THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT
determination ofSalmon.

The destruction of fish seems to be
going on in terrible way, both in
Oregon and at Lake Tahoe, in Nevada,
as the following two items will show :
The first item notes that gentleman
who came down from the Cascades
lately, states that one of the fish wheels
there caught 400 salmon in twenty
four hours. The fish appear to be
running in vast numbers, as he saw
man with n dip.net catch seventy
eight at the head of an eddy in less
than an hour. He caught three at
one scoop. The fish, in making q
passage of the cataract, are compelled
to keep close to the shore, and so are
readily captured The second item,
from the Reno New Gazette, states
"that l,2OO pounds of Tahoe trout
were shipped below by exoress one
night. Of this amount II. ID. Burton
caught 400 pounds. For the past two
weeks an average of 1000 pounds
have been shipped through Wells, Far
90 & Cos express at this place daily.
There is little credit in catching trout
at Lake Tahoe at present. Women
and babes and sucklings are catching
their strings of from forty to eighty
trout in the space of from one to three
hours"

An Exceedingly Greedy Cow

Hon. Harrison Baily, of Kentucky,
owns COW which is highly valued.
A few nights ago she got into corn.
field and filed herself so full of the
proyender there that she was unable to
rise when she laid down, and nothing
short of her death was expected until
a neighbor came along and undertook
to relieve her by plugging a butcher
knife into her flank just in front of
the hip bone. This failed to have the
desired effect, and another neighbor
proposed to enlarge the hole made by
the knife and remove the food. To
this the owner would not consent until
convinced that she would die any way,
and then the experiment was tried, and
fully six bushels of undigested corn,
cornstalks and grass, in state of fer
mentation, were removed from her
paunch. The opening was then closed
and in a very short time the animal
was on her feet and as contentedly
chewing her cud as if nothing unusual
had happened, and is to-day as well as
any other COW on the place.

What goes with the Farm.


Mr.. H. A. Haigh, of the Detroit bar,
gives the following valuable informa
ton in the Anaericao 4 1grjcuIt1riSt
for December:
"When farm is bought or sold, d,ques.
tons often arise as to what goes with
it, and disputes may often be avoided
if farmers know just what their farm
deeds include. In brief, where no re-
servatons are made in the deed, the
conveyance includes the land, the build
ings upon it, and all such chattels or
articles as have become so attached or
fixed to the soil or to the buildings, as
to become what is known in law as
fixtures.
"What constitutes fixture depends
largely on the intention of the owner in
putting it there,and also upon the man
ner in which it is affixed. Anything so
fixed to the soil or the buildings that it
cannot be removed without injury,
nearly always goes with the farm ana
anything of a permant nature, fitted
for permanent use, and annexed thereto
by the owner with that intention,
generally goes with the land, though il
might be severed without any injury,
as the following examples will illus
trate: All fences upon the farm go
with it, but not fencing materials, as
rails, etc, if bought elsewhere and pill
ed upon the farm, and not yet built
into a fence; they have never yet been
annexed But rails cut from timber
standing on the farm and piled up for
future use, go with it their original
annexation is not severed by being
changed from standing trees to rails.
If, however, they were cut with the in
tention of using them elsewhere than
OH the farm, they would then be per-
sonal property, and would not pass.
The bare intention in the mind of the
owner in this instance makes the differ
ence between real estate and personal
property. Hop poles, if they have
been once used upon the farm, are re-
garded as a part of it, though at the
time of sale they are stored away for
future use. Loose scatfold-poles, how
ever, laid across the beams of a barn,
have been held not to be part of the
realty. Standing trees, of course, are
part of the farm; so are trees cut or
blown down, if left where they fall,
but not if corded up for sale; the
wood has then become personal prop
erty.

John 7. Raymond's Jury.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT ON TIE TEXAS
CIRCUIT WHICH EVEN RAYMOND
CoULDNT T RESIST.

The members of John Il. Raymond's
jury in "Colonel Sellers" are sometimes
a peculiar lot, and their impanneling is
as odd as their appearance at times.
1t is the duty of the property-man to
secure the necessary number to decide
the fate of Laura Ua,chins for her
shooting of Colonel Shelby. To do
this he is obliged to skirmish about for
those who will lend dignity to the oc-
casion, but he is not always successful
Sometimes after being secured they
will prove recreant to their trust and
skip out after seeing the performance
up to the end of the fourth act. AS
this has been practiced number of
times, "Props' hit upon the idea of
seizlng their hats and holding them
until the termination of the play, thus
securing the jury, Ed. Kidder was
telling the other evening of jury they
had in one of the town of the Texas
circuit, At the beginning of the fifth
act the district attorney commences his
address to the jury. In one of his most
touching perorations he was suddenly
interrupted by a tall, gaunt and excited
juryman, who rose in his seat, shook
his finger at the court official and
shouted out with voice that trembled
with emotion and bug-juice, "Yes she
did shoot him, and she treated him
right was down in them front seats
and saw it myself" The whirlwind OF
laughter that broke from actors aud
audience tore the remainder of the per
formance to tatters, and even Ray
mond's indignation was not proc
against it.-Csncianatj Esqwirer

Respect for the Aged,

How !'eautiful in the young is re-
spect to the aged How, more than
beautiful one little act of dutifuness
looked to me, and doubtless so to all
other beholders, as two young girl, or
ladies rather in every sense of the word,
assisted their aged grandparent along
the street to the church. Nor did their
attentions cease until she had gained
her seat. The dear old lady could thus
improve the favorable opportunity to
hear again the preaching of Gods word
so precious to her soul, perhaps think
ing all the while it may be the last
time she will be so blessed, or e'er the
veil will be removed and she will see
the Master face to face. | could not
but think her lot was cast in a pleasant
place, and it was plain that those oc
cupying the middle ground had faith
fully fulfilled the trust reposed in or as
sumed by themselves thus imbuing
the mind of youth, from early child
hood, with the thought and feeling
that love and respect were due the
aged. May be rewarded in kind.
There are comparatively few who
will live to become octogenarians, and
if any one of us does live to that ad-
vanced age may we be so cherished.
How many. or how few of the old peo-
pile but are soon set to one side, left to
their own solitude, seeming to learn be
times that if they will only keep to
their solitude those younger than they
are well suited. Their tottering steps
are too slow for the PAGES of youth.
But this one aged Mother of Israel,
oh it does ones heart good to witness
the kindness shown her. And will
not those young souls be richly reward
ed, both in this life, and that which is
TO come For is it not the grace of
God aboundlng in their hearts that ac-
tuates them, and would they not be
kindly considerale for others where no
kindred tie exists. And the spirit that
pervades them will be leading them on
to obey Gods behests in all the walks
of life.
We know that one duty well done
is but the stepping stone to another
and another, until, life's duties all fin.
ished we will hear the Master say,
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servants, enter into the joys of thy
Lord" And let us remember
''That God has marked each sorrowing day,
And numbered each secret tear;
And Heavens long years of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here"

Faith Cures.

AT the meeting of Baptist ministers
in New York city the Rev. Dr. g. W.
Sampson read paper on miracles and
cures by faith. He told a story of a
woman who was treated by DR.. Ham
mond. The woman believed she could
be cured by the application Of Lourdes
water. DR.. Hammond told her he
would apply Croton, and if that did
not help her he would apply Lourdes.
He applied Lourdes, but she, supposing
it to be Croten, refused to be cured.
Dr. Hammond then tried Croton, and
the woman, believing it to be Lourdes,
was healed. In his report of the meet
ing and the subject under discussion,
the New York Times gives the follow
ing:
"The Rev. DIR, Charles Rhodes said
God was as capable of working mira
cles at this time as in scriptural times,
but He was always chary of them
He related the wonders performed by a
certain physician who once visited
New York, The doctor went into the
room of bedridden woman and bade
her arise and walk She did So The
Rev ID. 9. Potter, the moderator, said
he knew of wonderful case. Instead
of some ordering the woman out OF the
house fire was applied and the effect
was the same. The Rev. j. G.. Shrive,
of Yonkers, told of a young woman in
that city whose sight was restored by
putting drops of oil on her eyes and
praying, The Rev. DIR, Thomas said
miracles were not confined to maryels
in healing. a young woman who be
lieved in faith hired house in Brook
lyn at $3.50 year, but she had nc
money to pay the rent DIR. Thomas
saw the first months rent was paid, anC
the young woman tried to induce thu
agent to have faith for the remainde
of his pay. A young woman in New
Haven was cured by a doctor in Bos
ton, DIR, Thomas questioned he
rather sharply, and her reply made hin
a little cautious She said the creates
obstacle to her cure by faith was tn
ministers. DIR, Sampson spoke of
woman Ill with typhoid fever, who wa
not expected to live. Prayers wer
sent up for her and she recovered. Dl
Kerfoot, of Baltimore, told of sicI
brother who was prayed for and tn
remark of person who suggested tha
it was no wonder he got well when 81!

Mr.. Smiths machine obviates a
serious difficulty. In India the
entire stalk is placed in water. If
the stem is thick, the fibre at the
top is thin and delicate, while that
at the foot is coarse and dense.
AS the water has access Only 10
the outside of the stalk, the thick
er bark and more compact fibre at
the bottom prevent a uniformity
of retting. Before the fibre at the
butt has been sufficiently dissolv-
ed, the fibre at the top has become
worthless from over-retting. But
Mr.. Smiths machine, by stripping
away the woody part of the stalk
and freely admitting the water to
both sides of the fibre, insures a
comparative equality of retting
and prevents a material loss of
fibre.

Show me up to his roOm,r said
Stephen, and up he was shown ae-
cOrdingiy.
HObbling up stairs with much
difficulty, cursing alternately as he
went the govt which caused the
pain and the captain who was the
cause of his having to hobble with
equal vehemence, he at last reach
ed Capt. Wilson's room, his feet
cased in moeeasins and his hand
grasping a stick. Capt. Wilson
rose to receive him, wondering all
the time who his lame visitor
could be, but his mind on that
point was soon relieved.
Are you Capt. Wilson, said
the stranger.
"That is my name,r replied the
Captain.
"Ihen, sir, my name is Stephen

smiling;" shall consider what
you have said quite sufficient, and
shall act accordingly. You shall

In due time there came a mes
sage from Capt. Wilson to Stephen

were arranged; and early one
morning n boat left New York in
which were seated face to face
Stephen Price, the Captain and
two friends. They all landed at

took their positions, and Captain

The Captains body was inferred
