fairly until the second deal, when big

caused big row, which ended in the
flight of the Spaniards. The Indians
followed them through food and field,

weary and worn, arrived in Alabama,

Overtaken 10y night, when travelin;

many years ago, We storpcd for suppe
and nights lodging at small waysid,
inn of rather dilapidatcd appearance, un-
der some apprehension as to how W.

1t being now pitch dark-wc learned
that the fish had yet to be caught. Being
an ardent angler, and curious to learn
how the thing was to be done, upon his
invitation we accompanied him to the
scene Of action, Lrawliny mountain
brook within few yards of his door.
Before starting he took from closet.
where it had been slowed away, an ordi>
nary glass-globe lantern, with two long
tin tubes fixed to it on either side, through
which the flame was supplied with air.
Lighting it, he then took from his pocket
commoa pruning knife with a hawks
bill, called a ''serpc;' he was now pre-
pared for the fray.

US to the side of deep. dark pool.
which, with the glare Of the lamp dancing
over it like a ''wi l>o'-thc wisp,' looked
like the bottomless pit. With the queer.
looking lantern in his left hand and the
right armed with the formidable knife, the
landlord seated himself on Hat. project.
ing rock whence the descent was sheer to
the bottom of the pool. lie then SLOWLY
thrust the still burning lamp into the
deep water, where it looked like a great,
glowing koohinoor. Holding it thus for
about minute, he raised it slowly and
evenly to the surface. and around it, to
cur delight and astonishmcnt. were fifteen
or twenty 6sh of different sizes pressing
their noses against the glass as if eager to
get at the light.
Then, selecting the hest fish, cur host
adroitly tapped four of them on the head
with the bill. Of the knife. They turned
on their sides dead, without even tutter.
Thus in less time than it takes to write
this account we had four prime, half pound
trout which, with the addition Of an
omletie az lard. such as the French only
can make, mould Of perfumcd mountain
butter, and a bottle Of Banne, covered
with the dust Of a quarter century, we
had supper worthy Of record in Brillat
Savarin's immsrtal Physiologie da Gout.
This pleasant little adventure ut the
way side inn was recalled to our memory
by statement in one Of our exchanges.
1t seems that light is quite as attractive
TO the fish of the great deep an to their
cousins Of the mountain brooks. The
professional fishermen on the cocsts of
France, having recently discovered This
fact. are now making heavy draughts Of
fish, attracted to their nets by powerful
submerged lights.

The Council.
The Rome correspondent Of the New
York Herald, says:
all sorts Of anecdotes are in circula-
ton respecting the council and events con.
nected with it. The cross carried before
the fathers Of the Council in the inaucu
ration procession was presented to the
Pope by the recent Scotch convert to
Catholicism, Marquis of Butte. 1t is in
the style Of the 18th century. and repre-
sents Christ in glory, wearing a royal

clasp worn on the Popes breast on the

Benedict XIII (of the Orisini family, in

value, and represents the Holy Spirit with

formerly, it is said, a Pagan statute ol

trance to the Council Hall, was crowned
on the opening day with jewcllcd tiara
and clothed in pontiticial dress and orna
ments complete. A rich ruby ring wa:

golden key sparkling with diamonds. A
golden lamp and iour colossal wax tarers
adorned with miniature paintings were
lighted before the statue. Two Of the
massive candlesticks wore gilt, presents te

of bronze, by Cardinal Matte, archbishop
Of Saint Peters.
Some Of the Bishops lost their gold
chains and crosses in the procession
These massive decorations are Of some
value, and must have excited the plugging
tooth" of more than one pickpockct. One
cross was found in the church and deposi-
ted at the Office of the Osservator Romano
where it was claimed by its owner. the
bishop Of Mines. But the bishop oI
Curtaveccha and Corneto is still in search
of his lost chain and cross.

The San Francisco papers desire indus
trious mechanics and lahoring men from
the Eastern cities to smigrate to California
to better their condition. At the same
time it appears that employers on that
coast are endeavoring, by every means in
their power, to reduce the wages to the
standard paid in the Atlantic States, not.
withstanding tho largely increased expen
ses of living there. Emigrants would
probably wish thems Ives back again
besides assisting in reducing the reward

The summer is very dry, the thermometer
averaging about 50 degrees. While the
surrounding country of Symrna and the
more distant parts Of Palestine have been
subject TO different and dangerous earth
quakes. Jerusalem in her whole history
has not experienced one of these dead
yisitations.
The present coudition Of tho Jews ia
