CiscOe Fishing ut Genera.

AT Geneva Lake, Wisconsin, about
sevcnty-tive miles from Chicago, exciting
sport Is found in catching the ciscoe, a
species of the herring. Though never
more than five inches in length, it is as
beautiful rs the brook trout, being COW
cred with fine white scales, giving it the
appearance OF aquivcring blade of silver
rs II darts through the water. 1t is 4 most
delicious morsel, though from it's irail
delicacy unfit for shipment, and is
necessarily cooked as soon after being
caught as possible. A peculiarly OF the
cIscoe Is that it runs for about five days
between June and 20, aud is never
seen, alive or dead, at any other season
of the year. Simultaneous with its
appearance, which is in countless mil
lions at every portion OF the shore, !herc
arrive In the trees, on the water, and in
the bayous reaching back from different
portions Of the shore, myriads of the
common sand fly, which become the
ciscoe's food, aud which are used -
bait. When the sport fairly opens, Lake
Geneva, which Is beautiful strip OF
water nine milss long and four miles
wide, with precipitous, sloping, and al
most level shores, Is then Tie most
picturesque place in America. The fish
is taken with u silk thread, diminuiivc
hook smaller than Nhc m,nnow hook,
and irom one 10 three flies for bait,
which you can supply yourself with
by merely taking n short turn through
the bushes, when they wall attac;i them
selves 10 your clothing, or by carefully
breaking a bough from tree. The run
is occurring this week, and tho shores
of Lake Geneva arc thronged by the
-ailv dressed gentlemen and lady fishers
as one vast parterre OF flowers. - 81

however, that the Senator is man of

he can best afford TO wait before he seeks
such national recognition of his merits.
