South Cardinals Trout Corner.
Right up in the western corner of
South Carolina is perhaps the best
| trout-6shing region within the same
distance from New York. How it
came to be SO is most interesting
There are the foothills and some of
the mountains of the Blue Ridge or,
at least, of spur of that chain.
The streams never had any trout or
| fish of any sort in them. Yet on
! the other side of the mountains all
the waters were richly stocked. One
year, not so long ago, Gen. Wade
Hampton, who had summered there
in boyhood, took a barrel in wagon
and went over the mountains to get
as many trout as he could. He came
back with plenty, and whenever he
| crossed a stream on the east side of
| the range he threw a handful OF
young trout in and passed along.
Like Br'er Fox, he said nothing to
| nobody. In year or two he went
again and fished surreptitiously in
the waters that were supposed never
to have known a fish. He caught
| plenty. The next year the sparce
| population discovered their exist
| ence. Now the streams abound with
| splendid trout.-N. Y. Sun.

An Old Fable Rent Asunder.

"These stories of mothers throwing
their children into the Ganges is all n
'fakc, says areturned missionary. ~
never saw it done, or any one who
claimed to have seen it done, or, in fact,
ever heard there of its being done. 1t
is only in England and America that l
ever heard of it. Children are loved
there just as much as they ale here.
Motherhood is honOred more.
"The story of men throwing them.
selves into the Ganges in fits of religious
frenzy is another fairy tale. 1t prob
ably originated from the fact that at
the great festival held where the Ganges
emerges from the mountains into the
plain, called the 'Gate of God, in the
crowds that press down to the river to
bathe it happened formerly that some
were pushed or crowded into the stream
by accident and swept away. The Gov
ernment now takes precautions to pre-
vent such casualties. That such things
might easily happen you can see for
yourself when tell you that | saw at
the great festival in 1854 over 1000, 600
people there, according to the Cover n
ment estimate, at one time. When you
remember that'this festival was to ccle-
brate the completed course Of the con.
stellations of the zodiac through the
heavens, and that the ceremonial OF
bathing in tho river was to be per-
formed at sign from the priests that
the course OF the consultations was
completed, you will wonder that such
casualties were not frightful in their ex'
tent. - Chicago Ners.

EUGENE Fields Prank.

In 1884, the present writer, then an
editorial writer for the Chicago Daily
Nescs, did his work in the same room
where Mr.. Eugene Field wrote those
graceful verses and irresistibly funny
paragraphs which made the "Sharps and
Flats column Of that journal so eagerly
sought for. Both occupants of the room
were frequently subject to visits from ac-
ouaintances who CHANGED to be in the
city for the day, so they contrived
number of practical Jokes intended to in
crease the respect which some Of these
lay brethren had for newspaper writers
in general, and for these two in particu-
lar. One day an acquaintance Of Mr..
Fields boyhood, tall, gangling-looking
Missourian, cane in and made himself
known. After cordial greetings and
few moments Of conversation, Mr.. Field
clapped his hand to his brow, assumed
wild expression, and speaking sharply to
his room mate as il. he were an ananuen.
sis, said: "Take this poem down"
The amanuensis cleared the deck OF
his desk for action, and Mr.. Field began
to dictate poem. 1t was beautiful
little lyric upon which he had devoted
weeks of painstakiug work, but he reeled
it off as if it had just popped into his
mind, and to Increase the wonderment in
the mind of his guest, turned two or
three times in the course of the dictation,
and chatted with him about their boy
hood froIics. The eyes of the Missouriau
stood out in amazement, as, at the close
of the dictation, the amanuensls read the
'charmingly finished poem, and Mr.. Field
in tone of command, said:
"Send it up to the printer. Have it
put in tomorrow mornings paper"
The next morning the Missourian,
proud of his acquaintance with SO wonder
full man as Mr. Field had showed him.

Art of Wood Engraving.

Wood engravers all work with the
same tools and very much in the sane
manner, aud they are not much different
from watchcase engravers. First, they
require a good light on their work, and
their table or bench is always under a
window. Then they have a "pad,
shaped like a curling stone used by
Scotchmen on the ice, but very much
smaller. 1t. is of leather, filed with
sand, oval in form. On this the block
of wood can be turned and twisted in
any direction, while solid foundation
is also obtained. A msgnifying glass is
used, which is fastened to an upright
frame. and which can be easily adj
justed.
At an engraver's right hand is ar
ranged a score or more grayers and
stint tools" With his eye to the mag
nifying glass Che only uses one eye the
artist workman loses all interest in every
thing else around him, and for hours
and weeks he picks and picks at the
wood, slowly evolving a picture or por-
trait which sometimes is simply glanced
at for a moment and forgotten. Yet
these pictures cost the publisher of a
magazine from $50 to $500 apiece, the
latter being about the price paid for .

Dakota's Bad Lands.

The Bad Lands of South Dakota are
composed of white clay, which, by ac-
ton of the rains, has been cut into
hillocks. They are not high, seldom
more than forty or fifty feet, but it is up
ono and down another the whole way.
There are no water courses, the nearest
approach being gully forty feet deep,
and foot and half of mud at the bot
tom. At every few yards you must stop,
and, with spade and shovel, cut a path
down the side of hill in order to des-
cend and then up the side of the one OPP
posite in order to get up again. The
mud is as sticky as tar, and in going a
few yards the wheels of wagon become
solid round cakes, and all the mules you
can hitch to it will not be able TO pull it
a foot further. Then the spades are
brouget and the wheels cleared, the
operation being repeated two or three
times in a hundred yards. The extent
of the Bad Lands in South Dakota is
probably hundred miles from north to
south by fifteen to thirty miles wide.-

1t is recorded in the history of Louisl'
ana that the Matches, after their terrible
act of vengeance, took their prisoners u
strong fort and there kept them unit
the twenty-ffth of the following Febru'
ary.
Chevalier Loubois, with six hundred
soldiers from New Orleans and a large
body of friendly Indians, invested the
fort and forced the Sun to come to
terms. A parley was held and 1t was
agreed that if the prisoners were released
at the end of ten days hostilities should
cease.
Before the close of the stipulated
period, however, ON a dark and stormy
night, the Sun and his brayesst9le sorth
from their stronghold and escaped, leay-
ing all the prisoners behind.
Among these prisoners were Alphonse
de Villars, Madame Roman aud Claire.
Monsieur Roman had been killed early in
the terrible struggle at Fort Rosalie.
The young people were married at
New Orleans and shortly afterward went
to France, where their descendants still
keep alive the story of White Apple and
the massacre at Fort Rosalie. The same
of the great Sun is connected with The
family history by manuscript in deli
cate writing of Claire (Roman) dc Vii
