A Fish With a Rubber Corset.

Forest and Stream speaks OF a
curious find in the Cape Ann fish
market, at Gloucester, Mass. 1t
was nothing less than a mackerel
with a rubber band around the
body. The band had been put on
the fish when quite small, and
stayed thare in spite IF the rapid
growth of the wearer. The fsh's
body under the band did not grow
which caused a depression in the
full-grown body of about three
inches in depth The depression
5yas covered with healthy skin in
no way unlike that on the rest of
TIE body. The fish measured in
length fourteen inches, diameter
of body each side of tho depression,
seven and three fouths inches,
diameter of depression, five inches.
The fish was undoubtedly in n
healthy condition and the band
wasssound and could be stretched
like any other band.

"They're Thar Yit."

On the evening of the 9th of
May, 1864, (the second day of the
fighting in the wilderness of spott-
sylvania), Genenal J. E. B. Stuart,
finding it necessary near nightfall
to ascertain whether or not the
line Of Federal earthworks in his
front had been abandoned, sent an
orderly to the Eleventh Virginia
Cavalry, in line near by, with the
request that the officer in command
of that regiment would send him
a good man for the performance of
a hazardous duty. Private Jim
O'Meara, of Company F, was
selected, and reported to the gen.
eral. General Stuart, replying to
his salutation, simply said: "You
ses that line of earthworks? /
want to know if it is manned.
Ride down within seventy-fve or
a hundred yards Of it, and then
tHr,, to the left and gallop parallel
with it. If the Yanks are there,
you go fast, and they'll shoot be-
hind you" "All right, gineral. I
know It," said Jim with an appre-
ciative wink. He rode within
seventy-6ve yards of the line,
started in the twilight on his run
parallel with the line, which, being
we'll manned, was Immediately
illumined. The fusllade did not
cause Jim to swerve, When he
had gone nearly half the length of
the line his horse received q bullet
through his nose, midway between
tho postril and eye. Jim deliber-
ately stopped, unslung his carbine,
took as careful aim as he would
have done at squirrel, fired, and
resuming his parallel course, COM
pleted his run the entire length of
the line, and slowly riding to
where the general stood at the
head of his command, touched his
hat and reported, They're thar
ylt, gineral,"

FEDERAL RECEIVERS.
Proposed Investigation of Man.
agement of Roads.
St I.opis Rcnub!ic,

St. Louis Republic.
WASHINGTON, D. G.. Feb. H.
There is movement to urge upon
the Judiciary committee an jnves-
tigation Of the management Of
railroads under receivers appoin-
ted by the Federal courts. So
many complications have arisen
lately, as the system of receiver
ship control has spread, that the
matter has been brought before
the committee in several Of it's
phases. Recently Governor Till
man of South Carolina memoria-
lized Congress on the subject, stat
ing his troubles with the railroads
which ran through his State, grow
ing out of the refusal of the re-
ceiver to pay State taxes, and the
absence of legal machinery
through which he could force them
to, as they were nominally the
agent of the Federal court which
appointed them, and only throught
those courts could he have brought
action. The Tillman memorial
was very bitter against the Judges
of the United States courts and
the Supreme Court itsell, accusing
them of partiality toward the rail-
road corporations and against their
creditors.
Governor Tillman addressed the
committee on the subject, and two
bills are before it. This week the
Judiciary Committee has had ul'
the McGann resolution for an in
vestigation of the action of Judge
Jenkins in enjoining the employees
of the Northern Pacific from strlk-
ing. This resolution was the re-
suit of shower of petitions and
protests sent to the Committee on
Labor by the labor Organizations,
and there is no doubt that the
more recent order of Judge Dundy
against the men of the Union
Pacific coupled with his order for
salaries of $4,000 to be paid to the
five receivers of the road, will pro-
bahly be called to the attention of
Congress from the same sources.

Two classes of farmers from
the North will do will in the South
eventually. One is the dairyman,
and the other is the fruit cultiva-
tor, Climate, soil and cheap lands
are all in his favor. There are
some difficulties to be overcome
aside from the important matter
of choosing the right location. AS
a rule, the northern farmer is ener-
getic for year or two at least,
after setting IN the South. His
training and the necessities of a
warmer climate are largely the
reason for this.
Then the competition is as yet
but slight, for he is handling busi'
ness among people who are unac.
customed to it. The northerner

fteSS aHO DiuICrs
Some of the advocates of the license
systt m who oppose the dispensary
talk very freely about the number
of dispensarles now in existence in
this State-sixty--leaving The in
ference that the dispensary was as
bad or worse than the license sys-
tenn. Under the license system
we had one thousand barrooms,
which gave employment to, it is
estimated, some five thousand men.
The saloons were kept open after
dark, and il a greater or less num-
ber of instances furnished a place
for gambling, and lounging places
for loafers, while they gave resorts
which evil persons might frequent
for the perpose of taking advantage
Of drunken victims of drink.
If there were a thousand dispen-
saries instead of sixty, the dispen-
sary would still be much better
than the barroem.

BABY IN AN INCUBATOR.
A Novel Way to Rear Mite of an
Infant-It is Thriving.

AUGUSTA. Ca, Feb. ia baby
is being raised IN an incubator in
a we'll known and popular family
cf Augusta. The names are with
held in Difference 10 the desire of
the father. The baby is a mite.
It's father and mother are strong,
hearty people. The little one was
born five weeks ago and since that
time has been in the incubator.
The child is getting along nicely
and is developing we'll. There is
now every reason to believe that
the little one will soon be nursed
to strength and yigor. The incu-
bator is constructed in a small
bath tub. There are three COM
partments. In the lower compart-
ment is kept a burning lamp. The
lamp imparts heat to the second
compartment, which is filled with
water. The warm water regulates
and equalizes the airin the third
compartment, in which the baby
resides. The whole affair is under
direction of well known physi-
cian.. He constantly visits his
charge and is watching the progress
of the case with, if possible, more
interest than the parents. This
treatment of the little one will at
tract the attention of the medical
fraternity. The success of the
care taking of the tot up to this
time has been pronounced. Just
now the interesting patient is
kicking as vigorously as all con-
cerned could desire.

Worse than Ben Tillman.
merican Society IN the Days of Washington,
BY Griswold.

American Society IN the Days of Washington,
by Griswold.
Washington had determined up
on placing the capital where it
now is. He had substantially laid
out the plan which brought the
capital building, in the final loca-
tion of it close to the top of a slope
which commands a view of the
very large and substantially level
ground east cf the capitol where,
by this plan the city was to be built
But this level tract took in a large
piece of the ground belonging to
Mr.. Carroll, and some belonging
10 the Custis family. On this ac-
count, Edmund Randolph, Wash
ington' s encouragement. attacked
him in a pamphlet, which was the
mode of political warfare in those
days. He eurged that the location
of the capital, and especially the
p Ian of the city, was simply the
result of nepotism on the part sf
the President, who desired to give
value by the location to the lands
of his relatives, the Custises and
CAROLS. Mr.. James Ross, of Pitts
burg, was Washington's agent >'fo,
the sale of his lands in Pennsyl.
vania. He came to Philadelphia to
settle his accout, aud sent word to
the President that he would wait
upon him at his pleasure, and was
invited to breakfast with him the
next morning. On arriving, he
found all the ladies-the Custises
Lewises, Mrs. Washington, and
Others in the parlor, obviously IN
great alarm. Mr.. Ross described
them as gathered togathes in the
middle of the room like a flock OF
partridges in a field when a hawk
is in the neighborhood. Very soon
the President entered and shook
hands with Mr.. Ross, but looked
dark and lowering. They went IN
to breakfast, and after a little
while the Secretary Of War came
in and said to Washington: ''Have
you seen Randolph's pamphlet?''
~ have,' said Washington, "and
hv the eternal God he is the
damndest liar on the face of the
earth ;"and as he spoke he brought
his fist down upoo the table with
all his strength, ,and with aviolence
which made the cups and plates
start from their places.

English Taxes.

Temple Bar.
Birth is taxed, marriage is taxed,
death is taxed. Commodities are
taxed, manufactures, are taxed,
trades arc taxed, houst are, taxed
incomes are taxed. We are taxed
to for our butler, if we are pros
porous enough to keep one. We
are taxed for our footman, groom,
or gardener. The carriage we
keep is taxed, the omnibus we
take is taxed, the cab we hire is
taxed, the railway train we travel
by is taxed. The house dog is
taxed, and 30 also the heraldic
device on our note paper.
Everything we drink is taxed
beer, spirits, wine, tea, coffee
and even for tho water we drink,
there is the water rate. Light is
taxed through the medium of the
gas rate. The land we walk upon
is taxed, the tobacco we smoke is
taxed, the gold or silver jewelry
we wear, the eau'de Cologne per-
fuming our handkerchief, the figs
we eat on Palm Sunday, the
Christmas plum pudding, these
are all taxed. Even our anti bilious
pills are not free.
All these, and they are but few
of the taxes that exist, are mostly
imperial taxes for the purposes of
government-some of them, how
ever, are assigned 70 the County
Councils. There are also local
rates, which are but local taxes,
for the poor, county paving,
watering, &c.; sewers, School
Board, and Vestry. Householders
dodgers, married and single, men,
women, and children, are all taxed
in some form or other for taxation
is devised to reach every one.
The late Lord Sherbrooke,
(Robert Lowe.) when Chancellor
of the Exchequer, calculated that
one-ninth of our income is taken
from us for imperial taxation
but the proportion is more now,
and is growing. Local taxation is
not much less.

The Earth's Motion NIade Visible.

In tho December issue of Popu
lar Astronomy, Eliza A. Bowen
shows how the earth's revolution
NAV be made manifest to the eye.
DR.. L. Swift in popular Astronomy,
SAYS: Place on the floor of a room
free from tremors and air currents
a good size bowl nearly filed with
water and sprinkle over the suface
of the water an even coat lycopo-
dium powder, and across this make
a narrow black line af pulverized
charcoal. Place the bowl so that
the black line shall coincide with a
crack in the floor, or if the room
be carpeted lay a stick upon the
floor exactly parallel. with the
mark. After few hours it Will
be found that the line is NO longer
parallel with the stationary object,
but has moved from east to ,ssst,
proving that, during this int ,n,cd,
the earth has moved from ;''s to
east. 9e
The reason appears to me IS be
that the solid floor has with the
earth and bowl moved from west to
east, and SO has the water also but
a slower rate, as there ls q slight
iuertia, of which the yielding
liquid does not instantly partake,
to be overcome. 1t will be seen
that the lines or charcoal mark al
ways moved from east to west.
