The author of this stry while ffshing
one night was highly delighted to find on
his hooks an enormous sizod turtle, but
his eourteraee soon changed for while
faking it off it seized him tightly by the
thumb ad in this manner was hauled in
to the boat. Thinking of-what he had
heard he began to look for a prospect of
thurder, but seeing a cloudless sky and de
spairing of such relief, ho concluded he
would pray bet for his life could not
think of a single prayer except liis"daddy's"
old grace, which was: "Thank the Lord
for what is before us." Feeling that he
could not repeat this with a sincere heart
he decided to whisper a compromise when
the turtle let go the thumb,cana:ht him by
thnose. Ay tlih time a leak which he had
forgotten had let the boat full of water
and he son found himself without a light
chin-deep in water. "It gets no better fast,"
he murniered to himself, I reckon you will
try to swallow roe next lick and I'm sure
a face without a noso is better than to go
through the process of decomposition in
your "hash mill;' so saying he gave a sud
den jerk which found a man without a
nose and and a turtle withoht a tail.

1. Physically the Indians were tall,
straight, active and graceful, but unable
to endure long and continued toil. Their
features were generally regular; hair black,
had little eapaeity for reflection; were
guided by custom, appetite or passion
were bold but, often preferred cunning and
treachery. They were fon 1 of ornaments
nnd sports, and much addicted to gam
bling. 2. Tho United States may he divided
into six epochs as fellows: 1st. E irly
discoveries and settlement; 2nd, develop
ment of English colonies in Amenca; 3rd,
American Revolution; 4th, dtvelopement
of the State? to Missouri compromise; - 5th,
the Civil war; 6th, reconstruction and
passing events.
3. That Columbus discovered America
is admitted by aTl historians yet tradition
says North raon from Norway and Sweden
discovered the mainland of North Ameri
ca probably about the year 1000 but as
they m?.de no attempts at colonization, all
traces of their discovery were lost.
Therefore sys Rarnes "the true history of
this country begiss with the discovery by
Columbus in 1492.
4. Columbus from his youth loved the
sea, and was a bold and able sailor, shrewd,
determined and intensely religious. He
believed himself to be divinely called to
carry truth to the "ends of the earth." In
spired, with th'.3 idea no obstacle could
deter him or cause him to desptdr of fijll-

SENATOR VANCE
On CmtII Serysce-
Last Wednesday Senator Vance ad
dresfed the U. S. Senate on the ciril ser
vice question.
He said: "T will proceed now, 3fv.
President, if it is thought I can do so with
safety."
Mr. Vance said that all tha present dif
ficulties featween the President and the
jScnate Were due to the 83t falsely called
"An act to Regulate and Improve thn
Civil Sen-ice of the United States." He
had introduced the bi'l, which his present
remarks were infended to.pupport, for the
pnrpjse of repealing that act. Mr Vance
created much laughter by reading a "sup
posititious c-on versa ions between an imacr
nary "Old Democrat" r.nd an equrd'y
iraaginary renrcantative of the govern
ment, in which "O'd Democrat," bearine
in mind all tha years of Democratic exile,
confidently spproaohes the representative
of the government, expresses his joy at
"Our Victory," snd says he has come to
et a place. The representative cf the gov
ernment receives him rather coolly and
assures him he ia too old. When ' Old
Democrat's" disappointment has been suf
fli-iovtly expressed he recommends his eon.
who is young an4 active, but the govern
ment representative, with many "Ahems !",
xnlains the working of the civil service
ysica, and whn "O'd Democrat" in
quires whether ail tho Republicans in of '
ficchadgot in under the -cifil service ays
tern and had been subjected to the neces
sary examination, tli government repre
sentative replies that he is tronbIcFtnf;
that he should not ssk imprrtinent ques
tions, and shows him to the door, saying
"A way with you!" Mr. Vanoe said this
was no fancy picture. There were thous
ands ann thousands of men like that "Old
Democrat" and they were the sfrtngth of
the Democratic party. Tkey had ben its
refuge in the past. Mr. Vance said he
was not quite sure that they would be its
champions in the future. They would nr-t
fitrht to win Democratic victories for Re
pHbliesn benefit. They believed that if a
rann were raised to the place of his am
bition hy his friends he phoal l give his
friends the preference over his enemies. So
did Mr. Vance believe. They also believed
that a man found wanting in gratitude
might likewise be found wanting in other
kindred and cardinal viriuffi.

by the galleries in the course of his re
marks. 'After an executive session the
