The Rev. Sam Jones has made his
promised descent upon the wicked
|city of Atlanta, Ga, and is making
vigorous and characteristic efforts tC
direct the iniquitous citizens into
right paths. In recent sermon he
assailed card playing and dancing,
the besetting sins Of the Atlantans
thuswise:
"Let me tell you something
Intelligent people don't play cards.
The less sense people have got the
more they play. Why, do you
know that down at Milledgeville, in
the lunatic asylum there's deck
of cards in every room? The reas-
on is that nothing pleases the idiots
SO much as playing cards. (Great
laughter.)
GAS to dancing, well, a few OF
the people here who dance will get
to heaven, because the Lord don't
expect much of some folks, you
know.
81 used to dance myself, but
never was sober when did it. |
couldn't keep sober when got that
low down intellectually.
"Here in Atlanta when the devil
ties bell to some old colonel s
coat tail and one on bis wife, and
they go running down the street,
like bellwether and an old eve,
you are sure to see the little fools
follow, like the other sheep. Chi

The SaImon's Habits.

N"i' N ~ AAuhlSj d SdlllCl Iudll
on Coos Bay, recently wrote the
following article on the habits of
the salmon, which was published
in the Oregonian. He said:
"The question which first pre-
sents itself. viz: Do adult salmon,
which are common to our longest
rivers, return to the sea after having
deposited their spawn? 1t is gen.
orally conceded, and 1 believe cap
able of being proven, that those
which spawn in the upper waters,
become so much exhausted by the
labor attending the the journey to
headwaters, together with that of
making and defending their spawn
ing beds, that none survive. Ad-
mitting this to be a fact, there
remains to consider what happens
to those that spawn in the shorter
streams, of our coast, or the tribu-
taries of the large rivers, which dis
charge their waters in tidewav,
near the ocean. Although but
little has been written in regard to
this subject, there exists sufficient
proof that a large percentage of these
aforementioned salmon do return to
the sea after visit to the spawning
grounds, and in support thereof
will cite my experience in the mat
ter.
In 1873 l took the spawn from
and turned loose in tide water on
Rogue river about so adult salmon,
first marking them by cutting a
large V-shaped piece out of the
dorsal fin. These salmon were in
the usual condition to which salmon
get, when near the spawning time.
They had been caught the latter
part of August, and at that time
were plump and smooth, bright in
color and vigorous. The latter
part of December, when the spawn
was taken, they were sick and
covered with sores, caused by their
workings in the pond and in fight
ing with each other, lean and Shiny,
with projecting teeth, as is the
usual condition when at liberty in
the stream at such seasons. In the
early part of the following April my
fishermen began taking some of
these marked salmon, and continued
to do so throughout the fishing
season, until we had observed 40 or
so. These were as fat and plump
as at the previous catching, and
had increased materially in weight.
The next two years we caught a
large number of marked salmon, in
fact, until we had taken nearly as
many as had marked originally.
| am unable to give the exact
data i'll regard to these experiments,
as the papers relating thereto were
destroyed by fire when my place at
Gold Beach was burned, but there
are plenty of witnesses living who
can testify to facts, among whom
will mention William Gauntlet,
late county clerk; Alfred Gauntlet,
Thomas Smith and Patrick Nc
Cleary, now living at Gold Beach
and who were in my employ at
that time. In fact, all who were
residents of that section at the time
were aware that such was the result
of my experiments.
AT that time l was also in cores
pondence with Professor Baird, Of
the United States fish commission,
and the matter received considerable
attention from him. He wrote that
it was the first well-authenticated
instance of the kind that had been
observed in relation to the matter,
This evidence is supported by the
observations of many, viz: Tha,

breeding says he finds solution of
salt an excellent remedy for soreness
and fungoid growths in treating
trout so afflicted, and my expert
ments show that it is natures remedy
for curing ills incident to the effort
to reproduce its species, made by
the salmon, and if they ever reach
the water, will soon be healed. 1
have in one instance turned out
some, and in less than three months
have taken one which, although
not yet healed, was fat and plump.
I have no doubt that many of the
Scared salmon taken in our streams,
are fish not fully healed from the
wounds of the previous spawning
season. The foregoing facts, to my
mind, settle the question regarding
the migratory habits ofadult salmon,
that have made the journey to the
spawning-grounds, and proves con-
clusively that during the few months
which they spend III the sea in
recuperating their strength (having
entered the sea nearly dead from
exhaustion) any ongjourney would
be impossible before it would be
time to re-enter the river on the
same errand as before, and I be-
lieve that there habitat is very near
the mouths of the rivers, where
they were spawned.
Having given my views and facts
relating to adult salmon, 1 will now
take up the following questions, viz:
First When do the young sal
mon migrate to the sea?
Second-Where is their habitat
and do they return to the stream
where they were spawned?
In dealing with the first question
l will refer to the first experiments
in the propagation of salmon made
by any of the English-speaking
race, conducted by Robert Buist, at
the Stormontfeld hatchery, situated
on the river Tay, in Scotland. Mr..
Buist published a small pamphlet
giving an account of the expert
ments made, and the results as
observed by him, which is a very
interesting little work, but which is
probably now out of print, as it
was published about 40 years ago.
I secured copy some time after I
had started my hatchery on Rogue
river, but had the misfortune to
lose the work, in the fire which
occurred few years ago. My
efforts toward propagation of sal
mon were conducted much in line
with the principles advocated in
that work, and after more than 20
years study of the subject, it is my
opinion that Mr.. Buist was nearer
a solution of all the questions per-
tanning to the habits of salmon
than any who have dealt with the
matter since his time. In course of
the experiments conducted by Mr..
Buist, the adult salmon were i'm
pounded and held until ripened,
the spawn taken and hatched in
Matching boxes in the bottom of
which were layers of clean gravel.
When the young were hatched out,
they were placed in ponds through
which a constant stream of water
was kept flowing, the inlet being
closed by wire screens, but the out
let remaining open, so the fry could
depart at any time they desired.
This they showed no disposition
to do until IS months had elapsed
since the time they were spawned,
when they began to show signs of
disturbance, schooling and circling
around the pond for day or two,
and finally little more than half

CHAPTER III.

Although Brant was convinced as
not accept anything from the Boom
pointer influence. and that his inter
view with Susy was fruitless. he knew
that he must temporize. While he did
not believe that his old playmate would
willingly betray him, he was uneasy
when he thought of the vanity and i'm
pulsiveness which might compromise
him-or of a possible jealousy that
might seek revenge. Yet he had no rea-
son to believe that Susy's nature was
jealous, or that she was likely to have
any cause, but the fact was that the
climax of Miss Faulkner's temperance
when they were together affected him
more strongly than the real climax of
his interview with Susy-which was her
offer. Once out of the atmosphere of
that house, it struck him. too, that
Miss Faulkner was almost as much of
an alien to it as himself. He wondered
what she had been doing there. Could
it be possible that she was obtaining
information for the south? But he re-
jected the idea as quickly as it had
occurred to him. Perhaps there could
be no stronger proof of the unconscious
influence the young girl already had
over him.
He remembered the liveries of the
diplomatic carriage that had borne her
away and ascertained without diff
Guilty that her sister had married one
of the foreign ministers, and that she
was the guest in his house. But he was
the more astonished to hear that she
and her sister were considered to be
southern unionists, and were greatly
petted in governmental circles for their
sacrificing fidelity to the flag. His in
formant. an official in the state depart
ment, added that Miss Matilda might
have been good deal of a madcap at
the outbreak of the war, for the sisters
had a brother in the confederate serv-
ice. but that she had changed greatly,
and. indeed, within month. For" he
added. "she was at the white house for
the first time last week, and they say
the president talked more to her than
any other woman"
