motion in the boat. We had gone a
quarter of mile up deep blue chan
mel leading to the west when the slight
est ripple was seen astern. The sculler
quietly dropped his oar, momentary
glimpse was had of pair of dark eyes
and sharp muzzle, when the pole was
raised and sent whirling far astern. AS
it struck the fish rose several feet in the
air, the pole slipped from its cap, and
with jerk and splash we were off,
stern first. There was danger of the
grains hauling out from so powerful a
fish, so plenty of line was given until
the fish was completely tired, condi-
ton not arrived at until the boat had
been towed at least half mile, and
only then after noble struggle was it
brought alongside and with much diff
Guilty taken aboard, where it was found
to measure five feet two inches. The
accuracy with which the grains are
thrown long distances is remarkable,
the webbing pole being clumsy instru-
ment in the hands of person unaccus-
toned to it.-COr. N Y EUenieg Post.

The Barracuda.

Probably the gamiest fish of the
Southern waters is the barracuda, and
the small ones about two feet long, that
are found in shoal water, form great
sport to him who has the requisite skill
to catch them. The barracuda is long
and pike-like, and has sharp teeth, and
though set down in one of the Govern
ment reports as poisonous, is, on the
contrary, one of the choicest fishes of
the reef, The large fishes, weighing
one hundred pounds, are caught by
trolling, but the true way to take the
barracuda is with the spear, and only
few amateurs can claim the honor The
writer's first experience was with Bill
King, noted fisherman of the reef.
The boat, small dingy, was provided
with pair of grains consisting of yell
low pine rod about eighteen feet long
that bent well when held; the spear or
grains was two-pronged, the barbs set
ting inward This and cord ten feet
Dong, with white rag attached, consti-
tuted the outfit. The sportsman slowly
sculled the boat along with his left
hand, holding the grains with the right,
the iron being attached to the pole by
a long line. The rag being thrown over
and the dingy propelled leisurely
against the sun, the method soon be-
came apparent. The rag attracted the
attention or curiosity of the fish, and
the sun was supposed to blind it to anv

Rev. w. A. Bartlett of Washington, and
pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, is with his wife spending some time
at the residence of his father-in-law, Mr.. w,
ID. Walcott, at New York Mills. We were
glad to see him, and to SEQ him looking SO
young and--if we may use the word-per-
manent after all the years that we have
known him. He is a very remarkable
preacher. At his beginning he was brilliant
and effective, and has continued to be 80, and
more and more so, in all his career down to
the present. His thought is strong and his
language graphic and terse. He is om-
phatically a mans minister, his congrega-
tions usually numbering larger percentage
of masculine sinners than those of any other
preacher in this country. In his congrega-
tion at Washington are many eminent per-
sons-and though the President is an Episco.
palian and attends regularly the services OF
that church, Mr. Bartlett's church may al
most be said to be the government church,
if that phrase does not sound too oddly. He
sees before him nearly every Sunday morning
four members of tho cabinet and FIVE justices
of the supreme court, and any number OF
lesser dignatares of the different degrees. He
is doing good work for them all, and is even
trying to do somewhat for Mr.. George @. Cor
ham, the leading editor at the capital. In q
few days he expects TO start on q journey on
the Northern Pacific railway.

took in the eight of diamonds. This
done, the fun began and the account
proceeds as follows:
Mr.. Scott said that his hand was
worth $1,000 and put that amount in
the pot.
My hand is worth $1,000" said Mr..
Tucker, in a tone whose nervousness
caused Mr.. Scott to think that per-
haps an attempt to bluff was in prog
reSS.
Five thousand more" Mr.. Scott
said.
Fifteen thousand more" Mr..
fucker retorted.
Mr.. SCOTS confidence in his queens
was undiminished, and he chuckled to
himself to think what a snap Tucker
had got himself into. There might
be some doubt about Mr.. fuckers
ability to pay if he lost, but it was
worth the risk.
Thirty thousand more" was the
net result of Mr.. Scott's brief self
consultation.
Mr.. Tucker paused, ran his eyes
over his hand to see whether it was
all right, and apparently went into a
mental computation of his bank ac-
count. Il CALL" he said, throwing an
l. 0. U. to balance the pot.
-Four queens" said Mr.. Scott,
spreading out the hand on the table
and making a move us though to rake
in the stakes.
Not so fast, if you please-a straight
fiuSh!" said Mr.. Tucker.
Mr.. SCOTS face fell and Mr.. Tucker
pocketed his winnings. over $4,000
in that hand.
Such is club life among the young
men of America who have inherited
great fortunes. Messrs. Scott and
Tucker now stand at the head of Jack
pot heroes.
