FISHING.


 Now is the season in which great many people insist upon giving worm cold bath at the expense of a good deal of time and money. And there probably is not safer place for worm than the ponds and streams of Connecticut. Perhaps that is the reason why so many worms are annually deposited in these waters. We have seen worms dragged for miles through a Connecticut brook without suffering any more serious casualty than being drowned. We have known of their being suspended for hours in the lakes hereabouts without any more startling result, till we have almost come to accept Dr. Johnson's definition of fishing namely, that 1t consists of rod with a worm at one end and a fool at the other Dr. Johnson was a Photographer, and nat urally careful in the use of language. In speaking of the most important end of the rod he did not say with a fish at one end, etc. He was satisfied that he had substan- tially covered the case when he described that extremity of the apparatus as being or namented with worm. He did not seem to think it likely to have any other decoration. Indeed, his defirition implies that sfsherman's luck'' is not thing of our country or times, but rather that the piscatorial sportsman has not been renowned h any country or in any age for his good for tune. Yet in spite of this universal testimo- ny against it's good luck fishing still remains among the best patronized of outdoor sports, and bids fair to continue to be. Troutless brooks will be dragged to their fountain head, and fishless ponds will continue to be fshed we suppose until the worlds end. The req son is perhaps hard to find. Emerson en- deayored to account for it on profound phil osophical principles. He said the desire to hunt and fish was s'the remains of the rattle snake and the wolf in man" Even this lucid explanation does not make the mystery en- tirely clear. Whatever the rattlesnake and wolf may be in the hunting line, we have never understood that they were any ''great shakes" as fishermen. We try to explain it in another way. We know that men do not go a-ishing to catch fish. At least we have very often heard piscatorial sportsmen say so on their return from their excursions As even very uniformly bad luck does not prevent them from gong agaln we suppose they must mean what they say. We know that they some times go to the Adirondacks, Rangeley Lakes, etc. ostensibly to catch fish, but as in such cases their trout cost them from ten to fifty dollars pound, and as fish can be bought in New Haven at a very much lower figure, we are compelled to believe that fish is not the primary object.
 l. peaceful lakes is good thing, and if man can find no better excuse for either than giv- ing worm cold bath he is justified in taking that one. Besides, when one does have luck fishing is really good sport, and one day of real luck will furnish consolation for good many days of bad luck.

Won. derful quickness and dexterity are exhibited in every department of the process, but the whole is said to form one of the most dis gusting spectacles imaginable.

 Some of those who opposed the bill which provides for slight reduction of the tax on certain railroad property appear to be an- xious to have the Governor veto it. This anxiety is natural, but we can see no good reason why the Governor should be inau- enced by it. The passage of the bill was an act of justice though of tardy and incom- plete justice. The railroads have paid more than their fair share of the taxes of the State, the rate of taxation on their property having been steadily kept up to the point reached in ''war times" when the expenses of the State were very heavy. The bill pro vides for 8 reduction of the raso on bonds and floating indebtedness only and is thus cal cuIated to especially benefit the weaker and poorer roads, which need help the most. Moreover, the reduction will not materially lessen the revenues of the State. It is to be remembered, too, that this is measure in which the people are especially interested, for the tax really comes out of them.
 We publisha remarkable communication this morning from MT. R. W. Wright, form erly of this city, but now of West Cheshire in this State. It is remarkable as raising the
 first serious objection against the project of M. de Lesseps and the French Academy of Sciences for turning the Desert of Sahara in- to an inland sea This project has been mooted since 1877, and the scientific world has slept upon it since that time. We pub fish the article as one that is both novel and city, and his views on this subject, as on other scientific topics, need no defence at our hands. He visited our editorial rooms day before yesterday, stating to us that he dictated this communication on the 10th day of March last, and that it had been in the hands of adverse critics since. From what we know of the Mississippi levees and ere vases, of the Williamsburg disaster few years ago, and other broken loose reservoirs, his objections to M de Lesseps' plan seem to be reasonable.

ed. His profile is particularly fine. Hll
dress Ia neat and stylish, but in no wise
foppish. In manner both Mr.. Howells and
Mr.. Aldrich are extremely courteous, and
both OF them possess agenerous amount Of
the delightful quality the French call bon
homie.
Mr.. Howells is little under the me-
dium height and compacly built, with q
tendency to comfortably stoutness, as the
years alp by. He is now forty-stx. His
features are mobile, well rounded and close
shayen, with the exception OF the upper
lip, which Is adorned by heavy mustache,
vagiug on the gray. His thick hair, which
Is apt TO fall over bis broad, capacious fore
head in careless fashion, also reveals the
touches OF time. His eyes are keen, pene.
trating and humorous, and most expressive
in conversation. At such times one for
gets that tho face is, on the whole, o bit
heavy in It's mold.

come pretty poetry and lives at Lexington,

fresh and ruddy, giving her the appearance
Of one much younger that she really is.
Her incessant literary labor has subjected
her eyes to severe strain, producing at
times almost total blindness. She Is q very
fluent conyersationalist. She Is domestic,
however, as well as literary, and her jellies
and other dainties have acquired o local
renown.

flattery, be termed handsome type OF a
man, ofliberal frame, fine eyes and flowing
hair and heavy muatache, with a refined,
cultivated and liberal air. He Is about
thirty.fve years old. he has travelled the
world over, and is pleasantly chatty about

extent as to wear broad brimmed Texan
straw hat and open collar through the
rigors Of several New York winters. But
lately he has clipped his long light hair
and donned more conventional hats and
garbz, aud may now pass in crowd with

Popular Science for January
One OF the practices most theoretically
relied on in the higher class Of girls
schools is that Of the competition Of one
scholar with another. III some Of them
this competition is terrific. 1t extends to
every subject; it becomes so keen as 10 put
each girl who is in the foremost rank in a
fever heat of emulation before the exami-
nations. In some cases 1t overmasLers
every other feeling for the time being. No
doubt, from the schoolmaater's point oil
view, 1t is the very thing ne wants. In his
professional enthusiasm he aims at the
highest mental result. He is not profess
ionally interested in the health or the
special nervous constitution OF his girls; he
does not regard them As each one
medico-psycholo2ical entity and prob.
lem. / don't say this by way OF re.
proach. all good men try to attain the
highest result in their special departments.
The educator has no means OF knowing the
constitution and hereditary weakness OF
his girls-that the mother OF one died Of
consumption, that the father Of another
was insane, that neuralgia Is hereditary in
the family Of a third, that one hss been
nervous, another had commissions when a
baby, another his been threatened with
water in the head, etc. His own education
and training have not taught him TO notice
or know the meaning of narrow chests, or
great thinness, or STOPPING shoulders, or
very big heads, or quick, jerky movements,
or dilsted pupils, or want Of appetite, or
headaches, or irritability, or back.aches,
or dlsinclination to bodily exertion. But
all these things exist in abundance in
every big school, and the girls hsndi-
capped in that way are set into COM
petition with those who are strong
and free from risks. 1t is the most nervous,
excitable, and highly strung girls who
throw themselves into the school compe-
lition most keenly. And they, of course,
are Just the most liable to be injured by ii.
All good observers say the intensity Of feel
ing displayed by the girls competitions is
greater than among lads, and that there is
lar more apt to arse personal animus.
Girls don't takes beating 80 quietly as
boys. Their moral constitution, while in.
some ways stronger than that of boys, es-
pecially ut that age, suffers more from any
disturbing cause. Tue whole thing takes
greater hold Of them-is more real. !
