II ACKNOWLEDGE THE CoRN."-This
is the origin of the phrase II acknowl-
edge the corn" In 1928 Mr.. Stewart,
member of Congress, said in speech
that Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana sent
their hay-stacks, corn-6elds and fodder
to New York and Philadelphia for sale.
Mr.. Wickliffe, Of Kentucky, called him
to order, declaring that those States
did not send hay.stacks or corn.felds to
New York for sale. "Well, what do you
send 2" asked Stewart "Why, horses,
mules, cattle and hogs" swell, what
makes your horses, mules, cattle and
hogs? You feed one hundred dollars
worth of hay to horse. You just ami
mate and get on top of your hay-stack
and ride off to market. How is it about
your cattle9 You make one Of them
carry fifty dollars worth of hay or grass
to the Eastern market. How much corn
does it take, at thirty.three cents a
bushel, to fatten q hog?" "Why, thirty
bushels 'Then, you put thirty bush
els into the shape Of hog and make it
walk off to the Eastern market" Then
Mr.. Wickliffe jumped up and said: "Mr.
Speaker, acknowledge the corn"

STUART ROBsON'S GOOD LITTLE
g -..... BOY.
New Orleans Picayune.

The Chicago Press Club had a jolly en-
tertainment, recently, at which a num-
Der ofthe theatrical profession assisted.
Mr. 7. W. Keene, the young tragedian,
recited Marc Antomys grafton, Mrs.
Laura Dainty gave Toms Little Star"
Miss Emma Abbott sang "Way down
upon theSwanee River" and "Apld Lang
Sync," and then Mr. Stuart Robson came
forward with meekness and resignation
plaintiveIy written ont all over his fair
young face. He had been billed, he said
to give little advice 10 boys and girls.
He saw very few boys and girls before
him, bat trusted they would listen. He
remembered once reading about some
bad little boys--the only time he had
ever known anything about them. The y
threw stones at the Prophet Elijah, aud
called him "old bald-head," and were
otherwise disrespectful. What was the
result7 Why, great big bear came
right out of q wood and ate them up.
He hoped every little boy would remem-
Der this It would be much better to
go up to bald-headed man and advise
him to wear wig, or try some hair re-
storative, or something-be polite any,
how-for wherever there is q bald-head-
ed man there ls sure to be great bare
around not very far off.
He remembered another little boy
who once fetched his sister a swat in the
eye because she wouldn't give him a bite
out of her apple. What did she do7 Did
she pine and die in the early spring,
when the violets blow and the birds
choose their mates, with consumption,
and words of sweet forgiveness on her
lips' Not a bit of it. She batted him
over the head with rolling-pin, and
raised lump on his head like a hens
egg, so that he couldn't go to Sunday
school for q month because he couldn't
get his new hat on. Oh! boys should be
kind to their sisters. Or some other fell
ler's sister.
Bad little boys always come to grief.
He knew very bad little boy named
Billy once. 1t is general principle that
all bad little boys are named Billy, just
as all good little boys are called James,
and very ones Arthur. This bad little
boy was named Billy-Billy Crane-a
name which just fitted a sinful aud way
ward boy. He commenced his career by
playing hockey from Sunday school, and
giving "shivcrees," and turpentining

GOLD FROM WATER.
New York Ever'ng Post.

l have just seen your dispatch from
San Francisco in Saturday Evenings
Post about Gold in Solution in Ca)istoga
Springs" and about the proprietor hav-
ing extracted $1,000 in gold of the ut
most flneness from the barrels of water,
during the past fortnight by process
known only to himself. This will sur
prise many of your readers but it does
not surprise me; for l once owned those
springs myself. a.t fas a.{@%a.
What does surprise me, however; is
the falling off in the richness of the
water. In my time the yield was a dol
lar dipperful. am not saying this to
injure the property in case q sale is con-
templated. am saying it in the inter
est of history. 1t may be that this no.
tel proprietor's process is an inferior one.
Yes, that may be the fault. Mine was

hausted receiver, which had the effect of
sucking gold out through his pores. /

more remarkable than the gold bearing

A lion tanner in menagerie at San
Francisco gave a Chronicle reporter
some cruel facts about the training Of
beasts He said there was real danger
in the business. He had seen two men
killed, and was badly bitten once him
self, but he charged these mishaps to
carelessness and too much mercy. "You
learn to tell" he explained, "what kind
of temper the beasts are in, and con-
duct yourself accordingly. 1t amt hard
to dodge them, If they spring straight
at you, all you've got to do is to jump
little to one side, and if they jump
high for your throat you dive under
'em. There's never more than one
goes for you at time,and that don't oc-
cur often. The wild ones are better and
safer. This is because lion used to a
cage and to being poked and teased is
less afraid ofyou. I'd sooner handle ten
lions just from the jungles than one
that's used to the public. When | first
90 into cage of untamed once I'd have
fire near by. with three or four iron
rods in it, red hot. If the beasts go for
me, the men stand ready tojab the irons
in their mouths and make 'em let go "
He secuted the idea that lions could be
governed except by fear, excited by
inhuman treatment. He tried never to
err on the side of gentleness, and had
recently killed lion by striking it a
little too hard on the head.

cats, and pairing off the poultry by feed
ing them with pieces Of tough meat con-
nected by packtbread. Then he got to
crawling under circus tents, and to
sucking eggs. Finally he threw off all
restraint, Billy did, and got to going to
concerts and ward meetings, and then to
voting--an utter wreck.
Not long since he saw the result--the
woful result. In silent room, in o lone
house q full house--with wild
eye and disheveled hair, was the once
reckless, and gorgeous, and wicked
Billy, sadly ruminating as follows:
ITO draw, or not to draw, that is the question !;
Whether tis safer in tho player TO take
The awful risk of g inning for straight,
Or, standing pat, to raise em all the limit
And thus, by bluiting, get It. To draw-.to
skin;
No more--and by that skin TO get full
Or two pair or the fattest bouncin kings
That luck is heir to--ts consummation
Devoutly to be wished. TO drsw--to skin:
To skin perchance to bust--eye, there's the
rub
For in that draw OF three what cards may come,
When we have shufled of tn uncertain pack,
Must give us pause. There's tho respect
Which makes calamity Of bob.tailed dush.
For who could bear the overwhelming blind,
The reckless straddle, the wait on tho edge,
The insolence of pat hands, and the lifts
That patient merit Of the buffer takes,
When he himself might be much better of
BY simply passing. Who would trays.up hold
And 20 out on small progressive raise,
But that the dread of something after CALL
The undiscovered ace.fpll TO whose strength
Such hands must bow-puzzles the win
And makes us rather keep tho chips We have
Than be curious abeut hands we know not Of.
Thus blufing does make towards Of us all.
And thus the native hue of q four.heart flush
IL sicklicd with some dark and cussed club,
And specuat0rs In q JACK. wealth, gHW.JEe
With this regard, their interest turn away
And lose the right to OPEN. Q"

There were some good boys once in

Rain Freaks in the Cotton Bell.


A study CT tie areas of rainfall
affords curious examples of the freaks
Of the clouds and the rain forming
elements generally. For example,
the signal service bulletin giving an
account Of the rain throughout the
southern cotton belt for the week
ending Saturday last, shows that here
at Memphis the fall measured 1.2S
inches; at Little Rock, to the west,
.9S; at Fort Gibson, 30; at Knoxville
to the eastward, 70; at Nashville. .43;
at Lynchburg, 60; at Norfolk, .83; at
Charleston, 1.6l; Savannah, IA; Au-
gusta, .05; Montgomery, 2.22; Mobile,
,O2; New Orleans, 80; Shreveport, 20;
Galveston, .01; Indianola, 600; Cor
%sicana, 20; Denison, BIG; San Anto-
MO, lbs. In the Florida peninsula,
Cedar Keys, on the west coast, had
299, while Jacksonville, over toward
the eastern side, had but 10. From
the foregoing it will be observed that
the rain falls about in spots, as it
were, and is not distributed with
much degree of regularity. One place
may have from two to three inches Of
rain inside of a week, while another
spot not a hundred miles away will
have none at all.

Anew specimen Lies.

N. Y. Sun, Ind.l
Now for a few specimen lies:
The republican party suppressed
a rebellion which had armed nearly a
million of men to subvert the national
authority No it didn't. The loyal
people of the Union suppressed that
rebellion.
1t has raised the value of our pa
per currency from % per cent. to the
par of gold" No il hasn't. The
credit Of the nation and the industry
Of the people have brought the cur
rency to par.
1t has restored upon a solid basis
payment in coin for all the national
obligations" No it hasn't. 1t has
stood by while the laws of trade have
operated.
at has paid 1888, 1000, 900 of the
public debt" No it hasn't. The
people Of the United States have paid
the money. And but for the mon
strOus dishonesty of successful repub.
lican administrations the public debt
would have been further reduced by
hundreds of millions, or the burdens
of the people would have been less by
hundreds of millions-the hundreds
of millions wasted and stolen under
Grant.
I'VE affirm hat no further grant Of
the public domain should be made to
any railway or other corporation"
You affirmed the same thing four years
ago and eight years ago, and kept on
giving away the public domain until
the people made you stop.
Slavery having persisted in the
states, its twin barbarity, polygamy,
must die in the territories" You
pronounced its death warrant four
years ago, and have not raised a hand
to execute the sentence.
History will honor Rutherford b.
