firmed Greenbacker maintains that all
that is necessary to give it value is the
Government stamp. 1t is the same
delusion that has beioggcd the minds
OF many people and Nations in the
past that representative of value is
value itself SO thought Philip the
Second, King Of Spain, one of the most
powerful Monarcbs that euor sat on
throne, whose rule extended from
Spain to the further confines OF Ger.
many, and from the Baltic sea to the
Mediterranean, who possessed America
with all its mines of gold and silver,
and was in condition to give law to
the world. This dcspot, extravagant
beyond measure, incurred debts which
his Government found it inconvenient
and almost impossible to pay. Hence,
he adopted the tactics which the mod.
ern Greenbacker advocates. He con-
cludcd that If he dcbased the coin of
the realm one-half the Government
stamp would make it pass at its former
value, and thus he would be enabled
to wipe out one-half of his public debt
as with sponge. He tried it, and,
although he applied oil his power, such
as had never before been welded by
one man, II ended in an ignominious
failure. Within his realm his debased
coin brought ruin and bankruptcy to
all his subjects, while without, it was
accepted only at its real value, one halt
OF what it represented on its face, and
to keep the Monarchy moving and
save his people from irretrievable ruin
Philip was obliged to rescind his tyran.
nical mandate. Since the days of
Philip, other Nations have adopted his
exploded tactics with the same lament
able results. And now at this late day
with the light OF history to guide us,
.hese Grcenbackers would have this
Nation to adopt the same visionary
schemes which have proved delusion,

BA SS FISHING.

Genio G. Scott, Esq, who is said to
be successful fisherman, has furnish
ed the New York Spirit Of the Times
with chapter on bass fishing, which
will probably prove interesting to
many of our readers. What Mr.. Scott
terms the "Algomitc," is hcreabouts
called "Helgramite," &c. We copy so
much of Mr.. Scott's article as relates
to catching bass;
The favorite bait for bass is algo.
mite, bogart, or nipper, and is known
by different names IN different locali.
ties, and is found under stones, along
the shores of all waters inhabited by
black bass. The stones under which
it is found arc always partially sub.
merged, and it is stated that black
bass on every rising of the waters turn
up the stones with their noses in search.
ing for algomites and craw.fsh, two
favoritc baits, but the algomitc is the
best.
Bats for black bass are numerous,
and among the best for all bass, except
the largest ones, are the grasshoppers,
the black cricket, and beetle. The
most attractive flies for tho black bass
should initiate the yellow and neutral
tint of the grasshopper,
The algomite is as tough as India
rubber, and the hook should therefore
impale it so that the end of the tail
will not cover the point of the hook
and thus prevent hooking the bass
when it bites. Tho best way to bait
is TO insert the point of the hook OPP
posite tho lower Of the three pairs Of
legs on the under side of the bait, and
run it under the skin to the tail
The nippcr, as it is called by some,
is armed with small pair of nippers,
instead of mouth, with which it goner.
ally nips the angler while batting, but
not 80 as to hurt 1t is black. as Jet
NIL over, and q most attractive bait for
oil fresh water fishes.
To still. bait from boat on river,
select n place for anchoring your boat, |
either short distance above or below |
a rapid, or off from rocky shore
Let IL be in current strong enough |
to carry your bait some 80 or 40 feet
away from the boat. In summer, and |
until the middle of September, bait
with algomite, craw.ish, grasshopper,
cricket, or beetle. In September, and |
until the end Of the season, late in Oc.
tober, bait with minnow on single |
hook through both jaws, and let tho
bait play naturally. Use no sinkcr on
the line in any case, as the swivel is
generally enough but If not, put q
split shot on the lead one foot above
the bait. Never permit slack line, or
you cannot feel bite. As soon as the |
bass feels the hook, he will either leap
out OF the water or try TO overrun, and
gain slack line. Do not play the fish
with too hard draw on the line, but
keep reeling up gently, never mind his
acrobatic movements, leaps, and som.
ersaults above the water, and when
nearing the boat do not let him touch |
the side, or he will use his tail as
a lever TO enable him to reject the
hook Never bc sure Of your fish un
til you have landed him, and you will
find that he will engage all your at.
tention.
