sin fact said the Canadian, resting on his
oars and throwing out the muskalonge spoon
as we came to a spot supposed to be enc of
their lurking places, 'the fshin' amt quite
what it ulster be. Do you know" he said,
breaking off suddenly, "a Teller by the name
Of Seth Greenf'
The writer confessed TO having met him.
well, II he's about my size I'd like to give
him IA wrastle jist once, He's one Of these
ere experimenters, they say. A few years
ago he planted a lot of shad eggs in the lake
and now the waters so loaded with these 'ere
Seth Green shad that the fish git 50 much to
eat'that it's hard to git 'em to take a bait"
Whether this was so or not the writer did
not learn, but he caught several Of the fish
that Tpsembled three-inch shad, and in the
entrance to the Lake Of the isles, at the
present writing, they are as thick MS they
can lie, at shutdown keeping the water in a
continual boil and undoubtedly form rare
food for the game fish They are known all
along the river as the Seth Green shad, and
the natives claim that they have only APP
peared since the venerable fish culturist
made his alleged plant in the lake. 1t Is
more probable that they are visitors from
the sea, and perhaps Seth will explain for
the benefit Of some of the disguised fisher
men.
There's suthin' mighty queer about them
Seth Green shad, +" continued the guide, as we
drifted along among the rocky islands Last
year they took u spell dying, and up the
lake they washed ashore by the million and
made such u time that the farmers had to
come down and cart EN- off in teams. After
a gale they'd be piled up along shore three
foot high and in one place they lay SO thick
ON the water that they'd almost stop a canoe,
Even now youll find 'em along shore, jest as

JunIus Brutus Booth,s Power-John

,Junius Brutus Booth was the delight OF
the Washington play1goers in the jackson
and Van Buren, administrations, and his
wonderful representations OF Richard Ill,
lago, King Lear. OthelIo, Shylock. and Sir
Giles Overreach were as grand ashis private
life was Incorporate and eccentric. He waa
a short, dumpy man, with features resem-
bling those OF the Romnn EMPEROR, before
his nose was broken in a quarrel. and his de
pertinent on tho stage was imperially
grand. He had a farm In Mary
land, and at oDs time he under
took to supply a Washington hotel with egg,
milk and chickens, but he soon gave 1t up. The
traditions that ave come down TO US OF this
great artist represent him as one whose In
slant and tremendous concentration OF
passion in his delinsations overwhelmed his
! audience and wrought it into such enthusiasm
that 1t partook OF the fever of inspiration
surging through his own veins. He was not
hacking in the power to comprehend and
portray with marvellous delcacy and ex-
quisitely the subtitle shades OF character that
Shakespeare loved to paint, and his imper-
sonations were a delight to the refined scholar
as well as the unclltivated backwoodsmen
who crowded TO his performances
Booth is buried at Greenmount cemetery,
near Baltimore, and in the center of his lott Is
a pedestal Of rough-hewn granite, sur
mounted by a marble column. On one side
Of the column Is n bas-relief portrait of Junius
Brutus Booth, surrounded by a laurel wreath.
Beneath are the following lines:
Behold the spot where Junius lies;

j. M. Fuller, the level-headed clerk
of Montculm county, has sent tile fol
lowing circular to all the supervisors

We print it so that il shall include the

should be read and pondered 10y all.
" Gentlemen: The undersigned,
trusting that you will not deem 1t al

careful consideration of the duties de-
volved upon you 10y the law, found on
pages 1900 and 1901 of the annotated
statutes, requiring You to fnrnish lists
of persons TO serve as jurors in the
circuit court for the year ensuing.
Pouring contempt upon the verdict OF
juries and jury system is SO common
that it is greatly TO be feared that
faith in the fair administration of
Justice, by civil courts, is rapidly b.
ing destroyed. The legitimate fruit
age of this will be the weakening of
private vengeance AMI unreasoning
brutal mobs. IL is as sure to occur in
Michigan as in Cincinnati. is it the
fault of the system or of its admins
tration? The writer believes it to be
the latter. Please carefully read the
law. and then send me the names of
such men, and of such only, TO whose
judgmedt you are wiling TO commit
you dearest interests, your light TO
liberty, your good name and rights of
property. If you do that, the juries
aud 1h.ir verdict in Montcnlin comfy
will protect all int rests and reflect
honor upon the integrity aud intelli-

Solemn Words to Kentuckians.

Again we say, as 80 often we have
said in these columns, that from the
sin of blood outlines no citizen of
this common wealth is free. We do
not deal with crimes as we ought. We
tolerate murder and pardon vice and
honor criminals il they are brave.
Physical prowess is the only virtue
that appeals TO us. We are passionate
unreasonable, unrestrained. lawless.
Society protects no man either by its
recognized rules Of law or by that pub
lie sentiment Which gives strength
and variety To all written laws. I'm
til we change all this; until murder is
punished: until We educate men TO
look to the law for protection and
vindication; until the law does whar
it pretends To do; what it il instituted
for. we should cease our boasting, and
no longer content ourselves with traits
and achievements which equally dis
tinguish the barbarous and half-civi.

1t is a curious thing that no mans

it Is in questionable way. The Mar

they supposed il was making enormous
profits on Government contracts, OBJ
