From Forest and Stream.
One day, while wading and casting for bass
in Lone Stone lake, Wisconsin. inadvertently
stepped on the spawning bed of a rock bass, or
"goggle-eye," as they are. sometimes called in
the west. The fish ran out, and moment later
came back at me and struck quite a severe
blow on my leg as stood in the water. stood
quiet and the little creature-it was only
about a half or three-quarters of pound in
weight-ran at my leg again and again, bunt-
ing quite forcibly with its head
The whole demeanor Of the fish was one OF
great anger. As the water cleared I could see
il very plainly, and il could see me as well. buS
il showed no signs of moving of, and evidently
meant fight. / stepped away from the nest

SCISSOR then abandoned the fight This was
June Is, believe. We could see good many
black bass nests shining on the bottom Of the
lake near the shore The men of that country
said they often caught bass by leaving the bait
lying on the bed or nest" On finding il there
upon their return. one or the other of the base
would seize it and carry il of from the bed, and
the fish could then be hooked. i caught only
one bass here, a plymouth.

Princesses in the Market,
nee Of the Chicago News.

Correspondents Of the Chicago News.
There are not so many princesses in the mat
rimonisl market as you might suppose. They
are easily enumerated. The representatives of
the Romish church are three Bavarian and
three Belgian princesses, one Bavarian duchess,
five Bourbon princesses, four Austrian arch
duchesses, a Saxon princess and a Wurtem-
burg princess. The Protestant girls are two
princesses of England, two Of Prussia, three of
Holstein, one Of Hesse, one of Anhalt, one of
Saxe-Weimsr, one of Mecklenburg, and a
number representing petty German princIpali-
ties. In the Greek church there are a Grecian
princess and two princesses of Monte
negro Most Of these royal creatures
are pretty we'll along in years-none is re-
garded eligible so far as Prince Albert VIC
tor of England is concerned. Indeed, the
finding of wife for that uninteresting per-
son is said to be worrying the grandma queen a
good deal. IL is believed that Princess Victoria
Of Teck will finally be decided upon; she is too
pretty and too clever to be yoked to SO doughty
q fellow as the heir-apparent No. 2 As for
Prince George, it is arranged, they say. that in
due time he shall marry Princess Mary, heir to
the throne Of Holland. At present she is only
fifteen years Of age, but her neighbors all give
her the character of being as likely young
girl as ever put her two feet into wooden shoes.
The car has but one daughter, and she is
about fourteen years old. Russian girls are not
quoted high, for the reason that as they mature
they invariably discover q fondness and a
talent for intrigue and politics.

Deied the Court.

From the New York Tribune.
An amusing scene happened in the sullivas
county, NY, court house the other day. The
wife Of one Of the parties to a suit was on the
witness stand and had intrusted her baby 70
the care of another woman, who was tending il
below. The child became restless after awhile
and announced its desire 10 see its mother in
notes Of unmistakable pathos, which might be
traced to hunger. After trying in vain 20 quiet
the child the woman came up stairs and into
court, the baby all the time yelling ct the top
of its lungs. Judge Thornton jumped MP and
cried: Take the child out Of court" The
woman Addressed Needed not the command
but continued to advance and holding the
youngster out TO its mother over the head Of .
prominent lawyer exclaimed with FIRE dashing
from her eye; Court or no court this child has
got 10 be attended TO.
