satisfactory to the delegation here Ia
Congress, particularly to those OF the

watched closely the political develop

which were gladly forwarded. The gov
ernoF is quite as earnest ss Senator Hale
in doing everything possible for stock
ing the lakes and streams OF that section
OF Maine. Both have done q great deal
ia that direction, through Congress and
through the fish commission. They
have sent to Maine annually large con-
sigpments of brook trout and other
species, hstched by the fish commission.
the distributions are made by the fsh
commission ON the endorsement OF sena-
tors and members.
Gov. Barieigh has already sent large
eonsignments TO the vicinity of Blushili
and Hancock. The other day he received
an application for iandloesed salmon
from J. J. Walker, of Liberty.
In recent years Senstor Hale has ac-
compiished a great deal In the way Of
appropriations for the fsh hatcheries at
Green Lake aud Craig Brook. Hardly q
session OF Congress goes by thst he does
not secure some extra appropriation for
one OF these hateheries. which owe their

In the good old days a clown in the
east Oh visit to ii city kinsman while
at dinner pointed to burning candle
and asked what it was The city man
said in jest that it was a sunling, or
one of the children of the sun.
The clown thought that it was some.
thing rare, so he waited for a chance
and hid it in chest Of drawers close
by. Soon the chest caught fire, then
the curtains by its side, then the room,
then the whole house.
After the flames had been put out
the city man and the clown went into
the burned building to see what re-
mained. The clown turned over the
embers of the chest Of drawers. The
c1ty man asked what he was seeking
for. The clown said 1T is in this chest
that hid the bright sunling. wish
to know if he has survived the flames"
ALAS" said the city man, who now
found out the cause Of all the mischief.

Considerable mystery surrounds the
loss of the vessel. According to the
statements of the crew who freely
discussed the wreck after they had
been rescued by the men Of the Mono

had been using liquor since the time
the seven men who constituted the
crew are negroes, the only white man
on board having been Captain Bonsey.
Although the crew were rescued from
the ship soon after she went ashore,
Captain BonseX refused to leave the
vessel at the time There was con
slant danger that the schooner would
go to pieces, but it was not until morn
ing that the captain left his ship. He
said that he did not care to abandon
her until he became assured that she
would almost certainly be total
wreck.
Captain Bonsey refused to say any
