In it's frantic mothers arms. Strange
to say, it recovered with proper care.
but it was long time before Mr.. Jaclg
son was relieved from the dreadful
sicknlnR feeling; and where in this
whole town could you find another
man, who like him threw every
thought OF self aside and plunged into
the unknown horrors of the cess pool.
Mr.. Jaekson's whole life has been pass

The managers OF the big steamer
Excelsior do not like the tug parties
that are being formed almost every
day to go to the fishing banks, and
threaten to enforce tho law, which
provides that tugs shall not carry pas
sengers. Every party that is formed
is lust that much taken away from
the big boat, but as tho number on II
Ii SO greut, and it is almost totally en-
closed, the opportunities for fishing
are limited.
Those who fish from the lower deck
of the Excelsior are liable to be hook
ed in the face or hands, or struck with
heavy dipsy by some one on the up
per decks, and this, to say the least
is not very pleasant, while on the tugs
everyone has all opportunity to fish
without being molested. Some Of the
captains OF the tugs will take out IL
cense to carry these fishing parties.
