Millions of Dead Fish.

The Key West, Fla, "key" of recent
date says: Our smack fisherman are near
ly discouraged with their i'll luck. For
over two months they have been unable to
get live fish to Havana they all die on
reaching the putrid waters of the bay,
which has now extended over one hundred
and fifty miles into the Gulf of Mexico.
The smack George Storrs, Captain Zeb
Allen, attempted to run to the westward
in hopes of escaping the deadly waters, and
when fifty miles west of Tortugas, in twen-
ty-fve fathoms water, lost his whole fare
of fish in very short time.
He describes the poisoned water to the
south and west of him as far as he could
see. The largest fish, such as shark, jew
fish and turtle were floating around his
vessel. He pointed his vessel eastward
and entered our port on Tuesday last, al
most disgusted On Saturday last the
water had appeared near the northwest
lighthouse, with its thousands of dead fish
floating like tufts of cotton over tho sea.
On Monday and Tuesday the water was

but not until Wednesday did the dead fish
appear in sight. The stratum of dark red

description-.many of them of the largest
specimens of sharks, jew-fsh barracuda,
grouper, grunts, interspersed with a few
kinds Of the fresh water varieties, such as
the mud eels, bul-head, catfish, Dream,
perch, ETC.
The fresh-water fish, eels., are found in
great abundance in Lake Okeechobee,
Kissimmee river, and Fish Eating creek.
AS these dead fish approached our wharves
the stencil became almost intolerable, and
many plans were attempted and suggested
to keep them in tide water Had this oc-

prived of this cheap class of food, there
must necessarily be much suffering"

AFTER months of delay and detective
work, the secret police of Russia have
discovered the horse that drew the
droschky that bore the man that fired
the shot that killed Gen. Mezentsoff.
Although the assassins are at large, a
bloody example might be made of the
offending nihilist horse. He can be
tried by court martial, that is, If the
offense be political rather than crimi-
nal, be found guilty, and then have his
head chropped off in the public square.
This would serve as a warning to the
nihilists-a warning that they should
hereafter go IN foot to commit their
murders. However, 1t would seem
that the Russian police are no more
shrewd than their New York brethren
of the mace.

greatly disappointed because In the set

1T Is proved by a professor that the
phrase ''take that" had its origin in
antiquity. 1t is but the translation of
an inscription on leaden balls which
were thrown from sings by the Egyp-
tians. Sometimes the name of the sling
er was put on the ball, SO the wounded
individual would know who hit him.
The modern Egyptian has an almost
similar way about him. He says to the
man whom he wants to STAY: "Take
something's" and the victim takes the
