the crew of vessel that is being rapid

'When the mackerel fleet fished with
hand-lines the pursuit of this industry
was often attended with much excite

Character i'm Handwriting o..

There are people who claim to read
mems characters from their writing.
AS the writing of every nation is dis
tinguished by certain strong national
peculiarities, it is easy for an expert to
decide to what nation writer belongs.
Having settled that, certain large char
acteristics which are common to all
men, but in different degrees, catl be
seen in every handwriting. A certain
number of men are calm, even-lived,
sensible, and practical. Men of that
class are almost certain to write plain,
round hands in which every letter is
distinctly legible; neither very much
slanted forward, nor tilted backward;
no letter very much bigger than its
neighbor, nor with heads much above
or tails much below the letters not so
distinguished; the letters all having
about the same general uprightncss, and
the lines true to the edges of the paper.
neither tending upward. Exact, bust
ness-like people will have an exact
handwriting. Fantastic minds revel in
quirks and streamers, particularly for
the capital letters, and this quality is
not infrequent in certain business
hands, as if the writers found relief
from the prosaic nature of their work in
giving hourishes to certain letters. Firm,
decided, downright men are apt to bear
on the pen while writing, and to make
their strokes hard and thick. On the
contrary, people who are not sure of
themselves, and are lacking in self-con-
troll, press unevenly, and with anxious
looking, scratchy hands. Ambitious
people are apt to be overworked; they
are always in haste and either forget to
cross their is, or dot their is. They
are also apt to run the last few letters of
every word into an illegible scrawl
Hurried, troubled, and conscience
twinged persons have Grabbed and
uneven handwriting.-Henry Eckford,

The Gloucester Fishing Fleet.

From an article by Franklin ID. North,
in the October Century, we quote this
incident: There is always great rival
ny among the vessels of the fishing fleet,
for the skipper who catches the most
fish is 'high-line,' a title of no little
consequence on the Banks as well as on
Cape Ann. The attributes of high
line man are iron nerve, fearlessness,
ay, recklessness or perfect contempt
for danger or death itself. No doubt
there il such factor rs luck that goes
to make up that sum Of qualities which,
taken together. produce this specimen
of manhood; but it is not counted upon,
and is that description of luck that ut
tends the hero of hundred holly con-
tested fields, in all of which he reckless
ly exposes himself. II is said that the
greatest 'high-line' of the haddocking
fleet between January and n May
landed 800, 900 fish of all kinds, valued
at $24,300. Each of his crew of four
teen men received nearly eighty dollars
per month after all expenses were paid.
''The struggle for the honor of high
line.' besides encouraging the Banker
to battle with the tempest, sometimes
necessitates q resort to subterfuge in
order to prevent another from dividing

Senator Kenna and others were

Senator Kenna and others were once
fishing in West Virginia. A sudden
rain had muddied the water, and bass
were not feeding. One of the party had
caught three catfish, each size or two
larger than the other. He strung them,
putting the largest fish on the string and
at the bottom, then the next in size, and
the smallest on the top. and then tied
them in the water, intending to take
them in the boat upon the return home.
Several hours later, when the party re-
turned, they found that while upon the
string the second fish had attempted to
swallow the small one, and had sue
ceeded in taking him in up to the fins;
and the largest, at the bottom of the
string, had endeavored to make q meal
off his next neighbor.

Soldiers, Attention /!

From the columns of the National

following article showing the work
done for the "brave boys in blue"
by Hon. r. G. Horr, while in Con-
gress, and which we commend to the
undivided attention of every man
who wore the "blue" during the dark
days of the Rebellion, and to the sons
of the veterans as we'll as TO every

wassee county:
A SOLDIERS FRIEND IN THE FIELD.
Among the soldiers friends upon
whom they can at all times rely in
Congress is the Hon. Roswell G..
Horr, Of Michigan, recently nomin-
ated by acclamation in his district
convention. During his six years
service in the House of Representa-
tives, when champion was needed
for any measure in behalf of the
Union soldiers, he was always ready
to respond, and, what was more, he
was one of the very few men to whom
the House would listen on any occa-
sion. This is distinction not enjoyed
by over half a dozen among the gas
Members, and made Mr.. Horn an
invaluable advocate on the floor.
He not only always talked right, but
he never hesitated to vote also as he
talked. In the 4Sth Congress Mr..
Horr was especially conspicuous in
heading off and efectually putting
quietus upon legislation which dem
agogues, who wished to curry favor
with the soldier hating press of the
country, were upon the point of rush
ing through.
Mr.. Horr's exposure OF the falla
cious scheme was so efficacious then
that in the present Congress the sol.
diers' enemies had to invent a new
device, this time known as the "Mor-
rison resolution" to create a special
tax to pay pensions. Such PROPOSE.
tons as this always reused in Mr..
Horr an exhibition of his best vim as
a matcbless debater, and when he
had scarifed the cuticle and uncover
ed the real inwardness of the enemy's
project, it was invariably covered
with derision or allowed to stink into
obscurity.
The veterans of Mr.. Horr's district
owe it 10 themselves and to their
comrades all over the country to see
to it that he is returned to his old
place in the next Congress. 1t is not
in every district that there is such an
opportunity to secure the representa-
tion of the soldier element by the
election of such well tried Member
of The House. Make no mistake,
comrades. Your interests are at stake
in every seat of the goth Congress. fl
majority are your friends your cause
is won, and this cause should be your
your only polite and decide your
ballot. Let there be unity among
the soldiers as there is among their
enemies. That accomplished once,
and the battle is won.
