He Guyed the Wrong Man
New Haven Register


President Porter took spin on Lake
Whitney in shell yesterday afternoon
The noted scholar often makes she'll fly
over the waters of a lake. Not long ago
his presence on the lake caused consider
able discontinue to two freshmen Of the
college, who we're decidedly of this class
in manner as we'll as name. President
Porter was rowing up the lake one after
noon, and but little way behind him
were two pretty girls struggling with the
oars. The two freshmen came rowing up
behind, and nothing but the presidents
back being visible, one of them shouted
out:
Say, old man, why don't you take the
girls in tow"
The students soon after rOwed into the
boat-hOuse. Their remark was heard by
the boat-house proprietor, who said to
them:
young men, do you know who that old
gentleman was you shouted at?"
NO." they answered in nonchalant
sort of way.
''Well, young men, that was President
Porter"
The feelings of the smart young men
as they quickly escaped from the boat
house can better be imagined than de-
scribed.

now upon US in degree not equaled before.
Not only the whole British race but
the whole civilized mankind testifies the
livliest interest in the question. If as I
have every reason to believe the verdict
is favorable to the people of Ireland there
will be nothing else than a thrill of Joy
throughout the civilized world. I place
before you this noble object.s Human
sympathy combined with justice COM
mends 1T to your deep elaboration, for

Mosquitoes in Alaska.
San Francisco Call.

j. A. Johnson well known mining ex-
pert, returned from Alaska a few days
ago. Mr.. johnson has been examining a
mine on Douglass Island, supposed to be
an extension of the Alaska mine, in the
interest of some French capitalists. He
brought with him some ore specimens
which indicate the mineral wealth of that
region.
Next to the rich ore," said Mr.. John
son, ''what [ struck the most forcibly was
the mosquitoes. Why, sir, they kill the
bears. Now it seems strange that mos
quito could kill bear, but this is the way
it is done. The bear comes down from
the hills into the marsh land to feed on
roots and berries-a sort of cranberry
found there. As soon as they get com
fortably to work the mosquitoes attack
them and go for their eyes. The bears
get up on their hind legs to fight them off
and sink into the swamp. The mosquitoes
which are of an extraordinary size, keep
at them until they are totally blind, and
then they have them completely at
their mercy. I have seen over a dozen
bear carcasses in those swamps positively
killed by mosquitoes.
