A FIVE DOLLAR TRANSACTION.

Travers-You are a nice friend to have.
Yesterday, when / had sworn to pay Dash
away a debt of honor to the amount of s.,
and sent around to your Office explaining
the whole matter, you paid not the slight
est attention to my request for loan.
Cleverton-Hold on. When you asked
Dashaway first for that money he came
around and borrowed it from me. So yes
terday really paid you SIS, although, of
course, you didn't know it at the time.
Then had you pay Dashaway. Then I
had Dashaway pay me. That cancelled his
debt and yours. Do you see?
Travers-Of course. And that makes US
square.
Cleverton-Not much. You owe me S..
Travers-Not at all. I owed Dashaway
SIS, and he owed you s.. Now 1 paid him
by your own confession the S. owed him,
and through him I paid you the S. that he
owed you. That makes total of $40.
Five dollars of this, however. belonged to
Dashaway. The other s. paid you, but
as you had already lent me So, this made
US square.
Cleverton-No, no. You owed Dashaway
| S., didn't your Well, paid him. So now
YOU owe it to me. What could possibly
| be palmer?
Travers-Well, we'll see about that.
Here comes Dashaway. Say, Dashaway,
did this man pay you the S. l owed you
/ yesterday?
! Dashaway-No, 1 should say not Ihave
| just been looking for you.
Travers Ito Cleverton)-Then what do
you mean by trying to do me out of s5a
Wait a minute waving his handl. I'll
prove it. Now, let us begin all over again,
and start where we were yesterday, before
you tried to mix this thing up. Cleverton,
have you got that same S. bill you had
yesterday?
Cleverton (confused)-Yes, here it is.
Travers-Then just let me have it for a
minute I'm not going to rob you! That's
right. Now, Dashaway, 1 owe you IS
Hands it to Dashawayl. Now [ have paid
you, haven't 1? Now you pay Cleverton
what you owe him. [Das-laway hands the
IS to Cleverton.l Now, Sleverton, Dash
away has paid you the S. he owed you,
hasn't he?
Cleverton-Y-e-s.
J, Travers-And are you anything out by
the transaction? and haven't you got the
same S. you started with? You ought to

A Joke with Variations.
"You ought to get five cents worth of
chloride of lime"

"You ought to get five cents worth of
chloride of lime"
"What for!"
"For Nickel
The above was passed around freely
among a number of St. Paul's citizens,
and was in each case recognized as prac-
teal joke of considerable merit. Acting
upon the suggestion, prominent mer-
chant of this city determined to work it
off on his bookkeeper, with an original
variation. So he said
"You ought to get five cents worth of
potash"
Contrary to the merchants expectations
the taciturn bookkeeper meekly bowed his
head and went on footing his trial balance,
while his employer retired discounted at
the affaire flambee. The next morning he
received note from his bookkeeper to
this effect:
81 took the five cents worth of potash,
and l am as sick as horse" st. Paul

The Animal World Well Inhabited.

In sour paste, the milt Of Goldfish, or
even in water in which vegetables have
been infused, the microscope discovers ami
malculi so small that millions of them
would not equal the size of grain of
wheat, and yet nature, with singular
prodigality, has supplied many of these
with organs as complete as those of q
whale or an elephant. In single ounce
of such matter there are more living crea-
lures than there are human beings on the
face of the globe.-St. Louis Republic.

animal was taken to the station in patrol

booked for burglary and resisting an officer.
An hour later, when the owner of the goat
called at the station, he found the animal

WHERE THE DAY BEGINS.

Where does the day beginf where may it be!
Not on the mountain tops not on the sea!
Somewhere beyond them, somewhere before
them,
Shines the sweet light, ere the morning breaks
DER them.
Peak that is highest island that lest
Farthest away in the purple trimmed sea,
Where does the day begin? where may it be'
Out of the bosom of God comes the day
Flood of his tenderness, nothing can stay!
Love that outspringing sets the world singing,
Steeples ablaze, and the silver bells ringing.
Infinite motion of infinite ocean
Light but the symbol that broadens for aye;
Out of the bosom of God comes the day.

CONVENTION NOTES.

Last night was the first session that
lasted until midnight
The gallery was crowded mostly with
women, but how they did yawn during
the long ballOtng.
The reading clerk read out the counties
too fast for the clerks to record, most of
the time.
The audience was too impatient to hear
the result of the ballOting. Whenever
delegate attempted to announce his
cOunty's vote with OratOrial flOuriSheS,
he was promptly sat down upon.
The chairman'S gavel came down
throughout the ballOting with clOck-like
regularity.
A great number of the delegates are so
hOarSc from continual shouting, that they
have hardly strength enough left to put a
motion.
Jose CasSiano and the balance of the
clique are being continually done up as a
punishment for the clique'S attempt to
run in dark horse in the senatorial con-
test, and all that they can do is to smile a
sickly smile when their favOrite candi-
dates gain few votes.
During the session last night one of the
electric arc lights went out and dele
gate, evidently a hayseed, and ignorant
of what he was mOnkeying with, began
stirring up the carbonS with his cane.
He was mOmentarily expected to drop, but
strange to say, escaped uninjured.

The order of business was then stated
by the chair to be the nomination of land
commissioner. The proceedings were for
some minutes interrupted by the univer-
sal desire of the friends of Mr.. Workman
To shake hands and congratulate him.
The Hon. j. S. Wood, of Kaufman
county, arose and put in nomination for
of the Hon. w. l.. McGaughey. of Hood
county.
The Hon. w. j. Swain then followed,
with the nomination of the Hon. Ed
Linn, Of Victoria, in an able speech.
Judge j. +. Burke, Of Dallas, arose and
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Nc
Gaughey.
The Hon. Judge Smith, of Colorado
county. arose and seconded the nomina-
ton of Col. McGaughey. lie commented
on the tendency to reward devotion to
country on the battlefield by positions IN
civil life, but failed to see that the con-
vention had yet manifested this Senti-
ment, and by reason of the dangers he
had braved the hardShips he had under
gone in the defense of the country, asked
their consideration of his candidacy.
Hon. Oscar BergstrOm, of BeXar cOun-
ty, took the stand, and in an eloquent
speech seconded the nomination of Col.
Linn.
The Hon. Cone johnson, of Hood coun-
ty, then arose and begged the patient in
diligence of the convention for moment.
He wanted to place before the conven-
ton an euphOniOus name, and that of
Jacob McGaughey would fill the bill, and
he nominated him as qualified farmer to
take care of their land.
Capt. w. 5. Fly, of Victoria, arose and
seconded the nomination OF Capt. Ed.
Linn After the conclusion of his address
the chairman announced that further
speaking was out of order and also or
dered the SergeantS- at arms to protect the
men from being crowded out
by the crowd, so that they would not be
interfered with in their work.
The call of the vote was then proceeded
with.
A Squabble arose over the right to cast
the vote of Nolan county, and to avoid
trouble the county was passed. The vot-
ing was for the most part tame, there be-
ing few disturbances, except the din and
noise caused by the lobbyists, which was
very annoying to the secretaries, who
were performing labor of love in work
ing for the convention.
The Nolan county delegation not being
represented on the floor they had instruct
ed proxy To cast the vote but this was
Overruled.
The vote was as follows:
Total vote cast s65: necessary to
choice, 1858.
McGaughey 53S.
Linn 327.
Mr. Butler, on the authority of Mr.
Linn, then arose and withdrew the name
of Mr.. Linn from the race and moved that
the nomination of Mr.. McGaughey be
made unanimous.
This was seconded by Mr.. BergStrOm,
of BeXar county, and was carried amid
uproar that everybody was used to.
Mr.. McGaughey thanked the cOnven-
tion for the honor and promised to stand
by the state in business and by the demo-
cratic party through thick and thin.

Canadian MOrmonS.

OTTAWA, Ont, August 14.-Advices
received by the government from
Southern Alberta, Northwest Terri
tory, are to the effect that the Nor
mons who came into that country
from Utah are corrupting the Indians
with their doctrine. There is every
indication that the Mormon emigra-
ton to the Northwest is liable to
grow into q serious trouble. 1t is
morally certain that thesenew settlers
are practicing polygamy, but it is
most difficult to bring the crime home
to them.
