Shells were still in the air, and with ter

fell exhausted upon the ground beyond
the range of the enemy's artillery, al

Nobody was killed by those shells,
but the 'Rebs' must have laughed to see
us run, and laughed louder yet when
our cattle ran into their lines as they
did. I felt more or less uncomfortable
always in going into battle afterward,
but never again lost my nerve as I did
at my fire baptism before Yorktown. -

The Fisheries of Lake SUPERIOR.

At little Port Arthur alone the figures
of the fishing industry for the market
are astonishing. In 1888 the fishermen
there caught 100000 pounds of white
fish, 360, 900 pounds of lake trout, $4,000
pounds of sturgeon, 10000 pounds of
pickerel and 80, 1000 pounds of other fish,
or more than million pounds in all.
They did this with an investment of
$500 in boats and $4,000 in gill and
pound nets. This yield nearly all went
to Chicago packing company, and it is
in the main Chicago and Cleveland CAPT.

The Governors onills.

The governor of this commonwealth
signs every bill with quill. This isn't
because he is fonder of that particular
kind of pen, but it is rather in obedience
to well established custom that has OBJ
tanned with the chief magistrates of the
last decade. There are always few
members of the legislature that have the
collectors passion, and requests are
regularly received by Private Secretary
Roads from lawmakers and others for
pens that the governor has used for
signing bills. Accordingly dozens Of
these quilts are purchased ever so often.
and the governor makes his signature
each time with new pen, which is
carefully preserved and set aside for the
next quill hunter that calls Boston
Globe.

The talk turned upon personal cour-
age in a conversation had the other
day with an aid-de-camp of General
Alexander Hays. The veteran, who had
the name of being the most daring aid
on Hays staff, said: "You ask me how
felt when first smelled powder, so to
speak. Well, after the lapse of all these
years I'm almost ashamed to tell you. I
was panic stricken, scared out of my
senses, my courage oozed out of me in
an instant, and small boy could have
captured me without trouble. This aw-
full experience came after I had been
about year in the army. The regi-
ment of infantry in which Twas was pre-
pairing to go into camp. Wewere few
miles outside of Yorktown, which was
in the possession of the Confederates,
but none of US, not even our officers,
realized the proximity of the enemy.
There were some cattle with the army,
and some how or other some of my COM
rades and were part of the crowd that
drove the beeves to the place where they
were to be slaughtered.
s'We formed circle, sort of bull
ring, and fell to skylarking and firing
our pistols at the cattle as they ran
hither and thither. It was all laughter
and shouting. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, a sound that we had
never heard before rose above the clamor.
1t was sort of whirring howl, lasting a
few seconds only, but long enough to
strike terror into our hearts The men
who had been as gay and noisy as school
boys minute before were dumb.

own affairs kept me busy. l felt as if
my boots were nailed to the ground.
They wouldn't move, neither would my
legs-in fact I had lost control of my

knees sagged out.

of some hideous, deadly bird flying over

the enemy was Smelling us, All ! knew
for sure was that somehow my life,
which had enjoyed so much minute

They Agreed Then and After.

A Baptist minister took charge of a
parish near Boston where he knew that
one man was decidedly opposed to his
passionate. Soon after his arrival the
Rev. Mr.. x. called upon Mr.. A.
Brother" said he, Il hear that you
think 1 am the wrong man to be the
pastor of this church"
"'Well, to be frank" replied Mr.. A., 81
do think that another would have filed
the place better"
Now that is just what Think said
the pastor. "But as long as we hold this
opinion in opposition to the majority of
the parishioners, let's try to be unselfsh
and make the best of it."
After that call Mr.. x. never had a

SILVER.

1t is Of no use to attempt TO disguise the
fact that silver is shaky. The fact that
there has been recent stffening in price
does not count for much against the causes
that are operating for a fall. Silver, like
everything else. Is subject TO the law OF
demand and supply. and the prospect now
IS That the demand will be reduced. IL the

out coming TO some agreement az to the
ratio at which gold and silver shall circu-

tended to tide silver over until other nations
should come to our assistance. Since other
nations refuse to come the United States
will let silver drop. The commercial value
OF silver dollar now is but about two
thirds that OF a gold dollar, although
their money value Is held at parity. But
with silver falling from month to month IL
will be- hazardous to attempt to sustain so
large volume Of silver at its present
money value, and impossible If the pur-
chase OF silver should be continued. But If
