A New Enemy.

Down at Escuminac, which is on the
southeast side of the Mirimichi, there is
an oyster bed known only to one Har-
rington, locally known as Stormy, on
account of dirty weather invariably fol-
lowing his visits, with oysters to sell, to
Chatham. He had gained great repu-
tation on account of the superiority OF
his oysters, but during the past two
years those he has brought to market
have not been quite up to the mark.
Last season, however, he save his theory
of the cause of the deterioration. He
says that not far from the oyster bed
there is gravel knoll formed by an
eddy ON the edge of the channel of the
Mirimichi. Happening to scan the bot
tom of this knoll with his water glass,
he observed several large Holsters. Two
of them were just leaving it, each hav-
ing in one claw pebble about the size
of small hen egg. He directed the
lad who was with him to scull the boat
along in the direction taken by the lob
ster, and one he was particularly watch
ing crawled directly to and upon the
oyster bed. It approached large oyster,
which, on feeling the water stirred, i'm
closed its shell. The lobster
lay, however, with the pebble poised in
its claw, and within half an inch of the
thin end of the oyster shell, and in two
or three minutes the latter begun to open
again. AS soon as it had opened suffi-
ciently, the lobster, with quick move
ment, darted the pebble into the open
shell, rendering the oyster powerless to
close it. The animals feelers were then
used to extract the contents of the shell,
which IL ate unite deliberafelv and them
lay on the spot as if digesting the sweet
morsel and contemplating similar
operation on the next oyster. Mr.. Har-
rington says that nearly all the largest
oysters are destroyed in this way, but
the smaller ones cannot open far enough
to permit the pebble to be inserted.

WashingtOn's Temper.

Miss Jane Stuart, in Scribncr for July,
tells the following story of her father,
the celebrated painter, and General
Washington: When talking one day to
General Henry Lee, my father happened
to remark that Washington had tre-
mendous temper, but held it under won
derful control. General Lee breakfast
ed with the President and Mrs. Wash
ington few days afterward.
81 saw your portrait the other day-a
capital likeness" said the general, "but
Stuart says you have tremendous tenn
per-"
"Upon my word" said Mrs. Wash
ington, coloring, "Mr. Stuart takes q
great deal upon himself to make such a
remark"
"But stay, my dear lady," said Gen
eral Lee, "he added, that the President
had it under wonderful control"
With something like smile General
Washington remarked: "He is right. I"

An Ohio Snake Story.

Horace Shipley, of Berlin township,
had an exciting encounter with snake.
He saw the snake in the field where ie
was at work, and attempted to kill it
with fence stake. AS he raised the
stake the snake darted at him, and coil
ed itself around his legs. He reached
in his pocket for his knife; it wss not
there, and no stick or stone was within
his reach, while the snake was coiled 30
tightly around his legs that he could not
walk. He threw himself upon the
ground and rolled over and over until
he reached some stones, when he smash
ed it's head with one blow. 1t was .
blacksnake, and measured six feet eight
inches in length.

Centennial Notes.

OF all the buildings the Main is best
patropized.
There is no probability of the open
ing OF the Exhibition on Sunday.
In the Egyptian exhibit is statue of
Rameses the Second, dated 1850 years
b. @.
Russia, though she was late, will
make a better display than others who
were early.
A great attraction at horticultural
hall is the organ. Large crowds are al.
ways in attendance to hear it.
Italy makes beautiful display of
jewelry. The ladies go in rsptures over
the exquisite mosaics exhibited.
The Wisconsin eagle in Agricultural
hall holds levees continually. A great
many foreigners mistake him for par
rot.
The Japanese have learned to say
"Dis fan, five dollar; dath fan, ten dol
lar" etc. Precocious people, the JAP
anese
The autumn will be the best time dur
ing which to visit the Exposition, and
the leading hotels have large numbers
of engagements for that time.
The guards are much more civil than
they were at the beginning OF the E1-
hibition. 1t is currently reported in
Philadelphia that several have been
thrashed.
The collective display of machine
tools by the manufacturers of New Eng
land cannot be surpassed in value and
excellence by any other class of exhibits
in the machinery department..
China and Japan are the most wonder
full workshops Of the world in their line
of wares and merchandise. They know
how to excel when they do work. There
are tables in ebony and china, gold, mo.
sale, exquisite chess tables of pearl and
ebony, and yet more vases, desks and
tables in mosaics, and large case Of
heavily embroidered grapes, .shawls in
all colors, which used to be SO fashion
able some years ago.
In the Exhibition you will find al
most all the appliances used for the
propagation of fish. The pans, the
pals, the spawning watts, the fish nur-
series-in fact, all the numerous inven-
tions of distinguished American fish
.culturalists. just such apparatus as you
may see here was used to transport live
fish from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast, which, when perfected, may en-
able us to introduce our own fish alive
into European waters, and in return to
take the best of their fish.

A Gods Stomach.

MIR. Frank Buckland publishes in
Land and Water an account of
mass taken from Gods stomach
consisting of horsehair and string,
the tibers of which arc matted
and iptertwined well together by means
of no less than ten fish hooks. All are
small hooks except two; these are much
larger. 1t is remarkable thing that
the points of all these hooks are turned
upward. He cannot quite account for
the presence of SO many hooks in the
stomach of this cod, except that the cod
who owned the stomach had somehow
or another managed to get hold of had
docks or whiting caught on hooks, and
i'll whose bodies the hooks still remain
cd. The flesh of tho whitings or had
docks had been entirely digested by the
juices Of the Gods stomach; the horse
hair and metal of the hooks, however,
resisted its action. That whiting and
haddock have frequently hooks left in
them is we'll known to all those who
havo the care of seals. Sea fishhooks
are very cheap; and the fishermen,
rather than take the trouble to extract
the hook from tho fish's mouth, very
frequently cut off the "snood " or line
to which the fish is attached. and let the
hook remain in sutu The seal swallows
the fish, hook and all, the hook gets en-
tangled In the poor seals intestines, and
of course proves fatal.
The cod is what is generally called
voracious fish. have now in my nu-
scum, says Mr.. Buckland, portion of
tallow candle, about seven Inches long,
also Il pair of sailors mits, both taken
from Gods stomach.

Once, boxing thro olgh little sheaf

L chlnced upon faded leaf,
And read, half smtling, half in tears,
This legend on the wrapping set
In delic tte girl writing small

And, 10 l had forgot it ALL
Nor conld think with all my care
What it did ever mean, and 30

Watt it away, and watched it go
With dreaming gaze. And is it thus,
mused, with this worlds joy and grief ?
Never forget" it seems to us,

Our scroll OF earth its story small
Comes not into that higher world
Besides-we have forgot it all!

The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1876-12-23

Last night about II O'clock, the fire
alarm summoned the firemen TO an.
other contest with flames aud danger,
and hurried sleeping business men to
the business center OF the city. From
the fierce glare OF the flames, those
who we're rushing IL the scene ex-
pected to witness terrible coDfiagra-
ton, and, but for the absence OF any
thing like breeze, aud the heroic
labors OF the fire boys, one whole block
would almost certainly have been con,
sumed.
The fire originated In the wooden
building on the corner ofIIouston and
Commerce st reets, occupied by Moore
Il Co., as produce and feed store.
This building and its contents were
totally destroyed, though we could not
ascertain the amount Of loss. The
house was owned by Mr.. Daugherty, Il
real estate dealer OF the city. The
building on the west ~ a two.story
brick, owned by Mr.. TennsoD; the
lower story being occupied by Martin
& Co., AZ produce store, ana the
upper story as rooms by various per-
sons. This building WAS saved from
destruction l,y the efforts Of the fire.

adjoining buildings on the west were
relieved Of their contents, and proba-

room Of the building next to the one
consumed, and was sitting up with q

a large amount Of hay piled around
q . yard Of the Daugherty house, and
the presumption il that spark from
some chimney caused the fire.
Dallas had reason to be proud last
night Of Its firemen, for In no city, at
no fire, did men ever work with more
, disregard OF labor or danger than did
the firemen OF this city last night.

their crown Of usefulness, aud we trust
!. that the city will learn TO appreciate
. their services.
