DEATH OF A NoTED HAE.

Robert II. Randolph, who was dis
missed from the navy by General Jack
son, and who pulled the Generals nose
in consequence, while or a steamer at
Alexandria, (5elieying he had been un-
justly dlsmissed,) died in Washington
city on Tuesday last, at the age OF sew
enty-eight years. Randolph escaped
arrest at the time by getting beyond
the jurisdiction of the county police be-
fore a process could be issued. The at
fair created quite tempest, the trium-
phant jackson party feeling that its
own nose had been twisted by this au-
dacious descendant of Pocahentas.--
General Van Ness, then mayor of
Washington, sent q message to the
councils on the event, and the boards
responded in a resolution of coincidence
and Indignation.
Randolph was fugitive for couple
of years. The act MANNED his pros
poets, and be lived and died in poverty.
He was cousin to John Randolph, and
leaves wife and three daughters and
one son. Floyd gave him the superin-
tendence of the Washington Armory,
when he was Secretary of War, but
Buchanan ordered his dismissal. Ran
dolph was a lieutenant in the navy
when dismissed, and had done good SER
vice under Decatur. lie was said TO be
h.gh-spirited, intrepid man.

GEgIo SCOTT ON FIsEIEa.

We decidedly object to MIR. Scett's
book entitled "Fishipg in American
Waters" 1t awakens in us city-bound
mortals such provoking melaories OF
the past, and such tanCaliziug desires
for the future, as are beyond all endur-
ance. We have read all that we can
bear, and laid the book aside until fate
permits us to satisfy the appetite which
il renders SO keen. 10 our thought
there Ia no sport more genuinely health
ful than that Of the true fisherman. he
is not mere catcher of fishes, lie
scorns the net. lie suiiers not the
spear. He Ia poet. He loves Nature.
The fish are simply his excuse for ram-
bliag in her widest retreats. They
simply afford the mental excitement
that is necessary to take his thoughts
of of his distant work, aud prevent him
from becoming a prey to the ennui Of
absolute mental inaction. Mr.. Scott
writes as a genuine fisherman. The
enthusiasm of true artist pervades his
pages. The experiences of a skiilful
angler fills them with invaluable infor-
nation. The facts respecting lines,
hooks, bait, poles, personal outfit, and,
III short, all the necessary preparation
for a successsul piscatorial tour which
are not to be found IN his pages are not
worth knowing. And when, about the
time these pages reach the eye OF our
distant readers, we start, as we hope to
do, pole and line ia hand, Tor the head
waters Of the Delaware. or, a little
later, for the lakes and streams of the
Adirondacks, We shall make a careful
study Of Mr.. Scott's Fishing in american
Waters our first preparation; and we
shall make his book the sole exception
to the rule which ineXorably excludes
ell literature from the f.sherman's camp
in his three weeks OF summer trouting.

FRUIT TREES.

The following respecting fruit trees
will be found interesting;
l. When fruit trees occupy the ground
nothing else should-except very short
grass. %
2. Fruitfulness and growth of :he tree
cannot be expected the same year.
8. There is no plum that the curculio
win not take though any kind may
sometimes escape for one year in one
place. ....,,t .,4
a. Peach borers will not do much
damage when stiff clay Is heaped up a.
round the tree foot high. H .--f
8. Pear blight still puzzles the great
est men. The best remedy known is to
plant two Tor every one chat dies.
6. II you don't know how to prtine,
don't hire n man from the other side
of the sea who knows less than you do.
Z. Don't cut otr big lower limb un-
less you are renter, and don't care
what becomes of the tree when ycar
time is out.
8. A tree with limbs coming out near
the ground is worth two trees trimmed
ND five feet, and worth four trees trim
med up ten teet, and SO on till they are
not worth anything.
8. Trim down, not up. ....
10. Shorten in, not lengthen up"
IL. If you had your arm cut off, you
would feel it to your heart-a tree Will
not feel, but rot to the heart n.
IL. When anybody tells you OF gar
deuer that understands all about hor-
ticulture and agriculture, and that ne
can be hired, don't believe aword OF lt,
tor there are no such to be hired. Such
man can make more than you ucan af-
ford to give him, and if he has sense en-
ough to understand the business, he Will
also have enough to know this.

4 PEOPLE or GREAT ANOMALIES.

The publication of letter in the
Paris journal, La Ltberts, by a French
man who had been sojourning IN this
country for twelve month. brings do
mind the aneedote of the Frenehman
and his pcrple kites on what he called
tho ''anomalieS" OF the American peo-
pie. The writer for La Liberte says of
the dinner given to General Grant by
Senator Morgan:
"Since Talleyrand, who said that he
found in A merica thirty-two religions
and one dist, The should have added
no napkins, as Talleyrand observed,)
the Americans have made very little
progress in their cookery. Eeverthe-
less, Senator Morgan's oinner lasted
through three long hours-as was right
and proper to a seini-officiai festival
During all this time, the man ofthe day,
whom all attempted TO draw out. and
perhaps on that account only drank
water, scarcely opened hi: mouth"
SO with the perplexed Frenchman,
who thus gives his experience of the
dining monstrosities of Americans. He
says:
