Fire was discovered in the furniture
and hardware store of George W. Redman
Saturday afternoon, and but for the
efforts of volunteer firemen it would
have been a serious conflagration. The
building is insured, but there is nothing
on the goods. The damage to the build
ing is $500; damage to goods, $500.
Among the many candidates for the
office of commissioner of ea shore fisher
les, is Wilmot B. Thurlow of this place,
who seems to be peculiarly well adapted
for the position, as he has a personal
knowle dye of all kinds of sea fish and
fishing.
He IS Republican, and has the honor
of being first of that persuasion to repre-
sent his town in the legislature, to which
he has twice been elected, despite the
exertions OF the opposing party. We I'M
derstand he has many letters, directed to
Gov. Cieaves, recommending his appoint
ment to the office, from men high in

Tunnel and Bridge to Copenhagen.

Copenhagen is often cut off from the
mainland during part of the winter by
accumulations of ice in the great belt,
and it is now proposed to make tunnel
between the islands of Seeland and Funen,
and bridge between Funen and the main.
land. The terrnini of the tunnel will be
at Italskow Pynt and Kunnshaved, and
it's length about II miles. The construc
tion will be easy, owing to the soft nature
of the bottom, and the island of Spragal
will be used for ventilation and other pur
poses. The cost of the tunnel is estimated
at 20,o00,ooo Danish crowns about 81,

crowns 1880, o00), and Copenhagen will

Eels and Their Spawn.

Young cells in passing up river show
the most extraordinary perseverance III
overcoming all distractions. The large
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is feet in height
on the Thames might be supposed suffi.
Gent to bar the progress of fish the size
Of darning needle. But young cells have
wholesome idea that nothing can stop
them, and in consequence nothing does.
Speaking of the way in which they ascend
fioodgates and other barriers, one writer
says: "Those which die stick to the post;
others, which get little higher, meet
with the same fate, until at last layer
of them is formed, which enables the
rest to overcome the difficulty of the
passage The mortality resulting from
such 'forlorn hopes greatly helps to ac-
count for the difference in the number of
young cells on their upward migration,
and that of thoss which return down
stream in the autumn. In some places
these baby cells are much sought after and
are formed into cakes, which are eaten
fried
s1Eels spawn like other fishes. For long,
however, the most remarkable theories
were held as to their birth. One of the
old beliefs was that they sprang from mud.
A rival theory held that young cells de-
veloped from fragments separated from
their parents bodies by the rubbing
against rocks. One old author not only
declared that they came from May dew,
but gave the following recipe for produc-
ing them: Cat up two turfs covered with
May dew and lay them one upon the 9th
er, thegrassy sides inward, and then expose
them to the heat of the sun. In a. few
hours there will spring from them an in
finite quantity of eels.' !"

HIS TRADE.

People who expect to go among the
sort of boys known in the city as
''toughs,'' and still retain their dig
nifty immaculate will do well to pre-
pare for disappointment. Politeness
and good humor are excellent qualifi-
cations for such encounters, but not
the stiffness and loneliness of those
who can not endure lack of formal
courtesy on the part of others.
A young lady, the daughter of a
wealthy financier, had succeeded with
infinite trouble in persuading her ia
Their to assist at an entertainment in
her favorite club.
He was an amateur with the magic
lantern, the boys dear delight, and
took it down to amuse them.
The show was progressing famously.
and the daughter was beaming with
pride, when suddenly ore or the boys
beckoned to her and asked, pointing
to the distinguished Snowman:
What der We call dat bloke?
Whom do you mean? asked the
OaInUy damsel, IN tone OF great sur
prise, being quite unaccustomed to
hearing her father described as
bloke.
l mean dat bloke over there setting
off dem pictures.
What do you desire to know about
him? she inquired with freezing dig
nifty.
Iwant ter know what yer call one
of them fellers dat sets off pictures.
persisted the boy.
That gentleman, said the daughter
in her most Impressive tone, is my
father.
Well, said the boy, surveying her
with supreme contempt, don't yer
know yer own fathers trade?
