A Lake Captains Yarn.

Captain Bennett, proprietor of the
river steamers, is man acknowledged
to carry pretty level head, and is no t
given to illusions or eccentricitics of any
sort. Yesterday, while at the wheel of
the steamer City of Rochester, on the
lake, he claims to have seen sea SER
pent, one hundred yards ahead of the
boat, and of line drawn from DR..
Moore's cottage on the bluff. The neck
and body seemed to be about six inches
in diameter, and the reptile rose up out
OF the water, showing its body To the
length of ten or twelve feet. The head
was large. The color was that of an
eel, and when it sank in the water, aft
er being In view for an instant, it did so
with splash, making the water boil
for six feet on each side. Captain Ben
nett told what he saw to an old Lake
Ontario navigator, and he advised him
not to repeat the story, or he would be
laughed at and told he had the tremens,
or something of that sort, if he did, as
he CHE navigator) was, n short timc
since, when he told he had seen the SER
pent, Captain Bennett is not a man
who drinks, and he knows Just what he

New England Forests.

Thirty years ago the pine forests of
Maine were considered ineXhaustible,
and Bangor was the greatest pine-dis-
tributing center on the continent
Spruce, which then abounded in all the
Northeastern forests, was little esteemed
and rarely cut, and hemlock not at all,
except for its bark.
We are reminded of these facts by the
publication by the Census Office of For
estry Bulletin No. 10, which deals with
the pine and spruce forests of Maine.
The map which accompanies this Bull
letin shows that nearly one-half of the
entire area formerly covered with conf
erous forests has been stripped of its
merchantable timber, and that the large
pine, and nearly all the largest and
best spruce, has been culled from the
remainder. There are still, however,
some considerable bodies of large, scat
tered pine, principally in the extreme
southwestern part of the State, which,

How the Chinese Conduct Their Corre-
spOndence.

When the writer is ready to begin his
letter. he unlolds the sheet of paper,
and writes first of all, at the upper right
hand corner, the name of the person to
be addressed, writing downward in a
perpendicular column between the lines
that have been ruled in the making of
the paper. Every character is a word
by itself, and is made with certain
number OF strokes, mostly straight or
turning at sharp angles. Few curves
are seen in Chinese writing of the pres
ent time, the script being precisely the
same in form rs the printed character.
Away back in the early development of
the written language, circles and curves
were familiar features of the printed
page. Every Chinese word is a mono
syllable and expressed by single char
acter.
In writing the names of persons, the
family name, which we call surname be-
cause it was an added name that came
into use in comparatively recent times,
is put first, and after it are written the
names given at christening. All titles
of honor and respect are written after
the name of the person. To show more
clearly how this is done, letter
addressed to the Hon. John Thomas
Smith will have the name r.nd
title written down the right-hand col
umn, beginning as near the top rs pos
sibc, and in this order; Smith John.
Thomas. Great man. All double names.
such rs John Thomas, are to be written
as compound words. If the person adj
dressed be of equal rank with the writer
and very considerably older. he may be
given the title father; but this usage is
rare. Ii is more common To use tho
word uncle as term of respect If the
difference in rank be slight, and the one
addressed be the higher of the two, then
he will be called "elder brother" "

Jumbo and the Baby Take Bath.

The baby elephant Bridgeport "
took her first bath and Jumbo" the
first he has had in this country, yester-
day, at Brattleboro, VT. A deep and
shady pool in Milestone Brook, con-
veniently near the circus tents, was
chosen. The baby came down to the
water with dainty, mincing motion,
dipped her toes into the drink, shivered
and partly withdrew, and then, urged
by the keepers prod, plunged boldly
in. Once in she seemed to enjoy the
wetting, and swan about, squirting
jets of water with her tiny trunk and
giving shrili grunts of satisfaction.
Jumbo appeared later and entered the
bath hardly less suspiciously. When
the first chill was over, however, he
dived in head foremost, raising the gem
eral level of the pool several inches aud
sending the waves rolling up against
the bank. He cavorted around, threw
stream of water into the air with his
trunk, and then settled down into his
bath till only the top of his head and
the ridge of his back were seen. AS he
rose, the water rolled from his sides
like cascades trickling over rock bed.
In the evening the rest of the elephants
were given bath, and for few mo-
ments the stream presented the appear
ance of pool in an East Indian Jungle

ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
or OF short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that In no case whatever will it fail to cure IL
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufhcient for q cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, II Its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and

will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken

ATTENTION, SPECIAL AGENT GIBSON

Is it true that mail matter Tor
some other matter), is being taken
from the Office of the Houk,G Gibson
Republican and shipped by Southern
Express in United States mail bags?
We pause for reply.
Here is the statute on that subject:
United States Revised Statutes,
Section 5,476: "Any person who
shall steal, purloin or embezzle
any mail bag or other property in
use by or belonging to the Post
office Department, or eoho shall, for
any lien, gain, or convenience, appro :
priate any such property to his oaon or
dny other than its proper use, or who
shall, for any lien or gain, convey
away any such property TO the him
derance or detriment of the public
service, if the value of the property
be twenty-five dollars or more, the
offender shall be punishable by i'm
prisonment at hard labor for not
more than three years, and if the
value of the property be less than
twenty-five dollars, the offender
shall be punishable by imprison-
ment fer not more than one year, or
by fine of not less than ten dollars
and not more than two hundred
dollars"
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-10-01

Judge Houk, in the opening of his
speech at this place, said he was true
to Republican instincts. We deny
it. If we know what Republican
instincts are, they do not favor be-
ing drunk and imprisoned in com
mon Jail; they do not favor swearing
that man is in a healthy condition
in order to get life insurance pol
icy, and then swear that he is broken
down in health in order to obtain a
pension. These are inconsistencies
the Republican party does not ad-
here to. If we understand what
Republican instincts are, they favor
competency, honesty and sobriety in
Office. If Judge Houk's view Of
Republican instincts be correct, we
want to join new party.-Dan-

JUDGE HOUK.

That Judge Houk Is a man of
more than ordinary ability, and that
in times past he welded an influence
in this Congressional district, none
will deny. But his days are surely
numbered, his political life is fast
drawing to a close, and the station
house at Washington, and other
places there that knew him once,
will know him no more forever. He
is now making last desperate effort
to uphold his waning cause, but
the fates are against him, and
his defeat is inevitable. In every
county, town and village throughout
the district his old friends and supe
porters are DESERVING him by the
scores, and ere long there will be none
so foolish as to do him reverence.
The sickening details of Judge Houk's
long continued debauches, his inn
prisonment in a felons cell, and his
betrayal of the confidence imposed
in him by confding people has
been told and retold, until every
one is perfectly familiar with
its horrid recitals. And the
man who now goes and
deliberately casts his vote for L. G.
Houk can never thereafter excuse
himself upon the plea of ignorance,
but must admit that he loved vice
and immortality better than decency,
honesty and sobriety. How menu
Der of Christian church, the father
of a family, or any one who feels an
interest in the prosperity of the
country, can favor the re election of
such a man to the high and exalted
position that he has so long dis
graced, is something that we cannot
comprehend or understand. And how
Judge Houk can have the audacity to
again come, with record as black
as midnight, and ask the people of
this district to give him their SUPP
port, simply surpasseth all human
understanding. For this, they aoill
never do. Houk may decorate his
followers with blue ribbons; he may
send his understrikers over the
country and scatter with a lavish
hand his ill-gotten gains, but the
law-abidlng, Godsfearing, peace
loving mountaineers of East Tens
nessee will never follow his black
banner or again ackno wledge him as
their leader. They have endorsed him
their last time, and now demand
his retirement from public life and
official position. And after the PEG
pie shall have arisen in "their might
and hurled this man Houk from
power, if he be a reasonable man, HI
a0M not, he can not attribute his down
fall to any one but himself, and him
self alone. For, with his own hand
he has taken his own life and dug hi
own political grave. -
