The Labrador fisheries have again
failed. and famine threatens the hardy
people of that most inhospitsble coast.
Last year the government was called upon
to assist the fisher folks. and during the
past twenty years the same mistortunes
have befallen them many times. The
fact is that the fisheries are failing more
and more, from year to year. A quarter
of century ago the abundance of sea-
food was such that few weeks of hard
work would produce enough to last the
whole year. But it is long since such
prosperity left the coast. The short tour
months fishing season-not seldom re-
duced by the weather to three months or
even less-now often fails 10 provide VIM
ter provisions. and the profits are scanty
in the extreme. The people have to work
harder than ever, and obtain less for their
labor. During the long winter misery has
taken the place of the rude sociability
that formerly prevailed. Yet the Labra-
dorians cling to their comfort.ess lives.

The public journals of New York are
justified in exposing and dwelling upon
Gov Hills connection with Tweed The peo-
pie never condoned that association. Mr..
Hill slipped into second place without
special scrutiny. and became Governor not
by election but by accident. Had he been
acandidate for the leading office before
he could not have escaped a searching in
vestigation then any more than he can
now. His record will not bear the light,
He was Just coming prominently into pol
tiles when Tweed held autocratic sway
over the democratic party in New York.
aud Hill had just the weak moral fibre and
the sordid ambition to become his servile
follower. SO long as Tweed welded the
scepter OF power, Hill did his bidding.
When the Tammany dictator was over
thrown. and Tilden seized the leadership
OF the party Hill had agility enough to
catch on. and he was ready to shout for
"Tilden and reform" as he had been for
Tweed and Tammany, and with as little
principle in one case as in the other.

One of the most promising of the younger

posed his sons art aspirations, and wanted him
to devote himself to business instead. The boy
however, was determined to study art abroad
and finally the father compromised. He was
large Western dealer in CATTLE and sold his son on
credit, but at pretty stiff market price, small
herd Of choice CATTLE with the stipulation that
the boy should take them to Liverpool to sell.
The profits of the transaction. If any, he could
have to pay his expenses while studying abroad,
but if he lost money he should return home and
go into business.
The boy brought the cattle to Boston, shipped
them from here to Liverpool, going on the same
steamer with them, reached that port in nine
days. struck a good market, sold out in one day
at big profit, cabled check to his father for
the amount of his loan, and in less than a week,
with the profits of the transaction in his pocket.

Olive Thorne Miller, in Harper's
The cat-bird has an inquiring mind; nothing
escapes his eye, and everything is of interest to
him. Far from being satisfied to accept any
thing as mysterious he wishes and intends 10
know the why and wherefore of everything now
or strange His manner, however, is not one Of
vulgar curiosity, but always Of philosophical in
quiry into the nature of substances and his look
is as grave and thoughtful as though he were
studying some of the problems of human or bird
life.
When cat~bird stands up three feet from
you, not in the least clustered or disturbed,
calmly looking you full in the face with both his
bright black eyes, not turning his head from
side to side in the way common to BIRDS you
recognize in him something like intelligence and
reason, and you cannot resist the conviction
that he has bis opinion, and could express them
if only you could understand his language.
