Fish as Fertilizers.

The steam fishing boat James Woodall,
belonging to c. f. Russell of Irvington,
on the Rappahannock river, will shortly
leave Baltimore for Florida to catch a
load of fish. Heretofore the Woodall
has worked in the Chesapeake bay or
Rappahannock river, but as the winter
has been warm and fishing can begin
early the Woodall will meet the fish off
the coast of Florida and accompany
them up the coast. She will be pro
visioned for long stay and will re-
main out in all kinds of weather. Mr..
Russell will use the fish in his fertilizer
factory on the Rappahannock river.
They will be sailed on the boat.

NEW AND VERY SMOOTH.
How a Lovesick Youth Was Bled by De-
signing Mother and Daughter.


A youth belonging to highly respect
able family at st. Cloud recently met in
the Boulevard de Strasbourg in Paris a
young lady with whose appearance he
was much struck. He followed her,
watched her as she went into house,
and having ascertained her name and
the fact that she lived with her widowed
mother contrlved to find some one who
knew the ladies by way of getting an in
PRODUCTION to them. He was extremely
well received and repeated the visit more
than once. Finally he determined to of
fer marriage to the young lady, and he
spoke to the mother on the subject.
The mother was very sympathetic, but
declared it could not be. But tell me
why not" said the lovesick youth. "Be-
cause" said the widow, bursting into
tears, my husband is convict, vii
lain, who, abusing the power the law
gives him in France, has declared that
he will never give his consent to his
daughters marriage unless he has 10000
francs given to him.
The youth said he was willing to pay
the money provided the father under
took never to modest him in any way,
and in few days the sum was forth
coming. The day after it was paid,
however, the widow and her daughter
decamped. The police are now on the
lookout for them.-London News.
