sport is all gone for the day"
Suddenly an idea struck Gilligan; he
told Lewis that he would get the mar
anchored near some stagnant pool
where a trout would never think of
going and thus keep him away from
the good places. The man Was just
getting his tackle in shape as Gilligan
strolled up.
"Goin' to try yer luck ~

"Ever fish much ?"
"Back in the States about twelve
years ago, for bullheads, suckers and
SUCH"
"You cans catch anything with that
pole; where's your reel?
"Never use 'em. 1 just yank 'em
right over my head"
"Your hooks too big for this stream"
"All I've got"
Gilligan hated to see a man fish with
such poor tackle and offered him some
smell hooks and gut leaders, but the old
fellow said he'd be sure to bust 'em an
he'd rather use old tackle he was used
to. He tied a nail to the line and
then got out box of worms.
"You can't use worms here" said
Gilligan. ain day like this you must
use brown hackle fly with little red
on the body"
"Don't go much on your new tangled
flies. Worms is my best hold"
"That amt a bad place." pointing to
a spot where there wasn'ta rifle or any
signs of a current.
"Just the place was goin' to tackle"
said the man.
Gilligan went down and told Lewis
that he had got the old fellow fixed

weeks.

Sure enough he had his fish on

perts continued to fish wondering how
a trout ever strayed into such water and
in about five minutes another trout de-

head. He threw the fish on the bank
above him, his wife took it off the line,
baited the hook and then he just slam
med the tackle into the wateras if he was
wheat. He kept this up for
a couple ofhours, and when he wound up
his line he had thirteen fine trout while
the others had failed to get a nibble.
"You was right about that place stran-

A British tourist, stopping at the
Ormsby House, hired hoy to dig him
some bait, as he wished to fish at the
Mexican dam. When the tourist
reached the river he paved over the
can of dirt only to find one worm. On
his return he berated the boy for giving
him but one worm.

SOME STUBBORN FACTS.


 The householders and taxpayers of New Haven who are asked to vote for change from the present very satisfactory management of the city's water supply should take pains be- fore they comply with the request to find out whether they are going to gain anything by the proposed change,-whether. for in stance, they are likely to get their water any cheaper than they do now
 It is probable that few of the people of this city realize how cheaply they are served with water. A comparison of the water rates here with those of other cities will, theref ore, be instructive For this compari- son we take the cities in table printed in the report made by the city's water commit tee to the Common Council. In this table. entitled "Table showing Amounts paid for Water by Family occupying large House in different Cities" % cities are mentioned and the rates given for family, a pan closet a bath tub, a awash stand or second faucet, a wash-tub, horse and carriages with use of hose, COW, and hose (sinRle rate)
 An examination of this table shows that in 25 of these 29 cities the water rates are higher than in New Haven, and in only are they lower. The average rate in the 29 cities is $30.50. In New Haven the Tate is $22, $8.50 Jess t1an tAe doerage
 For the water privileges which cost householder in New Haven $22, household CT in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, pays $71.50; in Buffalo New York, $43. 50; in Cam bridge, Massachusetts, $41; in Alton, Illinois, $39; in Newton, Massachusetts, $S5 50; in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, $35 in Chicago Illinois, $34; in Cincinnati, Ohio, $33 80.
 These figures speak for themselves If the city buys the waterworks water will not be as cheap here as it is now. But perhaps the of ownership will compensate the taxpayers for what it will cost them. At least, that is one of the theories now floating ,I,ouf

COMMUNICATIONS.
The Water Queation.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Believing that the established position of your journal warrants the expectation of its readers and subscribers that it's columns will fairly discuss questions of public interest, l feel compelled to dissent from the manner in which the proposed purchase of the water works is being treated therein.
 It seeems to me that the question is not, as you insinuate in your editorial comments of Saturday, on par with proposition to es- tablish public department for the supply of ice, beer, milk, etc., etc. Neither is it 8 question whether the stockholders favor or oppose the sale of their property to the city. All such comments seem unworthy to come from such an intelligent source.
 The object, therefore, of this note is to respectfully ask as subscriber and reader of your paper and as citizen who believes in the full, free and unprejudiced discussion of every proposed public measure that you will aid and not embarrass through your col umns an open discussion of this important question, viz, Ought the city to own or control the water supply provided for it's cit- izens?

! met. After the Senate was called to order by
 the Secretary, MT. Bayard of Delaware pre- scented a resolution that the oath as Senator be administered to Mir. King by Senator Clay, and that he, MT. King, be elected Presi- dent pro teDapore. By unanimous consent
 this resolution was agreed to. Again, in De- cember, 1852, President Taylor being dsad and Mir. Fillmore having become President more than two years before, MT. King, Presi- dent pro tcnn. of the Senate and acting Vice.
 President, resigned, his letter of resignation being presented to the Senate on the 2oth. MT. Butler of South Carolina then suggested
 that the oath of office be administered to his
 colleague, MT. William F. de Saussure, by Senator John Davis of Massachusetts,. MT. Butler cited the King case as precedent. The
 resolution was agreed to, the oath was ad-
 ministered, and the Senate then went on to
 elect MT. Atchison as president pro tenn. Somebody in New York city has issued
 card which is to be found in many places of
 business. It reads as follows:
 The United States Government has fixed
 the following values on silver coins with holes in them: Dollars, sixty-five cents half dollars, thirty-five cents; quarter dollars
 fifteen cents dimes, five cents fves, four cents.
 These values are placed upon coins so punched with view to calling in and stop ping the unlawful practice of mutilating sil- yer money of the United States.
 The United States Treasurer has been asked about this card and replies that so far as the government is concerned it is fraudulent. Treasurer Gillian says that his office has no knowledge of any such values as are fixed by the card. The government, he says, always oeoucts for the abrasion of gold coins or diminished weight at the rate of between four and i've cents grain. AS to silver coin, | the Government gives the face value any time within twenty years after date of coin \ ing, and no deduction is made for natural I b rasion. The rule in the matter of per- forated coins is to deduct from their face I value the market price per ounce for silver, according to the loss in weight by cutting Il holes in the coin. The law provides a pen alty for the act of diminishing the weight of silver and gold coins of not more than $2,- 900. The language of the statute is, that ''every person who by any art, way or means, I defaces, mutilates, scales, or ightens the gold and silver coins shall be \ etc. |

A novel newspaper enterprise has just been started in Berlin under the name of the Duly Ratndsctau. It is called "a journal for non-politicians, and, at the same time, sup elementary to the political organs of every party" It is edited by the poet, Friedrich Bodenstedt, and the corps of contributors announced includes many of the most fa- nous writers of Germany. The idea upon which the Rundsc1sau is founded is that po- htlcal matters, even in uneventful times, mo- nopolize too much space in the newspapers. Therefore it is proposed, in the rule, to limit the politics of the day to comparatively small part of the space, to keep apart from political controversy, and leave religious questions untouched

Some of the Washington correspondents seem to think that there is some reason in the opinion that Mir. MacVeagh's successor in the Attorney Generals office will be the Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster, an eminent law yer of Pennsylvania. MT. Brewster favored the nomination of Grant at Chicago, and has for some time been on friendly terms with President Arthur. He has not figured much in politics. Several years ago he was can didate before the Legislature of Pennsyl- vania for United States Senator, but was beaten by Mir. Scott. He has high reputa- tion in his profession, and it is conceded that his selection for the Attorney Generalship would be an admirable one in respect of legal qualifications. It would probably also be acceptable to both factions of Republicans, or as acceptable as any nomination would be, owing to the fact that he has not been promi- nently identified with either The only political position he ever held was that of attorney general of Pennsylvania in Gov ernor Geary's administration.

A recent attempt by brigands to wreck and
 rob passenger and express train 67 miles from Madrid, Spain, was effectua1ly thwarted
 by speedy action on the part of officers aboard the train Fors distance of several yards in wild district in the Province of Toledo the brigands had torn up the rails, and the train WAS approaching the dangerous spot when the conductor saw the men and recog- nized them as outlaws. He promptly fired upon them, stopped the train, and the gendarmes on board started in pursuit. Within twenty-six hours three of the men, who were seven in number, were taken into custody. They proved to be escaped convicts. Last winter, in the same district, an attempt of 8 similar kind was made by much larger force. Many of the men were captured, several paid the penalty of their crime with their lives, and about 30 were sent to penal servitude. Mail trains in Spain are now provided with armed guards. Public money for deposit in the bank at Madrid was on board the train which recent ly escaped destruction.
