A Maine Fish Story.

Col. Winer describes, with the relish
of true sportsman, one of the most re-
markable occurrences IN the matter of
trout-fishing which had yet been record
ed. 1t came under his own observation,
and is in no respect fancy sketch. Mr..
Marshall, of Boston, was fishing alone
in his boat, in Rangely lake, Maine, with
a light trout rod which would not sus-
tain pound in dead weight at its tip,
and very slight line. His leader was
of the finest gut, and the hook upon it was
baited with live minnow. Adult ten
feet from the end of the line was a
second hook, baited with an earth-worm.
Mr.. Marshall bad just thrown his line
when he was startled by q sharp bite
and almost Immediately after by a
second. Two big fish were hooked, and
then began battle of most peculiar
kind, in which it required all the address
Mr.. Marshall could command to prevent
the struggling trout from swapping the
frail line and freeing themselves. For
one hour and eighteen minutes the com.
bat lasted. when at last the innermost of
the two fish was played to the side of the
boat and meshed in the landing net and
unlocked, while his fellow, well nigh
exhausted, was working beneath the
boat. In two minutes more the
second fish was safely trapped, and
il was found that one OF them weighed
FIVE and half pounds and the other
four and half pounds, making total
OF ten pounds at one haul. Bos,o,

THE National Eclectic Medical Asso-
citation, which has been in session at De-
troit, discussed the question of body
stealing little, and finally adopted res
olutions condemning the practice of des-
ecrating cemeteries, protesting against
any medical college receiving body
without being satisfied that it was not
obtained in this way, promising to help
bring to punishment any offender, and
recommending to the law-making bodies
of the various States enactments by which
colleges may legally obtain the necessa-
nv Z" cadavers."

Chinese BARRIERS.

The Chinese mode of wearing the
hair makes the Flowery Land the paradise
of BARRIERS, and the Chinese barber has
not his counterpart the world over.
From dawn he is in the streets, carrying
upon his shoulder, at either end of a
long bamboo, adorned with an effigy Of
chimerical nature, the paraphernalia OF
his craft. Eagerly on the lookout for
any one whose head is not perfectly
shaver, as soon as he detects such an one
he has him in trice installed on a stool
beneath large parasol, fixed in the
ground. In the twinkling of an eye All
is ready, and the skull, under his manip-
ulations, soon becomes rs smooth as
ivory. That done, he passes on to the
pigtail, which he brushes, perfumes,
and dresses with the greatest care. Use
less as IL seems to us, it really is by no
means so. The schoolmaster brings il

The San Francisco Chronicle sees
something alarming in the decrease of
the annual prodnct of gold. From its
returns from the principal metalliferous
countries for the first half of the cur
rent calendar year it estimates the total
gold supply from the mines for the year
at $85, 900, 900, or about $4,000, 900 less
than last years supply. In 1852 the
product was $193, 700, 900, since which
time that figure has never been reached
in any year, and the production from
year to year has, on the whole, fallen
of, until now it is less than half what it
was twenty six years ago. At the same
time the population of Europe and
North America-the countries where
gold is most used as medium of ex-
change-has increased from 266, 900, 900
to $40, 600, 900, or 40 per cent.

A CHARMING lady, in Burkeyille, W.
VA, was advised by her husband of
the trifling fact that fly WAS added to
the ec9aiments, Of the, sraYyY She1dis-
puted the allegation, theredpon the fly
was pointed out. Tbis was too much,
To doubt her word was bad enough, but
to prove that she was mistaken was an
pardonable, and as q measure Of right
eous retribution, she seized the ak and
severed the husbands head from his
body, suddenly and ensctually making a
widow of herself. % This should be a
warning to fault-fnding husbands. Let
them take their fly in their gravy and
forever hold their peace.

FARMERS in all parts of Ohio are re-
ceiving almost daily notices signed
+" Workingmen's Bread or Blood Com

ing labor-saving machinery, and espe-
cially self-binding reapers. Threats are
made that every such reaper will be de-
stroyed and stacks of grain burned If an
attempt is made to use them. No vio-
lence has, however, yet been reported.
In one or two cases township strikes for
higher wages have been organized among
field hands, but no difficulty is expe-
rienced in filling their places.

THE public clamor against the new ell
evated railway in New York city, which
has been increasing ever since the cars
began to run, will not be Quoted by a
statement just made to the Grand Jury
by 1873 physicians of the city to the effect
that the noise and smoke of the trains
will do great and permanent injury to
the health of all the unfortunate resi-
dents along the line. 1t is quite likely
that the disadvantages and dangers of
rapid transit in New York will be found
to outbalance its advantages.

THE report of the Canadian Minister
of Marine shows that Canada stands fifth
in the marine order of the world. The

second in order is the United States,
which possesses tonnage of 1854, $50

The dog story which has been re-
ceived by cable from Berlin brings to
mind one of Bismarck's college pranks.
He has always been fond of dogs. When
he was student and a country Squire
he never went out for walk without
having couple of hounds at his heels.
At Gottingen, where he led wild, reck-
less life, he was summoned before the
Dean for entertaining some boisterous
friends with whom he had travelled into
the Hartz. With Characteristic assur-
ance he put on dressing gown and rid
ing-boots and startled the venerable
official by rushing into the room with a
large bloodhound at his heels. The in
terview was a short one and Bismarck
and his dog went back to their quarters.
-Four young students of the corps OF
Hanover caught sight of man and dog
and began to laugh. Bismarck remon-
strated, high words followed, and each Of
the four challenged him to duel. The
Chancellor's favorite dog for many years
was Sultan, Danish mastiff, who in,
variably accompanied him when he
walked or rode at yarzin. ~

belief that the photograph will confer
great benefits upon physicians in en-

promises to make clear and direct many
obscure and difficult things.

Another Notable Invention by Edison.

Mr.. Bentley said yesterday that Prof.
Edison, after experimenting for two
years upon it, had just produced an
other notable invention. 1t is based
upon the principle of the monograph,
and called the embossing and translate
ing system of telegraphy. The instru-
ment consists of a revolving disk, upon
which is clamped down sheetof paper.
The surface Of the. disk is marked by a
spiral groove, beginning at the center
and gradually expanding, like screw
thread. The disk is made to revolve by
an electric motor. and while revolving
magnet moves over the surface, fol-
lowing the groove. A metallic arm
holding the disk in place is caused to
move so that the point works in
connection with the magnet directly
over the spiral, much the same as the
point in Edison's photograph moves
over the surface of tin-foil on the re-
volving cylinder The sheet of paper
thereby becomes a matrix, and is a
stereotype, as it were, of the characters
transmitted. This indented matrix may
become the medium of transmitting the
communication as many times and to as
many different PLACES as may be desired.
BY connecting the revolving disk with a
battery the disk will be made to revolve
and automatically transmit. The great
advantage of this instrument is that a
message may be sent at one time in the
ordinary telegraphing way to as many
places as may be desired. Mr.. Edison
is elated over his new invention, and ex-

Got His Children Mixed
The absent minded make laughter
enough by their blunders, but for the
extreme OF comical carelessness here is
the premium example:
A Massachusetts exchange is respon-
BILE for q story of father who, feeling
aggrieved that his son did not pass an
examination for promotion from a
primary to an intermediate school,
called upon the committee for explana-
ton, bringing the boy with him. The
father said he wanted to know how ii
happened that Charlie did not pass.
The committee informed him that there
was no such boy as Charlie G. examined.
"Of course he was, and here is the
boy to speak for himself. How is it,
Charlie?"
The boy meokly replied, "My name
is not Charlie"
at isn't Charlie? What is it, then?''
81 am Frank" said the boy.
$50 you are," apologized the father.
81 thought it was Charlie. I have so
many can hardly tell one boy from an
other"
The puzzled papa received the desired
information, and then took Frank u
home, probably to take account of stock.

sioneIS have returned the letter to the Fire

the change proposed. There are about 1875 OF
these plugs scattered all over the city. Many
of them are in the vicinity OF hotels and other

feared. and where the supply OF water should
be as ample as possible
