INDIAN summer is aterm applied
to an indefinite autumnal season of fine,
fair weather with haze. Some date its
beginning about November 10, but that
is arbitrary and not warranted by the
season itself. Such brief season is
apt to come in November, as every
American knows. In that summer"
the Indians used to gather their corn
and Scour the woods for nuts. They
thought the mildness due to the "God
of the Southwest" wind, which god
they looked upon as their benefactor.
As he smoked his pipe the blue haze
curled upwards from the bowl thereof
and was blown benignantly over the
land.-N T. Graphic.

The Rev. Theodore Sleek, of Buffalo,
New York, makes the charges of fatal
malpractice Of DR.. Hebenstreit, q we'll
known physician. The son of the
former, aged seven, was dangerously ill
with membranous Group, and upon
the advice of the physician the opera
ton of tracheotomy was performed
When the doctor was called in the lit
tie fellow seemed much better; he sat
up in bed and was bright and cheerful
At 8 o'clock DR.. Hebenstreit told the
parents that it was better to operate
then than to wait until next day.
They told him to go ahead He
chlorOfOrmed the child and consumed
half an hour before reaching the wind
pipe. Then with hook he drew I'D
the windpipe so that he could reach it
with a pair of shears. He gave one
sharp cut and suddenly the blood
spurted out upon the carpet. The boy
recovered from the chloroform and
tried to sit up, but his little hands fell
in the blood and the table was covered
with it. The doctor, when he saw
what he had done, cried out: My
God! if only l hadn't done it." The
child died from loss of blood in q few

Mrs. Grant has given her consent to
Mr.. Vanderbilt's proposition to secure
to the Government perpetual posses
sion of Gen. Grants war relics and
souvenirs of his famous around-the-
world journey. The relies were part
of the security for the $15O,000 loan
that Mr.. Vanderbilt gave Gen. Grant
to help out the firm of Grant & Ward,
and became Mr.. Vanderbilt's property
when Gen. Grant confessed Judgment
for the $150,00O on Dec. 9th. Mr..
Vanderbilt offered to deed the relics
and other property back to Gen.
Grant, but Mrs. Grant refused to ac-
cept the offer. When he changed the
offer to proposition to make her
trustee of the relics, with the under
standing that they should become the
property of the Government at Gen.
Grants death, she readily consented,
and on Jan. 10th, deed was executed,
transferring the relics to her.

TOMCOD FOR JERsEYMEN.

Alr. George Ricardo, Fish Warden of
Bergen County, who, by artificial
propagation has increased the smelt
fishing industry on the Hackensack
river by 800 nets and the catch of fish
by over 100 per cent. for each net since
1884, is engaged in an interesting ex-
pertinent with 2,105,O00 eggs of the
tomcod.
Mr. Ricardo has charge of all the fish
Matching in the State He recently
informed the Fish Commissioners that
the edible little tomcod, heretofore
generally considered to spawn only in
salt water, was native to the fresh,
springlike water of the Hackensach.
He showed the Commissioners eggs of
the frost fish, as the tomcod is called
sometimes, that he had taken from the
Hackensack.
The Commissioners thought it would
be a good idea to stock the waters of
South Jersey, where tomcods are un-
known, with the little fish. Mr..
Ricardo got the eggs from tomcods
taken out of the river at New Milford,
where he lives, five miles from Hack
ensack. He has his Matching establish
ment at New Milford The 2,105, 900
eggs are in four glass jars, the Nc
Donald shad Matching jars, in which a
circulation of fresh water is kept up by
means of glass tubes and rubber hose.
The water goes through a tube in the
middle of the top of one jar, keeping
the eggs in constant motion by the
force of its current, SO they cannot
crush one another, and goes out OF
another tube in the side of the top OF
the jar, and into another tube in the
middle Of the top Of the next jar, and
so on through all four jars into an
aquarium. The temperature of the
water is kept at about ~ degrees.
This is the first attempt that has
been made to propagate tomcod in
fresh water, and Mr.. Ricardo is sure il
will be successful. Some of the eggs
will be Matched in ten days The fish
will return to the rivers in which they
are put, and spawn there, so that the
chances are that the South Jersey fish
ermen will have all the tomcods they
can catch in a few years
Mr. Ricardo will take 1.0OG, eo.. smell
eggs to New Orleans, and hatch them
there in this new Matching apparatus
He will also turn out 1000, 900 more
smelts for the benefit of Jersey fisher
men in the Spring.

Lizzie Kaufman, while dancing at a
ball at Workmen's Hall, Cincinnati,
early on Sunday morning, sank to the
floor, and died in a few minutes -
Miss Kaufman was a good-looking,
lively young girl. much liked by those
who knew her, and fond of society
She had danced from early in the even
ing, until 2 o'clock in the morning,
when she said to the young man with
whom she was dancing, Il feel faint. y
The young man conducted her to q
chair. On the way she tainted, and
never spoke again. No physician was
called. When the patrol wagon ar
rived, the girl lay on the floor sur
rounded by half dozen girls who
were rubbing her hands and feet. Her
body was taken to the undertaker's.
The young man with whom she was
dancing, found another partner and
joined the dance, which went on with
out further interruption until day
light.

A few weeks ago, Charles Albertson
and wife, of No. 5 Commerce street.
Newark, started on a trip south. They
left at home their little adopted son,
| Charles Albertson Roth, aged7. While
they were gone the little fellow wrote
them very affecting letter, imploring
them to return at once, as he felt very
lonely. He said he cried for them
nearly all the time, and did not think
he could stand it unless they came
back at once. The latter shortened
their visit, but they arrived home only
to find the lad dead, he having con-
tracted malignant scarlet fever a few
days after writing the letter to his
adopted parents. Mrs Albertson was
prostrated by grief, having loved the
child as dearly as if it had been hel
own.

Carl Schurz, like Henry Ward
Beecher, is already experiencing the
punishment OF his work during the
campaign. The punishment comes in
the one case through the loss of pew
rents, and in the other through the
loss of audiences, which were once to
Mr.. Schurz a very profitable source of
income. In Jacksonville, Fla, on
Jan. 25th, lecture which he had ex-
tensively advertised was so poorly at

vote has stood unchanged until this hour-430

voted down, and the members sent
out for luncheon, which they devoured

changed to Governor z. F. Moody. On the
