An Indignation Meeting.

Our quiet little neighboring town
of ROmney, w. Va, was yesterday
treated to a genuine sensation. It
appears that the office of Deputy Col.
lector of Internal Revenue there has
been held for years by Republican
named Harry Worden. Mr.. McGraw,
the newly appointed Democratic
Collector of Internal Revenue forIthe
West Virginia district, re-appointed
Mr.. Worden to the position he held
under the Republican Collector. AS
number of Democrats were after
the office, which ii is understood pays
81 900 year, this action of the new
Collector was not received with a
great amount of enthusiasm; in fact,
it was received with something bor.
dering on disgust. The dissatisfac-
ton began in mutterings deep, but
soon became open, public and decid.
ed. 1t eliminated yesterday morn
ing in a meeting at which several
speeches were made, expressive of
the Indignation which filled the
bosoms of the faithful. After the
meeting came the real fun. This
consisted of cutting down tn majes-
tic Cleveland and Hendricks pole
which graced the center of the town.
This was done. amid considerable
excitement, although, so far as re-
ported, everybody was in good hu.
NOR. After the pole had been dispos-
ed of. the "clean sweep" broom
which had surmounted it was care.
fully packed up and sent by express
to Ex-Governor Jackson, of West
Virginia, one enthusiastic individual
paying the freight upon it. Whether
the proceedings we have described
will nave the effect of causing Mr.
McGraw to remove Mr.. Worden and
replace him with good Democrat
remains to be seen.-Cuna6, Ne,Cs

Lewis Mehrling, resident in Fred
erick. while walking in Mt. Olivet
Cemetery recently, picked up locust
and was stung on the thumb, pre-
sumably by digger wasp, although
he thinks it was by the locust. The
sensation was similar to that pro.
duced by a slight prick of pin, and
the matter was quickly forgotten.
About 4 o'clock Monday morning,
however, he was awakened by an in
tense pain in his arm, which, with
the shoulder, was very much swollen
and discolored. Everything appear
ed dark, he says, before his eyes. He
Immediately called for assistance, and
was advised to battle his arm freely
with whisky, and also to take con-
siderable quantity of the liquor inter.
nally. which he did. Since then the
stiffness and swelling have become
very much reduced, but even yet his
thumb presents a greenish appear
ance. When it was suggested that
he had been stung by a digger wasp
Mr.. Mehrling insisted that such was
not the case, inasmuch as he had dis
tinctly noted the movements of the
locust. The egg depositor of the

Bill Nye on His Birthplace.

A man ought not to criticise his
birthplace, 1 presume. and yet. if l
were to do it all over again. 1 do not
know whether / would select that
particular spot or not. Sometimes l
think 1 would not. And yet, what
memories cluster about that old
house. There is the place where 1
first met my parents. 1t was at that
time that an acquaintance sprang up
which has ripened In later years into
mutual respect and esteem. 1t was
there that what might be termed a
casual meeting took place that has,
under the alchemy of restless years,
turned to golden links, forming a
pleasant but powerful bond of union
between my parents and myself. For
that reason L hope that 1 may be
spared to my parents for many years
to come.
There, on that spot, with no inner
itence but predisposition to prema-
tnre badness and a bitter hatred to
rum, with no personal property but
a misfit suspender and stone bruise

ceased to be warning to people who

A Big Carp Nursery.

Mr.. j. w, Wood, who owns a
pleasant place about three wiles from
Greenville, S. c., where he has es-
tablished an extensive nursery for
carp, began in 1880 with two hun
dred fish few days old, and, by an
accident. lost all but eighty-four of
them. Now he has seven ponds fill
ed with fish. numbering probably
100000. after having sold several
hundred dollars worth for breeding
purposes. His original fish now
weigh from twelve to fourteen pounds
apiece. and are valued at from S25 to
s5Oa pair. The ponds are divided
into spawning" and market"
ponds. and are ingeniously arranged
so as to be kept full of fresh water
and have the requirements of the
carp at the varied stages and ages of
their lives met. One of the ponds is
really a wonderful sight. At the
Iclapping of hands on the shore the
water there becomes fairly thick
with thousands of fish, who crowd
and leap over each other and press to
The bank in an almost solid mass to
be fed. They readily eat from the
hand ,oand can be stroKed by those
who know them and their peculiari
ties like so many kittens. He has
facilities for supplying a practically
unlimited demand, and will be able
to send probably from 10000 to 50,-
900 pounds of fish to market during
each year. The carp begins to breed
at two years old, and the number to
be raised is limited only by the room
to be found for them.

REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.

Trade at the opening to-day in the
yards showed some little improve
ment as to activity, but it did not
continue very long. Some few of the
dealers report their prices as shade
better than they found them last
Monday; but the ruling opinion was
that they were off a slight fraction
compared with the prices they real
lied then. There were some few
fatter tops mostly Chicago stillers-
than last week, but more medium
and common cattle than they were
then. Prices ranged from &c. to &c.,
