Catching Fish with q Rake.

For about two weeks the shores of
the pond at New Fairfield have been
lined with men and boys. both night
and day, armed with fishpails and
spears, the occasion being the open
ing Of the bullhead seaaon, in num-
hers ouch as were never seen before.
On some of the recent ra,py days
the banks Of the pond were lined
with teams and single rigs, boys on
foot and boys on horseback, all ready
for piscatorial action. The number
of ish seemed to DO incredible-one
man waded into the water and with a
take hauled them ashore by the
score. Others being unprovided
With tackle have killed them with

tsnds. A party Of three persons in

HUMAN NATURE.
Editors Opportunities for Study.
ing Its Worst Phases.

We sometimes think that an editor
has, above all other professional men,
the best opportunities for studying
the worst phases of human pstura.
There is so much sham and 9hoddy
in the world that come to him to be
Endorsed; 80 much vanity that de-
sires to be further inflated; so much
rascality that seeks TO be shielded, or
shifted upon some other mans shout
der; so much petty meanness that
tries to pass current for generosity ;
and 30 much wickedness and ma
lightly that simulate virtue and true
nobility at character, continually
passing in review before him, that it
were scarcely . wonder if he should
in time grow cynical and missn-
thropic. As an antidote to this
tendency he should be a person Of
great good nature, sound discretion
and practical common sense. He
should possess something Of the ju-
dicial quality, being able to weigh
testimony carefully. sifiing tho false
and trivial from the true and perth
nent, giving each their just value,
and finally rendering judgment with
fairness and impartiality. He should
be able at a glance to distinguish be.
tween the petty apite and malignity
which seeks to employ the editorial
lash to scourge the innocent, and that
solicitude for the public welfare
which prompts a man to expose
crime, and not from sinister or selfish
motives. To be and do all this he
must have some nerve, for he will
win enemies. The vicious will hate
and annoy him, the shoddy aristo-
Gratis will snub him, the dead-beats
and EN- prizes will curse him continu
ally. But these classes are in the
minority in almost every community.
They represent but little of the
wealth, or intelligence, or manhood
Of a neighborhood. Gaining their
displeasure, he is morally certain to
preserve his self-respect, and to Sc
cure the respect and esteem of all
whose friendship and approval are
worth having. 1t may be argued
that there are but few editors who
have attained this ideal, but it is,
nevertheless, true that the nearer
they approximate to it the more indie
pendent, dignified and honorable the
profession of journalism will be-
come, and the more potent will be
its influence for good in the world

-ONE Of the latest Western
ideas that will be hailed with general
satisfaction is the substitution of bats
for pigeons in shooting matches. To
ttoot bat upon the wing is quite as
sharp a test Of marksman's skill as
shooting q pigeon, and a wuOh better
test than shooting an inanimate glass
ball, aud thu innovation has the
further advantage Of putting the bats
to some use, It has always been
supposed that they must have some
place in the economy Of nature. other
than in a woman's back hair, but it
has remained for Nevada people to
discover it. There need be no fears
Of the extermiuation of the race,
for it is a matter Of common obser-
walton that hats thrive the most under
the most vigorous persecution.

expiration of the Senator's term OF
Office in 1875, and has been adver-
tised tor rent at the modest sum OF
at first $4,000 per annum, and later
at SIS, 900 and $4,000. But no one
has had the money to pay such a
rental and keep up the house be-

A TRIPLE ELOPEMENT,
An Old Man and His Two Sons
Elope with NeighbOring Females.

In the wilds of Crittenden county,
Arkansas, there lived an old man
named Rosebury. His sons, Robert
and John, are of the same age, 81
years, being twins. Mrs. Rosebury,
the mother, died long years ago. The
nearest human habitation was house
occupied by Mrs. Glenn and two
daughters, though, pity to say, the
daughters were not twins at the time
of their birth, and have not yet sue
decided in attaining that point. Mr..
Rosebury fell deeply in love with
Mrs. Glenn and the two sons, Robert
and John, fell equally as much so
with the two daughters, Mary and
Rachel. The most imaginable whole
sale love- making ensued. The old
man and widow seemed devoted to
each other, and the younger people
were sufficiently so to marry, which
they all did on the same day. After
the ceremony the six happy souls
and the six happy bodies repaired to
the residence of the husbands.
Everything worked smoothly. The
old man was very kind to his newly
made daughters, particularly so to
Rachel, the wife of his son John.
The kindness increased and other
matrimonialists marveled, one to an
other. The old man even disregarded
the wishes of his wife, and Rachel
snuffed her Grecinn nose at her
Roman. nosed husband. One morn
ing, about two weeks after the mar
rage and one week ago, the family
discovered that the old man and
Rachel had gone. Searching and
not being able to and them, but
learning from ferryman that they
had crossed the river into Tennessee,
the family returned. Pretty soon
an intimacy sprang up between
Robert, Mary's husband, and the old
lady, The old lady was so wise and
had had such broad experience that
Robert never grew tired of proftihg
by her counsel. Another disaster.
Robert aud the old lady ran away,
leaving John and Mary, who seeing.
as they we're not blind, that they
were lett alone, clasped themselves
in loving embrace, for it seems that
they had loved each other from the
first. Did they stay on the farm .
No, sir. There is mortgage on it.
They packed up and, according to
the ferrymap, went over in.o Ten

The First Week Of the Maine Cam
paipn.

paign.
The deep and general interest and hearty
enthusiasm attending the first days of the Re-
publican campaign in Maine is more than re-
markable, it is surprising and wonderful Ey
erywhere that public meeting is held, speak,
ers catch inspiration from large and eager au-
diences. Take for instance the meeting held
at Waterville Saturday on the college grounds
1t was not widely advertised, and was held in
the daytime and in a busy season, yet such
was the interest that special trains were run
from places forty miles distant, and thousands
gathered. Such demonstrations are the result
of deep interest. An impromptu procession
with seven bands of music is something un-
heard of heretofore in Maine campaign, even
on Presidential year, the week before an cleo
ton. Again in the town of Bridgton, away
from any railroad, in the county of Cumber-
land, where unusual apathy ON the part of the
Republicans was reported few days ago, in a
locality where the Greenback mania struck
quite hard last year, there was o meeting Fri
day evening, addressed by Mr.. Davis, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, and Repre-
sentative Reed. Dele egations were present from
fifteen towns in Cumberland and Oxford coun-
ties. Bridgton Is the manufacturing village Of
u ldTlllLR tOWIl VI ltSS tIllu OUUU lnndDlIa0IS,
but the Republicans threw out seven campaign
flags. There was procession under the escort
of the Davis Guards.
"Since 1860 there has been nothing in this
section to equal the enthusiasm of the demon
stration." The open attempt to make the
Greenback movement o tail to the Democratic
kite, has disgusted many Republican Green
hackers, and in all the towns which were
swept by the craze last Fall lists of voters who
have had enough OF the new party, or rather
snff fhn M, .afrn
have been begun and are being rapidly ex-
tended There are, moreover, indications that
even the uncouth speech and homely illustra-
tions of Solon Chase have lost their novelty,
and that them steers, the price of hogs, cow
hide boots. uncouthness generally have ceased
to be attractive in Maine politics.
Such are the indications of the first week of
the campaign in Maine. These omens could
scarcely be more encouraging The campaign
appears to have begun at the right end of the
line-among the people.
