WHALE SHOW.

The whale show is taking rest. For a
week or so the ravishing cadenzas of the
steam calliope commingled with the native
ozone and the people visited the string Of
green cars that held the preserved monster
of the deep. After week or so the show
closed down and red flag was stuck in
the ground at either end of the outfit as
signal to engineers. The other day the
green train was pushed down in the south
ern end of the yards. where it still re-
mains, in harmless disuse. The manager,
it is said has gone on TO New York to col
lect new attractions for the exhibition,
and in due season will return and relieve
the town of the presence Of the leviathan.

CATCHING CARP.

Yesterday was good day to fish. and on
both sides of the Little Arkansas there
was a fisherman every thirty feet. Some
of them were catching fish and Others were
not. Two old darkies had the longest
strings. They claimed that their poles
were charmed, much TO the disgust and
chagrin of their less successful compan-
ions. The Little River is said to be chuck
full' of German carp, but it is said to be
well nigh impossible to catch them with
hook and line They are vegetarians and
do not take readily to meat bats Some
of the fishermen use prepared dough for
bait and with some success. A few are
caught, but not many Col Woodcock
hooked FIVE the other day, one Of which
weighed four pounds.

REFUSED THE GRAB.

Talking about our reform administra-
ton and the cutting down of salaries and
hundred useless and unnecessary ex-
penses, the EAGLE calls to mind that when
Capt. John 3. Carey was member of the
CITY council few years ago, that body
passed salary grab ordinance. Capt.
Carey refused that portion of the grab in
tended for him. and it is a fact that he
never drew the increased salary. And
that's the kind of an official and the kind
of man Capt. John B, Carey is.
