A few wears ago the Second district OF
Mississippi was represented in Congress
bv General Chalmers, a renegade. While
he was not so bad man as Malone, in
many respects he was like the Virginia
outcast.-- Tie State.
OF course, the complexion and likeness
are the same The features Of any po-
litical outcast in the South bear the same
cast of expression, which is the bilious
disappointment resulting from the dis
orders Of a guilty stomach. The Ma
homes, and Chalmerses, and all that gang,
illustrate the spite of men who, lacking
the respect OF their brethren, go and sell
out their home to the market of political
prostitution.
The fate Of such men is dishonor, and
the men they sell out to despise them
just as much as those they seek to betray-
These individuals, who hypothicate
abuse of their own people to get prefer
ment from the enemy, think that they
are smart, but time gets itself even with
them, and their final portion will be gen
eral contempt

During the sun spot maximum Of 1888
1916 the great lakes were at very high
levels. Ontario's waters were so high as
to submerge docks at Irondequoit bay.
During the present sun spot minimum
the lake Is low. This year the lake j.
two feet lower than it was last year.
Capt. Palfrey, OF the United States en-
gineers, made statement Of the present
low condition of the lake before the
chamber Of commerce Monday evening.
The Democrat and Chronicle called at
tention to the high water in connection
with maximum sun spots during the
maximum. During the high water lake
storms were very destructive. Their
force was increased by the solar activity
and the waves reached further, eating
into the bluffs of the south shore, causing
serious damage TO property at many
points. Several buildings were under
mined at Sea Breeze and the tracks of
the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensbure
roilway were encroached upon for long
distance west Of Sea Breeze.
a gentleman residing in Perry states
that Silver Lake is now so low as 10 cause
serious alarm. The outlet has dried up
and the surplus waters are discharged by
evaporation alone. Silver Lake follows
the general rule of pcriodicity in high
and low water, corresponding with the
sun spot maximum and minimum.

Painfully Witty.

There is no occasion which presents
such terrible advantage to the practical
joker as that of a sea voyage, and there
is none on which his iooosities become
more unbearable. The following in
cident cmbodies one nf his most am
bilious efforts:
When we were in the middle of tho
Gulf of st. Lawrence and the nearest
coast was two hundred miles away,
Yankee quietly remarked;
wal, l guess we are quite close to
land now. Ii Amt more'n three-quar
tiers Of mile away, nohow."
Personally we took no interest in
facts of this nature, and were content
to sit and believe, but many excited
travellers dashed out of the smoking
room TO have a look at the long hoped
for continent. They presently came
back, in the worst of tempers, saying
that the charts and all other authori-
