When time was young and the beasts of
the field received names, the ass was
known as the ''Braying One," says Pick
Me-Up.
But at length one misguided animal lost
for aye to his species that honorable an
pellation. He was exceedingly uxorious
and, unfortunately for him, his compan-
ions possessed a'sense of mortality so keen
that it would put licensing committees to
the blush.
This highly domesticated beast was seen
openly to kiss his wife.
His whole tribe were shocked, revolted
at this atrocious behavior, and they in
sisted that the case should be referred to
the judgment of Jove.
The outraged accusers stated their case
through one of their most eloquent cys-
tors. His speech was long. In spite of
the well-judged changes of information for
which he was widely renowned. he found
himself unable to fix the attention of the
judge. Jove nodded.
Presently he came to the accusation, ard
with strident voice he made known to all
the culprit. Jove started.
What did he?"
The counsel repeated the charge
''Well, he must be an asst cried Jove,
and the cry "A SentenceT rang around.
Since then an ass is merely an ass.

His RevenGe.

l have a good story on Capt. lowering
the United States army officer who was
court-mardaned and was reprimanded by
the President for show of bad temper
in re Private Hammond. also of the Uni
ted States army. and very contumaclous
fellow indeed says a writer in the st.
Paul Dispatch. The story has nothing in
il in the way of criticism of the captain
or the court-martial, and so may be told
without suspicion of offensive PARTISAN
ship.
Capt. Lowering then had bicycle, and
had become an expert as a wheelman-so
expert. indeed. that he had essayed to
ride without touching the handle-bars
feat which, as all who have tried it I'M
derstand, requires at first no little prac-
tice.
He was riding one day at Fort Sheridan,
his hands free from the bars, when the
wheel gave lurch and cast him headlong
over the bars and upon his nose. His
nose was skinned, his tunic was soiled,
and his military dignity was the victim
of a compound fracture.
Getting on his legs and gazing angrily
al the bicycle which had done him, the
captain, addressing it in the language of
belligerency, called it a blank, blank thing
larceny to every spoke and to all the
other parts.
On the same road private of the Uni
ted States army was driving a cart loaded
with manure. 1t occurred to the captain
that a fitting indignity for the offending
wheel would be tosbe broken beneath the
cart.
Drive over the BANKED thing! Drive
over it! Break itr' he cried to the driver
The driver of the manure cart was &C
customed to obeying orders without
swerving, and he did drive over it.
When the cart passed, the wheel was a
tangle of ruin, and the captain had been
avenged.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-01-30

Yesterday was typical down-the-river
day. such weather prevailed as is usually
enjoyed when Savannah has guests to en-
terrain. In the morning the visiting con-
gressmen were taken down the river. and
upon the broad Atlantic on the steamship
City of Augusta. On the trip they had an
opportunity of viewing the harbor and riv-
er improvements, and getting a compre-
hensive idea of the work and its practical
value. The forest of spars up and down
the wharves; the steamers and sail craft:
the tugs and steamboats,; the wharves fun
of busy handlers of merchandise; the piles
of cotton. lumber, iron naval stores and
other products of the South, were all evil
dences Of the great seaport and the good
accomplished by the governments expen-
ditures on the river and harbor improve
ments. The visitors had not to be told of
the great commerce of the port; they saw
conclusive evidences of it for themselves.
The dinner in the evening was enjoyed
by guests and hosts. 1t is not often that
Savannah has the pleasure of entertaining
such agreeable guests. There was no i'm
portuning of the visitors for favors on the
part of the hosts, hence the guests did not
feel that they were being entertained for
a purpose. The entire affair was social. in
token Of the eity's appreciation of what

Mckinley and Deveaux.
From Springfield tMass.} Republican Qnd)

The President is about to take another
plunge into Southern politics, if we may
believe the reports. by appointing another
negro to an important office. Mr. Hanna S
influence prevails, and it was for Mr.. Han
ma and Mr.. Mckinley that this particular
negro, John Deveaux of Savannah Ca,
worked so strenuously prior to the ST.
Louis convention. His reward will be the
collectorship of Savannah. in spite of the
protests of the lilly white" faction of the
Republican party of Georgia, whose lead
ers declare that Republicanism win never
flourish in the South so long as the Presi-
dent nominates negroes to important
places. The merchants of Savannah are in
dignant that they must do business with a
colored politician, but Mr.. Mckinley can
not consult local sentiment when he has po-
htical debts to pay.

Here 1t Is Again !
From the Philadelphia Ledger qnd.).

In several Northern states-Pennsylvania
among thenl--laws have been passed for
bidding the inmates of prisons to work at
anything that win put them in competi-
ton with free labor. In at least one South
ern state, on the other hand, the prison
contract system still prevails The state
of Georgia expects to dispose of about 300
convicts at auction on April ], selling them
into what is virtually slavery TO the high
est bidder. The two systems are two eX-
tremes of cruelty to the prisoners and
neither can be too severely condemned.

How Morgan Is Appreciated.
From the Knoxville Tribune. Oem.).

Senator Morgan, the long distance talk

annexed to this country. One would think
there are enough negroes in Alabama to
satisfy him. Senator Morgan is an able
and well-informed gentleman whose voice
has gone to seed.

Visitors to New York and Chicago would
do well to leave their bravery, gallantry
ard sentiment at home, or at least exer-
else none of those. qualities In Gotham or
the Windy City. In New York the other
day horse lover from England noticed
a handsome pair of bays standing at the
sidewalk. They were beautiful, intelligent
animals. and the horse lover could not
refrain from patting them on the noses
and "jollying' them with some little small
talk of horsey kind He was nabbed by
a policeman and locked up as being either
drunk or crazy. In the same city another
stranger in the kindness of his heart,
tried TO help an inebriated resident to re-
sumo the perpendicular, and was run in
by the police on suspicion that he was
robber. In Chicago a stranger stopped
pair of runaway horses, at the risk of
his life, and was arrested by the police

POLO.

The New Haven polo team is now slowly but surely climbing to the top of the league table. Out of the four games played by them during the past week they have won three, Although losing the game to Hartford Saturday night it was by no means disgrace to them, seing as Bone, the favorite rush CT for the Blues, did not play, and La tions played back with an amateur in the goal. They now stand in third place in the league, being one game be- hind Hartford. The individual work of each player during the week has been exceptionally good, and keeping up the polo they are playing at present there is no doubt but they will soon be press ing the Providence team hard for first place. Lincoln played his first game on the home team the past week and made very good appearance, being a very smart player,and with little more practice he will be among the best of the players.
