JeffersOn's Ofiicial Delicacy.

Jefferson was clear in his great Office, and
he lived up to his great principles. Being
asked by neighbor to write something that
should help him into Congress, Jefferson sand,
s'From very rly moment Of my life, de-
termined never to intermeddle with elections
by the people, and have invariably adht red

that moment, 1t would used as a signal to
guide speculation" Invited to share in 4
promising speculation, he declined. on the
ground that public man should preserve his
mind free from all possible bias of interest.
When the fugitives from the st. Domingo
massacre arrived in 1893, destitute and miser-
able, he wrote to Monroe: "Ne.er was so

A Clerical Joke.

There is a gay young Massachusetts, preach
er in Pittsburg named White who appe rs to
be fuller of fun than is usual wita men Of his
cloth. 1t is said he lately drank too freely Of
old Monongahela and got on an unrighteous
spree. 1t would not have made so much
difference if the man White only had got
drunk, but in this case the preacher White
became tipsy and played tricks upon his
Office. He was roaming around generally,
and at length went to the Western Hotel
to take rest. Here he found young COM
pany enjo, ing themselves in one of the par
lors, and he gradually mingles with them
and talked himself into their federation, II
not c. nfidence. At length, to vary the pro-
gramme of pastimes, he proposed that there
should be a marriage, and said he was . good
preacher to perform the ceremony. They
agreed that he was and took up the idea.
A young man and young woman were
found who had never seen each other before
that night, and they consented to stand for
the groom and bride. Preacher White per-
formed the ceremony and pronounced the
couple man and wife. He then astonished
the company and especially the couple
aforesaid, by announcing very solemnly that
the marriage was no joke so far as he was
concerned, that he was duly ordained min.
lister and had tied a very hard knot. In this
extremity old Donaldson was sent tor, and
before him White testified that the couple
were legally and lawfully married. Nothing
further could be done then. TIE papers do
not state how the young couple finally settled
it. At last accounts they were consulting
whether, in their curious predicament, It were
better to take their wedding as joke or
q practical reality.

A Queer Fish.

Last week when Seth Gre: was at Nav
vile on bushes, his attention was called to q
strange fish which had been taken from
Chautauqua Lake and preserved. It is diff
ficult to give minute description OF this fish.
as there is no variety well known with which
it can be compared. The fish is about six
feet in length, and when caught weighed one
hundred and thirty-four pounds. There are
one back and three belly fms. But the head
is what is most wonderful and peculiar about
the fish. The mouth opens far back and
wide enough To receive nail cask. There Is
large falling lip or jaw that sets back and
upward as the mouth opens. The inside of
the mouth Is covered with species of coarse
hair somewhat resembling the small feathers
or down Of an ostrich. Projecting for almost
fourteen inches from the upper jaw is sort
of shovel blade made of hard substance.
This insti iument would seem to be intended
for throwing food into the mouth rather than
tor attacking other objec.s or defending itself
against assault. As this fish has no teeth, 1t
is supposed that it subsists upon animalcul@
or other substances floating in the water,
which are drawn or forced into the mouth by
the blade attached to its jaw.
1t is said that only three of these fish have
Oeeu seen at cnauLduqua Lake, anu uOue Oh
these were seen in full life and activity. The.
first was found about forty years ago, the
second four year, since, and the one which
we have attempted to describe was taken
from the water few months since in a help
less and dying condition. If these fish live to
any extent they are in the deep water, and
not biting, and being beyond the reach Of the
fisherman, are rarely seen. When they be-
come disabled or give out from old age, they
NAV come to the surface and drift ashore as
did this. There is no fish reported in the
books belonging to the lakes that resembles
this. The outlet of the Chauia auqua has been
so obstructed by dams for the last half century
that no such fish could enter that lake by way
Of the Mississippi, Ohio and Allegheny, the
outlets Of the lake. 1t may be that few Of
these stragglers got in there before the dams
were made, and are spending their old age
there and occasionally dyiI 6. 1t would be
interesting to have this fish exhibited to
Agassiz or some other eminent naGuralist to
get his idea of its origin and to wnat tribe it
belongs-tRoche Union.
