ibis FLY, SHOWING METHOD OF TYING
WINGS

I say apology, because it is foregone
conclusion that you will have made
botch and not Fly. Be not discouraged
thereby; every one makes botches ut first
But in making the botch you shall learn
the basic rules Of the art, and you shall I'M
derstand as no words of mine may make
you what it is you have TO do. From this
out it is practice that rendereth perfect.
Artificial flies are divided into winged
and not winged. For the wings you need
two or more small feathers. which must be
right and left, in order that the convex sur
faces may be opposite. Choose them OF a
size and strip off the down at the base of
the feather. They are put on the hook
from below, the feather part pointing out
IN front and downward when the Quill is
secured with silk. Then the feather IS
bent up into position and again wrapped
with the silk in order TO secure it.
AS there be men who are Tat, so are
there flies of rotund body. This is made
by using mohair or fur, or, on a pinch, cot
ton wool 1t is shaped by the fingers into
a strand which. when wound, viii roughly

THE ART OF FLY TYING.
IT REQUIRES EXPERT FINGERS AND
WELL TRAINED EYES.
You Need Not Possess All the Materials

NEW YORK, April 27.-To those who are
fond OF the gentle art of angling, and have
learned the science of fly fishing, the de-
light of the sport may be divided into two
parasitic fishing itself and the anticipa-
ton thereof. 1t is somewhat difficult to
say which of these is the more pleasure
giving. All men to whom the spring of
the rod and the whirr of the reel are famil-
lar know that the early spring work, when
the rod is oiled and rubbed, the reel taken
apart, polished and treated with vaseline,
the line overrun so carefully, and the lead
ers and flies examined, is scarcely less en-
joyable than the sport on the water. This
fact, if others were lacking, is reason suf-
ficient why every fisherman should make
his own flies.

Colonel Carr in short but eloquent tax

the day. The Governor was at home
among his audience, as most OF them mad
known him all their lives. and he was ire
ouently applauded during his speech. lie
spoke of the great importance OF the IN
dustry being inaugurated. The only rea-
son North Carolina has not kept pace with
other IRON States has been the want OF
proper transportation that want Is now
done away with, and there is no reason
why our State may not rank fayoraoiy
with other iron producing States.
NO FOREIGN LABOR.
The Governor closed with an exortation
TO the company 10 avoid above all things
the employment of foreign labor. which
has already proved one of the greatest
curses to our beautiful country. After the
speech the cornerstone was laid by Mr.. j.

construction of the steel furnace.
STOPPED THE SALE.
At the close Of the ceremonies IL was
announced that few choice lots of the

QUITE ENTERPRIslNG BURGLARS.
They Take What Few Things They Find
At Home in Petersburg Mansions.


Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG. VA, November 6.-There
were no less than eight attempts at bur
glary IN this city last night, some OF which
were successful; in others the burglars
were discovered and frightened away; III
is supposed that all of the work was done
by one aud the same gang. In all instances
entrance TO the houses was effected by
cutting the blinds and forcing the WIN
doWs. In some of the dwellings the
thieves made free search for yaluables, en-
tering the chambers Of the sleeping in
mates, ransacking bureau drawers, and
scattering things upon the floors.
THEY WANTED MONEY.
Their object was evidently TO obtain
money. as they stole but little else. AT
MIR. L. r. Beckwith's residence, on Mar
ket street, the thieves helped themselves
TO provisions. At Mrs. Magee's. on Friend
street, they entered the chamber and stole
$40. At Henry Byrd's. on Linton street,
they were discovered and driven away. At
Miss Mary Dunns. same street, they cut
the blinds and awakened the inmates. In
their hurried flight they left large slip
per which they had stolen somewhere. At
Mr.. Robert Shackelfords, same street,
they got double-case gold watch some
money and clothing, and check on the
Suffolk Bank was stolen, but they found II
in the yard. At ]. NJ. Taylors store, west
Washington street, PROVISIONS were taken,
and from Dir. 3. w. Pughess house valu-
able microscope was stolen.
oo-As-YoU-PLEAsE THIEVES.
Entrance was effected into the residence
of DIR. X. II. Jones, things were scattered
about in the chamber where himself and
wife were sleeping. and his gold watch
thrown upon the floor. In several in
stances the clothing of the sleeping in
mates were taken out Of the rooms before
being searched. At some of the places the
thieves were seen but could not BIO identi-
fed. There was ma turally quite commo-
ton to-day in the neighborhood where
the robberies were committed.

The first four weeks il was kept open

There would have been larger crowd
