Eels that Scale PreciDices.

From the Oregon City Courier.
One of the most novel sights in the spring of
the year, at the rocks of the Willamette Falls,
is the swarms of gyrating eels. They are friski-
ness itself, and show low order of intelligence.
If you put your hand in the water over the eels,
or spit on it, instantly they are gone But poke
a stick down among the snaky things, and they
do not notice it. The sense of smell seems to
be their main guard against danger. Like sal
mon, they do their level best to dart up the
rocks in order to ascend the river, and with
good success. Says fisherman: II have seen
as many as a hundred bushels of cells hanging
on the rocks at one time by the suckers of the
mouth. They would wiggle and futter their
tails, and by the momentum thus obtained, let
ting go with their suckers jump up about six
inches higher. l caught about forty barrels
last season that salted and sold for the Column
bia fishermen for bait. picked them off the
rocks with fish-hook tied to pole. started
at the bottom row of hanging heels, and would
silently pick off barrel after barrel. The upper
rows hadn't sense enough to perceive the enc

Under "a Cloud.

BALTIMORE LAWYER LEAVES THAT CITY.
A Baltimore special to the Philadelphia
Times, January 16, says: William w. Buzy, a
well-known lawyer, has left Baltimore under a
cloud of suspicion. Within the past few days
his offices have been cleared of his valua BILE
library and Office furniture. Alkaline Darling,
widow of Lewis Darling, has filed bill against
Buzy and others to have set aside certain con-
veyances purporting to be from her to him. al
leging the same to be fraudulent. Since the
bringing of this action Mr. Buy has been miss
ing and is variously reported to have gone to
New York and Chicago. He was well known in
Baltimore and Philadelphia professionally and
socially and his departure Occasioned much
surprise. Mr.. Buy was sent by the United
States government to Demarara to investigate
the supposed coloring of sugars, since which
time he has been prominent in democratic
politics and was a leading member of the Cres-
cent club. The full amount involved in the
transactions above stated has not yet been
definitely ascertained. Mr.. Buys wife was
Miss Brown, of Philadelphia, and well known
in social circles of that city.

Pin Money for Girls.

LOTS OF MONEY MADE BY CARVING wooD-BoxEs,
FRAMES, AND CABINETS BEING MADE.
From the New York Mail and Express
Wood-carving leads off good share of the
women of ones acquaintance into captivity
this winter. To own fine pieces is an aspira-
ton, to execute them an ambition. Lately
finished is a beautiful duet seat, which goes to
the Crockers, of San Francisco, and coat cabi-
net designed for niche in Mrs Arthur Dodge's
hall and meant to contain those articles of APP
parel never hung up by family of boys. John
Tod Hill, one of the best known of American
wood carvers, is deluged with letters from
women on lone islands off Florida who wish to
carve to pass the time, women teaching school
who would like to earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows while welding the
carvers' tools instead of the birch. society
girls who carve, as they play the violin. for
amusement. And it is really becoming a
moneymaking occupation for women. A
young girl who taking her first orders for
work last winter drives a horse and buggy
which she has bought with her earnings The
daughter of a wealthy Brooklyn family
pocketed $50 two or three weeks since for her
first modest bit of carving offered for SALE She
has half dozen commissions to execute, and
though she is plentifully supplied with pin
money, announces her determination to see
the first young woman's pony and go her bet
ter by coachman, carriage and a pair.
third carver sends her work to the exchanges
for women's work and gets fair prices for the
graceful designs and clever execution
Beginners carve boxes or bellows. Then
they proceed to picture frames. If they have
talent they by and by do chairs. tables, over
mantels, frieZes, and all manners of decorative
furniture. Allegro Eggleston is probably the
most skillful designer and carver in wood
among women. The art is one which women
like and in which they are likely in the near
future to succeed well. They make jealous
pupils and throw themselves headlong into an
art which fits i'll so well with the other enthu-
siasms of home decoration.

Charleston. W. Va, special to the Phila-
delphia Press says: Both houses of the legisla-
ture held short sessions this morning, but no
business was transacted except that in the
senate four ballots were taken, without any re-
suit. The republicans seem to be determined
that nothing shall be done unless the demo-
Gratis make the concessions that they desire.
particularly in regard to the gubernationai
contest. The democrats are determined not to
do this and are using every effort to elect a
president of the body, be he republican or
democrat.
No session of the senate was held this after
noon, the body having adjourned un til to-mor-
row. There is at present no sign of the end of
the deadlock, but it is whispered that the DEM
ocrats will at once make an unexpected move,
In the hope of attaining that end.
