ONE of the commendable things done
by our unusually disreputable Legislature,
Is the submission OF a constitutional
amendment providing for the change of
the October state election TO November, so
as TO make both state and national elections
occur on the same day. The proposition
passed both houses with great unanimity,
and there is no doubt that in this measure
they represented very nearly the feeling OF
the people Oi the state, and that it will be
adopted by their votes at the ensuing cleo
ton.
Another deserving praise is the enact.
ment of law providing for the execution
of all criminals sentenced to death within
the walls of the penitentiary at Columbus
before sunrise in the morning, and before
the prisoners are released from their cells.
Only very limited number of spectators
are allowed. Thus the dangers and dis.
grace of apublic execution will be avoided.
And now II they would provide ior their
taking off by chloroform or by an electric
shock from dynamo, it would be in the
interests of economy and would abolish a
repulsive and barbarous custom that ought
TO have gone out before this. This sug.
gestion Is not prompted by sympathy with
the criminal, but because Of Its revolving
character and the brutalizing effect upon
those by whom the penalty of the law
must be executed. The object of the law +,
both as regards the effect upon the criminal
and society, is secured by the death of the
criminal, especially since the executions
are private and are far removed from the
scene of the commission of the crime.

THE New London Record is in error
with regard to the telephone. II is true
the business has suffered from the hard
times which has affected all branches Of
business, but il is all wrong in its compar.
ison of the expense Of messages with the
telegraph. A talk with Cleveland costs
the same as message, but the latter is
limited TO ten words and no reply, for 20
cents, while the former allows five minutes
conversation which includes the answer
and during which time two or three hun.
dred words may be passed over the line
The telegraph is from two to twenty times
more expensive. The telephone is one of
the greatest inventions Of this age, aud the
time is not far distant when every one
whose business requires II and all whose
circumstances will afford 1t, will have
them on account of their convenience and
without reference TO whether they are
necessity or not. Should business revive
as It soon will, the telephone will be more
general and popular than ever. Nothing
but the most urgent necessity will induce
a man 10 dispense with them after he has
been accustomed 10 their advantages, and
we are assured the falling off in number
Of subscribers will prove only temporary
matter.

The way the Arabs catch sharks is

somewhat similar to playing q heavy
salmon. only no rod Is used. A hook
of soft iron wire is made very sharp
and baited with q lump Of garbage OF

too rancid even for slave. and the
line, which is small and very slackly
spun, Is wound round for some little
distance from the hook with thin sheet

the other end is made fast TO huge
calabash which acts as fioat. When
a shark takes the bait he tOws the cal
abash about, but can not sink it for
any length of time. and the fisherman
set off after him in their canoe, and
when they get hold Of the line they
play their captive until be is actually
drowned. The shark that was now on
the hook was proving tartar, and be-
fore the two boats came near the
canoe which was playing with him was
capsized, and the half dozen men who
formed her crew thrown into tho water.

tenant and both boats dashed away,

ing with sharks, aud in q few minutes
the men were picked up and their
canoe righted. The Englshmen. like
all their nation, fond of sport, next
went after the float, which could be
seen being towed hither and thither as
the shark tried to free itself from the
incumbrance, but the Arabs, when they
saw their intention, shouted and ges-
ticulated to prevent them from doing
so, and second canoe put off from
the dhow to assist in playing the
shark. With some little trouble the
line was again secured, and after about
two hours hard work, during which
Johnny Shark several times nearly
mastered his captors, he was ut length
killed and dragged upon the rocks,
where the English, as he was such
huge monster, had the curiosity to
measure him, when he proved to be
the enormous length of thirty-three
feet ten inches. This was the largest
shark they had ever seen, though both
boats had had oars dashed at by the
ravenous brutes, and on one occasion
the same whaler, when boarding u
dhow at night from the ship, had her
rudder carried away by one. --Gentle-
