The Progressive Farmer says
there were from ten to twelve thou
sand people at Rocky Mount to
hear Weaver. If they were there
thew were hid, for we did dot see
them. Elsewhere we have given

have taken some pains Oh different
occasions to estimate crowds and we
think we made the estimate large

 A correspondent can insure a correct, ly addressed and probably prompt an swer by writing his full address on the reply fold of the card before mailing it; the card. on it's first journey being fold ed SO as to cover the reply address. The receiver has simply to write his answer on the reply card, tear it off the inquiry card and reinail it.
 If one does not care to preserve thein, quiry or 10 write a lOug answer, the cards need not be separated In that case a reply perfectly ineligible, un- equivocal and binding for all business purposes may be written in one or two words in answer 10 a direct question

That Hnd Been Swallowed.
 Ihc sccne of the following incident was about forty miles from Gloyers- vile, on a beautiful little lake just across the table lsyrd at Piseco lake n Hamilton county. The lake is not large, in no place being more than mile wide, while it measures from two to three miles long. The day was all that a fisherman could desire, aud every condi- tion was right for good fishing. X party of three were in the boat, namely, l.. [. Everest. his friend. Professor Spencer, from Brooklyn, and the writer They had driven up from Garoga and were more than delighted with their luck. They had taken nearly fifty picllerel in less than half a day. and the size was good, weighing from 9l5 to pounds. The last turn around the lucky point was being made before we started for home Everest, who was trolling one of the lines said;
 live got another; he's good big one from the way he pulls.
 Everest let him play at one time near ly goo feet of line before tho fish could be turned When he had been brought into sight he was not so large as some we had already in the boat, but there was an unusual motion all about him. Soon the line was drawn SO tightly it was necessary to let him play again. When brought back it was discovered that q larger pickerel had attempted to swallow the one on the hook, which was Qow quite exhausted.
 The big fellow still followed, shark. like, for the dead body of his victim, winch, however, We were not disposed to give up Just as Everest was about to swing the fish on his hook into the boat the professor took up the oar, hop iug to strike and thus capture the large one The movement of the oar attracted the attention of the fish, and in twin kle he made pass at it. The blade was about seven inches wide, but his jaws grated across the upper and lower edge, saving a groove iu either side with his sharp teeth.
 The professor, by carrying the oar for, ward with the movement of the fish. at the same time raising it from the water, landed the huge fellow into the boat. He weighed l3I5 pounds The fish on the hoo!; only weighed three pounds, but showed signs of battle, being bitten in several places. Upon opening tim we found, as is often the case. a fish of smaller size in his stomach. This one showed signs of life and was opened. We then discovered a pretty little gold cAatelaine watch, and were surprised that the time agreed with our watches end that it was ruumug.
 More than pleased with our fishing ex, petition, we returned to the Adirondack hotel and infoysued Landlord George d. Mccoy of our luck, at the sume time showing the watch. In less than twomin- utes all the guests about She house were in the office, and among the number . pretty young lady from Albany, who said the watch was a tobcnof friendship which she had prizodyory highly Whan on the lake in the orly part Of the day ithad fallen into Che water. and she sup posed was lost It is needless 10 say she was oyerjoyea at its recovery Albany Journal

The maids of honor in attendance upon Queen Victoria receive an annual allowance of S2, 800, but it is claimed that nearly the entire amount is spsnt ia dressmakers' bills, for the plain less of attire favored by the Queen herself does not extend to those ladies in wait ing, about whose frills and furbolows her Majesty is exceedingly fas6dious, and it is one of the unwritten, but man datory, regulations of the court that the same dress shall not appear more than twice in the royal presence. When one remembers that the attendance is almost daily required, the expenses of this much coveted service can be im- agined. The restraint of court life is severe, but the duties of maid of hon or are not arduous, for the present Queen is far less exacting and frac- tious mistress than was Queen Char lotte, under whose discipline the tal- ented Fanny Burney suffered so'great- ly as finally to break down in health.

nIInIon. of Iunel spaee..

All the energies of the fungus plant seem to be directed to the production of germs for propagating is kind. Their number is often almost iucMculable. You have doubtless observed that the common puff ball when mature is filled with a fine dust. and this consists en- tirely of spores corresponding to seeds, which are eventually difTusej in fine air by the bursting of the puff ball. Iuasin- gle puff ball more than l0,000,50 of them have been counted. and when these minute bodies are once set afoat in the atmosphere they are distributed abroad over an indefinite space, being so small that it is diliicult to-conceive of place from which they could be excluded
 Their astonishing fertility and rapidity of growth are among the most remark able characteristics of this vegetable tribe Interview in Washington Star,

John L. Sullivan was born 5000 years too late said Edward Crouer, at the Southern yesterday to a Globe. Democrat reporter "Of course, if he he'd come into this world at that remote period he would not be alive to-day
 but there are people who could become reeonciled to Johns absence without much difficulty. Had John been the contemporary of Perseus or Achilles the imaginative Greeks would have dei- fled him, and great men would have set up nights to write poetic lies about him. He might have had stellar con stelIation named after him, instead of being forced to content himself with seeing his name carved upon the stern of an occasional canalboat, or blear- eyed bulldog respond to it. When clubs were trumps men like John L.
 became kings, and had their busts in the capitol instead of sub-cellar sa- loon But David, the sweet singer of Isreal, inaugurated a new era in which brain is boss. Goliath, of Gath, was a much bigger man than cur John. He was feet taller and put up according ly. He travelled exclusively on his shape, and for forty days bIuf'ed a whole army.
