Speaking of recreation, Rev. E. e. Berry,
of the Lutheran Church of this place, said !:
"I cannot say that l believe in long jour.
neys and a continued season of recreation.
l incline to the short periods of recreation,
OF few hours, day. or Few days, in
preference to the period that embraces
weeks Of time. The sweet loses when it
comes in too large quantities, but when
it is taken in small quantities, as desired, it
is ever sweet 1 am always refreshed for
pastoral work, for preaching, by q ramble Of
a few hours in the woods, in guest of game,
or quiet stroll by the waters side TO fish !;
these things refresh me wonderfully and
lighter my work immeasurablv." Continu-
Ing, he said, 81 expect TO go to Miffiin coun-
ty in a few days to fsh-to Belle,ille, where
Rev. Mr.. Folk of the Lutheran church, Rev.
Mr.. Campbell of the Presbyterian church,
and Mr.. William Roper of the same village,
VIII meet and join me in trout fishing ex-
cursion in the country that lies Off toward
the Bare Meadows, and 1 would be glad to
have you go with us" With pleasure We
accepted the invitation to join the gentle
men in recreation.
Our outfit was complete. embracing old
clothes to be used in traversing the bushes
that fringe trout streams among the noun
tains, gum boots to keep feet dry in wading
when such process should become neces-
sary, and tish-basket and section fsh-rod,
a ealise, large enough to begin a journey
around the world with.
Uh the day appointed, at the hour desig-
mated, S.S5 P. NJ, we were at the station,
each fully charged with enthusiasm for re-
creation, that the falling of brisk shower
of rain then, could not in the least dampeE.
1t was the hour for the arrival OF city
papers. Mr.. Berry invested in McClure's
Tines, and to season up with, We Bought
copy of Benefits New York Herald. Three
Turkish and Russian war maps gave it the
appearance of pictorial paper. We had
scarcely got seated TO trace out the intrica-
eies of the war situation, till touch on the
arm, as gentle as from the hand of a woman,
caused us TO look whence it came. Our
look encountered the full face of medium
sized dark-skinned man, with brown quiz
zical eyes, turned-up nose, and unpleas ant
face generally. He wore white plug hat,
and fine clothes of the latest style. Said
he. ''Excuse me. but the newsboy has sold
you nv Herald" With our experience in
newspapers one glance was sufficient to con.

had not been cut Of the nowsDoy's package
till bought. 1t was smooth and unrumplei.
The response was, 'sNo, sir; You never had
9 this paper; /; but you and the newSboy for It."
However, not wishing to be short to the
man, who still leaned from his seat across
the aisle toward us, We asked where he had
used the paper last. He said, .sDown yon-
DER" pointing toward the front end of the
car, and added, 81 know the newsboy picked
it up and sold it, We requested him to
go and look for the missing paper. He went,
and soon returned, full of apology, having
found il under a lady who sat in the seat he
had formerly occupied.
just at this juncture our eye caught sight
of the name Seligman, in tie Herad-the
name of the Hebrew banker of New York,
who was refused hotel accommodations at
Judge Hiton's hotel at Saratoga, on ac-
count OF being a Jew. Our intercourse
with the stranger across the aisle was quite
suggestive, that be was one of class of
men who jump at conclusions, without first
looking mp proper evidence through which
to reach proper conclusion, and therefore
he would be an index TO the view of the
class of his kind on the question Of the
right of the Jews. The parer was held mp
and finger placed to the name of Selig-
man, and he was asked, Sc What do you
think of Selisman !'' The ansver was not
long coming; he went OF as if touched by
an electric battery s.Oh 20 said he, as eIig-
man is nothing but gluttonous Jew, hog,
and the reason Judge Hilton would not
have him in his hotsl, is found in the fact
that the bant er is such a glutton that he
ill cat five or six times a day, and when he
gets uncomfnrtaby full he takes an emetic
and vomits it out. 1t was his vomit that
that they could not stand at the hotel"
OF course all that was a fabrication, TO let
Hilton down from his unpopular and unjust
position of race distinction in public houses,
and was evidence sufficient to tell where
the frareier stood on the Hebrew question.
Whether the story was original with him,
or whether he simply echoed 1t, could not
be- learned, for the train reached Lewistown
station about the time he closed his remarks
on the Jews. If the majority of people
held his views, there would be many lion
dens and fiery furnaces to destroy that peo-
pie.
A change Of cars and a ride of seven
miles brought us to Reedsvile, the end of
our railroad journey. The objective point
for the night was Belleville, point eight
miles up Kishicoquiilas valley. To get
there we took seat in a two horse stage,
the only conveyance present to take passen-
gers from the station to the village named.
The man who runs it, doubtless never learned
the process of packing sardincs in sardine
boxes, along the coast of the Mediterranean
sea, but that's the business he should be at,
or that of running a street car on city pas
senger railway. He packed eight passen-
gers and himself, bag and baggage, into the
vahicie and then vas ui1 the look ont for
