"Ma, yonder's a a wot's goin' a
fishin'.' The speaker was a. small
boy, whose parents live in a cabin and
cultivate a small patch of ground in
the mountains west Of this place, neal
the route of Yanderbilt's proposed
South Pennsylvania railroad.
Ma was busy washing clothes and
made 70 reply. The youngster. impa-
tient of such neglect, determined on a
more personal appeal To her attention.

go long" said the materfamilias,
CURLY. The boy started off with run
but as he approached the object of his
journey he slowed up, as if awed by a
nearer view of the uncouth individual
who was spading the rich bottom soil.
This mans appearance was by no
means reassuring. In fact, he looked
almost avag His angular and I'M
calmly torn was ipcased in coarse gar
ments, apparently the work of an am
ateur tailor of the eighteenth century.
Long, struggling, unkempt hair and
beard and a scowl on the narrow fore
head that overhung his small, plggish
eyes made him still less progresses
ing.
Near the man stood a large tin can,
half-filled with the ordinary earth
worms used for tish-bait. Occasionally
his spade would uncover a fresh col
ony of worms, and with an inarticulate
grunt the Hungarian digger would
pick out as many as he could catch
while they tried to bury themselves
again and drop them into the can.
Mister, may L go a lishin' with

had recovered enough courage to adj
dress the, Hungarian. 81 know q bully

looked longingly into the can of worms.
as if enjoying the days sport in an
ticipation.
"Me no go a-lishin'," replied the.
Hungarian.
"What you goin' to do with the
worms, then, Misterp"
"Me make-a worm pot pie. You
comes with me, show YOU" and he
shouldered the spade and took the can
into his bosom asst it had been a clean
baby.
Too full of surprise to speak the
boy followed the Hungarian around
tho hill to a row of shant,es, where
several other Hungarians were cook
ing. A half-grown Hungarian boy
was SHINING rats and mice for dinner.
Another was busily engaged in crack
ing snail shells between stones, as if
they were walnutS, and depositing the
snalls in al iron pot for soup. When
the man with the spade and can arriv-
ed, half a dozen clustered around him
and peeped in to see how many worms
he had; then gave ventto their satisfac-
ton in grunts Of joy. One of them
tried TO drive the boy away, but a word
from the digger made him shut up.
The worms were washed and then
put into an oven, and flour and lard
placed owe them. This was put on
the fire to bake, and in half an hour
the worms were ready for a Polonius
banquet-not where they eat, but
where they are eaten. The boy was
invited. but didn't stay. Seeing was
good enough for him.-Shippensburg

The ~snapper's Triumph.

A hungry-looking and unfortunate
sea snapper, with bloodshot eyes, lay
on its back on a bench outside the
New York oyster house, on the west
side OF Ninth street, below Locust,
says the Philadelphia Pressl The
animal had been there for three days,

Getty for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. Acrowd OF children leased
it by tickling it with sticks and throw

for death to come and end it's miseries.
Presently a man with long hair and
a SLOUGH hat, accompanied by a lady
with Usage green umbrella anda yellow

seeing sights. The mans eyes fell on,

Mormons Anslons to Sell Ont.

There are indications in New York,
according to q correspondent of The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, that
the operation of the Edmunds bill with
reference to polygamy has had an I'M
expected effect upon the leaders of the
Mormon church. The control of that
church is vested in the president and
his twelve apostles. 1t has been gem
orally supposed that they held a vast
amount of properly for the church.
The amount, however, appears to be
comparatively limited, and under
pressure of the Edmunds bill they
have been impelled to make a protfer
of the sale of ali their principal pos
sessions to a syndicate of eastern cap
~italists, with the intention OF emil
grating to Mexico and taking with
them such of their followers as can be
induced to leave Utah. The PROPOSE
ton has been laid before several large
eastern capitalists, who have been in
vlted to consider it purely from o.
business standpoint. The agent in
the matter is John w. Young, u son
of Brigham Young by This first wife.
Young was one of the contractors for
the building Of the Union Pacific road,
and is a sharp business man. He has
been here for two or three months on
this mission, and has one of his wives
with him. He was here about a year
ago with a brother and son, at which
time so many Mrs. Youngs were reg
istered at the hotel where they
stopped that it became a mooted
question whether the practices of
Mormonism were not being carried on
in New York. Thus far Young has made
nc progress beyond getting a hearing
from capitalists, who have taken his
scheme under consideration. A gen.
tleman who formerly lived in Utah
said to your correspondent to-day:
at has long been the desire of a
strong faction of the active leaders
among the Mormons to get away from
Utah. l presume that the conviction
under the Edmunds bill has given the
excuse for pressing their views on the
rest of the church. There is very lit
tie common property held by the
church. The territory is distrieted.
Each district is given over to an
apostle. There are upwards of one
hundred bishops, chosen for their
business capacity. The bishops ST.
lent partner is the apostle for his dis
trict. The entire scheme is to get up
a monopoly Of trade. No other Nor
mon is allowed to start o store, and
the Mormons are forbidden to trade
with the gentiles. If an offer of prop
erty has been made to eastern capital
lists. 1t is the property of individuals.
1t may be a big scheme to sell land
that is otherwise unstable. The
Mormons arc equal to any such trick,
and the Youngs are sharpe enough to
put it through"

IA New England Ghost story.

The inhabitants OF Seymour. Conn,
and vicinity are much exercised in
mind over the existence III that town
OF a veritable haunted house, and
those who have occasion to pass the
place after nightfall do so with quick
ened pulses and a. fear thnt they may
see something that would cause fright
at least. 1t is believed that in the lit
tile brown house where John Sullivan
and his wife were found dead last win
ter, after having been undiscoveredfor
at least thirty-six hours, there is some
strange and terrible secret, and that
instead Of its being, assome supposed,
q case OF double suicide, perhaps both
sullivan and his wife we're murdered
in coldgblood.
For some time past timid people
have limited that all is not right in the
lonely little place. Two or three fam
lilies have occupied the place since the
tragedy, and they at once move out
and away, and are reticent as to
the causes, only saying that they
do not care to live there. Finally
it transpired that the firstfamily were
annoyed by strange noises. The sec
ond family heard all sorts OF super
natural sounds, and SO did the third
family, and it would be extremely diff
icult now for the owner to get q ten
ant.
Very recently q young man was rid
ing along m9company with q young
lady, when she suddenly gave q shrek
Of terror and convulsively seized him
by the arm. He hastily asked her
what she meant, and as soon as she
could regain her composure she said
that she saw the form of a woman on
the roof wildly waving it's hands.
Her companion tried to make her be-
lieve that there WAS nothing in it, but
she insisted, and still insists, that she
saw the startling specter. He made
up his mind that he would sift the
mystery to the bottom, and the next
night, in company with three or four
reliable friends, he visited the spot.
While they saw nothing, they assert
that they heard many noises that in
their opinion must be ascribed to
supernatural causes, There are but
few agnostics and but d few 0 OPP
timists in Seymour. They aremost1y
pessimists and many firm believers in
ghosts and hobgoblins. What will be
the outcome remains to be seen.

The uleomargariue Failure,

No one is surprised at the failure of
the big olcomargarine company, with
its nominal capital of $40, DOC, 900. 1t
is q natural effect of the law prohibit
ing the manufacture 'of olemargarine
many part of New York State. The
company had. to. STOP work under the
expect anything else than what has
happened. l believe it intended to
test the constitutionality of the law,
and this circumstance probably eX-
plains the claims Of ex-senator Conk-
ling and ex-Judge Fullerton for coun-
sci fees. When Fullerton found that
he could not collect his fee he applied
for q receiver, and the application was
promptly granted. In one way the
oleomargarine law is a good deal like
the new trout law. To make even a
pound of oleomargarine is a crime
whereof due cognizance will be taken,
but whole ton of the stuff may be sold
all over the State and city and IT is all
right. New Workers may eat all the
oleomargarine they please, lift is made
somewhere else, but they must not
make any themselves. Grocers carry
on the fraud of selling oleomargarine
for real butter every day, and no one
%interposes, but a man attempting to
manufacture the article may find the
whole s'machinery of justice" rushing
for him at a hundred miles an hour.
The new trout law provides that no
trout shall be taken anywhere in the
State, except on Long Island, before
May l, nor offered for sale anywhere
before that date. On Long Island,
though, the taking may begin on the
1sr OF April. 1t is legal, therefore, to
catch trout on Long Island and sell
them in Brooklyn after April 1, but
illegal to bring them across the East
River to New York before the 1st of
May. Some of the laws made at AL
bany are mighty queer, indeed.--NeW
