Towed by q Cod.

A young man at Fort Popham the 9TH
er day caught cod which weighed prob
ably thirty pounds, and which he placed
in a large hogshead and so kept alive.
When the party went into the water the
young man harnessed up the cod with
stout Irvine and placed him in the water.
He had a great deal of sport, and finally,
after considerable persuasion, allowed
a young lady to try his sea horse. A
life-preserver was procured and fastened
on her and she grasped the reins holding
the large cod. The fish struck out for
deep water at rapid pace. The young
reins, but they caught in her feet, and if
a party had not gone to her rescue in a
sailing boat the result would have been
disastrous.-Portldnd Argus.

COMMITTEE WORK.

The iSub-appropriatiOns Committee Hard at
WOrk-Immigratio Investigation Commit
tee Resting.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The house COM
mittee on appropriations took recess
to-day, but work on the bills is being
pushed vigorously by the members hav-
ing them in charge. The subcommittee
in charge of the suadry civil and forti-
6cation bills hope the measures may be
ready for consideration by the full COM
mittee during the coming week.
The Ford committee to investigate the
evils of unrestricted immigration has not
held meeting this week for want of q
quorum, Messrs. Ford and Oates being
the only members at present in the city.
Ford said to an Associative press reporter
to-day: "There had been some develop
ments this week, which make it necessary
for the committee to take additional tes
timony, and that question will be decided
at meeting TO be held Monday morn
ing"

As to Filling Teeth With Diamonds

One of the absurd stories now current
is about women having their front teeth
filled with diamonds, as gold is not con-
sidered sufficiently becoming. This
makes dentists smile. The profession has
nointention of bringing the jewelry trade
into their business, for to securely set a
diamond in the filling of a tooth would
require the aid of more mechanical effort
than the vainest person could possibly
endure. Herald.

One week afterwards the SOuth-cOuntry-
man and the AlSatian met again at their
usual rendezvous. Augustus was the
first to arrive. His eyes sparkled with
pleasure; indeed he looked perfectly con-
tented and happy. So pleased was he that
he did not notice the troubled look of his
friend, who soon afterwards joined him.
''Ah, here you are!' said the latter, in
depressed tone of voice.
His sorrowful accent struck the Stras-
bourgian.
what is the matter?" asked Augustus.
"The matter is that my love affair has
terminated. This time it is quite finished
the spell is broken"
II am curious to know how that has
come about"
Il myself can scarcely understand how
it happened. First of all the daughter re-
ceived me very coldly, then the father, in
a roundabout and confused kind of way,
informed me that it had been decided to
decline my offer of marriage-there was
another lover in the field-the damsel was
very headstrong; it was not left for him
to determine-she had bluntly refused
any other sutton but the one chosen by
herself
Its a piece of rank Stupidity"
AT any rate, it is a piece of stupidity
finally decided on. She has twisted her
father round her finger, and at moment
when I believed all was settled and I had
commenced to purchase the jewelry. See
here is beautiful bracelets master
piece of workmanship
1T seems like fatality" remarked
Weiss. After what you have said, 1
hardly like to tell you of the happy turn
which my suit has taken. Thanks to you
and the advantages you have place in my
way, the father has consented. I have
to see him to-day at his own house-in
short, the door is 10 longer closed against
me-"

GERMANY s CROWN PRINCE

GERMANY S CROWN PRINCE.
Since the death of the old Emperor,
and in view of the feeble condition OF
Frederick great interest centers in
Phi &c wilism, who will be his success
scr. The reports concerning his a0ilitles
are very conflicting. By some be is said
to be very narrow minded young man,
bigoted in his views and likely TO plunge
Germany into a wsr for no other purpose
than to crafty his ambition OF becoming
6 soldier. Others claim that he is man
of CREST ability, broad and liberal il his
| ideas, and that he is destined TO become
one Of the grestest OF German leaders.
Amcrg those who hold this latter opinion
are both Bismarck and Won Moltke.
They believe that the spirit Of Frederick
the Great lives sgain in the young Prince,
and that ne is destined to lead the armies
OF Germany to victory in the war which
| is inevitable. Prince William is q
member of Protestant society
| which has been striving for some
time to spread religion among the people
for the purpose of counteracliDg the an
srchistic aud socisIIstic ideas which have
become all too common, and ne hss for
this reason been attacked By the SO called
Liberal press as young man who sdvo-
Gated reactiouary ideas. But young Ger
mary, as well IS s large portion Of the
state smen aud leaders who have helped to
build the empire, have great confidence in
him, ard he will Icome into power, II bis
time be soon, with the friendship of al
that is greatest and best among his PEG
pie Ii will probably not be long before
his mettle will be put to the test. The
fact that not Statesman nor newspaper
il France hiss ever Endorsed the Frankfort
treaty giving back to Germany the prov
| inces of Alssce and Lorraine, is taken tc
be a demonstration Of the fact that France
only wants q favorsole opportunity to
take them back, And the tone OF the Rus
sian press indicates that Russia is snx-
lous to settle the question as to whether
that nation or Germany is the foremost
power in Europe. So it looks very much
as though those two nations would at nc
distant day begin to make. war on Ger
many. Bismarck and Won Moltke thinB
that II war should prove to be inevitable
Germany should take the initiative, and
with Wsrlike young lesder, IN whom
they have confidence, the German people
will be apt to show the same spirit.

THE Mills or Democratic tariff reform
bill takes s25, OOO,O 900 from the internal
tax and s45, OOO. 600 from the taxes on i'm.

the bill reported by Mr.. Mills, IS chair

relieves the people of taxes On necessary
articles Of consumption, while the Rsn-
dali bill seeks 10 relieve them OF taxes on
