ILLUSTRATION of Paris relates an
amusing story concerning Prince Ma
poleon. A poor girl, miserable and de-
jected looking, asked aims from the
prince, who was then a representative
of the people. lie handed her a 5-franc
piece on which was the efigy OF Ma
poleon |, and as she was f~easting her
eyes on the money the prince asked
DO you think | resemble him2'
"Whomf' said she, opening her eyes in
establishment. Prince Napoleon pointed
to the white piece of money. But

at him and repeated as if she had been
spoken TO in an unknown language;
"Napoleonl Napoleon"
The prince was astounded. Then
you did not know Napoleonf" he in
quired. No" Nor ever heard him
even spoken of" "Neverl" In the
Rue de Rivoli, Paris, a being was found
who didn't know who Napoleon was.

Accidents, now that the open season
for hunting is on, are to be expected
Proper carefulness would prevent them
almost entirely. No man who can not
keep his wits about him under almost
all circumstances, is fit to be trusted
with a loaded gun. The man who
always handles a gun as if it were
loaded and dangerous, will escape acct
dents to himself and others. In hunt
ing game take no risSs whatever of
shooting man or beas st. 1t is always
best to keep out of fields where there
are domestic animals feeding, unless
you own the fields and animals. Look
before you shoot" is a good maxim for
the hunter to apply, especially when his
dogs are on a point. Look all around
before flushing the game, and if there
is any living thing except the game in
range, don shoot that way, or better,
don't shoot at all.

This very peculiar creature is found
only in the East Indies, and is supplied
by nature with admirably adapted
means for carrying on its sporting pro
cliyities. Its beak is a sort of hollow
cylinder, or miniature gun barrel. 1t
frequents the rivers mostly, though
sometimes found on the seashore in
shallow waters. When this fish is
hungry and espies a fly or an insect sit
ting upon the leaf of some sea plant he
swims away four or Ave feet from his
prey, from whence to take his aim, then
with great dexterity he elects out of his
tube like mouth one drop of water SO
well directed that it never fails to knock
tho insect into the water, when he be-
comes an easy victim and is eagerly de-
VOured

Cumberland Coauty Fair.

As previously stated in the PRESS the
officers of the Cumberland County Az
ricnltural Society have decided to hold fair
at Presumpscot Park next fall, September 8th,
9Th and 10th. II some way can be devised be-
fore that time to discharge the small debt Of
the Society. A committee has been appointed
to consider this matter. It is desirable also to
secure the park for the future use of the So
ciety. No better grounds are to be found in
the State, and the park must soon be disposed
of, either for the purpose of which it was in
tended and is fitted, or for other uses. It can
he obtained for one-fourth of the cost of new
ground as well located, and the opportunity
should not be lost. The County Agricultural
Society should be supported in its effort TO se-
cure these grounds and to revive the county
fair. The town fairs might for once be merged

Since the formation of the organization of
the Sons of Veterans considerable embarass-
ment has been caused by the fact that there
have been two active bodies in the field, COM
posed of the SONS of the boys in blue. This
has led to some confusion. and the Grand
Armyshas not hitherto deemed it best to rec
ognize either organization. At it's last regular
meeting, however, the department of New
Hampshire instructed its delegates to vote for
the recognition of the Sons of Veterans of the
