INSTINCT -oE F1sa -On the side Of the
Collins Companys Joiner shop, near Hart,
ford, Ct., the water in the pond comes
directly under the windows, The workmen
have been in the habit of throwing particles
of food into the water, which has attracted
large numbers of small fish to the spot
and now at any hour, on rapping on, the
side of the shop over the water, the fish
will come from all parts Of the pond, so
that the water is black with the vast crowds.
Some ofthem are eight inches in length
They come at any time, whether food is
thrown or not, only by gently rapping on
the side of the shop.

Chicago with the exception Of short
interval, when he voluntarily with

appointed, in 1889, member Of the
board Of visitors to West Point.
General Cass' whole life has been
one of public usefulness. His entire
time and energies have boen employed
for the benefit Of the whole public,
and particularly that Of this State, and
all his undertakings have been marked
with success. Heis strictly a business
man, practical in conception, and in
dustrious and promptin execution. In
manner he is courteous, with pleasing
address and impressive presence. As
a railroad manager he has few com
peers, the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago being acknowledged one Of
if not the best systemntized road in
