TIE PREsIDEN rig MESSAGE.
President Harrison has sent /

) his second message to Congress
The document is quite lengthy
and about of such material as VIZ
could naturally expect from sucl
a source. The message claim.
that our foreign relations are good
but still it admits that there is vel
some misunderstanding with Great
Britain growing out of the Seal
Fisheries, which are yet to be set
tied. He also claims that the DOS.
tai service is in agood condition.
In that he is very near right, but
we cannot say that the present ad.
ministration is entitled to a great
deal of credit for it, for our postal
service has been good for a long
time, The President appears to
be quite proud of our new war
ships which were ordered built
under a Democratic administra-
ton and are now being completed.
Well, we hope they may turn out
to be something to be proud of.
But the best joke of Mr.. Harri.
son is, land we never knew he was
a joker before), that 'the present
high tariff is a blessing in disguise
But when the disguise is to be
thrown off he does not tell us. 1t
is our opinion that it would have
been we'll to have lifted the veil
awhile before the November cleo
tons. 1t is certain that the great
mass of the people never got a
peep at its beautiful features, or
the election returns would have
been very different. The Presi-
seems apprehensive that some
radical and sudden changes in the
tariff as it now exists would be
very detrimental TO the commerce
Of the country, and would be pro-
duciye of the most dire conse.
quences. He insists that 1t houid

easy, for the nexl Congress will be

good thing when they see it, and

hey will apply the remedy, great
manufacturers and monopolists to

A Texas Horse Trader.

There is colored man in Austin,
Texas, by the name of Sam Johnsing.
He has some money which he has made
trading horses, at which business he is
an expert. One day Judge Peterby saw
Johnsing trading with an itinerant
horse dealer. Having some curiosity to
know how Sam came out in the trade,
he asked him:
"Did you sell that fellow your
horse?"
IL did, boss, for fac'."
GLOW much did you get9"
"Twenty dollars"
"Only twenty dollarsl Why, you
are fool. That's valuable horse"
"Lemme tell you somethin', boss.
Dat hoss is lame"
Judge Peterby happened to meet the
horse trader afterwards, and said to
him:
$50 you paid twenty dollars for that
horse?"

"You have been swindled. The horse

II know the horse is lame, but it

Half an hour afterwards Judge
Peterby met Sam.

CHAPTER XIX.
How TT ENDED.

The experience Of Ralph Courtenay
and his wife after the pardon was but q
repetition of that which has occurred
thousands Of times, the world over.
The world does so love success---it
likes to array itself ON the popular side,
and make haste to congratulate rising
man. Ralph Courtenay, freed from his
bonds, perfectly justified, with the free
pardon of the crown in his pocket, was q
very different person from Ralph Cour-
tenay persecuted, bounded to the very
shadow Of the gallows, deserted by all
but his counsel, good Mrs. Grayson, and
his heroic wife.
The War Office speedily hastened to
acknowledge its wrong Captain Ralph
Courtenay, said the general order. which
was read oil ever the world, wherever
*The system Of forcible irnpressment Of
men to be seaman in the British navy is a thing
Of the past. Its shocking oruelties would never
be tolerated by the English people Of this day.
The system, if not supported by law, was winked
at and overlooked by the authorities, at a time
when the navy was the right arm OF British
power, and when anything could be suffered fol
the efficiency of that service The most fright
full outragea were perpetrated by the armed
press-gangs Of that day. Not only were sailorf
of merchant vessels forcibly impressed, but citi
zens, mechanics unwary farmers, were seized
and hurried off to the war-ships, without i
chance tocommunicate with their families.

CHAPTER XVII.

HOW TIE CAPTAIN WAS SAVED.
The tickle crowd, disappointed in the
CHASTITY spectacle they had come to see,
were now disposed to make hero of him
whose death they had wanted to witness.
They swarmed upon the platform to shake
hands with him; but the Sheriff, getting
him and the sailor into his coach. had it
driven rapidly to the inn.
The meeting, the reunion that follow
ed, are not to be described. Who could
venture with pen, pencil or tongue to
portray that scene?
In the evening of that brief December
day quiet, thankful party, secluded from
the noise and confusion that still filed
the streets of Chelmsford over the events
of the day, dined together at the Star
and Crown inn. There were Captain
Courtenay and his wife, Mrs. Grayson,
Mr.. Lascelle, and bluff Absalom Bright.
Dinner over, they withdrew to private
parlor which the lawyer had secured for
the occasion.
@Now, Mr.. Bright, !" he said, when all
we're seated, please redeem your prom
ise, and tell us about this strange affair.
I suppose you are the only man in Eng
land who knows all about it; and be-
lieve, from the little you have let drop to
me amid all this excitement and agitation,
that if you could have been produced as q
witness at the trial our friend here would
have been acquitted promptly"
That's all true. your honor, and glad
I'd have been to speak for him that day
what knew. But the Hero was tumbling
about off Rochefort then, and it wasn't
till weeks after that knew anything Of
what was Ooinp on here.
"You have saved my life, noble fellow
that you arel" Courtenay exclaimed.
@And minel" added Blanche. Il have
been as near death as Ralph"
why, Lord love you, Captain, and
you, too, pretty madam" laughed the
boatswain; you almost make me feel
too bashful to begin the story at all. If
hadn't got here in time never sound
nights rest would Absalom Bright have
known again, ahoat or ashore. Well, here
goes for the story.
First, I'll tell you how I happened to
be here, when the Hero is still cruising
about the Bay Of Biscay.
at was late in October that supply
ship came down to our fleet. The purser
brought q large mail, with manv news
papers, for the officers. Our Captain is

was half q day in his cabin, going
through bundle Of the London and
Liverpool gazettes.
Presently the word was passed that
the bos'n was wanted in the Captains
cabin.
Il went down, and there was the 'old
man walking about in high state Of
mind.
a'Read that, Mr.. Bright, he says
handing me paper, and marking the
place with his finger.
Il read; and never do I expect to be SC
astonished again while I live. After
ward I cut out the piece; wouldn't won,

around and read. 1t was as follows:
