getting air and light. From this place
they were drawn off into the mill-run.
The water is then shut off with the gate,
and the fish are left laundering at the
bottom, an easy prey to the ready hands
which have only to throw them out on
the platform. From one run only, we
understood Mr.. Lawton to say, he had
taken out seventy-twe bushel baskets of
fish of all grades and kinds. These are
mainly bass, buffalo, crappie, perch and
a few gars. These fish are in splendid
condition, being large and fat, the major
portion averaging from twelYeto twenty
four inches in length. Sixteen thousand
pounds had been taken Thursday and
Friday last as estimated by Captain
Lawton. He had been taking them free
ly ever since, and we only guess at the
whole weight to date when we put down
at twenty Thousand pounds. 1t may
run up to thirty Thousand OF more. The
captain has been disposing of his catch
es' at six cents a pound. He was offer
ed by citizen, as we learn, three cents
apound for all, big and little, as he
might throw them out, but we believe
he declined the bid, preferriDg to ship
them himself.
Captain Lawton's mill is often actu-
ally stopped by the multitude of fishes
which get into the wheel, and he is often
required to stop work until he can clear
them out and get the wheel free. Each
year the rush down stream gives him
the same work to do over Two years
ago he threw out about fifteen thousand
pounds from his dam.

There: is a bill in the. Missouri iegis-
lature for making seduction felony.
It has been reported or, favorably by the
committee and will probably pass By
its provisions the complainant has got
TO prove that she, is of good character,
and that the seduction was accomplished
under promise of marriage, and has got
to prove these points by ether evidence
than her own. The advocates of the
bill claim that there is a class of men
who make seduction a regular business,
which is doubtful, as it would scarcely
seem to afford a-s1ffieient means of sup
port. A law making seduction fell
ony might be fair nough ifsit also made
the crime of being seduced punishable.
1t always takes two to make bar
gain, and the law Furnishes the bribe-
taker more heavily than the briber The
theory that women are angels of purity,
not knowing their right hand from their
left in such matters, is good poetry but
bad law or common sense. In the aver
age case of seduction the woman is as
much and sometimes more to blame than
the man The fact that she suffers more
than he doesn't make her fault less, but
her folly more. Whatever way the
state of feeling in Missouri, the tenden-
,cy Of opinion is toward equalizing the
responsibility in such cases, and gener-
ally toward the recognition Of feminine
free agency in the relations, criminal as
well as lawful, of the sexes Spring

The New York Iai6uas has been
searching Diogenes-like, lantern in hand,
and found at last an encouraging sign in
politics. 1t is not, it is true, the precise
sign that is obvious to all observers. 1t
is peculiar in sense to this journal.
The sign makes its appearance in both
political parties at the same time, which
in itself is regarded as suspicious. The
sign is this 'both parties are engaged,
in a greater or less degree, in trying to
earn salvation by self-hagellation." II
hagellation is going to do the business
for the country, and both parties need
it, would it not be well for those jour
nails which have been fiagellating the
Republican party so vigorously to devote
their energies now for season to the
Democratic party?
