We are indebted to Hon. M. Stuart
for copy of his address, . read before
the State Bar Association of Ohio. at
Putin Bay, in July, 1888, upon the
Life of the late Judge Rufus Payne
Epaulding." Probably no man living
is better qualified to estimate the char
acter and ability of Judge Spaulding
than the gentleman to whom was as
signed the reading of the above paper.
That it was :" labor of love-" may be
xsthered from the following in his
admirable address:
"To give the life. e.work of one who,
for more than half century was a
leading lawyer-judge, politician and
civilian would require more time
than would exhaust the indulgence
and good nature of this Association !;

the day of my admission TO the day of
his death, he was To me in every sense
a foster-father, giving me advice and
assistance with the same generosity
and earnestness that he did his own
Chill iren."
Aside from its value as tribute to
the distinguished subject of his ad,
dress, it is of great interest in perusal,
in its local and personal recital in re-
lation to prominent persons and incl
dents in the earlier days of the bar, in
which Judge Spauldihg was leading
parsonage.
Mr.. Stuart is in receipt of many fat
tering testimonials of appreciation of
his address, from leading members of
the bar in this and many other States.

Commission recently to investigate
certain reports that had gained wide
circulation concerning the Doolittle
cheese factory and the dairy conducted
by Mr.. Weaver's tenant, Mr.. Gember

standing should have been a sufficient
denial OF the whole matter. However.
a late article in the Press, together
with second appeal from Messrs Doo-

27th, to visit the factory.
Report said that Mr.. Gemberling had
a cabcerous COW, giving milk which
had been sent to the factory, and that
large amount of cheese had been c. n
demned. No complaint having been
made to the Commission, of course no
cheese was condemned. All cheese on

since the COW in question was killed.

An OId-Time GAMBLER.

This reference to Congressional i'm
morality reminds me that Robert l..
Teel, well-known character about
Washington for the last half-century,
died last night at the age Of seventy
six years. He was the leading gam
bier Of this city in ante-bellum times,
and his gambling-house was the resort
OF all the great men of the last genera
ton, who were not 50 particular about
their morals and habits as are those of
the present age. Daniel Webster,
Henry Clay, John Q. Calhoun,
Humphrey Marshall, Chief Justice
Taney, Allen McLane and hundreds
OF other men, whose names are almost
as we'll known, were the regular pat
rons OF Mr.. Teel's gambling house,
and the Congressman and Senators
not only staked their salaries and
their mileage, but their watches in
their pockets and the slaves on their
plantations at home. Robert Toombs
is said to have lost $4,000 in Mr..
Teel's establishment at a single sit
ting, and there is legend that
Humphrey Marshall once won $50, 1000
in night. Daniel Webster was not
regular but a reckless player, and
always won. Henry Clay played for
the fun OF the thing and the excite
ment, but his stakes were usually
small. When James Buchanan was
in the Senate he visited Teel's place
frequently in company with his friend
and crony, Beverly Tucker, who is
still limping around Washington, and
even so good man ~ General Win
field Scott often wandered in for an
evening. Mr.. Teel has repeatedly
said that Jefferson Davis was never in
his house, and that he did not know
one card from nother.-Milwauket

THE SILVER CAPTAIN.
A Lucky Dream that Made the For.
time of Admiral DIgby.

The following story has been an-
thenticated by the present Lord
Digby: On October II, 1893, Admiral
Sir Henry Digby, commanding the
frigate Alomene, shaped his course for
st. Vincent, and was running to the
southwark in the latitude of Cape
Finisterre. At IL O'Clock at night Sir
Henry rang his bell to summon the
officer OF the watch, and asked him /:
How are we steering?" "South-
southwest, sir" was the reply.
What sort of weather?' "The
same, sir, as when you left the deck I;
fine, strong breeze; starlight night"
Are we carrying the same sail as at
sunset ?" " Yes, sir; double reefed
topsails and foresail." Digby looked
at the officer Of the watch attentively
Tor a moment and then asked him
whether, TO his knowledge, any one
had entered the cabin. 81 believe
not, sir" was the reply, but / will
inquire of the sentry" "Sentry"
exclaimed the officer of the watch,
" has there been anybody in the Cap
tain's cabin ?" I" No, sir; nobody"
" Very odd, "rejoined Digby. al was
perfectly convinced that | had been
spoken to-" The officer of the watch
then left the cabin and returned to the
quarterback At 2 in the morning
the Captains bell was again rung-
the same questions repeated and the
same answers given. Most extraor-
dinary thing" said the Captain.
" Every time i dropped asleep heard
somebody shouting in my ear: Dig
by Digbyl go TO the northward.' /
shall certainly do so. Take another
reef in your topsails-haul your wind
tack every hour till daybreak, and
then call me-" The officer of the
watch acted in strict accordance with
these sh haDge orders. When relieved,
at \. NJ. by the officer OF the morn
ing watch that officer expressed great
astonishment at finding the ship on a
wind. What is the meaning of
this ?" he inquired. Meaning" said
the other. 1.-THE Captain has gone
stark, staring mad, that's all, and he
told his story, at which they both
laughed heartily. There being no help
for it, these strange orders were
strictly obeyed, and the frigate was
tackled at 4, at 5, at 8, and at 7 O'Clock
She had just come round for the last
time when the man at the masthead
called out, Large ship on the
weather bow, sir" On nearing her,
a musket was discharged to bring her
to. She was promptly boarded, and
proved to be Spanish vessel laden
with dollars, and a very rich cargo to
boot. By this prize the fortunate
dreamer secured a large portion Of the
great fortune which he had amassed
in the naval service. According to
Lord Digby-the son of the Silver
Captain-the prize was SO valuable
that each midshipman's share Of the
prize money amounted to 81, l,000.-|

the Congressman told the waiter to

fe \ minuts there tripped gaily into

had fallen upon the child. Sure

within four feet of her face, she said
she could not read even the largest

all indicated extreme myopia. Finally
the doctor took her into his darkened

upon reflector is reflected into the

WHEELS STOPPED ny FISH.
sfrnnzc Phenomena in a nill-raes
Fishing with Bags. Baskets
and Buckets.

A Des Moines Qowa) special to the
New York World says: An unusual
event occurred in the Des Moines
River at Bonaparte, Van Buren,
county. There is a dam across the
river there, and no water passes
through it, the only escape being
through the mill-race and the water
wheels. For the past few days all
kinds Of fish-black bass, bugalo, blue
cat, yellow cat, mud cat, salmon, pike,
rock bass and all the varieties of fish
in this stream-filled the mill-race so
full that the powerful wheels of the
mills we're stopped by them.
An eyewitness writes: "The peo-
pie Of the town turned out en- masse
with rakes and hoes, and took out fish
by the tub, basket and bag full, and
now everybody has fish and TO spare.
They are of all sizes and varieties, ten
to twelve-pound catfish and buffalo be-
ing frequent. The fish have been
crushed by hundreds in the wheels,
and thousands have been carried
away by the people. The run is sup
posed to have been on account OF the
severe weather having frozen the up
per river and creeks to the bottom and
the fish seeking deeper water or breaks
in the ice for more air. The mills were
closed, the wheels stopped and race
wickets opened yesterday to permit
the fish to pass through and empty the
race"
AS an evidence OF the number of the
fish, the race which they crowded for
two days in succession, is about 800
feet long and so to rs feet wide, and
about 10 or IL feet deep. Bonaparte
is famous fishing ground. In Win
ter holes are cut into the ice and cat
fish weighing from five to seventy-five
pounds are speared in large numbers.
In the springtime netting is resorted
to with great success, and in May and
June the bass fishing with hook and
line is superb. Then comes midsum-
mer for the big channel catfish, to
land which by hook and line requires
skillful work. But perhaps best of all
is the land-locked salmon fishing in
September and October.
