Stay-at-HOme Fishing.

Johnny writes to say that he wants to
go trout-fishing very much, but can
not get away from the store, and wants
to know what to do to recreate. I"
Johnny, we know how to pity you.
Before we became bloated bondholder
and an advocate of the money power,
as itwere, we often longed to go fishing,
but couldn't "get away" Since we
became wealthy we have been fishing
many times, and assure you it is i'm.
mense. But you can enjoy all the ex-
element and have just as much re-
creation and not leave town, if you like.
Just follow these directions Put on
an old pair of pantaloons and the same
of boots. Fill the boots with water.
Don an old felt hat. Take your fishing
rod and stand in the back yard, where
the sun pours in and marks los de-
grees. A tub full of water should be
provided, and every little while you
should fall into the tub broadside. If
you could manage to bruise your shins,
break the tip of your pole and lose half
dozen hooks, the imitation fishing
trip would seem more real. In order to
enjoy the recreation to its fullest ex-
tent the experiment should be tried in
the afternoon, and you should eat a
light breakfast and go without your
dinner. To make the thing perfect
success, you should engage a man to
bring around about five pounds of
trout, for which pay him IS. But this
experiment cannot be made a truly
gratifying success unless you dress the
fish yourself. After dressing, the trout
should not weigh over nine ounces. To
more thoroughly enjoy the exhilarating
effect OF the trip you must walk about
ten miles before you commence fishing,
as that will put you in capital shape to
cast the fly, and you will feel so much
more as though you had tramped
through the woods to the brook. In
order to give truthful coloring to the
big fish stories which you may tell your
friends the next day. you should stain
your face with something to give you a
tanned appearance, and rub your neck
with red pepper, so that the mosquito
bites and sunburn will seem real. Now,
Johnny, we have given you the best adj
vice to be had on the subject, and can
assure you the foregoing is counter
felt and well calculated to deceive. We
don't charge q cent for this prescrip
ton, and if, after you get through, you
are not satisfied, the money will be re-
funded at the door.
P.S.-It is no patent-medicine dodge,
and does not have to be we'll shaken be-
fore taken.-ROme Sentinel.

A Terrible tragedy Under the Influ.
ence OF the Eclipse.

In the dark path of the late eclipse
across Texas, 116 miles in width, there
were thousands of ignorant people, both
white and black, who had not heard that
anything peculiar was about to happen.
Many of these people the eclipse sur
prised at work in their fields. Many
on the plantation of United States Sen
ator Coke. near Waco, was it that the
negroes went to praying, believing verify
that the day of judgment had come. A
terrible tragedy in Johnson county may
be set down to the eclipse. Ephraim
Miller, colored, with bis family of wife
and four children, lived near Buchanan,
in that county, whittier he had removed
from Tennessee six months ago. On the
morning Of the eclipse he said he had
heard the world was coming to an end
that evening, and, if SO, he intended to
be so sound asleep the trumpet of the
Angel Gabriel could not awaken him.
When the eclipse commenced and
darkness of totality came on, he ran
from the field to his house with Ratchet
in his hand. He was followed by negro
woman, named Nancy Ellison, who also
thought the world was coming to an end.
AS she got to the house Miller's
wife rushed out under the same
delusion, and, looking up at the
beautiful corona of hight around the
black moon, screamed, "Come, sweet
chariot !" at the same time rush.
ing across cotton field wringing her
hands. In the mean time, Miller, wish
ing to take his 10-yearsold boy with him
to the other side of Jordan, raised his
Ratchet and split his sons head open.
Leaving the latter weltering in his blood
and struggling in the last throes of
death, the father. on ladder, assembled
to the top of the house. Here, with a
new razor, he cut his throat from ear to
ear, and fell to the ground corpse.
His two little daughters escaped by hid
ing under a bed. st. Louis Globe

Three children OF Michael Rath were

John Fl. Raymond, President of Vas

At Cape May, last week, Prof. Baxter,
Professor of Elocution at Harvard College, was
drowned while swimming out beyond his depth.
Ten thousand people were present at
Cherry Valley, N. Y, Aug. Is, to witness the I'M
yelling Of monument to the patriots who fell in
the Indian massacre of Nov. IL, 1878. Ex-
Gov. Seymour made the address,
John E. Leete, the New Orleans re-
porter who recently testified before the Potter
investigating committee, was attacked with a
crazy fit in New York, and became 80 unruly
that he had to be locked up in prison. He dis
tinguished himself by discharging three pistol
shots through the door of room on the second
floor Of the Aston House. One bullet narrowly
missed the night-clerk of the hotel. Another
grazed the side of policeman who had been
called to assist in arresting him. Leete is af-
ficted with the hallucination that he is fol-
lowed by persons who desire to murder him to
prevent him from making further revelations
to the Potter committee.
