thing like such an autumnal angling seasca in this far-
famed river since the recant Salmon Fisheries Act. The
river has swarmed with Salmon, and the disciples of " Old
Isaac" have had rare sport; as many as twelve salmon
have been killed to the rod, and there aro few who have
thrown a line who have not been rewarded by an exciting
run and a full creel. On Monday, at Felton, Mr. W. Dob-
son, of Thirston, the Coquet's prince of anglers, performed
a feat unparalleled, we believe, in piscatorial history. A.bout
4 p.m., while angling on the Felton Casts, below the
bridge, ho simultaneously hooked two fish with his well-
known "tiny" rod, only 18oz. in weight; and his skill was
put to the test—" ho had a long pull and a hard pull," and

TILE HAGUE, Sept. 28.—The Second Chamber

AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDENER.—." I'm going
into the garden, Stock," said I, " to get a fresh posy for my
Aunt." This was an indiscreet speech. "Ah !" growled
Stock, " the misses she don't want no posies out of this
here garden. Not now, she don't." "0 yes, she does,
Stock. Sho thinks no flowers 60 sweet as her own."
"No more there bain't. None. The missus is right
there, Miss Margrit. I knows summut about flowers,
or I ought to it, and 'fy all England to grow
sweeter flowers nor ourn. But it ain't sweetness now, nor
yet completeness, as is the hobject wi' some. It's to have 'em
wallopin' big uns. That's the bobject. You grow your
flowers wallopers, an'
you'll do." "I don't think that, Stock."
" Well, Miss Ilargrit, I ain't a goin' to try it, whether or
no. I allus done my dooty, and I allus means to. I say as
them flowers as young Master Ley brings here is wallopers,
and nothin' else but wallopers. And I say, as ono o' the
'lect, that I shan't find no wallopers where I'm a pin' to.
Me—and a few more—we shan't be called upon to keep
company with wallopers."—Aunt Margaret's Troubles.

CUM

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have, in most instances, been
more satisfactory, the reduction on the Bank rate of
discount having stimulated more animation. At
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the dealings
have been to a fair extent, chiefly, however, in
autumn and winter fabrics. At Dlauchester rather
higher rates have been current for both cloths
and yarns, while in the hosiery and lace
departments at Leicester and Nottingham a mode-
rate amount of business has been entered into. In
the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been only an average
amount of business transacted in most departments
at about previous rates.
