MENHADEN PIRATES AT WORK.
They Capture a sloop Load of Drum
Fish on Brigantine.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., July 8.-The
Menhaden fishing sloop Charles Harvey,
of Little Egg Harbor, arrived to-day at
the inlet, having Il large number OF drum
fish, just now many viii never be known.
Some were sold at the inlet aud others
to spectators, who carted them through
the city. 1t is believed that but a
small portion Of the ish were landed,
as the Captain declined to make
any statement of the number caught, CIV
ing as mis- reason therefor that the Hewspa-
pers had already made too much fuss over
the Menhaden fishermen. One Of the crew,
however, stated that the school of drum
fish was sighted Off Brigantine shoals,
and was about an acre in area. All of the
fish were on top OF the water and gave it
reddish appearance. The net was run
through the middle of the school, and was
literally lull, and enough tish were in it
to have loaded a three masted schooner.
The FISH ran from thirty 10 sixty pounds
in weight and sold at an average Of 81 80
each. There is much indignation among
the local fishermen over the matter.

DOES GOLD GROW?
A Vein of the Precious Metal in a
Fortified Tree.
LlaQNin Miller IA ChieaQl 7Ymes.

Joaquin Miller in Chicd00 Times.
Years ago | wrote and published in a
London magazine an article in which l
undertook to prove that gold grows
grows the same as grain or potatoes or
anything else. / reckon | did my work
crudely, not knowing anything about
chemistry or even the ordinary terms of
expression about such matters, and SO
my earnest and entirely correct sketch
was torn all to pieces and laughed to
scorn.
Well, | have at last found positive proof
of my statement right here in these noun
tains by the Pacific sea. Briefly and SIM
ply, have found piece OF petriied wood
with a little vein or thread of gold in it,.
How did that gold get IN this piece Of
wood? Was 1t placed there by the finger
of God on the morning of creation, as
men have claimed was the case with the
gold found in the veins OF the mountains.
Nonsense!
Gold grows! Certain conditions Of the
air, or certain combinations of earth, air
and water. and whatever chemicals may
be required, and then rock, a piece Of
quartz, or petriiied tree for the gold to
grow in, aud there Is your gold crop! or
course, gold grows slowly. Centuries
upon centuries, it may be, are required to
make the least sign OF growth. But 1t
grows just as | asserted years ago; and
here at last hold in my hand such testi-
mony AS no man In this world Will be rash
enough TO question: Il portion OF petri-
fed tree with thread OF gold in it.

PAY FOR PAWS WIDOW.
A Reminiscence of the Inflated
Greedy Expedition,

A Reminiscence of the Inflated
Greedy Expedition,
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The efficiency
bill now under consideration in the House
contains provision allowing Lila N.
Pavy, widow of DR.. Octave Pavy, of the
Greedy expedition, the balance of pay
found due him on account of the fiscal
year 1884, and prior years, amounting to
81, 500 The House Committee on PEN
sions has already reported tavorably a
bill to place Mrs. PaVy on the pension
list. In its report the committee says
that while DR.. Pavy was not regularly
enlisted with the Greedy expedition,
Lieut.. Greedy contracted with him at God
Haven, Greenland, to go with the party
as its surgeon, and that he acted in that
capacity until June 30, 1888, when the
contract was annulled.
Aug. 8, 1888, Pavy was placed under ar
rest and remained so until he died OF
starvation June 6, 1884. The report says
that the cause of his arrest will probably
never be known, but that although the
contract had been annulled and the sur
ge0n was under arrest. he continued to
exercise the duties OF his Office until his
death. The committee finally comes to
the conclusion that there was an implied
contract and that Mrs. Pavy ought TO have
pension. Mrs. Pavy, who has been
teaching school near Cincinnati for sew
eral years, has gone to Europe.

Saloon Keepers Selling by the Quart
Under Wholesale Licenses.
ATLANTA, July Spy a shrewd move
of the liquor men Atlanta went wet again
to-day. 1t appears that number Of I'M
expired wholesale licenses are held in the
city, and retailers either bought them or
made arrangements so as to use them.
The Kimball House opened saloon on
the Decatur street side and is selling
LIQUOR. wine and beer by the quart. To-
day the place was crowded with beer
drinkers, and the sales were heavy The
beer thus sold was drank in an old
can, and there probably never was
such a quantity drank under the
old regime. The Bonanza saloon, a few
steps of, secured wholesale license and
began the sale OF beer, which was placed
on the counter in quarts and drank there.
Tomorrow three more retailers who have
bought uneXpIred wholesale licenses will
open M. and it is probable that plenty of
whisky and beer will be for sale till
October. The prohibitionists have been
alarmed and exercised over the situation,
and will try to break it up. AT present
they are undecided what to do.

niture as would set up beggar, for IL
shillings.
Morning Herald, April 10, 1S02.-A
butcher sold his wife by auction at the
last market day at Hereford. The lst
brought Fl As. and a bowl of punch.
Annual Register, Feb. ii. 1S06.--A
man named John Garsthorpe exposed
his wife for sale in the market at Hull,
about one o'clock, but owing to the
crowd which such an extraordinary oc-
currence had brought together he was
obliged to defer the sale and take her
away about four clock. However, he
again brought her out, and she was
