A Rich Treat.

The elan of Christie or at least that por.
ton of them connected with, attached to
and dependent upon the TINES for their
daily rations of 'mush and milk" without
the milk had a rich treat and feast once
more, last Tuesday. 1t Happened in this way
Brother Mitchell, of the Duluth Tribune,
seeing our piteous appeal iii HE last issue
OF the ZINES for one more sight az a fresh
fish ere the grave claimed us for it's own,
took it in dead earnest land we are vere
glad he did. and on Tuesday we received
one OF the finest specimens of trout ever
taken from Lake Superior, accompanied by
pleasant note from the donor, which we
take the liberty of publishing
BROTHER CHRISTIE:
Your appeal in the last Issue
OF the TIMES for fish touches tender spot in
my heart, and may heaven and Col. Ingersoll
forbid that when brother editor calls upon me
for fish, should send him stone
l send you by ferry rs good a fish as /
could find in the market 1t is "a distant
relative Of but article of diet, a great
improvement upon, the fish that is said to have
swallowed gentleman named JONAH couple
OF thousand years or SO ago, and hope that you
will enjoy taking him in as much as his il
lustriOus ancestor and relative die, in taking
In" Mr.. Jonah Fraternally yours
R. C. MITCHELL
Theirs vas great rejoicing among the
clan when that fish made its appearance.
The better half, seeing the bearer coming
along the street with the fish in his hand
had just seized the mop and with blood in
her eye, vas rushing 10 the street to smite
the man and capture the prize, when she
met him at the door, and was herself an
initiated by the information that it was for
her. The children, (including the twins
set up such huliabaloo that she neighbors
thought the "old folks" were having another
of their little quarrels ard came in to
restore peace, but for once were disappoint-
ed !; and when we went to partake of our
humble dinner, we found the excitement
stH running high, and we were seized on
ali sides and rushed into the presence Of
his tiShship, the cause Of their great ioy
and we had to threaten to use the slipper
on eight of the youngest of the clan before
quiet could be restored 1t was a beauty
sweet and luscious, and we think we enjoy
ed taking ii IN far more than did It's
ancient kinsman III partaking of Mr. JONAH
FOR we believe that at that time Mr. Jonah
WIGS "bad," and made him sick at the
stomache, while our feast was good and
wholesome and retained It's place. After
the feast Brother Mitchell was rendered q
vote of thanks" and by the ''voting sign Of
the order unanimously declared him the
best man at the head of the Lake" FINS.
"A Washington dispatch of the
23rd speaking of matters pertaining to
the settlement of the claims brought
against the government contracted
through the illness and death of Pre-
sident Garfield, says:
There is an impression about the capitol that
the Dill recently reported from the select com
nlttec toGudlt the expenses attendant upon the
illness and death of President Garfield viii be re-
committed without discussion and be materially
modified in the committc before it is again re-
ported to the house. An attempt TO pass the bill
IN Its present shape ii is felt would provoke a
discussion that would result In some very SEN
satlonal developments, 1t is limited that more
than one reputation would be damaged before
the discussion could be closed if it were once
started
For Gods sake, for the sake Of a
suffering nation, let the discussion pro-
ceed at once. There was more than
one reputation" in that case which
ought to have an airing, and which
peoples Congress have no right to
whitewash and cover up with a clean
napkin. There was more of hell and
the devil in the Garfield case, from the
inception of the plan to shoot him up
the stealing of his backbone and other
parts OF his anatomy by the herds of
murderers and vultures that logged
his steps from the depot to the grave.
But one of the assassons has been tried |
and convicted. Let the others be ar
ralgned before the bar of public opin-
ION at least, that the people may know
their CRIME if they cannot execute
them for its commission.
