A SHARK CAUGHT BY A CLAM.

Among the discoveries recently made In
the great Dead Sea of the West were some
gigantic oyster shells more than six feet
long, each pair of which once contained an
animal that the average boy could not lift.
To-day the only really large shellfsh is of
the clam family. It ia named TridaenG
sfgas, contemporary tells us, and is found
in the Pacific Ocean, the length of his lfc
being sixty or seventy years. 1t grows en-
bedded in the coral, and is fastened to the
rocks by a cord called the byssus, which is
so tough that it can be cut only with an axe.
The shells themselves are six feet long, saacE
valve weighing more than 250 pounds, while
the animal part often weighs thirty or forty
pounds When alive the tridaena lies with
its great valves ajar, capturing any food
that may pass within its scalloped edges A
shark was once caught in this way. Swim
ming along in search of food, he unwarily
passed in the door of the great CLAIMS house,
his tail rudely striking the animal. Like o
flash the tremendous jaws snapped together,
squeezing the man-eater as if he were in 3
wise, and rendering him utterly powerless.
As the tide went down the sharks head APP
peared above water, dashing about and
churning up the sea. The hubbub attracted
the attention Of some natives, who soon cap
tured both shark and clam.

A CONSCIENTIOUS CONSTABLE.


In the classic language of the hoodlum, II
is never safe TO "pole fun at peelern es-
pecially where the esprit dc corps is SO
strongly developed as in the wilds of Michi-
gan. circus pitched its tent at Marquette
the other day and tho natives welcomed it
with grimy hands to a hospitable shower of
halves and quarters. Everything went SWIM
mingly until, in the act whore q circusman
disguised as drunken tramp, falls into the
ring and wants to ride horse. The ring
master threw the drunkard out, and with
much seeming indignation asked why there
were no policemen around to keep order
A German policeman who was standing by,
and who knew the man belonged to the cir
Gus, felt indignant at having the police
abused, so he colared the alleged drunken
man, and notwithstanding the circus people
tried to explain the circumstances, he was
hustled off to the lookup and the act was
left out. After the show, the proprietor went
to the jail, got the performer out, and gave
the policeman a securing for being too offici-
Gus. The policeman listened quietly for q
while and finally remarked: "voll, a choke
was choke, but ven a man gay we're ish de
bolice, and Wy don't dey arrest dot drunk
man, den de Marquette bolice is in dot vicin-
ity, and don'd you forget it, Mr.. Circus, !
bed you"

THE AUSTRALIAN HoopLilM.

The Pacific coast is not the only locality
cursed by the presence of the genus hood
lum. A correspondent Of the Chicago
Times, describing scenes in the antipodes,
aflirms that one Of the most prominent fea-
lures of Australian life is the position which
the larrikin holds in the social makeup.
"What the heodlum is to San Francisco the
larrikin is to tue larger of the Australian
cities He is an unwashed, profane, foul
young man, who gets his living as he can,
aud wars upon society at large To be sure,
when backed up by enough of his fellows,
he does now and then kick some unofend-
ing passer-by to death, and he thinks moth
ing of managing Chinaman or two on his
way home or before breakfast in the morn
ing; but as rule he contents himself with
insulting ladies and quiet men, stealing,
yelling, and punching more or less ser
iousiy any decent person whom chance
throws in his way. His favorite stamping
ground is the gallery Of the theatre. This
is large and very dirty loft, admission to
which costs but 3d.. and consequently It is
always full Here the larrikins collect in
crowds and hoot stamp, and shout to their
hearts content Sometimes they vary the
monotony of a long wait by expectorating
upon the unsuspecting innocents In the pit
beneath them, usually selecting the bald
headed gentlemen as their especial tar

SOME WITTY REPLIES.

Even clergymen cannot always hope to
meet with the courtesy that draws the line
at sharp rejoinders. sIf you can't keep
awake" said Parson to one of his hearers,
"when you feel drowsy, why don't you take
a pinch of snuff 2" II think" was the
shrewd reply, the snuff should be put into
the sermon" Some years ago, we are told,
the Isle Of Sheppey being an inconsiderable
parish, and the income not very large, tho
Vicar came there but once month. The
parshiouers being much displeasod at this
desired their clerk, who was that year Church
Warden also, 10 demonstrate with him MS TO
his negligence. The clerk told the Vicar
the wishes of the parishioncrs, and the re-
ply WINS: well, well tell them II they
give me E10 year more, will come to see
them once "A fortnight, and be sure TO let me
know their answer the next time ! come"
The next time he did come he accordingly
asked, and the clerk answered " Sir, they
say as how il you will excuse them fl0 a
year in their tithes they will dispense with
your coming at ALL" Members of tho cloth
are not always above severely criticising one
another's failings. II is related Of that most
eloquent of English clereymen, Robert Hall,
that he once--disgusted by the egotism and
conceit of preacher who, with mixture of
self complacency and impudence, challenged
his admiration of sermon--was provoked
to say "Yes, there was one very fine pas
sage of your discourse, Sir" 81 am re-
joiced to hear you say so; which was it p
"why. Sir, it was the passage from the pull
pit to the vestry."

THE BEST TEACHERS.

Tie best teachers are tile aged. To the
old our mouths are always partly closed we
must swallow our obvious retorts and listen.
They sit above our heads, on life's raised
dais, and appeal at once to our respect and
pity. A favor of the old school, touch of
something different in their manner-which
Ia frcer and rounder, il they come of what is
called good family, and often more timid
and precise if they are of the middle class
serves, in these days, to accentuate the diff
ference of age and add distinction to gray
hairs But their superiority is founded more
deeply than by outward marks or gestures
They are before us Ia the march of man
they have more or less solved the irking
problem; they have battled through the
equinox of life; in good and evil they have
held their course and now, without open
shame, they near the crown and harbor. 1t
may be we have been struck with one of
fortunes darts we can scarce be civil, so
cruelty is our spirit tossed. Yet, long before
we were 30 much as thought upon, the like
calamity befell the old man or woman that
now, with pleasant humor, rallies us upon
our inattention, sitting composed in the holy
evening Of mans life, in the clear shining
after rain. We grow ashamed of our dis
tresses, new and hot and coarse, like villain
Gus roadside brandy; we see life in aerial
perspective, under the heavens Of faith, and
out Of the worst, at the mere presence of
contented age, look forward and take pa
tence. Fear shrinks before them !" like a
thing reproved,n not the fitting and inef-
fectuAls fear of death, but the instant, dwell
ing terror Of the responsibilities and re-
venges of life. Their speech, indeed, is
timid; they report lions in the path; they
counsel a meticulous footing; but their
serene, married faces are more eloquent and
tell another story. Where they have gone,
we will 90 also, not very greatly fearing
what they have endured unbroken, we also,
God helping Us, will make shift to bear.

THE DREARY DOG POUND.

often think as I wander around New
York, observes the Hermit Of the Troy
Times, how little is known of its curious
hooks and by.places, of which one only hears
by an occasionally paragraph. There is, for
instance, the deserted market, foot OF East
Sixteenth street, and its entire precincts,
which has so lonely look compared with
the general activity of the City. Close by
is the dog pound, a long wooden structure
one story high, and apparently neglected by
all but the dog catcher and his victims. On
entrance found myself IN large but shah
by Office, where dull-looking clerk sat at
the desk, his duty being to receive dogs and
pay the prescribed fee. He said business
was slack; but I had already inferred this
from his listless, stupid countenance, and he
added that sit didn't pay to catch dogs at
thirty cents" Noticing heap of stale
bread on the floor, ] asked its use. "That's
what VS. feed the dorgs on. was the reply.
Rather hard feed" was my irrepressibls
remark "Well," said he, latter dorg
has been here two days he'll eat anything.
Go in and take look at EN-" he added,
pointing TO door, which opened and
stepped into long apartment with alleys
running ito full length, ong either side Of
which were kennels, each containing a dog
fastened by a cord They're drowndin'
on 'em now outside" said the attendant,
pointing to door, and passing out I saw
two men emptying a huge iron crate which
they had just landed on the dock. 1t was a
dreary scene-no life, no activity, nothing
but the two men pitching out the dead
animals, which are thence sent to Barren
Island and rendered into fertilizing material

A LUCKY STEAMSHIP LINE.


"Mr. Guion has made marvellous run OF
luck in getting out the arizona and Ads
ka," writes the Buffalo E1press correspond
ent. Ellis line was confessedly running out,
when big ship-building firm, which was
doing nothing at the time, affairs being very
dull and prices of material very low, offered
to build him passenger ship guaranteed to
be faster than any in existence, and likewise
guaranteed to carry certain amount OF
freight, at price and on terms never offered
before. They did this to keep hold of their
men till better times should come. The Will
liams & Guion Line proper, which has stock
holders on both sides Of the water, discour-
aged by the dull times and the loss OF two OF
their boats within comparatively brief Pc
Rod, declined the offer, whereupon Mr.. Gui-
ON is credited with saying at the meeting
called to consider the proposition, We'll,
then, III buy her myself, and the line shall
charter and run her as theirs This was
done Soon the Arizona was the pride of
the harbor Then the same shipyard and
company built the Aiasha, whose perfor
mances, rs your readers know have eclipsed
everything on record, and now the Guion
Line is altogether the fayorite and its for
tunes bloom and blossom" Hfs
