A FROG on THE MIZZENMAST.

The American ship IroQuois came into port late

bodies OF Two strange fish that were caught the

went aloft and captured it. The ship was then in

ions on the revenue problems of the

he:

thing about reducing expenditures" +"
Why not commence at government
salaries? These salaries were raised
in war times, and are out Of all pro-
portion to incomes derived from other
lines Of business. While products Of
all kinds, both agricultural and manu-
factured, have been tending downward

Congress and the Presidency

The Washington Post is opposed on
general principles to the idle discus
sion Of hopeless propositions for the
further amendment of the Constitution
OF the United states, regarding this as
in the nature of a waste of energy, but
it points out one way in which con-
gress can carry out long-neglected
provision Of that great instrument.
Says our contemporary:
The Constitution provides that in
case of the removal of the president
from Office, or of his death, resigna
tlon, or inability to discharge the pow
ers and duties of the said office, the
same shall devolye ON the vice-presi-
dent There would be no difficulty I'm
ascertaining that vacancy existed,
and inducing the vice-president into
the vacant office in case of removal or
resignation, should so unlikely a thing
happen, We have had four vacancies
i'm the presidential Office created by
death, and the transfer of powers and
duties was effected in the most quiet
and orderly manner, And we have had
