The SHOOTING FIsm.-This very remark
able fish is a native of the West Indies.
Nature has constructed this aquatic sports
man in a very singular manner, but one ad-
mirably adapted to his sporting predilec-
tons. The fish has hollow cylindrical
beak. He frequents the rivers or the sea-
shore in search of food, and from the unus-
ual manner in which he provides for his
daily wants he derives his name. When this
hungry gentleman espies fly or an insect
not taking due care of himself, but sitting
on plants in shallow water, he swims away
to the distance Of four or five feet, and often
of six feet, that be may take aim at his
prey and when he has done so TO his satis-
faction he then with amazing dexterity and
cleverness, elects out his tube-like mouth
one drop of water, which is so well di-
rected and so swiftly shot forth that it never
fails to knock the fly into the water, and
once there all hope Of escape is gone-tbe
fish darts upon his prey and eagerly devours
it thus supplying us with another instance
of the diversified modes in which nature
qualities its countless millions of creatures
with the powers necessary for procuring
| food

Where man.crpation's tyraht, casts aside

A SILVER LINING IN DARK CLOUD
There has lived in this city the past few
years quiet modest gentleman by the name
of Peter Miller. He has resided in this state
for the past twenty years, worked in the
mines, and part of the time at his trade, car
pentering. Years ago he commenced to send
home to his widowed mother, living in
Michigan, what he could afford to spare from
his earnings.
Being a bachelor, he could not brook the
idea of having the idol of his heart toll in
her declining years; consequently he sent
her money at times, making no entry of it,
but presuming that his worthy relative
would Use it as she deemed proper After
years of absence his mother kept writing for
him to return, but like other old Californi
ans, he was proud and did not desire to go
back until he had sufficient to show that he
was from the golden state.
Time works changes, so it did with Peter.
He found himself about a month ago with
out labor-"atrapped," to use the common
term and the surroundings neither pleasant
nor satisfactory. Hewas unwell, and thought
OF home and the friends of his youth back
in the wolverine districts.
lie wrote his mother that he could no
conceal his pride any longer, and stated the
situation; II he had money lie would return,
but he had TO make it. Monday last he re-
ceived check for $500, and in the letter it
was stated that the money he had been send
ing home for years had been invested in real
estate, and that he had better come back and
take charge Of his property, which was worth
over fifty thousand dollars .-Oakiaad, CAL.

PRESENCE OF MND.-At a fire in a pro-
yincial town the goods in the burning shop
had to be cast into the street, and as a mat
ter of course, the night being dark, the arti-
cles were disappearing rapidly. A police
man observing man in the act of picking
up fine cheese made his way through the
crowd and stationed himself behind so as to
prevent any escape. The man rose with the
cheese in his hands and was preparing to
decamp, but on beholding the policeman he
suddenly changed his mind, and placed the
cheese in the policemans arms, remarking
as be did so; There you had better tax Q
care of that or me one will be walking OF

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There are beautiful songs that we never sing,
And names that are never spoken,
There are treasures guarded with jealous care
And kept as a sacred token.
There are faded flowers, and eters dim
with tears that have ralncd above them
For the tickle wur is anG the faIthess hearts
That taught US how to love them.
There are sights that come in our Joyous hours
To chasten our dreams OF gladncss,
And tears that spring to our aching eyes
In hours Of thoughtlrss sadness.

Wiping Ont a Bully.

General John Goshweler, one ofthe lead
ing capitalists of California, and one of the
really good fellows of that state, tells a
thrilling story:
One day in early times he was standing
in pioneer shanty saloon, in company with
great big fighter who was the terror of the
camp and town.
There was nothing this giant could not
whip, and very little that he had not whip
ped. The big fellow was sitting near the
bar when stranger entered. He was not
more than twenty-five, sic enderly built, pale,
with big eyes, delicate features, and hand
like girl.
lie stepped quietly up to the bar and
asked for glass of brandy. The glass was
placed before him, whrreupon the bully
rose from his chair, .ul E;< hig brawny
hand in lr,.nt o. lie vnnur .,er. l.r.. the
brandy and drank it. The pung ,nan said
nothing, bat quietly laid down four bits and
said:
"Give me another glass of brandy"
The brandy was put out, rha glass was
filled and th- bully again reached forward
took the ga-4 and drank it. The young.
ster put -four hits op the counter and said
easily:
Give me two glasses of brandy"
The two glasses were put out, and filled
and the bully the third time reached for
ward, took glass and drank it. The Young
man paid no attention even to the giants
pistols and knives, but taking the other glass
drank it and put down a dollar Then with
easy manner, he left ele bar for the door,
walked five or six steps turned like flash
of lightning and shot the bully through the
heart
As he walked out Of the door he said to
