FishInE DoR..

At a certain point all the men and dogs came to halt. Half the dogs and men then moved farther along the waters edge about 200 yards. At concerted signal the dogs were started from their respective points, and swam straight out seaward in single file in two columns. Ats wild. sharp cry from all the Ainus the right column wheeled left and the left column wheeled right until the head of each column met. Then at another signal all of them swan in line toward the shore, advancing more and more in crescent formation.
 As they neared the shore, increasing numbers of fish appeared in the shal- low water, frightened forward by the splashing of the advancing column of dogs, which, as soon as their feet touched bottom, bounced upon the fishes as quick as flash. The dogs promptly brought the fish which they had seized to their masters, who cut of the heads and gave each dog the head, which belonged to him as his share of the catch. The dog which caught nothing got nothing. I believe this dog drill of the Ainus is entirely unique. Life with Trans Siberian Savages.

The Original Lovers Leap.

Sappho's Leap was the name given to a white cliff or promontory an ciently. called Leucadia, now Cape Ducato, at the southern extremity of Santa Maura, one of the Ionian is- lands. It was so called because Sap pho, the poetess, is reported to have thrown herself from this height into the sea. A criminal, with birds at tached to him to break bis fall, was thrown from the cliff at the annual festival of Apollo, and If he reached the water unhurt he was picked up by boats placed there for that pur- pose. This is the rock from which, according to the story, lovers throw themselves in order to be free from the bangs of love.-Philadelphia PraSs

Any one who has occasion, either from motives of business or pleas ure, to visit Ash Fork now, finds the journey over the s. F., P. & P. rail road in pleasing contrast to the old time stage journey. During the days of staging, when the roads were in anything like good condition one could leave Prescott early in the morning and after being bumped and jolted over rocks and malpais roads be landed in Ash Fork late in the evening or in about fourteen hours. When the roads were muddy he could count on anywhere from sixteen to twenty-four hours to make the trip. Now one can leave Prescott at IO:40. or we'll along towards noon, in a comfortable and we'll fitted up passenger coach and in two hours and twenty minutes time for a midday lunch, be at Ash Fork. Returning, he leaves there at 8 D. m. and at 5:15 p. m. he is landed at the depot at the north end of Cortez street. Instead of being sore and weary from the journey he is fresh and invigorated from it.

 Feeling that Virginia is still in his debt, Fitz Lee is said to be in the field for a Congressional nomi- nation this fall. He had better be careful. He was defeated for the Senate by man with no F.

 Cor9ett was lately threatened with arrest for burglary. It would not be a legitimate subject for grief if he and Mitchell could both be given long terms for something.
 Senator Quay says of the situa- ton: "The administration has pro duced a condition of affairs which has destroyed trade, foreign and domestic, and grea.ely diminished the revenue, internal and from GUS toms"
 No wonder that the administra- ton objected to the figure of naked man on one side of the Co- lumbian medals. It feared that posterity would think it referred to the nakedness made so common among our people by the Cleveland financial and tariff policy.

Onthis trip however his face fairly beamed with joy, while he could scarcely wait for the departure of the train to get away from town.

 Mir. Sibley, a Democratic Con- gressman from Pennsylvania, has resigned his seat, to take effect on February IT. It is said that criti- cism of his course on the tariff bill isthe cause of his action. MT. Sibley was the only member of Congress from Pennsylvania, who voted in in favor of silver coinage.
 Nearly every democratic Congress man of prominence who has spoken in favor of the Cleveland tariff bill has admitted that the bill would reduce wages in this country and that 1t Is intended to do that very thing. If they had only been as frank before the last Presidential election the country would have escaped much misery.
 The United States boasts of the superior civilization of its people. and yet there is not country on the face of the globe where such brutal exhibitions of prize fighting are permitted as in this country. It is high time that these exhibi- tons should be stopped. It should be of little consequence to the peo- pie as to who is the greatest human brute in the world, alias the champion slugger.

Everything is now serene in Germany in consequence of this reconciliation.
 The "gall' of the few democrats who have spun out fine theories on the benefits that are concealed in the Cleveland tariff bill, while ignor- ing the deplorsble practical con- dltiOn to which the country has been brought by even the prospect of such a bill becoming law, has never been equaled on the floor of the House. It was like a man tell. ing a lot of people suffering from the rigors of an artic winter about a magic scheme to transport them in a moment to realms of eternal sum- mer, an i was quite as convincing.
