Florida's Fishing.

THE greatest fishing ground that
have ever seen in my life is that about
Punta Rassa. The mouth of the Ca
loosa at that point abounds in keys,
shoals and channels which literally
swarm with fish. Channel bass, grou-
per- sergeant fish, mangrove-s
crevalle. Jewish. trout and tarpon
have their feeding grounds there, and,
together with the sharks, porpoises,
whipperees, stingarees and the ire
pressible lady fish and pestiferous cat
fish help to keep the angler busy OF

sheepshead. porgies. Spanish mack
erel, kingiish, shark, Jewish, and even
tarpon, occasionally. On the fiat, a
quarter of mile away, I took eleven
fish in 40 minutes. nine of which were
of different species. Fishing grounds
run in every direction. with a good lee

The announcement comes from North
Carolina, where convict labor has been
employed in road building. that the
convicts accomplish more than hired
workmen, are healthy and are mex
pensively kept and that it is possible
to maintain excellent discipline. We
of the North are not accustomed to
look to the South for methods, either in
road building or other improvements of
modern character, but between her
dogs and her laws the South has re-
manned comparatively free from tramps
while the North has been overrun. Per-
haps wemay eventually conclude that it
is no more barbarous or debasing to put
our convicts at work upon the public
highways than ii is to confine them in
the unhealthful prisons. 1t is not

to see how the guides are to prove that

by giving it a fair trial; and if it is a
good thing no one should be more de-
sirous of continuing it in force than the
guides themselves, certainly those
who plan for the future as well as for

what profit the present season may af-

the name of guides with poachers and
liars they talked differently up there
with the guides about them than they

where in their interviews with the

high regard for the guides and declare
that the assistance of the latter is of
the utmost value in protecting our fish
