Singular Fish.

A short distance from New York city
there exists spring of sparkling water
which abounds in the choicest noun
tain trout, but how they got there no
one has yet been able to discover.
There is nothing about these fish to
mark them from others of their own
sort, unless it be that their flavor is
superior. They make their debut in
the waters of the famous rock spring
near Bellefontaine. Both the spring
and its inhabitants are mysteries no
one has ever been able to solve. Most
springs bubble from the ground and are
always supposed to have a sandy bed.
This one, however, is contradiction to
the accepted rule. Il gushes from a
cave ten feet high and twenty feet
wide, and the water is Of marvellous
clearness. No rain ever fell so fiercely
as to even disturb its crystalline ap-
pearance. Years of Investigation have
failed to disclose the facts regarding
the source of the fish supply. No one
has ever seen single fish swim into
the cave. Hundreds have been observed
swimming out. There is nothing about
them that indicates their being bred
in subterranean stream. So far as
the inhabitants of that section and visi-
tors have been able to learn, the spring
is by no means the temperance of a
stream that flows into the ground some
where else. Its source seems to be from
some point far beneath the earth's sur
face. All this forms a natural problem,
and one that is likely to remain mys-
terry for as many years as it has al
ready, and no one knows how long
that is.

erous as a victor and admirable as a
man. Once having accepted the verdict
of the sword as final, he used his pow
erful Influence with the unreconstruct-
ed element in Missouri, and was great
factor in restoring peace to this dis
tracted commonwealth. Old foes for
gave him his errors, and all Missouri
ans swear by him. Shelby's Missouri
division fought through Missouri, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Texas. When hope became hopeless it
was the last organized division of the
confederate army west Of the Missis-
sippi. Shelby planned to continue the
contest, but his men yearned for their
homes and families. There was dra-
matte separation on the field near Cor
sicana, Tex. There still remained with
Shelby 500 bold troopers, and they had
an abundant supply of arms, ammuni-
ton and supplies. They determined to
march into Mexico and become soldiers
Of fortune with Juarez or Macmillan.
They marched to Waco and Austin in
a well-disciplined band Shelby was
urged to seize the money in the confed-
crate sub-treasury at San Antonio for
his soldiers, but he was not plunderer
and hesitated. Texas bandits carried
off the treasure before he reached San
Antonio to protect 1t as he had protect
ed public funds in Austin. Many exiles
were awaiting Shelby at San Antonio.
Among them were Generals Smith, Ma
gruder, Hindman, Lyon Of Kentucky,
Laedbetter and Wilcox of Lees army,
Governor Murrah Of Texas, Governor
Morehead of Kentucky, Governor Allen
Of Louisiana, and Governor Trusten
Polk of Missouri. Senator Harris Of
Tennessee and Senator Vest Of Missou-
ri were in that despairing company.
From San Antonio Shelby led his band
under military discipline to New
Braunfels and thence to Eagle Pass
on the Rio Grande. Crossing to Piedras
Nagras, the fugitive sold the cannon,
the arms, the ammunition and the
accOuterments to the supporters of Jua-
rez for $4,000, which was divided pro
rata among officers and men. Some
Germans attempted to take advantage
Of Mexican law and seize all Of Shell
by's horses having Mexican brands, and
the treacherous Mexican soldiers sup
ported them in the scheme. The con-
federate commander promptly sounded
the call to mount horses, and the 500
Americans only awaited the word to
begin slaughter. The Germans fled
and the Mexicans wilted. Shelby took
a vote of his officers to determine
whether they would cast their fortunes
with Juarez, the Mexican patriot, or
with Macmillan, the emperor sent to
Mexico by Napoleon. They voted for
Macmillan The exiles buried their
battle-scarred flag in the waters of the
Rio Grande with fearful ceremonies
and started for Monterey to join the
French legions. At Monterey the COM
mand disbanded. Some went to Sonora
to fight against Macmillan. Others
went to California, British Honduras
or Brazil. Shelby and a trusty band of
so went to the City of Mexico and then
settled in the Cordova colony of Car
lotta.
