An Arab came to the river side
With a donkey bearing an obelisk;
But he would not try to ford the tide,
For he had too good an

He would never find Its

In the morning he thought to ford the

coal stove that seemed bent on
making it as unpleasant for him
as possible, by raising blistsrs on
his legs.
Not a murmur had escaped the
lips of Jake, and when he was led
out the man with the hollow voice
said: "Dear brother, you have

not been eradicated from his mind.

the dentist, he leaned back and
opened his mouth. Grasping q pair

led to one Of Jakie's back teeth,
and commenced to yank while his
assistant held the victims head
down. This was too much for the

forceps, and he commenced to
struggle. In his efforts to get

A Joke on Jake.

ceived the idea Of playing a joke
on Jake. He proposed to initiate
him into the society of 'gThe Uni.

sist of ten members, who were to
be bound by oaths Of the most sa-
cred character to stand by each
other in case Of financial cmbar-
rassment or other trouble. Of
course the society was hoax
the idea was to get Jake to pay
$50 initiation, aud while he was
blindfoldcd aud bound preparato-
~ to being led into the mysteries
of the order, to submit him to

RlVsF ronEsallsu Resolutions.

RlveF csnEeaslsn Resolutions.
Resolved Ist. That the interests
for which the convention ls au.
thorized TO speak are entitled to
the highest degree Of eonsidera-
tion from
THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE
to which is entrusted, by the Con-
stitution, the regulation of CON-
meree between the States, as well
as the promotion of the general
welfare. The domestic commerce
affected is already one-half that Of
the whole United States, more
than twelve times greater than
the total foreign commerce of the
nation, and larger than the total
foreign commerce Of the world.
Upon this vast commerce has
been levied year by year a direct
and wasteful tax, enormous in
amount by way Of increased
freights, insurance, demurrage,
wrecks and repairs, caused by
sandbars, snags, treacherous
banks, and other obstacles to
safe and easy navigation of the
Mississippi River and it's naviga-
BILE tributaries. No exercise of
the power of Congress can be
more legitimate or more just than
to relieve that commerce, and the
immense varied industries which
support 1t from such needless bur-
dens, BY removing these obstacles
to Navigation. To acquire these
great waterways and the vast ter.
ritory they dram, was a triumph
OF early American statesmanship
to restrain their mighty floods and
direct their resistless energies
should be the achievement OF the
latest science. II ls for states
manship to complete that triumph
by calling that science permanent
'y to its aid.
Resolved "a. That we earnestly
re'afirm the declaration OF the
River improvement Convention
which met ~ St. Louis IN October,
IN 1881, that It Is the manifest and
imperative
DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT
to cause to be made such improve
ments to the Mississippi River
and navigable tributaries a. shall
permanently secnre the safe and
easy navigation thereof Espe'
cially Is this duty obvious, and
our demand justified, In view ol
the donations already made By
