Why Bass Never Take an Upper Fly,
the Lower One Being Taken.

In a recent letter, Seth Green, who is
authority in all matters piscatorial, dis
courses briefly on the best modes of
angling for bass. Among other state
ments he makes the following, which
will be interesting to many " simple wise
men, who have the good sense and leis-
ure to go a-fshing:
Ii the fish is on the lower fly, you will
not take any more, but if he~is on one of
the upper flies, you will be sure to take
more If there are any in sight
We learned this fact and published it
years ago as curious habit of the bass
family. But we knew the fact long be-
fore we discovered the reason of it.
Nothing in our angling experience ever
caused us more perplexity or so greatly
excited our curiosity. It took us a week
OF patient observation on what used to
be the best trolling ground on the St.
Lawrence the neighborhood of eau
anoqua- clear up the mystery. But we
finally succeeded to our entire satisfac-
ton, and here is the simple solution
The bass is a social fish. He likes
company. Where there is one there is
more. They move in schools. When
one strikes the troll there are always
others in the neighborhood. When the
lookers-on see the struck fish i" cutting
up" they "go for him under the i'm
preston that he has found ''good
thing, of which they are unwilling he
should have the monopoly. AS the ang-
Ter, on feeling the strike, at once "reels
up, the ravenous rascals follow in pur-
suit, but never pass their leaping and
foundering companion, because they
fancy he is trying to seize and gorge the
" tid-bit'' they wish to share with him.
This purpose keeps them either even
or behind him, but they never pass him.
Hence none ever take the fly above the
one upon which the captive is hooked,
but are pretty sure to be beguiled by any
fly below him.-George DaaO8on IN
Alb0ny Journal.

A Home Thrust.

William Cullen Bryant, when chal-
lenged once to fight duel, contrived to
fasten the charge Of cowardice on the
other fellow . very neatly, and with little
trouble. His reply having been incor-
rectly reported in the notices of his
death, his son-in-law, Parke Goodwin,
publishes the facts as follows
Mr.. Bryant was challenged by DIR.
Holland, now deceased, on account Of
ONE offensive words that had appeared
in the Evening Post, but, remembering
that DR.. Holland had been previously
challenged by William Leggett, without
taking any notice of the challenge, he
replied to this effect:
"MY DEAR SIR: I am not familiar
with the code of the duelist, but I be-
ieve that, according to its provisions, no
one has a right to send challenge to
fight duel so long as an unanswered
challenge hangs over his head"
Then the matter was dropped.

bride. Bibb soon left the main road
and darted into the woods, expecting to
make short cut and reach the house
before his rival, but Miller kept the
road and got in on the homestretch eight
minutes before his rival. Both men
were in sight of each other going up the
lane to the house, and Bibbs efforts to
overtake his rival were almost superhu-
man. When they reached the house,
Bibb, from sheer exhaustion, tainted on
the porch, almost at the feet of his lady
love. When the matter was stated 20
her she said she had come to the con-
clusion that she liked Mr.. Bibb the best,
and therefore she would mary him. Her
sympathies were won over by seeing
him faint She stated that she believed
that both loved her, but that he who
faints at the danger of losing bride
must love her more than he who is cool
and unconcerned in the midst of it all.
The affair causes intense excitement in
this small place. Tonight Rev. Aaron
Jasper, the well-known Baptist minister,
married Bibb and Miss Lloyd. So ended
one of the most startling romances in
real life ever known in the history of
North Carolina.

A Race for a Bride.

A correspondent at Pollockville, N.

here to-day. 1t seems that Messrs.
John Miller and Alexander Bibb, two
well-to-do young farmers, were in love
with the same lady, Leonora Lloyd, a
beautiful girl of this place She was not
able to decide as to which she liked best.
On Sunday morning Bibb walked home
from church with her, and left under the
impression that she said she would
marry him. Last night, lover No 2,
Miller, went to see her, and understood
her to say she would marry him. Each
one armed himself with the necessary
documents, and each left with license
to marry Miss Lloyd. After some talk
they agreed that the first man who
reached the lady's house should marry
her. The residence Of Col. Lloyd, the
lady's father, is one mile distant, and
both men started Oh the race for the

Mount Vernon.

Whence Mount Vernon derived it's
name is told by the New York Times.
1t says
The unfortunate Duke of Monmouth
had a private secretary named Vernon,
a prudent sensible man of business,
who, after the Dukes death, found IA
vor in influential quarters, and under
William III. became Secretary of State.
He left son. Edward, born 1854, who,
greatly against his fathers wishes, en-
tered the navy, and, serving with early
distinction, rose to the rank of Admiral.
In 1922 he was returned to the House
of Commons, and having in July, 1879,
declared there that Porto Bello might
be reduced with six sail of the line, and
he would stake his life and reputation
on the success of the expedition, he was
sent with a squadron to do it, succeeded,
and gave his men $4,000, which had
just arrived to pay his troops.
On returning home he received the
thanks Of both houses and the freedom
of the city of London. From that time,
however, his star declined.
An expedition to Carthagena, made
two years later, signally failed.
1t was in the land force at Carthagena
that Lawrence Washington, Georges
eldest brother by fourteen years, had
served, and, apparently, he esteemed
Vernon, as he gave his name to his home
on the Potomac, and procured Mid
shipman's appointment for George, but
his mothers interposition ultimately pre-
vented the boys awaiting himself of it,
albeit she at first consented.
Vernon's popularity was so great that
his unlucky expedition does not seem to
have affected it, as he was actually elect
ed to Parliament for three places at once
on his return.
Probably his known hostility to the
Government had much to do with this.
In 1745 he was detailed to watch the
North sea, III view of a movement OF
the Pretender's adherents.
The next year a serious squabble
arose between him and the Government,
resulting in his producing two pamphlets,
which so exasperated the authorities
that, by the Kings express command,
he was struck off the list of Admirals.
He died in 1857, at his seat in Suffolk,
and, Notwithstanding his disgrace, 8
handsome monument was erected III
Westminster Abbey.
1t was Vernon who brought into use
the custom Of mixing water with the ia.
ton Of rum, which got the name Of groe
from his habit of wearing a grogran
waistcoat, and hence his nickname O
cold Grog."
Altogether, the man who invented
grog is buried at Westminster Abbey
commemorated by Smollet, and gave
name to Washington's home, must b
regarded as no ordinary person.

Food for the Sick.

The following advice as to admins
terlng food to the sick deserves the at
tention of nurses and of all who are
called upon to look after nervous pa
TENTS:
It is a great mistake to have large
quantities of fruit, biscuits, etc., lyi1 g
about q sick-roOm.
A very few grapes, an orange peele1
and divided, and two or three milk OF
water biscuits are quite enough to have
displayed at one time.
The same may be said of food.
[ have often been panied, when visit
ing some of my sick pensioners, to see
their friends, with well-meant but mis-
taken kindness, bring large basinfuls of
horrible compounds, which they dignity
with the name Of cruel, or sage, or tap
1oca, as the case may be.
The mere sight of the food seemed to
set them against it. Whereas, if a little
care had been bestowed upon it's prep
aration, and small cupful provided in
stead of the large quantity I name,
they probably would have partaken of
it with pleasure.
AHOJneF error, COnlm1CU0Q Win Gn0
best of intentions, is to keep asking the
patients what they would like, if they
could take this thing OF the other. The
sickened, wearied expression I have
often seen fit over the faces of people who
are recovering from lingering illness,
when their officious relatives come teas
ing them as to their requirements
During the lingering illness Of dear
relative, verify believe we made her
often eat, just by providing dainty NOR
sells OF food, displaying them temptingly
arranged, and taking them to her bed
side quite unexpectedly.
If she had been asked could she eat
anything, I feel confident the answer
would have inevitably been: Ono;
thanks I don't feel at all inclined to
eat.
A very simple and expeditions way of
cooking little bit of chicken or fish is
to butter paper thickly, place the food
to be cooked within the paper, and place
it on the gridiron over a clear fire. A
very short time sufices to cook it thor
oughly, and [ have often found that to
be eaten when all other modes of invalid
cookery have been tried in vain.
