The Fish that would A-Fishing 60.

The Lophius is sometimes five or
six feet in length, with an cnor-
nous head in proportion to the
rest Of its body, and with sacks
like bag-nets attached to its gill
covers, in which it slows its vic
Tins; and what q cavernous mouth |!
Surely q fish so repulsiyc, and with
capacity so vast and apparently
omnivorous, would frighten from
its neighborhood all other fish, and
would, if its powers of locomotion
were in accordance with its size, ,bo
the terror of the seas to fish small
Ter than itself; but Providence
knoweth how 10 temper its gifts,
and the Lophius is but an indiffer-
ent swimmer, and is too clumsy to
support predatory existence by
the feetness Of its motions. How,
then, is this huge capacity satisfi-
ed? Mark those two elongated
tcntacles which spring from the
creatures nose, and how they ta-
per away like veritable fishing
rods. TO the end of them is at
tackled, by line or slender fila
ment, small, glittering morscl of
membrane. This is the bait. The
hooks are set in the mouth of the
fisherman down below. But how
is the animal to induce fish to
venture within reach of these FORM
liable hooks? Now, mark this per-
feet feat ofangling. How does the
Thames fisherman attract the gud-
geons? They are shy he must
not lot them sec him yet he must
draw them to him, and he does it
by stirring up the mud upon the
bottom. "In that cloud of mud is
food" say the gudgcon. Then the
angler plies his rod and bait. Just
so the Lophius proceeds and he,
too, stirs up the mud with his fins
and tail. This serves not only to
hide him, but to attract the fish.
Then the angler plies his rod, and
the glittering bait waves to and
fro like a living insect glancing
through the turbid water. The
gudgeons or rather gobies, rush TO-
ware it. "Beware Beware p But
when did gudgeon attend to warn
ing yett Suddenly, up rises the
cavernous Nemesis from the cloud
below, and "snap." the gobies are
entombed in the bag-net thence to
be transferred to the Lophius's
stomach, when there are enough of
them collected to form q satisfac-
tory mouthful Popular Science

The Indians.

On the 24th ult, we published au
account of an Indian fight in Mon
tague county, in which Esqinro Rob
orts killed one Indian, and narrow
ly escaped with his own life. We
have heard from the Indiahs since
their return to the reservation
they reported at Fort Sill fol rations.
They told tho interpreter at Sill
that the Indian killed in Texas
was mighty good Indian , only go
to Texas to git ride horse mighty
good Indian" Ono other ludian
was seriously wounded in the first
fight it is moro than probable he
will die from tho effects Of his
wound. Tho Indians rrcontIy
brought to Fort Sill two giris, aged
respectively fifteen and mir years,
of the Lee family-tho parents OF
the childran were murdered in Par
kcr county the past summer. Agent
Tatum refused to pay them for these
children, and told the indians they.
must bring in the little brother
of the girls, who was captured at
the time the girls were, beior" thcy
could get rations.
Our informant, Boog Bomar, tells
us that he learned while al Fort
Sill that Gen. McKinzie was within
one days march of the Kiowa camp
with his entire force, We hope tho
General has learned The rcd mur.
deres a lesson that they will never
forget. The Indians arc very anx,
ious for peace now in order that
they may have a quiet time this
winter. and be ready for their bloo-
dy work in the spring. Agent Ia
tum thinks few applications of
the Sheridan Remedy will oflectu-
ally cure them of the Texas fever.
