| Editors FIOr5dian. | have grievance and ash
| the opportunity through your columns to give il
expression. l am an humble employee of the
Senate and as such perform my duties with all
my ardor as Democrat and all my patriotism
as a citizen of Florida. The reverend gen tie
man who off1ciates as Chaplain of the Senate, in
his opening prayer, ably and eloquently asks the
divine blessings upon and for the Senators, indi
vidually and colectively-that their proceedings
be marked with decorum and their councils by
wisdom, that all they do may rebound to the
benefit OF our State and the glory of our Creator.
Now whether it is because, like the little boy
who when asked how far he had progressed in his
Catcchsm, replied that "he was past redemp
tion," or whether the employees of the Senate
are really too good to require the prayers of the
righteous, ii is certainly the fact that no suppli-
cation is offered in behalf no assistance is
asked for us in the arduous duties of respective
positions. This, Mr.. Editor, is our grievance,
and now that it is ventilated feel relieved and
whether we are prayed for or not, we will at least
perform our duties religiousy.

A Fish Story Which Secured to the MARI
rator the Champions Belt.
TSan Francisco AIta7

San Francisco Alta.
Half dozen anglers met in fishing
tackle store the other afternoon. All had
been to the country and all had a fish story
to tell.
Did you ever read that story about
man blowing up the carp in the bottom of
an old pond, or rather where pond had
existed year beforew asked Mr.. Willard.
''Yes and the carp were alive" assented
Mr.. Josselyn.
"The carp is singularly tenacious of
life" remarked Mr.. Ziegler. 81 remember
once catching basket of carp and bring
ing them home. But was suddenly called
away, and the basket remained in my bug
gy for five days. On my return I found
every fish alive, and as strong as when
taken out of the water"
A grim silence followed Mr.. Ziegler's
statement, at last broken by Mr.. Green,
who inquired: "How many days, sir?"

Ziegler, sternly.

an abrupt halt.
GO on, Charley, y said Mr.. Willard, "and
what connection has a sea eel with Jer-
sey cow"
''Ah, that's where the point comes il"
said Mr.. Green. 'The week after that eel
was flung away both cows went dry. I
thought this very strange and, indeed,
suspected my neighbors of milking them
| in the night. One evening determined to
watch for myself-but what is the use OF
telling you fellows, you wouldn't believe
me-"

swell, gentlemen, swear that at 1880
| on that night I saw with my own eyes that
eel rise out of the grass, and fasten on to
the cows udder. AS soon as he MIXED
her dry, he tackled the other, and"
"That will do" said the proprietor OF
the store quietly. 'sNot another sentence,
Mr.. Green; the belt is yours" and he
handed that gentleman large leather
belt with an ornamental buckle, which Mr..
Green fitted on with much modesty. The
other anglers exchanged glances of mourn"

the store; the proprietor resumed the var"

that Coffin.

During the engagement of q cele-
brated tragedian at the Theatre Royal,
Northampton, some years ago. the
following incident occurred On the
Friday night the tragedian was playing
Richard III. for his benefit, and when
the funeral procession came on to the
stage one of the supers was seized with
a violent fit of coughing. which he was
unable to subdue. much to the stars an
noyance. At last in stage whisper he
Kissed out: ''Go off with that cough.
ingm The two attendants, much sur
prlsed, took up the coffin and marched
solemnly off, but were Immediately sent
back by the prompter. A few seconds
later the cough started again, and Rich
ard turned once more and said Didn't
tell you 10 20 off with that coughingg"
OFF trotted the attendants for the second
time. BY this time the audience, who
were becoming more interested with the
extraordinary entrance and exits of the
dead king than with Richard himself.
were amused to see Richard walk to- the
back of the stage and call out, this time
aloud: "Will you send those fools on
with the cotfinl" But the climax was
reached when the attendants marched on
right to the footlights, placed the coffin
at the feet of Richard, bowed gravely,
first to him and then to the audience,
and retired.
