WILKES Spirit e tke Tsmss, in answer to
a correspondent who wants 70 know il there
is any difference between pike and pick
erel says: The pickerel is small pike
There are many species included under the
pike genus, the largest, probably, being the
maskinonge Of The Wesefn lakes and t'e
Canadas, and the pike which bit the wo-
mans leg of while washing clothes in one
Of the large rivers of Norway. The pike Of
rivers in England and the large Northern
pike Of America, may be the next grade,
while the doree, or golden-barred white
spotted pickerel Of the Thousand Islands,
may be another species or grade. In Eng.
land, the SMALL pike is called pickerel, and
taverns on small pickerel streams are named
pickerel, after the small pike Of the stream
which runs by the tavern.

orally Bea1aoeo.
From the Louisville Commercial. rH-
Yesterday a gentleman of the highest
character, = minister of the gospel, related to
us the following remarkable facts, which
were furnished him BY the Rev. /. n.
Thompson, awell-known Methodist preacher
Of Southern Indiana, and formerly presiding
elder Of the Mitchell district. One of Mr.
Thompson's parishioners had very singu-
bar dream, which ran about as follows, as be
related it to his family the next morning:
He dreamed that in walking through one Of
his pasture fields he came upon certain tree
near the path he was following, and which
had an opening, from rot, on one side. Near
the foot Of this tree, coiled along side the
path, be saw in his dream a large yellow
rattlesnake, and this snake, his dream told
him, had bitten him and killed him.
Afer relating the dream to his family
next morning, he concluded to 60 to the pas
ture, and there, beside the path at the foot
Of the half-rotted tree, lay coiled up large
rattleshake. Setting small limb from q
tree lying near, he struck at the snake, but
in 30 doing his foot slipped and he fell upon
the poisonous reptile, which bit him upon
the cheek. He hastened to his home, nearly
. quarter ofa mile distant, where two hours
later, he died in great agony. This story is
an almost incredible one, lat il comes TO us
from such high source that We cannot
doubt its Truth.

Three daily New York City newspapers,
two evening and one morning, have died
within month, and more must be on theiI
last legs. None of the dead journals had a
long Life; but lived long enough to lose al
least three or four handsome fortunes. Take
away government and official patronage and
forty per cent Of all the journals Of the coun-
Try would die. 1t takes long years of labor
and long investments in capital to establish
or maintain successful journal; but espe.
cially Is this true of this city, where the ex-
penditures are enormous, If live newspa-
per is printed, and kilograms from Europe
and al home. The Express is not among
the Oldest of the living city journals, but
since it was established, in 1886, it has seen
the oldest died out, as the old Mercantile
Gasstte, the old New York Gasdte, the New
York Daily Advertiser, the New York Ercn-
ing Star Of Mr.. Noah, the New York Amri-
can of Mr.. King, the New York Ercnny
Mirror, the New York Courier and Enquirer,
the New York .Siatesnsdn, sc &c. Theseof
the dead past, existing before the Express
was established. Since then, in this city
alone, over sixty daily papers have started
and died, after losing at least $2OO, OOO, 900.
There Is no business more precariOus than
Journalism, unless il is mercantile business,
in which it has been proved that in a long
course Of years from ninety to ninety
Eve per cent fail in busines.-N. y. Express.
