this is attempted in connection with old existing party-

is demanded. A construction of this kind at the corner

What must it have seemed to those accustomed to the
regime of the old court, with its starched habits, uncom-

of commerce ? Meanwhile, those who had occasion to
examine the system more closely began to perceive its
rottenness. The Duke de Noailles, provoked by some

—Properly speaking, all fresh-
water trout in Norway are lacustrine, and all mrigratory.
The trout of the lower lakes ascend the streams only in
autumn; but the fell-trout and the tarn-trout first des-
cend about midsummer; then in August and September
ascend again, passing through the lakes they may have
traversed in their descent, up to the very highest pools of
the remotest streams they can attain. While the larger
trout are in the river, they monopolise the streams ; and
though very small trout may be taken in the eddies and
shallows, I have fished at such seasons in the Aadal river,
and the Snarum, and in other streams of the inner val-
leys, taking many a splendid trout, but for days together
of raising one under three-quarters of a pound. Where

a few hours after the larger fish have passed, one or two
tiny adventurers presume to peep at your fly. In a few
hours more the stream swarms with them ; and then, if
not satisfied with trout fishing for that season, you had
best change your quarters : in summer, journeying down
the river ; in autumn, higher up the course of the waters.
For though here and there a stray giant may still be
taken, the little fishes know full well that the main body
of the big bullies has passed ; and they, therefore, give
themselves great airs, playing the most extravagant
pranks, and swaggering about in pools and dark mysteri-
ous eddies, where no little fish should ever be seen—
