A sENATOR's FISH STORY.
The Remarkable Luck He had
on Recent PiscatOriaI Raids
Near McaIinnViIIe.
Nashville World. IL.


Senator NJ. d. Smallman, of Warren
county, is a genial man, with a heart
as large as the coal bill at the Water
Works, and as full OF fun as the moun>
tain streams of his native country are
Of the fnny tribe. The Senator has
been in the city for the past two days,
and last night, while two gentlemen
who had met by chance we're exchang.
ing the latest fishing yarns, the portly
form of Senator Smallman was seen
approaching.
Il had a curious experience some
time ago on Caney Fork" meditstive.
~ remarked the Senator, after the
usual greetings had been ex.
changed, and on being urged to tell
the story, related the following:
Five years ago | was crossing Oaney
Fork with jug OF buttermilk, when
the canoe careened and sent the Jug
into the water. 1t was lost, and after
trying to recover it in vain, | went
sadly on my way. And now for the
sequel of the story. A few weeks ago
| was fishing from a canoe in the same
place at which | had lost my Jug of
buttermilk, although that occurrence
had been about forgotten. Suddenly
my hook seemed to have been caught
in snag. | gave it several jerks, but
to no purpose, and finally concluded
to save as much OF my line az possible
| pulled it slowly in, when to nv
surprise it yielded. Anxiously await
ing to sec what ! had caught leaned
over tie side Of the canoe and saw at
the end OF my line an old gallon lug
which | recognized as the one | had
lost there several years ago. The
hook seemed to be fastened 10 some.
thing on the inside of the JUG, so / broke
the jug to see what it was. Would
you believe it, it was a five pound
trout, who had ventured inside when
a minnow and who, unable to leave
the jug, had grown to its then present
size inside the jug. The hook had on
tered the mouth of the jug and had
been promptly snapped at by the fish,
II seems an improbable story aud once
when ! told it in MoMinnville, Colos
Hel Morford solemnly remarked,
'Smallman, | believe that's a lie.
u had another funny experience
fishing not long ago" continued the
Senator; " heard toad frog was
good bait, SO | caught ona and stuck
my hook through the neck and threw
my nook into the water. | waited
patiently for bite, but after an hour
l constituted the story about frog bait
was a lie started to pull my line in
when to my surprise ! saw that frog
sitting on q rock near me, actually with
grin on his face, dow long he had
been there ! do not know, but | be-
lIeye 1t was about the whole time |
had been fishing"

THE VERY LATEST.
An Absurd story About Mrs.
Langtry and a NTessmaker.
Brooklyn Eagle.


The departure of Mrs. Langtry was
the signal for series of remarkable
stories that have been pent up in the
bosom Of story tellers for many
months. The utter absence of facts
is striking feature of most of the
stories about Mrs. Laugtry, and the
last one,an ingenious and clearly writ.
ten article about her Indebtedness to a
dressmaker, could scarcely be told
with any degree Of safety while she
was here. This story goes that Mrs.
Langtry consulted dressmaker on
Fifth avenue, who is very we'll known,
though by no means the best of her
kind, and had two oostumes made.
The result was a bill from the dress
maker for $500, 1t almost took Mrs.
Langtry's breath away, and she was
quite indignant. The charge was very
extortionate, and it was evident
that the dressmaker vas taking sd
vantage Of the Lily's noteriety and
wealth. Mrs. Lapgtry let the matter
alone until the last minute before She
sailed, 50 the story goes, and then
discovered that the dTessmaker had
declded to get an attachment on her
baggage, sent for Mr.. GobAardt and
told him she hadn't any change in her
pocket and asked him if he could

S2l 600, aad deposited the amount 10

Langtry then sent tho cheek by her
maid to the dTsssmakeF and departed
ia peace. This story will strike the
casual observer as beautifully ineeniy
Gus. Everybody knows that Rirs
Langtry brought over countless trunks
OF costumes, ana that she has bought
scarcely anything in America It l. to
20 hoped now that the famous English
woman will be allowed some respite
from the lnoessant notority that has
sgyF9audaa her since her arrival in
his country, There is no doubt that
Mr. Frederick Gebhardt will sink into
the obsourity in which no lived before
the Llly's arrival. He has played the
part of a fool all over the country, but
