 It is not supposed, however, that tho shad of n river basin. liko that of Chesapeake bay, for example. re- turn each group to its own particu- lar stream. In Chesapeake bay shad would come in, from the sea togeth- CT, but once inside tho bay they would be lilcely to seek each tho most convenient of tho streams emp tying into it.

Telegram. Co Women.

The telegraph messenger who keeps his eyes open has sn oppor- tunity to note many curious phasss of human nature. One told recently that women never opened telegram without turning pale, and when the message was not alarming they look cd disappointed. He delivered about two death messages day, four birth messages. great many business messages. and once in a Rrsat while a love message that makes him tired to carry it. He carried one recently to a young nan in town that read, How are you today, darlingi" The answer went promptly back by tbo boy and was to the effect, "I am bet ter, love"
 He eonce carried a message of death to a oolored woman, and aftar read ing it her emotions 0Yercame her to such an extent that che caught the messenger in her arrns and soundly boxed his ears. Another colored wo- man refused to open or sign for Q message, but walked the floor and beat her breast and screamed, sup posing it announced a death. When all the neighbors had come in, one more venturesome than the ressread the message. It was simply a notice that the woman's sister would come up from Leavenworth that evening to see her.-Atohis0n Globe.
