QUEER CAPTURE OF SwoRDFIsH.-Captain
Nfnmore, OF the schooner l.. I. Whitmore
which arrived in this city recently from Flor
| Ida, reports that one day during the voyage
when apparently becalmed, he threw his log
| to see if he was making any Roadway The
| log was new patent kind. In few minutes
Capt.N hitmore took hold of the log line To pull
! IN The log, when 10 his establishment he found
he could not move it. Calling two or three
| men to his assistance, they finally succeeded
IN getting the log close up 10 the vessel, when
| they found that they had large swordfsh in
| tow. 1t is supposed that the fish grabbed the
| log when II was first thrown overheard, and i'm
an upright position; then il became wedged i'm
! Its mouth in some manner, and the more the
| fish tried to free itself the more il became
| Snarled up in the log line Another line was
made fast to the fish, and the crew of the
! WhltmOre got il on board. Ii weighed 30l
| pounds.-[FdH Rtoer Ners.
THIS is how she bathes: knowing, while she
| pretendS TO despise it, that beauty unadorned,
| and so forth, she comes out in a ravishing
bathing suit that shames the devices, the pads,
the curves, the outlines OF art, as the Venus of
Milo shames a candy doll And she cries ''Oh
| dear" in the piercingest pathOs as she treads
| on smooth clam shell, and tries TO look like
| NarcisSe, and hopes to heaven there is no
| ground swell or sharks in the two or three
| inches of water running through her pink toes
| and then she wadeS out like Aphrodite and
| locks up for sympathy.-[ Atlantic ReUjeU.
