AyERsEY FISH STORY.

The last fish story comes from New
Jersey. Lately, in the interior of that state,
a mild looking countryman entered q
railroad car, bearing bundle tied up in
. handkerchief, which he placed under his
seat 1t the end of the car. After travel
ling along for about half an hour, a lady
sitting in front of the countryman was
observed to move uneasily in her seat,
and to cast savage glances at a seemingly
respectable man sitting by her side.
" In few moments afterwards another
lady still further to the front "became
uneasy and at last, rising in her seat,
requested if some gentleman in the car
would protect her from an elderly-looking
gentleman by her side, and whom she
stated had insulted her
Adozen persons offered their assistance,
and before the accused could speak in his
own defence his hat was .jammed over his
eyes and he was dragged to the rear of the
car.
While there, and carrying on with the
avengers war OF words as to what the
indignity meant, still another lady rose,
also, further up the car, and accused 4
gentleman sitting behind her with improp-
er conduct
A rush was made for insulter number two,
but that gentleman vigorously defended
himself with 4 large walking stick he
happened to have (and which by the by
p was one cause of the last troubles, his ac-
cuser stating that he had indeeorously.
been rapping her ankles under the seat
with the same), and while the struggle to
get at him was still in progress, some
body in the front of the car shouted there's
asssnake on the floor" A scene then
ensued. The ladies in the car clambered
mp on the seats and many got on the arms
and, backs of the same. One elderly
maiden managed to stand on the backs

possible Under the circumstances. while

The confusion awoke the countryman.
who, ON being told of the snake, first felt
in his bundle, and then exclaimed, I'm
blamed If thai old eel haint got loose"
started for the front. and soon returned
grasping firmly an immense eel. which
when brought into the car, had managed
to get out of the bundle, and had wendell
its way to the front, lovingly caressing
the different varieties of ladies' carriers
which he encountered on the way.
Apologies given and received straight
ened everything in that car but the hat
that was jammed down, and the country
man leaving at the next station, no blood
was drawn.
