An oily stick is thus formed which
floats rapidly to leeward, and often at.
tracts the bluefish within a radius Of d
mile. A slice from the menhaden,s back
is put on a large hook and the line is
thrown overheard, and as it drifts away
the bait is seized by the voracious fish
which swarm about the boat
Bluefish tackle is exceedingly cheap
A dollar will purchase all that is nece
sary for hard fishing while an outlay of

Small snappers of two pounds weight
are quite abundant at Broad channel and
the inlet of jamaica bay, and also at Sea-
warren, Princes bay, the Horse at Sandy
Hook and at Barnegat. The large fish
running from six to fifteen pounds have
been found in great quantities all along
the Long Island and Jersey coasts The
season is usually from thelaiddleof July
to the first of October.

Flowers are used much more sensibly
thun they used TO be. The absurd fash
ION of loading young woman down
with dozen or more huge bouquets
every one measuring from fifteen tt
twenty inches across, is no longer II
vogue The atrocious custom died Of
its own inapproprateness.
1t is possible even with the most deli
cate blossoms, which are the essence OF
grace and refinement, to be positively
vulgar The large corsage bouquets
which were so popular for two or three
wears seem to have vanished, not to re-
appear, from the very fact of their over
size and overuse. This is true as well OF
the bunch of flowers for the street dress
as for the ball toilet. Flowers are not SO
worn because of their wide and exag-
gerated use when they got out of the
hands of women of taste and refine
ment into those of the sort who bleach
their hair and daub their faces. The
fashionables now permit themselves only
a bunch of violets in the spring, when a
craving for flowers cannot be stitled.
More coloring is used in funeral flow
ers than ever before. Set pieces are no
longer used. Loose flowers furnished by
members of the family are the only ones
considered appropriate. This is sensi-
bic departure. Why should the stiff
waxen camellias and the tuberose be al
ways used? To some sensitive minds
these flowers are so associated with death
that, seen at any time, they only recall
a scene of mourning. Flowers at d flu
neral are intended to console the living
with their loving touch and gracious
softening of the grim outlines There is
more tenderness in the droop of one La
France rose than in forty stiff, inodorous
iaponicas. New York Ledger

A Shooting Affair.

Deadwood Times: A shooting
affair Yesterday at about 2o'clock p m
took place at Camp 95, on the b. & NJ.
grade near the Bulldog ranch, under
the following circumstances: Pat
Burke, who is the proprietor of the
commissionary store at this camp, had
made complaint and sent for an officer
to arrest one James Daily, for larceny
of goods from the store. Whilst DAILY
was held under guard awaiting the ar
rival of an officer. one Chas. James
di.armed the guard, and both DAILY
and James, secured each a Winchester
left for the woods, and proceeded to a
log cabin about two miles distant
from the store. Here the officer upon
his ARRIVAL found them, each dcfying
arrest. and threatening the officers
life if he did not leave. The officer,
deeming discretion, under the circum-
stances, the better part of valor, with
drew from the scene, and sent for ad-
ditional men and arms to aid him in
making the arrest; he remained
concealed but watching the desperados.
Upon a return of help the officer and
party effected a surprise and captured
and disarmed DAILY. In the meantime,
events were taking place rapidly. 1t
seems that James, who had dlsarmed
the guard, had taken a notion to re-
turn to the store and kill Burke, firing
five shots at him from his Winchester.
Burke returned the fire with two eff
fective shots, n taking effect in the
head, the other in the neck of James.
Whilst the officer was approaching
the store with his prisoner, DAILY, he
was met by Burke, who SAID to him,
II have shot James in self defense; he
tried to shoot me, and l had to shoot
him. / surrender to you"
Burke and DAILY were both brought
to this city last evening. Mr. James
it was not thought safe to remove, and
lie was left at the camp, to be brought
in latter if lie does not die. Mr.. Burke
Is we'll known to the business mon Of
Deadwood, and bears a high reputa.
ton for being a peaceal,lo and law
abiding citizen.

Tha, Seed Wheat.

Mitchell Capital: Last spring the
county. through its commissioners,
furnished seed wheat to such farmers
in the county as stood in need of help
in this direction, to the amount of
about $4,000. The aggregate crops of
the county were by this means made
much larger than they otherwise would
have been. Much of the wheat raised
has been marketed and the men thus
helped are showing their good faith by
reimbursing the county as rapidly as
they market their crop. At this time
this sum has all been repaid to the
county but about 81 900, and it is evil
dent the county will not lose a cent
by the transaction.

Republican Meetings.

The meetings being held throughout
the county have been very successful.
The republican party has neye, been 50
thoroughly united as at present. The
outlook is that the entire republican
ticket will be elected by not less than
three hundred majority. There never
was a better or a cleaner ticket pre-
sented to voters OF this county than the
present republican ticket. All Of tho
gentlemen composing the ticket are
clean, honest and able. Any democrat
can vote this ticket without violating
any obligation OF citizenship. Vote
the republican ticket.
