Farragut and tho Iron. Clads.

On the I'd of July, Admiral Davis
with the upper fleet, came down and
anchored in the stream alongside Far
raguts ships. 1t was great event
The square-rigged sailors had never seen
river iron-clad, and many of the river
boatmen had never seen a square rugged
ship. Both fleets were objects of curl
osity. Even farragut fell curious to 90
on board the ironclads. To crafty him.
Admiral Davis one day proposed q re-
connoisance in the Benton. Farragut
readily accepted, and with most of his
staff went on board. The Benton
dropped down the river until she got
well under fire. Farragut was with the
rest on the gun deck watching the guns
and peeping out of the casemate.
1t was his first experience under fire
in an iron-clad, and it was his last. His
sailor prejudice against that style of
fighting was not dissipated. The fire
of the forts had hardly been drawn be-
fore heavy shot from an English rifle
crashed through the Benton's armor
starting the oak backing and scattering
Splinters in all directions. The old be.
lever in wooden ships gave little
grunt, and then, with comical look at
Davis, said Pardon me, admiral.
Everybody to his taste, but am going
on deck. don't like being shut up in
a box" And he went up on deck and
no amount Of persuasion could make
him leave it until the boat was hauled
| out of fire.

The FOol-Killer.

l sometimes think that if the fool
killer would give a little more attention
to his business and would try little
harder to earn his salary there would be
less complaint and less dissatisfaction
on the part of the intelligent taxpayer.
Now, for instance, suppose that he
should, prior to each election, hold
kind of competitive examination of fools,
to close with grand tournament and
fool shoot at thirty yards rise; or the
fool could be made to pay each year for
license, the revenue to go to the
government, partial fools to pay $50
license, chronic fools 500 and hopeless
fools $500 per year. I'd like to be
instrumental in getting such a law
passed, and then get out of the country

might by proper feeding be served with
the correct lavor wholly permeating it.
Onions for beefsteak and onions; sage
and onions for duck; geese or swine fed
with apples would be already prepared

are said to give their pigs and cattle

THE SOUTH SIDE.


In the approaching city election the South
Side is especially interested in the nomination
by both parties of the best attainable men.
1t is not favored region in city legislation,
and never has been, partly because it has been
largely controlled in its primary meetings by
Democratic party grubbers and ward bum
mers, through whom has come too often
class of councilmen who did little service
and no credit, and partly because its separation
by the frequently impossible barrier Of the
Union tracks from the larger section of the
city has made it sort of ''no mans land, " to
be appropriated by the railway companies
pretty much as they pleased. So many Of its
residents are engaged in one or the other of a
few leading industries, railroading, pork pack
ing, wood and metal working, that they are a
sort of association of clans, and are thus more
readily managed in the interest of some
special industrial influence than they would
be if their situation were changed Thus it
has come that city legislation has not done that
section justice in the public improvements it
needs, nor in the protection it pays for 1t
suffers from the sewage of the river that can't
get to the water; from the sewage of Ray
street that spreads over the creek bed for
half mile to the river; from the foul outflow
of Sullivans poultry house whether he or
the city is to blame, the South Side bears the
burden); from the natural course of subterra-
mean water streams that carry all the foul
ness that penetrate to them down by the
southwest current to ruin wells and help dis
ease; from the depredations of Juvenile thieves
who have made it impossible for any man to
be sure Of any crop of fruit or any stock of
poultry; from the increasing annoyance of
steam whistles and bowling hucksters, as
abomnable as they are useless. With men of
character and brains from the lower wards in
the Council many or all of these evils can be
removed or alleviated. They can not be with
men who are the agents of corruption, if not
its recipients, or men whose heads are carried
in the pockets Of big corporations. No more
men who will openly or secretly stand as the
agents Of monopoly, and no more of those who
will boast Of their own baseness in helping
such interests, are wanted any where, and,
least Of all, in the South Side.
