Delay Of Malls.

One curious cause of delay in the
delivery Of mail in inclement seasons
is not generally understood. 1t results
from the fact that mail is assorted
for delivery, or thrown" as they say
in the business, on the trains. Two
men cover a certain line of road and
one is supposed to be at one end when
the other is ready to start from the
opposite end. If one gets caught in
snow storm or by accident the other
goes out as usual and both get on one
end. The consequence is that when
the next train is ready there is no
railway mail clerk for the run and
mail Is not sent out.

With start, Raymond Marshall sur
veyed the man before him. Could II be

trast between those two times, the
ragged, intoxicated tramp before him
was certainly the well-drossed, sedate-
looding clergyman who had performed
the marriage ceremony between himself
and Beatrice at the Hopedale hotel.
What did 1t mean? A wild thrill per-
vaded his frame at tho mans next
words.

A GOOD MANS ANGER.
Charles Summers Resentment of Englands
Attitude During the War.

Charles Summers Resentment of England'i
Attitude During the War.
But especially toward Great Britain
Mr., Sumner felt his strongest, posi-
bly, his most bitter resentment.
Reared in the study Of her history,
filled with respectful admiration for
her great men, learned in all the de-
tails Of her constitutional existence,
sincere follower of the liberal school
from which her greater glories
spring, and, so to speak, enamored of
those abolitionists who, long before
his day, had trodden the path upon
which he had walked unhinchlngly,
Mr.. Sumner, it may be said, felt, as
regards that nation, which had we'll
nigh openly declared its hostility of
the Unions cause, a sentiment of love
betrayed.
How was it possible that Lord Rus
sell, the impregnable bulwark Of the
abolltionist cause in England, had be-
come in 1862 an opponent of Ameri-
can abolitionists? 1t was always
with bitter sadness, though never
angrily, that Mr.. Sumner expressed
himself regarding the existing rela-
tiOns between the United States and
Great Britain. TO his mind that ma
tion was guilty Of a great moral
wrong, and owed those who had suf-
fered therefrom a manifest atone
ment,
Such was the feeling which inspired
his speeches, at times eloquently pas
sionate, on the existing intercourse
between the two Anglo-Saxon nations.
On reading them one can readily I'M
derstand what explosions such fiery
words would provoke on the other
side of the Atlantic. A challenge Of
war was thought to be concealed I'M
der them. The orator was even ac-
cused of exciting the worst of feel
ings and Of appealing to the darkest
of hatreds. But in all this English
public opinion was mistaken. Mr..
Sumner only considered that Lord
Palmerston, Lord Russell and their
colleagues had wronged the United
States, and it was by appealing to
higher sentiments that he demanded
justice Of their successors.

Dynamite-fls fishing -- the killing Of
fish by exploding dynamite bombs I'M
der or upon the water, and then gath
ering the stunned or killed fish which
are brought to the surface-is so gen.
orally condemned that there will not
be much sympathy for the human
performer in the following tragedy,
recorded in some Of the English news
papers;
A man in Bldeford, In the south
western part Of England, had dog
which he had carefully trained to
bring to him whatever he had thrown
into the water. Early one morning
this man went out to a pond near his
place, carrying with him dynamite
bomb, with which he intended to
make haul" of the trout in the
pond. He lighted the fuse, and threw
the bomb into the water.
Unluckily he had either failed to
notice or else had forgotten that his
dog followed him. On the instant
the dog sprang into the water, swan
to the floating bomb seized 1t and
brought it ashore, to place it at his
masters feet.
The man tried to command the dog
to drop the terrible object, but the
animal showed the excellence of his
training by clinging to it and rapidly
approaching the shore,
Then the lazy fisherman took to his
heels. The dog came ashore and fol-
lowed him at more rapid rate than
the man could run, the dynamite still
In its mouth and the fuse burning.
1t was wild race for high wall
not far away. The dog gained every
instant. The man was in despair,
for he knew the bomb would explode
presently with murderous force. He
reached the wall and scrambled over
it just in time, for at that instant, as
the dog came to the foot of the wall,
the dynamite exploded.
The unfortunate dog was blown to
atoms, but the man escaped with a
severe shaking up and disposition
to fish in the future with a hook and
line

A delicious Flsh In the EAST.

One of the queerest fishes in the
world Is the gouramis, said an ichthy-
ologist. 1t Is native to the fresh waters
OF Cochin China, Farther India, Java,
Sumatra and Borneo. Specimens have
been known to attain a length OF six
feet and weight Of one hundred and ten
pounds. The flesh is so delicious that
efforts have been made to accllmatize
the creatures in many other countries,
but thus far these attempts have been
successful only on the island Of Maui
rltius.
About thirty Of them were imported
into the island of Cuba and planted in
ponds some years ago, but although
they grew and were healthy, they did
not breed. Accordingly, after awhile
the prospect Of propagating the species
became 80 hopeless that the governor
had them served up, one by one, upon
HE table upon state occasions. The
same difficulty has been met with else
where.
