A Fish Story.

4 Boston correspondent Of the For
est and Stream tells the following re-
markable story: Tho scene is laid in
Long Island, where, on the shore of
pond, the correspondent was watching
the play of swallows as they skinned
Just over the surface of the water
shortly before sunset. About a hun
dred yards out was bed of lily pads;'
and as the swallows skipped it, oeca-
sionally goodsized ripple could be
seen, aud sometimes break from the
edges Indicating a fish there. This
fastened my attention to the particular
place. had often seen cats play with
swallows, swooping at them, but the
idea of fish doing the same was some
thing new to me. Presently [ saw a
clean breach, and fine large pickerel
showed his whole size and got a swal-
low, too, as he disappeared beneath the
water. This | saw repeated several
times, and | called the attention Of my
companion to this novel sight. While
we were watching we saw two large fish
break at the same swallow. the fish
coraing from opposite directions, and
each head on to each. Both missed the
one fish was seen to drop into the water,
and neither was seen to pass the other.
My companion and myself looked with
wonder. There was a great commotion
in the water, with continuous spatter-
ing, and a boat being handy we jumped
in and rowed to the spot, and picked
up the largest pond pickerel ever saw.
When we had him in the boat the mys-
terry was solved; the smaller of the fish
had, in his eagerness for the swallow,
jumped clear down the larger ones
throat, and only the tail, to the extent
Of about an inch, showed. The large
fish was completely rent asunder and
killed by the catastrophe. Both to-
gether weighed twenty-five pounds.
A curious case OF disagreement of
doctors developed recently in Brook
lyn. Major John 7. Harold sued the
New York Elevated Railway Company
for Injuries sustained in collision.
asking $50, 900 damages. The surgeon
who attended him swore his eighth and
ninth ribs were broken, the lungs
pUnctured, and q concussion of the
spine received which caused partial
paralysis, and would result fatally.
Six doctors and surgeons employed
by the company swore with equal
positiveness that the plaintiff gave no
evidence of broken ribs, that his lungs
had not been punctured, that he was
strong and muscular, in no wise suffer-
ing from his spine, and only shamming.
No wonder judge and jury were
puzzled. The verdict. however was
$4,000 damages.

An illustration of the disturbed
condition of Russia is afforded by the
fact, stated in the recent returns of the
provincial authorities, that the prisons

inmates, at present contain 63, 900 indi-

Nothing New.
MRS. NJ. A. KIODER.

Nothing new-nothing new"
On the sea or on the shore,
As to perfume, shape and hue,
Every flower has bleomed before
Every billow, ripple, wave,
Leaping up in listless play,
Seems the same that ocean gave
When we journeyed yesterday. !
Nothing nsw-nothlnS new
In the meadow sweet We find,
Even every drop of dew
Glstens after its own kind
Every nesting sings the song
Taught it by the parent birds,
Even as our loved ones throng
Round Us with fanailia,' words.
Nothing new-nothlng new
As We scan the milky way,
Every star that gems the blue.
Shone upon our atal day.
Sunlight streams, and moonlight CLEANS,
Storms and earthquakes come and go,
Life, and love, and sleep and dreams,
Just as in the long ago!
Nothing new-nothing new
Al We wander here and there
One thing you forgot, say you,
Mans intentions, grand and rare.
See the wonders of his hand
As you travel up aHd down
Through the iron-girded land
Grant to Lin a jeweled crown
Nothing new-nothing new
Even mans acknowledged might,
Whatsoe'er his hands may do,
Brings but hidden things to light
Proves but this, that God imparts
Thought divine, that we may be
One with Him, to do his will
Here and in Eternity.

A horse tnat is to be used for work
says the National Lire Stock Journal,
should be exercised at regular inter
walls for at least half an hour on every
day on which he is not required for
work. Many sudden deaths in winter
and spring result from the neglect of
this salutary precaution. Certain dis
eases of the feet, too, may be warded

Practical.

Zabdiel Adams, a Congregational cler-
gyman of Massachusetts,, in the last CEN
tury, vas noted for sharp wit and p1thy
sayings. He was apt to say pungent
things in the pulpit, if matters went bad
ly in the parish, and adjoining parishes
had learned to fear his sharp tongue.
A neighboring clergyman, noted for
mildness and timidity, once proposed
an exchange of pulpits. Mr.. Adams
accepted the proposal eagerly, for he
was itching to tell this people some
plain truths about their nlggardliness
in neglecting their Westinghouse.
There were broken panes in the pulpit
window, ragged cushion on the desk,
and q general forlornness about the
sanctuary.
Mr.. Adams had prepared singing
rebuke for parsimony, when his timid
neighbor, suspecting some such pur-
pose, rode over on Saturday, and ex-
acted promise that he would say moth
ing unkind to the people. Mr.. Adams
reluctantly consented, but new idea
occurred to him. Taking little bag
with him into the pulpit. he waited till
the congregation gathered. Then,
looking round, as if feeling draught,
he examined the broken panes, and
opening his bag, took out bundle Of
rags, stuffed them slowly into the open
ings, and surveyed his work with great
satisfaction. There was a sensation
below.
He began the services. In the mid
die of his sermon, growing very ami
mated, he closed the Bible, set it aside,
and lifting his hands impressively,
suddenly brought them down with
great force on the cushion. Feathers
blew out of the holes abundantlv.
Looking round comically. he said,
"Bless me! how the feathers fy!' and
resumed his sermon as if nothing had
gone amiss.
made before another Sunday. though
he had kept the letter Of his promise

A Coon PAPER -WEIdHr-Lately an
inhabitant of Naples informed his
friends that he was about to make
trip to Paris. Immediately he was
overwhelmed with commissions. Upon
his return to Naples the traveller
brought with him. however. only a
part of the purchases ordered THROUGH
him. "How in the world could you be so
forgetful?' said several of those whom
he thus disappointed. 1 will tell you
how it happened" said the Neapolitan;
''such and such a one in giving me their
commissions gave me the money at the
same time. l folded each ones money
in the paper on which his commissions
we're written and placed all the paper on
my table. A sudden gust of wind came
and blew away every paper that did not
contain money-possibly your commits
sion was among them"

DoNGoJ \, September Goth, 1880.
Seven men can take a poor tramp out
after night and murder him, and, Of course,
one man who is young, large and strong,
can knock down an old man; but after all
the old proverb that birds will come home
to roost often proves true. 1t has already
come to pass that the cowardy brute, who
knocked Old Trim down two weeks ago,
now lies at home with his head well ham
mered. For three days he was on drunk,
travelling the streets Of Dongola and trying
to get some one to fight HIM. He swore
he was a Ssh of b-h on wheels" and
many other things did he swear till he met
one Tom Hudson. Tom "to once" proceed
ed to give him a mauling to the extent that
the "s--n of &c. on wheels had to be car
ried home all in gore of blood.
Those roughs who stepped to the front anG
paid the brutc's fine for knocking Old Trim
down, can now open their purses and pay
the brute's doctors bill, for so severely did
Hudson beat him that he had to have med
ical treatment. We have recently read a
letter from Old Trim to the BULLETIN,
wherein he claims that Dongola has re-
deeming qualities. We don't want to get
into fight with pencils with Old Trim,
but will venture to ask HIM in his next let

Cultivated Biackberries

It is not generally known, because not gem
orally prsc.iced, that the blackberry is sus-
ceptible of a very high state of cultivation.
Those we use as a rule grow wild in the
woods, fence corners or old fields and when
left thus to struggle with grass, shrubs and
bushes, the fruit is small and unsavory and
The crop secured with the greatest difficulty,
when secured at all, for scarcely one per
cent of it is ever saved in the South.
To cultivate it properly old and well
worn lands may be devoted to
the purpose. The ground should be
we'll plowed and checked in hills five feet
apart either way. In these hills the root is
planted in early spring and left alone until
the grass begins to grow when burrows
should be run between the rows. Two good
plowings are sufficient for the season. The
second year the pruning knife should be
phed. tops cut off and where too thick the
surplus vines removed. 1t is very necessary
for them to have plenty of sun as they DO
not do we'll in the shade. They can easily
be made to grow as large MS the largest
strawberry, and what delicious fruit it is
when properly prepared all know, to say
nothing of its brandy and wine properties
As an article of merchandise it is always in
demand at every season of the year.
