The Old Bachelor.

They are like dried apples on string

uany OF them are too stingy to marry.
This IL one ov the best excuses | know
ov, for stingy man amt fit tew hav a
nice woman,
Some old bachelors git after firt,
and can't tiavel as fast as she doz,
and then rouclNdas that a,ll the female
gronpe are hard tn ketcl, and food
for nothin when they are ketched.
A firt is a rough thing to overhaul
until the right dog gifts after her, and
then they are the easiest of all to ketch
md often make the very best Of wives
When airt really falls in love, she
is as powerless as a mown dairy.
Her impudence then changes into
modesty, her cunning into fear, her
spurs into a halter, her prooning no ok
into a cradle. ...
The best way to ketch firt is tew
travel the other way from which they
are going, or sit down on the ground
and whistle "a lively tune until the hirt
comes around.
Old bachelors make the frts and
then the dirts git more than even by
making the old bachelors.
A majority Of ilirts git married final
ly, for they have a great quantity of
the most dainty titbits Of woman's ma
tur, and alwus have shrewdness to
back their sweetness. ..
Flirts don't deal in poety and wat er
cruel they hav got to hav brain, or
else sumbody would trade 'em out Of
their capital atthe first sweep.
Disappointed luv must ov course be

An old bachelor will brag about his

Advantages of Being a Woman

Advantages OF Being q Woman.
A woman says what she chooses
without being knocked down for it,
She can take snoozc after dinner when
her husband goes to work. She can
go into the street without being asked
to "stand treat" at every saloon. She
can stay at home in time Of war, and
get married again if her husband gets
killed. She can wear corsets if too
thick and other fixins if too thin. She
can get divorced from her husband if
she sees one she likes better. She can
get her husband in debt all over, until
he warns the public not to trust her on
his account. But all these advantages
are balanced by the great facts that she
cannot sing bass, 60 sparkling, or climb
a tree with any degree Of propriety.

The New Orleans Picayunc says
On the 18th instant, while the United
States revenue cutter Wilderness was
cruising in the vicinity Of Cat Island,
Mississippi Sound. she fell in with two
boats containing a party OF officers
from the garrison at Snip Island, Mis-
sissippi, in tow Of an immense devil
fish Assistance being asked in order
to capture him, it was checrtu'ly grant
ed. and after considerable labor the
fish was safely hauled up by the ships
fish tackle, and the vessel steaming to
the Island his sutanic piscatorial mujes-
ty was soon on the beach
On examination the was found to
somc"hat resemble stlngarcc, only
instead % the head coming to u point,
tie space between the eyes, (three feet,
forming the mouth was concave, the
mouth itself measuring two feet in width
no teeth were visible The tail was the
same rs q stngaree without the sting
the color was dark brown, nearly
black on top and white underneath
measured twelve feet from head to tail
| fourteen feet in breadth and two feet
thick in the middle; his weight Was es
limated At from twelve TO fifteen hun
drcd pounds.
The history Of the capture is briefly
as follows: A party OF officers fishing
on the pier discovered the fish close il
shore, on the bottom apparently asleep
Col Il. r. Bliss, the commandment o
the post an expert fisherman and whal
err, WAS Immediately summoned, and he
ing provided with q number of har
poons with lines attached, at once call
ed fora boat in hopes to capture The
fish proceeding cautiously, the colo
ucrs first throw struck the monster
which made for deep water with tht
boat III tow. A second and third irol
were planted in him, but still he KEPT
on. Another boat went t. the asss
lance OF the first, but Notwithstanding
the weight Of the boats, with persons
in each, they were picked up a distance
of three miles from the island, the fish
being then about dead; four hours
time was consumed in the chase, and all
the parties engaged wee completely
exhausted.
Several attempts have been made to
capture one Of these fish, but few have
been successful, and but for the skill
Of Colonel Bliss, with the harpoons,
this one would have been still uncaught
A photograph Of this curiosity was
ut once made. and the surgeon of the
post, DR.. KEEPER will endtavor to pre-
serve u portion Of it for the benefit Of
science.
