The Fishway.
The construction of a fishway through the
kennebec dam in this city is no new idea 1t
has been agtated more or less since the dam
was built in 1884; but nothing definite has
been done until the Association for the Fro
lection of Fish and Game, which takes
special interest in the repletiOn OF our waters
with fish, and the forests with game. took hold
OF the work. Before the river was obstruct
by the dam, the fish used to go up the stream
to spawn, so at the mouth of all the streams
that make into the Kennebec, multitudes OF
alewivcs, shad and salmon were taken ana
turned TO use in various ways by the people
IN the vicinity.
These fish were a source OF revenue, much
more so than people generally are led to sup
pose, as they furnished much Of the Injuries
Of the table, in those days. The erection OF
this dam across the kenncbec cut on tins sup.
ply of food as it prevents the above named
6sh from ascending the river to deposit their
spawns in suitable places for propagation.
When We learn that the catches amounted IN
round numbers to hundreds of thousands OF
dollars annually. it is not strange, that the
people should ask that the fish way be buiit'
andthat the investment is thought to De

When the Legislature Of Maine granted oy
charter to the Kennebec Dam Co. the right

poration to construct and maintain nsn-waS
up through or over the dam, in the most SUIT

Jim Bridger's Love for Shakespeare.

One of the most noted characters on the Dor
der twenty years ago was old jim Brldger of
Fort Bridger, in Utah On one occasion he
came to New York He did not like the mar
row downtown streets with high buildings on
each side, and complained that he had once
lost his way in "Dey Street Canon" and been
rescued with difficulty by the police. He liked
the theatres, and expressed the utmost delight
at performance of the Midsummer Nights
Dream" He had no clear idea who Shake
speare was, but conceived and developed the
most extravagant admiration for him.
Returning to the fort, he sold stock and sup
plies to emigrants and other travellers as IN
time past One day man wished TO buy
some oxen, and jim SAID he could have any
except one yoke, which he had made up his
mind to keep at all hazards. In the morning
messenger came to say that the man wanted
this yoke, and none other,
"He can't have 'em, SAID Jim. There's no
use takln'."
We'll, he wants them, and is just awaitn'
for them" said the messenger. He's a-settin'
there, readin' book called Shakespeare"
"Eh?" yelled Jim, jumping to his feet, Did
YOU ssy-Shakespeare Here, y you, give
me my boots"
He ran to the corral.
Stranger" said he, Jest give me that book,
and take them oxen"
"Oh, no, SAID the man. Il only brought the
book to read ON the way | will give it to you"
Stranger" SAID Jim, Icsolutely, lest you
take them oxen, and give me that book" And
so the man did.
Jim hired a reader at fifty dollars per month,
and listened to Shakespeare every evening All
went we'll, until one night, as the reader came
to the proposed murder Of the princes In the
Tower, Jim .prang from his seat, with blazing
eyes, and yelled, In thunder tones: Hold on
there! jest wait TILL | get my rife, and I'll
shoot the - scouDdrel."-Hdrpers Haga-
