A Bows Nose for Bait.

Ke.ka lake is twenty miles long
by two wide. Penn Van is at one
extremity, Hammondsport at the
other. While making passage across
the lake a citizen of the former
place related this story: "Some
years ago friend of mine, taking
his little son along, went fishing on
the lake. The boy was at the fathers
back at the stern of the boat. Soon
a violent splashing accompanied by
stifled scream startled the father,
who moment later ciutched the
foot OF his son, just disappearing in
the waterof the lake. Pulling him
aboard he also landed salmon trout
five feet long, weighing forty pounds,
with its teeth firmly imbedded in
the boys face on either side of his
nose. The little fellow lying on the
seat, his body half over the side of
the boat, was mirrowing his face in
the lake. The fish sprang up, seizing
him, and so he lost his balance. As
quickly as possible the boy was taken
home, a doctor and a photographer
were called, and to-day picture of
the boy with the fish attached may
be seen at Penn Yam" Doubling
the story | was taken into a pilot
house, where the story was verified.
The bov, now a young man, was
pilot of the boat. He corroborated
the story fully, showing me the
scars on his face.

letting the negro emigrate if they de-
sire, and thinks the country would be
ultimately much better off as result
of their departure. This point was
brought out in his remarks upon strife
between labor and capital, strikes and
labor troubles generally. He said that
while emigration agents or others
had no right to come among the people
and induce laborers to leave parties
with whom they were under contract,
he thought wholesome emigration
of a certain class Of citizens from our
State would cause only a temporary
inconvenience and their places would
soon be filled by much better citizens.

NORTHERN FANATICS AT WORK.
We feel like taking the Rev. DR.. A.
E. Dickinson, of Richmond, va, by
the hand and thanking him for his
manly and sensible remarks made be-
fore the 1S2nd annual meeting of the
Baptist Association of Philadelphia,
the othar day. An account says:
Just before the close of the meeting
the condition of the colored people of
the South came up. Rev. w. H.
Brooks, a colored preacher of Wash
ington, D. c., led off in speech CIV
ing a rather gloomy view of the situa-
ton of his geople.
Rev. E. B. Palmer, D. D., of Phila-
delphia, followed calling attention to
the action of the Baptist Ministers
Conference at Philadelphia recommend
ing that the third Sunday of October
be set apart as day of fasting and
prayer for the blessing of God to help
in settling the race troubles which are
now affecting the South. Dr. Palmer
hoped that the day would be observed
by all of the Baptist Churches connec-
ted with this body. He saw no hope
for these Southern conflicts in the
South, except with the blessing Of God.
Rev. A. E. Dickinson, D. D., OF
Richmond, Va, said that his people
will be glad to be prayed for, but he
hoped that before the day of fasting
and prayer every one would seek fol
correct information as to the true state
of things at the South. 1t might be
we'll for the Ministers Conference to
set apart another day for fasting and
prayer for the blessing of God in en-
abling the Northern people to rightly
understand just what is true as to these
great Southern questions. Often evil
reports about the South come to you
that are highly exaggerated, and some
times they are wholly without founda
ton in fact. The very incident at Bax-
ley, Ga, which led your pastors to set
apart day for fasting and prayer came
to you in highly exaggerated proper
tons. There was something in it, but
nothing like as much as Jour preach
ers thought when they took this action.
About this and about other matters as
to the South, take time to see both
sides-all sides-and to this end l rec
commend that you appoint another
day of fasting and prayer. And while
you are holding days of fasting and
prayer about the South We in the South
may return the compliment by setting
apart day of fasting and prayer that
you may be blessed in solving the
mighty problems which face you here
in the North.

NEGRO POSTMASTERS.

Wilson, one of the prettiest and most
attractive towns in the State, mourns
over the fact that negro has been ap-
pointed postmaster at that place. Com
menting on this the Aa0anee says:
Yet there are some fools who say
that the Republican party is not the
negro party. There are some idiots
who say that Republican success does
not mean negro domination. If such
idiotic fools will come to Wilson-one
of the most progressive, thrifty towns
in the State-they can shortly find a
negro as postmaster.
1t may be we'll to state that Mr..
Wiley Daniel-one of the best, truest
and most highly respected white men
in our county-was induced by the
business men of the community to ap-
ply for the office. He has been a life
long Republican-voted for Harrison
and believes in protection. Yet he
was passed over and negro was ap
pointed to the office.
