COMMUNICATION.
Mr.. EDITOR:


Mr.. EDITOR:
Is it possible that the pure air ofou
beautiful little city is to be vitiated by
the fumes from a bone factory or pou-
drette establishment Are the inhabi-
tants of Beverly willing to suffer this
thing to continue, bringing ruin to oul
city, depreciation to property, and
rendering the place uninhabitable
Some years ago a similar factory was
started here but the people would not
tolerate it. 1t has been said that by some
arrangement the smell will be pre-
vented, but Judging from the fumes
that greet us this beautiful (Wednes
day. morning, this is not true.

GREAT PROMISE OF SHAD.-Last
year the catch Of shad was the great
est ever known, but it is expected that
this year will exceed it. The oldest
fishermen on the river do not remem-
Der a season when the fish came so
early. A big catch is therefore ex-
pected. Forty million young shad
were placed in the Delaware by the
Fish Commission three years ago, and,
as shad are three years fish are due
this Spring. 1t is believed that young
shad, when Matched in the rivers, go
back with the big ones to the Gulf
Stream and that they follow it, three
years elapsing before they return. The
time seems sure from records made OF
the Fish Commissions work. Shad
will swim from Delaware Breakwatel
to Philadelphia, 100 miles, in five OF
six hours. They run in schools. There
are no dams in the Delaware, and the
fish, easily mounting the rapids, spawn
as high as Port Jervis, $50 miles up
the stream.

1t is always best to avoid danger if
possible, therefore there is one rule
which ought to be taught in every
school in the United States, and that
is never lift wire off the ground. As
long as it is on the ground it is harm
less, no matter what pressure may be
on it. The moment it leaves the
ground it may be dangerous. 1t is
in the way of traffic you can safely
pull it across the street with your foot,
then put your foot on it and hold it on
the ground and it cannot hurt you,
but do not lift it. Never touch wire
tied on pole. 1t may be dangerous,
but it is like the unloaded CUNT may
kill you.

Do you Act this Way?


Did you ever notice how some men
will walk up and down the floor when
they are trying to convey the impression
that their brain is on the rampage?
They strike line across the floor from
corner to corner, pull lock Of hair over
the forehead, jam their hands into their
pockets and commence their march and
their talk if there is any one to listen.
l knew man who expressed great Joy,
great sorrow, great rage and great every
thing in this manner. l was duly i'm
pressed with this magnitude of his intel
lect, and bowed in respect, until one
day saw him deprived of this mode of
expression or impression.
1t happened in this way: This man
with the powerful brain was striding up
and down in very small room. There
was room for the lock of hair on his fore
head, plenty of pocket room for his
, hands, but that stride interfered with
the comfort Of two or three others in the
room. Finally, in desperation, one of
the ladies said: "Oh, Mr.. -, do sit
down. You make me nervous" A gen.
tleman said: 'Let him walk. 1t is an
evidence of great intellect" The laugh
that went up brought intellect to stand
still. He looked surprised, perplexed,
his hand went to his brow and then he

Where Gen. Grant Died.
cincinnati Times.Star.1

4nhOo-Dtois
While at Mount McGregor l visited
! the Grant cottage 1t is in the same
fcondition now as it was when Grant
idied. The same furniture stands in the
same places, and the tallow candle half
}burned down to the socket stands on the
, table, besides the two great armchairs
in which he breathed away his last
shours. Pieces of his last writing, con-
lsisting of slips from his pad, are shown,
and there is tall, fine looking soldier in
uniform who sleeps in the cottage and
takes care of the relics. There are, on
the average, about "a, 900 visitors a year
now, and many pathetic incidents occur.
Nearly every one that comes wants to
#, take away some memento of the place,
and many pick up the gravel of the walk
. around the house, supposing that they
are carrying off stones trodden by the
foot of Grant.
The truth is that this gravel has to be
renewed every month on account of
these relic hunters, and the stones they
carry away have never seen Grant. Mr.
Arkell, who owns the mountain, tells
me he was offered $4,000 for the cot
tage, and that the men who offered this
were western men, who said they wanted
to cut up the cottage and sell it for relics
The probability is that they would have
taken it to pieces, have carried it off to
Chicago and shown it there at the expo
sition, in the same way that Libby prison
is to be shown - - - 80 -

Oddities of Great Men.


The greatest men are often affected by
the most trivial circumstances, which
have no apparent connection with the
effects they produce. An old gentleman
of whom we knew something felt secure
against the cramp when he placed his
shoes on going to bed SO that the right
shoe was on the left of the left shoe, and
the toe of the right next to the heel of
the left. If he did not bring the right
shoe round the other side in that way he
was liable to the cramp. DR.. johnson
used always, in going up Bolt court, to
put one foot upon each stone of the
pavement; if he failed he felt certain
the day would be unlucky.
Button, the celebrated naturalist, never
wrote but in full dress. DR.. Routh, of
Oxford, studied in full canonicals. A
celebrated preacher of the last century
could never make a sermon with his
gaiters on. A great German scholar
writes with his braces off. Reiseg, the
German critic, wrote lis commentaries
on Sophocles with pot of porter by his
side. Schybel lectured at the age of 70
extempore in Latin, with his snuff box
constantly at hand; without it he could
not get on
