A Wonderful Fish Pond.

Travelling men tell an extraordinary
story of a fish pond on the land of Hon.
George W. Hurt, six miles from Albany,
Clinton county, Ky. The pond covers
three or four acres, and was not known
to contain fish until a year or two ago,
when it was accidentally discovered to
be swarming with catfish from four to
eight inches long. They say that the
fish are so numerous and so unsuspect-
ing that they may be taken without the
use OF hook and line You may tie a
piece of mutton or chicken to a string.
lower it into the water, and draw it out
Immediately with several fish clinging
to 1t. This may be repeated rs often
as desired, and few minutes are suffi-
Gent to secure as many fish as you
want. One man, prompted by curiosi
ty, stuck his finger down into the water;
it was at once seized by fish, which he
promptly drew up and took off, but the
bite drew blood from his finger, and he
does not recommend this method of tax
ing them. Mr.. Charles M. Phillips, of
Spurlington, having some doubt as to
the truth of these stories, wrote to Hon
George W. Hurt with regard to them,
and received an answer TO the effect
that they were substantially true Mr..
Hurt does not allow strangers to fish in
the pond. The fish have been regularly
leo since their presence was discovered.

All through the interior of the coun-

journeys in prodigiously short time.
To cite case that illustrates both the
custom of gift sending and the manner

for shortcuts, was forty miles across a

spoils is not the chief. end of man. To
begin with. Gen. Butler is not built of
presidential material He has ability,
Maehiavelian shTewdness and a talent for
affairs : but what affairs He is
proud after fashion Of his peculiar reputa-
ton, and his strongest political capital is the
fact that many people dislike him. Then,
too, he could not carry a southern state for
president, nominated by both the great par
ties, with an Endorsement from the green
back gang thrown in for good measure. The
Democrats of the east, west and north would
reject him; theRepublicans have no use for him
and there is practically no Observation-Disclosures
organization with arms open to receive him.
There is legend that a very dlsagreeable
parsonage, with a talent for rendering every
enc uncomfortable, finally died and Went to
his reward. Reporting at headquarters, he
gave his name when the presiding officer
quickly handed him key of birthstone and
box of matches, telling him to go off some
where and start fire OF his own. Perhaps
this legend will furnish a solution to
the Butler problem, at the same
time answering The Globe-DemocIat's
query "What viii they do with him." The
voice OF a majority of the people OF HASA
chusets, speaking through the ballot box, in
dicates that he is favorite son, in whom
they are well pleased. Let them keep him
Massachusetts, wanted to be a world unto her
self, and if it suits the circle of cul-
ture to be ruled by him there seems no
agonizing demand from the outside bar
barians that she should be deprived of that
pleasure Besides, both, the matches and thu
keg of birthstone may be saved, as the re-
ports from Tewksbury aims house indicate
the hopelessness of an attempt to set up a
rival institution to the one below with any
prospect of added success to that al
ready achieved in the Bay state.
No. we will not have Benjamin
to be our president. 1t would be unkind to
him and to Massachusetts,, to say nothing Of
the defenseiess populace of the entire country
to deprive him of the pleasure of learning just
on what date some one of the festive medicai
students of his beloved commonwealth had
a dead negroes skin tanned and presented it
to his sweetheart to make her favorite minis

Comment of the B0st1n Press on fbs
Butter Harvard Mattes---A New
Work View

Comment of the Boston Press on fbs
Butter Harvard MatteS---A New
Work View.
BoSToN, June THE following are ex-
tracts from the comments OF the city press
upon the refusal of the Harvard overseers to
confer the degree1 of LID. on Ben Butler:
The Herald says '"The college has the
training of young men, and it holds up to
them as models men of ancient and modern
times whose aims have been high and pure.
Is Gov. Butler such a man? Has he any
quality except one which he shares with
certain nameless personage-industry-- be
commended to the youngs We do not
see any political character whatever
in this vote of the board of oveiseers.
We see no reason to blame the overseers of
Harvard college, but every reason to praise
them They have ventured to break an old
custom when to follow it would have incurred
falseho5d"
The journal says that the peculiar unftness
of the present governor in himself considered
without regard TO his office, for receiving this
tribute to learning and character, made it fit
ting that the real significance of the degree
should be emphasized by withholding it,
The Advertiser suspects that an attempt
will be made to create sympathy for Che
governor as having been sighted, and that it
will be asserted that the college has set itself
up above the wisdom of the people
The Post, the organ of the anti Butler dem
ocrats, Says simply this; President Eliot
was in favor of comforting the degree of
LII upon Gov Butler, and so voted This
was in the line of his usual sagacity when
question is at issue involving the best inter
.ests Of the institution over which he so ably
presides, and we certainly rate his Judgment
in this matter much higher than that Of the
fourteen overseers who voted against him.
The Transcript, which has all along advo-
Gated giving the degree because it was custom
airy, says: THE r7asens operating on the
p1inds of those who lied gainst granting
the degree are obvious They are
tickly stTewn through the whole
public career of Cen Butler and
have been made especially promi-
nent by his arrogance and bnffoonery since
he became governor The overseers undoubt-
edly acted as they thought best for the inter
ests of the college and its influence as an edu-
