A Water and sediment Calculation.

1t has been estimated by competent civil

feet Of water into the gulf of Mexico. OF
this prodigious quantity tho one two-thou-

duced to every citizen Of the United
States through his mastery manipula-
ton OF what is commonly known as
"Tammany" that the readers Of the Post
must feel obliged to its painstaking edl-

reflex OF the character Of Mr.. DAILY as is
given in the above quotation. The peo-
pie OF Montana. who nave not been fav-
ored with a knowledge of Mr.. Daly's

from Butte. must Of necessity feel that

Donksy-RIdiug.

tFrom Harper's Young People.l
 Children who live In cities are better acquainted with donkeys than young sters in the country. It was. therefore with pleased surprise that I saw at Syracuse donkey-riding was as popular a pastime on the fairgrounds as 1t is in Central Park. Why a boy or girl mounted on a lazy and slowly plodding donkey should seen so supremely happy almost passes my elderly comprehen- sion. fancy 1t is for the reason that a donkey seems something like horse, and yet manifestly is not intended to ride. Riding it Is. therefore, a kind of make-believe, like a game with dolls a dolls wedding, or a dolls evening party. But at Syracuse donkey-riding was more like real horseback exercise than 1t Is in Central Park, for the boys and girls rode by themselves, and with an attendant for each donkey. To be led along and at the same time to be held in the saddle by a careful attend ant, must most seriously detract even from the make believe fun of riding.

 The Hilihouse Literary society has been revived this fall and many inter- esting debates will be held this term If the wishes of the officers are carried out. The mention of the name recalls an interesting story in the formation of this debating society. In the days when the Hillhouse Union was flourish ing and the debates aroused so much enthusiasm the club had to close the doors to keep the room from being over crowded. As the debaters only had q chance to speak about once in two months. a number of the more promi- nent members got together and planned to resign from the union at the next meeting. The meeting came and the members resigned one by one until the number of fifteen had left. The meet ing was then adjourned. and the presi- dent and secretary, who were included in those wishing to join new society. left the room, followed by their fellow members. They had no sooner reached the sidewalk than the members left in the room soon collected themselves and started after the first crowd. who had, by the way. captured the gavel and the various books of the club. At the cor ner the fellow having the gavel was surrounded and only after hard scrab- ble succeeded in keeping the instru- ment A regular rush then took place, in which all were after the gavel. but whoever had the mallet got away with 1t, much to the sorrow of the old union members.
 The climax was reached, however, when the new club, which called itself the Hillhouse Literary society. met and adopted constitution and bylaws. At the first meeting there were enough iuGlllUCld plCoSlS to hoaN sAAN N>Ss~s>' but after that, no matter how hard they worked, the members could not get a quorum in the school. The following is a list of those who were members: P. McQuaid, H. Scranton, s. Hoyt, H. Fisher, N. Ferry, J. Bromley. R. Root, J. Hall P. Tyler, A. Grey and c. Thompson. Although almost all of these members are not now in school, with practice new material could be brought out and some interesting de- bates could be held. If debate with some school could be held 1t should be attended by all the scholars, as this Is a departure which should receive more attention.
 The officers of the club are Charles N. Williams president, Victor A. Kowal- eskwi vicepresident, and A. Gray sec retary.

 Columbus, O., Oct. 9.-The penalty of cowardice is being visited upon Private Dearth, member of Company c, Four teenth regiment, Ohio National Guard, in peculiar manner. When the regi- ment was ordered by Governor McKin- ley into active service in Belmont coun- ty to quell the riotous miners in June last Dearth hastily left the city and successfully eluded Recommending of ficers. A court-martial found Dearth guilty and he was dishonorably dis charged from the service and sentenced to fifteen days imprisonment.
 The authorities, not wishing to send the man to jail, erected a pen six by nine feet in the center of the armory building. and Dearth is now serving his time under the eye of guard. He is not allowed to leave his little coop even for exercise, and his presence in the improvised prison serves as a warn ing to others who regard lightly their obligations as soldiers when entering the service of the state.
