Show Found. An eccentric and elaborately elabor-ately dressed individual called upo2 us yesterday, and politely notified ua that tho outlet to lake Taggart had baen discovered. Ho was elosoly followed by another eccentric and elaborately dressed individual, who called to politely po-litely notify us that the outlet to lake Taggart had been discovered. Immediately Imme-diately succeeding the preceding gentleman gen-tleman came a third eccentric and elaborately dressed individual, whom we at once seized by the throat and politely notified that tha outlet to lako Taggart bad boon discovered. Indeed, tho speed with whioh this interesting intelligence permeated the channels of commerce and the "lanes of learning' is astonishing. We hear that the burden of tho dispatches telegraphed last night to the great outside world was to tho effect that tho outlet to lako Taggart lad been discovered by the devilish, dastardly, diaphoretic and degenerate Mormons, and that already had tho "Lady of the Lake" departed upon a dire and desperate filibustering expedition. The manufacturer and transmitter of such a dispatch is past praying for. P. S. Shortly after tho discovery of tho outlet of lake Taggart a singular phenomenon presented itself and a consultation of eminent savants and scientists was called to investigate the mystery. The unanimous conclusion of this body is that an under current has set in at the bottom of ihe lake, undoubtedly caused by volcanic commotion, com-motion, that tho stream flows backward back-ward and unless prompt measures are taken this celebrated body of water will dUppcar and naught but a trout brook remain. A lunatic at our elbow here remarks, totto roce'lct 'er rip." |
