THE DUCK AND THE TROUT.

As gentleman was fishing in the
milldam below Winchester, Va, he
accidently threw bis line across
strong white duck, which suddenly
turned round twisted the line around
her own neck and fixed the hook of
the dropper fly in her breast. Thus
entangled aud hooked, she soon
broke off the line above the dropper
and sailed down the stream, with
the end of the fly trailing behind
her. She had not proceeded far be-
fore a trout of about pound and a
half took the fly effectualiY. Then
began struggle as extraordinary as
ever was Witnessed - duck at
dropper aud a large trout Al the end
Of the fly Whenever the 'out ex-
erted itseIfthe terror If ;ha duck was
very conspicuous. Il tluttered its
wings and dragged the f4h. Whom
the trout ives more quiet The duck
evidently gave way and Uttered her.
self to be drawn under some bushes,
where the shortpess of the line did
not allow the duck to shelter herself.
The ducks head was frequently
drawn under the water. By chance
however, the line got across branch
which hung down into the water,
and the duck, taking advantage of
the purchase gave her, dragged her
opponent from his hole and obliged
him to show his head above the wa
ter, Then it became a contest of
life aud death. The trout was in its
last agonies, and the duck in very
weak state, when the line broke and
suffered each to depart its own way.

THE MODERN YOUNG LADY.
Behold her st eleven.

Behold her at eleven.
Her limbs unfettered by the long
skirts Of conventionslity, she runs,
she romps, she slides on the ice
ponds, she rolls hoops, she kicks,
she runs races and is as fresh and as
fleet of foot as the boys. Her apes
tite is good, her cheeks rosey, and
her movement is unconsciously
graceful.
Behold her again at twenty: No
more does she run or jump, or roll
hoop, run races or slide on the ice,
it is not proper" now or lady like,
and she couldn't if she would, for
she is fettered by long skirts, tight
shoes and tight stays. Her moves
ment has no longer the freedom and
unconscious grace of childhood, for
now when she walks abroad she
walks to be looked at, which now in
her estimation is the main object of
walking. She is already in delicate
health, and has a doctor who pre-
scribes expensive advice and pre-
scriptions for her and ascribes her
complaints to anything and every
thing but the real cause That is
simply the lettering of her body
with fashionable clothes. Physical-
ly she is a prisoner. The doctor
advises travel, but he doesn't advise
her to take off end keep off her
fashionable fettors She wouldn't
do SO if be did, and be wouldn't ad-
wise her if he knew il would bring
relief, for she would no longer be-
Iieve in a doctor who would make
her dress like guy, and being
dressed like guy is dressing diff
fereut from the style prescribed by
Paris modiste. Diana never could
hunt in q trailing skirt, narrow,
tight, high heeled CATERS and
pinched corrected waist, but Diana
with a belted tanic and unfettered
limbs would be bounced on Broad
way by the nearest policeman. Dress
ing for health aud freedom of limb
and body is one thing, and dressing
for fashion quite another. A man
could not endure the pinching and
encumberances peculiar to feminine
attire for an hour, and pretty
spectacle he'd make rushing about
in such during business hours. Yet
the "weaker sex" wear double the
encumberances Of the so~called
stronger. To ''dress" at all after
the style uses up half a wOmaR'S
time and two.thirds of her strength.

GEoRGIA's ELECTORAL VOTE.

By the U. S. statute which has
been in force since 1892, the cleo
tors of each State are required to
meet on the first Wednesday in De
cember to cast the vote for president
and vice president. The Legislature
fixes the place of meeting, but not
the time. Some weeks ago Gov,
Colquist published notice to the
electors to meet on the first Monday
in December, 1880, next Monday,
preparatory to canVassing the vote
Of the State for President, This
was in conformity to the State code,
which provides for the calling to,
gether of the electors on the FIRST
Monday in December preparatory
to casting their votes on the first
Wednesday. Ia folio wing the letter
of the State Law, Gov. Colquitt ig>
nored the United States statute,
which provides for the election on
first Wednesday OF December. -
Since the United States law governs
in this case, and 10 accordance with
its stipuiations the Electors must
canvass and cast their votes for
President on the first Wednesday il
December, and the electors of Geor
gia having failed to comply with
the law the vote Of the State in the
Electoral College is entirely lost.
As the election has gone 80 over
whelmingly for Garfield this will
not make any difference.
Mr.. VIM has introduced bill to
change the law.

a LITTLE GIRL MANGLED IN a
STEAM GIN.

We have just learned of another
accident with machinery that occur,
red few days since at Moro, in Lee
county, Ga, which has no parallel in
eith its horrifying details or its
terrible consequences, Mr.. Virgil
G Bingham, a prominent merchant
at Moro, owns steam gin and mill
in the town where he is doing husi
ness, and his little daughter Pearl, a
beautiful child of six summers, walk
ed down to the gin with some of the
servants to summon the operatives
to dinner. The child had beautiful,
long, flowing curlS, which were the
pride of her parents hearts, and had
heen preserved for year on account
of their splendor. Alas those beau
tifui tresaes were the means of drag
ging that innocent child to a horri
bic and untimely death. In passing
under a shaft of the machinery the
chitd's head came close to a nut
which projected little below the
abaft, and it caught in her hair and
by the rapid revolutions, of the shaft
she was instantly drawn against it,
aud in the twinkling of an eye she
was whirIed into the air, and before
her screams for help could be heed
ed by the engineer, her little form
had spun dozen revolutions and
been whipped to death by the pom
derous machinery. The whole scalp
was torn from the head, her limbs
were broken to pieces and her body
torn and mangled in most norris

Here in the twilights silence

And my thoughts 60 drifting, drifting,
To days forever flown,
And think of faces hidden
Under the drilled snow,
Where the robins sing in summer
And the daisy blossoms blow.
And | think of tender voices,
Whose melody, OF old,
Was sweeteI than wild birds singing,
And full of love untold.
But the voices are still and silent
And hear them but in dreams,
When old memories cease to cheer one,
Like transient sunset CLEANS.
Oh, voices whose tender music,
knew 50 long ago ;
Oh, faces of loved, and lost ones,
Deep hidden under the snow
Come back to me in the twilight,

mother by friend:
He is gone and nfaith will wait his return!
For that glow from his eye, for a word by
him spoken; ~. y
1'would heal up my heart by his absence
now broken.
Dark night has come down between Marcus
,. and me;
Every trace has been swept but what mem
DRY treasured,
l. peer into space, listen, nor see -
But that broad gulf between, unknown and
unmeasured.
Eleven in years, only boy, only brother,
life.
Oh why is this sorrow, Tho pain to mother
Oh why should her soul with such anguish
be rife?
He will come when I'm called, when my day;
have been nnVbered,
Oh why should I wish him to earth with its
cares
He has gone to our home free from grief
unincumbered,
Unlike earth, with its tolls, its sorrows and
SHARES.
IT'S but moment with earth's fading pleas
hres,
The Savior has taken him home to his rest
IT'S folly to weep DER earth's valueless treas
ures,
Nor mourn, but rejoice to soon meet witt
the blest.
We will meet when the evening of life ha'
departed.
For life and its shadows are but friends of
day,
Farwells are deep wounds to the sad broken
hearted
Preparing our souls for Eternity's way.
