The FISHING SEASON The winter fisheries
on the Potomac have so far proved almost en-
tire failures, and some OF those engaged in
them have removed their outfits to the Kappa
hammock and have commenced operations there,
with, however, but little better success. The
prospects for the spring fisheries, too, are by no
means cheering, though experienced fishermen
say that if any fish have entered the river the
prevailing weather is favorable to their ascent

SEVEN THOUSAND MEN AND NO WOMEN
A correspondent has discovered a com.

thousand souls, which has hourished for
many centuries, though no woman has ever
, been permitted or known 10 have set foot

woman is. The whole class of ideas and
sensations ordinarily associated with the
words mother, sister, wife and sweet 1T
are to them unknown, and, what is equally
singular crime is also unknown, or nearly
SO, while on every side are TO be seen
evidences OF temperance, piety and good
order. The home of this eccen-
trio but happy people is in the eastermost
OF the three peninsulas which project from
the north coast Of the Greek Archipelago.

with groves ofoak and chestut, while olive
and fig trees are there indigenous, To
this secret paradise the sons, but
not the daughters, Of Eve are ad-
mitted and s1ch has been the
custom as far back as history reaches, the
peninsula being religiously guarded at all
points against the approach of woman, no
matter how sanity she might be. The
inmates are natives of every part Of the
Turkish empire where the Greek language

Senators to, qualify, themselves by obse-
auiousness as nominees to the place on
