Some Go After Trout with Gun and

Mr.. Hatcher says: whenever felt
as if wanted trout for dinner I
would stroll over to the pond and bring
one down or up rather with my rifle.
Between eleven and twelve o'clock
at midday are the hours when they can
be shot, as for some unexplained rea-
son they come up near the surface. I
always aim for the head. No, the bali
never penetrates the head or any por-
ton Of the fish. 1t is seldom that even
scale is disturbed. The rife ball
never touches them. They are killed

l think, fattens the ball. Immedi-
ately upon being shot they rise to the
surface, floating upon their backs.

Clelland recently noticed that the fish
were dying by hundreds and rising to

and brought out from it fully five hun

one hundred Of them would weigh
eight pounds or over. They were
thrown upon the bank and the buz-
yards Toasted upon them. It is sus-
pected that persons to whom the owner
of the pond had refused the right to fish
from it had poisoned its water and with
it the finny life with which it teemed.
A lazy but unlawful method of OBJ

quite common among negroes and
others. This was Supplying or drug

this purpose was the devils shoe-strine.
a small plant with extremely long,
tough and slender roots. This queer
plant, with its uncanny name was much
used by the Indians as medicine, and
is SAID to be the basis for several blood

being obtained the negro finds a log

GEN. BUTLER ON THE RESULT.
He Says the South Will no Longer
Have a Dominating Influence
in Politics

Boston, Nov. Cen. Benjamin F.
Butler is in excellent spirits over the
result Of the election. He was asked
what in his opinion would be the out
come of the election, to which he re-
piled: "Oh, we have beaten the Eng
Iish, both in their attack upon our
manufacturers and trade and our
markets, and upon our fisheries.
These have been the issues of the
campaign, and the parties have been
England on one side led by Cleve-
land and West, and the American
people on the other side led by Har-
rison and those who agreed with him.
The outcome is particularly grateful
to me, because it settles the question
Of protection for many years to come
and still more grateful because the
questions between the north and
south are now settled forever. The
south, taking advantage of the
amount of power it gets because of
its negro population, in the house Of
representatives and in the electoral
college has tried with the help of the
city of New York, which dominates
that great state, to rule the north and
to recover what it lost by thew It
has .signally failed, and can never
make the attempt again, because in
the first place the next census, which
Will determine the representation in
congress and the electoral college,
will bring in so great an increase in
the states and territories of the west
and northwest that the south and
New York cannot govern the snation
any more; secondly, because by the
fourteenth amendment, whenever
congress finds that the freedmen made
voters are deprived of their political
rights the states in which that is done
can be deprived Of their political
powers. The north will no longer
tamely and foolishIy allow the south
to exercise the political power of the
/ negro vote and not let him vote.
''There is a single other thing that
I am glad to fnd-that this election
has demonstrated that the Irishmen
have found who there true friends
are. They are no longer to be de
ceived into afiliating with those who
claim to be their especial friends al
/ the very moment they are hObnObbing
and colleaguing with the English
government"

Money in the Campaign.

Money in politics, always money.
An almost frenzied appeal goes up
from every campaign committee for
money, and the bitter significance of
the demand is that the nearer the
close Of the contest the keener is the
demand for money. Newspapers are
found taking up the cry and pointing
specifically to places where, in the
language of Cakes Ames, it can do
the most good. The most good!
What is this money for? Can any
body observant of political methods
doubt? The money is wanted for
purposes of corruption. It is to be
employed in the direct purchase of
votes on the very day Of election in
the presence of the polls, which one
man distinguished in the political life
of America never approached with
the purpose Of depOsiting a ballot
without removing his hat. This was
an odd manifestation Of a sublims ff
feeling regarding the recognition of
the dignity of freemen evidenced by
the opening Of polls to receive their
ballots. 1t was an exaggeratiOn, but,
unusual as it was, singular as it might
appear, how happily it contrasts with
the conduct Of men who approach the
polls as a place where a record is
made of purchased majorities, where
votes are traffcked in as sheep are
bought at a stockyard!
That there are human creatures so
lost to the dignity of citizenship and
the decencies of manhood as to stand
ready to deliver their votes for a
money consideration is true. It is no
more than to assert that ignorance
and greed are found in a population
of more than sixty millions. But why
waste time in denunciation Of these
cankers Of citizenship. The shame
lessness that accepts the direct money
bride is callous to indignant reproba-
ton. Tempted, they fall, fall will
ingly without fear or remorse or any
sense of degradation. They might
plead, if they offered a defense, that
having no innate seIf-respect, no edu-
cation Of a moral sense, no knowledge
of issues, no care concerning results
that they embraced the chance to put
money in their pockets, and if blame
must fall upon the proceeding let il
fall upon the buyer, not the seller
The buyer creates the market. He is
/ intelligent. He knows that cOrrup
ton Of a voter is a crime against SO
ciety. He is reputable, well dressed

TN answer to several enquiries con-

have now in course of construction,
3 Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 32 feet

requiring little tact to set them up and
build. The full frame for such boats,
including cants, 10 sections in number,
is sold at $2S; with large stems on keel,
and ready to plank $40. They are not
intended to be clinker built, nor as the
frail imported whale boats proper, but
are intended for rough use and durabi-

trading purposes. We have exported
these frames and intend dong so, and
