CHAPTER ".
THE LAST ROUND.

"0n the morrow | woke up full of painful
recollections, and not without certain feel
ing of gratitude to the Powers above that
was there to wake up. Yesterday had been
a tempestuous day; indeed, what between
buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant, it had been
very tempestuous. Having realized this fact,
/ next bethought me of those magnificent
tusks, and instantly, early as it was, broke
the tenth commandment. | coveted my
neighbours tuslzs, if an elephant could be SAID
to be my neighbor de jure, as certainly, so
recently as the previous night, he had been
de facto-a much closer neighbor than cared
for, indeed. Now, when you covet your
neigbbor's goods, the best thing, if not the
most moral thing, to do is to enter his house
as strong man armed and take them. l
was not a strong man, but, having recovered
my eight bore, was armed, and so was the
other strong man, the elephant with the tusks.
Consequently prepared for a struggle to the
death. In other words, l summoned my
faithful re5ainers, and told them that was
now going to follow those elephants over the
edge of the world, If necessary. They showed
a certain bashfulness about the business, but
they did not gainsay me, because they dared
not. Ever since l had prepared with all due
solemnity 10 execute the rebellious Gobo they
had conceived great respect for me.

An Old Darky Who Believed in Resting

| as Well Working.
My last experience was with little,
robust old darkey known in our town
as Uncle Scip. | hired him to spade
up my wife's flower ga.len, a task any
half active man would have completed
in half day.
Uncle Scip said he would "drap
round" and "frow up dat dirt in
bout fo'ty minnits." He didn't know
but he'd come around and do it some
morning befo' breakfus, jess TO de ex-
ercise.
He came instead at half past eight
one morning when every body else had
their seeds in. was doing some work
at home that day, | said:
Hurry up, Uncle; my wife wants to
get her seeds in the ground to-day.
"Yes, sab, yes, sab; I'll hab it done
in less n no time now"
Half an hour later / went out and
found the spade sticking up in the
ground and three or four shovels of
dirt thrown up.
Here, Uncle Scip," said, "this
won't do; you must work faster"
Eyes, sab; yes sab; was jess resin

He seized the spade, made the dirt
fly while | was in sight, and in ten
minutes was lying fiat on his back
under an apple tree.

Huh. say! Guess yo' don't know
old Unc' Scip, does yo'P I'd go hide
my head if couldn't spade up dat little
gyarden spot in an hour
AT the end Of an hour he had spaded
space about six feet square, and was
sitting down with his back to the fence,
tanning himself with his hat.

cried out Of window.
Yes, sab; yes, sab; soon's ! res up

He spaded two feet more and began

how he was getting along. Don tyo'

He rested up" steadily until half
past ten o'clock. Then a crony, as
tired as himself. came around and they
''rested together in "a sunny corner Of
the lawn until eleven o clock; then
went out and said:
"See here, Scip. either go to work
and finish this spading or clear out and
let some one else do it.

SIGH a to-do bout little job like dat.
I'll git dat done in less'n no time now"
He seized the spade with great alac-

RICHARD II. SYLVESTER. ,..... Editor
WASHINGTON, sEPTEMBER11 II, 1888.

Mr. SuERMAN's speech in the Senate
yesterday upon reconsidering the vote
by which the Chinese Exclusion bill was
passed the other day, and referring the
whole subject to the Foreign Affairs
Committee, was a truly statesmanlike
and patriotic etTort-involving an appeal
to the Governments sense of honor, of
which the Senate must be dull indeed,
upon q sober second thought, not to re-
alizc the force.
As we understand the position of the
Ohio Senator, it is that the Senate having
once ratified a treaty with China, cannot
rightfully or consistently abrogate it
while the acceptance or rejection of the
treaty by the Emperor is still pending
with still less righteousness or con-
sistency pass stringent act of exclusion
which 'the Chinese Government might
with great propriety, and with proper re-
gard to established usages, put an end
entirely to all our treaty relations and all
our commercial relations with that great
country"
In regard to what is sometimes said,
and what indeed had been said in the
Senate during the progress of the present
debate, that the Chinese are "too slow"
in their consideration of the negota-
tions submitted to them, Mr.. Sherman
continued:
There are 8, 900 miles between us. Telegra-
phic communication is not always to be had
and is very unsatisfactory. Here is a peculiar
nation a peculiar government with great deal
of form and red tape. Suppose they should
take little longer time than we deem neces
sary. They have not, indeed, taken as much
time as the Senate OF the United States took to
consider any one of dozen treaties that have
been ratified at the present session. In some
cases we have ratified treaties that have lain
on our tables two years; and now because the
Chinese Government has not promptly come uI
TO the extreme measure contained in the recent
treaty we will give them no longer time, they
have had enough time, and therefore we will &c
to work and abolish and abrogate all our trea
ties with them, IL will not do. IL is not con
sstent with good faith, with national honor
and therefore insist upon it so far as my yot,
will go and my voice can 60 that this bill re
main here in the position in which II is, the mos
favorable possible when single vote can a
any moment pass it, until we know whether oI
not the treaty we have sent them has beer
ratified.

THE country is thoroughly aroused at
last as to the necessity Of extending lib
eral pecuniary assistance TO the fever
stricken city of Jacksonville, and the
contingency is not to be entertained for q
moment that there will be any lack Of
funds for supporting the authorities in
their care for the sick and provisions for
the unemployed and destitute. The great
difficulty consists in the procurement of
physicians and nurses, who are familiar
with the disease and thoroughly accli
mated. All Others, though thousands
throughout the North would doubtless
take the chances in the spirit of gen
erous martyrdom, would but aggravate
the situation. TO encourage the incoming

TIE CATHOLICS and Protestants Of
Massachusetts are getting themselves
into difficulties. In Maiden the Arch
bishop has ordered that Catholic chill
drcn be sent to parochial schools on
pain Of SIM" which sounds very
much like an echo from the Inquisi-
tion, and in Boston the Protestants
are demanding that attendance upon
the public schools be made compulsory
to all children, which sounds very much
like an echo from John Calvin's bigotry.
What the Catholics and Protestants of
Massachusetts need is a sufIiciency of

"No, not exactly, Daniel. But somehow

In REGARD To THE street-sweeping
question there is but one way to settle it,
and we do not see that its solution should
be attended with any great difficulty.
The contractor should be allowed suffi-
ciently large appropriation to do the work
effectively, and leave him reasonable
profit for his services. The question is
not whether the price should be 25 or &c
or 30 cents thousand yards, but at wha,
price can the streets be kept clean. That
they have not been properly cared for in
this respect for several years past is OBJ
vious. That they should be is a propo-
