Roads.
Mr.. Bragg (Wis), under instruc-
tions from the committee on war
claims, moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill appropria.ing
$244, ,27l to reimburse Hiram john
son, of Tennessee, and others, that
being the surplus of the military
assessment paid by them in excess
of the amount required by the war
indemnity. Agreed to.
Mr.. Reagan (Tex.), under instruc-
tions from the committee on com~
merce, moved to suspend the rules
and pass the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill. After the reading
of the bill, the house seconded, by a
vote of 14S to 30, the motion to
suspend the rules. Thirty MINUTES
debate was then allowed.
Messrs. Lounsbery and Cox N.
" opposed the bill, as did also
Mr.. Chalmers MISSY The latter
said he opposed it because it did
great injustice to the region which
he represented. The word "creek''
occurred in the bill twenty times,
and, for the improvement of various
creeks, seventeen appropriations were
made. The people of Vicksburg were
seeing their property destroyed, and
engineers had estimated that $780,
900 would be necessary to save their
harbor, and yet the committee come
in with pitiful $4,000 fer that
purpose, and at the same time gave
$4,000 to Cheese creek, N. j. No
man could tell where that creek
was, unless it was in the district oil
the member from New Jersy, who
was on the commerce committee.
The paltry appropriation Of
100000 bad been made to re-
move the distractions from the
Mississippi river, while the same
amount had been given to Raritan
river, also in New Jersey.

Strange VOcsiiOns.

A lady-resideut of the Faubourg St. Ger
main, Paris, Is credited with earning a
good income by Matching red, black, aud
brown ants for pheasant preservers. One
Partisan gets his living by breeding mag
gois out of the foul meats he buys of the
chiffoniers, and fattening them up in tin
boxes Another breeds msggots for the
special behoof of nigtingales; and third
''marchand d'asticoIs' boasts of selling be-
tween thirty and forty millions of worms
every season for piscatorial purposes. He
owns a great pit at Montmartre, wherein
he keeps his store. Every day his scouts
bring him fresh stock, for which he pays
them from five 10 ten pence per pound, ac-
cordiDg TO quality; reselling them TO ang-
lers at Just double those rates, and clearing
thereby over three hundred pounds year.
NO wonder he processes great fondness for
his children" as he calls them; although,
like other fond fathers he Is ready enough
to part with them when opportunity offers.
This curious vocation is not unknown IN
England. Some twelve years ago, we are
told, Mr.. Wells, q fishing tackle maker OF
Nottingham, in order 10 ensure a constant
supply of bait for his customers, started a
farm for the rearing of lobworms, cock
spurs, ring-tailed brandlings, and other
worms in demand among the deciples of
Walton, who abound in the old lace town.
To keep his farm stocked, men and boys
go out at night collecting worms in the
meadows and pastures; moist warm night
yielding from two to six thousand worms.
As soon as they are brought in they are
placed in properly selected moss, field moss
for choice, to scour until they become little
more than skin-freshly caught worms be-
ing too tender for the anglers to handle {;
while "when a worm is properly educated,
he is as tough as bit of inds rubber, and
behaves as a worm should do when put
upon the hook" When this condition is
attained, the worms are packed in moss,
and put up in light canvass bags for the
market This worm merchant does not
entirely depend upon the industry of his
collectors, but breeds large quantities him.
self in his own garden; the component
parts of his breeding heap being secret he
not unnaturally keeps to himself.

He was "a Peace Officer.

In Presque Isle county, toward Macki-
nae, is beautiful lake-1ight Grand lake
on whose shore stands a club house
owned by sundry fsh-loving citizens OF
Adrian, Michigan. The country around is
pretty much as nature made through
and the few baCkwoodsmen living there are
much like the country. One OF them,
named Crawford, was lately elected Justice
of the Peace. A wood-chopper made COM
plaint that certain raftsman had beaten
him, and asked for warrant for the Of
tenders arrest. The Justices entire stock
of legal blanks consisted OF summons and
a subpoena. After spending some time
valnly in trying to make these papers fit
the case, he got mad, flung down his
papers and addressed the complainant thus:
See here, mister, this court is bound to see
Justice done in this township. You pay me
two dollars and half, costs of court, show
me the man, aud the Court will lick the
evil out of him IN two minutes Com
plalnant paid the costs and pointed out the
man. The Court" with majesty on his
brow and his sleeves rolled up, went fer
the offender, and in sixty seconds thrashed
him to the full content of both parties.
The Court then put on his coat and re-
marked that she was a peace officer, and
wished it understood that this Court would
preserve the peace, and any man who
thought he could raise thunder in that neck
of woods would have 10 try the case with
the court personally" No other case has
since been tried by Squire Crawford.

A Boy and a Pole.

OF course il is wrong 10 90 fishing on the
Sabbath day, and the Clergyman of Berk-
shire county church felt thai it was 80 when
he addressed his Sunday School and earnest
ly exh0rted the boys to refrain from such
proceeding. But there was one boy in the
school who, instead of being led awag from
the evil by the pastors address, merely got
the idea from it of going out that very after
noon, and when the reverend gentleman,
who, on six days in the week, was as ready
to pull trout from the water as the next
man, was strolling n the meadows later in
the day, he was panied to come upon that
wicked small boy seated under some bushes
and angling in a deep hole in brook. He
opped and said to the confused and blush
ing youth: "My boy, Pm sorry tO.see that
you pay so little regard to what | said this
morning. The boy had dropped his pole
at being addressed, and at that instant the
line Strengthened with yank that be:okened
big trout on the hook. The lad saw it,
but he dared not toucL the pole until the
clergyman said: "YOu had better take your
pole and GO home. Be quick, too, boy !"
Then the youngster tried to obey, but he
was a very small boy, and the fish didn't
come out very easily, anu TIC way lndI
clergyman fretted and fumed for minute
was a caution, and then he said: IL
am afraid-if leave you with the pole,
you'll use ii again when Pm gone-go home
and I'll take it home for you," and he
seized the poe and the small boy skipped
away and in a minute there was a splendid
three-pound trout in the ciergyman's hands,
and then before he could hide the pole and
wrap the fish IN his handkerchief to put it
in his pocket, along came one of the Gea-
cons, and the pastor had terribly embar-
RAISING time explaining the matter, and had
to rame seven different days that he expect
ed the deacon to dine with him before the
latter would believe that the pastor found
boy there with the pole and fish, but that
the youth ran off on the pastors approach.

Premier Gladstone.

In personal appearance Mr. Gladstone
an active, 1.-THE. muscular man, rather tall
and of l-proportioned frame. His face
and figure have that clear-cut contour
which generally indicate several generations
of intellectual activity and personal leader
ship. Mr. Gladstone is the defendant of a
long line of Scotu.h lairdmen of small.
wealth and limited possess. .ons, but accus-
toned u stand first in their community, to
think and to lead. The face Is scholarly,
cultivated, its outlines boldly defined by
that meagreness Of muscle which distin-
guishes the intellectual athlete. "e is
not an ounce of supefluous flesh on it. The
thin lips and well-cut mouth and chin be-
| token tirmness, determination and endur-
ance. Seventy summers have sat lightly
on Mr.. Gladstone, but the years have
brought their blessings of rest and his face
in general wears the repose Of strength and
experience-strongly lined with the record
of trouble and thought. A new fact, how
ever, or an aggressive opinion, wakes the
whole man in the fire of youth, and the eye
flashes with eager light, and the body bends
quickly forward as ii to grasp a fresh &C
qisIton. Like all strong Englishmen, Mr..
Gladstone is man of large ply sical pow
er and endurance, fond of outdoor air and
work, and the ring of his axe at Haw-
arden, so familiar to England, has echoed
even across the Atlantic.
