The Hogash, Grunt or Pighsh IL Tooth.
some Delicacy.
A correspondent of the United States
fish commission, writing from Hunger's
Wharf, Va, said, in letter about the
hogfish:
In my estimation, it is the finest fish
that swims. 1t grows to the size of
about one pound, and is now rather
scarce. When 1 was boy, about forty
years ago, they we're very plentiful,
and have known 800 pounds caught at
one haul of the seine. They have since
gradually become scarcer. They come
about the LIST Of July, and remain until
November"
The hogfsh, or grunt, of the Chesa-
peake is also called pighsh, or grunt, in
the Gulf of Mexico, and is known in
South Carolina, as well as in Bermuda,
under the name of Sailors choice. "
Its color is thus described: "Body above

with numerous orange-colored or vel

The Facts.

In the twenty-one years from the
date that silver was demonetized, it
will be seen that wheat declined in
price nearly one-half, lacking only one
half cent per bushel of half; cotton de-
clined more than half, lilo cents per
pound more, while the decline in the
price of silver was considerably less
than half, ~ cents per ounce less;
wheat declined 4G.6 per cent, cotton
declined els per cent, and silver de-
clined only az per cent. Going from
the bimetallic standard to the single
gold standard has not caused as much
fall in silver as it has in our two great
articles of export--cotton and wheat.
The fall in prices of all three was quite
regular during the entire twenty-one
years, and was produced by the same
cause.-the discarding of silver as
money of redemption. Most other in
dustrial products have gone down in
somewhat similar ratio. Silver re-
mains at its old comparative value.
Gold has doubled in price; it's func-
tions have been doubled, and hence its

saw the form Of a xflan lying face
dowAward on the road, stream of
blood gushing from his head and limbs,
ali abroad convnlsed IN the rigors OF
death. Behind him stood another
man holding smoking revolver, which
he quickly replaced in hip pocket.
Now / am not more calloused to the
great tragedy of life--death-than
most men. But experience brings forth
tude as well as wisdom and many other
ACQUIRED moral and mental and physic-
al qualities, and must own that at the
moment the journalistic instinct pre-
dominated over all sentiment. And in
an instant the kodak had recorded the
scene.
A moment later and the murderer
had flung his revolver into the depths
of the ravine across the road and was
busily rifing the pockets of his victim.
Again the camera snapped, and I be-
came interested to see the end of this
rather startling adventure II was
highly improbable that the murderer
had caught a glimpse of me through the
cactus hedge, SO that quietly looked
on at. his operations, taking couple
more snaps at him with the kodak.
Suddenly the man sprang to his feet,
and swinging a horn from the back of
his girsale blew long blast. Some
people were evidently now in sight, for
he waved his'wide sombrero excitedly.
Two or three indians and a couple of
Spanish natives soon came along and

All In "a moment, now, my spcculat-
i've interest in the affair became in
tensely and painfully personal. The
murderer and brigsnd, as dknew him to
be, cried to the officer that he had come
up justin time to see the murder com
mitted. 1t was the work of a white
man, and he had to run away into the
cover of the cactus hedgel If they hur-
'ried the ''gringo" would soon be over
taken.
Realizing the situation, I at once
showed myself, and, but for the pro
lection of the policeman, might have
Jared hardly at the hands of the ma
tives. The policeman, however, showed
me no further consideration He sim
ply declined to listen to my attempted
explanation in imperfect Spanish, and
silenced me with blow from the han

How a Chinaman orders a wife.

A recently returned traveller from
Australia says that when one OF the
Cinnamon there wants wife he writes
to matrimonial agency in Hong Kong
and requests that maiden under
twenty, who has never left her fathers
house and never read book, be sent
to him. Her eyelashes must measure
half an inch and her teeth be as white
and sparkling as the pearls Of Ceylon,
her breath be as sweet as the odorous

purchaser as is the greatest river in the

Outside ofOuzco, the old imperial seat
of the E26aod dynasty, the country is for
miles on yEniles'strewn with interesting
ruins and relics, for the most part aban-
!doned now to nature. These it was my
purpose to carefully investigate and
photograph. While wandering among
the hills one day i came across curl
Gus cave in the side of a towering
precipice that lbordered the road
for considerable distance on both
sides. Between the precipice and the
road thick hedge ,of cactus grew. 1t
was practically ,adouble hedge; thin
line of the plants sprouted from the
very base of the cliff, and heavy
growth bordered the bank of the road,
sleaving a sort of natural footpath be-
tween. From the road the top of the
lentrance to the cave was just visible.
This presented so regularly arched and
smooth an appearance that at once
determined to investigate it.
With the aid of couple of Indians
whose services secured cut away
the cacti from about the entrance,
where the plant, of course, grew
heavily. This took us many hours to
accomplish, and by the time we were

Let Us Have IL.

The truth is the adoption of bimetal-
lism would at once transfer the trade
of nearly half the world from Europe
to the United States, and England
would be the chief sufferer. England
has always favored an American policy
that would injure us and help herself.
That was good politics from her stand
point, and she will never agree to a
policy that would make this country

of her dictation. Los Angeles Ex-
