correspondence with Coil, in which the
amount of $40 so was involved, and the
money-crder being for the amount of
$40 90, Cone naturally supposed the order
was intended for himself. However. the
order was iuclosed with a letter addressed
TO c. s. Houghton. and thinking perhaps a
mistake had been made, Cone called Upon
Houghton al his place of business, but

Senator Vest made a savage attack on the

largest manufacturer of structural iron and

Is UNCLE SAM A COWARD?
Senator Frye's Scathing De3unciatIon of
Our Samoan Policy.

Our Samoan Policy.
WASHINGTON, December 10th.-In pre-
senting his resolution on the Samoan
question in the Senate to-day. FRYE re-
viewed the recent history of German opera
tons in that direction. In the course of
his remarks he said there was no reason
to doubt that Germany intended to take
absolute possession of those islands. And
why, he asked, should she not? Great
Britain had interposed no objection TO her
past action, and the United States had
done absolutely nothing within the last
five or six months in regard to it. Why,
then, should not Germany assume that the
United States and Great Britain were ready
to permit her to take possession Of the
islands? Germany undoubtedly intended
to do so and 10 raise the German
flag over them. It was undoubtedly
Frye remarked, sarcastically and bitterly
proper TO fit ouJ ships of war and send
them down against the poor miserable little
republic of Hayti. 1t was well enough for
the great American Republic-when Mex
leo took and imprisoned some American
tramp-to threaten war and even 60 to the
very ragged edge of it. But would it not
be more consistent with the dignity and
power of this great republic to protect the
rights OF her citizens against her equals
against country like England or country
like Germany? One vessel, he said, had
been seized in Hayti, but hundred had
been seized in Canada. One was backed
by Great Britain, and the other by no one
In his opinion, the American people de-
manded that if its power was to be shown
it should be shown against its equals, and
not against its interiors He asked for the
present consideration of the resolution, and
he hoped the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations would be active and industrious in
finding out the condition of things in those
islands and what the duty of the United
States required.

Serious Charges Against Federal Officials
in Utah

WASHINGTON, December 10th.-If the
facts, ms reported to the Senate to-day by
Mr.. Edmunds, be true, there will be a
lively investigation of the Federal officials
in Utah, and polygamy will be declared to
have forfeited its property in the Church
of Latter Day Saints. He has been in
formed that the Judge in Utah had ap-
pointed the Marshal of that Terri
tory as Receiver of such property ::
that the Marshal had employed as his
private and personal counsel in the Receiv-
ship the District Attorney of the United
States; that some of the property had been
sold and a fund opened; that enormous
and exorbitant allowances were demanded
for the services of the Receiver and his
counsel. and that the School Board, for
whose benefit the property had been for
feited, had been obliged to employ counsel
to resist such demands. A resolution was
adopted calling on the Attorney General
for information about these charges.

Ew "BrTTERN COON HUNT1N.- .. >,
Pleasures of seasonabIe yagabondism.

A well-to-do old farmer, in one Of the
best counties of Middle Tennessee, owned
large number OF slaves, and among
them one old darkey about his own age,
and whom he had known all his life.
In fact, he was one of the cold family
negroes brought out from Virginia.
Old "Sam" was faithful, docile
creature, great favorlte with his master,
and a sort of privileged character on the
plantation. The old fellow was indus
trious and exemplary In his behavior all
the year round, except during that period
dating from the time when roasting-ears
begin to ripen and the earliest appear
ance OF frost.
Sam was invariably seized at that
period with an invincible desire to "run
away" 1t required as regular as fit
of Ebay fever" was as incurable, and
like that unpleasant disorder could only
be treated by change of air and locality.
Sam, understanding this, preferred to
take his case in his own hands and adj
minister the treatment In his own dis
erection.
OF course, in such case, the usual
punishment inflicted on RUNAWAY Mig
gers was not to be thought Of. Remon-
STRANGE was unavailing. Sam declared,
HE jes' couldn't hep hissef," and it
"
ment, that he should go, and that the
neighborhood should condone his raids
on corn-fields and potato patches.
After many such eScapadeS, his old
master asked him on one occasion, when
the matter was under discussion:
"Sam, do you really enjoy running
away?'
"Deed, Marse john" said Sam, 1T
does. Hits de moas fun in de wurr.
Coon huntin amt 10 whars to hit"
"Well, thcn," said Marse John, Gust
let me know the next time you take a
notion to start, and Ill SO with you, and
try it awhile myself"
up, saying:
"Old Marse; de times mighty nigh
when I'bleeged to lite out. Ell you guine
wild me, you better be gittin reddy, for
when de time comes l got to go quick"
"Old Marse" kept a bright lookout,
and when Sam started ne was on hand.
They had a delightful time. They
fished occasionally, caught possums,
robbed orchards and watermelon and
potato patches, picked blackberries for
recreation, and haunted the grcenest and
shadiest hooks of the forest, all OF which
Sam knew we'll "Old Marse" had never
enjoyed the summer so much. In fact,
he was so much pleased that regularly
afterward he accompanied Sam when the
latter went into annual retreat.
At length Sam died. The old master
grieved for him sincerely. He was sad
also over the reflection that his summer
pastlme would in future be denied him.
But to the amazement of all his friends,
and not less his own, when rOaSting-ear
time came again, the fit seized him as
strong as ever, and he ran away by him.
