The Latest Reports From That Ubiqui.
 fous Individual.
 When the ordinary society reporter has nothing else to write about, he al ways falls back upon rumored engage ments, rumored marriages and rumored divorces.
 This summer, however, the society reporter seems to have made slight departure and varied the monotony of his vaporings by adding to the rumored engagements, marriages and divorces the rumored possi ibilities of births.
 AS result of this disposition to dis count the future, we have already been told that congratulations were in order for MT. and Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont and for the Duke and Duchess of Marl- borough, to say nothing Of some half dozen other newly married people less conspicuous in the social world.
 To this list another distinguished couple are now added, as may be seen from the following paragraph, published in Il contemporary yesterday afternoon {:
 ''If certain interesting domestic event does not interfere, Mir. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor may visit Newport during the summer
 Inasmuch as Mir. and Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont are already in Newport, and as the society gossips will have it that the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough are to be there before August ends, you can readily see what delightful colony will be gathered together on the arrival of Mir. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor.
 The trouble about all this sort of thing, however, is that the society re- porter is more productive than society. -Cholly Knickcrbocker in New York Recorder.

The Story of the Salmon.

fn the autumn time, and onward to the beginning of the next year, the mother salmon ascends the rivers to de- posit her eggs, and thus to secure the continuance of her race, In connection with this periodical visit or visits to the river must be mentioned a very curious fact. The idea Is entertained very strongly by some authorities that salmon invariably returns to its native river or that in which it was bred. It has even been asserted by fishermen that, when several rivers enter the sea in one stream, as at Bonar Bridge, for example, the salmon bred in each river will pass back into their own water and will avoid the strange streams. The late Frank Buckland, strong believer in this instinct of the fish, regarded the sense of smell as that which led it to it's native river. Perhaps the truth is that for the most part salmon do return to their own rivers, but the practice and habit are not necessarily invariable. We know the fishes certainly swim great distances along coast lines, where they are captured in stake and bag nets, and it may we'll be the case that now and then fish will turn into a river that is near in preference to seeking its own and distant water.
 Arrived in her river, the mother salmon begins to scoop out kind of trench in the gravel of the stream. This she effects by blowing into the gravel with her body. This trench is to be the nursery of her young. The eggs are laid in the furrow and are duly fertilized by the male salmon. Then the trench is filled in by the efforts of both parents, the eggs are covered with gravel, and the mound thus formed is called, in fsher's language, a ''redd. D How many eggs mother salmon will deposit is, of course, difficult question to determine, but stock calculation maintains that she produces about 300 eggs for every pound she weighs. Each egg in its di- ameter measures about 8 quarter of an inch, and it is estimated that 25, 900 eggs go to a gallon. n.-Chambers Jour- nal

S4O,oOo SAVED BY BEAVERS.
Dam Built One Hundred Years Since
 Settles Ownelrhip of Land.


 Settles owne,ship of Land.
 A very interesting suit has just been decided in the court of common pleas of Huntingdon county, Pa.
 About two years ago Clearfield county surveyor, Thomas w. Moore, ap piled at the land office ill Harrisburg for warrant upon tract of land iii Carbon township, claiming that the land was vacant. The warrant being issued. the Rockhill Iron and Coal com pany discovered that the tract was one of its most valued pieces of coal land, worth $40, GOO. It therefore filed a caveat protesting against Moore's claim, and at the hearing Secretary Stewart decided that the controversy was too complicated for him CT his office and re- ferred it to the courts for settlement.
 Upon the trial of the case, which cc- cupied six days of court. Moore claimed that the land called for in the old war rant of 17S6, OH which the company based its title, was not located on the tract in dispute at all, but somewhere else in the township.
 The line trees having nearly all dis appeared the comp my would have had some trouble establishing its title had 1t not been that its old warrant of l7S6 called for beaver dam in Great Trough creek and that the company had taken the precaution to send Professor ! Wilcox of Philadelphia, an expert on beavers and their habits, and two sur veyors down 10 search fer the cid dam. The professor and his assistants dug down into the bottom of the stream at the point where legend fixed its locs- tion. After taking out couple of feet of wash and gravel, which had accumu- lated in the ted of the creek within the last century, they were rewarded by finding the old dam made by the beavers during or prior to the Revolutionary war. The cribbing sticks of the dam were found buried side by side in regu. lar order and the marks of the beavers teeth were plainly visible in the wood. When the sticks came in contact with the air, they crumbled away to such an extent that it was with difficulty any was preserved and brought into court These relics from the beaver dam, with Professor Wilcox's testimony, turned the tide in favor of the Rock Hill com | pany, and the jury had little trouble in agreeing upon a verdict in its favor.- | Philadelphia Press.

 The words of the text are pertinent 10 ns all, from the fact that we are nearing the evening of death. I have heard it said that we ought to live as though each moment were to be our last. l do not believe that theory. As far as preparation is concerned, we ought always to be ready; but we can- not always be thinking of death. for we haye duties in life that demand our at tention, When Q man is selling goods, it is his business to think of the bargain he is making.

He who fills up his life with thoughts of death is far from being the highest style of Christian. I knew q man who used to often say at night, "I wish might die before mofuing!" He became an infidel.

DANIEL WEBSTER.

1t is never safe to say things to
the ragged, unkempt men one sees
and meets a fishing by some mud
pond or stream. This truth is IL
lustrated by tie case of Daniel
Webster.
Webster was a fisherman and
had sloops and a smack in which
he used to enjoy the pastime. He
was not over fastidious in his fish
erman's dress. If he tore his
clothes he did not take the trouble
to have the rent sewed up, and
when enjoying his sport he was a
tolerably rough looking customer,
according to a Rochester paper
whose reporter interviewed Mrs.
Dawes, a resident of Marshheld in
Webster's days.
Webster and Mrs. Dawes's uncle
were fishing one day from the
shore Of the bay, when a stylish
young fellow, a visitor at Marsh,
field, ,tumbled head over heels into
the marsh. The tumbler yelled
at Webster, asking how much he
would take to haul him out and
carry him over the mud.
"a quarterT" answered Webster
and the deed was done. Where
upon the quarter was turned ever
and Webster had started away
when the mud stumbler asked:
"To whom am l indebted"
"Only Daniel Webster"
The man said afterward that h:
apo!ogized for his supelci.iousres
and did net reckon other people "
