Every Sunday before the war Mori-
sot used to start at daybreak with his
bamboo fishing rod in his hand, his
tin bait and tackle box upon his back.
He used to take the train 10 Colombes
and to walk from there to the Island
of Maranthe. No sooner had he ar
rived at the river than he used TO be
gin to fish and continue fishing until
evening. Here every Sunday he used
to meet Monsieur Savage, a linen
draper from Paris, but stout and jovial
withal, and as keen fisherman more
over as he was himself.
Often they would sit side by side,
their feet dangling over the water for
half day at u time, and say scarcely
a word, yet little by little they be
came friends. Sometimes they never
spoke at all. Occasionally they
launched out into conversation, but
they understood each other perfectly
without its aid, for their tastes and
ideas were the same.
On spring morning in the bright
sunshine, when the light and delicate
mist hovered over the river, and these
two mad fisherman enjoyed a fore
taste of real summer weather, Morisot
would say to his neighbor "Hein
not bad, eh?n And Savage would re-
ply Il know nothing to beat it.
This interchange of sentiments was
quite enough TO engender mutual un-
derstanding and esteem.
In autumn, toward evening, when
the setting sun REDEEMED the sky and
cast shadows of the feeting clouds
over the water, when the river was
decked in purple, when the whole ho-
rizon was lighted up and the figures
Of the two friends were illumined as
18th fire. when the russet-brOwn of
the trees was lightly tinged with gold,
and the trees themselves shivered with
wintry shake, Monsieur Savage
would smile at Monsieur Morisot and
say What sight, eh p
And Monsieur Morisot, without even
raising his eyes from his float, would
answer Better than the Boulevards,

A Well KNOWN Writer.

Eugene Field, the talented Chicago
journalist, is thus described by an ad-
mirer in the Minneapolis journal: "A
smooth-faced gentleman who might be
taken while you wait-for a clergy
man or gambler, is Eugene Field. Mr..
Field is the Sharps and Flats of the
Chicago News. His father, R. NJ.
Field, Of Missouri, was the attorney
for the negro in the celebrated Dred
Scott case. 1t was the intention of
Mr.. Fields parents that he should be-
come President of the United States,
but the youthful Eugene put dampeI
upon that eminently proper ambition
by early evincing an aptitude for the
newspaper business. He received a
college education, polished until il
shone by a six months visit to Europe.
Here he gained knowledge of the
French Language that was as bread
cast upon the waters, for when PAU
Coquelin and Nine j. Hading visited
Chicago a few months ago NJ. Field
was made their official Interpreter. He
was also chiefly responsible for the in.

ElectricitY,s Freaks.

Electricity can add more oddities to
a fire than any other thing in creation.
A conflagration is bad enough at any
time, but when added to it electricity
starts out to have some fun, the result
is disastrous. During the storm in
New York one of the electric wires
broke on house on Grand street, and
rested on the wet tin gutter. The re-
suit was that it not only set fire to the
house, but ii made things exceedingly
lively for the whole neighborhood.
The first one to discover that electricity
was loose was man who began to ar
range his fruit shelves at O'Clock in
the morning. Everything was drip
ping wet, and of course the electricity
had perfect conductor to travel on all
over the place. The moment the fruit
man touched the fruit he began to re-
ceive shocks. He thought the years
and apples were bewitched. When the
proprietor of the house attempted to
open his shutters he received a shock
that knocked him down. Then, when
passers-by began to tread on the wet
pavement they started to dance and
got out of that immediate neighbor-
hood as quickly as possible. Sparks
were flying all along the gutter, and
pretty soon the house took fire. Even
when the firemen came round they had
to dance around pretty lively with the
repeated electric shocks.

Children in a Den OF Snakes.

A party of sportsmen from Fort
Stockton, Tex, while hunting ante
Opes in the Sierre Charrote few days
ago, made a most singular discovery.
Riding up narrow gorge they caught
sight of gigantic rattlesnake trailing
his hideous length along the steep
crag just above their heads. Several
Of the party, states the truthful CORE
spondent, fired at the reptile, but none
of the shots had any effect beyond
causing his snakeship to accelerate his
leisurely movement. The sound of
their shots brought a man ont of cave
in the rocks, and after some talk the
hunters were invited to enter. They
found a woman and children there.
The woman lighted torch, revealing
the cave swarming with snakes of
every description and size. They hung
from rocky projections in the roof and
sides of the cavern, kissing at the un-
wonted light, and glided about from
one corner to another. One great
shiny black monster lay across the
throat of a sleeping infant, gently
waving its horrid head above the
child's mouth. An older child was
eating something from an earthern-
ware vessel, and a large rsttler leaning
from his shoulder would swing over
and eat from the dish, while the child
would strike it with its bare hand
whenever its strange messmate seemed
getting more than its share.

y LEAF FROM The MOUNTAINS.
81 dess Dod's dwopped a wainbow
And bwoke it all to smash!'

After sojourning several weeks IN a
placA where nature holds high revel,
having climbed the mountain from
whence Minnewaska and Mohawk "a
few miles dIstapt-with the Catsklll
range outlined Oh the horizon stand
revealed,-after long drives and num-
berless walks at an altitude from which
Autumn's lovely panorama, spread
over the hills and valleys,-can be
seen, turn to the above hnes,-the
inspiration of a little child,-ln re-
cent issue of your papers, for terse and
beautiful INTERPRETATION of the scene
Such lovely September this has
beenl One longs to remain and see
the deepening tints, the gorgeous
robes of October.
The delicious silence-the hush OF
rest after achievements, which per-
vades the air, is most grateful after the
din and activity of the metropolis.
Every hour has its special charm,
from early dawn, when the shadows
flee away from the mountains, and they
seem to rise in majesty to greet the
rising sun until nightfall, when it Is
lost to view meath the western horizon,
leaving with Its golden splendors
promise of resurrection.
At noon-tide the mountain breezes
hold their breath, while the sun kisses
into added color and sweetness the
flowers and fruits still ungarnered.
At twilight the air is tremulous with
the domestic infelicity of the katy,
dds" One hears s'Katy did," and
"Katy didn't" with symphony from
the gurgling waters of the Platteklll,
and falls as,eep wondering which side
will have the last word in the dispute.
1 believe Katy to have been the vic
tim of malice; that some word or deed
frankly acknowledged has been turned
against her, and my heart warns for
her, when hear, clear and strong
''Katy didn't, she didn't"
AS my visit draws to close, I am
bewidered over the possibility of tax
ing with me the lovely bits of wIldness

One word about this cottage. For
a kindly people, a plain but plentiful
table, perfect freedom to entertain, be

renewed faith in God and humanity.

After this was done the gaspipe pre-

morning. The lord of the house was
he first to discover it, and, after he
recovered from the shock it caused
him, he began to cautiously examine
t. After awhile he went back in
he yard, first warning his wife and
laughter not to go near the "bomb I"
Is he called it.
Presently he returned carrying the
,lothesline, on one end of which he
made a slip-noose. He advanced to-
ward the cause of all the trouble and
;arefully slipped the moose over it and
irew it taut. Then telling his wife
md daughter to go down to the corner
he retreated to the back of the yard,
md climbing over the fence he shut
lis eyes and gave the rope a sudden

sraces, who were watching him from

When the poor man, who had suffered
IN awful strain on his nerves, pulled
himself up till his nose rested on the

ONE OF THOSE sCHENCKs.
There Were Plenty of Them and They
Were q Jolly Lot.

There Were Plenty of Them and They
Were a Jolly Lot.
When the war of the rebellion broke
out, Gen. Robert c. Schenck had been
SO long in public life and away from
Ohio that he didn't know, even by
sight, half of the numerous nephewt
who were the sons of his half-dozen
brothers. He was appointed brigadier
general, and it so happened that one
of the regiments assigned to his bri-
gade over in Virginia, was the Twenty
Second Ohio, commanded by Colonel
Alexander Mcdowell McCook.
Several of the companies of this reg
iment were raised in and around
Dayton, where the Schencks lived in
swarms, and as the family was loyal
all through, there was a goodly num-
ber of Schencks in Company b and
Company F of that regiment. 1t SO
happened that the Schenck contingent
in the regiment was thoroughly i'm
bued with love of fun, and when any
mischief was afoot the Schencks were
sure to have a hand in tiff party
was hauled up for discipline, one or
more Schencks was sure to be of the
number. This fact was very annoying
to the general, as might have been ex-
pected, and he did not try to conceal
his annoyance. While the brigade lay
near Fairfax Courthouse strict orders
against foraging were issued; believe
it was even threatened to have foragers
shot. One morning a party of five
foragers, captured the night before,
was brought before General Schenck
for examination. The general looked
at the faces closely, but recognized
none, and then asked the first man:
"What is your name and regiment?"
"Peter Brown, Second Ohio, sir"
"Ohp Gin a relieved tone of voice)
81 was afraid you might be one of
those -- Schencks."
"What's your name?" he inquired
of the next.
The youth looked the general straight
"Why, general, I'm one of those blank
Schencks."
The officers standing by did not try
to restrain their boisterous mirth,
while General Schenck glared furiously
at the unabashed Buckeye youngster.
In a moment he shouted to the officer
of the guard:
"Take these scoundrels away; l will
attend to them another time" The
culprits were marched off and the gen.
eral had time to just get into his tent
before he broke out into a prolonged
it of laughter-New York Tribune.

MOTHER AND CHILD.

One night tiny dew-drop fell
Into the bosom of a rose;
~Dear little one, love thee WE'LL
Be ever here thy sweet reposel"
Seeing the rose with love bedight,
The envious sky frowned dark, and then
Ssnt forth q messenger OF light
And csnght the dew-drop up again.
"OA, give me back my heavenly child
Ny loyei" the rose in anguish cried;
Alas, the sky triumphant smiled,
And so the flower, heartbroken, died.
