He fished in this wise: 1 large hole through the log on which he lay, and he thrust his forearm through the hole and held his open paw in the water and waited for the fish to gather around and into it, and when full he clutched his fist and brought upa hand- ful of fish, and sat and eat them with great gusto; then down with the paw again, and soon. The brook was fair- ly alive with little trout and red-sided ' suckers, and some black suckers, the old fellow let self out on the ; tishes. He did not eat their heads. There was quite a pile of them on the log. I suppose the oil in his paw at- | tracted the fish and baited them even | better than a fly-hook, and his toe-nails } were his hooks, and sharp ones too, and once grabbed the fish are sure to stay. They also catch frogs in these forest brooks, and drink of the pure water in hot summer days, and love to | lie and wallow in the muddy swamps } as well as our pigs inthe mire. They often cross narrow places in lakes by swimming, and also rivers, and seem to love to take a turn in the water. I once saw one swimming from the main- land to the big island in Mooselmagun- tic Lake, with just a streak of his back 4 out of the water, looking like a log moving along. Sometimes you see only their heads out of water; at other times half of their bodies are to be seen. We account for this difference by their condition. If fat, the grease helps buoy them up; if lean, they sink lower in the water.—Correspondent Lewiston (Me. ) Journal. —_ Money Plus Talent.

When they cured a competence, then they can satisfy their literary bent and achieve that rich suc- cess which always rewards genius and a great mind properly applied.”’ me ee A Railway in the Caucasus. It is only fair to add that the railway from Porti to Tiflis is a marvel of en- ineering skill. 1t follows the gorgt of e Phasis, among the mountains, for about 160 miles, constantly ascendin; by a grade so steep that the short train requires two engines to draw it. Often the side of the mountain is so steep it required to be leveled for a’space suffi- ciently wide for the track. Everywhere the scenery was of the most captiva- ting. Noble cliffs, terminating in ba- saltic ramparts, often enclosed the roaring waters of the rushing stream; or slopes excessively steep, cultivated from the water to an extraordinary height, seem to hang over the road; or idydlic valleys opened to catch the sun- light, giving space for a village of wat- tled huts. In several gorges, ancient castles were descried perched on the apex of seemingly inaccessible peaks, and now deserted and alone. One of the venerable fortresses was of vast ex- tent. The clouds surged around it like the surf of the sea, and above soared the eagle, the sole tenant of that lofty height. These ruins bore the fancy back to those picturesque ages of ro- mance and song which, if they served no other purpose, were at least of use, if they bequeathed sentiment and poe- try to ages more orderly and pro: At frequent intervals the train stop- ped at tow f ize and stations well-or i and provided with excel- lent buff: ides the excellent WAM nieais in readiness for the tray- elers whose appetite was sharpened by the mountain” air, each dining room was furnisted with the sideboard pecu- arto Rassia, provided with eaviare, vodky and other characteristic appe- Uzers, which it doesnot take long for the traveler to learn to sppreciate.— The Manhattan.

The legislatiures now in session are busily grinding out laws to prohibit and punish the aduiterations of food and drink.

Other measur equally absurd are propose The : books of most of the states are owded with laws for the punishment of fraudulent adulterations of food, but they have proved wholly futile. In spite of the laws this system of fraud is ex- tending to nearly all the food that the people consume. There is but one practical way of successfully combat- ing the iniquity, and this is the estab- ishment by the state of chemical lIabo- ies for the detection of frauds in These laboratories, provided with competent chemists, should be connected with the detective police of acity, as it is more important that the ratc | rogues who cheat the people and _ poi- son them at the same time should be detected and punished than ordinary counterfeiters and pickpockets. Two or three laboratories in the manufac- turing centers of the state, where adul- terations are prepared, would do the business. Whenever the citizen can take his suspected purchase of bread, butter, sugar, milk, tea, spices, wine, or beer to the state laboratory and have it analyzed at public cost, an effective blow will be given to the business of adulteration. If the adulteration be proved to be poisonous, or any way dele- terious te health, it should be made the duty of the police to seize and destroy the whole supply to which it belongs. When the adulteration does not injure the health of the consumer, but is a fraudulent cheapening of food, as in mingling flour with sugar, it should be confiscated and sentto the public in- stitutions. Other punishment would hardly be necessary besides the publi- cation of the list of the manufacturers of fraudulent adulterations. a 7 Snubbing. This is a serious business in any view that can be taken of it. And it is cer- tainly a most disagreeable one. ‘Phose who are snubbed are generally taken The Roustabout.

Not long agoan English lady took passage on a vessel bound from Kings- ton, Jamaica to London. A large, strong and active monkey on board the vessel took a fancy to the lady’s child, a babe about two months old. The monkey would follow the lady from place to place, watching her as she rocked and fondled her little one.

A story for critics is the one told by Professor Austen about Coleridge, who himself related it to the Professor. When Coleridge first thought of liter- ture as 8 means of support he formed some connection with one of the re- views. ‘He was at that time living somewhere in the lake country, to- ether with Wordsworth. A parcel ot ooks were sent down to be reviewed, among the rest a volumn of poems. ° * * He wrote a smart review ot the work; every sentence of his article was, he said, an epigram. When he had concluded he read his review aloud to the ladies of the family. One of them, Wordsworth’s sister, burst into tears and asked him how he could write i ‘Iwas thinking,’ ssid he, ‘how I must feelif I were to read such a re- view of a poem of yours or William’s. And has not this poorman some sister or wife to feel for him?’ Coleridge de- scribed himself as so affected that he never afterward wrote a review, and he appeared to me to have even a mor- bid feeling on the subject.” Cl! Se A Confused Woman. The most confused woman in Ameri- ea is Mrs. James Cosgrove, of Balti- more. She married James Cosgrove, Jr., twenty years ago; he went into the army, and was reported killed. She douvted the report, and spent her en- tire fortune of $15.000 searching for him. Finally she gave him up; being still young and pretty she haa lots of beaux, and finally married Edward Godfrey. He died in a few months, and four years ago she married James Cosgrove, Sr., the father of her first ni. And the other day she acci- dentally met a msn from Richmond, whom she recognized as her first hus- band himself. and he was also husband to another womau and living with her.

Lieutenant Lindsay wrote it Niagara in 1751. So did Captain de Lancey (son of Gover- nor De Lancey) who was an officer in the English army that captured Fort Niagara from the French in 1759.
