A Profitable Fish Story.

Governor Routt, of Colorado. tells this
fish story, which he says General Grant
enjoyed exceedingly. In the early days
of Leadville's boom a group of miners and
tavern stove spinning yarns. Ono had
caught ten-pound trout, another had
harpooned a whale in the Arctic seas, and
so on, when up spoke the little Cover
nor: "Well, boys, all that's nothing to my
luck; 1 once caught q pickerel that weigh
ed one hundred and eighty pounds" "
"Oh, Governor! pickerel weighing one
hundred and eighty pounds!" resounded
from all sides. No one would believe the
tale, but Routt persisted and, after vainly
trying to shake their inoredulity explain
ed: Pickerell is my wife's name." He
says he never spent cent for cigars or
other luxuries during the rest of his visit.
One of his hearers gave him share in
the mine that started him on the high
road to great wealth.

Bismarck's government, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, is not showing itself to
be good and kindly disposed member of
the community of nations, either abroad
or at home. On the east coast of Africa
the aggressive spirit crops out in one
form; in Samoa on the opposite side Of
the globe in another; towards England in
very spiteful spirit, and at home in the
utmost intolerance of those who question
Bismarck's claims or who dispute his will
whether they be ministers of State, learn
ed professors or judges administering
Justice if the standard of justice does moi
suit the chancellor's mind. The "Bis-
maTck spirit''o,f which .1,. we are speaking, is
rant. 1t must inevitably tend toward and
end in "a sea Of troubles" ut no distant
day in the future for him, or whoever
shall be the unhappy inheritor of the ha
tired his course is exciting.

Old London Bridge.

The first stone bridge across the Thames at
London was commenced IN ll!6. The archi-
tect was Peter, of Colechurch, who died in
1905. one year before the structure was COM
pleted. The stone platform was 926 feet long
and 40 feet wide The coping stones were 90
feet above the level of the water at ebb tide,
and the bridge was formed by nineteen point
ed arches, with massive piers from - TO "a
feet in solidity having drawbridge each
side of the river to protect the approaches
The chapel inscribed to St Thomas Beckett
consisted of two stories and was Familiarity
known as St. Thomas OF the bridge. 1t stood
on the tenth or great pier, that is, as nearly
as possible in the center of the bridge, the
lower portion being the crypt, paved with
black and white marble. In this crypt the
architect, Peter of Colechurch. desired that
his bones might rest, and there, it may be
presumed, they peacefully remained for CEN
turtles. But in 1851 the premises came into
the occupation of a Mr.. Yaldwin, to be used
by him as dwelling and warehouse. Whilst
alterations were being effected under the
staircase of the crypt the remains of human
body were discovered and removed. but no
inscription was found 10 afford & clew as to
whose body it was, nor were any records Of
the lnterment Forthcoming.
In the summer of 1883 old London bridge
was removed Twas at school in kensington
ct the time, and hearing that the crypt which
onca contained the remains of Peter OF Cole
church had been discovered l fastened to
view the ruin. Admission to inspect was de-

clivitieS, and was fain TO watch the process
OF demolition from the nearest buttress of the
London bridge now standing. However, l

tons, therefore, remaining to be solved are:

Life is SO .rafl thing, q token

A bird that trails wing that's broken,
VOW un1ept as soon as spoken.
Sin only. unforgot.
Life is so sad thing, its measure
Brims over full with human tears;
A blighted hope, buried treasure,
Infinite PAIN, delusive pleasure,
Make sorrowful our years
Death is SO sweet, a thing a-sleeping
With waxen hands on waxen breast,
Where sounds of laughter and of weeping,
Where toll of sowing and of reaping
Sink into perfect rest.
Heaven is so near. Oh. friend, It's yonder,
Gods word doth clear the uncertain way;
His hand will lead thee, lest thou wander
His spirit teach thee thoughts to ponder
Till thou hast found the day
