TackIing q Devil Fish.

Some years ago some devil fish APP
peared In a harbor where several
schooners were lying, and the
sailors, who were Swedes and had nev.
er seen one Of the fish before, saw
them playing around in the harbor,
and thought it would be a good joke
to spear one. So they took a light
skif and a pair of old whale harpoon,
and ropes that belonged TO schooner
and started out, and were Joined by
the other boats. In a short time one
of the boats got alongside of a sea-bat
and a rouser it was, too. When they
struck it you'd have thought the
whole bottom had been hit, ana a sec.
ond later that boat was rushing up the
harbor at a rate she had never went
before. 1t was a blind lead, though,
and the fish had to turn, and the skih
was jerked around so quickly that She
half filled. and n man was tumbled
overheard.
Up the channel they went, some
yelling for the boat and others to cut
the line as it was evident that she
would Oil in a moment; but it happen.
ed that the only man who had a knife
had been dropped overheard, and a
they couldn't get the line united, they
had to let it go. They said afterward
they were about to Jump overheard
and let everything 60. when the fish
changed its course and headed right
for n Of the s%chooners. They had t
jump then, anyhow, and. as they went
overheard. the fish dived under tn,
vessel. and the skiff struck her sid,
with a crash, and was knocked all te
pieces. The end plank, as they found
out later, to which the line was made
fast, went off with the fish. The men
were picked up. and two days later
the devil fish loated ashore. It meas
ured eighteen feet across, and wa.
estimated to weigh a ton.-New York

The Calprit Cadets.

A cadet has been writing his remin-.
iscences of military life at West Point,
for the New York San. He winds
up with this good story:
One beautiful June morning during
examination days all the cadets, ex-
cept those under fire from the acade-
mic board, were in their quarters.
Two Of them occupying a room in the
third division overlooking the plain,
were engaged in a discussion as to the
probability of an inspection of quar-
tiers that morning. They finally
agreed, as it was examination time, no
inspection would take place, and
accordingly blankets and pillows were
thrown on the floor, the uncomforta-
bic dress coats were cast aside. and
uniform trousers soon followed suit.
Pipes were lighted, and all necessary
arrangements for the passing of a hot
morning comfortably were consum-
mated. So busily were they engaged
in conversation that they did not hear
the tap of the inspecting officer on the
doors of the rooms near their own.
Suddenly a sharp rap came upon the
door, which opened to admit, not the
company's regular inspecting officer.
but the commandant Of cadets him
self, accompanied by no less an
august parsonage then Gen. Buell..
Both cadets from force of habit
sprang to their feet and stood at at
tention, only wishing that the floor
might open and swallow them. One
was dressed in a shirt and 8 single
sock, in which costume he had one
sock the better of his comrade.
The pipes had been hurridly thrown
under the clothes press. but the tell
tale smoke was wreathing their heads
in rings. Gen. Buell. was, at best, a
solemn looking, taciturn man, but on
this occasion he had hard work to pre-
serve his dignity. The commandant
was furious, and took pains to impress
upon the General that one Of the cul-
prits had once been suspended from
the Academy, and that the other was
by no means an angel. The next day
separate reports for smoking, not
being in full dress during call to quar-.
ters, and for having bedding on the
floor were made out in the command
ants name against each offender.

GOOD NEWS.
Let the Freeman Have All of 1t,

We learn of wonderful revival
meetings in progress in churches of
the different denominations in all
parts of the State.
The revival work grows in inter
est in the Parkersburg churches.
More than 60 conversions are re-
ported in meetings at st. Marys, So
at New Martinsville, and as many
more at Centerville, Tyler county 4;
remarkable meetings are reported
in Writ county, and 50 the tidings
come to US from all parts of the
State. This is all especially good
news for temperance people, for as
the churches rise, saloons go down.
In this line take
ONE STRIKING INSTANCE.
The Baltimore Pioneer says:
with undated interest the re-
vival of religion under the pastor
ate of Rev. Henry Baker, at Lena-
coming, Md, is still going on.
Three hundred and twenty-five
persons have protested conversion,
and more than $50 have j>ined the
NJ. E. Church. The depet-master
says: The freights here are falling
off terribly on the shipments Of
beer, and if this work goes on long
at this rate, the forty gin mills
here will be closed, and all their
former patrons will belong to the
M. E. Church.
SEND US THE NEWS.
We urge our friends of all de
! nominations to send the FREEMAN
short accounts of all these meet
ings, stating by whom conducted
number of conversions, and any
special features of the work.
Please don't fail to sead us al
this good news.

100000 Petitioners.

Next week we shall publish the
memorials, unanimously adopted
by the various Conferences, Asso-
Citations, Presbyteries &C., of the
different denominations of the
State, praying the Legislature to
submit the Prohibitory Amend
ment to a vote of the people. These
several bodies embrace more than
100000 Christian people of the
State and they are VIRTUALLY un-
animous in asking this boon at
hands of the Legislature. Surely
it will hear the united prayers of
all these.

intoxicating liquors as beverages.
The people throughout the nation
are in earnest in this matter, and
mean that prohibition shall pro.

irresponsible Lunacy.

Of all the newspapers of West
Virginia of all parties, not one is
opposed to the Submission Of the
Amendment, except that the
Wheeling Intelligencer, out of petty
spite, is advising members of its
party faith to unfriendliness to.
ward the measure. But then this
is bit of moral and political lun-
acy for which no reasonable person
should be held responsible.

NAMES.
Our Legislature.

A visit to Wheeling enabled me
to look in on the Legislature, take
old acquaintance by the hand, and
form new ones.
Nearly all are practical temper.
ance men, and quite a number,
Christians,
They are all logically on the
side of Prohibition yet all are not
ready to admit it, as some will vote
against su omission. Why, it would
be difficult to say. Every year it
becomes more difficult to give a
reason for being against Prohibi-
ton.
1t is rapidly becoming question
of National life and death.
Politics is honey -combed with
the saloon power, and law is dead
letter, wherever that power so or.
dams.
If the Amendment is not sub
mitted, very likely political reas
ons will be responsible. A MAORI
ty of the present Legislature are in
favor of submitting the Amend.
ment to vote of the people.
There is no doubt as to this, but
one man in either House can de-
feat it and therefore it is hard to
tell what the result may be.
The Prohibitionists of the State
must make immediate preparations
for great struggle. 1t is inevi-
table.
The field on which it is to occur
is not certainly known, now, but
will be in a few weeks.
The courage, the devotion, the
money, are available. No power
can stand against this righteous
Reform, and any power attempting
it, will be shattered by the ballots
of earnest, honest men, voting in
the fear of the Lord.
The Amendment has many
warm friends in both Houses who
will give it an enthusiastic support.
These will occupy grand po-
sition when the battle begins. Be.
hind them will be the prayers Of
Christian Ministers, Christian
Fathers and Mothers, and the NOR
al universe, the very Armies OF
Heaven will be near them. No
wonder they will be strong. W.

ONCE MORE, DEAR FRIENDS!
Another Dash with the Petitions!

We still keep the two Petitions
sta nding in the FREEMAN, so that
any friend can cut them out, get
as many names as possible and re-
turn promptly.
AS it will be some days yet be-
fore the Amendment will be dis
posed of in the Senate, we urge ev-
cry body to make another weeks
dash with the Petitions. Cut them
out, take them to Church, Sunday
School, every place-get all sign
ers you can and send to FREEMAN
by Feb. 4th. Now for another sud
cen shower of Petitions!

kind of giving that "doth not i'm
poverish," referred to in that bless
ed Book of safe securities. We are
very sure there would be more in
vestments in the Temperance cause
if our friends were only more ready
to go to the Bible for collaterals.
We confidently commend Bro.

would help in this righteous war

THE FIT TIME.
To Submit The Amendment.

We submit that mow is the fit
time to submit the Liquor ques-
ton to the people for settlement.
From every consideration we
can marshal and from every stand
point we can conceive, we insist
that for the settlement of this vex-
ing and vexatious quo ion, no
more fitting time could l. e been
chosen in the past and none so fit
ting can be hoped for in the future.
If the Prohibitory Amendment
be submitted now, the people will
have two "off years. free from the
entanglements and excitements of
National Campaign, in which to
calmly discuss and impartially de-
eide on the merits of the measure.
After both parties have said, let
the people decide it, neither party
need fear any harm from the dis
cussion and decision of the ques-
ton.
That the people will continue to
importune the Legislature till the
question is submitted, there is and
can be-no manner of doubt.
If the Legislature again refuse to
grant the peoples reasonable re-
quest, the question will be agitated
more and more and the issue will
and must be thrust into every cam
paign in every county and district
until Legislature is secured that
will hear and heed the will of the
people.
Why, then should these thous-
ands of petitioners be showed aside
and baffled longer2 Why shout :!
they be persissently ignored and
treated as no other petitioners were
ever treated? Why not at once
grant the petition and let the SOW
ereign voters of the State have the
vexed question and take the re-
sponsibility of its settlement?
Surely this is the fair, honest, po-
litic and righteous thing to do and
now is the fit time to do it. Let
the Legislature discuss and rightly
decide the question of submission.
Let the people discuss and decide
the question of adoption.

Significant Fact.

We believe that it is fact that
no member of the West Virginia
Legislature who voted against the
submission of the Prohibitory
Amendment to a vote of the peo-
pie, has ever been reelected to
either House. Whether this is a
significant fact, we leave others to
Judge.
