A GAME HE COULD PLAY BULLY.

"Will you play something, Mr.. Dob
bins?" asked Johnny OF his big sisters
beau one evening.
"But, my little man, I don't know
how, responded Adolphus, kindly.
"You do, too" protested Johnny.
"Maud said there WAS something you

did she?' with pleased smile.
"What did Miss Maud say 1 could

Our Shad Fisheries

read q paper before the Biological
Society of Washington, giving inrer,
esting statistics concerning the sh"d
fisheries of the Atlantic asst. He
shows that IN the AREA mentioned t.,
age rega'e catch IN 1880 was 3 81 ,:iic.
and IN 1885 ALTO l54 the Increase
being nearly 8 per cent or 05O,OO0
pounds, and the value 81 tn increase

in he Hudson river the Delaware
bay and the Chesapeake bay cut
side the mouths Of the large rivers.
In the Su quehanna river there was
a decrease Of sixty five end a half
per cent and in the Potomac river
decrease Of seventy four per cent.
the aggregate decrease in Maryland
waters in the catch Of 1885 being
twenty one per cent. The reason
assigned by Col. Mcdonald for the
decrease of shad in the rivers we
have named is the extensive use of
pound nets in the Chesapeake bay.
In he Hudson. the Delaware and thu
James rivers. where the catch of>had
in 1875 was largely in excess of that
Of 1890. no pound nets were used.
The catch IN the SuSquehanna was
6l4, 1000 in 1880 in 1885 it declined
10 2l2 600. In the Potomac, in lsS
the catch wa $50 O57 in 1885 49,
597. I'm 1880 there were in the
Chesapeake hay 1870 pound nets set
in the track followed by the shad
along the Western Shore and through
these the shad had to run gauntlet
up to the mouths o. the river; now
there are / 500 ponnd nets occupy
ing the Yves ern Shores Of the bay
and excluding the fish from the fresh
waters" The effect of this is to in
tercept the fish before they reach
their spawning grounds, and to so
diminish production, wherever pound
nets are used, as would ultimately
lead to the extinction of shad in
those waters if the annual loss large.
lv accrulng from this cause were not
made up by the practice of artificial
propagation. which has been going
on for some years past. Before 1877
the shad was entirely taken in fresh
water. Now one half are caught in
salt water. all the latter and q part
OF the former being taken before
they can reach their spawning
grounds. The destruction of the
supply by the use Of the pound nets is
therefore immense, and if our fisher
les are not to TAIL altogether they
can only be maintained by keeping
up the supply by artificial propagat-
ion Or by adopting the law Of New
York which prohibits the use of
p"und nets. In conclusion, lie says,
IF all shad were excluded from our
rivers for three or four years without
artificial propagation the species
would be exterminated.' His ex

An Old Fashioned Hail

From the Athens (Ga.) B tnns~ Wttchman.
Ii IS an old fashioned structure, built
lon. before the war, but IN excellent re-
pair. It's walls are constructed OF two log
pens, made OF great trees bewn fiat and
doye-taiIed together, one built within the
other. Between these two houses are no.
right pine poleS, stood on end, and TIE
space filed with them. In the event that
a prisoner succeeded cutting hole in a
log, the poles will keep dropping down
and fill the space securely again. There
is Notwithstanding on the outside. This
is the old time way OF building lails, but
there is none more secure. A dozen pri-
soners will escape from one OF these
modern structures OF plank and iron to
one from the log and pole buildings. The
entrance to the jail is through huge double
locked doors OF that wood and iron thu,
force Of Roman battering ram. You
then enter O passage. There are two
rooms to the jail, an upper one that is
very well lighted and ventilated, and used
in old times for r debtors prison. The
lower room is "A dark and dismal dungeon,
almost equaling the Black Hole OF CAL
cuIta, where the doors are closed, even at
midday. You can't see an inch before
your face. and the only ventilation comes
from little aperture overhead that casts
dim ray OF light. 1t is indeed torture TO
person TO be kept confined here, al
though Mr.. overly tells us that the pupils
of the eye will at length grow accustomed
TO the darkness, aud he once had negro
who was confined there long time who
could thread "a needle. Only the most
desperate persons, however, are kept here
during the day.

In the process Of drying grass into hay,
most OF the volatile oils which give green
heritage its delicate flavor ana udor are
lost. But sone farmers have found that
putting clover and other grasses in barns
while rather green and mixing with them
enough dry straw 10 absorb moisture, not
only preserves the flavor IN the hay but a
portion is communicated TO the straw,
making it much better for mich cows. IL
is not impossible that farmers may yet
take to sowing sweet vernal grass for the
sole purpose of flavoring their winters
supplies of dry hay or straw.

distinguished Literary Visitors.

The barkentine Makah, which arrived
here from Newcastle, Australia, on
Monday morning last, brought two we'll
known journalists to our shores, Mr.
Harry w. Emmett and Mr.. Arthur Brans-
combe. Both have visited the whole of
Australia and New Zealand as writers
and actors, for they combine dramatic
with literary abilities. Mr.. Emmett was
business and literary manager for the
great George Augustus Sala during his
Australasian tour, and Mr.. Brans-
combe was prominent member of the
staff of the London "Daily Telegraph"
Both of these gentlemen have supported
Miss Genevieve Ward, and they are now
on their way to San Francisco to produce
an original five-act society play which
they have written during their voyage
from Australia. They are equally popu
lar as vocalists and comedians, and as
they will stay here month, they may
be induced to give us one or two of
their original entertainments before they
leave. By the courtesy of Captain
Thompson, whose vessel made the phe-
nomenally smart passage of forty-eight
days, these gentlemen were enabled to
call at several islands on their way here,
collecting valuable information for the
series OF writings which is partly the OBJ
ject of their present trip.

The Wizard OF the North.

The box plan for the sale of seats for
the first entertainment by Professor
Anderson tomorrow evening is open
and already large number have been
disposed of. The programme to be pre-
scented on this occasion is long and
varied one, and will introduce many
wonderful tricks never before seen in
this city. Professor Anderson's reputa-
ton as a magician is worldwide and
needs no comment. Madame Louise
Maude Anderson will appear in her
marvellous clairvoyance. Her peculiar
clairvoyant powers became developed at
an early age and she has caused great
interest and amusement in Royal circles
by her wonderful predictions OF the
future, which have faithfully come to
pass. The Princess of Wales once said
to Madame Anderson at party at MARI
borough House, "Ah, l little thought
when you so clearly depicted the features
and style Of my children, and several
circumstances that have since come to
pass precisely as you saw 1t in your
trance, that you would be exhibiting this
power in public"

An Elegant Reception.

Last evening a reception was given
by Mr.. and Mrs. T. r. Walker at theil
residence, King street, in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. Theo. II. Davies, who, with
their family, leave at the end of the
month for England. The front of the
house was most brilliantly illuminated
with cOlored lanterns, and the grounds
were lit up with an endless variety Of
lanterns, the whole effect being very
pleasant to the eye. The interior of the
house was decorated with flags and
beautiful bouquets OF flowers. The Royal
Hawaiian Band was stationed on the
lawn in front of the house and discoursed
excellent music throughout the evening.
Among those present were Her Royal
Highness Princess Liliuokalani, His Ex-
cellency Governor J. o. Dominis, Hon
a. $. CleghOrn, Hon. \. +. Judd, Chan
cellOr of the Kingdom, and Mrs. Judd
His Excellency Hon. Geo. W. Merrill
United States Minister Resident, and
Mrs. Merrill II. B. Ms Commissioner
Major J. II. Wodehouse and Mrs. Wode-
house, His Hon. Mr.. Justice McCully,
Hons. G.. r. Bishop and Samuel Parker,
His Honor Police Justice Bickerton and
Mrs. Bickerton, Mr.. VIM. q. Irwin and
Miss Irwin, Rev Alexander and Mrs
Macintosh, Rev. George and Mrs. Wal
lace, Rev. E. c. and Mrs. Oggel, and a
large number of our prominent society
people
The reception took place in the front
parlor. 1t was a great pleasure to all
present to see Mrs. Davies looking so
remarkably well after her long and
serious illness. Indeed, the remark was
frequent that this most estimable lady
was never looking SO well as she did last
evening, and the general wish expressed
was that the voyage to England would
fully restore her health, and that she
might be spared for many years to come.
After the reception a bountiful supply of
refreshments were served and the re-
mainder OF the evening spent in social
conversation. The genial host and
hostess were assiduous in their atten-
tons to their numerous guests, and the
reception will take rank as one of the
prominent events of the season.
