Mr.. Hill

To give John Smith a pension
Mr.. Bayard
Talkad himsalf trad

Talked himself tired
But said nothing worthy of mention
This would be succint, musical, and
IN degree impressive. The youngest
readers could grasp the meaning of it.
and it could easily be committed to
memory. Or a scene in the house
might be depicted in such terms as
Avery able speech was made by Cox of Min
nesOta.
Respecting the necessity of protecting the black
voter;
Twas Indignantly responded to by Smith of Ala
bama.
Whose abominable talk was silenced by the speak
er's hammer.
Then Atkinson of Kansas rose to make an expla-
But was pulled down by colleague in a state of
Indignation,
And Mr.. Alexander, in a speech about insurance.
Taxed the patience of his hearers pretty much
beyond endurance.
After which Judge Whitney denounced the reci-
procity
Treaty with Hawaii as a scandalous monstrosity.
1t would be advisable of course, to
vary the meter as much as possible in
order to prevent the monetony which
would otherwise dull the interest of the
reader.
After giving the proceedings in the
house as above, something of more
spirited nature, perhaps, could be in
serted into the senate reports. Sup
pose, for example, the pages devoted
to the senate should lead off with
something of this kind:
Then up rose Smith of Florida, the best of the
debaters,
And he spoke about his measure for protecting
alEgatOrs
He showed how tourists shoot at them without
regard for reason,
And asked to have it made crime to kill them
out of season.
Then Brown, he moved amendment by inserting
a brief clause
But Smith he up and said OF him who thought the
subject comcal
That nature when she gave him sense had been
too economical.
And Brown, responding briefly, wished to say in
this connection
That Smith in guarding reptiles had an eye to
self-prOtectiOn
Then Smith he flung volume of the Message and
Reports,
And Brown was laid upon the floor good deal
out of sorts.
Of course, versifcation of The CON-
9ressiooaI Record would require the ser
vices of a poet laureate of rather I'M
usual powers. If congress shall accept
seriously the suggestions which we
make with an earnest desire to pro-
mote the public interest, we shall ven
ture to recommend the selection of the
Sweet Singer of Michigan as the first
occupant of the laureate's ofice.-Ow

sented Hurd, with scarcely less lofti-
ness. Many folks talk as though it is
a wonderful thing to outwit the red
men, forgetting that the race is an in
ferior one by nature, and all we eau
casians have to do is to use our brains. -
This was said with positiveness
which showed that the speaker felt no
misgivings as to his own supply of that
article.
81 agree with you," added Macarthur,
" for it is by brains we have been saved,
where others have failed and gone
down."
The doctor, as the head of this mu-
tual admiration society, deemed it
proper to add:
L have heard so much about the
dangers of the Yellowstone region, and
about the necessity Of having a guide!
Why, we each and all would be conape-
tent to guide any expedition through
the country, no matter how dangerous.
| don't believe the most stealthy Indian
could get within gunshot of our camp
without every one Of us detecting his
approach"
The physician paused in rounding up
his period, for, just then he saw, in the
gloom behind the camp fire, the figure
of bent Indian, as he reached out and
gently coxfscated the doctors rifle,
leaning against the tree.
Macarthur, quietly smoking, was
awaiting the conclusion of the doctors
observation, to add something in the
same line, when he became aware that
the clump Of bushes Immediately be-
yond, and upon which he was absently
gazing, partly sheltered several crouch
ing warriors, while Hurd did not mis-
take the outlines of the sinewy form
which, slowly rising from the ground,
obtruded between his vision and the
starit sky beyond.

THE TRUTH OF THs MATTER. !"
SacRANpKro. Aucn.t 81 1S

SACRAMENTO, August q, 1882.
EDS. RECORD UNION saw a letter in
the San Francisco Examiner of last Sunday,
headed "a Sacramento Voice, over the sig.
nature Of an. c." in which the following
statement is made: That great and good
paper, the RECORD UNION, says the railroad
was forced into politics. The truth of the
matter is. the railroad went into politics from
the start, and one of it's frat schemes was to
tear up the rails of iss rival. the Sacramento
Valley Railroad, and tried to stop their
trains from entering the city," I would re-
sPectfully state, for the truth of history. that
the above is not correct. The Board Of
Trustees of the city Of Sacramento, as un.
derstand it, had ordered the grade of Front
street raised. The Sacramento Valley Rail-
road bad been requested to raise or remove
their track. Turton aud Kunx were the con-
tractors. The Sacramento Valley Railroad
got out an injunction to stop them from full.
filling their contract. The Injunction was
served by the then Sheriff Of Sacramento
county, James McClatchy. The Board of
Trustees of the city met and ordered the track
removed from Front street by the Chief of
Police of Sacramento. I, as Chief Of Pslice
a. the time, removed the track upon that or.
der, and the track was not removed BY the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. Also,
for the truth of history, the Central Pacific
Railroad did not try to stop the Sacramento
Valley Railroad trains from entering the city,
but to my own knowledge the Sacramento
Valley Railroad tried to drive the travel from
Sacramento city and build up rival to Sac
ramento at Freeport, some ten miles below
this city, on the Sacramento river. They
would force the passengers going to San Fran
cisco and way stations to change cars at Free
port Junction for Frseport. and take the San
Francisco and Sacramento boat there, as
she came down the river, by telling them that
the boat at Sacramento would leave before
the Sacramento Valley Railroad arrived, and
that the passengers would have to lay over in
Sacramento city until the next day. The
Steam Navigation Compsny's boats left Sac.
rameEto about P. NJ. have also seen the
captains of these boats standing on the upper
deck, with the line men at their lines, wait
ing to hear the whistle of the Sacramento
Valley engine or see the head of the train
coming around r and Front streets, when
they would order the lines cast off, while by
waiting two or three minutes they would
have enabled the passenger to make the con.
nection with the boat, clearly showing that
the Steam Navigation Company was in with
the Sacramento Valley Railroad to drive the
travel by way of Freepors, thereby putting
the passengers to great trouble and incon.
venience of stopping over in Sacramento until
the next day, or being forced to go by Free
port. remain, yours, respectfully,

The hermit ought to be happy. No
neighbors send to borrow his wheelbarrow.
No cats come in on him at night. No
book-agents ever get at him. He nsver
gets any little red cards telling him to
come up and pay his taxes. The sparrow
nsver gets on his cornice. He is never a
candidate for anything. He never tries to
manage mule. He never fights the tiger.
He is far from the ragman's dulcet voice.
He hasn't any fence that anybody can
chalk up. His mosher-in-law never par
alyzes him. He doesn't have to treat
Finally, he never has to read newspapers.

A report lie current of the evidence of q
mammoth snake inhabiting the Sisquoc
rancho, about fifteen miles east of Santa
Maria, Santa Barbara county. It is said
that the drying up OF the springs in the
mountains has caused the monster reptile
to seek the lower lands for water. 1t is
affirmed that its track measures five inches
across, which would indicate that the snake
must be from fifteen to twenty inches in
circumference. Several parties have been
organized to hunt for his snakeship, and
