeling over him wiped OFT the dirt and
blood-s from his face with his handker-
chief. Bergholz's turn came at last His large
yellow dog Sat on his launches and watched
his masters face atfeCtiOnately.

fed that on Wednesday evening the good
humOred Teuton, passing her on The sidewalk,
threw his arms around ner and kissed her,
and that on her screaming Miss Jennie Welsh
attacked Bergholz, and soon number OF nrst
ward lads surrounded him. Berghoz then
drew revolver, and pointing 1t at his assall-
ants exclaimed: ANY man that comes within

use it, for he carefully took out the cartridges

at him. So he winked. She smiled, and ht
retraced his steps and kissed her. Justice

JOAQUIN MILLER'S FISH STORIES.
Remarks 0f a Poet Trained In High
Flights of the Imagination.
tRep0rt Of the Meeting Of the American Fish


REPORT Of the Meeting Of the American Fish
Club
joaquin Miller, the poet, being called upon,
said he would not make 81 regular speech, but
would instead tell a few fish stories, which
were MS true MS Gospel. He proceeded: my
father once had trout pond In Oregon and
the fish multiplied SO fast and grew so large
that he had to build fence around the pond
to keep the trout from coming out OF the
water and tranpling upon the grass
The president hoped that the speaker would
remember George Washington and his little
Ratchet.
"But," continued Mr.. Miller, "the fish
cambered over the fence. which was not
very high one, and got into he grass, after
all. Then my father built another fence,
that some Of the largest fishes jumped sleek
and clear over that fence, and the grass WAS
completely ruined"
"0h. my Is that so 90 inquired Mr.. Seth
Green.
II am telling the TRUTH" replied Mr. Mil
Ter. Now will tell you another DER true
tale"
"Fish tall" suggested n gentleman.
"There Is nothing fisby about the story
am now going to tell you" retOrted Mr.. Mil
Ter. at is really the truth. There are some
trout streams in Oregon In which the fish are
SO very numerous that they crowd each other
awfully. | was once riding on horseback and
came to one Of the trout streams. There was
no bridge and the alternative was to ford the
stream. rode my horse into the edge OF the
water, but the fish were 30 thick that the
poor animal could not wade through, and
although urged him, he pointedly refused
to go any further, and | was obliged TO aban-
don the Idea Of crossing. The trout bit the
| horses legs terribly"
| At this point many Of the hearers laughed
derisiyeIy, and the speaker, with a cbunte-
nance as solemn as parsOn, looked about
with an air of surprise. He evidently felt
hurt because there were those present VINO
| doubted his assertions.

Would leave as the proper ante bollum

l will conclude with brief reorganization
The ante-bellum debt, according to the report
of the Especial committee" was found to be
1884 900; according to the figures Of Mr..
Bragdon to be S4,040,OO0; according to the
Auditors report for 1877, to be precisely what
the special committee has stated and ac-
cording to the statement in cause No. $50, be-
fore the Superior District Court and repre-
Sented on the part of the State by J. d. A.
Fellows for the Attorney General, to be only
S3,923,00 as the highest possible amount. But
certain deductions were found necessary iii
the interest OF truth, and the ante bellum debt
WAS thus reduced to the insignificant total OF
81, 10, 500.
1t will be discovered from this last report
that the seminary fund bonds and the free
school fund bonds were never issued and that
these aggregate no less than S6G5, 600
/ trust the foregoing facts, derived from
four distinct official sources, will shed the
necessary light upon this important and in
terestipg subiect-our ante bellum State debt
This was the debt of Louisiana when she
could point to her wealth and prosperity with
honest and manly pride; when her sons. all
patriots, We're ready to serve her for the
honor OF serving-nOt for mere dollars and
cents; when the word honor was the soul of
principle, and meant everything that was en-
nobling, grand and heroic; and had not these
to stand, as now, Tor a mark to conceal
fraudulent claims or to play the role Of disin-
tectant to fostering masses of corruption, like
our post belum bonded debts, which represent
nothing, unless the theftS and the spOlation
covered by that memorable period Of ON
heiplessnes and humiliation from which we
have now emerged, not simply crippled, but
in utter prostration and poverty.
