Catching Black Bass.

1t has been some time since it oc-
cured but it will bear repetition. He
was q drummer, and after being on
the road for some time, and, agree
ably impressed with Jackson, he con-
cluded to take few days rest and re-
cuperate. Being fond of fishing, he
concluded he would angie for the fnny
tribe, and thus pass away few hours
very pleasantly. Now our drummer
friend was from a section of country
where large fish were plentiful, and
small ones like those which abound in
our lakes, had no charm for him. He
went into Spengler's and secured fish
ing tackle, viz: One line about the
size used for trot lines, half dozen
hooks, size ditto. Armed thusly,
Spring lake was pointed out to him,
and he started. Reaching the lake he
secured boat and after fishing
patiently for about an hour without
even the satisfaction of getting a bite,
and all the time watching the grim
dies jumping, he innoceEtly inquired
of young man "what kind of fish
are those jumping ?"
"BIack Bass" was the ready
answer of the young man.
And then our drummer did begin to
fish in dead earnest. Every time /
Grindle made break in the water,
the fisherman would grasp paddle
and pull for the spot with all possible
haste, with the exclamation, "Hll try
you old felloww And out would go
she line baited with about pound of
Jaw beef He kept this up for two
hours, the sun coming down upon him
III the time finally he gave it up as a
lad, job, and pulling for bank, he very
gave his fisnicg tackle to
he young man who had so kindly
-iven the information in regard to the
Bass, he returned to the hotel. Upon
,eing asked what luck he met with, he
aid: "There is any amount Of Black
lass jumping down, there, but they !
re the dan'dst slowest biters l ever
truck. never caught but ole fish, !
nd that was d-m lobster" IN

Now if there is anything in th,
world that we have a weakness for, il
is music. Sweet, soft and enhancing
music, (Which has charms to soothe
etc." but our fondness does not go to
the limit of hand-organs, bass-drum
solos, skedunks or vocal serenades,
such as emenate from the jaws of that
4O-horse power mule, which some
kind country friend-having heard of
our fondness for music perhaps-in-
sists upon tying to a tree near our
office. If this isn't stopped, we shall
have to call on our neighbor of the
Republican and borrow his patent
"firing-out machine" and wind it
up to its full power, place it gent
ly, but firmly, under that quadruped,
and blow him through the State
House. We are getting desperate
about this matter, and don't think we
could possibly stand another serenade
from his muleship.

A Benevolent Dog,

On Monday last, the bystanders in
front of DR.. Lemly's Drug Store, were
much amused at the action of large
Newfoundland dog, the property of a
prominent physician of this city.
The dog had been frolicing around the
store for some time, but left, and after
remaining away for while, returned,
having in his mouth a small dead
puppy. He stood and looked at the
crowd for few minutes, when he
proceeded to give the deceased "purp,"
proper burial. He placed the car
cass on the ground and finding a soft,
sandy place, began to scrape out
grave in the sand, with the end of his
nose. 1t being finished, he picked up
the pup and gently placed him in the
hole, covered him over with the sand
and looked with a knowing wag of
his bushy tail, as much as to say, 'the
ceremonies are over" Was it instinct
or reason?

Desiring to convey number of hot.

specimen of the "nations wards" with
wheelbarrow, to transport the same.
TO insure against breakage, she ac-
companied the carrier on his trip.
After going some distance, the little
darkey broke down, but nothing
daunted, the young lady-giving her
parasol to the "ward" her posi-
ton between the handles of the
wheelbarrow and went pushing along
as if the pleasure experienced, fully
repaid for the work performed. Had
it been some of the young men, they
would have sat down ana waited for
that little darkey to get rested, if it
took all the summer.

ana 1t was well attended, by delega-
lions of black, white and yellow.
Isaac LETTERS, (black } the first candi-

play. The two first named paid their
lines and went on their way rejoicing.
Joe Wright will play second shovel
in Gen. Clark's orchestra for u days,
free board and no benefit.
James Carroll, committing "nuci-
lage" on the streets, joined the shovel
ers for y days in default of payment
of 81 so.
Ben. Rowland, colored, an old visi-
tor, but young man, got full of tan
glefoot and went on a big high. He
varied the monotony by hieing bricks
through the window of Miss Josephine
Frost's domicile, for which little piece
OF fun he will give his strength and
talents to the city for the next Is days.
Ben is determined to to serve the city
all the time, having just got through
a sixty days successful engagement
with the Clark troupe.
Jack Floyd, yellow small boy
who left Scott county only a few days
'ince, for the purpose of "seeing the /
