FIsHY. The Memphis appeal tells the fol-
lowing catfish story:
A gentleman who resides on Adams street,
and has fountain in his front yard stocked
with small fish, mad been puzzled for some
time over the disappearance of the fish from
the fountain. One night last week he and
several friends sat up and watched, About
ten o'clock they saw the house Cat stealthiy
approach the rim of the fountain and scratch
in the ground. The cat caught worm,
which she moved around in the water for
few minutes, then, when the little FISH would
rise and bite at the bait, the cat, with the
other paw, grabbed and ate them. ''Puss
was the clone fisherman of the place. The
above story is authentic, yet it reads as if it
was apocryphsl. Here is an important fact
for scientists who draw distinction between
instinct and reason

In the South, the New Orleans Mission also
belongs to France and in the extreme West
the California Mission is under the jurisdic-
tion of the Provincial of Italy. The Eastern
Province was formerly an English Mission, but
was made independent in the earler years of
the present century, and the Western Pro-
vince, which was one of the Belgian Missions,
was elevated to it's present dignity in 1862.
Ihe missions named will also become inde-
support the hemselves, and even, as it is. although
they are main ly supplied with priests from the
provinces to which they respectively belong,
novitistes have already been established in
some places, and it will not take very long
for them to shake off the supervision Of the
mother colleges. There are at present about
600 Jesuits 10 the United States and Canada.
Of which, ss has been stated above, Father
Higgins has jurisdiction and direction of $50.
If anything is meant in the present change,
either to strengthen the columns of the Order
in the West or to push q more vigorous policy
in this direction. Father Higgins neither inti-
mated 1T nor suggested any reason for the re-
motest surmise.

Tho two (Realf and Lytle) lay together in the
geueraPs tent. They were both given to writ
ing poetry at such times, and each had an un
finished poem in bis hand, aud they read and
criticised each others efforts humorouely for
some time, when Lytle said:
"Realf, l shall never live to finish that

the conviction flashed through me like the

I rallied him for his superstition, bat the

4 FLORIDA IRLSRMAN.
Forney's Sunday Chronicle.


The Senate presents a study of never ending
interest, especially when pureued from the
height of the press gallery, where we realize
the iDhlienab!e right of the "Third Estste"- to
praise or critcse as the potion serves us.
Every servant on that floor has his history,
each equal to good sized encyclopedia. The
Roman senate in it's grandest days never pre-
septed to the world suoh master minds as to-
day convene in the upper house of q repubic
which is still in it's infancy. Yet those ucient
worthless of the Eternal City received $50 900
per annum for their eervices, land no questions
asked" IS to salary grabs, mileage, or per-
quisites.
Look at that tall, Celtic faced, brigbt-eyed
man on the left That reader mine, Ssna-
tor Charles w. jones of Florida. Swaddie his
splendid physique in the t1Ea of Roman Sen
tor, and then listen t" his discourse on law,
history, and the politics of the world, and you
will be willing to admit that Brutus, though
ian honorable man." was pigmy in com pari
son. Had this Senator lived two thousand
years ago, the historian of that period would
have called him by a more high-sounding cog
nomen than that Of Jones, and have olassed
him as "the noblest Roman of them all"
He is truly the fdber 8uB fortune having
fought his way, step by step, along the rugged
road of poverty, and is one OF the few self ade
men who do not appear to worship their
maker, self-oonceit being no part of his com
position. He came over from Ireland at the
age of ten, and while a boy learned and work
ed at his trade studying meanwhile in every
spare moment, as many great men have dope
before him. At the ege of twenty-three he was
admitted to the bar, end it is now conceded by |
the leading jursts of the country that he is !
the peer of any man in his profession.
The speech that be recently delivered on Sen |
ator Edmunds' electoral bill is said by those |
who ought to know to be one of The most brill !
liant efforts of the present Senate He has |
reached the highest pinnacle of political pre- |
ferment possible in this country, as our Con |

,onversa ationlist-a hearty, whole souled Irish

there can be no finer combination.

with such Illustrations. Bat there are other

Courage and patience. Truthfulness and
