Indian TrOut.F Flies.

At a meeting of the Academy of
Sciences Monday night B. B. Redding
exhibited specimen of an artificial fly
used by the Indians of Kings River, in
this State, for trout-fshing. He said we
had supposed that civilized people were
the only ones familiar with this method
OF decoying the wary Salno fo1atinaltS,
but the Indians probably used it before
it was invented among us. The hook is
now made from pieces of old iron, but
before the coming of the whites to this
coast, from the tibia or shank of the
deer, The fly, or more properly the cat
erpillar, is obtained from the "wartn OF
the deer. This . wart'' is the same as
that of the horse, a horny excrescence
on the inside of the forelegs, just above
the knee, but differing from that of the
horse, which is bald, in having long, fine
hairs, growing upward instead of down,
These hairs are attached TO the hook, and
as it floats upon the water they are
caused to open and shut in such a man
ner as to strongly resemble the wriggleS
of caterpillar. Their manner of trout
ing is the same as ours. The string ID
made from the tibers of nettle that
grows throughout the State, and is much
stronger and finer than any we use fol
the same purpose. In competition with
all the arts that our fishers resort to,
theirs is uniformly most successful San

A Dog Assistant to Deaf Mutes.

Mr.. AND Mrs. GEO. KEIsER, No. S1S
Walnut Street, this city, are an interest
ing couple, with curious daily history.
They are both over sixty years of age,
He was born deaf and dumb, and she
became deaf when about six years old.
He converses in the sign language, and
she is able to hold extended talks with
few intimates by watching closely the
movements of their lips. She also man
ages to answer mere callers inquiries.
They have a pet dog that is an essential
element in their domestic life. As
neither of the old people can hear, the
deg becomes, by his superior instinct,
means of communication. When the
door bell rings he will go up to Mrs.
Keiser and pull her dress, then run be-
fore her toward the door The dog,
also, has learned TO know the time of
arrival of the milkman who serves the
Keisers, and can actually distinguish the
sound of the milkman's bell. The dog
will sit in the attitude of attention,
head up and ears thrown forward, as
soon as he catches the first notes of the
bell, and will wait until the mikman has
driven IN front of the house before lie
moves. At the ringing OF the bell or
gong he will go to Mrs. Keiser, and, by
signs or pulling her dress, announce the
milkman's arrival, Reading pa J

B9- The election ON Monday demon.
strated one thing very clearly, and that
is that the party yoke is not very bind
ing this year. About ten per cent. Of
the Democratic voters in the State
turned the yoke and headed away from
the leaders. In many localities unpopu-
lar and unworthy candidates were de-
feated when their party was largely in
the majority. Moral: Never attempt
TO defeat measures of reform from
party considerations, and nominate
good men if you wish TO succeed.

That Boy.

"I HOPE nothing will happen to that
boy" the cross passenger remarked,
anxiously, as we were speeding north
ward from London. E
The boy in question was about seven
years old. He was entertaining the
passengers by running up and down the
aisle, shouting like Camanche Indian.
He would run to the rear door, kick the
panels and shout "Ho!'' Then he
would run to the forward door, kick it
and yell 90 Hay!" When this perform
ance began to grow maddening with its
monotony, the boy would lend it little
variety by pausing to look into some
passengers face, while at the same time
he would strike at him and shrek,
"I'll kill you!" 1t was very interest
ing, and we all loved the infant. Now
and then his mother would say, Sam
my, Sammy dear, you mustn't strike the
gentleman; perhaps the gentleman
doesn't like it," And then the gentle
man would lie like Trojan, and say,
"Oh yes, he didn't mind it; he liked
little boys" And so we were all worried
and nervous, for fear the child might
get hurt. We fairly grew with anxiety.
He stopped at my seat, snatched the lap
I" Gimmy that pencil!' and when his
mother said, ''Why, Sammy, am afraid
You disturb the gentleman" Sammy
yelled, (" I'll kill himi" was so anxious
about him that watched him all the way
down the aisle to see if he wouldn't
fall and break his neck. So we all
sat and watched him, with concern
written all over our faces. The boy
Ia foe
passenger, kicked the cross passengers
valise, made faces at the sad passenger,
and hit the man on the wood-box twice
with stick. Once, and only once, he
made an offer to slap the woman who
talks bass, but she glared down at him
with a croak that made his hair stand
| on end, and he avoided her during the
rest of the trip. At last, just as he was
rushing up to the forward door to kick
| it, the impetuous brakeman banged it
open to announce station. He cracked
that boy on the head with the brazen
| knob, and the boy acted very much as
| he would have acted had he been shot
with catapult, and it took all the ice
water in the cooler to cool off his head,
and the boy was effectually quieted
down.
And 1t was really pleasant to see the
wearied look of anxious concern pass off
the passengers faces, after the brake
man dropped the boy, The cross pas
senger's grim face relaxed like May
morning, the fat passenger winked at
the man on the wood-box, who was still
rubbing his knuckles with an air of ten
der interest, the sad passenger hummed
merry little air, and the woman who
talks bass gave cheerful croak that
was interpreted to mean laughter
Four passengers, whose names | could
not learn, gave the astonished brake
man fifty cents apiece. The boy with
his head swathed up in wet handker-
chiefs remained comparatively quiet

Mr.. TiIden'S Plans.

At last we have some reliable news
as to what Mr.. Tilden intends to do,
or, rather, concerning several things
that he has decided upon. As his va
rious plans come through veracious
Washington correspondents, whose
sources of information were found in
several ''reliable Democrats who have
been bosom friends of Mr.. Tilden since
his youth, we can rest in the belief
that the truth has been discovered at
last. In order to more concisely state
the various intentions of Old Usufruct,
we place the situation in numerical or
der:
First. He will stick by the party and
be nominated in spite of Mr.. John
Kelly.
Second. He will close up that little
trouble with Mr.. Kelly and 90 to Gin
cinnati with the solid Empire State at
his back.
Third. He will withdraw, because his
friends believe the good of the party so
dictates.
Fourth. He does not even hope to be
nominated, but is keeping the lead of
his party in order to appoint a political
heir at the moment of his own dissolu-
ton,
Fifth. He will withdraw in favor of
Mr.. Randall,
Sixth. Also in favor of Mr.. Jewett.
Seventh. Also for Mr.. Groesbeck.
Eighth. And Mr.. Payne.
Ninth. Or for some other man.
Tenth. He will turn up at Cincinnati
with half score of barrels, run all the
hotels, fill the city with the noise of a
thousand hired men, and take the prize
away without opposition.
1t will, of course, keep the old gentle
man rather busy to fulfill all these con-
tracts, but what time and strength he
lacks can be supplied by the correspond
ents who placed these obligations upon
him. The country will, at least, be
pleased to know Just what Mr.. Tilden
proposes to do under the political stress
that events have placed upon him.
