to send accounts from the feet to my
brother in New Orleans of everything
that was going on. Porter knew from
the way in which he was frequently
forestalled that there was spy in the
feet, and he tried hard to catch him,
but never succeeded. And l kept
right along until New Orleans sur
rendered and my brother was taken
prisoner. How did / send my ac-
counts across? BY fishes. You see,
when Bob and l were boys-we were
both under 20 years when the war
broke out-we used to train fishes to
carry messages across the river. We
took brook trout-they are the most
intelligent-when they were young,
tanned them, and by smearing fly or
piece of meat with asafetida we
can catch them whenever we want
to. Other kinds of flies smeared with
a certain kind of oil we gave them,
but that made them sick, and after a
while they would eat only flies
with asafetida on. We taught them
that by swimming straight ahead in
any direction we turned them they
would find fine fly at the other side
of the tub; then we tried them in a
pond, and then the river. They swan
with the accuracy Of bullet, never
deviating hairs breadth's, and in
very thin little tube, fastened to the
under part of the fish with two copper
wire rings, we were able to send mes
sages to one another. You see one of
us would fix a fish, set him in the
river carefully pointed to the spot
across the river where the other was
and let him 60. Off he would swim
like flash. would signal to my
brother and he would drop line with
favored fly of meat Oh the end into
the water, and in few moments he
would feel bite and up he would pull
out fnny messenger. My brother
would cut the string in the fish's mouth
and read the message, then answer it,
and put the fish back in the water
and steer it for me. BY that way we
had lots Of fun. You catch the idea I?
Well, when l was with Porter that's
the way did. He saw me fishing. as
did his officers. But he saw nothing

Men Stare.

Does a pretty woman became accus-
toned to being stared at by men in
public conveyances The subject is
suggested to me by something wit
messed in a Franklin avenue, Brook
lyn car leaving the Broadway ferry
about six o'clock the other evening.
The vehicle was crowded with men
returning from business, and was just
about to start when an exceedingly
beautiful woman boarded it. She
came in ut the front door, and was i'm
mediately given seat in the corner
next it, where she was within range Of
the eyes Of almost all the passengers
of the sterner sex. She was dressed in
quiet but rich mourning, her shapely
hands being incased in perfectly fit
ting black kid gloves that covered far
back of the wrist. In a moment every
eye was riveted on her lovely face.
The woman at first did not seem to
notice that she was the observed of all
the observers. Presently she appear.
ed to appreciate the fact, and. with
toss of her dainty head, she glanced
at the signs over the rear door. Then
she looked at those in front and then
her eyes traversed the advertis ements
on the side of the car. But the stare
continued. 1t became a question of
time as to how long she could keep
her eyes from meeting those of some
of the men who were admiring her,
when peculiar relief came to her.
A lad Of about 13 entered the car on
crutches. A gentleman resigned to
the little cripple seat just opposite
the lady, and as the boy stretched out
in front of him his rigid and steel.p pro-
tected left leg, the lovely woman's
eyes fell on him, while a smile, as if
of relief from restraint, played over
her beautiful face. When | left the
car at DeKalb avenue, a good mile
from where the cripple entered, the
lady was still looking with kind ex-
preston into the boys pain.stamped
countenance, and the men were yet
gazing into her face, made more pretty
than ever in repose by the sympathet-
ic smile that it wore. | venture to
assert that the lady in mourning is
pitilessly stared at whenever she ap-
peared in public. Has she become
accustomed to the eye worship of the
sterner sex? Here is a query that
might afford a subject for some Of your
sensational contemporaries that are
continually filling their columns with
correspondence about social phenome-
na.-New York Star.

WITHOUT RELI I0US ISSTRUC-
TON.

AMERICANS contribute millions TO
send the Gospel, or what they sup
pose 10 be such, to the heather, but
live under a system Of laws and a
social orier the practical effect OF
which is to deprive a large proper
ton OF their own children Of relig-
ious instruction OF any kind. The
absurdity Of such . condition over
towers every other feature Of it..
Speaking in relation to it, the New
YORK School Journal says:
The religious bodies in the State Of
New York are emphasizing the dis
tinction between sectarianism and
religion, and are unanimous in their
opinion that sectarianism in every
form should be excluded from the
public schools. But they are agreed
that the state. for its own sake, should
instruct children in reverence for God
as the basis Of morals. 1t is aTac; that
more than one-third Of the school
population in the Stae receive no
religious instruction Of any kind 1t IS
a necessity that these children should
lie instructed in morals. but how can
they be, since the highest legal au-
thoritv has decided that neither the
reading Of the Bible horthe repeating
OF prayers can form any par; Of
school exercises, or be regulated by
school discipline?' II the beliefin the
of God is at the basis OF true
and the doctrine OF theism
cannot be taught in our schools, how
can our children be instructed so as TO
become good? This is conundrum.
But the belief that even the teaching
Of morality is not essential seems TO
be quite general, for Of the sixty-one
school commissioners in this State
thirty-six report that no instruction
in morality is required in the schools
under their care"
With slow moving but none the
less irresistible force, the conviction
will come over the American nation
that not all the elements Of such an
education as is required to make
good citizens, is embraced in its
school system, Of which it has boasted
so much. Patriotic thinkers feel
deep concern over the future pros
pect relating to this subject, and
even the most sanguine optimist
finds it dificnlt to view with cheer
ful confidence the accommodating re-
suits of an experience which proves
that man'sintellectual faculties may
soar to the lDftiest heights while his
moral nature is sinking to the lowest
depths. The American system Of
is lacking vital elements.

'M0RMONSv II CANADA.

THE New York Herald has an
article in relation to the ''Mormon''
settlement on Lees Greek, in AL
berta, Canada, evidently written by
z correspondent sent there for that
purpose. The article is dated Mac
leOd, Alberta, N.w.T., April Is, 1890,
is accompanied by an illustration
showing a part of the settlement,
and is suhjoined:
Most readers Of the Herald are
probably aware that during the past
few years there has been a very pro-
nounced movement of Mormons from
Utah toward the Canadian Northwest.
The advance guard Of these Mormon
settlers consisted Of Mr.. Z. o. Card one
Of Brigham Young's sons-in-law, now
president Of the Canadian colony. and
one or two others. After examining
various paris Of the Northwest they
finally selected Lees Creek AS most
suitable for their purpose. There, in
the spring Of 1857, a few families
pitched their tents. and whatever OF a
Mormon problem Canada may have
20 contend with had commenced.
With characteristic industry and en-
terprise they at once went diligently TO
work, and although it was June when
their crops were put in they obtained
q very fair return on the subsequent
harvest. BY that time. too. substan-
tial log buildings had taken the place
Of tents and covered wagons, and a
visitor could not help being struck
with the snug and thrifty appearance
ofthe settlement. In that short sum
mer they had done more work than
many other settlers who had been in
the country for years.
STEADY AND RAPID PROGRESS.
1.-THE progress OF the settlement has
been steady and rapid ever since.
Fresh arrivals each year have swelled
the population Of the colony, until the
original Insignificant few have in
creased to some three hundred souls.
The settlement contains a good store
and is provided with church and
school house. Last summer 4 steam
threshing machine was taken in, and
a saw and grist mill are among the
probabilities Of the near future.
The Mormons are not the emily set
tiers in that part ofihe country. There
was very fair Gentle settlement in
the vicinity before the advent OF the
Laiter-day Saints. These settlers speak
Of the Mormons in the highest terms
as neighbors, and certainly nc visitor
in their settlement can ever complain
Of an inhospiiable reception. can
speak from experience as regards this,
for l have never met with a warmer
or more hospitable welcome than that
| received among the Mormons at
Lees Creek.
LOCATION OF THE SETTLEMENT.
Lees Creek is a small stream which
empties into the ST. MarS's River,
