Fishing with Cormorants In England.
From the London Daily Telegram

\ very curious sport is gaming ground in
this country. The use of cOrmorants for fish.
ing purposes has been practlced for centuries
by the Chinese, who carefully train these
birds TO deliver their prey uninjursd TO their
master instead of appropriaing II to their
own use; and from China and other Oriental
countries ii has been brought 10 England
Cormorant fishing recalls, in measure, the
old days of falconry, with the exception that
while the featS of the trained hawks and ial.
cons were performed in mid air, the perform
anCes of the "Sea crow as the French call 1t,
take place IN the water.
With a ring placed round their necks 10
prevent them from swallowing their booty
though well trained birds will dispense with
this restraint-ihe cormorants plunge at a
given signal into the water, and hardly ever
fail TO bring up finny prize. Their broad
wcbbed feet, and their thin, keel shaped body,
admirably adapt them for swimming and
diving; and they will often use their short,
stiff wings as an additional means of propul-
sion. So swift are they, and so sudden their
descent, that the nimblest fish cannot escape
them.
If they seize their prey otherwise than by
the head they ascend 10 the surface, and,
quickly jerking il into the air, will adroitly
catch II as it falls headformost The appear.
ance of a number of cormorants thus engaged,
and regularly bringing their booty TO their
owners hand, is a very pleasing sight.

The New York World says:

The New York lYOrld says:
of the Democracy had stood by Tweed, as
the Republicans have stood by Grant, he
might to day be making a canvass, with a
great many piOus and respectable people per.
iectly convinced of his innocence, instead OF
beng an eX-cOnvict and lurking fugitive. He
was so we'll aware Of this himself that he
promised the leaders of the party in this state,
previous to the convention of 1871, to throw
money into the campaign and carry the cleo
ton; but the convention at Rochester chose
temporary defeat and honor rather than COM
pliclty with knavery, and, under the active
leadership of Samuel j. Tllden, turned the
Tammany delegation out of It's deliberations.
1t was the first great victory for pure govern
ment."
The harm which Tweed did is the merest
trife when compared with the evil directly
and indirectly flowing from that organized
iniquity known as Grantism. Yet Demo
Gratis, led by Democrat, hunted Tweed out
of the country, while the Republican party
has sustained Grant for nearly eight years,
and Republican national convention COM
mended HIM TO "the continued and hearty
gratitude OF the American people" Long
after the money which Tweed stole and vast
cd has been restored ten-fold by the industry
of the community upon which he was sad
died by Republican legislature, the corrup.
ton systematized by Grant and sanctioned
and supported by the Republican party will
be spreading Its dcmoralizing influences over
the length and breadth of the land. Tweed
has gone, and his scoundielism has gone with
him; but when Grant goes Grantism will re-
nam, 10 curse the nation which tolerated its
birth and growth. The Democratic party de-
nouHced Tweed and crushed him and his.
What has the Republican party done to Grant
and Grantism? Read the seventeenth reso-
luton of its plytform and see.-St. Louis Re

ON THE DEATH OF ROB ROY.

Night slowly closed DER the mighty Ben Lo.

The mist on the hillside rolled gently along,
The clansmen are gathered beside the MacGre-
COR,
But still is the pbroch and hushed is the song.
On a low couch Of heather the chicitain is lying
Whose kinsmcn stand round him all mournful
and sad,
For It's plainly revealed that their leader is dy-
ing,
And they know that his death will their foeman
make glad.
A footstep is heard! up rose the MacGregor,
And wildly looked round him and called for his
plaid;
him,
HIS dirk and his claymorc beside him are laid.
Then smile lights his visage, Twas the step
OF a foeman
That an enemy saw the MacGrcgor defenccless
Or powerless to strike till in death he is laid"
Twas too much for the hero his eyes are fast
He slowly falls back on his couch once again;
The clansmen move forward and draw close
around him
To hear his last words which to speak he seems
fain.
In low accents he whispered MacGrcgor is
dying,
And the sun Of tomorrow shall see rue no more,
But my spirit shall dwell 'mongst my own native
mountains
And ride on the blast with the cataract's roar
Thus died the last chief of the brave clan Greg.

These are official figures printed at the gov

tell their own story. In 1869, when Grant
came into office, he found 54,207 civil en-
ployes on the pay.rolls. In 1871 that number,
under his administration, was increased to
j7905. In 1873 he still further increased the
payroll to $1,000. And in 1872 he ran it up
to the enormous figure of 94,110.
The democratic commi tees Of the house
have reduced the appropriations $4o0O0,O0O,
which, if passed by the senate, will have the
effect of sending fifty thousand of these office.

way, and will leave Gen. Grant about the
same number of employees he had when he
came into office in 1869, namely, 54,2O7, or
10000 more than was found to be necessary
in 1859, under Democratic rule He and the
republican senate are fighting to keep those

The Army OF Ofiiceholdcrs.

In presenting one of the appropriation bill:
Of the house few days ago, the Hon, Fer

upon the resources and expenses of the gov

In one Of the interesting tables which were
embodied IN 1t, there was presented state
ment of the number of employees borne upon
the civil list of the United States from 1853
to 1915, inclusive, compiled from the biennial
official registers. 1t shows the enormous
growth of the federal patronage and the utter

and economy. The following Is a summary
of the table and we ask tor it the careful con

COUNTRY CHILDREN.

Little fresh violets,
Born In the wild wood;
Sweetly illustrating
Innocent childhood;
Shy as the antelope
Brown as a berry
Free as the mountain air,
ROmping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sun bOnnets,
Prayed at the edges;
Up in the apple trees,
Needless OF danger,
Manhood In embryo
StareS at the stranger,
Out in the hilly patch,
Seeking the berries
Under the orchard tree,
Fcasting on cherries
Tramping the clover blooms
Down 'mOng the grasses,
No voice TO hinder them,
Dear lHus ana lasSes
No grim propiiety--
No interdiction;
Free as the birdlings
From city restriction.
Coming the purest blood,
Strengthening each muscle,
DOMINIC health armor
'Gainst life's coming hustle!
Dear little innoccnts,
Born in the wild wood.
Oh, that all little ones
Had such childhood
Gods blue spread over them,
Gods green beneath them,
No sweeter heritage
Gould we bequeath them!
