Winter Fishing on Chautnuq,in Lake.
The winter fishing on Chantauuua Lal

The winter fishing on Chantauqm Lake
is good business. Being an inland
lake it freezes over quicker than Lake Erie,
and when the latter body is open Chautau-
qua Lake has ice enough to hold up an
army of fishermen. There are about
twenty scoops" as they are called, out on
the Ice. A coop is a box about three
feet square, with hole IN tho bottom. A
hole is cut In the ice and the box Is placed
over 1t, and 1t being perfectly dark in there
he can see the bottom as plain as day if the
water is clear. If it Is not clear, a news
paper Is sunk to the bottom under the coop,
and fish passing over it are easily seen
Through this hole in the ice a wooden fish
properly weighted Is sunk to the proper
depth, and with u cord attached to it, the
bogus fish Is made to fly around lively, and
thereby attract other fish to its locality.
The man in the coop keeping watch, seeing
Il fish In good position, lets drop his heavy
spear, weighing from fifteen to twenty
pounds. fastening him to the bottom. Some
lafgc fisl are caught in that way. The
Monday before New Years there were
caught three plckercl weighing respectively
twenty seven, thirty, and forty-two pounds

FARM AND GARDEN.

Oil CLOTH AND PAPER FOR Hot BEDS.
-For forcing early melons, tomatoes,
etc., prepared cloth Is especially adapt
ed, as il can he tackled to boxes Of any
size rcuuircd.. and cut to fit them. lit
tie, rough, square boxes of the proper
size and hcignt, covered with the pre-
pared cloth. can be placed over the
hills in which tomato, melon or Other
seeds arc planted, and the plants al
lowed to stand without trans planC;ng,
until all danger Of frost is over, when
tho boxes may be taken Off and packed
away carefully for another season.
Take white cotton cloth, of u closctex-
ture, stretch it aud nail it on frames Of
any Size you wish; mix two ounces Of
lime water, four ounces of linseed oil,
one ounce white Of eggs separately,
two ounces OF yOlk OF eggs; mix the
lime and Oil with a very gentle heat,
beat the eggs separately, and mix with
the former. Sp:cad this mixture with
paint brush over the cloth, allowing
each coat to dry before applying anotI-
er, until they become waterproof.
The following arc some of the advan-
iaScs these shades possdas over glass :

WnEcfinS; no matter now intense the
heat of the sun, the plants are never

GOV. BROWNLOW'S PORTRAIT.

| A great deal of indignation has
been excited among the political
and personal friends of the late
Gov. Brownlow by the CHRONICLES
account of the insult offered
to his memory by the managers OF
the Nashville centennial exposition.
Nor is this to be wondered at. Gov.
Brownlow is reverenced and beloved
by the people of East Tennessee as
no man that ever lived in our midst
has been. His character, in all its
nobility ; his courage, SO admired by
the valiant hearts of East Tennes>
sees mountaineers his devotion to
the old flag, which devotion they all
possessed; his martyr-like spirit,
with which he met the affronts and
tortures inflicted by revengeful
foe; his preeminent ability, all
united to make him man among
and above men, and patriot who
was almost worshipped by his follow
ers. The last century has not, nor
the next will not, produce a man
who will be held so close in the
hearts of East Tennesseeans. An
insult to him is an insult to the
unionists of this whole region, for it
can not be denied that the slight
was given only on account of the
hatred with which these very senti-
ments Of his are held by the demo>
cratic managers.
The war has been closed fifteen
years, aud democratic speakers and
papers everywhere announce
that they long since have
succumbed to the inevitable
and cry "bloOdy shirt" whenever
that struggle is mentioned and yet
even these fifteen years have not
been able to diminish by the one
millionth part the hatred and loathp
ing they feel toward Brownlow as
the representative Of the loyal por-
