No sooner had we struck the bay than
the trouble commenced. / hauled in
three bass in about the time it would
take to tell it. From this on we
pulled in bass every few minutes,
and in a short time the bottom of the
boat was covered with bass-dead,
because we killed them as fast as we
took them, by running kife into the
spine just back Of the head.
About 4 o'clock, the sky looking
threatening, we pulled in, thinking
that we had enough fish for ourselves
and all our dear five hundred friends.
Landing, we strung our fish, twenty
at time and carrying them up a
little hill, loaded them in the buggy.
Each string made good load for
both of us. We found that we had
seventy bass.
Now, you will be inclined to remark
that we bad enough fish for any two
creatures who didn't have bristles
between their shoulders; but, you see,
tradition had it that party of four or
five, few years ago, had brought in
eighty.odd bass as the result Of one
afternoons fishing. The same thought
occupied both our breasts: Lets beat
the biggest catch on record I" Now
nothing but the excitement of beating
the best would have tempted us back,
as it was sprinkling slightly by this
time, aud promised good rain. But
our blood was up and back we went.
Now Gregg is not very heavy built
man, and fearful that the strain of
pulling in the fish would be too much
for him, let him row, while 1 did the
fishing.
The fish were evidently glad to see
US back again, and more hungry for
spoon viotuals. Hardly would the
spoon begin to revolve until "ierk"
she went, the line Strengthened out,
and in four seconds that fish was
corpse with an orifce in the back of
his neck, where his life went out.
Several times the spoon was actually
taken before it commenced to revolye
But why dwell? Suffice to say it
was altogether the most exciting, and
the most prolific sport 1 ever tumbled
to.
We rowed back to the landing,
reaching there a little before seven
o'clock, and counted and slowed our
fish. We had caught one hundred and
tave1ty three bass, four of which we
threw back because they didn't weigh
quite pound apiece. We must have
had three hundred pounds of fish.
Arrived at home, wet and tired, we
had quite time peddling out our
fish, without money and without
price" Nearly everybody had fish
for breakfast on Saturday morning.
took revenge on a couple of small
ones, and must say that they were by
all odds the finest bass 1 ever tasted.
With the Hulings spoon and the
Robinson line we landed 67 Of these
fish. l remark this so that these
friends will know that their presents
were well bestowed.
Game of all kinds is plentiful here.
[ sigh, however for my dear little

reflect how she was one of the salt of
the earth-a treasure-a beauty-a
staunch friend and a deadly weapon.

Companion of Crime.

We have for some time ceased to
call attention to the compromise, and
character of crimes North and South.
We have often analysed this subject,
.and in every year, and every season
of the year, both in the number of
crimes, their character and the char
acter of criminal and victim, and the
South come out unhurt by the com
parison. We find a correspondent in
Boston paper using language nearly
identical with that we have frequently
editorially used. He says:
"Nor can The North afford to taunt
! the South with the mote that is in her
eye till the dominant section first ex-
tracts the beam from her own eye.
In the North, women and children
are daily murdered by brutes. Public
sentiment is often low toned in its
! judgment of bad men, the destroyers
of children and helpless wemen. In
the South. man murders man in the
street affray or the bar room duel.
For my part, think the man who
stands in the deadly encounter with
his fellow man, willing to take his
chances in the deadly interchange OF
shots, is manller fellow than the IA
natic who Stays his child, the seducel
who packs his victim in a trunk, tho
husband who brains the woman he
has sworn to cherish. and thus or
through the ghastly catalogue o.
Northern crimes. Christian charity
in our judgment of the South. and {
lively remembrance of our socia
. sins, will do much to add attachment
} to fair views"
swell, madame" said John New
ton, to one who was complaining o
the imperfections of others, sif ther,
: were a perfect Church on earth, i
: would cease being so the moment yor
! and | entered it, And that remarl
still has a pertinent application fo
those who, we fear, won't apply it.

Caring for her Mistr esS.

We were told of a noble instance
Of devotion of q colored woman for
her former mistress. Mrs. Eliza
beth Rogers, aged 73 years, died
yesterday. In ante bellum days
she was well-to-do, and owned o
number Of slaves ; but, as thou
sands of others, lost her all by the
war. Among the slaves were a
family of negroes whom Mrs. Ro-
gers raised as she would her own
children, and they were very much
attached to her. The case of de-
votlon which was told US was OF
one of this family, Laura Mitchell,
who is we'll known in our city as a
nurse. AT present she is in the
employ OF Mr.. g. e. Hochstrasser,
and is a faithful servant. For II
long years Laura has supported
her old mistress. Her wages rare
ly amounted to more than $40 per
month, and she has always given
the whole to Mrs. Rogers. " her
IN need of money herself, she
would go to the old mistress and
see if she could spare it. The dy-
lug charge of Laura's mother was
''care for old missus," and faith
fully she has done her duty. Laura
employed girl to walt upon Mis-
Rogers, as she could not do tha
duty herself, which there's not 8

The MurderOUS Spirit in the
Country.

The cause oe such frequent and
horrible murders must be sought in
the diseased state of public opinion.
Juries who acquit murderers in the
face OF law and fact, only obey the
public opinion prevalent in the COM
munity around them, and never can
be brought to enforce the law until
this diseased public opinion slall be
corrected. Juries never fail in en-
forcing the law against theft, &C..
simply for the reason that public
opinion backs them up to this case,
and like result would in case public
opinion rebuked and condemned mur-
der as sternly as it does theft. We
suggest that every preacher of every
denomination in the country shall set
apart two Sundays In the year for
sermons on the text, "Thou shalt do
no murder" and that they display it
plainly and forcibly. We suggest
that Churches try and expel all who
take human life except in actual self
defense. Society should also set the
seal of reprobation and outlawry upon
ruffianism and barbarism by Slam
ming its doors IN the faces of muir
derers and ruffians. Stamp murder
as ungentlemanly and ruffianly, and
it will be properly punished by the
courts but, to attain this point, the
people must be educated to regard
murder with horror.
