And Marse Phil in answer to the look in
Fish of the bahamas.

The fish alone are remarkable in va
riety. Among them are the black fish,
the ~porpoise, which seems to tumble
about in all waters; the shark, the
deadly foe of the sailor; the dolphin, in
endless pursuit of the delicate flying fish
which scuds through the air because it is
chased, and not because it enjoys it, which
same dolphin is never cooked aboard a
vessel unless a silver half dollar is put in
the pot, for if the half dollar blackens
then the dolphin is full of poison from
having sucked copper from ship bottoms;
the whipray, like the founder and with a
tail like a coachman's whip, sometimes
ten feet long; the Jewish, which is to
these waters as the halibut of our north
east coast; the yellow tailed snapper, gil
gantic turtles, the catfish, the groupa,
striped snapper, bonito, Spanish mackerel,
angel fish, porkfish, houndfsh, and suck
ing fish.
Then there is that dread mystery to
seamen, the Portuguese man of war, that
strange formation of maritime life, like q
mass of jelly with it's ventral fins extend
ing in every direction, riding the heaviest
seas like a bird, and which sea folk say is
a deadly poison to the touch; the starfsh,
sea urchins, the humming bird fish, the
phosphorescent jellyfsh or glow worm of
the ocean, and other wonderful and start
lingly colored mites of these waters; be-
sides tiny and grottoes of white
coral, where the sponges, like dark forests,
are forever swaying with the endless mo-
tion of the tides, and where nestle and
hide sea fans, the rainbow fish, conches
containing priceless pearls and such deli
cate elfs of the ocean as we of the land
can only imagine through fairy lore or
the witchery of dreams.-Edgar L. Wake

FAIRIES WASHING.

Eager and glad to the house she ran,
With a smile on her upturned face;
''You never can guess what I've found, mamma
o, thousands of bits OF lacel
THE fairies have done their washing, | know,
It's out on the orchard grass,
And it's spread so close there is hardly room
For even a bird to pass.
81 picked up this fairy handkerchief,
wanted to show it to you"
She opened her hand-O, the sorrowful facet
There was only a drop of dew.

aPECIALrara

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention TO this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
to relieving the amicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benetactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close ap-
plication eXcels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
Is dawnIng when the fHise phtianttrUphy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, to die uncared
for, has passed away.

MIDDLE-AG ED MEN.
There are many men of the age of 80 to go who
are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder often accompanied by a slight
smarting or burning sensation and a weaken

not account for. On examining the urinary de
posits a ropy dinner will often be found, and
sometimes small particles of albumen will ap-
pear, or the color will be of akin or milkish
hue, again changing to a dark and turbid ap-
pearance. There are many men who die of
this difficulty ignorant of the cause, which is
the second stage of seminal weakness. DIR.

RAILROAD DEALS.
Evidently Great Deal OF 1t Going On
Over the Southern Lines.

Evidently Great Deal OF 1t Going On
Over the Southern Lines.
There is evidently a great deal Of manip-
ulation among southern railroad managers
just now.
The latest is a deal which will affect the
East Tennessee system, the Richmond &
Danville system and the Norfolk & West
ern. The following from the New York
Erenh'g Post may givea better idea Of what
is proposed:
Negotiations are in progress for trans
fer OF the Richmond Terminal company's
holdings OF a controlling interest in the
first preferred stock of the East Tennessee,
Virginia x Georgia TO the Norfolk &
Western. In January, 1887, the Rich
mond Terminal company bought OF private
individuals 81, 500, 900 out Of the total Of
sll 900, 900 OF the Fast Tennessee, Virginia
x Georgia first preferred stock. The pur-
chase was made because under the terms OF
the reorganization OF the East Tennessee,
Virginia q Georgia in 1856 IL was stipu-
lated that the first preferred stock is en-
titled TO 8 per cent. non-cumulative divi-
dend, and also the right for five years to
elect majority of the board OF directors,
unless before the end Of five years the com.
pany should pay out of its net earning
per cent dividends on the first preferred
stock for two successive years" This
stipulation, it was assumed, gave the ma.
j0rity OF the first preferred stock the con-
troll OF the entire Fast Tennessee K Geor-
gia system for five years, because is was in
the power OF this majority TO prevent the.
payment OF 3 per cent dividends for two
successive years. In 1887 per cent divi-
dends were paid But now IL is claimed
that majority OF the executive committee
arc in favor Of declaring per cent. at the
meeting OF directors, which Is being post
poned from day to day while the first
mentioned negotiations are pending. The
Richmond Terminal company has never
been able to secure the business from the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia which
WAS expected. There was an utilization Of
personal interests between parties inter-
ested in the East Tennessee and in the'
Norfolk & Western, which has thrown
the East Tennessee business mainly.
over the Norfolk & Western. 80 that
the East Tennessee stock has really been
Of no benefit 10 the Richmond Terminal
company. Nevertheless, that company
naturally wants to make use of its present
control TO get as high price rs possible
from the Norfolk & Western, and part Of
It's policy IL to oppose the per cent. divi.
dend until good price is offered for its
East Tennessee stock. II the transfer Ia
finally made, il will be Of great benefit To
all three of the properties concerned, be-
cause II insures harmony among nearly all
the roads in that part Of the country.

Shooting and Disorder In the Neigh

The neighborhood OF Prospect park
is achieving an unenviable notoricty.
Every Sunday scenes are enacted there
that call Tor the int ryention Of the
police authorities, and last night was no
exception 10 the rule Last night, but for
the seli.restfaint and nerve OF Deputy
Sheriff ID. ;. Burks, a tragedy would surely
have been enacted.
II appears that one J. w. Wright. n gro

Prospect park. and while under the influ-,
encc oi liquor painted the park red. lie
flourishCd his pistol about, dan,d anybody
10 arrest him. and engineered a small re-
tail riot, limited. Deputy sheriff Burks
started 10 arrest him, but Wright
lcvcled his pistol at him and
deiied arrest. Burks then drew his pistol
and advanced on Wright, when the laiter's
little boy jumped IN front Of the officer
and prevented his shooting Wright In the
leg ms he intended TO do TO effect his cap
turc. Attracted by the sight of the officer
advancing ON an armed man. the crowd.
rushed between them and the rioious gro
ceryman escaped.
Earlier in the evening Deputy Shcrilsl
Burks and Cash surprised party 81
negroes playing craps. The negroes ran'
aud the officers gave chase. One Of tho
ingitiyes fired rs he nan, but the officers
wisely RETAINED from returning the fire,
and the negroes escaped.
