Judicial Decision-Ftshing Rights
 Questions-The Sound Declared to be
 Arm of the Ocean.
 By acts of the Legislatures of New York and Connecticut the waters of Long Island Sound are divided between the two States for the purpose of determining fishing rights and possible questions of jurisdiction. Judge Nelson of the United States Court, in suit brought against the Providence Steamboat company by survivor of the Narragansett steamer, has rendered decision, which, If sustained, VI i'll invalidate that part of the boundary agreement relating to the Sound. The judge declares that Long Island Sound 1 is part of the Atlantic ocean, and it's navi- gation is not governed by the provisions of the act regulating inland waters. Should \ this decision be sustained, neither New York | or Connecticut could exercise proprietary ! rights in the Sound fisheries.
 1 The fish commissioners are naturally much l interested in this decision and are waiting l with interest for the full text of the judicial l decision. The idea is entertained that the l decision will not be sustained It is not
 thought by lawyers here that such con.
 struction will be placed on the decision as \ will take the Sound fisheries out of State ju
 risdiction in the face of the fact that the ! States have so long exercised this jurisdiction l unquestioned.

Two Girls Save Seven Lives.

On Friday evening seven young men,
who live several miles down the Ottawa
River, started to skate to Gatineau
Point for the purpose Of attending a
special service, which was being held in
the church at that place, for young men.
When they arrived opposite Kettle
Island they happened to strike a piece
of bad ice, and five of the party fell
through. The other two did the best
they could to rescue their comrades,
but, after they had got several of them
out, the ice on which they were stand
ing gave way, and they themselves got
into the water. Two Misses O'Neil,
daughters of Superintendent O'Neil, of
the Dominion Police, witnessed the ac-
cident from their house on Kettle
Island, and, with great presence of mind
these two young ladies ran for their
fathers boat, which they pushed across
the ice until they came to the broken
spot, when they launched it, and sue
ceeded in rescuing the young men who
were in the water. They were not a
moment too soon, for one of the young
men was utterly exhausted, and was
taken out of the water senseless.-

A Reception at the Home of the japanese
.. Minister. g..

Last night the Japanese Minister gave
one of his unique entertainments. Mr..
Yoshida has been in Washington since
December, 1874. He is a finely edu-
Gated gentleman, with many accomplish
ments, and the courtly manners of a
European aristocrat who has habitually
associated with the most refined and
polished society of the world. His wife
was bride when he first brought her to
Washington. She was shy, did not
speak any language but her own, and
wore flowing garments, according to, the
custom of her native land. Five chill
dren have been born to Mr.. and Madame
Yoshida since their arrival in this coun-
try, and yet with the cares of maternity
the Madame has studied English, and
speaks the language sufficiently to en-
able her to dispense hospitality most
agreeably. Very soon after her arrival
here at her husband S request she visited
a French modiste, and was fitted out a
la mode. Her husband considered the
change necessary to protect her from
rude stares and impertinent remarks.
We conceited Anglo-Saxons consider
ourselves so superior to the Oriental ma
tons that we either patronize or de-
spise them as interiors. They have
known and forgotten more things
than we with our boasted civilization
have yet acquired. Mr.. and Mad
anne Yoshida were revisiting Japan
when General Grant was there.
The only one of their children
not born here made his advent
at that time, and is named Grant. The
children are all bright and interesting;
the youngest is less than two months old.
Madame Yoshida, assisted by Miss
Aida, the daughter of Mr.. Justice Mill
er, received with her husband last night
The Japanese Government has pur-
chased the residence occupied by the
Yoshidas for permanent legation. The
house is roomy and furnished richly; the
walls are covered with paintings. Some
of the paintings are by Japanese artists
and some by Europeans and Americans.
Several are painted by Mr. Yoshida him
self, and cvince both taste and talent
Superb vases filed with roses and flow
ers were artistically disposed about the
parlors, dining and cloak-rooms. The
table covers, screens, bed-spreads and
pillows were of satin, covered with rich
embroidery. On the supper-table were
many edibles in the shape of curios.
Among these was Japanese tree filled
with birds. When bird was taken
from the tree the head was pulled off
and the wings torn from the body,
when all the feathers came off, and
there was hot, juicily-cooked quail or
tolan or snipe. In confectionery there
were Chinese pagodas and other forms
of ices. Washington Cor. Louisville

THE DEAREST MOTHER.

When the stars begin to twinkle
And the darkness slowly falls,
When the warm glow of the freight
Plays with shadows on the walls,
Iclimb into my mothers lap,
Put my arms about her tight
And we sit and talk together
Till Amanda brings the light. n
She tells me pretty stories
OF what happened long ago;
She sings her old songs for me
In voice so sweet and low.
She's the very dearest mother
In all the world, know;
And she only holds me closer
When hug and tell her so.
