The Pike county smSll boy knows
that if he brings in a nice mess of trout
before any one else has had good luck
on any of the streams, he is of as much
Importance as a circus procession, and
that the chief end of man in the place,
for the time being, is to find out where
he caught them. A specimen of him
visited the Crossman House, Milford.
He had basket of trout that set every
one crazy. Some New York fisher
men were stopping at the hotel, and
the landlord was anxious to find out
for their benefit where the trout had
been captured. Hence his query as
above, and the extremely satisfactory
response of the boy.
"Do you want to sell 'em ?" asked
the landlord.

not it would be a good stroke of bust

Finally, he said:

The following is one of the best of
the many good suggestions given to
the public by the Germantown TeIe-
graph. We call the attention of the
Directors of the Delaware State Fair to
the idea; competitive horse -shoeing
should be included in the premium list
of agricultural fairs, inasmuch as all
must know how many animals are in
jured--sOmetimes permanently crippled
by untaught, ignorant or unskillful
shOcrs, who treat the hoof of horse
with as much rOughness and reckless
ness as they do a plough-share. 1t
recommends that good, round pre-
miums be placed in the list of the
awards for horse-shoeing for the
most rapid shoers, as this has little or
nothing to do with the aim-but for
the skillfulness, neatness, lightness and
solidity of the work; and that the
committee be selected, not from black
smiths or professional shOers, but from
experienced horsemen.

Renan, always q student of the Jews
and Judaism, insists that the term
" Jew" is very much further from be-
ing racial distinction than most per.
sons imagine. Pr,selytism was so ex-
tensive in earlier times that large per
centage of the present European Jews
are not of Hebrew blood. He accounts
for the Jewish type of face by saying
that similarity of belief and life full
of restraints have generated a type,
and he uphOlds his theory by instanc-
ing the case of the Syriac-speaking
villagers north of Damascus who have
been converted to Mohammedanism
and who exactly resemble the Moham-
medans of a different race among
whom they dwell, but differ profoundly
from the bulk of Christian Syrians to
whom they are nearly allied by race.
Herein Falstaff's phrase {" an Ebrew
Jew," finds justification.

For years it has been the habit of the
?, w. 4 B, Railroad to demand de-
posit of $500 or more from each Qom-
mission merchant at the beginning of
berry season to insure the freights on
fruits that may be received by such
merchants. Last year there were over
200 such depositing merchants with
this road. Some of these merchants
have complained of the loss thus sus-
tanned in the tying up of capital for
four months without interest and have
found q clever method to avoid com.
plete loss by buying Government bonds
for such deposits. Milford Chronicle

SMELLING PEAS.

I'm no longer young and fair,
And the gray within my hair
With my anxious brow of care
Well agrees;
And memory holds her sway,
As sit alone to-day,
Doing work that seems like play
Shelling peas.
How the shining pods of green,
With their emeralds set between,
Bear me back to sweet sixteen,
And its 10y;
When beneath Penobscot pines
We stripped well the fruitful vines,
10 be offered at home shrines,
Girls and boys.
And well remember, too,
When q bashful swain did WOO,
That he seemed as lovers do,
Ill at ease,
Till dear mother with q smile,
And manner void of guile,
Set us both to work the while
Shelling peas.
Then our busy hands became
More acquainted, and the shame
Turned to something else in name
What you please
While the tender pods they popped"
And the pretty peas they hoped,
Till the last came, and we stopped
Shelling peas.
Then mother would declare
That she heard a sound somewhere
On the earth, or in the air.
Like kiss;
When, demure as he could be,
John would say, and look at me:
Twas the popping of a pea,
Oaly this"
That was years and years ago,
When the days brought not woe
To my rosy life below;
Full of ease.
Aye! memory holds her sway
AS | sit alone to-day.
Doing work that seems like play
Shelling peas.

The Brooklyn bridge people have
been rather late in adopting Il precau-
ton against accidents, which we are
surprised should have been overlooked
at the outset, Up to the time of the
terrible accident on the bridge, last
week killing II people, foot passengers
were allowed to pass both ways on the
same footway. This had much to do
with bringing about the accident.
Now the going and coming passengers
occupy separate footways and the
danger Of accidents is greatly lessened.

The desire of some of the people of
Washington Territory to change its
name to Tahoma or Tacoma, the In
dian appellation for one of its lofty
mountains, is natural one. Tahoma,
though to some ears it may be as sono-
rous as Oregon, or as attractive as
Idaho, is good enough, and the identi-
ty of name between Washington the
Territory and Washington the national
capital, not to speak of minor towns,
must lead to mistakes in mailing and
in other matters of business.

swindled out Of the little wages they earn by
those who employ them. With such prac-
tees linging in the ears of the metropolitan
merchants and manufacturers who employ
women, legislation came to the front and en-
rolled the following model law among its
statutes 1t will chiefly serve to satisfy the
world Of the wrongs it will not cure. One

MORE LABOR ABUSES.

We cannot but think that if the temporal
life really rounded into death as its finality, as
many in the face Of Christianity believe or APP
prehend, women would lack the patience and
endurance which characterizes them in pow
erty, peril and affection. The cigar workers
are not single in their hardships. In the City
Of New York are $4,000 women and girls
who obtain life Of starvation by means of
hard labor; who enjoy nothing, ask for moth
ing, hope for nothing living on with nothing
to live for in this world, and sustained, be-
yond all doubt, by some underlined interior
conviction that there will be something to live
for in the world to come. Putting aside the
evidences of all faith, and the doctrines Of
every creed, it seems to us that the practical
exercise Of womanly fortitude, as shown the
world over in all situations and under all con-
ditions, convey unmistakable assurances that
there is something beyond it which is to have
the quality Of recompense, or the higher
properly Of reward.

ONE Of Louisiana's solid institutions in the
past was her old Bank Of Louisiana, of New
Orleans. At the conquest ofthe city, by Fara-
gut, her vaults were full of specie, of which
they we're hastily denuded. Over $4,000, 900
were sent to Montgomery, Alabama, and
from that point parcelled to various banks Of
the Confederate States. Suit is now about TO
be brought against the Government in the
Court of Claims for the recovery of these de-
posts.
IT is said that the British legation are some
what disconnected at learning that P. !.
Sheridan, whom it seeks to extradite, has d.
S. Walker, Esq, the brother-in-law Of the
Attorney General, for his counsel. It is not
an improvident whine that cheapens the i'm.
portance OF its demand for extradition by so
bald caprice as the relation, personal or
political, of counsel? What difference can it
make to the British legation or to Great
Britain, whether Mr.. Walker is a relative of
the AttorneY-General or not? He probably
attends TO his own business, and if he does
not, SO much the worse for Mr.. Sheridan.
