Trout For a Dollar a Pound.

A correspondent, writing from VIII
Jamestown. Mass, SAYS that the prOprie-
tor of the Mansion House has fish pond
in which the speckled beauties dispOTt
themselves. and in which guests are per-
mitted to fish by paying 81 per pound tor
all the fish they catch. DIR. Railway and
family, General StetsOn and family, with
scores of other well-knOwn New Workers
are sOjOurnilg at the'MansiOn." Fish
ing in the pond is a favOrite amusement,
particularly as very few fish are caught.
Che other day the whole party tried their
luck with no results. and Mr.. Bailey was
ridiculing their lack ofskill. Finally, Cen
eral StetsOn asked permission to fish.
Certainly said Mr.. Bal ey, wondering
at his attempting where all others had
failed; 8 certainly, you may fish tor moth
ing; and, more than that. instead OF your
paying me, I'll pay you 81 pound for all
you CATCH"
{" All right,- said General StetsOn,
throwing fiy with the precision OF an old
AdirOndacker.
The crowd looked on with breathless in
terest. The float bObbed, the line ran out.
and aftera struggle of n few minutes. a
magnificent fOur-pounder was gaSping on
the grass. Mr. Bailey was astOnished.
But astOnishment soon gave place to grief.
Another. another. and still another levla-
than was drawn from the depths by the
plucky sportsman.
'Stop," cried Mr.. Bailey, Il" this has
gone far enough. Why, 1 won't have a
trout left!''
But the General did not stop then. He
went on until 200 pounds of the prettiest
trout that ever took flywere lying on the
grass. Mr.. Bailey was as good as his word.

The Mystery of the Schooner FlOrinda.

Some weeks since an article from a New
Orleans paper was extensively Published
throughout the country to the effect that
the schooner FlOrinda, which sailed for
California from New Orleans in 1919, and
were supposed TO have been lost with all
on board, had been discovered on island
in the Southern Pacific by an English YES
sci driven thither by continued storms.
The crew stated that the Florinda had been
wrecked on this uninhabited island twen-
ty-six years ago, and that in the interval
they had not seen human face. They de-
clined, however, to leave the island, hav-
ing established themselves in comparative
comfort. The narrative is said to have Gre
ated great sensation among the surviv-
ing relatives of the crew, and an effort was
stated to be on loot to man a vessel which
should visit the island.
The Louisville Courier-JotI7711L publish
ed an interview with a gentleman who
was living in Valparaiso, Chilli, in 1S49.
He states that the Florinda put into Port
Famine, at that time Chilian penal set
tlement; that the convicts boarded her,
massacred all the crew except a young
man named Marcum, and made sail for the
main land. On her way she was recap
tured by Chiliap war vessel, and brought
into Valparaiso, where the Courisr-JouT.
nal informant got the above details from
Marcum's OWE lips. Marcum's parents
who are still living in Versailles, KY.
proceeded to California where the son
soon after died of smallpox, at Placer
vile, in that State. The Bri ish steamer
Thetes had first seen the Florinda attel
her capture by the cOnvicts, and gave the
information to the Chilian authoritie:
which led them to send out the vesse
which brought her b OK into port. A
revolution was in progress in Chill at tht
time, and the records of the event may bt
lost. but the full details were on the log
book of Hae Thetes, which may be ex
amined in the office of the British Admi
ralty.

Welded Bliss at One Cent a Pound.

Boston paper tells this: One Of our
city clergymen was called upon yester-
dav to unite in marriage couple OF lovers
from Berkshire County. When the ceTe-
mOny was over the happy Bridegroom
asked the clergyman this unexpected
question:
How much do you charge for this -
The Clergyman replied that he had no
regular price-that the bridegroom usual
ly gave what he pleased.
s.Well," said the beaming groom, "you
have done this up well and (glancing
rOguishly at the blushing bride) if either
of us get married again we shall come TO
you, sure. Can't you give me some idea,
now, Of about what sum would be talr
for it?''
/" WeI,n answered Clericus, somewhat
amused, with a glance at the plump
bride, $ 1 guess it's worth about cent
6 Agreed" said the bridegroom.

Whereupon the bridal fee was imme-
diately adjusted. then and there, to that
scale.'' The bridegroom figured out
the rate at a cent a pound, tor welded
bliss, AMI handed over to the parsOn the
muniiCeat sum Of 50.
''Cheap enough, say" said Charley,
and tie happy pair started for the cars.

fereut days, whether consecutive or not, TO the

and for peace aud unity among all Christian

been some hidden motive for Moulton's
anxiety to participate In the quarrel
between the plaintiff and defendant.
1t is one of the mysteries of this strange
affair, and it is not quite clear if the
defendants counsel, in his opening ad-
dress, hit the nail on the head in regard
to the aims Moulton had in view A
court, however, would take the sipgu-
larity of his conduct, and, above all,
his undisguised evaporation against the
defendant, into consideration, and attach
but very little Importance to his evl-
deuce. And. as regards Moulton's wife
well, she is his wife, and had the most
powerful incentive in the world to GER
roborate her husbands testimony against
the defendant. The acquittaI of the
latter would be ruin to the witness
Moulton. With that alternative staring
her in the face, what woman would
net feel strongly tempted to help him !?
What court could take her evIqence,
given with such an alternative before
her, IS entirely trustworthy In no
German or French court would it be
admitted land it seems horrible thai it
should have so much weight in the
American court repeat, that on his
own showing the plaintiff had no case,
and that the proceedings should have
gone on after SO beggarly an array of
testimony for the plaintiff, odds only to
our long entertained conviction that the
American and English laws On evidence
are defective. and that they lend undue
aid to designing litigants.
