Jlr. Beecher, says the New York Herald, told a pretty hard 

 "fish story" to his people at the Plymouth prayer meeting 

 last evening. Ho said that whenever his father wont down 

 to Guilford. Conn., to visit, his wife's relatives, ho used to 

 think of nothing but finding a good place to catch trout. In 

 a certain pool there was a particularly large trout, and for 

 several years the old gentleman vainly tried to hook hiin. 

 Finally, during one of his annual visits, lie saw the old trout's 

 fins sticking out of the water in a shady spot under the bank. 

 The reverend angler bethought him that he had heard or 

 read that Msh could be tickled and captured with the hand. 

 He softly slipped a hand into the water under the rnotionjess 

 fish anil slightly tickled its belly with his finger tips. It shot 

 a little distance off, but returned almost immediately, and 

 Pere. Beecher moved his hand lightly along its scales until ap- 



rms in the park, 

 igers shouted at 

 sled. To avoid 

 ■sville at a lively 

 u, which halted, 



proaching the gills he slipped his forefinger iu and jerked the 

 surprised trout high and dry upon the. bank. The fish weighed 

 three pounds. Mr. Beecher told the story with such dramatic 

 force and so cleverly imitated the old gentleman peering into 

 the pool and reaching his arm down into the water that when 

 he pulled it up a rustle of excitement was noticeable in the 

 mcetiug. Mr. Bencher's unconscious mimicry iu another pan. 

 of his discourse led him to make a pose and a grimace which 

 would have delighted one of his caricaturists. He said his 

 Friday night congregation was like a brood of callow vobius 

 sitting in a nest with eyes shut and mouths open waiting for 

 him to drop in a worm. Mr. Beecher shut his own eyes, 

 opened his mouth to the fullest and sat for a moment with 

 face upturned, looking as much like a voting robin as was pos- 

 sible for a gentleman of his age and full habit, 



The Albanv (N. Y.) Argus gives this account of the woes of 

 mi unlucky pair of duck hunters: "Last Friday William (1. 

 Garder and Levi Duvall. of Troy, planned a raid." on the wild 

 dncks that rest at Hound Lake in their flights from the Arctic 

 regions. So they took the midnight train and wcut to Balls- 

 ton Spa, intending to walk back to the lake and arrive at the 

 hour when the ducks were beginning to bestir themselves. 

 They did this, but discovering no ducks they waudered into 

 the camp-meeting park. Seeing a squirrt 

 the posted penalties against discharging fir 

 Duvall brought it low. Superintendent 

 them, and said that he would have them a 

 this they took the railroad track for Media 

 paco, and when overtaken by a passenger t 

 they boarded it and were eapt urecl l>v Mr. Rogers. They 

 taken back to Round Lake, fined *10 each by Justice Swift 

 for the discharge of firearms, which they paid, and were then 

 arrested by Deputy Sheriff Harrison, of Ballston Spa, on a 

 warrant charging "them with burglary and robbery at Hay- 

 wood's jewelry shop, in that village, the night before. They 

 were taken to llallston and locked up for the night, but before 

 the hour set down for then - examination it was learned from 

 trustworthy sources in Troy that they were reputable young 

 men, and they were discharged and took the first train home 

 the next morning well satisfied that tlioy were not successful 

 duck hunters." 



Mr. William N. Morrison, superintendent of the Tompkins 

 avenue, Bushwick and Greonpoint avenue., and South Fourth 

 street lines of horse railroads, took a vacation for two weeks, 

 says the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Times, and made a circuit of Long 

 Island with a friend, behind a spirited team of horses. Fish- 

 ing tackle, guns, etc., were taken along to enable the gentle- 

 men to indulge; in their sporting proclivities, and a royal time 

 they had in yanking fish from the several streams, and in pop- 

 ping the game with which the island abounds. Wtu'le ou the 

 southern extremity of the island, close to the village, of Bell- 

 port, the gentlemen met with remarkable good luck and 

 leveled many a Hue specimen of the "wild duck creation." 

 In the heyday of their good fortune they thought of the 

 friends at honie, and among the. number Air. Franklin Wood- 

 ward, cashier of the railroads represented bv Mr. Morrison, 

 was included. Sixteen choicest ducks in the lot killed by the 

 perambulating sportsmen were neatly boxed and expressed 

 to "Franklin Woodward, Esq,, Brooklyn, N T . Y., Compliments 

 of W. N. M." Well, it so happens that there are name, synon- 

 ymous to the one put. on the box, and the expressman took 

 the box t» Mr. Franklin Woodruff, who ran for mayor three 

 years ago. Mr. Woodruff was at loss to know who •' <V. N. M." 

 was, but concluding it was some friend who wished to dis- 

 guise his identity, he opened the box and his eyes sparkled at 

 the sight of sixteen fat, plump ducks. Of course his family 

 could not eat them all at once so, it is said, several friends 

 were invited to partake of a game supper, and around the 

 festive board lips were smacked over the game and compli- 

 ments were bestowed on the "incog" friend. His health was 

 thank, and the game was disposed of and nothing but the 

 wrecks of the Long Island shooting tour confronted the 

 guests. Mr. Woodruff felt satisfied that the individuality of 



tho donor would bo disclosed soouer or later, and accordingly 

 determined to bide hW. time. Mr. Morrison arrived soon after 

 and asked Mr. Woodward how ho Liked the ducks, when a 

 derisive answer was given, and Mr. Morrison was given to 

 understand that he would be remembered in the same way 

 when he went out hunting. Air. Morrison endeavored to con- 

 vince Mr. Woodward that he had scut sixteen ducks from 

 Bellport, and indeed felt greatly chagrined to think that 

 they did not reach their destination An investigation fol- 

 lowed, when the mystery was solved by the expressman, 

 who said he thought thev 'were meant for Mr. Woodruff and he 

 accordingly took them to his residence. .Many a good laugh 

 has been had at Mr. Morrison's expense, 



And here is another "fish story" from the Washington, 

 (Del.) Every Evening: One day two residents of Deal's Island, 

 Md., were out fishing. They had paddled and rowed in the 

 hot sun all the afternoon without even getting a nibble. 

 They had just anchored to try their luck again when the 

 Rev. Joshua Thomas, the famous Methodist, minister, came 

 paddling along in his canoe. Now, it seemed as if one of the 

 men had long been the subject of the reverend gentleman's 

 prayers, without avail, however. As he came up he saluted 

 them with: "Well, brethren, what luck?' "Bail enough, 

 Parson Thomas, bad enough," replied one of the men. The 

 other called out in a joking way: "Now, look yer, Parson 

 Thomas, you pray an' we'll iish." "Done!" quickly responded 

 the. good man. He tied his canoe to a post and went down 

 on his knees. Over went their lines. Tho parson poured 

 forth his prayers in earnest, not forgetting to put in a word 

 for the salvation of the souls of tho men. Presently, excited 

 and enthiisiasi.il-, (ftieofthe men straightened himself up and 

 exclaimed: "Stop right thar, Joshua Thomas; I've got a bite; 

 I'll jine your congregation." Sure enough the first fish for 

 that day was a large sunperch, honestly believed to have been 

 caught under the inspiration of that prayer. 



I talked with a queer old man, in the pine woods in North 

 Carolina, who had observed tho'restlessness of most Northern 

 people when they first eanic to tho South. He said they always 

 acted "as ef they were hung ou wires, an' somebody was 

 jerkin' on 'em;" but Southern people "know how to take 

 their time, an' plenty on it." In reply I made the usual sage re- 

 marks about differences of character as affected by climate 

 and environment in general, and concluded with the opinion 

 that life in the South during the time of a few generations 

 would change the Yankee blood and temperament, aud pro- 

 duce a race of people who could "go slow" on occasion. 

 "Yes, yes," said lie; "that's so, young roan, that's so. I've 

 seen 'cm It takes 'cm jest about three weeks." If you give 

 the negroes time— to say nothiug farther regarding these 

 1 raits in the character of the white people— they, going on in 

 their largo, slow, inorganic, way, will accomplish important 

 results in the course of the year. Exertion seems less neces- 

 sary or desirable to dwellers in S'mt hern lands than to North- 

 ern people. A distinguished American am hor has said that a 

 ii i in could In- happy sit ting inn chair, in the open air. all day, 

 in Venice, and that if one wishes to work ho should not stay 

 there too lung. I have never been in Venice, but I saw many 

 places iu the South that appeared to resemble it closely in 

 these respects.— December Atlantic-.
