ITALY'S KING.
How He Carried Himself in the Presence of
Danger at Isehia. ---

Danger Isehia.
Naples lAtter.
As the King was expected on Wednesday
morning, having travelled from Monza i'm
Iaediately on hearing of the disaster, l re-
manned on the island to witness his arrival,
or rather, 1 remained off the island, being
accommodated at night on board the iron
clad Terrible, which had just cast anchor
there. The scene when his Majesty landed
at in the morning was most touching He
would not have any guards or police near
him to keep the people at distance, and the
crowd Immediately surrounded him, thank
ing and blessing HIM; some tried to embrace
his knees, and the women stretched out
their arms to him, crying and sobbing and
calling on his name as if they thought his
very presence must bring immediate relief.
The progress through the ruined town was
attended with both difficulty and danger
but the King insisted on seeing all, saying:
Where Others can go, l can go. In the
presence of disaster we are all equal" He
was deadly pale, and the only time l OBJ
served momentary color rise to his face
was when some of the generals and ministers
around him began recommending, in his
hearing, that no further advance should be
made on account of the danger from the fall
ing walls, when he turned sharp around and
said, Commando TO-" q alone give orders.)
In the same way he dropped from his hand
the disinfectants which were offered him at
certain points where the stencil from the nu-
merous corpses beneath the ruins was most
terrible. He was the only man in the group
who seemed so absorbed in pity and compass
sion as to have no thought OF possible danger
to himself

soIon Chase Loses One of .srhem steers. -

IeWIBtOn IMe.l JOuTndI.
Probably there is no part OF the world so
benighted that it has not heard of them
steers" Any phrase which is bad grammar
is sure to have run vastly in excess OF
Murray's orthodoxy. Indeed, some people
think that only the dude can be forgiven for
declining to indulge in solecisms. 1t has
been fondly hoped that the decline and fall
of greeubackism would not affect them
steers" but we have special advices from
Chase's Mills that one of the pair lies dead.
Chase's Mills is in mourning, and from
every side men and women come to observe
the death and burial of the played-out tom
foolery of 'them steers" We are sorry for
Uncle Solon's personal loss, and will gladly
head a subscription to buy BIN another
steer, it, in the name of good politics and re-
spectacle grammar, he won't call it them
steers" Put on your cowhide boots, Uncle
Scion, and come down.

A Charleston, Is. CD street car driver

but long needed rebuke. He complains
that lady passengers consume too much
time in parting with their friends before
entering a car; that they stand gabbling
at door step until car goes past. and
then run after it, half block in the rear,
shaking their parasols at the conductor
and producing general excitement on the
street; that when the chr stops, they
cease to hurry, and keep it waiting SC
long that rude masculine passengers
swear. He delicately alludes to lady
passengers as "fair freight" and apollo
gizes for making any complaint at all.
He confesses that he respects the ladies
very much, and admirers an occasional
touch of passion and sentiment" 80 faI
as he is personally concerned, he does not
object to seeing the ladies kiss the ruby
lips of their beautiful friends" bat he
thinks they should not thoughtlessly sub
ject him to "'the imprecations of coarse
passengers who are impatient at delay.

Fish culture will doubtless soon open
an entirely new field for the farmer
From the facility with which German carp
and some other varieties of food fishes
may be cultivated, it is evident that so far
as the mere necessities of life are con-
cerned the problem may be very much
simplifed in the near future. 1t does not
follow that every farmer can make money
by raising fish for sale. If every farm
had its fish pond the price would quickly
drop so that there would be little profit in
sending carp to market. perhaps, but the
farmer could always have the fish for his
own table, and great stock of. cheap,
wholesome food would be added to the
worlds supply. Carp grow fast, are
hardy, will live in almost any kind of a
pond, and require very little care. Choice
varieties of game fish are more expensive
to raise and reqnire careful attention with
an outlay of considerable capital in fitting
up the ponds and breeding grounds. Some
kinds of native fish. however, are as easy
to raise as carp. In the sonth the speckled
catfish is an example. 1t will live and
thrive in almost any mud bottomed pond,
and it grows very rapidly. The second
year after Matching the fish are quite siza-
BILE, and are better for the table than when
larger. Nearly every state now has its
fish commission, and the measures for
spreading the practice of fish culture and
distributing the eggs and young fish are
yearly becoming more and more perfect.

Burlington Gazette: 1t looks very
queer that the government should agree
to take from "Boss" Hesing, of Chicago,
So, 700 in satisfaction of the judgment of
$4,000 it has against him for whisky
frauds. And still queerer that it should
do so, after being offered by gentleman
of Chicago $4,000 for the assignment of
the Judgment to him. He said he could
find enough of Hesing's property to reim-
burse him, and considerable more. But
Hesing belongs to the grand old party,
and in former days was as high in its
counsels as he was deep in his frauds
against the public treasury. That may be
the reason why the "powers that be-
found it more business like to take from
him $2,7 for $4,000 than $4,000 for
$40, 900 from some one else.
