when she gained the water, she rolled from aide to . side. Persons on board feared she would upset and ran to and fro. The vessel finally reeled; over and nearly disappeared beneath the water. Those who had maintained their position on that portion of the steamer not sub

merged did their . utmost to save those

who were cast overboard. At the same

tune otder boats nulled to helr in th

work of rescuing the unfortunate people, and succeeded in saving quite a number.

THE DUDE AND THE DUDELET. To and Old Air.

A State with a Full TreasurySalves top, Tex., Nowa. Kecent dispatches from the State Oapital indicate that the cash balance ia the State Treasruy exceeds $3,000,000, Something over $2,000,000 of this sum belongs to special funds and ought to beinvested. As has lately been shown in these columns, the Treasurer can not now make any desirable investment. There then remains $2,000,000 idle until another session of the Legislature is had. In case the constitutional amendments are adopted and this result is not doubted--the Legislature is required to designate the kind and class of investments desired, Until this is done the funds in question remain idle, and at 5 per cent, the loss is estimated at 3100,000 per annum, or about $150,000 from the time the amende ments are voted upon until the regular session of the next Legislature. An extra session would cost $35,000 or less. It is, then, evident that this investment question alone would justify the expanse of an extra session. . Millionaire Bondholders.

Stranger, tuck half-a-dozen cheers and sot down. Sal, stir yourself around like a six-horse team in a mud-hole. Go' round in the holler where I killed that buok thio morni-i', out off some of the best pieces, and fetch it, and cook it for me and this gentleman d'rectly. Baise up the board under tha head of the bed, and get the old black jug I hid from Diok, and gin us some wkisky. I know there's some left yit.

My friend can't you tell me about tb road I am to travel to-rnorrow?

S. To-morrow, stranger, you won't get out of these diggings for six weeks. But when it gits so you kin start, you see that big sloo over there? Well, you have got to git orost that; then you take the road up the bank, and in about a mile you'll come to a twoaore and half corn pc.toh. The corn is mittily in the weed",' but you needn't mind that; just ride on. About a mile an I a half or two miles frcm there, you'll come to the darndest

Bw.mp you ever struck in all your travel; it's boggy enuff to mire a saddle-blanket, Thar's a fustrate road about six feet un

der thar.

Bow am I to get at it? S. You can't get at it nary a time till the veather stiffens down some. Well, abot-t a mile beyeant you come to a place whar thar's no roads. You can take the right hand ef you want to; you can f oiler it a mile or so, and you'll find it's run out; yoa'il then have to come bak and try the left; when you git about two miles

on that you'll know your wrong, fur tney aint any road thar. You'll then : think you're mighty lucky to find the way back to my house; whar you oan come and play on that ar tune as long as you please. The Krupp Works at Essen. Stahl and Eiaen.

That this sumptuous establishment is designed not only to patch the sportingly inclined of the male sex, but to lure the women of fashion who come to theBranch there can be no doubt.

AGRlOUIiTUR All NOTES. !

The 50 heads of the plant from which the bees were excluded yielded 25 seeds, 40 yielding none at all. The 60 heads visited !y bees, on which they were seen to worlr, yielded 94 seodo, 25 yielding none at all' Grape rot is proved to be a purely lo
