The annual meeting of the Maine State Associ
alton, for the protection of fish, will be held at
the Augusta House this (Friday) evening. The
importance Of such an association has not received
that attention which it really deserves. Several
States appropriate annually large sums for the
restocking of rivers and lakes, but if the laws
relating to close time and poachng are not en-
forced, fishing will soon be extinct. Within ten
miles Of Augusta, trout have been taken during
the past season with the grapnel or spear, con-
AIRY to law, and even consistency; for if the
out in our ponds are allowed TO remain for a
few years, fishing with the artificial fly or single
hook would soon be good.

Report OF the Joint Committee on the

tee say
I'm all just governments. both public and pri-

ton of government of laws, from the most trivi-

possibility that the result reached will not be the
true one. The executive officer may not wisely
perform his duty.
The courts may not truly declare the law, and
the legislative body may not enact the best laws,
but IN either case to resist the act of the eXecu-

We think within that time to provide clear

Remarkable Escapes Of Eminent Men.

Some years ago young man holding a
subordinate position in the East India
Company's service twice attempted to de-
prlve himself of life by swapping a loaded
pistol at his head. Each time the pistol
missed fire. A friend entering his room
shortly afterWard he requested him to fire
it out of the window. 1t then went off
without difficulty. Satisfied thus that the
weapon had been duly primed and loaded,
the young man sprang up, exclaiming: II
must be preserved for something great"
and from that moment gave up the idea of
suicide, which for some time pr evious had
been. uppermost in his thoughts. That
young man afterward became Lord Give.
