the important and responsible duties
devolved on the commissioners,
their compensation should be in-
creased from $4,000 to not less than
$4,000 per annum. This would, in
his opinion, secure higher order of
ability in the persons selected, and
would tend more effectually to carry
out the objects of the law. Re-
ferred.
After an executive session the
Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, April 3-In the
House large number of bills were
introduced.
Among them was one by Mr..
Robertson, of Louisiana, appro-
priating $4,000 for the statistical
report on the destruction of prop
erty in the Mississippi Valley by the
food of 1882.
By Mr. Moore, of Tennesse. To
authorize the const-aS.avn OF a
bridge across the Mississippi River
at meIupUlS, 1euu.
Mr.. King, of Louisiana, offered a
resolution instructing the committee
on the Mississippi leyees to investi-
gate and report the extent of the
present overflow of the Mississippi
River, and the destruction to human
life and detrimental to property,
private and public, caused by the
same. Referred.
Mr.. Crapo, Of Massachusetts,
moved to suspend the rules and
adopt a resolution making the bill
to extend the corporate existence of
national banking associations con
tinuous special order for April 18th.
This started lively debate between
the friends of the national banking
bill on one side and the Greenback-
ers, Silver men and those who gave
preference to other measures on the
other. Finolly vote was taken,
and the mothon to suspend the rules
was lost-nays l22, yeas ", not the
necessary two-thirds in the aft rma-
tive.
Mr.. Dannell, of Minnesota. moved
to suspend ruled and pass the bill to
amend the laws relating to the in
ternal revenue. Agreed to, 1913 20.
(This is the bill which was some
some weeks ago reported from the
committee on ways and means, and
the synopsis of which was published
at the time. It extends the bond
period for the retention in the ware
houses of distilled spirits and places
distilled spirits on the same footing
as snuff, tobacco, cigars and ferment
ed spirits.)
Under suspension of the rules,
bills were passed providing for the
erection of public buildings at Lou
isville, Ky, and Rochester, New
York.
An attempt was made to secure
the passage of a similar bill for
Columbus, Ohio
Mr.. Campo, of New York. pro-
tested against the reckless voting
away of public money, and said
there were 1913 similar bills before
the House and its committees, call
ing for appropriations OF SIT, 100000,
and that in some cases public build
ings were proposed in cities where
no courts had ever been held.
The bill was finally passed.
Senate bill was also passed for the
erection of a public building at
Minneapolis, MINI.
The Speaker laid before the
House message from the President,
transmitting a communication from
the Secretary of State in further re.
ply to the resolution calling for in
formation of Thomas Shields and
three other Americans arrested in
Mexico. Referred. The documents
disclose no facts who have not al
ready been published.
The House adjourned.

DISTINGUISHED minister, lately dead,
having engaged to publish sermon,
was waited upon by the printer with the
first proof, which, of course contained
the text, in which most singular mis-
take was made. The text was from the
second chapter of Job, "Skin for skin
yea, all that man hath will he give for
his hfe." The printers blunder con-
sisted in substituting 10 for the in the
last word, which presented very differ
ent meaning from the original text. The
minister smiled at the mistake. and SIM
ply wrote on the margin, "N. B.-This
depends upon circumstances.'

Caught at His Own Game,

Years ago, into wholesale grocery
store Id Boston walked a tall, muscular
looking man, evidently fresh conner
from some backwoods town in Maine or
New Hampshire. Accosting the person
he met, who happened to be the mer-
chant himself, he asked:
You don't want to hire man in your
store, do you?"
SWELL " said the merchant, 81 don't
know what can you do ?"
"Do?" said the man, "I rather guess
/ can turn my hand to almost anything
what do you want done 2"
"Well, it I was to hire man, 1t would
be one who could lift we'll strong,
wiry fellow. One, for instance, who
could shoulder a sack Of coffee like that
yonder. and carry it across the floor and
never let it down"
"There, now, Captain, said the coun-
truman, that's just me. I can lift any
thing l hitch to; you can't suit me bet
ter. What will you give man that will
suit you"
'I'n tell you," said the merchant, eft
you'll shoulder that sack of coffee and
carry It across the store twice, and never
lay it down, will hire you for year at
500 month.
"Done," said the stranger, and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and waited to join in
the laugh against the man, who, walking
up to the sack, threw it across his shoul-
der with perfect ease, though extremely
heavy, and walking with it twice across
the floor, went quietly to large hook
which was fastened to the WALL and
hanging it up, turned to the merchant
and said:
"There, now; it may hang there till
doomsday {; shall never take it down
What shall I go about now, mister? !?
Give me plenty to do and one hundred
dollars month and it's all right"
They broke into laugh, and the mer-
chant, discounted, yet satisfied, kept
his agreement, and to-day the green
countryman is the senior partner In the
firm, and is worth q million dollars.

''No, indeed, have not. LIS he any

"Then I don't care to meet him. II

AN UNDERGROUND RIVER.
idaho Democrat.

Mete Greene, not long since, while out
with his cattle, made most startling
discovery, and one that may possibly
take its place among the grand wonders
of Idaho. He was riding along early in
the morning on the divide between In
dian Creek and Snake river, when his
horse sprang aside, snorted, and other
wise gave evidence Of having seen or
heard something unusual. The spot was
on little knoll, on the comb OF the
ridge, and Mete, who had been almost
asleep, taking a sweep around with his
eyes to learn the cause of his horses be-
havior, finally rested his vision on what
seemed to be hole in the ground few
PAGES distant. Dismounting he was soon
looking into funnel-shaped orifice tif-
teen or twenty feet deep by ten or twelve
at its rim in diameter AT the bottom
of this funnel-the soil giving out there
was rift in the rock two or three feet
in width by four or five in length. which
seemed to open into the very bowels of
the earth. Through this aperture came
up from the depths below terrible roar.
ing, as of leaping cataract, a mighty
rush of waters, tumbling over rocks. The
ground trembled, and the subterranean
noise continued uninterruptedly. Mete
remained some time, and the longer he
listened the more convinced he became
that what he heard was running water;
but how far down to the stream he could
not even conjeature-might have been a
few feet or half way to China. And as
the tissure was large enough to take him
In, should his foot slip or "head swim, F"
his observation was not an extended one.
The principal thing he did while there
was to listen low and strong and think
loud-at safe distance from the brink
of the hole Mr. Greene told us last
week that party of cattle men were
preparing to make thorough investiga-
ton of the discovery by letting one of
their number down with ropes, with a
view to utilizing the stream, if possible,
in watering the stock during the Winter
months when the surface streams are
frozen up. Their search may develop a
second Mammoth Cave, or vast and un-
fashionable abyss whose mysterious
depths will never be explored or its
gloomy solitudes disturbed by inquisitive
man. Catlin, the artist, mentions these
underground rivers, and in his writings
tells Of one which he heard in the very
backbone of the rocky mountains, run
ming, he thought, from north to south.
