Fishing with Dynamite.

In several of the counties in northern
Georgia there is much excitement over
a new and terrible method of killing
fish, which is being practiced with great
efficacy. When the Government sur
veyOrs were improving the beds of the
Etowah and COOsa Rivers they used
dynamite in blasting rock. 1t was dis
covered that the explosions were very
fatal to the fish all around them. The
shock was so terrible that hundreds of
dead or stunned fish would rise to the
surface and be easily taken. The peo-
pie around the country heard of this
destruction of fish, and resolved to put
it to practical use. They produced
number of dynamite cartridges and be-
gan such killing of fish as WIS never
heard before. The practice rapidly
spread until now it is common in several
counties in north Georgia. A place in
the stream is baited well for several DAYS
until fish congregate thieklv there.
Then the managers of the destructive
plan 90 to work. The dynamite car
fridge is placed deep under the water
1t is exploded by means of small gal
vanic battery or by some cheaper method.
A terrific stir is made in the water, and
for yards around fish are killed by the
hundreds. We learn that not far from
Gainesville, the other day, 200 pounds
of fish were thus killed in one stream
The news of this practice is rapidly
spreading, and wherever it is heard of
there is desire to try it. The destruc-
ton of fish il the streams and ponds is
consequently terrible. Much INDICATION
is felt by those who deem this an extrav-
agant waste of fish, but there seems to.
be no way to prevent it.-AtlantG Con-

A GENTLEMAN describing the different
styles of gesticulation habitual with Mr..
Webster, Mr.. Choate and Charles Sum-
ner, says that the latter was always
dignified and self-possessed, and in his
movements as well as words conveyed
the idea of deliberation and scholarly
culture rather than of that spontaneous
warmth and impulsive feeling which
stir emotion in the nearer. But he had
one gesture, which he used not often,
but always once or twice in his great
speeches, which never failed to send the
blood thrilling to my temples, and l no.
ticed that it had similar effect on
many others. He raised his hand high
er and higher, with appropriate gestic-
ulations, while building climax, and
when he came to cap it, he rose on tip
toe and thrust his hand up into the air
with great force and with look of ex-
ultant triumph. 1t was magnificent.
1t fitted the subject and the man."
