By Wireles.

The President stood at the bow of the steamer,i looking down at the turbid, boiling waters of the great river. “Doesn’t it suggest something to you, Mr. President?” asked one of the Govsrnors, in an undertone. “Suggest something?” said the - chief sxecutive in a loud tone, as is his wont when anybody tries to be confidential. ‘Suggest something? How? What?” “It’s—it’s running.” (In a still louder tone) “Well, why lot? Why shouldn’t it run?” “See the parallel, Mr. President? A treat many of the people think ” (Louder yet) “No, I don’t see any parallel. Ever do any fishing in this riv>r, Governor? It isn’t much for black ‘’fess or mountain trout, but you can patch some whaling big catfish.” Subsequent remark by the Governor to me of the other Governors: “Blame him, I can’t make out whether ais too’ atill holds or not!” —Chicago Tribune.
