 The caller looked astonished. 'Hain't, hay9" he asked. Well, then, gimme a pound of oysters, selects.
 The proprietor of the fish store thought he had a crazy man to deal with. He edged toward the door and stammered: But oysters are not sold by the pound. /"

 The fsh-store man had his hand on the door-knob by this time. "Who ever heard of selling Holsters by the yard?" he asked in amazement.
 "Well, gimme a gill of bullheads!" shouted the visitor, desperately.
 ''Gill of bullheads?" repeated the fish store man. Why, you're drunk or crazy

 About two feet of these here shrimps will about fill the bill, announced the caller.
 The fsh-store man was very brave now. He gripped the oyster knife tightly and shouted: sSee here, what in blazes do you want? Whats the mat ter with you, anyhow
 The discouraged-lool1ing man thought for a minute. Then he said, in a husky whisper: ''I'll tell you what want. want about three cents worth of red herring, and l hain't got the price. Will you fix me out?"
 Why didn't you ask me for it in the first place?" inquired the fsh-store man, as he handed out two herrings and some crackers

THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Damage Done by This Terror to Farmers
 in the West.

Damage Done by This Terror to Farmers
 in the West.
 The harm that has come to this coun try through undesirable immigrants of the lower orders of animal and vege- table eXistences has been costly in deed. Two great enemies are now proving upon the country as pests. The one is the gypsy moth and the other the Russian thistle. In the war of extermination against the former, $245, 900 has been expended already. This years appropriation is s165, 900, to be followed by S15o,000 next year, s100, : 900 the next, and S50, ,000 annually after that, so that round S1, 900. 900 in ap- propriations is easily in sight The vegetable terror of the west. the Rus sian thistle, was brought to this coun- try sixteen years ago. Some immi- grants happened to bring Il bagful of black fiaxseed to Dakota, and mong the haxs eed were scattered fe " othe little black seeds, not so large as mus tard-seed. These were the seeds of the fatal black thistle. No sooner had these little black parasites touched the soil than they started on the march of destruction, and they have already lu- vaded Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming, rendering 40, GOO square miles of agricultural land unproductive. The thick, thornF bush of the Russian thistle, having weak hold on the soil, is taken up bodily by the prairie winds and seatters it's seeds for miles around. Now that s25, 900, GOO of damage has already been done. the government is asked for an appropria tion of Sl ,U00, GOO as starter in chase after the destructive thistle. Traces of it's existence are now found over 70, GOO square miles of country, and how many millions it will cost to extermi- nate it is matter of speculation. Little did the poor Russian immigrant imagine the millions of dollars of de- struction that his little bag of seeds was destined to cost the country. It is, indeed, a striking theme for sermons on the power of little things to work vast results for good or evil in the world Bos ton Globe.

One of the events of the amusement sea-
son takes place at City hall this evening.
when Grundy's famous sex against sex
drama ''Sowing the Wind,'' will then be
produced by Charles frohman's superb COLI
pany of players. Sowing the Wind is one of
the most intense dramas ever written, with
such delightful blending of pathos and
humor as only great playwright can pro-
duce. 1t is the same magnificent company
that has set Boston wild for two months
past, and it is pleasure to know that with
the line new stage and scenery in City hall
the play can be properly mounted with all
the original sittings. Then the luxury of
the fine new opera chairs completes the en-
5oyment of the evening. When a conserva-
tive old7paper like the Boston Transcript
says of play: He who misses it does
himself an unpardonable injury it may be
well imagined the play is a grand one.
Manager Mitchell has provided one of the
greatest attractions IN the country, and the
hall should be packed. Holders of course
tickets should remember to use Sowing the
Wind" tickets, which are numbered four on
the course set. Reserved seats may be had
today at 542 Congress street.

rhe.Doub1e Paved Kitten Again.

1t will be remembered that the PRESS
mentioned recently a curious freak of
nature on Great Diamond island in the
shape of little kitten. which had two per-
fectly formed paws on the end of each fore
leg. One of the children of Mr.. J. B. Irish
found the kitten near the barn.
A man in Gorham. N. H., named George
". Bond. saw the item in the PRESS in
reference to the kitten and wrote to Mrs.
Irish, offering to buy it. She replied that he
could have it for SIS. He sent word that he
accepted the terms and would come for the
kitten, but before he could arrive the kitten
was lost and hasn't been found since. The
old cat had adopted the strange little wait
with her own kittens, and they all lived in
the barn. The litter of ordiary kittens were
drowned and Immediately after the double
paved, and now valuable kitten disap-
peared.
1t is thought the old cat has hidden it
away somewhere.

CITY FINANCES.
More Than $50, 900 Worth of Bonds Com
ing Due in February.

g Bonds of the city of Portland to the
amount of 1874, 500 are coming due on Febru-
airy LIST. 1896, and provisions have got to be
made to meet the same.
These bonds were issued for the following
purposes and in the following amounts For
Cats wharf. registered $4,000. coupon
$35. 900. For damage on streets. coupon S.
600. For marginal way, registered $4,000.
coupon $500. lFor Streets: sidewalks and
bridges, registered $4,000. coupon 200. For
repairs ON Galt's wharf, registered $4,000,
coupon $1,000. For Clark street bridge,
registered $1,000.
The financial committee of the city gov
ern ment think that perhaps good way to
settle these debts would sbe to sell the
city's stock in the Portland and Ogdensburg
railroad and it is con templated that the
city treasurer make trip to New York to
see about putting it on the market. The
city owns %, 561 Ito shares and it ID thought
that $45 per share is low valuation. If
the whole block can be sola at that figure.
it will net the city 1000, 209.50.

An Ugly Fight.

There was an ugly fight at the corner
of Fore and Pearl streets, at--about p.
m. yesterday. The contestants were two
stout, drunken sailors. They knocked
each other down and kicked each other
in the face and stomach. When Officers
Greeley and Skillings arrived one of
the men ran and escaped, but the other
was arrested. He9was7 short, and very
stout, and very drunk. He protested
and resisted all the time, and when the
patrol wagon arrived became frantic
with rage and fear. He shouted that ne
hadn't killed anybody; that he wasn't
Jack the Ripper and when the wristlets
were put on he fairly sunk to the ground
in fear and distress. and had to be lifted
into the wagon, and was driven away
weeping and bowling like great blub-
bering boy. He is an Englishman from
Liverpool.

ENGLISH STEAMER NOTES.
Where the Great Boxes of Machinery Go
To-An Enormous Cotton Mill at Valley
field, Canada Years in Building-Other
ftems

IAN enormous wooden box, made of plank
and joist, and weighing four ions, was
loaded onto fiat car from the steamer
shed yesterday. 1t came oversin theaSar-
MIA, together with others boxes. They all
contained machinery made in England
for great cotton mill, in process OF erec-
tion at Valleyfeld, situated about 40
miles north of Montreal ON the ST. Law
renee. For three years the work-of build
ing this mill has been going on, and
is not fnisheds yet. A man who was
there last winterssays that it is built on
a. slope SO that great excavation was
made. on the side offthe hill. Then three
stories had .beenEbuilt, and thsftop of the
third just came up to the level.of the
street on the..upper side, while on the
lower side the wall is exposed.
Five'or six more stories are to be add
ed. As soensas story is built it is filed
with machinery, which keeps looming
from England as fast assneeded, SO that
for the past three years nearly every
steamerssof both the Allan and Dominion
lines has brought few boxes of machi-
merry at every trip, winter andssummer.
The magnitude of this cotton mill scan
be imagined.
The Hibernian and the-Numidian of
the Allan line are due Monday and Tues
day, respectively.
The Rosarian, of the Allan line, is due
either Monday or Tuesday. She comes
from Quebec and will simply load here.
She intended taking her cargo at Mon
treal, but the ice prevented.
The Numidian will have the largest
cargo of the season, about 1000 tons.

The schooner George Gilkey arrived
Thursday with coal from Philadelphia. She
was on her way home from Rosario, and
Captain Gilkey brought with him queer
little goat that he obtained there. 1t was as
tame as dog and followed the captain
about. In Ryan and Kelsey's store it laid
down beside the store like any dog, paying
no attention to the dog that was there. Mr..
Kelsey was forced to object to its eating the
wire nails out of the bins close by. but
otherwise it was not Objectionable.
