Spider Fishermen of Maryland Waters.

One OF the most interesting sights we saw
on the whole trip was the seines and the man.
ner of catching fish on the Wicomico. With
us the fishermen always procure n couple of
poles and tie one to each end of their nets
and stick them in the desired place in the
evening and let them remain till the next
morning. But on the Wicomico they used no
poles, but let their nets drift with the current
Each seine is watched by n man, who looks
so lazy and careless that one would think it
makes him miserable to move, but all the
while he keeps his eyes on the seine corks or
floats, and when the motion and disturbance
of these indicate the presence of shad he be-
comes all life and activity in q moment and
seldom misses his fish. The whole method
of these fishermen with their seines puts one
to comparing them to large spider watching
his web, the actions of which they arc Ger.

Some Facts About AlligatOrs as they
We're in the Good Old DAYS.

The passenger, who was going down the
big river for the first time in his life, secured
permission to climb up beside the pilot, a
grim old grayback who never told n lie in
his life
"Many alligators in the river?" inquired
the stranger, after a look around.
Not so many now, since they got TO

the reply.
Used to be lots, eh?"

passenger, as he heaved a sigh.

swim out and rub their tails agin the boat

smilew
"They would?"
"Solcmn truth, stranger! And once when
we grounded on bar, with an opposition

There was painful pause, and after q
while the pilot continued:
"Our ingines gin out once, and crowd of
alligators took tow line and hauled us for
ty-tve miles up stream to Vicksburg"
"They did?'
"And when the news got along the river
that Capt. Tom was dead, every alligator on
the river daubed his left ear with mud as
badge of monrnin, and lots of 'em pinned and
died"
The passenger left the pilot house with the
remark that he didn't doubt the statement,
and the old man gave the wheel turn, and
replied:
