riblef And yet 10 COM down 70 the plain

strike oil the rocks than that a railway train

LBurdette in Brooklyn Eagle.l
Did you ever notice a catfish snubbing his
way along the shore Of tho creelf How no
noses his way slowly along up the little iniets,
along bits OF d~riftwoood. around chunks OF
clay. He never hurries, doesn't often appear
TO find anything. isn't particularly anxious
TO keep in the shade, doesn't seem 70 care
very much whether you sec him or not; he
just snubs along tho shore, idly, noiselessly,
with never a splash or a ripple; he nibbles at
some inedible substance once in a while and
then abandons 1t, drifts on a little farther,
hnds a worm or a bug, swallows 1t with the
air Of a fish who ha 8 found what he has been
searching for along five miles Of coast line,
and disappears into deep water.
Now do you know, the catfish develops
into q mani Here is a field for Mr.. Darwin
Any warm, very warm, sunny day on the
Ohio river, when the water Is low enough to
be yellow, you can see the man who l.
evolved from this catfish. He has a low
skin, unusually square at each end; 1t isn't
exactly a scow, 1t looks as though he intended
to make IL sharp-bowed, but lacked energy
enough to draw tho sides quite together. 1t
is tho dirtiest skill on the river. A hard
rain or a sweeping freshet makes 1t dirtier.
The rowlocks arc bts of sapling stuck in
holes. The man who owns that boat will
hunt for days for a bit of growing timber
the right size rather than whittle down a
piece Of hickory. He rows along the still
river with the motions and the instincts Of a
catfish. He never hurTies. His cans drop
into the water without a splash, and he
softly raises them without a ripple. He
noses his way along the bank. The spectacle
of this man rowing down the middle Of the
stream Is as rare as sunshine at a picnic.
Sometimes he wants TO cross over to the
other shore, but then he rows very rapidly in
midstream, the only time he is ever known
to make any exertion. Along the shore is his
favorite haunt, and here he and the catfish
are twins, and he the dirtier and lazier. He
paddles suspiciously and noiselessly up 10
bits OF d%riftwood, occasionally hauling some
broken plank aboard his craft. He has a
sluggish but wary eye for floating casks and
kegs; like the other catfish he rejects four.
ffths of the things he inspects, and what he
accepts appear 10 give him very little pleas
ure. You never meet either Of this party in
clear waters or on cold days. But II the sun
Is hot, the water muddy, a sense of malaria
present in the adjacent swampa, you may
wander along the bank of the river and look
for the catfish snubbing .long the shore. And
when you have found him lift up your eyes,
and 10, the man in tic boat is not one hun
dred yards away. And you will wondoI
which OF the twain evolved the other.

AFTER valiantly combating his growing
physical as well as mental incapaeity'
John Mccullough has at last been forced
TO Weld to the inevitable. A telegram
from Chicago that all his dates
for the remainder OF the season have been
cancelled and his company disbapded. 1t
is asserted, too, that during last season
Mccullough gave daily evidences of i'm
proyement in his art, and the intimation is
sought to be conveyed that his present
constitutional breakup has been sudden
in its character. This is not true. Those
who were carried away with Mccullough
finished performances three or four years
ago, could not feel thoroughly pleased with
his representations of last season.
The writer saw Mccullough in his
favorite round Of characters last March,
and at that time the great actor showed a
growing inability to adequately master
some of the stirring scenes. There was
even then evident a lack of physical force
necessary for the most powerful situations
which always left in the mind Of the audi
tor a feeling of vague disappointment.
McCullough's weakness for the good
things of this life, his tendency to in
dulge in convivial social parties after the
nervous tension Of his nightly perform
ances. probably combined to curtail his
hours for adequate rest. The
result probably is that his ner-
vous system is badly shattered. The
reports concerning him sent from New
York after his return from a vacation
spent at n of the German spas, gave
hints that his alleged recuperatiou was a
delusion. He WA in 20 condition 10 be.
gin his seasons work, and his efforts in
that direction were little less than suicidal.
The hope is as general as it is genuine
that quietude and retirement will WOO back
to him his old-time physical yigor, and
that his splendid mental endowments may
sufer M mnairment.
