THE SWORDFISH WAS A FIGHTER.
Providence Journal.
The schooner Matte and Lena, of
Stonington, arrived home Saturday after
a four days cruise. The crew of four
men report catch of seventeen fish, ag-
gregating six tons, and also tell story
of desperate fight with wounded fish
and the narrow escape of one of the
crew. The iron had been darted into a
fish weighing about 500 pounds, and it
had been raging about the schooner for
some time, when Captain Clark thought
it was nearly dead and lowered the small
boat to secure his prize. AS he approach
ed the fish it made sudden rush toward
the boat, but the first charge was unsuc-
cessful, as the men managed to thwart
its design by getting on one side. With
new desperation it made another circle
and came for the frail craft with sud-
den plunge that came near sealing the
fate of Joshua Clark, as it plunged its
sword through the bottom of the boat
and through Clark's leg, pinning him to
the seat upon which he was. With the
help of another member of the crew,
who was assisting Mr.. Clark, he was re-
leased and the fish secured.

A NEW THING IN GAS-BILL STORIES.
Chicago Times.
Last summer friend of mine went to
house keeping in one of those abomina-
BILE constructions, a fiat. There were
gas fixtures in the rooms and he applied
for light. The company. through one
of its clerks, informed him that he would
have to make deposit, so that if he
ran away with the meter the company
wouldn't lose anything. He asked how
much he must leave and the clerk said
SO. The young man expressed some
surprise at this for several reasons, one
of which was that the amount was equal
to one-half his rent. After some expla-
nations to the effect that the applicant
was not going to keep boarders or room
ers, and that he wouldn't sit up after
certain hour at night, the clerk accept
ed S. deposit and the gas was "turned
on" The lst of May the tenant of the
aforesaid abominable construction
fat-moved out. He was told by law
yer, friend, that he had better notify
the company he had moved. The young
man said he didn't know that it was any
body's business whether he moved or
not. The lawyer said it was the gas
business; that gas company
had the power to run him off the earth.
Of course all this was fgurative. The
young man called at the gas office and
said he had moved.
"To where?" was the inquiry.
"Out of town."
"All right. Your gas bill for the pre-
Vious month will be in Saturday."
"But want to pay it now. I've got |
20 leave the city. And besides l have |
/ deposit here which L wish to with
lraw."
"You can't withdraw it until you pay
7our gas bill"
81 am here to pay it."
"But you can't pay it because the bill
lasn't been turned in"
He had to remain over for two days
,efore he could get the matter settled
lie had to sign two sets of papers and
nally got the residue of his deposit, his
,as bill for the previous month being
Ieducted. l suppose all this is business.

The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1891-02-05


An Election Bill just introduc-
ed in the Missouri House of Dele
gates proposes to make the
Australian system of voting gen.
eral throughout the State,except
for officers not chosen by ballot
and in school village and town
ship elections in which no State
nor county officers are to be vo-
ted for. The ST. Louis Republic
says this system was found t.,
work so well at the last election
in towns having a population Of
8, 900 or more that there can be
no question that it would prove
a welcome reform in the smaller
towns and at country voting
precints.

The defeat of Senator Ingalls,,
of Kansas, removes from the
Senate a inveterate hater of the
Southern people. A man pos
sessed of /, rare fund of informa-
ton, and of acknowledged abili-
ty, Senator ingalls, retires to pri-
yate life without having accom-
plished anything for the lasting
good ofhis country, or to perpet-
uate himself in the memory of
his fellow-man, or the annual of
history. He has made therecord
of wasted opportunities.

whites in Alabama numbered
662, 900 and the blacks 600, ,OOO-
By the recent census this white
majority has been increased from
$4,000 to 149, 1865. "This is
sufficient" says the Montgomery
Advertiser, s'to show that the
white people have been for years
in an undisputed majority II

1t is interesting to dwell upon the
histories of Monroe, John Quincy
Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Vim.
Henry Harrison, Tyler, Pierce, Bu-
chapan, johnson, and Benjamin
Harrison. They were all Senators
and yet they each became President.
Although it is hardly correct to
say that the Senate is a stepping
stone to the Presidency, it may be
affirmed without fear of contradic-
ton on the strength of these ten in
stances, that the Senate is sometimes
stopping stone toward the White
House.

On the 1st of July, 1890, there
was an available cash balance in
the treasury of $149, 9,535,178.
On the Both of June, 1890, this
balance had been reduced to

the public debt was $5, 900, 900
less in 1890 than in 1889, but
the expenses in 1890 were in
creased by $15, 1895 81. The
interest on the public debt for
the current fiscal year 1891 will
be 81, 900, 900 less than IN 1890,
but the expenditures, according
to the treasury report, will show
an ofnearly$57, 900, 900.

The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1891-04-24

I had some important business to
transact with merchant in an Ohio
town, but we had scarcely got seated
in his private office when in came a
drummer for Chicago house. He
was probably new TO the road, and he
wanted some of his cheek shaved off.
He was politely informed that nothing
whatever was wanted, but he talked
and hung on. and had to be fairly
turned out. In half an hour he re-
turned to the attack with fresh stock
of gall, saying:
Il know you must want something,
and Tn bound to have an order"
Again he was turned away, and
again he returned to the attack. The
merchant was now mad all the way
quietly remarked:
Come to think OF it, 1 do need u
few things. Get out your order book. ="
..Ah, ha! l knew you would give
me an order if hung on long enoughr'
exclaimed the drummer. "Nothing
like perseverance in this profession"
The merchant ordered 1000 pounds
of sugar. ten chests of tea, l. 900 pounds
of coffees and Il lot of other goods
figuring up big bill, and the drum
mer was on his high heels us he with
drew.
Pretty big order" l observed.
No order at ALL" he replied.
..How?''
He'll mail it to Chicago tonight.
and tomorrow I'll countermand it by
telegraph. Did it to get even with
him for hanging on. you see. All the
fun in this thing is not on the side OF
the travelling men. ~. Y. SIN.
