A FABLE.
The Ash Contractor and
the Ash Barrel.

"What are you out here for?" said the
ash contractor, wearing an incllning,
Mnrch-forward cap that has his royal
court of arms in brass, to the ash-hafreI,
"You get up in the alley"
Cant obstruct tho neighbors right

Then go back in the yard said A: c.
I'VE are the ashes deposited by proud fam
lilies who havo banished us to your royal
Kingdom of ashes and yeur are paid the
price of you own asking to transport u.s."
said A. b., ''and you have no pDwsr or
legal right to sit In juigmsntin in abridging
your contract by refusing to take me-"
"Why do you 60 around -1nsking nui-
rance Of Yourself this way to the people
VINO pay you your own price for work you
iE part refuse to perform?"
"YoI are too big and two men can't lift
you,' said A. c. MlH
am only about half full while you are
so full small boy could topp!s you over
and 80 big you think you own and can

who paid for its removal.

EXPLORED THE
AMAZON.
Wilmington Ascends the
River to lquitos, a Dis
tanCe of 2lO0
Miles.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-THE Unit
ed States gunboat Wilmington's remark
able voyage OF exploration up the Amazon
hiVer last month, as Just reported to the
Navy Department by Commander, Todd
demonstrated that the great South Ameri.
Can stream cannot be chartered. The Will
mlngton wos instructed by the Navy De.
partment to push on up the great river
ana ascertain how far iU was nayirable.
Captain Todd reports that he assembled
TO iqultos, i'll Peru, which Is about 2lOO
miles up the river. This voyage was mads
as ne says against an adverse current
averaging three knots for the entire dis
tanco.
OVERCAME SERIOUS OBSTACLES,
Manaos, at junction of the Rio Negro
with The Amazon, has heretofore been re :
garded as the hoad of navigation for
steam vessels, and from that fact has
grown TO prosperous city of 1000 inhabi-
tants. Consequently, the intention of
Capt. Todd to ascend led to CONSERVATION,
and In the end, as revealed by subsequent
reports led to some adverse demon. .tra-
tlons against the American Consal and
agalnst the native pill OTIS who assisted the
Wllmlngtons commander to make the
voyage.
Captain Todd succeeded, notwithstand-
ing these obstacles, In ascending the
Amazon for 1000 miles above Manaos,
and had it not been for the lack of fuol he
could havo steamed about 300 miles furth-
er. he believes
ITS CHANNEL CHANGEABLE.
AS was, the Wilmington, which Ell.
tered the Amazon from the Atlantic
Ocean. was within about 400 miles of the
Pacific, and we'll into Peru, before she
turned backward down its river
The possibilities of the successful nayi-
cation of the vast and hitherto unknown
Interior of South America revealed by
Captain Todds voyage will, it is believed,
Da OF The greatest commercial Importance,
and the Navy Department probably will
take steps to soc that they are made
known to the maritime world.
Unfortunately, Captain Todd shows the
great Amazon, like the Mississippi, Is 80
in its channels as not to per-
mis- OF successful charting, so that expert
pilo's will always be required
