How A FRENCHMAN DOES HIS FIsHING-A
Paris correspondent to the New York Times tells
how NJ. De la Rue public man of some note in
France, goes fishing at his country place, at
follows:
''He has domesticated the cormOrant in France
Nothing is more curious than to see his favorite
bird, Old Tom, dive into the Seine at Corbei
and shoot like an arrow through the water in
chase OF fleeing fish With patience and-kind-
ness the cOrmorant can easily be trained Be-
fore going out for sport the birds are left for
some hours without food; they are then taken to
loosely in order to prevent the cormorant from
Rue sits Old Tom upon the edge of a fiat
boat, and he is speedily followed by Young
Dick, who watches every movement of his
superior in age. Presently Old Tom makes a
dive, and Dick steps into his place. If the water
is clear, one can trace Toms rapid movements
with the eye, and watch the sharp turns made
by him and the fish, as the latter makes frantic
efforts to escape. If he misses his game, Tom
comes up looking very much ashamed Of HIM
SELF and sits upon the fat while Dick takes a
plunge. If he catches the fish, as is generally
the case, he comes to the surface and gives 1t a
toss into the air, catching it by the head and let
ting it slide down INTO his pouch, where 1t is
stopped by the ligature. The bird makes no OPP
position when the fish is taken, and takes his
place for another dive. When the plumage of
the cormorant becomes saturated with water, he
becomes heavy and then Spreads himself in the
sun to dry, where he must be left in peace.
From time to time a small fish is given HIM to
eat, the liSature being removed for the purpose"

and the audience not unnaturally became anx-

sound OF a voice from the ,bin family calling
for assistance. The box was, Of course, inlmt :
dlately opened, and terrible sight disclosed to
view.
The unfortunate man, it is stated was nearly
dead, and blood was observed gushing out Of his
eyes and nose. medical gentleman, fortunate

the ante-room and promptly attended to. The
manager subsequently appeared on the platform
and announced that most cowardlv act had
been committed by the man who secured the box
as he must have known something about the
working Of the feat, notwithstanding the chal-

box and solve the mystery. The story should be
a warning both to spectators and performers of
tricks of this description.

'.EsgE GREAT AMERICAN SVEN
DIE,

We don't think Mr. Melllsh, Of New
York, was very much out of the way when
he styled the system under which emile
age is paid to Senators and Representa-
tiyes in Congress, as "thc great American
swindle," Ordinarily, we take it, where
there Is swindle there must be a swindler
but to charge an honorable gentleman
with being swindler or participating in a
swindlc would be SANDER or libel, and
subject the person making the charge to
criminal indictment and civil suit We
presume that Mr.. Mellish will be as willing
to accept the responsibility as Horace Gree
ley was, upon the same subject, just Il
quarter OF century ago. lie will now,
we imagine, endeavor to shelter himself
under the constitutional provision that a
Senator or Representative shall not be call.
ed in question for words spoken in debate.
The truth of the charge is a complete jus-
LITIGATION thereof. This matter of mileage
always was swindle, and we presume it
will always remain such. 1t sticks like n
leech and there seems no getting rid of it.
1t is not now, however, quite as bad as
when Greeley wrestled with it. Then il
was most stupendous abuse aud fraud,
probably the greatest which had, at that
time, affected the body polite. Under it,
the mileage OF many Senator and Repre-
