culty. Tho introduction 01 the universal joint gives great free- 

 dom of movement, combined with almost perfect silence iu the 

 pursuit of game. 



Now, as to objections, I have found only a few that are worthy 

 of mention. They involve cost, " feathering-," use of Oars for 

 purposes of paddle and boat-hook, and the time required to 

 attach to, or detach from, I ho boat. In most cases, and in this 

 case, decidedly, the best is cheapest.. 



These oars cannot be "feathered," and the objection must 

 stand for what it may be worth. It is best to carry a boat-hook 



r kind of o 



nd It i 



nhincd with l 



1 carry a boat-hook an 

 •eigh little and oecasiot 



dtnary paddle in one article, if de 



a light, ordinary oar. They cost 

 ally tiro of service. 



The extra time to attach and detach will average from five to 

 ten seeonds, but this objection is more than counterbalanced by 

 the absence of oar-locks that may be easily lost or " borrowed. " 



A word about flush ton's boat. It is by all odds one of the best 

 for rowing- 1 hare seen, and has some great advantages for hunt- 

 ing, ft is Lift . long, weighs 85109., and carries four persons com- 

 fortably. It combines safety, speed and comfort to a great 

 degree. Amateuk.

Twenty Years op Inside Life in Wall Street. By 

 William ■Worthing! on Fowler, Now York: Orange Juda Com- 

 pany, 245 Broadway. 1B80. 

 Ten years ago Mr. Fowler published a book on Wall street, of 



A Connecticut Doo Story.— The New Haven Union 

 is responsible for this :— ''ARockviJle sporting man, hav- 

 ing a fine litter of setterpups— pedigreed stock— was tak- 

 ing- special pains to give them a good start in the world, 

 and to this end it was his custom to rise from his bed at 

 short intervals to feed them. It became rather tedious 

 business for him to 'crawl out' during the cold winter 

 nights to attend to their wants, so he tried a new plan. 

 Setting a pan of milk in a warm corner behind the stove, 

 he went to bed, and in the small hours the young canines 

 called for food. Thinking to make one job of it he arose 

 in 1*he dark and carried the pan carefully to the wood- 

 house. when seizing each pup by the nape of its neck be 

 thrust its nose into the pan, and when all had 'got to 

 their work,' returned to bis bed. The next morning he 

 was roused by his wife, who wanted to know what in the 

 world he had done with her bread pan. Investigation 

 followed ; his wife had wet up a batch of bread and set 

 it behind the stove to rise ; thispan our 'shot' had carried 

 to tite pups, and they, after gorging themselves with the 

 dough, waddled bapk to their warm nesfi. Tiin yeast was 

 good and the puppies rose, looking like so many muffs, 

 .\ iin loo head of t iie animal used for trimming, while 

 nd tail resembled warts on an early rose

 potato." 



One Way to Break a Doo,— Boston, March 24th.— I 

 read your paper with much interest, especially the one of 

 March 18th. Real things and real facts we all like— fan- 

 ciful ones rarely. But I must confess I am fearful of 

 being considered imaginary by most of your readers, 

 when I relate the following about my setter dog. Prince. 

 He is six years old. No one has ever shot over him but 



myself. For the last four years I have been in thi ;' Id 

 with him, four or live months each season, commencing 

 in Sept., in Elaine, and ending the 1st of Feb., in Vir- 

 ginia, giving him more practice than one dog in a thou- 

 sand gels. When he points a hire), T take my position 

 and then say to him, " If I kill this bird, 1 want you to 

 fetch hint as ((iiickly as you can." and he will do it. 

 Again, I take my position arid say to him, '• No, no. 

 Prince ; you must not go after this bird," anil lie stands 

 like a post and makes no move to retrieve the bird, un- 

 less ordered to do so. He never drops at shot, but will 

 stand and mark the bird, if not killed, as carefully arid 

 correctly as I can. He is a pure Laveraek. I claim that, 

 if you have an intelligent dog to start with, and keep 

 him entirely under your own training, by kindness and 

 lots of good common sense teaching you can advance 

 him beyond belief. (d.ifi', 



The FOREST and Stream, about May 1st, will remove to 

 the now office, now being specially fitted up for lis recep- 

 tion, in the New York Times building, Nos. 311 and 41 

 Park Row. The editors seem to have grown weary of 

 gazing at the varnish sign across the street, and desire to 

 exchange this ''for an outlook over the Jersey hills, and 

 i th so -■ beyond." We have no doubt but that in 

 the fuiure the Foebst and Stream will bo just as read- 

 is full of the good things which have, occu- 

 lts heretofore, and which make it the most 

 attractive publication of its kind which comes under our 

 notice. — insurance Monitor.

Foreicin Guns too Cheap.— Editor Forest ami 

 Stream : — I wish to say a few words through your val- 

 uable paper in regard to our Am clean gun makers. T 

 have been trying to introduce our home-made guns 

 through this city, for I feel that there arc as good guns 

 made in America as abroad : but 1 find induing so that 

 there are three in every five who can get a. discount of 

 some of the manufacturers far below what they claim is 

 their standard price. Now, I call this poor encourage- 

 ment to the retail dealer to sell American guns, for their 

 discount is small to us. Importers also sell to hardware 

 men, who don't pretend to ileal in their goods, as low as I 

 can buy. I, for one, will not attempt to sell more until 

 the manufacturers keep to their retail price. And 1 want 

 to see other retail dealers stand up for their rights.
