Eels Ten Feet Long.

Il don't think the average American
has any idea of what real big eel is, said
an old fisherman to New York Sun re-
porter. "When they see one a little
larger than usual they say it is a serpent.
If they saw the congers off the Irish coast
they would have some reason to call them
serpents; for, you know, there are no
snakes in Ireland. St. Patrick drove
them all into the sea, and it is common
superstition that they became conger eels.
You can't find them anywhere else in the
world Of course they catch eels here,
and everywhere, that they call the conger,
but they are no more like the Irish conger
than sprat is like salmon. know it is
hard to credit it, but have caught scores
of them ten feet long, and nearly as thick
rs mans thigh. They are only to be
found in the deepest water and are fond
of lurking under great rocks They are
caught with stout line and hook, and
they will grab at any bait offered to them.
But fishermen don't much care TO hook
them, and when one is hauled into a boat
he makes, usually, an unwelcome addition
to its occupants. He lashes around like
boa-constrictor. He never attacks man.
but if your foot gets into his mouth you
must take his head off to get it out again.
An Irish fishing crew, however, is not
likely to be long bothered with him.
They daze him with blow from boat
hook, and then cut deep into the back OF
his neck; but even after that has been
done he must he watched, or he will pass
quickly over the side and back into the
sea. Dublin, suppose, is the best market
for conger eels, and after we had caught
lot of extra big ones we used to run for
Kingston harbor and land them on the
pier. Ladies strolling on the pier often
nearly tainted at seeing one go straight at
them. 1t was impossible to persuade them
that the eel did not intend to attack them.
The fact is congers get stone blind when
they are a few hours out of the water, and
have no idea where they are going. They
will live for days, however, out of their
element No, not even in the sea will a
conger attack man so far as | know
They will take dog down, though. /
have seen one seize good-sized water
spaniel by the throat and throw its tail
over its back so that the poor brute sank

THE PRESS AND THE PLow.
We envy not the princely man,

We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Turn up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor for his heaps of gold
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth twice told.
We are the favored ones of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn,
We SOW, we reap the golden gram,
We gather in the corn.
We toll we live on what we earn
And more than this we do;
We hear of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags a weary life.
He never knows peaceful hour,
His atmosphere is strife.
A merchant thumbs his yardstick DER,
Grows haggard at his toll,
He's not the man God meant him for
Why don't he till the soil?
The doctor plods through storm and rain
Plods at his patients will;
When dead and gone he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer-bless his noble soul
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on our daily sheet
To cheer the laborers' hearth.
We sing the honor of the Plow,
And honor to the Press
Two noble instruments OF toll,
Each with power to bless.
The bone. the nerve OF this last age,
True wealth of human kind;
One tills the ever faithful earth,
The other tillS the mind.

PHoToGRAPHING BURGLARs.-A Chi
cago photographer has his apparatus ar
ranged for instantaneous negatives. Mrs.
w. d. Curtis went there to be photo
graphed, and took position with hand
satchel in her lap, containing $40. While
the photographer was in the darkness of
his camera he heard a noise and pulled the
trigger, taking an instantaneous photo
graph. There was terrible rumpus going
on Mrs Curtis said man had rushed in
and snatched her satchel When the pho
tographer looked at his plate in his camera
he was astonished to find he had double

Birds and Insects

1t has been estimated by naturalists that
from eighty TO one hundred millions of
birds eggs are destroyed each year, princi-
pally BY boys. Add to these the living
birds which are shot in pure wantonness,
and then compute, if you can, the thou
sands of millions of injurious insects that
escape destruction on account of this kind
of sport. 1t is calculated that the ravages
of insects, each year, cost mankind up
wards Of fifty millions of dollars. Were it
not for the good service of the birds, it
would be well nigh impossible to gain
living from the soil Not many wears ago
the shooting of birds was free to all in
France, but so great was the destruction of
the crops and fruits, that laws had to be
enacted for the protection of the feathered
friends of the farmer. The people of Aus
tralia were obliged to import birds from
Europe, at great expense, in order to keep
their gardens alive Formerly rewards
were offered in England for the destruc-
ton of sparrows. Now this is reversed,
and the premiums are for protection.
Even the thievish crow is believed, in the
long run, to do more good than harm. If
he were exterminated the farmers would
doubtless discover value in him which
now they do not suspect. As to the owls,
they are among the most useful of our
friends. But for their services the world
might have been long ago overrun with
mice and other like pests. Boys in gen
eral never stop to think that their sport in
bird hunting may be harmful They have
no idea of the myriads of insects consumed
by the pretty songsters 1t would be well
for them to inform themselves on this sub
iect. There are birds enough for reason
able amount of sport, but it is not policy to
make victims of them purely for the love
of killing. As our country becomes more
thickly settled, the farmers and gardeners
will need the services of these busy friends.

THREE LESSONS.

There are three lessons would write,
Three words as with golden pen,
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope, Though clouds environ round,
And sladness hides her face i'll scOrn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith, Where er thy bark is dsiveIs,
The GAINS disport, the tempest's mirth,
Know this God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth
Have Love Not love alone for one.
But man as man thy brother call;
And scatter, like the circliDg sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul,
Hope Faith and Love: and thou shalt find
Strength when llfe's s,irges maddest roll,
Light, when thou else vert blind.

PENRYN.-A correspondent of the Au-
burn Argus says that Penryn, on the line
of the Central Pacific, is making rapid
progress, on the strength of the develop
ment of the surrounding country. The
granite quarries there are the most noted
in the State, and employ large number
of workmen. As fruit country it is I'M
surpassed, and the prospect for the pres
ent season is the best ever known. Orange
trees do well there. Real estate is con-
stantly advancing in price, and land which
a few years ago was considered worthless
is eaygerly sought for at prices ranging
from $40 to as high as 500 per acre. The
fruit possibilities of the immediate region
are almost unlimited.

Negro Pupil Eloquenoe.

In Liberty county, GA, negro preacher
was conducting a series Of revival meet
ings, and one night had dozen men and
women lying PROSTATE before him. Ac-
cording TO the custom, he was sitting up
all night with these converts, preaching to
the small band of spectators who were
helping him to sit it out. Finally, getting
frantic at the way one man held out, he
cried De word OBJ God shall break dat
man down" And, so saving, he seized the
pulpit Bible and struck the obstinate man
on the head with it, telling him to the
floor, and thus securing another victim.
have heard some aboriginal preaching
around on Magnolia street at the Fourth
African Baptist Church here. The orator
was preaching on the text Dis am de
place OBJ skull" He began with an
account of Cleopatra and her asp, refer
ring to the latter as being not simply
painful, but mortly, brederin, fear
full mortly." Then followed an ac-
count of the goddess Beulah, and the
civilization of Babylon in the days Of
Darius accent on the first syllable). He
continued: "Man is lost in his own des-
tiny Some is lost by 'suasions, and some
by impo' tations. Yo know, my brederin,

haps the worst distortion of Scripture

which recently TRANSFERRED in Atlanta.
An old African oracle read his text as fol-
lows: AN de vail oh de Temple was

late as to the quality of Irvine implied in
the passage, giving his belief that there
was blue Irvine, and red Irvine, and yellow
Irvine, etc. Among the curiosities of ex-
preston used by this slaughterer of the
mother tongue were the following: 81
