The Pole Hat.
by JOSH BILLINGS.

My friend, did you ever examin the
fragrant pole kat clussly?
| guess not; they are a critter that
won't Fear examining with micro
scope.
They are beautiful beings, but oh
how deceptive.
Their habits are phew, but unique
They bid their houses out of earth
and the houses hav but one door tew
them, and that is front door.
When they enter their houses, they
don't shut the door after them.
They are called pole kats bekause
it IL not convenient tew kill them
with club, but pole, and the longer
the pole the more convenient.
Writers on natural history disagree
about the right length ov the pole tew
be used, but would suggest that the
pole be about 500 feet, especially if
the wind is in favor ov the pole kat.
I hav kaught skunks in trap
They are easier tcw git into trap
than tew get out of it.
In taking them out ov n trap CRATE
judgement must be had not tew shake
them up; the more yu shake them up
the more ambrosial they am.
One polc kat in township is enuff,
especially if the wind changes once in
while.
A pole kat skin IL wuth 2 dollars in
market, after it liz skinned, hut it IL
wuth 8 dollars and Fifty cents tew skin
him.
This IL one way tew make IL sh;llin

The Cnsli,s Decision.

A poor Turkish slater, of Constan.
tinoplc, being at-work upon the root
of house, lost his footing and fell to
the narrow street, upon man who
chanced to be passing at the time
The pedestrian was killed by the con.
cussion, while the slater escaped with
out material injury.
The son of the deceased caused the
slater to be srrested and taken before
the Cadi, where he made the most
grave charge, and claimed ample re.
dress.
The Cadi listened attentively, and
in the end asked the slater what he
had to say in his defense.

BY the middle of March they are fat
and in perfect condition. The Arctic
current, setting out of Baffin's Bay,
bears on its bosom hundreds of square
miles of floating ice, which are carried
past our shores. Somewhere amid
these floating masses the seals have
brought forth their young, who remain
during the first period of their growth
on the ice-for FIVE or six weeks-be

the hunters is to reach these vast
hords during this period. For this
purpose they take their departure about
the first of March, steer northeast,
dash in boldly among the fields, and
beat about, as they can, in search of
their rrey. How uncertain is the
hunt may be Judged of from the fact
that the floating ice masses are two

The son of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that con-

upon the accused.
The Cadi meditatcd a few moments,
and finally said:

Then to the slater he continued:
"Thou shall stand in the street where
the father of this man stood when thou
didst fall upon him."
And to the accuser he added
"Thou shalt, if it so please thee, go
upon the roof, and fall upon the cul-
prit, even as he did upon thy father.

Sport ian the Ice Fields.

A Newfoundland correspondent OF
the Boston Irareler writes that great
preparations are in progress at St.
Johns for the annual seal hunt. AS
the time draws near for the vessel to
start, streets and wharves assume an
appearance of hustle and animation.
The steamers and sailing vessels begin
to take in stores and complete their
repairs. The competition is great, for
far more men present themselves than
can possibly obtain bcrths. The great
anxiety now is to get place on board
of the steamers, the chance of success
being considered much better in them
than on board sailing vessel The
masters of the steamers arc thus able
to make up their crews Of picked men,
young, hardy, stalwart fellows, well
fitted to cope With the hardships, pri-
vations and perils of such a voyage
Each steamer has on board from $50
to 200 men.
Steamers can make two or three
trips to the ice fields each season, and
walk round the antiquatcd sealer
that is dependent on the wind. Al
though the cost of steamer is heavy
from $4,000 to SIS, 5,000-it is found
of late years that the investment Of
capital in steamers is more profitable
than in sailing vessels.
This year dozen large steamers
will leave the. port of St. Johns for
the ice, and six additional steamers
from other ports; but only sailing YES
sells will leave our harbor. A few
years ago our sailing feet for the seal
fishery numbered 100 sailing vessels
from st. Johns alone. just as in all
other departments, the employment of
steam in our seal hunting will at first
throw numbers out of employment,
and concentrate the business in the
hands of few large capitalists. The
steamers can capture the same num-
Der of seals with half the number of
hands as formerly. Fewer men are re-
quircd for the work, and thus, so far,
the employment Of steam tells uhfa-

ParSon Welsh was the Congrega-

two or three generations ago. On one
occasion he was called upon to marry
a rustic couple. According to his Gus
tom, he began with, "please join your
right hands" Thereupon the groom,
with his right hand, takes the brides
left. "Please join your right hands"
The groom little confused, lets go
his grasp, and with his left hand takes
the brides right. "Your right hands /

with his left, her left with his right,
and exclaims "Now I've got her."
