Livan County Fish Story.

While Lewis A. Goldsmith and Viii
liam Hogancamp were hunting ducks
on White lake one day recently they
shot at duck, and then noticed a
splashing in the water whore the
duck had been, and, supposing they
had wounded it, rowed to the spot
and grabbed what they thought was
the wounded duck, but imagine their
surprise when they found they had,
instead Of duck, two large bass.
The larger one had the head of the
smaller one in its mouth, and its gills
had become fastened so that it could
not disengage itself, and its efforts to
do SO had caused the splashing which
the hunters had noticed. The large
one weighed 81 pounds and the small
er one q pounds. ~ Monticello

Something New in War.

No more striking illustration of the
relatively bloodlcss character of the
recent T'urko-Grecian war can be
given than that afforded by the Of
fetal returns recently issued, accord
ing TO which the number of prisoners
taken bv the rival armies amounted
to 200 men each, while in the Greek
hospitals there had throughout the
campaign not been a single Greek sol
der treated for sabre, bayonet or
lance wound, the only injuries being
those inflicted by rifle bullets or by
the explosion of shells. This is equiv
alent TO demonstration that there
was no hand-to-hand fighting, and
that the troops never really came to
close quarters throughout the strug-
Gle.

orHE LAST SUPPER. +"
Leonardo da vincis Masterpiecs-The
Fresco at Milan.

The glory of the life OF Leonardo
da yinci was his famous painting OF
"The Last supper" which has now
unfortunately fallen into decay. Da
yinci represented the highest type OF
the intellect and cultivation of the
sixteenth century in Italy. His ge-
MUS was varied and for all time. In
this splendid work the dramatic mo-
ment is chosen when Christ an
nounces His approaching betrayal,
and the disciples are represented as
variotlsly expressing their grief and
CONSERVATION. The head Of Christ
has become almost a divinity. 1t
expresses more satisfactorily than any
other painting the dignity. majesty,
greatness and resignation Of the Sa-
viour. The figures are larger than
life, painted on the walls of the re-
fectory in the old Santa Maria
della Grazia at Milan. 1t is done in
oil, in fugitive pigments, and damp
and decay edestroyedi color, and
it is falling to pieces. Jesus sits in the
middle with the twelve disciples
on either hand at a long table on
which n light rcpast is spread. The
accessories are simple, but the dra-
peries are finely arranged. The sew
eral disciples, expressing, each ac-
cording to his nature, establishment
or horror at the Saviour's announce
ment Of His betrayal, are wonderfully
varied in individual character lthas
been said Of this masterpiece that it
is the most successful effort Of Chris

THE time is not far distant
when our citizens will have
an opportunity to participate in
the election of a mayor and ten
courcilmen for the city of Clarks'
burg. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant problems that presents
itself to thepeople and yet it has
always been treated as trivial
matter. A convention called to
select candidates, or delegates,
no matter how we'll it is adver-
tised, fails either to arouse inter
est or bring out anything like a
representative audience. II some
citizen happens to want one of
the city Offices he will probably
go around and get up a delega-
ton of his special friends and
aside from this, the whole mat
ter appears to fall fat. Let us
have no more such indifference.
There is a future for harrisburg
that will surely surpass the fond
est dreams of those patriotic
citizens whose bright predictions
have for years kept US patti
ent and hopeful. Every citizen
has much at stake in a city cleo
ton. Every taxpayer, every
merchant, every professional
man is interested. Why make
so much fuss about the officials
who are to preside at Washing
ton or Charleston and pay no at
tention to the one government
that comes to our very DOORS
that affords us comfort, when
awake and upon our streets and
gives US peace and protection
when asleep within our homes ?

terest in the government of
