THE TILE FISH.

The fishermen Of the country hope great

England coast of the "tiIe fish," species
that was thought to be extinct The fish
appeared in 1873, and four years later mil
lions of them were found dying in the water.
Now vessel Of The Fish Commission has
just discovered that the fish have recovered
from the mysterious influence that destroyed
them in 1882. and the Grampus is now out
on a cruise OF investigation. Rene Bache,
in WorthingtOn's Magazine, says:
THE cause which brought about so COM
plete a destruction of this species in the
North Atlantic is very easily explained, in
the light Of what is now known as TO the
conditions governing the tropical stream
in which the tile fish lives. In the year
1882 an unusual frigidity prevailed in the
waters along the eastern coast OF the
United States perhaps owing in part to the
presence of an extraordinary amount OF ice
floated down from the north. The cold
water encroached upon the warm current.

The mighty tomb of Augustus, now thea

The one unpleasant thing about this mag
nifcent old wall of Genoa is the ugly fact
that the great prison is built within and
made a part of it, and you cannot walk by
the wall or drive around il without hearing
the clanking Of chains. These huge yellow

A FAITHFUL BURRO
He Returned Good for the
Evil Done Him.
SAVED HIS MASTERS LIFE.
Remarkable Instance of Sagacity Dis
played by One of the Brute
Creation.
Written for THE MoRNISa CALL.

There was hardly breath of air stirring,
and the torrd sun beat down on the sandy
road as if it had made up its mind TO burn
II out of existence. All around was the
sandy plain of Arizona, and far as the eye
could reach in any direction it met no sooth-
ing patch of green except such trees as rose
above the adobe walls of Tucson.
On the road a man and burro could be
be seen going toward the city. The man
was walking behind and the burro was
carrying a large pack of mesquite wood
that his owner intended to sell in the town.
The latter went along slowly, but will
ingIy. although it was the third trip he had
made over tie desert road that day. On
his trip to town in the morning his master,
Santiago by name. had sold q load of the
same kind of wood and then spent the
money for fiery mescal, so that on the way
home he was very cross and gave the poor
little beast many cruel blows.
AS the two were going to town again the
burro seemed to be wondering if his master
would do the same this trip. But he might
have saved himself The trouble. for that is
just what Santiago did. and this time he
was worse than before
The two trips to town had obtained for
Santiago nothing more than the mescat he
had drunk, and on the way home he beat
the burro nearly every step of the way. 1t

consume the sand by heat, but the little

Badly Broken Up.

Rochester Democrat and Chrouicle.i
Some very amusing testimony was intro
duced few days ago in one of the numer-
Gus Sidewalk cases against the city being
tried before n referee. The plaintiff, who
had slipped on an icy sidewalk some time
during last winter and had received quite
severe injuries about the neck, was col
ored man and one of the witnesses was a
companion of his. THIS witness, il seems,
had assisted the plaintiff to his nome after
HE fall and had also assisted in nursing
him back to health. At the request of the
plaintiffs attorney, the witness gave some
thing of detailed statement concerning
the appearance of the injuries which the
man had received.

the back2"

THE SOUVENIR COIN.
How 1t Is Looked Upon in Bright and
Breezy Texas.
Galveston News.


Fifty OF the Columbian half-dolar pieces
have been received in this city from the
Worlds Fair Association at Chicago. These
coins are ugly enough.
The front side OF the coin has an elegant
likeness of the late Sitting Bull This, how
ever, Is said to be meant for Columbus. The
patriotic American can take his choice and
the Know Nothngs will certainly claim the
head to be intended for Sitting Bull because
of that gentleman being an American. On
the right shoulder appears the letter b.
This certainly indicates the location of either
a boil or a barhaeie.
There also is n likeness of Columbus ship
under sail. AT first blush the ship seems 10
be on wheels, but closer examination shows
that the two wheels are the Eastern and
Western hemisphere. The ship seems to be
surrounded by herd OF porpolses, but prob
ably this is meant for waves.
There is a fishing pole rugged out of an
after port in the cabin OF ship. and one
gathers an idea that the venturesome mar
iner is either batting his hook and living
about bite he just had, or has hauled in a
fish. for the line is taken in aboard ship
