A Big Trout.

A Fort Missouri correspondent furnishes an account of Colonel Gibson's fishing ex- ploit jn Bitter Root. The colonel, armed with light cane rod, to which was attached sn oiled silk line of less than twenty -four yards, a leader of single gut, and qnite 8 small hook, started out to the river, helting at point about two lines below the post. The water along the shore was comparatively shallow. Observing some small trout jump ing some distance below and near the waters edge, the colonel reeled ont nearly all of his line, 50 as to let his bait, a grasshopper, float down among them. In 8 moment something took the hook and sprily made of with it into deep water. Then followed most interest ing fight, lasting about half an hour, intensi-- fled as it progressed to an almost painful de- gree. Tackle aud skill the colonel is @ sci entiic angler-were put to the severest test. Finally the fnny opponent was worried out, and the colonel steered him to shore. Post Adjutant Williams and drummer boy who happened to be near, ''rallied on the center" :" and seized the catch by the gills and rushed him up steep bank, throwing him into 8 field, the colonel launching the rod after him. You can imagine the excitement at the post when the trout was found to weigh nine pounds and to measure thirty-one inches. Was rot that fish, sure enough Pa truly royal trout? Previous to this the largest known trout caught by any person in this sec tion was one taken by the commissary ser geant, which weighed seven pounds. Larger trout than these have been sent from the loco, taken, however, by the Indians in fsh baskets or traps, the largest of which weighed thirteen pounds and measured thirty six In ches.

 A young lady has been visiting friends here for few days, and she attended party at g neighbours with them few nights since and enjoyed herself very much. A certain young man happened to go past her in one of the rooms in which they were dancing, and it is thought she imagined herself g physician and thought there was smallpox in the neighborhood, as the young man complained after passing her that he had been vaccinated. Instead of O lance she used brass pin. Shortly after the call for supper was sounded, and it was noticed that instead of sugar in her coffee she preferred salt. We account for that from the fact that she resides near the sea shore. After supper the party commenced to break up, and the host and hostess were summoned and bade kind adieu, and then our friend (the physician started for the door and found it locked. Af- ter trying ali the other outside doors they were nearly giving up in despair, when door was found which opened into the eallar. and down they went and ransaoked that, (but the landlady thinks there was nothing missed but few potatoes) and finally reached the open air by going up pair of stone steps and out of what they call in parlors ''the folding doors." After crossing the street our physi- elan noticed that neighbor had no gate, so they returned to the friends who had fur nished house for them to pass 6 pleasant evening" and took their gate and carried it across and hung it on the neighbours fence and went home. In short time the one who was vaccinated returned home and noticed that some one had presented him with gate. He at once stopped and passed vote of thanks to the donor, but he changed his mind in the morning when he found it was done only for mischief, and returned it to the owner. The next evening this same lady, in company with others, passed by our friends house and noticed that the gate had gone, and for fear that her patient would take cold in his arm, where it had been vaccinated, she, or her escort, borrowed another gate from another neighbor and placed it On his fence. In a short time the patient had g call, and they asked the patient if it was necessary to keep gate on the steps so that their friends could break their necks falling over it, so he went to the door and found larger gate on his front steps, for which he passed no vote of thanks. But the job was laid to tramps, which gave satisfaction. We were pleased after getting all of the facts together to come to the con- clusion that it was all done for joke. But we know of Fowler deeds that have been con- mitted here, of which we shall advise you at the proper time.

 Now it is Mr. Dickens turn. The very children who learned to read and write of him are showing their gratitude by picking at the repuie of their dead m aster-the illiberal roguss They say, forsooth that in turning the cannibal boarding school system of Eng land wrong side outwards-like a dirty bag and shaking it in the wind of public opinion, MT. Dickens used his mothers clothes little in dressing Mrs. Nickleby. Good on his head ! He might use my mothers or grandmother's hummery-for ought I care, or they would have cared I'll wRrrant-to any such good purpose as that. I'll bet the old lady enjoyed the usage, if she knew of it. Mir. Dickens was man enough to let the world use his mother and himself too. Boy hand down that old volume of Pickwick. Read it, sir, and remember that it was done by one who took the world by the ear and made it laugh, while all the while he was telling it what g respectable old swindle it was, in places he did this, mind you, open and above-board, boldly and plainly, without getting burnt, d1awn and quartered or cruciied either, ut died heartily like the good feeder and worker he was, at his own table, after his work was done. He pointed out the nits in the English hair not with sword or bayonet, but with a funny quill, and made humbugs fair game for anybody that lost by them" We ought to be worshiping Dickens and praying for a 4O- Dickens power of ridicule on the s.EatanswilI Gazattes" of these days

The San Francisco Count JOannes.

IG0 S8AAn EF&HCAACO COunt B BOAnm0S0
 There died recently in San Francisco 8 cu- rious character who in some respects resem- bled the eastern count Joannes. His name was Joshua A. Norton, and he was known as Em- peror Norton l., ruler of California and Mexi- co. A San Francisco correspondent of the . Chicago Tribune thus describes some of his peculiarities: stHe was in the habit of issuing proclamations on all sorts of subjects, singing them Norton l., and procuring their publica- cation in some paper. The boys at the tele- graph office in this city were apparently ir- structed to hamor the Emperor for, when- ever he handed in dispatch for transmission the answer would come in about ten minutes. In his pocket at the time of his death was one telegram purporting to come from Gov ernor Perkins, inviting him to the inaueura- tion as Sacramento in terms hardly consonent with gubernatorial dignity; and another from the Hon. O. s. ParnelI, New York touched as follows: Accept my thanks for your interest in behalf of my distressed coun- trymen. The land question will be avoided, but grant me your authority to call on the American people to relieve Ireland's wants. You can call for subscriptions on the gener- ous public of your coast, and remit to me at your convenienee.'

BEAUTIES OF OCTOBER.

How pleasing the beauties of an Oc-
tober landscape The meadows still
wear their beautiful green and the
quiet kline and innocent sheep still
Craze the pastures How rich the tints
Of gold and red of the ripened leaves
that will soon fall from the trees!
How beautiful the sky with its soft
ened tints of grey and blue =. The
white frost of early morn is soon dis
PEELED by the still vigorous sunshine,
and the horizon is sOftened by the
mellow haze of Indian summer. Orch
ards are glorious with their red and
golden fruitage. The landscape is
thickly dotted with fields where in sol
emn rows stand the shocks from
which the nimble fingers of husker re-
veal the golden corn. The farmers
dooryards wear lively appearance
from hocks of full grown chicks with
plump breasts and yellow feet that by
and by will make many table smile
with gladness. And we can enjoy
these beauties so fully and SO freely.
The tiller of the soil who dwells among
them has but to awake his soul and
drink them in. They are too sub
tie, too full of ETHEREAL beauty for the
painter to seize and fasten on his can
vass. Only God can paint the leaves
with the red and golden tints of au-
tumn ripeness. With the Sunshine he
paints the apple gold and red and rus
set and crimson. None but God can
paint the verdure of woods and fields.
None but He can paint the panorama
Of the changing sky or silver the night
with the soft light Of the moon. Let
us enjoy these beauties while our own
spirits grow beautiful with alteration
to the giyer Of all good.

THE KENOSHA FAIR-T'HE
WAUKEGAN FAIR-A COMPAR-
TSON

A visitor of the Waukegan Fair who
felt a deep interest in the Kenosha
Fair would naturally compare the two.
and would rs naturally make the COM
parison as favorable as possible for
Kenosha. Upon viewing the exhibit
in Agricultural Hall at the Waukegan
Fair we were impelled to one or other
conclusion: either that the people about
Waukegan could raise more potatoes,
squash, pumpkins, cabbage, mangolds,
beets, onions carrots, parsnips, egg
plant, etc., etc.; or else their citizens
were more public spirited in sustain
ing the fair There was an abundant
display of all the vegetables, and the
quality was most excellent, and it must
have been quite conundrum in very
many cases for the judges to decide
which should wear the blue ribbon.
never before saw so extensive and fine
display of onions at any fair, not
even at our state fair at Madison this
year; and the cabbages would have
made DR.. Tanners wife's eyes shine,
who, as he alleged, ate boiled pork and
cabbage three times a day. In field
products the display was full and very
good. There was large number of
samples of wheat, and other grains
and seeds were we'll represented. 1t
was about noon of Wednesday when
we entered the hall, and the blue and
red ribbons were already plentifully |
distributed, showing that the judges
were prompt in the discharge of their
duties. Lake county has quite num-
Der of farmers who make speciality of
horse growing, and Horse Growers
Association has been one of the live
institutions of Lake county for some
years, and is the foundation of the
present Fair Association. This has
the production of good
lorses of all the popular breeds, and
he Waukegan Fair always has a mag
lificent show of horses. The display

a Democratic and a Republican news
paper as a business enterprise-if they
had used the same brains in making
respectable showing of ability, their

them keep on hoping; the gentlemen
