FiSk'S First Mistake.

Fisk used to often tell about his first
mistake in life. Said the Colonel ::
When | was a little boy on the Yer
mont farm, my father took me up to
the stable one day, where II row of cows
stood in the stable. Said he James,
the stable window is pretty high for a
boy, but do you think that you could
take this shovel and clean out the sta
ble?' i don't know, Pop said James,
| never have done it, 'Weli, my boy,
if you will do it this morning, I'll give
you a bright silver dollar said his
father, patting him on the head, while
he held the silver dollar before his
eyes. Good, said James I'll try, and
away he went to work. He tugged, and
pulled, and lifted, and putted, and,
finally, it was done, and his father gave
him bright silver dollar, saying,
That's right, James you did it splen-
didly, and now | find you can do it so
nicely, l shall have you do it every
morning, all winter ="

We received information to-day from
several citizens residing near Horn Lake,
Mississippi, that last Saturday some
hunters found the remains of white
man in a bayou near the lake. The
body could hardly be recognized-Owine
to the fact that the hogs had eaten it in
a horrible manner-but it is generally
believed that It is the body Of Captain
William Kidd, the Horn lake fisherman,
who mysteriously disappeared about four
weeks ago. The citizens residing in the
vicinity took charge Of the remains and
will investigate the matter.
