Fishing in the Missis,,pp,., =

Fishing I'm the Mississippi. eEsi'
A Muscatine gentlemen writes to the
Chicago Post: 8iTr;.5r 9-,
After the waters Of the Mississippi
River get out of their usual banks in the
Spring of the year, they cover a big ex.
tent OF country. So long as the fiver
rises, the pickerel run up the sloughs,
ana out into the shallow places in great
numbers. 1t is common saying here
now that the pickerel In the bottom are
SO thick they've got to climbing trees /
But as they come browsing around, 30
to say, in the shallow places, they ara
shot by the sportsmen in great numbers.
Upon being shot they immediately ..keel
over," as the saying is, when the sports
man wades in, or sends his dog in, to
orlng them out; for, il only stunned, a.
is often the case, they will revive quick.
ly, and then off they go. 9 al 9gI tsss4.
AS soon as the river ceases to rise.
the 2ickerel every one vanish. They
nave an instinct that impels them back In.
TO the main stream the moment the river
stops rising. They do not wait for It to-
osgln to fall. 1t usually remains at pre-
eisely Che same stage for two or three
days. But this makes no difference.
Unless the river be actually rising, there
will not be a pickerel found nosinq
around in the shallow places, not one. I
We have kind of fish here which.
bark, They are hence called dog fish.
They are the meanost fish which swim,
but are very plenty. They are Of no
account as food, being among iishsa
about as disreputable as the turkey bugs
zard among birds, but as they gobble q
great many minnows when one is fish.
ing for pickerd or salmon, they may ba
counted AMONG the most successful pro-
moters Of profanity extant. -a.- i eg

A gentleman passing by the jail of
country town, heard one of4the prison.
ers through the CRATES, of his cell, sing.
ing in the softest and most melodious
tone that favorite song, "Home. Sweet.
home" His sympathies were very much
excited in favor Of the unfortunate ten
ant of the dungeon, and upon inquiring,
the cause of his incarceration, was in.s
formed that he was put in Jail for beat-
ing his wife.

NUMBER 10
From the Richmond Examincr, April 20 +,
A Negro Candidate for Congress,

A crowd of negroes assembled on The
Square yesterday afternoon to hear II
speech from Fields Cook, negro, an In.
candidate for Congress from
this district He announced himself in
favor Of holding another convention to
nominate another candidate, provided
sufficient time we're allowed him t0 can
vass the district before 1t met; but de-
'clared, if no convention were held, or
if one were not convened In d short
time, he was determined to be an inde-
pendent candidate, and run against Mr.
Porter at all hazards. YaR I.
Cook said the one hundred and flvs
thousand colered voters in the State
could not be controlled by the twenty
five thousand white men that belon eed
to the party, and if the twenty-five thou
sand attempted it, the one hundred and
five thousand would make it mighty
hot for item. He had been invited to
speak 10 nearly every county III the dis.
trict, and put it to the vote whether ,ho-
should go. They responded e.saye,'
unanimously.
A negro attempted to speak after
:Fleldss finished, but when the crowd
found ne was Porter man, they tried
to yell him down He got mad, and
wouldn't be yelled down, and held On
until SOME one went UP on the stand,
took him by the collar and put him
down.
Other speeches were made and the
crowd dispersed.

Francisco Serrano, the new Regent, is
one of those many soldiers of fortune in
Spain who owe their fame and rank to
the devotion with which they attached
themselves to the cause of Christina, and
the courage with which they fought du-
ring the war of independence. Like
many others of his class, be was literally
rewarded by the Queen Mother, and at
the period of her overthrow in l84l, he
already held high rank in the military
service Of his country. The Queens abb
dicstion and exile did not long retard his
advancement, for he took prominent
part in the successful movement against
the Regent Espartero, and Immediately
on the restoration of Christina he Joined
Narvarez in his scheme to combat and
destroy the Influence of the Minister
Olozaga. He played his cards with so
much skill that he continued steadily to
rise at Court, gaining such influence
over the mind of the young Queen that
in 1916, some time after her marriage,
very serious difference occurred between
her and the Kings consort, arising
out of the latter's Jealousy of
General Serrano. This domestic diff.
Guilty was indeed matter of public scan.
dial at the time. An attempt was made
shortly after by the Duke de Sotomayer
to ruin Serrano politically, but it recoiled
on that Minister'S own head, Serrano
succeeding in overthrowing the Minis
try of which the Duke was chief. Popu-
lar opinion, however, proved more pow
erful than royal favor, and Serrano SUBJ
sequently fell with the Ministry of the
Salamanca, with whose fortunes he had
identified himself Up to this time the
lucky favorite had been reactionary in
politics, but he now became Liberal
and he has ever since been identified with
what is known in Spain as the Liberal
Union party. He was sent in 1854 into
exile for having taken part in the Sara
gossa outbreak; but the revolution of
July in that year opened the way for his
return to Spain, and he became warm
supporter of the O'Donnell-Espsrtero
coalition. He played prominent part
in the coup d. etat of July, 1856, it being
principally through his instrumental
ity that the instruction in Madrid
was subdued, and O'Donnell enabled 10
seize power as dictator. For this servie
he was sent as ambassador to Paris;
but the downfall of O'Donnell shortly
after led to bis recall. In 1865 he was
appointed by the new O'Donnel Cabinet
Captain General of Madrid For many
years he has had seat in the Senate,
where he has distinguished himself by
uniform and vigorous opposition to the
reactionary policy of the old school OF
Spanish statesmen, and by his hearty
support of ell liberal measures. He has
taken quiet but influential part in tine
last revolution, and he owes his elevation
to power as regent to the character he
has won of late years for prudence and
moderation, joined to liberal and en-
lightened views. Serrano is about
seventy years of age, having been born
at the end of the last century.
