ironing.

In the sea there are three flyers that
really, from the extent of their flights,
deserve the name. Those of our read
ers who have been at sea, especially In
the South, may have seen the common
f1ying-fsh, with its blue-and-silver body
and lace-Iike, sheeny wings. From the
crest of blue wave they dart, singly
or in focks, futtering along, rising and
falling, turning In curves, and return
ing to the water with a splash-per-
haps to fall victim to some wathful
bonito Cor dolphin) that has been closely
following them beneath the water.
These privateers of the sea are their
greatest enemies, as they rise in the air
following them under water, and emerg-
ING Just in time to catch the luckless
flyers as they descend. The dolphins
will take great leaps of twenty or thirty
feet in following the poor fying,fsh,
which, Notwithstanding their long
wings and wonderful powers, often fall
victims to their tireless pursuers. They
frequently fly aboard vessels at night,
perhaps attracted by the lights, or, it
may be, caught up by the wind from the
crest of some curling wave, and carried
high In air against the sails.
The gurnard, though it has also long,
wing-like fins, presents otherwise a
Indifferent appearance. Its head
is inclosed in a bony armor, from which
project two sharp spines. Some of
these fish are of a rich pink color, while
others are mottled with red, yellow and
blue, and as they fly along over the
fo1Ie
their glittering scales, they seem to
glow with a golden luster. With such
hard heads, it Will not be surprising in
formation that they are dis8greeable
fellows to come in contact with; at
least, so thought a sailor who was
standing of dusk upon the quarterback
of a vessel, near one Of the West India
islands. Suddenly he found himself
lying upon his back, Knocked over by a
monster gurnard that, with a score of
others, had darted from the water, this
one striking the man fairly in the fore
head. The gurnards are also chased by
dolphins, and they are frequently seen
to rise In schools, to escape from the
larger fish, while lowering above them
are watchful gulls and man-of-war

jaws of their enemi es of the sea.
In company with these fying-fsh
may often be seen curious white bodies,
with long arms and black eyes. They
are fying-squids, members of the cut
fetish family, and the famous bait Of
the Newfoundland cod-fishermen. On
the banks they are often seen in vast
shoals, and during storms tons of them
are thrown upon the shore. When
darting from wave to wave, they re-
semble silvery arrows, often rising and
boarding ships In their headlong fight.
So valuable are they for bait, tha5 400
or 500 vessels at St. Pierre are engaged
in catching them by means of jiggers.
Many of the squid family leave the
water when pursued. Even the largest
of them, often 40 or so feet long,
have been seen to rise ten or fifteen
feet in the air, and sail away as if pro-
PEELED by some mysterious force, their
hideous arms dripping and glistening.
They are certainly the largest and
strangest of the flyers without wings

Charles s. Garfield and w. B. Moore who
expected to be called as witnesses. As the
papers were the original ones and as the
present was the proper time to submit
them in evidence, it was agreed that if
General Boynton should desire to obtain
them, copies could be procured from the
department hereafter.
w. h. Painter, journalist, was the

March let, at which the tariff bill was
discussed, said he had q conversation up.
on the tariff bill with Boynton before
the 9th of February. At that time the
tariff bill was on the speakers table and
he pointed ont the rule which would re-
quire him, if point of order we're made
to decide that the bill must go to the

Their conversation could not have

Washington special: The house has
spent some time considering bill to
reimburse Mrs. Lousia Boldly for losses
inflicted by the Modocs in 1872. After
the appropriation was cut down from
$3.50 to S5,4O0, the committee of the
whole agreed to it, but 1t was not acted
upon by the house. The favorable
action on it gives promise of the pas
sage of many of these. bills to indem-
Nifty pioneers for losses inflicted by the
nations wards, for whose acts, therefore,
it is claimed that the government is re-
sponsible. The payment of these
claims is also urged on the ground that
the losers can not sue the Indians, and
are therefore without redress unless the
government will do something. Bills
have been introduced at this session for
the payment of sixty-seven claims for
depredations by Indians. the amounts
aggregating $274,497. OF this, $l22,945 is
for depredations by the Kiowas and
Comanches in 1870 and 1872, $4,000 for
losses by the Navajos, and $4,000 for
losses by the Chiricahuas. The other
depredating tribes and the amounts of
the claims are: Apaches, S20,445;
Hualapais, $19,147; Nez Perces. $10,324;
Modocs, s9,697; Cheyennes and Arapa.

1882, $6,O24; Utes (Meeker massacre),
$4,23o: Osages, S2720; Mescaleros, $500;
the unnamed tribes, s6.027. One
Oregos claim is twenty years old.
The Shoshone claim dates back to 1861,
the Navaios claim to 1862, and the
Usage claim to 1866. Most Of these
claims have been investigated and
favorably reported by the Indian
bureau.
