A MODERN SAMpsoN.-Henry Fidler IA
man of color, was convicted at the last
term of the Anderson county (Ky.) Circuit
Court of the offence of cutting with intent
to kill, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for one year. When first arrested upon the
charge he gave bail for his appearance.
His bail, becoming dissatisfied, attempted,
with the assistance of another man, to arrest
him. Henry declined to 60 to Jail, and
seizing one of the men with each hand,
took them up and ran across field with
them with apparent ease. He was, how.
ever, finally arrested, and when committed
to jail it was found that ordinary trace.
chains were insufficient to confne his limbs,
and heavy clasp of iron, made expressly
for the purpose, and fastened with three
strong rivets, was placed upon his ankles.
After his conviction, he succeeded in bend
ing this piece of iron in such manner as
to free his limbs, broke the locks upon the
door of the Jail. and made his escape. All
this seems to have been effected without the
aid of any tool, as none was found. An
other prisoner, who was in the Jail at the
time, states that the escape occurred while
he was asleep, and that lie knew nothing
of it till next morning.

A NEW FACT IN NATURAL HIsToRY.-
Father Hue, the famous Catholic explorer
of the interior of China, relates that on one
of his long journeys among that strange
people his caravan embraced an unusual
number of jacks among the donkeys en-
ployed as carriers of the expedition, that
these jacks at every resting place kept up
an abominable braying, especially towards
the morning, so as to render sleepimpossible
to the abbe; that at last he complained Of
this to the master of the donkeys, who in
stantly replied that his gracious highness'
should be no more disturbed by this bray
ing; that sure enough quiet nj ight with
its refreshing sleep followed, and on en-
quiring into the cause in the morning he
was pointed to the noisy jacks, each with q
heavy stone tied to his tail, "That," said
the driver, sis the way we settle them. y
The jackass stands upon his dignity, and
will not bray unless he can straighten out
his tail, and with heavy stone attached
he can't straighten it out, don't you see?-
Every time he tries it the weight on his tail
pulls him down and be shuts his Jaw"

THE FISH OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A remarkable feature in the natural his
tory of British Columbia is the extraordi-
nary abundance of fish generally, and of
salmon particularly. Salmon swarm in
such numbers that the river cannot hold
them. According to Mr.. John K. Lord,
naturalist to the British North American
commission, in June and July every brook
and every rivulet, no matter how shallow,
is so crammed with salmon that from sheer
want of room they push one another high
and dry upon the pebbles. Each with its
head up stream struggles, fights, and scuf-
fes for precedence. With ones hand only,
or more easily be employed a gaff or crook
ed stick, tons of salmon mig ght be procured.
Once started on their journey, these fish
never turn back. AS fast as those in front
die fresh arrivals crowd on to take their
places and share their fate. For two
months this great salmon army proceeds on
its way up stream, furnishing a supply Of
food without which the Indians perish mis-
erably. The winters are too severe for
them to venture out in search of food, even
if there was any to be obtained; from being
destitute of salt they are unable to cure
meat in the summer for winter use, and
hence for six months in the year they de-
pend upon the salmon, which they obtain
| in vast numbers in June and July, and
preserve by drying in the sun. Another
of the piscatory tribe from which the natives
derive great benefit is the candle fish, which
furnishes at once light, butter and oil
When dried and perforated with rush or
strip of bark, it can be lighted, and burns
steadily till consumed. Strung up and
hung for time in the smoke of wood
fire, it is preserved as fatty morsel, to be
eaten when. the Indian is pinched with cold,
and by heat and pressure it is easily con
verted into liquid oil and drank with avidi-
ty. The halibut and sturgeon attain to
immense size, and the bay and inlets along
the coast abound in marine wonders. CLAIMS
grow to such a gigantic size that no oyster
knife can force an entrance, and only when
their shells are almost red hot will they re.
lax their firm compression. There also
lies in wait the terrible Octopus, mon.
ster of Unsuitable voracity, and from the
grasp of whose eight terrible arms no living
thing escapes. No bather would have
chance if he once got within the clutches oi
such a monster, nor could canoe resist
the strength of its pull; but the Indian
devours the horrible creature with great
relish, and exercises much ingenuity in its
capture.

BOTH SIDES OF THE SHIELD.

There was an old dispute, about which
every school-boy has read, between two
knights, who met on summer day in the
still greenwood. Suspended from a tree,
hung between them strong shield. Why
it hung there, or to whom it belonged, nei-
ther knew, and each stopped to question
the other.
"Whose is this white shield?"
"White? 1t is black"
"Do you take me for blind, or a fool
that you tell me what my own eyes can see
is false?"
And so the talk went on, until the dis.
pute grew violent. Their hot blood was
up, and they were about to prove theil
honesty at the point of their lances. Just
then, came riding by strange knight Of
lofty port, and serene, calm;judging eyes
Looking at the angry men, he said
"You should be brothers in arms. Why
do see these passionate gestures, and heal
these fierce words ?"
Each knight hastened to explain the i'm
position which the other had attempted tt
practice upon him. The stranger smiled
To one side of the shield, then to the othe1
he rode, and then he said sententiously
"Do not charge just yet. Change places.
And, 10! the night who had seen tht
white side of the shield saw now the blacl
side also; and the knight who had beer
ready to do battle for the black was con
fronted with the white. Ashamed of thei
hot haste, they spoke each other fair, il
true knightly fashion, and rode away
through the greenwood in company.
Simple as is this story, it carries with i
deed lesson. Half the contentious O
life, would be at an end, could the comba
tants but see at once both sides of tn,
shield. The trouble is, that we have no
faith enough in our own neighbors. W.
do not believe in their honesty as we do il
our own. They tell us something is black
which from our own point of vision is white
and instead of going round to their side t,
Investigate, we commence calling hare
names and getting our lances ready. Onl,
now and then, we come across peculia

hrst to Mr.. Clay, who declined 1t; next, tc
General jackson, who also declined next

ton. In 1924, he was much spoken of as
a candidate for the Presidency; but, with.
drawing his name in favor of Gen. Jackson,
he was elected to the ce-Presidency by
a majority highly Aattering to his pride.
Up to this time all had gone well with
him, and he had brilliant prospects for the
future. Hitherto, he had acted uniformly
with the democratic party, and appeared
to be as warmly attached to the Union oI
the States as Henry Clay himself. But
now change appeared to come over his
mind. On going again to reside in the
South, after his long residence in Washing.
ton, he found the cotton-growing States
disconted with the protective system, which
he himself assisted to establish. He seems
suddenly to have changed his opinion on
the subject, and grew every year more and
more violent, in his opposition to tariff.
Reelected to the Vice. Presidency in 1929,
he came to Washington with the confident
expectation of succeeding Gen. Jackson in
the Presidency in 1882. He considered
that he had claim to be adopted by Gen
eral Jackson as his successor, from his hav-
ing withdrawn from the field in 1924, in
order to promote the Generals elevation.
Man proposes; woman disposes.
Vice-President Calhoun was soon en-
broiled in the affair with Mrs. Eaton. Mrs.
Calhoun would not call upon that notorious
person. MIR. Calhoun supported her in it.
The President was enraged, and this was
the beginning of a most bitter enmity be-
tween Jackson and Calhoun, which was ter
minated only by death. Other circum-
stances, of course, occurred to fan the un-
worthy fame, but the enmity originated in
the trivial affair just mentioned. How Bit
terly the proud and obstinate Calhoun re-
sented being set aside in favor of such a
man as Martin Van Buren, can only be
known by those who became intimately ly con-
versant with his subsequent career.
Still intent on the Presidency, he formed
scheme of uniting the whole South in his
favor by setting up to be its special cham
|pion, and in so doing brought on the nulli-
fcation troubles of 1882. Defeated for the
moment by Jackson's frmness and Web
ster's logic, he fell back upon the Slavery
question, and employed all the rest of his
life in inAaming the passions ofhis country
men, and forcing slavery issues upon the
North. During his last years he was a
gaunt, unhappy, disappointed man.
He died in 1850, aged 68, having plan
ted in the minds of the Southern people
the ideas which bore such bloody fruit du-
ring the recent war, and which still have
power to mislead honest men and prevent
the wounds of the war from healing.
