A-FISHLN0.

DDwn by . brooket's messy brink,
Whose fair face mfrTofed q bit Of sky:
The thirsty leaves stopped low to drink,
As the singing waters went ripping BY.
And idling near, In q quiet nook,
Where Kitty and l sat fishing for trout,
We watched the wooing of leaf and brook,
EN b light of q golden day went out.
Twas q beautiful picture of sweet contentu
Ehe brook could do nothing but sing and
smile!
The indolent shadows came and went,
And the leaves kept whispering all the while.
So we left them happily wooing there.
For we were so busy with-bait and hook,
And the slippery fish ~ that we hoped to
snare,
Pray, how could we list to the leaves and
brook?
With Der beautiful face so close to mine,
pout;
Whist wonder that dropping hook and line,
Ihshed for Kitty instead of trout2
And how did it happen? perhaps she caught,
An inspiration from leaf and brook;
But all in a moment e'er l thought,
was captured for life by her pitiless hook
And she held me her slave till the sunsets
glow
Had tinted her beautiful face I'M hair;
0br the winds and the sunbeams love her 60,
They leave their tenderest kisses therel
So the light of the golden day went out,
Leaving loves blessing on brook and tree,
/ had fished for, and captured, q silver trout,
While Kitty, poor Kitty, caught nothing but
me.

A Mania. for Chateaux,

Arsene Houssaye has a mania for
building chateaux. He has now seven
at Bcaujon, and is building an eighth.
The seven were named respectively the
houses of YOUTH ''Love," ''Knowl-
edge, "''Family, "''Renown," "Wealth''
and Wisdom They are appropriate
~ furnished. The first looks like a
museum of toys, the second is adorned
with paintings and statues of Venus
and Cupid, the third is Il mere library,
the fourth is the temple of his Lares
and Penates, the fifth contains the gifts
and written compliments of admirers,
the sixth is rich with treasures and
gems, and the seventh is dedicated
to Plato and Socrates. The eighth,
which he is now building, is the blouse
OF Death, and will be the mausoleum
in which its author dust will be placed.

Spoilers.

A spotter from the East who has
worked %hereabouts so much that his face
is familiar to the boys, was here n o
long ago doing some work for the Lake
Shore Company. He was employed to
see if the way-freight men were living
| up to the rule prohibiting them from
allowing any one to ride without pur-
chasing a ticket. Way-freight conduc-
tors are prohibited from collecting cash
fares, and yet cases arise where it seems
the height of cruelty to put a passenger
of. The ticket office may have been
closed, or his time too limited to buy a
ticket, and while it is q matter of life
and death with him to reach his destina-
ton, and he is ready to pay his fare on
the train, the conductor cannot take
him. The spotter caught one or two
way freight conductors, but his term of
service vas limited. ..We usually pay
them so much a day." said Lake Shore
Division Superintendent yesterday,
land their expenses at some tirst-class
hotel, but we do not employ them to
any great extent. Aspotter is liable to
be too anxious to make out a case, and
we hire only reputable men in the bust
ness. l know that a great deal of abuse
is being heaped on spoilers just now,
but there are cases where they are nee
essary. To a certain extent the men
watch each other, and one man anxious
to get another out of the way to clear
the track for his own promotion will re-
port him. Then, in the case of passen-
ger conductors, we average them up at
the end of each month and mako a gen
eral average of the cash collections of
each man at the end of the year."
So saying, the official produced from
his desk a slip Of paper bearing the
names of all the passenger conductors
on his division, the number of trips
made by each, the average cash collec-
tions per trip, and the aggregate amount
of money collected by each man. Few
of the conductors took in more than one
hundred and seventy-five dollars in
June, and some as low as forty-eight
dollars. The greatest number Of trips
made by any Conductor was fifty. and.
the average cash collections did not ex-
coed five dollars and se%venty-iive cents
per trip. 1t is not SO much a question
of honesty as of the cold-blooded s.busi-
ness-is-business'' principle that enables
one conductor to make a better showing
than another. In other words, the man
whom tears or tales OF woe will not
move and who has the knack of getting
money out of a person that a more SYM.
pathetic conductor would pass will
make. the best showing. "Some years
ago l did II little detective work myself"

A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
MIR. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government au interesting account of a
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal Of portion
OF the human stomach, involving
nearly one.third of the organ-and,
strange TO say, the patient recovered
tile only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is n peculiar indies.
Cribablc distress in the stomach, feel.
ing that has been described us n faint
"0U zone" sensation; IA sticky slime col
lects about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, ii
appears to aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
n cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore
bodings. When rising suddenly from
recumbent position there is dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom.
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmentcd con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftentimcs there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever as the opening in the intcs-
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. Al.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with Tie above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety.nine cases out of u
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if
treated in II proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-
paration sold by all chemists and medi-
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietors, A. j. White Iimit
ed), II, Farringdon-road, London, E. &.
This Syrup strikes at the very founda-
ton of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system

Now Mr.. Editor | went my pile on

fear of contamination, "there now is

But, alas for the frailty of poor

had succumbed to the wiles of the
devil, and was gambling for candy
just like one of these bad boys who

Jones-I have great mind TO

Smith-What for, pray?
Jones-To ride on, of course. A
friend of mine who is dealer in
bicycles says they have many merits
and only three objections
Smith-Did he tell you what the
objections we're?
Jones-Well, no.
SMITH had one once. Your
friend is right. A bicycle has but
three objections. The first one is
that you are liable to break an arm !;
the second is that you are liable to
break leg
Jones-Good Gracious!

Only his own stingy self to please.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Detroit Times: The Republican party
can do tolerably well for a while ON
"reminiscences.
Albany Journal: Mr.. Hiscock, we may
add, Is more likely To be found with Sen
atorial powers than President Arthur.
Detroit Free Press: Paul L0escher,
the MuskegOn fisherman, who killed his
wife because she refused To live with
him, has had the good luck 10 be con-
victed just in time to be pardoned before
Gov. Begole's term expires.
Syracuse Standard: It strikes us that
If we were a red-handed Nihilist, or a
fire-breathing dynamiter, or an arsenic
eating anarchist, or a murder-plotting
Socialist, We would rather be tried III a
German than ia an English court.
Chicago inter Ocean: Since Cleveland
declined a keg of genuine old whisky,
with gold faucet for 1t to run through,
the Democrats have been all torn up IN
their minds. They begin to have lurking
fears that the Governor Is not much OF a
Democrat.
Philadelphia Times: Perhaps If the
English people could be induced to make
a cool investigation it would be found
that there had been no serious dynamite
explosions at all. A leaking gas pipe
furnishes material for good deal of noise
sometimes.
Wilmington (Del.) Netcs: 1t is obvious
that the young Republicans all over the
country are meeting their recent defeat
pretty much with the same spirit as that
which their fathers met the rebel victory
of Bull Run. They are organizing already
for the next contest in 1888.
Detroit Post: Judging from Gov
Begole's celebrity in emptying the prisons
by pardoning the prisoners, no accused
person likely to be convicted should have
had his trial postponed. IL he had So
cured sentence before December he
could easily have got pardon before
January.
Philadelphia Record: The New York
Chamber of Commerce In declaring
against the Spanish treaty has made the
prospect of its ratification still more
hopeless. While some of the opposition
To the treaty in the Chamber was due to
the protective spirit, Mr.. Jackson s.
Schultz expressed the sentiment of the
majority when he said that it was not a
sound measure of free trade.

Since the movement OF Senator Logan
10 defeat the confirmation OF the Presi-
dents nomination of Mr. W. +. Curtis as
secretary Of the commission to investi-
gate our trade with South America, some
curiosity has been aroused as to the
course the Chicago Inter Ocean, of which
Mr.. Curtis was a correspondent at the
time Of his appointment, would pursue
in reference TO the Senatorial canvass in
Illinois. With tie in the State Legis-
lature comparatively small influence
might accomplish Senator Logan's de-
feat, and the Inter Ocean wields an in
huence not TO be classed as small. Thus
far the Inter ocean has been very re-
served. and in a leading editorial yester-
day the Senator is given, 10 say the least,
very courteous consideration. He has
recently written letters, it is said, to a
number Of members Of the Legislature
TO the effect that be does not wish to be-
come a candidate OF the caucus unless
every member Of the causus is deter
mined 20 stick by him to the last. This
the editorial characterizes as frank and
manly and goes on TO say: What
ever may be said Of the Senator be is a
straight fighter. and rs these letters are
written promiscuously to Republican
members. fair warning is given both TO
friends and enemies az 10 what he ex-
poets and what his tactics will be If he
goes into The fight. He wants no com
plimentary votes. They wonld add
nothing t. the reputation Of man who
SO many times has had so hearty an IN
dogsement from tho people and Legisla-
tnres ~ this State. There would be some
additional glory II with unanimity Re-
