A TROUT NURSE.
Realty Fish That Played the Part
of Attendant to a Diseased
Fellow.

In 'sWild Life in Hampshire High
lands Mr.. George A. B. Dewar gives
this incident, which he declares pre-
scented fishing in new light, and for
a time took the edge off his pleasure
in that sport:
81 was fishing one day, some IL
seasons ago, at Testcombe, where the
Anton joins the Test, when I saw
swimming slowly along the side of
the stream just below me a large
black trout of about two pounds. It
was a year when there were many
fish suffering from fungoid disease,
and this trout had the fungus all over
its head, and was evidently quite blind.
Behind this sick trout was a fine,
healthy trout of about one and one
half pounds. Both swan slowly along
close to the side, so that I was able
to watch them for about ten minutes.
The healthy trout was watching over
the sick one. Whenever the sick fish
got too near the edge of the stream
the healthy one would swim inside
and gently push the former in the side
deeper water.
''This was done repeatedly, until
put my landing net under the dis
eased fish and took it out of the
water, when the healthy one left the
spot. have not the slightest doubt
that the healthy fish had taken
charge of the sick one. Up to that
| time had always been accustomed
| to look on fish as very cold-blooded
creatures"

WILL STARTLE THE WORLD.
Probably e125,OOO,OOO in Interest and
Dividends to Be Distributed In New
York Alone July L.

st. Louis, June ga special from
New York to the Republic (dem.)
says: There will be disbursed on
July 1 in this city the enormous sum
of between 100000 and $125, 000, 900
in interest and dividend payments,
according to conservative estimates,
and this sum will break all previous
records for July disbursements and
doubtless will exceed any January 1
exhibit, when the payments are the
heaviest of the year.
These figures, eloquent as they are
of the financial and Industrial
strength of the country, must nat
urally be raised in view of the ire
mendous development of the nation
during the last six months. The
farm, factory and furnace are all
buster than ever before, and the dis
bursements of next month, when ac-
curate footings are made, will doubt
less astonish the country.

President Garfield was shot July
I'd, 1851. He died Sept. 10Th.
His assassin's trial began Nov. Il,
and dragged along until Jan. IS,
1882, when the jury rendered a
verdict OF guilty. The sentence of
death was pronounced Feb. 4, and
the m~iscreant was executed June
80. 1852, nearly one year after the
commission of the foul deed. In
that case several lawyers wanted 10
make regulations and they were al
lowed to try it to the disgrace of the
American bar and the encourage
ment of mob violence.
1t is evident from these two cases
that the country is learning some
thing. Evidently the course pur'
sued in the Garfield case gave great
encouragement to technical lawyers
and has increased their efforts il
this direction ever since, and this ha,
developed and increased the mo-
spirit in the people, for mobs have
been on the increase ever since.
A few such cases as this OF tn.

ley, will quiet all disposition to mo-
violence and hangings and burning
by mobs, will be a thing OF the past
