The cows, hogs and poultry may profit

A'hc North Carolina style Of Scoop.
ing the Roanoke.

As the herring fisheries of Maine are
credited with only l7,O0O,00O this year,
against 80, 100000 last year, so these great
North Carolina fisheries are a compare
tive "failnrc" also. The reasons are not
far to find. Continued rains have fresh
cned the whole of Albemare Sound, and
at the same time muddicd the Roanoke
in particular until it would nearly choke
a yellow cat fish. wonder the anadro-
nous fish have gone North or spawned in
the open sound. Still the Copeharts say
that without apparent reason every few
years the catch is immense and then
slacks off for several years, only to come
again. Against maximum hauls of two
and three hundred thousand some years
ago ten thousand is rare this season.
The sencs are piled upon two smal II flat
deckcd steamboats,, each pile being the
size of small house, and carried out into
the sound for about a mile, from a steam
engine and six-mule windlass respectively,
quarter Of mile apart on the beach.
Thus great bag is formed, sweeping

proper being 2,4sO yards long by nine

Apropos to the Harvard College sn,

-Apropos to the Harvard College snub
to Ben Butler the following story is re-
called: Some years ago, when Butler
was practising law In Boston, he was en-
gagged in an important criminal case. A
Harvard professor was brought in to tes-
tify as an expert in behalf of the prosecu-
ton. Butler, as usual, handled the wit
ness with considerable severity. Finally,
the prosecution interposed and appealed
to the court to protect the witness from
the unrelenting picador with the defective
eye. "This Witness" he said, "may it
please Your Honor, is a gentleman and q
scholar. He is professor in Harvard
College" Oh, yes" responded the ma
licions Butler, with twinkle in his evil
orb of vision, eve hung one of them fel-
lows the other dayr' alluding to Dr.
Webster, the slayer of Parkman. Har-
ward is at last avenged. "Tme at last

1t too late to try again unless you have
commenced soon. The same will happen
