The catch of fish has been fair.
Sparks and Lee had the high net for
the week. Sharks, skates, porpoises,
and turtles are lepions and it is al
most impossible to fish on account of
their deprrdations on the nets. All III

The reports from Tampa are %eucourag-
ing. The fever has vanished and the

Mr.. Brown has on special occasion
the past week transmitted the crude
bivalve into capacious chowders and
stews. According to Darwin's theory
of evolution the oyster is The lineal de-
descent from the moneion and through,
transmigration, becomes the progeni

theory that the primeval mai was the
offspring OF The mOllusk and possessed
no other atut 'te or eudown.e....s but
instinct. All the brute creation, i'll
sects, fowls of the air, and fishes of
the sea, without exception, have Il Ia
