Eating Raw Fish in Japan.

A correspondent who dined in Japan
describes wildly rhe sensation pro-
duced by eating raw fish: 1.-The whole
fish was there, his head and shining
blue eyes, his tail and fins, but at a
touch the shape came apart and lay in
thin slices upon the bones, miracle
Of the carver's art. l took chop
stickful. The first taste of caviare
aad onions is an event in a lifetime:
the unknown olive and pungent gar
lie have made episodes in every career,
but to close the jaws on a slice of
cold, raw fish and have the clammy,
rubber-like flesh culver and slip under
the teeth has horror peculiarly its
own. The sense of its being some
thing lately dead, something corpses,
is sickening. One slice filled me al
most to oyerfnowing and l confined
myself to the garnish."

An artesian well in North City, a

to have the largest flow of any artesian
well in the world. II is an eight

flow exceeds 5000 gallons per minute,
or over II, 100000 gallons every TWEEN

"No more than thatP"
"Isn't that pretty good2 replied the

this new well can easily get that for 1t

such purchase, but oil men take risks
Another operator said that beyond

CHARLESTON W. Va, August TO-
Jennie E. Hulden, a G-yoar old orphan
girl at Quinnmont, has been confined to
her bed several days. At first 1t was
thought that her indisposition was not
serious, but as she did not appear to i'm
prove suspicious were aroused and in
quiry developed the fact that she had
been criminally assaulted on August 5
bya colored man named Hill Dawson.
She Is said to be In a very precarious
condition, and examination shows that
in addition to heinjuries caused by the
assault she was suffering from loath-
some disease.
"A warrant was sworn out and Dawson
was arrested and committed to jail at
Fayetteville yesterday TO await the ac-
tion Of the grand jury. He made no At
tempt whatever 10 escape, probably
thinking that his victim would not tell
the story OF bis crime. He Is about 25
years OF age.

ust 16,-Chief Mayes' long expected
answer has finally been given to the
Cherokee Commission. II is yolumi.
nous document Of over 1000 words the
burden Of which Is a discussion OF the
title to the outlet. Mayes says he re-
grets that the commissioner proposition
made no allusion to the legal status OF
the lands in question, aud that more
than one point In the offer, either has
no legal grounds 10 support It or else
the commissioners had deemed best not
10 refer to these grounds. He says that
the term "outleL" Is used unadvisedly
by the commissioners, and that all the
patent lands Of The Cherokees are known
by both the Cherokee people and by tho
United States treaties as the Cherokee
country .
Mayes says he would like to have q
proposition from the Commlssionersthat
The people can understand. He says the
Cherokee constitution declares that the
lands OF the Cherokees shall remain COM
mon property, and that II the Cherokee
people should desire TO Cede part oil
their lands an amendment to the Chero-
kee constitution would be necessary.
The Commissioners proposition will BE-
submitted to the council At Its session
In November next, He says that mat
lers would not be hastened by calling
the council In extra session at this time
as no action could possibly be had until
the council following the general elec-
tion in August. 1891.

Forty.second and Grand Street Ferry
Railroad Company, who pleaded guilty
to two indictments charging him with
the oyer-issue Of over 100000 worth Of
the stock ofthecpmpauy, was sentenced
by Judge Gildersleeve to-day to seven
years imprisonment at hard labor on
each indictment, the maximum pen,
atty for the offence. Allen looked pale
and down,hearted, When he reached
the court room he was met by his coun,
sell, lawyer EusLis, and his brother Ell,
mer 1, Allen, Lawyer Eustis tried to
cheer Allen up, but did not succeed very
well, The court room was crowded at
II o'clock, when Judge Glldersleeve en-
tered court, When asked what he had
to say, why sentence should not be
pronounced upon him, Allen turned
and looked at his counsel but did no
utter syllable, Mr.. Eustis, alter some
deliberation, said there was nothing to
addito what had already been presented
in regard to the previous good character
of,lbe prisoner.
Judge Gildersleeve, then addressing
Allen, said: "Ms. Allen, you pleaded
guilty to two indictments. lam Inform
eddy the District Attorney that although
other charges could be preferred against
you none other than those TO which you
have pleaded will be preferred, l have
received letters from q number OF friends
Of yours and many persons have been to
see me with regard 10 your case, but
after a very careful consideration Of the
whole matter, taking into consideration
that punishment could be inflicted on
you for the charges which are not press
I'd, see no reason why should not in-
pose tho maximum penalty. The sent
ence OF the court is that you be confined
In the State prison at hard labor for
seven years on this indictment which
hold In my hand, and under the other
Indictment that you be also confined at
hard labor for the period Of seven years
10 begin at the expiration OF the first
term"
Allen turned slckly pale as he was led
back to the pen. He looked around the
court room. None OF bis friends except
his brother, were present. Even his
vile, whose extravaganza Is said to have
been the cause OF her husbands ruin,
failed TO come to court.

battle had been indicted at Puryis, Miss,

at Johnston's place yesterday afternoon
and found that gentleman standing out

"There Is o rumor, Mr.. Johnston, that

II guess II has, was the quiet answer.
"You have received confirmation Of II,
then?"
'fYes, sir"
"WeIld you mind telling in what

Mr.. Johnston here produced from the
depths Of bis vest pocket telegram
from Purvis, informing him that he,
Jimmy Wakely and Danny Murphy had
been indicted.
"Will you tell me from whom you re.
