Literary Notes.

The Scribner's magazine for June is
very strong in short stories. William
A lien White. the Kansas editor, whose
'hBoyville Stories are so well known,
writes tale of Western political life
with which his editorial duties have
brought him in close contact. He calls
Il "A Victory for the People, and gives
the inside history of the appointment of
United States senator by the governor,
a kind of politics which is just now very
much in evidence. The illustrations are
by w. X. Leigh.
Korea is considered by most people as
IL country in which ignorance and super
stitiOn are rife, but to this little state
belongs the credit Of some of the great
est inventions of history. Singularly
enough, however, neither Korea nor the
world at large, except In one case, has
benefited by her inventions. A writer
in Harper'S magazine for June discusses
this subject fully, and shows that the
Koreans invented the first iron-clad
attle.ship, the first movable metal type,
the first twisted cable, the first bomb
aud mortar and the first suspension.

The fshiug party consisting OF j. +.
Holman, Albert Lesvitt, c. H. Jones,
Z. Il Jones and l.. C. Williams have
recently returned from their annual fish,
ing trip with ane strings of trout, and,
IL one may Judge from the odor OF fried
trout arising from the numerous kitch-
ens in this vicinity, they did not forget
their many friends. They brought home
a number of trout that would weigh
two pounds each, after being dressed.
They all agree that there is no place in
Maine for gen uine sport like Moxie
Pond.
Perhaps a description of this famous
fishing resort would not come amiss to
the many readers of this paper. Moxie
pond is a beautiful sheet of water about
seven miles long, situated in Moxie
township, surrounded by primeval
forests and rugged mountains. From
The Forks hotel blackboard road, six
miles, leads TO the foot OF the pond. then
five miles by boat, and one is In the
midst of the best fishing grounds to be
found in the State of Maine. On Mos
quito Point, cottages have been erected
for the accommodation of guests, owned
and managed by J. c. Merrill, proprietor
of The Forks hotel.
This place ia one of natures gems,
jutting boldly out from the shore, shad'
ed by lofty Norway pines, midway be-
tween Bald mountain, which rears LIS
lofty summit far above the clouds. and
Mosquito mountain, whose sides are
clothed to its very top with evergreen
trees, it seems paradise when true
lover of nature could enjoy himself for
ever. No pen could convey TO the mind
the beauties of this place. One must see
ii in order to understand. One may sit
on the lodges within twenty feet of the
cottage door and catch trout weighing
two and three pounds. From Mosquito
Point it is but short distance by water
to Sandy stream, Bear brook, "Joe's
Hole,n Baker brook, Black Narrows,
Alder stream, all famous fishing chances.
At certain seasons OF the year good
catches are made in Moxie bog, Baker
pond and Mosquito pond, within twenty
minutes walk Of Moxie pond.
Not only is this spot renowned for It's
trout, but the surrounding forests are
full of moose and deer. The writer can
name five different parties who killed
bull moose on Bald mountain. He was
i'm party of four, who, in two days
hunt, saw fourteen deer Mr.. Merrill
has spared no pains or expense to make
his guests comfortable. His charges are
reasonable, and the only regret one has
on leaving is that he cannot remain
