| by proxy, and were unrewarded for their
pains. Still hoping to redeem themselves,
they accused a woman living in Charleston,
South Carolina, of smuggling, and she also
was reduced to Godiva garb without max
! ing any discoveries. All the persons
searched were persons of high respecta-
bility, who would naturally be beyond
suspicion. No wonder that they were, and
continued to be angry. Such process is
bad enough for man. For a refined.
sensitive woman it is gross indignity, if
not a positive indecency.
SETH GREEN,
The noted fshculturiss of this State, whose
square, honest, ruddy face, and white flow
ing beard are familiar to many New York
ers, has been telling journalist here how
he happened to adopt his speciality. He
says that he had long enssfshing in the
lake (Ontario) for livelihood, and his
trade had largely increased. He had finally
set up tish market in Rochester, supply
ing the whole country around with trout,
pickerel, salmon, white fish, etc. A good
live fisherman, he was in the habit of going
up the streams emptying into the lake to
catch trout, salmon and other game fish.
| One day he saw fine female salmon,
weighing some six pounds, come up the
stream, accompanied by her mate and sew
eral other fish. Getting behind tree to
escape observation-the salmon is very
wary-he saw the female scoop out with
| her tail place in the bottom of the brook.
After while she would swim off coquet-
tisbly, and returning would continue the
work, her companions aiding her. The
thought occurred to Green that she must
be putting down spawn where other fish
could not get at it. Brook trout are very
fond of salmon spawn, and deyour it
wherever found. Salmon spawn is extreme
ly fertile, if out of reach and sight. Green
| grew so interested In the incident he had
witnessed that he climbed the tree the next
day and sat among the boughs to make
| further observation, which he could readily
do on account of the clearness of the water
He resolved that, when he had little more
money, he would undertake pisiculture,
which had already been begun in England
He read everything he could find on the
| subject, and as soon as he had an income of
| 81, 200 beyond his needs he secured brook
near Rochester, and with five miles of it
under his control, he invented Matching
boxes, and prosecuted the business regu-
| larly. He has succeeded admirably, as
everyone knows, and has acquired ma
tional and, indeed, transatlantic reputa-
ton. Seth Green's fish breeding grounds
near Rochester are one of the principal
sights of the neighborhood, and one of the
first places visited by strangers and tour
lists generally.

Is inevitably considered to be by all ortho-
dox theologians, his principles are so pure,
his standard SO high, and his life so ex-
allied, that the most vigorously evangelical
can find nothing in them or it to condemn
or disapprove. In discussing him and his
doctrines they have been sorely troubled
to determine what is to be his place in the
world to come. Some of them have held
that he is really gifted, learned, refined
pagan, like Plato and Aristotle that, in
| the Divine wisdom and mercy, special
provision would be made for him as for all
pure and conscientious heather who hap
| pened to life before Christianity had been
born. Others have thought that he must
be eternally punished for wasting of his fine
| capacities, for his pride of intellect in
which he wholly trusts, rejecting the sim
pie teachings of the Scriptures. The sage
| OF Concord has, In truth, given the ortho-
| dox divines no little concern. They have
been unable to classify him; all sorts of
| opinions have been expressed as to his
! spiritual destination-m of them consid-
ering that, while he is too skeptical to be
saved he is too good to be damned. A
Baptist preacher here was asked, not long
ago, what his views on the subject We're.
He replied My creed prevents me from
believing that Emerson can go to Heaven.
But everything forbids the idea of his 60
ing to hell. Indeed, hell is impossible for
such man as Emerson. II he should 90
there he would change the climate. Where

This is the season of auctions, when
Eastern rugs, embroideries, brio brac
and articles for household decoration are
offered for sale. Such is the rage for these
things at present that the auction rooms
are often crowded, women being largely
represented, and the articles frequently
bring more than they would in the regular
shops. When people catch the auction
fever it is very hard to cure them. Women,
indeed, are never fully healed.
The Lotus Club has just celebrated the
tenth anniversary of its life. Excellent
and popular as the club now is, it was
originally founded-so some of the old
members say-as a blackmailing organiza-
ton, That is, some of the men instru-
mental in getting it up were newspaper
critics, who hoped by its establishment to
be able to compel theatrical and musical
agents and managers into their pecuniary
service. The design of the dishonest fell
lows was soon detected by the honorable
Lotos- eaters, and they were promptly ex-
PEELED.
1t is little odd that three of the con-
trolling editors of three of the leading
journals here should be Scotch or of Scotch
descent To mention them in the order of
their years John Foord. of the Times,

of the Herald, is the son of Scot and
Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune is son or
grandson of Scotch covenanter.
A man and his wife, living up town,
who were married six years ago, have nine
children. They have had twins thrice,
and lately have had triplets, and every
baby has lived. This is strictly veracious.
The parents are poor, of course.
A story is circulating in Printing House
Square that Louis j. Jennings, late of the

Catharine Lewis, the charming soubrette
of Days Theater, has been too i'll to APP

though not filled, by another actress. No
young woman in New York can supply her
place She is exceedingly attractive with
out particle of supineness.
Somebody says that Rev. Joseph Cook is
