THE FISH Law.

Winchester Home Journal
Among the many bills which have
already been introduced in the pre-
sent legislature is one to repeal the
fish law. We have mislaid the pa
per in which we saw it, but we guess
it was introduced by some one who
lives far away from any stream in
which fish disport. Certes, they
will soon disport in no stream if our
law makers do not, instead ofrepeal-
ing the present law, look well to its
rigid enforcement Lax as this has
been, we already see how wonder
fully the fish have. increased in our
streams during the past two years,
thereby affording not only pleasure
to the angler, but a luxury for his
table. And who are the anglers !?
Here and there man of leisure, but
generally poor men. Yet some fool
$50 far as piscatorial matters are
concerned writes a communication
lately, to Nashville paper; advocat-
inc the repeal of the law because
(as he says it is law to help the
rich. Now, the Home Journal has
ever favored a fish law, and the
main point of our argument for it,
was that it would be law to help
the poor. A hard working man
mechanic who has to "put in " SO
many hours each day, has little time
to go a-fishing. He may {" get off
on Saturday evenings, or other day.
He needs little recreation, little
pleasure. If all our mechanics and
working men had more pleasure we
would hear less talk communism.
And the poor laborer is able to buy
a hook or two, a line and pole.
He has some recreation, and under
the operation ola stringent fish law
he will be able to catch a "mest' for
himself and family Repeal the law
and what will be the eject =? Why,
sirs lot OF fellows who are able to
use every day in the week as holt
day, and have the money, will buy
big seines and go when the fish are
spawning, and destroy in one excur-
sion of this kind enough little fish,
or spawn if allowed to grow to make
the hearts of thousands of working
men sad.
Hence the Home Journal is for a
stronger fish law. We invite every
poor man to remember to cast his
vote against any man who is unwill-
ing to leave our streams unmolested
by any artitice except ordinary ang-
ling. The men with seines. and
gigs, and all contrivances for whole
sale destruction fish in our streams
have no right to go and Utilize such
public property to their selfish de-
sires and revelry than they have to
90 to the court house in Winchester
and take possession Of it fora dance.
We want our honest representative,
Mr.. Larkin, to vote against any
of the penalties that go
with our present fish law, but, ifl
passible, go for stronger law and
its positive enforcement. Public
property ought not to be converted
into "ways and means for the graft
fication of the careless desire of the |
rich and idle. The fish law is for
the benefit ofthe poor, and we would |
be glad to see every man indited |
who violates it in any of its provis-
ions, either by SEEMING, giging, trap |
ping, or otherwise And then very |
soon a poor man who is able to buy |
a hook and line can have now and |
then little pleasure and get his
family mess of fish.

AFTER MANY YEARS SEPAPA-
TON.
Chicax1 Special

Chicayo Special
The village of Englewood has
been this week the scene OF a roman
tic reunion of two brothers who had
not seen each other for upwards of
twenty years, and to one 0fthe pair,
at least, the occasion was a particu-
larly joyful one. Some weeks ago
a tramp applied at the residence of
III l.. Prentis, on Sixth street, for
food and a nights lodging. Mr..
Prentis gave him food, of which he
ravenously partook, and permitted
him to sleep in his shed. The tramp
disappeared finally, but one day this
week he presented himself to Mr..
Prentis, dressed in the height of
fashion, his smoothly combed locks
surmounted by a glossy hat of the
best make and a gold chain dangling
from a vest in the pocket of which
there licked merrily a $500 gold
watch. Nearly wild with Joy, he
informed his benefactor that the
Gay previous he had by accident
met IN Englewood a brother whom
he had mourned as dead for twenty
years, but who instead had been
buried in the wilds Of Montana,
where he bad amassed a snug for
tune of 100000, and that tho Mon
tana brother had declared his in
tention to share this comfortable
competency with the tramp brother,
provided he would accompany him
back to Montana. The tramp bro
ther bid Mr.. Prentis good-by, kick
ed his threadbare rags and his hard
lot contingent into the alley, and
with his generous brother went out
into the new world of prosperity.

that be would never comply with

nected with them has just been re-
vealed in the Divorce Court. "Spes

of the Royal Artillery, and the wo-
man TO whom his advertisements
were addressed was his wife, the

twenty-six, and three children were
born of the union. He was wound

two years ago, and returned to
England, where he lived with his
family until last July. On the Sd
of that month Mrs. White left her
fathers house, where she had been
visiting. telegraphing her husband
that she would be home in a few
days. The telegraph was followed
by q letter, in which she told her
husband that she had left him for
good and did not intend to return;
that for the previous eighteen
months she bad been only a nurse
to. him and had resolved not to lead
such life any longer; that for years
she had not been happy with him,
and only her mother and children
had kept her with him; that she
had given him proof enough TO
enable him to get a divorce, which
she implored him to proceed for
without delay, as six months must

Astonishing the Tourists.

N"'N'" -ip'td.
\ lot of Boston tourists were travel
ing in a sleeping car, also a Nevada
traveller. In the morning when the
porter went around to collect his assess.
ment on boot backing there was a
great commOtion among the Boston
tourists. Some paid him q five-cent
nickel, and those who had no nickels
were compelled to yield up short bits.
All the while the Nevada man, dressed
in ordinary clothes, sat reading his
newspaper. When the porter reached
him he looked up inquiringly.
"Did you black my boots, sir?'
ayes, sah."
"NOu did an excellent job; never had
my boots blackened 50 we'll before on
this line. Here's three dollars"
When the porter pOcketed the money
the Boston people loOkedup astonished,
and presently it was rumOred about that
John Mackey was aboard or EnOch
StrOther was out on a campaigning trip.
In few minutes the Nevada man and
the porter met by chance in the smok-
ing room.
"When does my sleeper ticket run
out""
"EOur time was up, sab, at Ogden,
but if you wants to ride to Reno, boss,
it is all right, sab"
The traveller gave the darkey drink
out of black bottle, and the porter
winked continuously for nine seconds
as he drank the travellers health.
Six dollars saved. Economy IS the
road 10 wealth.
