Butchery of Mountain Trout.

The trout go up the river in schools of
thousands toward their spawning beds
II unimpeded in their course, they would
separate into numberless crystalline trout
brooks and deposit their spawn far up
the stream, out Of the reach of saWdust or
fishermen. But just at the foot of the
Sierra Nevadas. in the State of Nevada
close to th~ us 'fornia line, is the Verdi
dam. This dam has been constructed to
supply fine saw-mill with water, and
great precaution was taken to arrange a
suitable fishery at one end. The water is
made to flow over sort of apron, or
plank floor, which has such gradual in
cline that any fish can ascend. This fish
way is further improved by means of tine
rocks and earth of the river bank. There
is large pool or eddy just at the foot and
lower side of the apron, and so the trout
find an impossible wall at the place
where they should enter the reservoir
above the dam. Thus the fish are i'm
prisOned.
Such restless impatient, strugglin priso-
ners as are these mountain trout cannot
be found elsewhere. They attempt to
leap over the main dam, only to be hurled
back by the falling water. They spring
fully five feet in the air, and strike the
main apron of the dam with terrific and
sometimes fatal force. They bruise their
bodies and heads until oftentimes they
die. They learn nothing from experience
but continue to jump against the dam
until, worn out and neverless, they
drift, completely exhausted, into the ed
dies formed by the piers of the dam.
One can watch for hours these poor des-
perate things in their brave struggle to
get over the dam, without having a mo-
ment elapse in which some trout is not
leaping through the air and against the
dam. Generally from one to dozen fish
are visible at the same time. tits grand
but pitiful sight to watch the great speck-
led beauties in their vain endeavors to
ct over the q am.
But the pltiful merges into the horri-
BILE when one sees the merciless grab
hooks let down into the struggling, quiv-
ering, exhausted masses Of trout gather
ed in the eddies below the piers. By
means of the short, unyielding rod, a
succession of quick upward jerks is given
to the four hungry points of the grab
hook. The water is full of foam from
the cascade, and circles in binding whirl
around the pool. The fish are crazed
and blinded by their fruitless, frantic
leaps, and readily drift against the sharp
needle-like points of the barbed
hooks. Once impaled, the struggle be-
gins. The hook may have entered un-
derneath the head or the body, or it may
have pierced the side, or the fins or the
tail. At the first moment of its fright the
startled fish darts away with fury OF
strength that is marvellous. A large fish
is almost ungovernable during the first
frenzy of its death struggle. The fisher.
mans only plan is to let The trout weary
itself with Its maddened plunges anc
leaps and struggles, and then by a dex
ferrous twitch land it on the pier. More
then half the time the fish makes some
terrible bounds and tears himself from
the hook, only to float with the current
torn, mangled and dying.

his innocence. It is hoped that investigation

Seaside Love.

The Chicago ITl6unes Newport letter
says the pavilion was empty save for
these two, but a wanderer outside hap
pened to beso placed thar the treacherous
ocean breeze waited to her the following
conversation, which she did not consider
sufficiently sacred to- avoid or to keep to
herself:
"Now, Charley, it's of no use; 1 can't
marry man who hasn't the means to
live in Newport summers
Charley, gloomily-You never knew
this blasted place until this season.
Irene-That is very true, but this sea-
son has shown me what need to make
me happy.
Charley-A house at Newport with a
man attachment-the house Of primary
importance, the man of secondary, very
much secondary. I never saw a girl so
changed as you are by this little taste of
this confounded place. wish the whole
concern-the whole island-was at the
bottom of the ocean. wish one of those
torpedoes would send the cursed town,
villas, four-in-hands and all, to destruct-
ion. I wish
Irene--I don't suppose it occurs to
you that we should 60 up with the town?
Charley don't know as that makes
any difference, there'd be only two idiots
less.
Irene-You needn't be abusive, sir;
haven't said that hadn't great regard
for you.
Charley-But you have said that
you've greater regard for house than
for me. Against villa at Newport I've
no chance. Irene, I can't see how you
can be so foolish. Why how do you ex-
pect to marry one of these swells2
You're not one of them. You're Just a
hanger-On a sort of chance visitor, among
them. You're pretty, know, awfully
pretty-b there are scores of girls as
pretty as you.
Irene-Thank you sir; you'd better
take your pick among them.
CEarley-No; want you.
Irene Idiot that am.
Charley-Precisely.
Irene-Well, sir, l decline the honor
It's of no use. Since I've been in New
port know just what want, and won't
have anything else. I'll live and die as ]
am, rather.
Charley (vindictively shying stones al
the waves)-Well, I've one thing more
to say. I think this cursed place has
more to answer for in the way of de-
moralization than any old Sodom and
Gomorrah that the Bible ever scared up
Last winter knew you as girl of sense
This summer four r-in-hands, yachts, anC
all the rest of the show have turned you
