Measurements were subsequently made by Professor Guyot and by Senator Clingman. Senator Clingman still maintains that he did not, and that the peak now known as Mitchell is the one that Clingman first described.

"What have you for dinner, Pitts?" asked the captain. "Baked fish, Captain, in two pieces; for he was too long to go into my oven," replied the cook. "All right. Take the wheel, Clingman, and make the course due south." "Due south, sir," repeated the wheelman. The party hastened to the after cabin; for they were hungry after their long tramp, though they had taken a light lunch with them.
"You seem to believe that I am as chicken-hearted as a girl; but I believe in killing all harmful animals, including poisonous snakes; but I do not like to see these innocent monkeys shot down for the fun of it," replied Louis.

"Six feet; we are shoaling," added Captain Scott.
There, examine it, and be so good as to write me a receipt." Silently he complied, and when she had re-enclosed the check and sealed the envelope she placed it in his hand.

To-day I have discovered some symptoms of the disease in my own system, and I feel assured I shall be ill before this time to-morrow."

Clingman, who represented North Carolina, was alternately enlivened by epigrammatic wit or envenomed by scorching reply. Mr. Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont, was commencing a long and useful Congressional career. Mr. Schuyler Colfax, an editor- politician, represented an Indiana district. The veteran Mr. Charles J. Faulkner, with his choleric son-in-law, Mr.
I accept your promise, Dr. Clingman, and hope you will obtain a room in the quiet and secluded portion of the building. If I should be so fortunate as to die, do not forget the memorandum in this purse. I leave my body in your care, my soul in the hands of Him who alone can give it rest."
