DEER CAPTURED BY \ STEAMER
a Seattle paper Of Tuesday gives the
following: yesterday, while on her
down trip, some of the passengers Of
the Messenger saw large, fine look
ing deer swimming a short distance
in advance Of the boat. Capt. Par
ker thought fat venison steak would
be pretty nice for supper, so he
Stacked the speed Of the boat and
commenced shooting at the animal.
Not hitting him the first two or three
shots, he concluded TO have a small
boat lowered and capture the animal
alive. Before the skiff could be
manned the deer swan close enough
to the steamer to have a rope thrown
over his horns, and was soon drawn
on board. He seemed to enjoy the
ride hugely, and was the centre of
attraction for some time. Just be-
fore rounding Ak Point, Capt. Par
ker had him killed, and the passengers
of the Messenger will smack their
chops over nice, fat, juicy venison
steak for some days to come"

TAME FISH. Every day brings to
our consideration possibilities of the
power of man over the development
of animals, and perception and control
of the lower orders of being, harmon
iouslv bringing them into subiuga-
ton and use. The place of the genus
homo was beautifully illustrated re-
Gently, in our visit to Lake Indepen-
dence, where our old friend and fell
low townsman, Mr.. Rhodes has con-
structed fish pond adjacent to the
outlet of the lake, for the cultivation
of fish. In this pond he has a hun
dred or more tour-year old trout,
which are regularly fed by him with
small fish called minnows. At the
approach of Mr.. Rhodes this fnny
tribe will quickly flock to him: but
disappear at the approach of a stran-
ger. These fish will feed from his
hand with the utmost Indifference and
come at his call, following him around
near the shore like lot of lambs
their shepherd. On his throwing a
peck of minnows on the water lively
scene ensues as they rush for them
making the water boil with their
grand and lofty Hopping, some jump
ing three or four feet from the water.
He says they are great gluttons, and
will devour an enormous amount fill
ing themselves until the fish protrude
from their mouths. Under the do
mesticated process they will soon
grow very large and fat, and by this
means he is able to furnish all who
may give him a call meal of good
fattrout on sight.-DoIcarjHe NoaHtain

A Two-FACED BABY.-The Cincin-
natl Go>ete prints a letter from
Glynnwood, Ohio, dated May 2jth,
which says: Our usual quiet village
and surrounding community were all
excited to-day over one of the great
est curiosities-a double baby. We
called at the office of DR.. Noble to
find out the truth Of it, and he told
the following: Last night he was
called to see the wife of Mr.. Green
Bailey farmer living near here, who
gave birth to one of the greatest curl
osities | have heard of. The child is
a common-sized one, well-formed in
its lower limbs and body up to its
shoulders. 1t had two sets Of arms,
and well-formed, except that one
pair was back ofthe other, and worked
backward, 1t had but one head and
two faces on it, one on each side;
both faces were well-formed in all
the organs. 1t breathes from both
sides, which the doctor SAYS indicates
the existence Of two pairs Of lungs.
Mr.. Bailey IS quite jubilant over it,
and says 1t will be a fortune to him.

1t is 4 curious fact that if you were
TO determine to be perfectly honest
in your speech. and tocall everything
by its right name. you would 90
through life as uneas.ly as spring
less wagon over 2 corduroy road.
Suppose some one should say to YOU,
Don't YOU think my sister very beauti-
full this evening"" and in reply you
were to say exactly what YOU think.
she is perfect fright, who has been
trying for an hour to get some eli-;-
BILE young man to dance with her, and
in vain, do YOU think YOU would sleep
in peace at the consciousness that YOU
had told the truth: Or suppose some
lady gives YOU an opportunity to ex-
press an opinion to her. and You tell
her, plainly that you think her a Cos
sip and busybody, who is hungry
to 60 to housekeeping with a hus-
band who has plenty Of money, all of
which things youhonestly think, would
your social path lie across beds Of
roses? 1t seems to be absolutely
necessary to cover the pine wood of
facts with a thick cover of varnish.
and if you are unwilling to say what
you do not think You must be equally
unwilling to say what you do think.
If every man should express his opin-
ions this little world Of ours would
resemble a dynamite explosion in
twenty-four hours. Talleyrand was
right when he said that languages is
intended to conceal your thoughts

PERHAPS the most eloquent man in
America is a writer on the Halifax Chronicle.
He is regular sky-scraper, and in welcom-
ing the new Governor-General and his wife,
frescoes the heavens in this fashion: con a
far-off isle, on mighty nation, Mother OF
Nations, shine the rays of the rising sun.
On the mighty billows of ocean, vexed by
fretful November winds, a speeding ship with
fair and manly burthen freighted, strike the
rays of the noon-day orb. Out into the At
lantic Canada has gazed through the deep
gloom of night and the vapors of early dawn.
watching for the first faint glimpse of the
golden crimson banner. From the distant
isle to the near continent comes floating o'er
the waters the whispered prayer of God
speed 10 the daughter of the Queen and the
heir of Argyll. From the valleys and dales,
from the forests and streams, from the lakes
and seas of the great Dominion there breathes
forth the passionate call, %, bring them safe,'
%, bring them quickly And it rolls on
away, away through fog, through storm, and
meets the brave ship as she dashes on west
ward with the, star of empire. odd Oceans
waste is grave and melancholy no more, but
gay and glad echoes the wish OF the millions
in England and the millions in Canada.
Who is it that comes from across the sea
Lorne,' shout the waves of the deep;
Louise cry the winds of heaven. Lorne,
chosen by his Queen to rule this fair land of
ours; Lorne, of a ducal race, the heir;
Louise, beloved daughter of beloved Queen
Louise, the royal bride of the Chief of the
Gaels. Lorne and Louise, our gracious rul.
ers now." That man has got 'em bad.

DIPHTHERIA is raging in New England now
and the doctors are gathering data to enable
them TO form opinions as to the origin of the
disease. DIR. G. M. Snow of Providence
thinks that the cause of its outbreak is near
ly always to be found on or near the premi-
ses where it appears. Further than this, he
believes that the "cause Of nearly all the
cases that occur in the city is breathing ina
pure air from privy vaults or sink drains Oh
cess pools, or drinking impure water"

The English sparrow.

Mr.. j. j. HI. Gregory, the Marblehead
scotsman, writes to the Massachusetts
PlOughman as follows: ''In answer to
your inquiries relative to the sentiment
in England concerning the English
sparrows, l would say that while there
a few years since l was asked by an in
telligent lady if it was true that the
Americans had introduced them into
their country; and on my replying in
the affirmative, she expressed great sur
prise, saying that they were the great
est nuisance they had in their grain
fields that her husband estimated that
his annual loss would average hun
dred pounds sterling yearly, and that
unless with change of climate they ut
terly change their habits, we Americans
would bitterly repent our experiment.
From what [ have gathered from con-
versatiOn and observation should class
them a robber bird, pest and annoy
ance to several of our native species,
and probably a future source of vast
injury to the grain fields of the west.
Unless some prompt means is taken to
check their increase, am prepared to
hear before many years that they rank
with the army worm and weavil, caus-
ing loss of millions yearly in the grain
crops of the country"
Prof. Goessmann writes us: "In re-
Spouse to your inquiry l will say that
the sparrow you refer to is universally
regarded as pest and nuisance in Eu-
rope. Its depredations on the grain
crops are very extensive and vexatious,
so much so indeed that for years, in
many parts of Germany, bounty has
been offered for its destruction"
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1878-08-30
The Line Sharply Drawn.

Look sharp now. Whenever you find
Il man zealously opposing a prohibitory
liquor law-that is, Il law which saws
no man shall sell liquor of any kind to
be used as beverage-you will find a
man who uses liquor himself, who likes
to be Created" and who wants for
himself and his friends the right to step
up to a public bar and call for the de
canter. Such man does not oppose
prohibition because it increases rum
selling or rum-drinking. The man who
is in earnest against intemperance,
wants prohibition. The man who be-
lieves the use of liquors is great moral,
social and physical evil, wants prohi-
bition-that is, he wants rum-selling
stopped, not simply "regulated.n The
man who believes rum drinking and
rum-selling to be curses to the com
munity, wants prohibitiOn-thati is, he
wants to shut up the rum shops and re-
move the temptation. There can be
no mistake about this. The ear-marks
of license advocates are as plainly to
be seen, as the ear-marks of rum
drinkers. 1t is too late in the day to
deceive anybody in this matter
