ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
HE WENT FISHING IN THE BROoR
He went fishing in the wildwood,
In the dancing mountain brook,
Where he used to fish in childhood
With bent pin for hook;
He bethought him of the catches
That he used to show with pride,
And the sunburn and the scratches
That adorned his youthful hide.
Now, he has a fancy tackle,
And a rod OF split bamboo,
Flies of every style of hackle,
Clicking reel, and silk line, too,
With a twelve-pound basket laden,
Harnessed up with straps and bands,
lie had patent boots to wade in,
And kid gloves upon his hands.
Gayly then he started fishing
In shady nook and cool,
Where the willows, gently swishing,
Overhung a wen known pool,
That was where he used to actch them
When he was an urchin small,
surrey now ne OubHI " Ctbl-Al
With his fancy rig and all!
But alas! he could not do it,
Though he fished the pool all day.
Not a trout that ambled through it
Took the pains to come his way;
But his cuss words made the air blue,
And ne whipped the creek to foam
Then he smashed his fancy bamboo,

British fleet successfully accomplished a
tactical problem. Two fleets we're placed
in the Atlantic. separated by a distance
Of 100 miles, and in positions unknown to
each other They were instructed to find
each other and effect a junction. They
found each other in six hours and effect
ed the junction in twelve.

sailing vessels at piers IS and 10 East

The latest bulletin of the coast and
goedetic survey says: "a new edition CT
the chart shows the entrance bar cor
rected from a survey by the United States
engineers in 1894; the position of Channel
Rock, a recently discovered danger with
6 feet of water over it; the range lights
for avoiding Channel Rock; and topo-
graphical details in the Vicinity of va

The Oriental and Occidental steamship
Belgic, stranded at the entrance of the
harhor Of Yokohama, seems to have set
tied down on the rocks for long stay.
Several three-word cablegrams have fl
tered into this port which have been
very interesting from newspoint, but
a little monotonous. They read some
what in this style: 'Trhe Belgc Is on
the rocks, but resing easily, and win
be floated." ''The Belgic is ashore and
resting easily, and all preparations COM
pleted for getting her off," "The Belgic
is on the beach, resting easily, and it is
expected that she will soon be gotten off,"
