TROUT FIsHNG.-A practical joker resid
ing in a pleasant country village, some time
since had a visit from Professor Wingate.
The professor is a keen trout fisherman, and
seeing pond at some distance from his resi-
dence, he inquired
''Can you fish for trout in that pond?"
so, yes" said r., "as well as not"
"Possible where's your rod?"
81 have none. I'm no fisherman. But if
you want to try, we'll go over to s., and
get tackle, and you may try your hand at it,"
The next morning early, W. drove over to
the pond, and whipped it round to windward
and leeward, and finally waded in up to his
waist, and threw his files most successfully,
but never raised fin. AT length, as the sun
grew tolerably hot, he turned to r., who lay
under tree, sulacing himself, with book
and cigar, and exclaimed
81 don't believe there is trout in your
pond"
81 don't know that there is, replied r., inn
pertubably.
why, you told me there was I"
"Oh, no." said r., leisurely turning and
lighting another cigar, ''you asked me if you
could fish for trout here, and said you could
as well as not. I've seen folks do it often, but
never knew of one being caught here"

ian to his native State. Sir. VIM. Pepperell
was born at Kittery, June q, 1897, and died
July O, 1857. He was made Baronet in
reward for his services in capturing Louis
burg from the French. but he was not, as is
often stated "the only man in America who
was ever created q Baronet. His own
grandson was created Baronet in l774, and
Sir. WIN. Phipps. who was born in Wool.
wich, Me-, and was Governor Of Massa.
chusetts, was made q Baronet for his seryi-
ces in recovering the treasure from Span
ish vessel wrecked near the Bahamas. Sir
VIM. Phipps was born in 1851. and died in
London in 1895, thus preceding Sir VIM.
Pepperell in the honor OF the baronetcy.-
lie came of numerous family, being one Of
twenty.six children. His early education
had been so much neglected that when alter
serving an apprenticeship with ship car.
penter, he went into business on his own ac-
count. he was unable to read or write
These defects, however, he soon repaired to
some extent. His portrait would make a
suitable companion picture for that OF Sir
VIM. Pepperell. The State should cherish
the memories of these old worthics.-Port-

Tho Rise OF Paper.

sthe readers Of this paper are well aware
the riss in the price Of white paper, such a
is used in printing newspapers, has beer
enormous within the past few months. The
rise has been 50 great that the paper upon
which tho "Union and Journal" is printed
now costs double the amount il did year
ago. With this increase in the price Of pa
per, and also the increase in the price OF oil
other printing material, it naturally follows,
tina, publishers Of papers whose circulation
is, for the most part, confined to the limits
of single county, and which are generally
known as "cOunty papers," will have to
adopt some now plans, or else continue to
publish at sacrifice.
We have given the matter so far forth rs
this paper is concerned some thought, but
as yet. have arrived at no definite conclusion,
rs to what course il will DO best to pursue.
IL all Of our subscribers who are in ar
rears would pay up their dues, We might 50

or increasing the price Of subscription, hop
Ing that the present crisis will continue only
for shor, time,-a few months at most

lars Of the three or four thousand due us?

England Declines to Join Franco and
Russia in Mediation.

The following from the recent news from
Europe is Of interest, as it relates to media
ton in our affairs.
The English government has dissentcd from
the proposed mediation in America.
The official London Gazette publishes Earl
Russell's reply, dated Nov. 18th. Ii recap
itulates the circular OF DIouyn de Hurp, pro.
posing mediation. Ii recognizes the humane
views and benevolent intentions OF the Em.
perOr, and observes that the concurrence OF
Russia would be especially desirable, hut up
to the present time the Russian government
had not agreed to actively cooperate, al
though it may support the endeavors OF En-
gland and France. The question for consld-
Grafton was whether the end proposed was
attainable at the present time. Earl Russell
then comments on the decision Of Her Maj
esty's government as follows: after weigh
ing all the information received from Ameri-
ca, the government is led to conclude that
there is no ground at the present moment to
hope that the federal government would ac-
cept the proposal suggested, and refusal
from Washington at the present time would
prevent any speedy renewal of the offer
The government therefore thinks it would be
better to watch carefully theprogress ofopin-
ion in America, and II, as there appears reas-
on to hope, II may be found to have under
gone. or may undergo change, the powers
may then avail themselves OF such change to
offer their friendly council with greater
prospect than now exists Of its being accept
ed by the two contending parties. Her Maj
esty's government will communicate to the
French government any intelligence they may
receive from Washington or Richmond bear
ing on this important subject.
The Times editorially observes Of Earl Rus
sells dispatch, that his arguments have been
anticipated by the public, and this is the
best proof Of their soundness.

The President and Emancipation,

The Presidents Message. ii is said is near
ly completed. He will discuss in it the
question Of emancipation at length. He is
firm in adhering to Che policy Of his procla'
nation Of freedom. The Tribune correspon-
dent speaks as follows:
On Friday President Lincoln, in the course
Of an interview with unconditional Union
Kentuckians. discussed at length the ques.
ton OF Emancipation. He said he would
rather die than take back word OF the
Proclamation Of Freedom, and he dwelt up
ON the advantages to the Border States Of his
scheme for the gradual adjustment OF Sla'
very, which he urged them to bring fairly
before their people.
They assured him that il should be done.
They propose to start two Emancipation
journals in Kentucky to counterfeit the intlu'
ence Of the Louisville papers, and when the
proper time comes, Congressman Casey,
Judge Williams, and perhaps Joseph Holt
also will canvass the State. They are conf.
dent Of achieving a success equal to that oil
the Missouri Emancipationists after they
have once fairly got the question before the
people.

V"Carleton," writing from Washing
ton to the Boston Journal, says "The ret
ribution hour for Charleston is coming on
apace. So soon as the bolts can be fastened
in the iron.clads now approaching compile
ton, the expedition will move to attack that
traitorous city. The rebels cay that the city
will never be surrendered. In this connec-
ton, I write the words Of an excellent Un-
ion chaplain, uttered in my hearing MAY
the rebels have grace not to surrender the
city, Inasnuch as Com. Dupont will have
an abundance Of l5inch shells, let all the

CONVERSATION BETWEEN LIEUT.. GEN. Scorr
AND GES. B,NKs.-The following converse.
ton, according to the despatch to the Bos-
ton Journal occurred between the above sol.
ders, in New York:
In conversation between Lieut. Gen.
Scott and Major Gen. Banks, the veteran
soldier, with great emotion, told Gen. Banks
that he had watched his military career with
great interest, and complimented him in
earnest terms on what he had accomplished
"You will not" Gen. Scott said "expect me
to ask your destination, nor is il necessary,
for see that you have already informed your
friends that you are going South. That was
a clever answer, General"
Gen. Scott further said "My infrmities
cause me to long for southern climate, but
cannot find it nearer than Cuba, and will
not live under foreign flag.
Gen. Banks replied: 1--WE hope in short
time. General, that you may have tranquil
residence in any part of the South that you
may desire to visit.
