IAN ALASKA FISH STORY.
The Yarn Told by skipper to San Fran
cisco Reporter.


cisco Reporter.
IN. Y. Star.l
The San Francisco Call OF recent date
has the following:
Captain James Carroll flor some years
past has been master Of the steamer Idaho,
plying between Portland and Alaska, aud
not mixing up much with the crowd Of skip
pers about Broadway dock, 1t was to be
expected that in drawing the long bow he
could not keep up with the others, but
since his return to this port he has made 1t
evident that his skill exceeds that OF his
rivals. Alaska has for many years been
spoken Of as most wonderful country
and Astounding in game, gold and scenery,
but according to Carrolps yarns the half
has never been told. Yesterday the sub
iect of fishing came up and the captains
story was that year or so ago he had as
passenger one Blair Howe or Howe Blair,
he knew not which, but the gentle.
man was the shorthand reporter Of
the House Of Representatives at Washing
ton, Coming down Takon Harbor south
east gale was encountered and the steamer
was compelled TO come to an anchor.
While waiting for the storm to abate, the
shorthand man became restless and con-
cluded to 20 fishing. The Captain sent him
ashore in small boat, manned by four
men and an officer, and the party in short
time were in q small creek, about hall
mile distant. An exclamation from the
lookout in q few minutes attracted Car
rolls attention, and with his glass he dis
covered that something was wrong with
the fishing party. All six OF the men with
their rubber boots were in the water up
over their knees and cutting up very pc
culiar antics. Apparently they were kick
ing at something, and Carroll thought q
sea serpent had got between them and the
shore and they were trying to drive II
away. Every now and then man would &c
down into the water and his companions
would rescue him. Pretty soon all hands
were ashore, and when the boat returned
half hour later II was completely filled
with large salmon, and from the short
hand man he learned that In the creek
were millions OF salmon going up and
down the current, and the fishing poles
taken along were Of no use, so that all the
men got In the water and kicked the sal
mon ashore. II they had had rakes OF
pitchforks, enough Of the finny tribe to al
the steamer could have been taken within
few hours"
CThe gentleman referred to In the above
paragraph is Mr.. VIM. Blair Lord, well
known in this city, who says that the
Captains story, while not entirely &C
curate in detail, is substantially true al
to the number OF salmon in the stream
Mr.. Lord tell us that instead of boa
load, some thirty odd salmon were takei
in the manner stated, and by the use OF
hastily improvised and poorly made gan.

An extraordinary cat-story is told by
the Worcester Gazette. What it illus
trates, we don't exactly know. It may
show the cats obedience to habit, or its
respect for superior strength. Perhaps,
as the Gazette suggests, it may exhibit
cats pity and generosity, though the
chronic feline selfshness makes this
last supposition doubtful:
A householder is the possessor of two
Thomas cats, the elder of which has
never shown anything but self sh,
grasping disposition, while the young
er is the possessor of generous, hap
Ply spirit.
At meal time the elder of these two
feline brothers has an unpleasant habit of
forcing his junior to sit at second table,
in fact showing selfish and catty dis
position.
His greediness often excited the in
dignation of members of the family,
and when, one day, the daughter Of the
house went to feed them, she took
Master Selfishness by the nape of his
neck, and intimated to him that he
should wait a few minutes, until the
other had had his dinner.
The younger astonished at the sud-
den turn affairs had taken, gazed as if
paralyzed at the feast thus spread be-
fore him. His astonishment, however,
speedily gave place to pity; he could
not appreciate the justice of this I'M
usual division of food.
Frasping in his jaws the largest
piece of liver on the plate, he fastened
to deposit it beneath the nose of his
captive brother, who made short work
of it, while the Samaritan betook him
self to the remainder of the food.

Electric Ii9hts.

There are two kinds Of electric lights,
wholly different in principle, in bril-
liancy, in appearance and in the mode
of use. A writer in one of the daily
papers, explaining the difference to an
inquiring correspondent, writes:
The Distinguishing difference, to an
ordinary observer, between and incan-
descent electric lights may, think, be
briefly stated thus: Arc lights burn in
the open air, with carbon sticks or PEN
ellis, the very points or ends Of which are
heated to white heat and gradually
consumed. Such are our street lights.
Incandescent lights, on the CONTRA
are produced inside small glass globes
of various shapes, from which the air
has been exhausted. These lights are
caused by the passage Of electricity
through q fine resisting wire or thread
Casually bent for convenience into the
form Of horse-shoe), which is thereby
raised into white or incandescent heat.
without being consumed, on account Of
the absence Of air. II the air leaks in.
the filament immediately burns up, and
"that il the end ont.
The term faro" is an old one. adopted
years ago, referring to the supposed
shape Of an electric spark in passing
from one carbon point to the other.

From the Pittsburgh Times.
II lost my first case to miserable
little pettifogging lawyer named Johnny
Wood. said Gen. Sharpe at Chicago
during the convention to group of
Arthur men, who had lost interest in
the proceedings and were gathered in
his room for the comfort of being to-
gether. II was graduate of Harvard
Law School, and had good deal of con-
ceit, besides a perfectly good case.
When my senior warned me that l
would have to meet Johnny Wood /
laughed at him. The suit was before a
justice of the peace. He made out our
case, and Woods client, the plaintiff,
made out mono worth speaking of at all.
When Johnny Wood arose to speak he
rehearsed the evidence impair tally, and
then, taking up book read the law
such law as I had never heard of, but
which fitted his case to nicely. When
he got through I said, "Mr. Wood, will
you allow me to see that statute,
plcase?"
Certainly, sir he replied, handing
the book closed.
All, thank you; but what is it on ?"
"What page?" he cried indignant.
Don't expect me to coach you, young
man. Find your own law, you. I
found mine.
"Of course, / couldn't find it, but
Johnny had the laugh and the court
with him, and lost my case, according
to law which that scoundrel Wood had
made up ont Of his head just as he had
spun II out"

Fruit and the Cholera.
Gardeners Chronicle Nondon).

Gardeners Chronicle LOndon).
It is to be feared that the report in
dustriously circulated that the cholera
at Toulon originated with the free eat
ing on the part of some of the popula-
ton Of unripe apricots, may lead to
fanatical cutlery against the eating of
fruit in any form during the present
season. There is no proof that unripe
fruit had any connection with the chol-
era outbreak at Toulon, and it does not
seem certain whether the disease preva-
lent is of the dread Asiatic form, OF is
of the sporadic order Fruit growers
will do well to send to market only ripe
fruit, and that which is in perfectly
sound state. It is not, however, SO
much from the growers that any danger
of that kind will arise. It is rather
from dealers who are not too careful as
to the places in which they store their
unsold fruit, or to the condition in which
it may be. However, fruit is perhaps
less injurious, if at all, when sound than
many other articles of food, and rightly
used may help to promote the public
health rather than bring it to any dan
ger.

ROBBING THE MAILS.
Almost Impossible to Escape Detection
Waahinutcra Pnat

Almost Impossible to Escape Detection.
Washington Post
Glow often does letter robber es-
cape?" asked reporter of the Post of
a postofice detective yesterday.
"That depends" was the answer.
eff postal clerk, for instance, makes
a practice of rifing letters he is sure to
be caught-there is nothing surer.
Your periodical thief is the one who
may evade apprehension for some time.
He may make big haul to-day and
then stop for month or SO. Suspicion
may rest upon him and he is Swallowed.
No evidence can be found against him,
and finally the inspectors are called off
to work up new cases.
After every thing has quieted down
the thief may make another haul, and
may keep the thing up for some time
before he is caught.
A postoffice inspector, who recently
returned from a Southern city, where
he has been investigating the theft of
$500 from letter in postoffice, told
Post reporter yesterday that he soon
became convinced that this theft was
committed by one of two females in the
office. He employed the decoy-letter
method of detection. One of these fe-
males is lady of high order of intellig-
ence, whose father left her $40, 900, to
which she has added some So, 1000 since.
Something told him that she was the
guilty party, and one day when he was
alone with her he said "Miss-, you
know that theft has been committed
in this office. Now you will excuse
me for saying that it was committed
in this room, where only you and
another lady are employed. Of
course you, as perfectly honest
woman, will have no objection to
showing me what you have on your
person-the contents of your pockets"
"Why, certainly not" was the reply,
and the lady at once showed him what
her pockets contained, but the contents
did not include money. "Have you no
money about your" he asked. II have
some in the pocket of my sacque, which
hangs in closet in the next room.
1 will get it." "Oh, no. replied the in
spector, "you want to be completely
vindicated. Let me examine the sacque,
which he did, finding it the identical
bills and the identical coins which he
had marked and put in the decoy let
ter. The thief then confessed that since
her father had left her $40, 900 she had
become seized with an uncomfortable
passion for adding to that sum, and that
she had been rifling letters occasionally
ever since. The case will probably be
! compromised by her dismissal and the
restitution of the stolen money.

Who, In Masculine Attire, Turned Farm'
From the Nashville American.
A wealthy farmer in Rutherford coun-
ty not long since was applied to by a
good-looking lad for work, the boy say
ing he preferred to drive harvester or
wagon or do other light work about
the farm. The applicant looked SO deli
cate that the farmer refused the request,
but gave the lad the name OF farmer
in an adjoining county, who wanted a
boy to milk COWS. The situation was
sought and the lad taken on trial. The
two farmers met few days since, in
Nashville, and got to talking about the
lad. Said the employer of the boy
"He is the best mixer I ever saw, and
can get more milk from the cows than
anyone I ever had before him. He at
tends strictly to business and suits me
first rate, but I'm afraid he is going to
create a sensation yet"
Being pressed by his friend, the
farmer was compelled to admit that his
wife had discovered, through the merest
accident, that the supposed boy he had
employed to milk the COWS was q wom-
an. "When found it out I told my
wife the girl would have to go, as it
would never do to have our neighbors
know we had woman parading around
the farm in top boots. My wife told me
she didn't think anybody else would ever
find it out, and it was worth while tax
ing the chances on it, and the lad suited
us so WELL I liked George and took
my wife's advice, and I think she will
be able to stay with us and wear mems
clothes as long as she wants to.
"She lived up in Indiana and had not
heard about Middle Tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
ing wheat and it would bear it up, it
was so thick and strong; so she deter
mined to come down here and get work
on farm, where she could get work in
the open air nearly all the year round.
It was then that she determined to
carry out long cherished plan, that Of
assuming the garb of man, which ad-
ded much to her independence in seek
ing situation. And you ought to see
her-my mixer. She's dandy, I can
tell you. She weighs about l4O pounds,
is large for woman, being about five
feet eight. Her hair is black, and she
parts it on the side and wears it very
short. She has large feet and hands,
and wears kid boots two sizes too long
for her. She has round face and a
roguish twinkle in her large black
eyes, and her coarse shirt is always
kept buttoned close around her well
shaped neck.
When I tell you she wears wide
brimmed, coarse straw hat on the back
of her head, and tight-ftting green
jeans pants thrust loosely in the top of
her coarse boots, always has kind word
and a joke for everybody and is very
much liked by my wife, I leave you
nothing to add to the picture"
