Where a husband aud wife are lost
at sea, the law always assumes that he,
being the stronger, survived her by
some minutes or hours. On this sup
position he inherited her property
during the few moments he survived
her). and on his death his relatives In
herit it from him. In seven different
cases followed up in the French courts
within the last ten wears, it was found
that the wife ontiyed her husband, and
the practice of the law had to be re-
yersed.
There is nothing in the whole rout-
inc of civil duties that would require
different training in a woman from that
of man. She proposes not to ex-
e;cise her right of suffrage as woman,
but as citizen. The nature of the
responsibility is not lessened nor aug

undertakes it, 1t may be done better,
more delicately, with greater tact, and

work, and the same qualities are called

A Norwegian, Andrew Drunken, we
think, formerly resided at Colfax, Dunn
County, Wis. He was brave, eff
Gent and shrewd soldier in the great
civil war.
One day while out on picket he was
suddenly startled by the whiz of q
than was pleasant. Looking up he
saw Confederate picket some distance
off, reloading his gun.
Andrew took hasty aim at his busy
foe, fired and missed him. He lodged
behind an ancient tree, reloaded his
gun and then considered what he had
better do next.
Taking off his cap, he placed it on
the end Of his bayonet, and, elevating
it head high, he stuck it out one side
of the tree as though he was taking
look at the enemy. The Confederate
saw the cap, and, supposing there
must be q Yankees head inside of it,
he took better aim this time and fired.
His bullet pierced the cap, and as it
did so Andrew lowered his gun and
the cap fell to the ground. He then
remained perfectly quiet.
Yankee, and Andrew supposed he
would come over and look at the re-
mains; hence he quietly awaited
further developments. He had not
long to wait; he could hear the tramp
of the enemy as he approached. An
drew awaited his arrival with breath
less anxiety. AS he drew near the
tree the Norwegian stepped out and
shot him dead. The next day a por-
ton of the army marched past the spot
where the dead picket still lay I'M

terror of death through fire or water.

at. She tried to secure stool. or
bench, or plank, anything that would
float, for the moments of safety were
few. Several times she grasped some
article of wood, but it was at once
snatched from her hands by one of the
strong, brutal men.
"Then she spied the young ruffian of
the day before, hooking and cursing
at his panic-stricken mates. Somehow
she made her way to the side of this
man; she laid her hand upon his arm:
she spoke no word, only looked at him.
then turned her eyes on me, a HELPLESS
baby, lying in her helpless arms.
"The fellow said not word to her.
With great curse he sprang into the
crowd that was fighting over possess
sion of long plank: he wrenched it
away from all of them, then swung
it about him to clear space, knock
ing more than one into the water. With
his coat and neck-muffler he tied
mother and myself on to the plank,
and then slid it slowly and carefully
into the rapid, dark stream, cursing
like fiend all the while at the men
who would have torn the float from us.
"None too quick was his work, for,
before he had time to drop beside us,
a great sheet of fire enveloped him,
and when he dropped into the water
and grasped the end Of the plank and
pushed it off before him as he swan to
shore, the hair was crisped off his
head, the shirt was o charred rag upon
his back, and mingled with the roasted
flesh of his body.
"Mother saw this when we reached
land, and he united us and helped her
up. On the levee were planters and
darkies waiting to do what they could.
Mother, unnerved by fright, wet and
shivering in her night-clothes, could
only thank this man, tell him her name,
and ask his. He refused to give it.
He was only too glad to help real
lady and little babby; it was all
right, and not with maxim no fuss
about he said; aud while the daZed
mother was thinking what next to say,
he disappeared, and she never saw or

Fish and Fishermen.

Somebody has given the following
definition Of a fisherman "a pole and
line, with hook and angleworm at one
end and fool at the other" The re-
suit, too, of long days sport" under
a broiling sun is usually string of five
or six small perch, half-grown bull
head. and three OF four pumpkin seeds,
together with stories of "bites" and
struggles with catfish and muskalonge
that keep the recording angel actively
employed.
sou,e years ago theory quite gener
ally prevailed that fish constituted brain
food, furnishing that ittle-understood
organ with its supposed need of phos-
phorus; all this in face of the fact that
fishing communities, which subsist on
fish, are the stupidest people ashore.
Our observation tells against the the
ory. Mark Twain's advice to the bore,
who called to consult him in regard to
the brain value of fish diet, was that
it was good, and that he, the bore,
ought to begin it at once with couple
of whales, the inference being that the
number could be increased as his
needs required. The best fishing
ground with which we are familiar is
the Pullman Market Building, where
for few dimes one can get more and
better fish than from the Government
pier in fortnight.-PultnG7a Journal.
