When we see our friend the Di$p0tch
fishing for the popular side Of the debt
question without seeing that its bait is
going back on it, we are irresistibly re-
minded of that gentle Hoosier Of the up
per Mississippi who gave some noble
Englishmen a Juggling party.
They fioated down the great river all
day in their boats and sampled iire-water
to keep off malaria The jugs tloated
on, each with a line attached to it, and a
hook and live frog-bait on the lower end.
They could see big catfish playfully
gamboling down in the placid bosom OF
the Father of Waters.
The Hoosier tried to explain how that
was the way to catch big cats, but the
English noblemen unanimously eX-
claimed: "Why, the deuce, you know
don't they biteS'
Darn my gizzard, if know said the
perplexed HOosier. But | reckon its
because we don't drink enough.
SO on they tloated all day till the setting
sun cast a faint red glow on the wave
and the pale orb of night came up over
the prairie with a smile on her broad
face.
Here they took in the jugs.
Every frog had climed up on his jug
and had been riding there all day as il
he was on yachting excursion.
B.-The frog is represented by the

The Sinking of the Oregon,

The pilot boat and the small boats had left
the sinking ship with heavy loads Of human
freight, having about one hundred persons
aboard The steamer was settling lower each
minute, the prom being much lower than the
stern, and II seemed that each moment was TO
he the last. We could almost feel the last
cOnvulsiye culver preparatory to the final
plunge. This was exceedingly trying mo
ment. There were no life preservers. as the
heavy sea had carried them overheard. Stand
ing rather apart from the other passengers,
was beautiful girl whose terrified face de-
pictcd the horrors of the fearful experience
A tail, handsome young man stood beside her
with his arm tenderly encircling her slender
waist He was evidently trying to comfort her
with hopes of rescue: but the sweet creature
saw TO plainly that unless something unlocked
for should occur they would soon lie at the
bottom of the great ocean, far away from
sweet home and dear friends. The young fe-
low was about TO tell his sweetheart that they
were lost when one of the sailors raised n loud
cry, and looking over the bow of the boat the
passengers saw something dark standing out
toward them, and as the vessel drttted little
nearer. all saw that II was "A great sign hang
ing suspended to something, and upon the sign
were these words: Emerson holds the bridge
to help the folks over" and in n few minutes
they all stood safely upon old mother earth.
They all shook hands with Uncle Emerson"
and many of them accepted the assistance he
offered as they had lost all their effects on the
sinking ship. o.
