An Old Talo As Good as New.

The Penobscot Indians have been
peaceable, SO far as the whites are con-
cerned, ever since the settlers in the
valley became anywhere numerous.
But there was time when the cabins
of the English were few and far be-
tween, when the red man made pretty
free with his white neighbour. One ira
6itfon OF the Peuobscot valley is that
one day IN Indian came to n settlers
log house and demanded a breakfast.
The settler was away from home, and
his wife, not daring to refuse, set cu.
the food on q table in the corner of the
room Before the intruder could eat,
another Indian came in and the two
quarreled as to which should do the
eating. While they wrestled and strug-
Fled and rolled en- the floor a third In

That noted piscatorfal authority, Or.
fultca, of the royal Scottish fishery
board, has for years been devoting his
rpare time to ascertaining, as far a
possible, the ratio Of SEXES in fishes.
Since the time Of Cuvier no other man
has devoted as much time to tho special
study of this curious subject, therefore
1t Is doubtful if any living naturalist
hos acquired as much valuable in
formation on the subject as this eecen-
trio genius, who devotes weeks of each
year 10 making thorough Investigation
In the line of his hobby, By way of a
general summary he has at last de-
clared that female fish OF all species
are considerably more numerous than
males, with two single exceptions land
these not certain, the angler" and the
catfish Among that class Of fishes
known TO experts SIS ''fat-fshes" the
proportion of females to males is as
three to one in the founder and as
twelve to one in the dab" Among
the ''roundfshes" the proportion is
from three to two in the cod TO nine to
two in the common gurnard. In the
point Of size the female Is larger by
thirty per cent. in all the flat-fsheS In

Walton meaning "all right" used not
only in current talk but IN serious bust
ness, as in the marking of documents,

TO be known locally as Aux Cages or o.
X. The term did not, however, pass
into general use until the presidential
campaign of 1898, when the very much
supposed illiteracy of Andrew Jackson,
the democratic candidate, was the stock

/ part of Tennessee, April IS, where he
received the news of Lees surrender.
| All this time the ranks OF the secret
( organization in Floyd and Wytlre coun-
ties had been considerably increased in
numbers by the enlistment of discharged
soldiers from Lees disbandcd army.
| When the news arrived that Stoneman
and his cavalry would pass through
Floyd county on his way to Washing
ton, wiser and older heads tried to pre-
vail on the young enthusiasts to abandon
their plan Of revenge, but with appar-
entity little or no effect.
On May IS Stoneman, with six thou
sand cavalry, ten thousand infantry and
twenty-three guns, started on hum
dred mile march over the mountains, to
the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, at
Christiansburg. to embark for Wash
ington.
Mounted couriers OF Floyd county's
little army were Immediately dis
patched from different sections to in
form the recruits in outlying districts
of the movements of Stoneman's army

to secrete the mon in different parts of
the town and neighborhood and at the
appearance OF the army to fire on them
from their places of concealment and
thus haraSs the nOrtherners for n dis
tance of ten miles on each side Of the
town. Early In the morning of May %
two hundred cX-confederate soldiers
and recruits had arrived at the town.
As the day advanced and no new ar
rivals were reported they became dis
hearteued and assertions were numer-
Gus. Another hour passed and the adj
vance guard of Stoneman's army was
reported within ten miles of Floyd
Court House. BY the time the intorma-
ton was received about one hundred
men. all that remained OF the bold
band. were concealed along the high
way. But rs soon as the federal column
hove in sight the self-appointed pro-
tectors of Floyd county deserted-ex-

three men YVES watched with interest
by the inha bitants of the town, who
had turned out IN full force to see the
army pass. They had no idea that the
beasts Of the men were more than idle
threats. After entering the field Bordi-
nW halted his followers, and greatly TO
the amusement Of the union troops put

with good-natnred cries from the
soldiers, giving the rebel war cry
of "Yip. zip. yah"' Finally Bordi-
nux gave the order to aim and then
to fire, at the same time suiting
the action to the word. The amaze
mont OF the unionists can be imagined
when two of their number fell seriously
wounded Before they had fully re-
covered from their surprise another
volley was fired, wounding others.
The three men hastily retreated. The
town was searched, but they were not
found. rs they had gone further down
the road. The army moved forward,
and a mile from town was again fired
upon, this time from ambush. The
order WIS given to capture them alive.

they waited again for Stoneman's
army. The troops were ordered to fire
If another assault was made. They adj
vanced nervously for tho fifth time.
Suddenly the crack of three rites was

muskets answered it. The mad Vir>

Since the great victory Of the Amer
lean yacht Volunteer over the Thistle
five years ago there has been no race
for the America cup. but the prospects
for another contest next summer arr
now very encouraging. It is, says the
Omaha Bee, peculiarly fitting that the
contests should be resumed during the
year of the great Columbian fair, when
there will be millions Of people here
from abroad. Ever since tho famous
schooner yacht America won the trophy
in English waters in 1851 the suprem-
acy of this country In the designing and
building of fast sailing craft has been
maintained Year after year, with true
British persistency, have the English
tried in vain to regain the cup and thus
establish their superiority m the science
OF naval architecture-for upon this
point alone have they been beaten.
The American victories in recent years
have not, however, been won by such
wide margins as that by which the cup
was won forty years ago at Cowes.

There IS practical side to this inter

stimulates a nautical spirit that is not
without its uses, but it also encourages
