A Thousand Grabs a Day.
THE DRAG SYSTEM OF CATCHING SOFT
CRABS.


Mr.. Tully A. Joynes writes "a
few days ago, at Crisfeld, Md, one
man caught 1000 soft crabs in one day;
caught them with scrape. The usual
shipment of soft crabs from Crisfeld
averages from five to eight thousand
dozen per week. And if we put them
at rs cents per dozen we see at once
that a handsome revenue is derived
from this growing industry; 5000
dozen at IS cents per dozen, $4,000.
Now this business never could have
reached its present development if
crabbers had continued to wade around
the shores of the creeks and inlets
looking for soft crabs. However, this
was the first step, as the demand for
them far exceeded the supply. Some
one fell upon the idea of catching the
hard ones and keeping them in ponds
until they should shed. In this man
ner the supply was greatly increased
but the demand had increased also. 1t
was found out by some of the oyster
men that soft crabs could be taken in
deep water and there was great many
in the channel, so the idea of a scrape
or dredge fixed to a canoe, somewhat
after the manner of dredges for catch
ing oysters, occurred to some of the
crabbers. The idea was put to practi-
cal use, and now every morning at
Crisfeld you can see fleets of canoes
putting out in deep water and throw
ing over their scrapes, and sometimes
they make as high as $40 per day. Oh
course the 600 catch was an excep-
ton and not likely to happen again
We have been urging some of our Vir
ginia fishermen to take hold of thi:
business. OnancOck ought to ship a
least 1000 dozen soft crabs per week
Pungoteague, Nandua, OccOhannock
ChescOnnesseX, Hunting, Guilford anC
Hungars creeks, all ought to realize ;
. handsome income from this undevelOp
ed industry. Oystermen, tongers,
mean who have remained idle durin,
, the Summer, living on the store lai,
/ up in Winter, can find in this NOR
, profitable employment than the oyste
, business"
But commander Waddell has order
e ed his deputy commanders to arres
, the soft crabbers using scoop, scrapC
= dredge or similar instrument. The er
t forcement of this order will break II
+ the crab dredging business in Mary
land waters, but as Mr. Joynes sug
e gests, it doubtless can be pursued yer
e proftably in the waters of the Easter
+ Shore and Virginia.-Eas Ledger

Stanley's African Work.

Mr.. Stanley's third journey from the
mouth of the Congo excites less inter
est than his previous reappearance
from the Dark Continent. He has not
made any great geographical discovery
and the commercial enterprise which
he founded during his second journey
is no longer a startling novelty. 1t is
now seven years since he completed
his memorable voyage down the
Lualaba and announced that beyond
the cataracts of the lower Congo there
was another Danube navigable for a
thousand miles in the centre of Africa.
Two years afterward he returned un-
der the commission of the King of the
Belgians, president of the African In
ternational Association, to establish a
series of trading stations and to open
roads across country to the navigable
reaches of the river This work was
successfully accomplished and the
great valley of the Congo was opened
to European trade. Mr.. Stanley's
third journey was undertaken in con
sequence of French intrigue and the
attempt of an Italian adventureI
named De Brazza to open a rival route
from Stanley Pool to the coast. Thi:
attempt has ended in ignOminiOus fail
ure, and Mr.. Stanley has succeeded
without molestation OF interference il
completing the work of establishing
trading stations from the mouth of tn,
Congo to Stanley Pool.

Cattle Diseases in the West.

Serious indications of cattle disease
have been almost simultaneously de-
veloped in Kansas, Nebraska and the
stock yards at Chicago. AS usual the
alleged experts are unable to agree
upon a name for the disease or in their
view of the causes which have pro-
duced it. Some insist that it is Texas
or Spanish fever, while others attribute
it to the alkali water of the plains. In
any event it has the fatal results of an
infection of more than local character
and deserves the prompt action of the
authorities.
Whatever the disease may be it is
evident that it had its origin in the
purely pastoral districts, where cattle
are produced without food, shelter OF
care. To those familiar with the
necessities and the methods of that re-
giOn the wonder is not that infections
should manifest themselves occasional.
ly, but that they have not become SC
general as to spread cOntagiOp and
ruin upon the cattle interest in tbs
grain growing areas. When cattle q
all ages and conditions are turned
loose for the inevitable Eve or si1
months of Winter to shift for them
selves, to seek and find their food il
the dry and s0-called cured buncl
grass of the region, with no shelter ex
cept a mountain and no care from any
human being, nothing is more certain
than that the seeds of disease must b.
developed in many of these wandering
herds.-PhiEadelphia Times.

A HOPEFUL INDICATION.-Itis noted
as favorable symptom of the cholera
visitation that the precautionary meas
ures adopted appear so far to have
been successful in limiting its ravages
to a comparatively small area. A gen.
Grafton ago the scOurge would have
spread with great rapidity throughout
Europe, and no doubt would, before
this, have crossed the Atlantic and
claimed its thousands of victims in the
large centres of the United States and
Canada.
But thanks to the scientific research
and the rapid means of communication
characteristic of the age, the means Of
isolating the disease are much more
effective than formerly.
At latest accounts the disease seems
to have spent its force in the pestilence-
stricken cities of France, as the death
rate is declining. The prospect is
hopeful that with unceasing vigilance
it can be confined to its present limits
This will be a great victory for modern
medical science.

There was a soldiers reunion at
Dayton, Ohio, the other day. Mr.. r.
B. Hayes was there. His presence
does not appear to have excited special
comment, but when the audience got
sight of Mrs. Hayes thousands of
people set up cry for the estimable
lady" The estimable lady, "blushing
with timidity, gathered her skirts in
her hands with a prudent regard,
no doubt, to the probable condition of
the floor at an Ohio soldiers reunion
land gracefully stepped forward" "
At this there was such a scene as never
was at Dayton; "the audience at once
went wild, throwing hats, parasols,
handkerchiefs and everything that
came in the way into the air."

The New French Divorce Law.

A dispatch announcing the gazetting
Of the new French divorce law states
that already three thousand suits have
been begun under it. The world will
watch the operation of this law with
great interest. 1t marks singularly
swift change in public opinion, in the
first place. Ten years ago such law
could not have been enacted, yet to-
day there can be no doubt as to its
popularity. Of its operations time
alone can testify. Many predictions,
both sinister and sanguine, have been
made regarding it. 1t has been de-
clared that it would lead to unimagined
social disorder. If this is so then the
French must be unlike any other peo-
pie. But if, as has been asserted with
out contradiction, the main ground of
the public approval of the law lay in
the fact that juries have for some time
practically refused to inflict death for
wife-murder, there can be no question
as to the necessity for change.
When the impossibility of divorce
presses so heavily upon society that
wife-murder comes to be regarded as
almost venial offence, it is clear that
no social disturbance at all likely to
arise from divorce law will exceed in
evil the existing situation. There
have been prophecies of moral re-
generation to occur through the new
law, and it may we'll be hoped that
they are not destined to failure.
1t is also hoped by the sanguine that
the new law will tend to purify French
fiction from the leprous taint which has
so long degraded and disgraced it.
Certainly nothing in the line of literary
reform has yet appeared. On the con-
trary, a steady descent seems to be
proceeding. But if wife-murder i:
stopped, if an impulse is given to high
er social ethics, if the hideOus lubricity
of the French novel of the period il
Giscountenanced, by the working o
/ the divorce law, it will have been pro
: ductive of good. 1t must be confessed
[ that the institution of three Thousand
; divorce suits on the day the law wen
| into effect savors of yearning fo
2 change rather than suggests desire t
r escape from imtolerable bonds; but
may be that this inference is hardl
= fair to the suitors, who must be SUP
t posed to know best themselves wher
, the shoe pinches. Still, this legisla
= ton must be regarded as experimental
p and it will be impossible to form a
: estimate as to its consequences until
: has been in operation at least yea
Y and perhaps longer.-N. !. Tribune.
