FISH AND.SEA LIONS
MeSSrS Editors:


When a man goes fishing
and comes home with handsome
string of bass, the natural SUPPOSE
ton is-he issin luck. Hoao these
fish are caught is sometimes amin
teresting problem. Wewent down
on business yesterday evening to
the mouth of the Opequon. A
small boy anxiously inquired oil
us, "Are you MIR. Bridge?o We
felt complimented, hut said no.
Then, said the boy, if you are not
Mr.. Bridge, you are Mr.. Gerhardt,
or some of those fellows that buy
my bass?
Now, sir, we contend that this
boy has told the truth. This ac-
counts for just hoaO that "eight-
ounce minnow' and the three or
phan bass' were caught. We en-
ter our protest against this decep.
ton. And again; man who will
lose his lead pencil in the Opequon
and find that same pencil, two
days afterwards, floating down the
Potomac, while he was fishing foI
bass at Harper's Ferry, will cleo
trify this community some day, by
having cosghta sea lion, like the
one in Robinson's circus.
We are glad for this community
that small boys don't SET sea lions,
We always heard sulphur acdteg
was a good tonic. How it should
make a man nervous we can't see
We take ours straight, Mr.. Bridge
Bass as. EAINNows.
