The Washington Fishing Club, of
Pittsburg, Pa, now in camp at the
north end of Sandy Lake, had crowd
of visitors Sunday afternoon. The
rowing race, between two gentlemen
named Snyder, was closely contested
and exciting, both being fine oarsmen,
and very evenly matched. In firing
a salute to the winner of the race the
little cannon was bursted into q hun
dred pieces, which flew in every direc.
tion. Although there were q hundred
people within few yards of the gun
when it exploded, fortunately nobody
was seriously hurt, the only injury to
any person being done by a small piece
of the metal striking a young man on
the nose, causing a flow of claret. The
w. F. g. are enjoying their annual
outing immensely.

r. Availability IS much spoken of. We
do not like the word, for it has no
bottom of its own to stand on. We
trust the American people are approach
ing that political and moral condition
when the word availability shall be
synonymous with the highest fitness.
But if any one desires further assurance
OF. Judge Greshams availability, let him
wa lch the growing enthusiasm among
Republicans and let him watch, also,
the growing dread of him among the
Democrats. a We had occasion a short
time ago, in Milwaukee, to meet an
astute old Democratic politician, one OF
that party's Wheelhorses in Wisconsin,
and his parting words were: You
Republicans just let Judge Gresham
alone, and we are all right The
Republican party has never been guilty
Of carrying out the wishes of its enemies.
That, if we mistake not, is character
istie of the scandinavian race, and
which has made them such good Repub,
lcans. 1t is generally safe policy to
pursue. Judge Gresham, we venture
to say, is the choice of the Scandina-
VANS of the West.

Family Resemblance.

1t is just the same, be sure, in mental
matters. There are family characters
and family intelligences, as there are
family faces and family figures. Each
individual member of the brood has his
own variety of this typical character,
but in all its basis is more or less per-
sistent, though any one particular
trait, even the most marked, may be
wanting, or actually replaced by its
exact opposite. Still, viewing the
family idiosyncrasies as a whole, each
member is pretty sure to possess very
considerable number Of peculiarities
more or less in common with all the
remainder True, Jane may be pas
sionate while Emily is sulky; Dick may
be q spendthrift, while Thomas is a
miser. But Jane and Dick are both
humorous, Emily and Thomas both
musical, Thomas and Dick both sensi-
tive, Emily and Jane both sentimental,
and all four of them alike vindictiye,
alike intelligent, alike satrical, and
alike fond Of pets and animals. Look
at the persistent Tennysonian tone in
Charles and Alfred Tennyson; look al
the parodying power of the two Smiths
in Reflected Addresses look at the
'aracci, the Rossettis, the Herschels,
and then say whether even minute
touches of taste and sentiment do not
come out alike in brother and sisters.
Almost everybody who meets brothers
or sisters or cousins of his own after a
long separation (when use has not
dulled his apprehension of the facts)
must have noticed, with mingled
amusement and dissatisfaction, in ten
thousand little ways and sayings how
very closely he and they resembled one
another. Sometimes the very catch
words and phrases they use, their pet
aversions and their pet sympathies,
turn out at every twist of life to be
absurdedly identical. One may even
be made aware of ones own unsuspect-
ed and unobtrusive failings by observ-
ing them as in a mirror, in the minds
of ones relations, like King George
MILDLY in Mr.. Gilbert's story, who meets
himself on an enchanted island, and
considers his double the most disagree
able fellow he ever came across. -Popu-
