An Alligator a “Fishing.” While at Wakulla Spring, in Florida, a spring that covers several acres, and is from forty-five to sixty feet In depth, Dr. Wolfe, of this city, witnessed a few days since an alligator’s method of catching his Friday's dinner. The spring, be it remembered, is as clear as crystal, any thing on its bottom being perfeetly visible. The Doc- tor thus deseribes the seene : “ There was an old batteau In the spring. which I made use of to foat me around to see the s The owner of this ancient craft, a Mr. Courseaux, paddled the boat‘and acted as guide. We made several fruitless efforts to capture fish with aziz,” when we discovered an alligator enjoying a sun bath on the sandy beach. I gave him a prod with the gig which made him quickly slide into deep water, and there in full sight he lay at full len<th open tie white shell bottom, feet beneath the surface of the water. Be- irely out of reach, we left him, as ‘twere, asleep. In two hours we returned to see if he had chanced his position, but he still remained in dizniged repose, perhaps cogitating over the lick I had given lus head with the gig. Our boat lay lightly on the surface of the water above him. He was as visible to our sight as he could be sensible to our touch. He seemed to be fast asleep, and what strengthened this Impres- sion was the fact that not less than a hundred fishes, of all sizes and varieties, swam around , nipping watery parasites and mosses from his horny skin. 1 noticed this familiarity of the fish with the ‘gator with absorbing interest. About the head and outlines of his capacious mouth, the fish appeared to be particularly at- tracted and most industriously engazed. They clustered here as thick as flies, and were as busy as bees. While entirely absorbed in watching this strange operation, conceive of my astonish ment when I saw the ‘gator gradually, and, as I thought. lazily, open his mouth to its fullest ex- tent. This, instead of frightening the fish, only gave them better facilities for ‘picking crumbs of comfort” from the alligator’s tongue and teeth. They went in in crowds, each trying to be in advanee of the other, until. ‘the red pase can write it that deadly trap was shut, ‘and the fish were seen no more.’ Those that had got only half-way in or halt-way out were caught in the middle, and wiggled for ‘liberty er death, di Ctosely I watched the ‘o-see the end of this massacre. in look up at me with a playful in his eye, as he seemed to He then gaye a chopping gulph weat | new supply of creduious fishes.” +?

Only a few days ago the united agriculturists gave a festival in honor of a worthy member of INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH MR. PHIL. ARMOUR. HISTORY OF THE GREAT PORK CORNER Iw 1880. Chicago Cor. Cin. Commercial. “Nine-tenths of the operations at Chicago,” continued Mr. Armour, “that are called corners are legitimate undertakings designed upon an ordinary scale. That they become as they sometimes do 1s scarcely ever the en of their projector, but the result of the recklest- hess or stupidity of the persons who oppose the undertaking. The commodities handled in Wall street and in La Balle street are so very different; that it is perhaps natural that any one who at- tempts to criticize the Chicago Board of Trade methods with only his knowledge ot Wall street matters to guide him should make blunders. ‘The stock of a railroad is an exact quantity. In the first place, there are so many shares in ex- istence. It is not a dimcult matter, either, to find out where they are held. Some of them are here, some of them abroad, some of them in trust, some of them in the company’s vaults. A man with money can, with not much difficulty, while sitting down tn his office, find out within @ tew dollars how much It would taketo ‘corner’ sucha stock. Ifaman is found tn the posses- sion of all the stock of a railroad, and witha large quantity of its stock bought ‘long’ besides. he certainly cannot easily escape the charge that he has deliberately made’a ‘corner’ init. I shouldn't blame him. 1 am not arguing against ‘corners;* Tam simply talking about them. Now, on the other hand, take the commodities traded in here at Chicago. One never knows how much wheat there is in the country, nor Is it possible to find out within millions of dollars worth. I have known the agricultural bureaus, for instance, to make a mistake of 15,000,000 bushels in the ag- gregate yleld of a single state. A man who would set out to buy in Chicagp all the wheat that was offered him, in the hope that with his great means alone he could ‘corner’ the market, would be simply @ financial sulelde. I don’t know of anybody who ever lei it and succeeded. The alleged ‘corners’ that are expe- rienced here are in no proper sense ‘corners.’ Ft is a fact, however. that not unfrequently thoughtless speculators have greatly embarassed themsely and sometimes somewhat embar- assed the public by recklessly selling what they haven't got. in the hope that It will elther natur- ally go lower or that their big sales will force it lower, so that they can make a profit. In other words, these ‘bears’—they deserve rather to be called ‘wreckers’—hope to make fortunes out of the owner of and believer in property, by selling him on ‘wind’ more than he can take. Let me give you an fllustration of how these alleged ‘corners’ are brought on. “In the spring of 1880 pork was selling for about fourteen dollars per barrel, cheaper rela- tively than ribs. There was a large party that was talking lower prices. A majority of the littlesneculators at Chicago and at other trade centers seemed all at once seized with the idea that the hog product was going down. They began to sell and to advise thelr friends and cus- tomers to sell. Very shortly after this selling an pork was offered ih any quantity on *Chanze by these people, who were neither own- ers of the property. makers or it, nor even pos- sessed of m y Hundreds of thous- ands of barrels were sold at below $10 a barrel, at a price actually $3 lower than it cost to make the meat. The kers thronghout the country were apparently at the mercy of this wild mob. selling property that it did not have at prices very much less than it cost the manufacturers to e were millions of dollars worth of meat in store in the ice-houses at Chicago, Cin- cinnati, St. Lonis, Kansas City, and elsewhere. This dilemma #hen presented itself to Armour & Co. Should they e the authority of ket an enormous loss on the $6,000,000 worth of property they rehouses, or, should they protect themselves? With a share of the pork packers it had become a question of financial life or death. Armour & Co. decided to protect them- selves, and where pork was offered to. them for up to the hundred without any par- { noted almost as striking stance of longevity one evening in the se of a venerable man who came into the par- lor of a house where I was at dinner. Hearing that some one bad been shown into the salon while the company was still dining, the host sent the servant to see who it was, and she re- turned saying that it was “Old Father X.” The hest laughed. “Get a chair for him,” he raid, ‘and he must have some of the pudding and a glass of dessert wine.” So there came in a wrinkied personage who eould not have been less than 85, if he was a day old. He saluted as gracefully as if he had been 30, and while he joined in the dessert, he remarked that it was pleasant to see such good things to eut, for he had not seen many of them lately. “How is that, Mr. X?” inquired the master of the house. “I thought your old cook, who has been with you so many years, was re- nowned for her excellence?” “Oh, yes! but the government, you see, won't let me alone, and keeps ine trotting about the country districts organizing primary schools. I think I shall have ed as many as 3,000 by the close of next It’s rough work; I have to goto the peasants’ houses, get ‘very plain food and pat up with poor beds—travel nights in country wagons, ete. But I think it keeps up my health.” And he did really look infinitely better fit for the most trying of all labors than vard appear. AS we left the table the host said that the patri- arch had been a celebrity as long ago as 1810, and, althouzh he had srutlived his political rep- utation, had certainly not lived longer than he was useful. And then, the activity otf Lesseps is as nothing compared to that of the aged Hugo. On Sunday night of next week there is to be a supper at the Grand hotel in honor of the 100th re) entation of inety- three” (the play taken from the poet's striking, almost grandiose sketeh—for it ean scarcely be called a novet)—at the Gaiety. There will be a numerous company of brilliant actresses and most of the leading literary men-of the capital. Such suppers invariably bein at midnight. Now do youfaney that Vietor Hugo will hesi- te to go there because he happens to be in h Sist year? Net at all. He will very probably walk down there, if the night is fine. Kom his house, which is at least two miles away; after supper he may go earlier than the others, but he will be at work at 7. Now whatis the secret of the splendid health of these men? They treat, their stomachs as if they were sacred; they less than they could make it, to buy. In reach- ing this conclusion they consulted no ene. They entered into no conspiracy, and asked nobody's aid. They simply refused to surrender to the wreckers of all sorts, the grangers and specula- tors who were selling property for less than it cost to make.” “What was the real position as to the supply an@demand at this time?” “Why, the fact was, that a earefal Inquiry made it plain that there was actually no more stock In the country than was absolutely needed for the home consumption. The selling never- theless continued and beeame wilder and wilder, until countrymen and ‘bears’ talked of pork sell- ing for $7 or $8 per barrel, a little over half what tt was costing to make. Brokers, in their desire to make their commissions, kept breaking the market by selling a little ander the ruling ficures. These brokers. countrymen and crazy people of all sorts, tumbled over each other in thelr anxiety to sell what they did not have. They expected. of eourse, to bay back after they had depressed the prices, and make fortunes at the expense of the legitimate manufacturers. Whatever they could make would come not from the pockets of other speculators, but from the purses of the pork packers.” “How long did this selling last? What brought it to a close?” “It kept up until several hundred thousand barrels more pork had been sold than were in existence. But this fact didn’t stop it or alarm the sellers. It was only when a delivery day ap proached that the mob that had been selling over and over again what it did not have, real- ized that it was in any peril. But when the ttme came abont for some of the contracts which had been made to be filled. the sellers bezan to look about for property to deliver. Mr. A. went to Mr. B. to buy one thousand barrels of pork: he diseov- ered that Mr. B. was as anxious to buy pork as himself. There followed a great running around after property, and a general diseovery that there was not near enough pork in existence to to fill the contracts. The same men that had in the spring tumbled over each other to sell, climbed over each other to purchase. They were as mob-like and unreasonable in their efforts to buy as they had been a little white before in their efforts to sell. The prices went up fifty cents a barrel. This stampeded the sellers. who had gone in on a half dollar margin, and alarmed the sellers who had up a dollar margin. As the market advanced the panic increased until the alarm among all the sellers who were without Property was general.” never eat nor do they by aceldent drink that which is not good for them.

From Harper's Weekly. : How great and how rapid has been the ad_ vance In dog-culture in this country was amply shown by the grand collection of animals ex- hibitéd last week at the American Institute hall, New York city. From whatever point of view the exhibition is looked at, it must be pro- nounced a complete success. No better build- ing, despite its distance from the fashionable quarter of the town, could have been found; the ventilation (an important consideration) was perfect, reception of the their visitors and the arrangements for favored animals were all that could be the and asked. It was, however, in the general quality of the dogs exhibited that trae admirers of dogs found their chief gratification.

The principal feature of the show was the large and excellent display of setters and of the 1,050 dogs shown ers. No less than 330 int- were setters, and they oceupied 20 of the 105 classes for dogs of all kinds. Pointers were not nearly 80 numerous, and if the statistics of the show are any criterion of the estimation in which these two kinds of dogs are respectively held, the setter has considerably more than twice as many friends as the pointer. At an English show, on the other hand, point- ers would outnumber setters. The conditions. however, under which field shooting is carried on in the two countries are different. ‘The best quail grounds in this country are fields that are cultivated in a somewhat slovenly fashion, and persed with woods and young undergrowth. ‘The ‘old fields” of the southern states areas pretty quail ground as could be wished, with their thin but sufficient cover; and for such shooting the setter, by reason of its well-pro- tected hide, is better titted than the more ten- But onthe prairies, among D nature of the ground, and inter der-skinned he grouse, the general the o; pointer. scarcity of water (for the setter is a thirsty soul), make the pointer the more valued ani field: In Great Bi iD, , likewise, where the Is are cleanly cultivated, and tie grouse moors extend in vast unbroken exp e8, the conditions are more favorable to the pointer than to the setter.

Delicately upholstered cages decked with satin and point-lace—in one (for sweet compan- ionship), a wax doll baby; in another, a cup of rare blue china, out of which the pet might quench esthetically the thirst engendered by rich living—these were the surroundings which made show life endurable to the ladies’ pets.

Scotch coilies and Irish water-spaniels were well represented, and are com: paratively new to American shows. The exhibit in both of these classes was singularly uniform in quality—a remark which applies also to the spaniels of all kinds, among which was a tiny little fellow hail- ing from Pekin, but obviously a near relation of the King Charles spaniel. ——E——— A Real Old-fashioned Love Story.
