Ike and Bill remained at tho tent,
and watched over the sick man as II he
had been a brother 1t was three days
before Amos Biggs recovered conscious
ness and discovered the two strangers
at his side.
He was about TO speak, whom Bill
said:
"Ye had a perty hard spell, pardner.
Ike an me happened along an thought
we'd better stay around till you got
better an reckon yer gittin' around

'.And you have been with me all this
timer" asked Biggs
Eyes; but Pm afraid we couldn't "a
done much good if we hadn't had the
doctor with us part OF the time"
The sick man held out his hand.
II don't know who you are" he said,
"but you have saved my life, and some
time l hope to repay your kindness"
"Tain't no kindness" answered Bill;

"You bet!' sanctioned Ike.
For some time there was silence in
the tent.
Then Bessie, who was sitting at the
foot OF the bed, arose, and approach
ing Bill Stokes, said:
you have been so kind to papa and
me that we don't want you to go away
and we're not going to have this claim
unless-unless yoa will stay and take
half of it, Won't you stay now and live

And she turned her eyes appcalingly

THE CLUMSY PORPOISE.
A Commercial War to DO waged on tn
Ugly Creature.

A Commercial War to DO Waged on the
Ugly Creature.
Recent reports have come from
around about Quebec of now business
enterprise for the catching of the por-
poise. In n section of the Gulf where
they are very plentiful colossal nets are
TO be spread for their capture.
The porpoise has been often caught
before. Capitalists have corraled him
in quantities while disporting himself
near Wilmington, Del, for instance.
But TO those same capitalists he has
over proved much of white elephant.
Commercially, he has been unsuccess-
full and it is pleasing to note that he is
SO far appreciated to-day that band
Of moneyed men are again to push him
forward 1t is difficult thing to find
porpoise man in this city. In the
business world the porpoise is out. But
q fish oil man thus speaks of him
THE catching of the porpoise," he
said, lis something that has never
paid. When dead he is useful in GER
tain ways, but never sufficiently so.
Under his skin is a layer of fat-the
blubber--which is made into an ordin-
airy fish oil, such as menhadon, selling
at 26 cents gallon. The only really
valuable oil about him is within the
iawbone. That oil is very fine. 1t sells
at from 50 to 81 a gallon, and when
carefully refined, very much higher.
But, OF course, per porpoise there is n
very small quantity of that. OF the
ordinary oil about ten porpoises are
needed for barrelful. 1t is used for
the same purposes that other fish oils
notwithstanding, the curing of leather
and the lighting of mines. But" he
concluded, 1.-THE amount of porpoise
oil actually used is so small that we oil
men never take it into consideration at
ALL"
The porpoise's hide is regularly tan
ned for boot and shoe use. IL is too
wet and oily a leather to become a ma
terial for bags, pocket-books and the
like. Cut into strips for shoe-strings,
it has met with some favor. But 9TH
erwise IL is not wanted. Recently n
man in the swamp, who used to be in
the porpoise business. said; Don't
talk porpose to me, sir; there is moth
ing in them nowadays. Years ago we
though there was going to be, but no.
In my stock now / have several thou
sand porpoise hides that ] would be
glad to sell, but nobody wants them. If
this new company is going to capture
them by net it will have n big job on
its hands. For the porpoiso is wrig-
gler and the porpoise is very strong.
and the net will have to be made OF the
heaviest wire and tightly woven to-
gether."
The porpoise here referred to Is just
the plain, ordinary forpoise, such as
one may sec not far from here. and
even at times in New York Bay itself.
There Is another kind of porpoise
known as the 'white whale" from
twelve to fourteen feet long, Of u lyal-
somine whiteness from tip Of tail to
head. But he Is, strictly speaking, an
Arctic porpoise, and seldom, II ever,
gets as far south as the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. The ordinary species is but
hall the length, and even less OF the
"white whale. IN. Y. Mail and Ex-

PERMANENCE IN OFFICE.

A late issue of the Bulletin con-
tanned an article on Permanence in
Office, which has stirred the wrath
of the Elele to its depths. 1t is
needless for us to state that we
concur in the main with the senti-
ments of the Bulletin, and are high
ly amused by the wrath of the
EleIe. That journal has hard row
to hoe. 1t has to represent itself
as the champion of a party and
policy of Civil Service Reform, and
without alternating the support of
the Doodle element which it repre-
sents, and to which it owes its ex-
istence The combination is an in
congruous one and no amount of
ingenuity can possibly disguise it,
certainly not the very limited in
genuity of the Elele. The last issue
of that paper commends the Ma
tional party as the party of Civil
Service Reform, and at the same
time calls for removals which shall
furnish an opportunity for reward
ing faithful political services! 1t
is easy to see what the Elele's idea
of Reform is. It consists in making
a sweep for the benefit of the
hungry of it's own political stripe.
AT present the symptoms of min
isterial yielding to the bowls for
political heads are not great, and
| the dissatisfaction of the boodlers
is correspondingly active. 1t has
come very clearly to the surface in
the Legislature, and is one of the
many causes of dissension which
are widening the rift in the Nation.
al party. The Ministry in their re-
sistance to the spOilsmen, are only
acting in accordance with the pro-
fessed principles of their own party,
but if they adhere to such course
they can count with confidence up
on the support of the Reform men,
bers as well, and the backing of
that party throughout the country.
A great many of the candidates of
the National party evidently took
the platform seriously regarding
it as something TO be lived up
to and carried out, and not mere
ly as trap to catch votes. This
view of the instrument is bitter
disappointment to the large ele-
ment which subscribed to the plat
form without reading 1t, and who
never dreamed that it was anything
but honey to catch flies with.
The attitude of the Ministry to
the offices will furnish an admirable
test of their political sincerity and
good faith. If they adopt the prln.
ciple that efficiency and fidelity are
the only qualifications for Office,
and are governed by no other con-
siderations in the matter of remov-
ais and appointments, they will
command the support of the best
element IN their own party, and at
the same time the general public
sentiment of the country will rally
to their aid.

Ostrich Farming in the Hawaiian Is

One of the females does not appear

seem to have taken kindly to their

in the presence of Mrs. S. G. Wilder,
