THEY had the question of Prosperity
up before the Lower House of Congress
one day last week. 1t was eloquently
debated from all points of the political
compass, and served for an hour or
two to enliven the dull routine of APP
preparations and relief bills. Private
John Allen, of Mississippi, gave the
following illustration:
81 speak for my own section, and
must say that the prosperity that you
have told US so much about reminds
me of story. do not put it on you
as new story, but just give it to you
on account of it's applicability. 1t is
the story of the old darby who caught
the possum, dressed him we'll and put
him in the oven to bake and surround
ed him with potatoes and then lay
down to sleep while he baked. About
the time the possum was done another
slick little darby slipped in and stole
his possum and ate it all up. Then he
took the bones, put them down in
front of the old man, creased his lips
with possum grease and put possum
grease over his fingers. When the old
man woke up, he looked and saw his
possum gone. He saw the bones lying
In front of him. He saw possum grease
on his fingers, he tasted possum grease
on his lips, and he said: We'll, can it
be possible dat l eat dat possum while
l was asleep? 1t do look like I must
have eat him, but, TO God, dat pos
sum had less effect on my consti-
tuition dan any possum / ever eatr
You tell US about this prosperity, and
you produce your figures here and
make it look like prosperity, but. 10,
God. this prosperity has had less effect
on our constitution than any prosperity
We ever had before in our livesr'

Chance to Man the Monitors.

| Senator William P. Frye of Maine re-
ceived the following communication on
May 9th from the Bureau of Navigation,
Navy Department, and at once sent it to
gentleman in this city in order to in
form him just how the matter stood. The
letter is as follows
Bureau of Navigation,
| Washington, D. G.,
| May th, 1885,
Sir:-The letter of Mr.. II. NJ. Bigelow
of the third instant addressed to you.
with your endorsement to the Secretary
of the Navy approving Mr. Bigelow's re-
quest in regard to the Naval Militia of
| Portland, Maine, has been referred to
this bureau for reply.
The. Monitor Montauk is now manned
by the Naval Militia of New Jersey,
temporarily only, in order to conduct the
vessel to Portland, Maine. 1t gives the
bureau pleasure to inform you that, upon
the arrival of the Montauk at Portland,
Maine, it is the intention of the bureau
to have her manned by the Naval Militia
of Portland, and that will be done as
soon after her arrival at Portland as
practicable.
The letter of MIR. Bigelow's is returned.
By direction of the Chief OF Bureau,
Very respect fully,

Hon. William 2. Frye, U. S. Senate,

The above letter win be very welcome
information to the young men of this city
who have been working SO industriously
for the past few months and who until
Senators Hale and Frye took the matter
in hand have never been recognized in
any way, although the Portland news
papers and Portland public have warmly
supported the movement all the time. 1t
now remains for the young men who are
identified with the matter to make it as
ereditable to the city as possible and to
thus show their appreciation of the kind
offices of the two Maine Senators.
