The National Republican has the
following concerning ex-Congressmau
Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree, who
was in Washington this week day
or two in company with John w.
Mackey.
A. he got aboard a west-bound train
last night to begin a journey to Cali
fornia. Col Ochiltree said: THE po-
litical arena Will know me no more
forever. You see me and Mackey have
some new railroads to look after that
viii occupy my time for the next ten
years and ] viii have no leisure for
politics. When man has 400, 600 to
600, 90 miles OF railroads to build he
has no taste for ward meetings and
party conventions.
"Why. colonel, p" asked a bvstander,
'"isn { that figure a little steep?'
Steep, the deyili' exclaimed the
rubicund Texan. why. that isn't

to do. | put the figures low because |

and the whistle of our locomotive will
make continuous roar along the con-
fines of that God-forsaken country
from Bagdad to Guaymas, and from

sir" But just then the coloneIs
train began to move westward, and the
graphic picture of what he and Mackey
propose to do in railroad construction
remains incomplete.

Near Enough

During the campaign of a certain
Regiment at Santa Rosa the pickets, as
is apt to be the case during short sea
sons of inactivity, found considerable
difficulty in preventing the men from
abseutiug themselves without leave. In
the anecdote related below, the soldier
on picket duty showed a want of honor,
but he had a practical knowledge of
medical lore quite applicable to has
needs:
One particularly sultry evening,
while the sentinels were pacing their
beats their mouths dry aud parched, and
their bodies almost overpowered with
heat and wondering if the privates in the
mess tent would drink every last drop
of lemonade before the relief came
one of the guards observed a private

"Haint got no countersign," amiabiy

Pretty soon the officer of the day
came round and said to the sentinel who
WAS munching big piece of watermelon
stuck on the end of his bayonet-

"Yessir."
"Did he give the counteIsign p in
quired the lieutenant, taking bite
himself, as the man presented arms.
"Well no sir" said the sentinel, con
idently, the pass word is Cholera, but
he said Watermelon so ! passed him
and put the other half in your tent.

From Bad to w orse.

Uncharitable remarks and careless,
uncalled for criticisms often have most
embarrassing reflex action on the person
making them. If such things need be
said, as they sometimes seem TO be, 1t Is
at least wiser to keep them from the ear
of ar intimate friend. Having blunder-
ed. erson often blunders more deeply
in his struggle to extricate himself and
repair his n istakes, as the following
examples well illustrate;
At an art exhibition, gentleman
remarked to a stranger standing beside
him, THAT picture of KS Is fearful
daub, don't you think soY
The gentleman addressed, Il beg your
pardon, but | am the artist.
ooh, ! beg ten thousand pardons
The fact, | don't know anything about
art-I Just repeat what | hear every one
saying"
A critic dropped into studio in Paris
one dav. stopped before the portrait OF
lady on the easel, and remarked
'.But why did you take such an ugly
model?r
at is my mother" calmly replied tbs
artist.
"oh, pardon thousand tines saiC

At an English reception gentleman
said to Lord North. "Who is that fright

The other, to repair his blunder, said
II did not mean her, but that monste

"Oh," said Lord North, "that monste
