A DIsGUsTED GRANGER.

They were standing before the Mills group

the one Granger with SLOUGH hat, flannel
shirt and pantaloon-legs tucked into cowhide
boots; the other nobby and smart young
man of the period.
"What mout this signify" asked the
Granger of the smart young man.

State by the California lobby, and is sup
posed to be typical of the good times com.
ing"
Il don't exactly comprehend" said the
Granger, with an inquiring look.
"Well, sir, it has always been the aim and
desire of the lobby to elect men to public Of
fee who can be approached; men who will
listen to its convincing arguments, SO to
speak; and, as they phrase it, they want
men in Office whom they can get near
enough to to hand Them an orange This
significant expression, which is equivalent to
that well-known juvenile deceit about put
ting salt on birds tail, has passed into a
proverb. The figure on the right, sir. repre-
sents the King of the Lobby. The femsle
figure in the center is California. The lobby
is handing her an orange, which she is sp-
parently eager to accept"
And that string of beads around her
waist" asked the Granger.
THAT, sir, replied the S. y. m. "is wam-
pun"
"Wampum whats that!'
"Wsmpum, sir, was the first money or cir
culating medium ever used on the American
continent. 1t consisted of strings of shells,
and was the original currency of the abort
giues. In its production here it is supposed
to be typical of the public treasury, or, as the
boys call it, the sack You will observe
that while California is apparently seduced
into the acceptance Of the orange, she is daily
ing with the belt of wampum, or the sack,
which she is about to yield up to the solicita-
lions of the tempter"
And who is that little fellow on the left, u
asked the Granger, who had began to mani
fest signs of indignation.
