How Oysrers are Caught.

Most of the best oysters sold at
raw boxes and restaurants are
taken by tongmen, while the very
finest are caught with nippers,
which is now in small way com
mencing to be one of the Mary
lands sports The tongmen from
a very large army of men catch
ing oysters in Maryland waters,
and while the size and quality of
their production are far superior to
that caught by dredgers, the pro-
duct is much smaller, being a tri-
fling proportion Of what is annual
ly caught in Chesapeake. Tongs
are only used in shallow and over
beds Which, in many cases. are the
property of the tongmen. The oy-
sters are caught from a small boat,
usually operated by two men, one
on either side. The tongs consist
of pair OF rakes with the teeth
curved inward and attached to
wooden handles from fifteen to
twenty feet long, which are Joined
by pin about one-third of the dis
tance from the iron. The tunpman
has a platform placed amid ships
across hls little craft, and when
over his beds he plunges his tongs
into the water and working the
handles, secures few fine oysters
possibly not more than half peck.
l hls he repeats until he has secur-
ed boat load, generally not more
than half a dozen bushels, the
work OF two men tor one day.
The oysters, however, are large
and fine and bring good prices.
The largest and finest oysters
taken are caught with nippers over
planted ground, one at time,
planted early and continually ted
for you can feed an oyster. They
grow to enormous sizes and bring
correspondingly large prices. Phil.

M. De Lesseps, in his report to
the extra meeting of the Panama
Canal Company, March l, states
that the Ill will OF opponents OF the
canal, which resulted in compell-
ing the company to borrow money
at higher rate of interest than was
expected, is the only cause OF the
increased cost and Of the intimida-
tionot certain of the company's con
tracors. Referring to the number
of cubic metres excavated in 1887,
the report states that M. De Les
seps can hardly ensure the com
pleton of the canal in 1889. The
directors have been induced to
agree to the construction of locks,
by means of which vessels of the
largest TONNAGE may traverse the
canal in 1890, before the work is
absolutely completed. The fnan.
cial statement shows that 10000
600 francs were on hand January
l, 1885.

A WOMAN'S NOBLE,GIFT.

A WOMAN'S NOBLEiGlFl.
Tha. was noble gift OF Mrs.
Wannmaker of Philadelphia-the
annex to the Presbyterian hospital
of that city of a ward for children
suffering from disease. or accident.
The cost was $40, 900, and it is Sin
tended as "a memorial OF the giver's
mOther-Ilarriet Eminger Brown.
That is way to erect noble mon

or marble, more benetiCient than
untold acres of cemetery names,
and dates and ex-parte statements.
The good that this good woman
discs by this donation, will be ali
active principle when every marble
slab in sight to-day will have gone
to dust. This gift is extraordinary.
1t also goes to prove that there is
sufficient vital goodness in more
than one Christian sect to build up
and maintain such noble institu
tions as hospitals. Such proof is
needed, and it is about time that

The pretext given by Mr.. Ran
dali forreducing the whisky tax to
so cents a gallon is that the States
could then tax whisky at 40 cents
gallon, leaving the total tax the
same as now, the States receiving
for the use OF schools or other pur-
poses that prouortion of the whole
sum. That will not do. There
are many States in which nc
whisky is manufactured and which
therefore, would get no part OF the
revenue derivable from that
source.

BOOM +!

When visitor is expected the
parties receiving always canvas the
character of the expected one, so
that on meeting on terms of IA
miliarity an adequate idea OF the
parsonage may assist III putting
each on familiar terms with the
other. 1t has been announced, and
is pronounced fact, that Lincoln
County is about to receive visit,
anticipated to be a long one, from
one of the Boom family. Now,
who is Boom
Webster says boom is "to rush
with violence, as a ship under
press OF sail" That is the kind
of visitor now en- route,hither, and
the natural question is, how shall
he be entertained ? The question
should be of easy solution, las
much as. the old fellow is as vigor

with nll languages. Mexican, Irish,
Dutch, or United States vernacu

derstands it, especially the word

MANvILLE SEYMOUR

MANNILLE SEIMujR
"Gone hefore us, oh our brother
To the spirit land,
Vainly look we for another
In thy place to stand" "
Mr.. Manville Seymour was born
in Wayne Co., N. Y. March 5th.
1915.
lie was converted when but a
boy, and continued a member OF
the Presbyterian Church until he
came here
lie married in 1868, Miss -
his present wife.
In 1876, God blessed them with
little girl, a sunbeam in their
| home.
On their way here in 1855, he
left his wife and child at Santa Fe,
while he came here-according to
agreement-to arrange a home for
them. On his return he found
that their little darling had just
died.
The brave old Christian acknow-
lodged Gods hand and struggled
on.
He realized that,
"The little feet, that wearied not,
Could come to him no more,
For he was drifting OIL the tide.
But they, had reached the shore.
And as he struggled onward to
view the shining way,
He knew that the feet in the
golden street, would never 60
astray."
His Christian hope was an
"anchor to his soul, both sure and
steadfast, and entered into that
withen the vail.
Blessed hope.
1t lifts the falnting spirit up,
and bears on eagles wings.
AS Beecher said, he had an echo
of God in himself. From this
eminltated his christian charity, by
which he ALWAYS found in his fel
lows something to admire, Judging
them by their best, not by their
least and worst, Judging them by
what they were capable of doing,
although they may not have been
doing 1t, that day or the next,
His tenderness to his mother,
who for many months has not left
her bed, except when lifted out of
it, and his devotion'to his delicate
wife, even his OWE life was gong
out in the struggle, is lesson to
all who witnessed it.
May God so imprint 1t on those
who "went in and out" during
these years, that they may treasure
it in their hearts, and 60 and do
likewise. The temple in which
the Holy Ghost dweit, has fallen
into decay, but God number our
dust, and the spirit has mounted
over death itself, to shine in that
land where there is no need of the
sun, nor the moon, but where God
is the light from henceforth "bles-
sed are the dead for they die in
the Lord.
Let us follow in his steps.

Now it is Dakota's turn to laugh.
AS he laughs best who laughs last,
and as there is not likely to be
much of a blizzard in Dakota until
next winter, Dakota will have the
laugh on New York until the biz
zard season opens again. There
was grim humor in a dispatch sent
from Bismarck ID. T., to Mayor
Hewitt, of New York, offering sub
stantial aid to the sufferers by the
blizzard in the Eastern metropolis.

M. SEYMOUR

MI. 5G Y N4oO&G-
On last edncsday morning,
about 3 o'clock, the spirit of NJ.
Seymour flew from out it's casket
into the presence and keeping OF
it's Creator.
Never, during our residence
here. has the grim messenger ap
piled his lfcshless knuckles upon
the tenement of a White Oaks
soul, and the call been so univer-
sally deplored. Others have gone
down in honor and been'committed
to mother earth, buried deep under
earnest lamentations, but there
were some who knew them and
were Indifferent. But Mr. Sey-
mour had no known enemy, while
all who knew him cherished his
acquaintance, and at his death eX-
perienced the feeling OF personal
loss.
Some one has said that the very
thought Of the tomb is the skele
ton OF every feast. The gloomy
passages OF the "dark valley"
may lead to perennial sunshine, but
even those who so hold and,preach
hesitate, aye dread, to take single
step leading to the passage way
Hamlet touched human thought
when he said a:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may
come.
When we have shufiled OF this mortal coil.
Must give us pause,
The dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose
bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of.
Generations of men have ap-
peared and will appear, have and
will disappear as the seasons and
the mists. Each parsonage, ne
matter how pretentious, is but an
atom. We come. we go-our COM
ing CT going are not sell-willed. -
Then, truly, " Why should the
spirit Of mortal be proud 2" Our
bodies must crumble to dust. and,
unless cremated, maggots will feed
upon them. But there is an inner
something, something which sur
wives the corruptible casket, which
will live forever, and the man or
woman who is entrusted with IT'S
sacred keeping who can present it
to the Giver with clean hands, will
not have lived in vain, or have oc-
caslon to regret their olrtn. II
they can go down to their graves
as did the lamented Seymour, with
the popular endorsement, " here
lies an honest man. the immortal
soul can tearlessly pierce the blue
vault of heaven and reach with
confidence the reward sure to be
conferred upon those who walk up
rightly the rugged paths of pre-
paratory life. But how few OF us
even essay so to walk !

GENERAL OF TIE ARMY

]
A bill is now before Congress
proposing toJ reyiye the grade of
General ina the Army, which,
under existing laws, expired upon
the retirement of General Sher
man. The Office of Lieutenant
General will also, under the same
provisions of law, cease, to exist
whenever vacated by General
Sheriden. 1t is to be hoped that
the pending bill may be amended
so as to continue both of these
grades.tor a period that will serve
to afford the American people an
opportunity to'recognize the great
debt due the. leaders who directed
the movements of our armies to
victory, and to the re-establish-
ment OF the integrity OF the nation,
and also to demonstrate the repub-
lies are not always ungratefui.
Looking back to the dark days
of the rebellion. when each days
intelligence OF the whereabouts Of
these leaders was sought III dread

people OF the. North to be conferred
upon those should finally lead
them into tine promised land.
When Shcrsdan sent Early flying
though the valley of the Shen-
andoah, and again when he stood
victor at Five Forks, what sng-
gestion Of recompense would have
seemed eXtravagantsto have given
fit expression to the feelings Of a
grateful people:
But the. war passed, and, with

rank was placed beyond his reach

How Ants Live. e

IN spite of tho multifarious a u''
and tasks that are imposed on tneso
tirg burghers, they sall fihI ,il',o ~, :.
clean and adorn their worthy lit'le p.l
sons. No spot, no atom Of dust OF ~
thing else uncleanly will they toisl .uO
ON their bodies. They get rid oil th9
dirt with the brushy tufts on their lees
or with their tongues. They act for ail
Tho world like domestic cats when they
clean and lick themselves, and they as
sist one another at the toilet precisely
like monkeys. Their sense OF clean
illness goes so far that the naturallSs
often finds, TO his unpleasant surprise,
the colored marks that he had applied
with so much care on his trial ants"
removed by their dirt-hating friends.
They keep their dwellings just as
clearly.
But the conveying away of their de-
ceased brethren, whose bodies they APP
pear to regard with the greatest antip-
athy, gives them more trouble than
ANYTHING else. When some members OF
an ant community which Mr.. Cook
kept imprisoned died and could not be
removed, those remaining seemed af-
fected with the greatest horror. For
days the insects ran about seeking a
way out, and ceased only when com
pletely exhausted. The ants belonging
to the camponorous species seized tho
dead and threw them into the water
pail, which they converted into a sep
ulcher Ordinarily, though, the ants
are said to treat their dead with more
reverence. They even possess their
own graveyards, which lie in the vicin-
ity Of their nests. They convey their
deceased companions thither, where
they lay them down in orderly little
heaps or rows.
1t is only the corpses Of their fellows,
however, that they treat in this man
ner Dead strangers they throw out
like something unclean, or tear the
body in pieces. Even between the mas
ters and slaves Of the same community
Miss Trent says she has observed o dis
similar mode of burial While the
masters find their last repose in a spo-
cial graveyard, side by side, the slaves
lie like heaped up refuse near the nest,
despised equally in death as in life
The ant cemeteries are often thickly
populated, for their life is short. The
male lives only through one summer;
the females live somewhat longer; and
the workers die of old age i'll the eighth
or tenth year.
