The Chinese Complain of the Eng lish.—Their ill-feeling is caused by* the English allowing Hong Kong to be used as a base of operations by the French. It is stated that an Irish manifesto has been sent from Paris, to members of the English Cabinet, threatening them with death in the event of the renewal of the Crimes act. Anarchists.—A special from Canton, Ohio, says that two clubs of Anarchists witli a membership of 125, exist in that city. Secret meetings are held and in cendiary speeches are made by Commun ists from Chicago. Gladstone Pleased With the Brit ish Colonies. The British Colonies, New South Wales, Canada, Victoria, South Aus tralia, and Queen’s land, offer assistance. Lord Wolseley accepted the offers which had been made so spontaneously. Mr. Randall, correspondent of the Chron. & Const, says: Our friend Boykin Wright, had a charmiBg wedding. The presents were numerous, useful and valuable. But Dr. Cabell’s gift was infinitely the most precious—his ioveiy, intellectual and pious daughter. Her praise is universal In Richmond, and I am confident that Au gusta will cherish hdf aa she deserves and welcome her as one of the choicest prizes bestowed by Providence. Though the wedding was, in some respect a private one, confined to intimate friends and rela tions, It was perfect in all appointments. Mr. Randall the Washington correspon dent cf the Chronicle & Constitutionalist, says i “Mark Johnston, of Miliedgeville, is very powerfully urged for the Collector- ship of Internal Revenue in Georgia. He is a very alert and bright young man. In Putnam county, he owns the plantation where L. Q C. Lamar was born. The old manse is tne first three story house built m our St-.te. In the graveyard, on that, place, the grandfather, father and other kindred of the famous Senator from Mis sissippi are buried. A cyclone tore with consuming wrath through that section. Every tree and shrub and bit of fence fell before tho onset of the atmospheric bolt, but the graves and their marole embellish ment were strangely spared from violence. Senator Lamar has had some memorable interviews with Mark Johnston concern ing ttie home of his youth and the burial place of hi9 sires.” Ei Mahdi is reported to be advancing with a largo force to attack General Bul let’s forces on the retreat from Gubet to wards Kortie. The British had lost two men and Gen. Buffer was hastily entrench ing to protect his small force. Charles Williams correspondent of the London Chronicle was wounded. El Mahdi promised Farag 140,000 thalers to betray Khartoum. He paid him only 60,000 and when he complained, Mahdi had him hanged. El Mahdi capturc-d 15,- 000 Remington rifles at Khartoum, and they ar9 used at long range against the British. Gen. Buffer is supposed to be in reat danger. The Queen lias ordered out the reserves, and calling out tho militia. The Grenadier Guards have left for Sua- :Cin, Many of the Irish papers are repre sented as rejoicing over the British troub- ies. A TERRIBLE COLLISION. An Alexandria, Va., dispatch, says, four men were killed by the collision at Four Mile Run, and another missing was sup posed to be burned under the wreck. Sev eral others were seriously injured. Some of the passengers were badly shaken up but none were seriously hurt. The con tents of the Express were totally destroy ed. An immense quantity of mail matter was destroyed, the largest loss ever mown in the records of the Department. Xiie fire, also, destroyed 100 sacks of ordi nary mail matter. Many of tho pouches contained registered matter. Another fa tal accident on the Ohio and Mississippi train. Threeorfour persons were killed.

We feel quite sure that this bill cannot run the gauntlet of the House. That body will not consent to bur den the new administration with such a measure at its very commence ment. It is a serious matter to ap propriate $50,000,000, or 60,000,000 of dollars to be divided up among the States for educational purposes, and the Democrats in the House would have to bear the responsibility of the measure as they have a majority of between 40 and 50 in that body. Some of the States are very hostile to it, especially those that favor a reduc tion of the high tariff duties. The great pension list, and the reduction of the public debt, will require over a hundred millions. It is not singu lar that the protectionists, if they have no constitutional samples on the subject, should favor it. Most of them, also desire the repeal of the internal revenue laws, and those three measures would prevent the tariff reform, which is unquestiona bly desired by a majority of the peo ple of the United States. Indeed, tho high tariffites, instead of favor ing a reduction, would insist upon an increase of the duties upon im ported goods. We believe the true educational policy is for each state to bear the expense of educating its own \outh, white and colored. They are doing it now, to the extent of their ability. For the general gov ernment to do it, is a step taken in the line of centralization, which the Republican party ai'owed, and boldly proclaimed in its late plat form. We might extend our views in reference to these matters, but our purpose is merely to express our op position to the Blair Educational bill, and our belief that the object is to claim a paternal authority for the government, a position favorable to centralism, and the continuation of the high tariff for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. Man’s Tongue and Woman’s. Clara Bello says in one of her New York letters: I asked a physican if there really was any structural difference between the tongue of woman and of man. “Certainly,” he replied. "The organ is attached to the floor of the mouth at one extremity, and it is a fact that in the females the controlling muscles are much more pliab le than in males. Those mus cles which control the acts of taste, prehension and deglutition were not ap preciably diverse in the sexes, but those related to articulation are enormously developed in woman as compared with man.” I told him that he was a real mean old thing, and that I didn’t beUeve a word of It; but, privately,I shouldn’t, wondor if it ! was the GdSpel truth. Washington Letter, From Our liegular Correspondent Washington, Feb/23rd, 1885. The Washington Monument has been turned over, was the startling announcement on the street yester day at 12 o’clock. This did not mean that it had been over-turned, but that it had been turned over—trans ferred from the monument commit tee, who have had it in charge for 36 years, to the people of the United States. The ceremonial programme has now been completed, and the monument stands alone in its peer less grandeur, “divinelj* tall and most divinely fair,” the noblest trib ute to the noblest man. The six thousand who composed the civic and military procession, and who were out from 10 a. m., until 2 p. m., standing for most of the time massed in a square about the monu ment, had a foretaste of the horrors of war. It was bitter weather and many, chilled to the bone, were pros trated with cold. The procession from the monument to the Capitol was well ordered and imposing. I have seen many proces sions more along Pennsylvania aven ue, but never before have I seen the poiice succeed in keeping the streets clear, and their success on this occa sion argues well for the much larger procession which will move alon the same route next week, on the 4th of March. The side walks of Penn sylvania avenue are very wide, but the spectators have been disposed to encroach upon the street, to crowd the column in procession, and break the view from all but the front line. By a successful disposition of mount ed policemen, the avenue was kept perfectly clear, and all were enabled to enjoy the spectacle. Major Dye, the chief of police, received a letter of thanks from the President for his success in managing the crowd. First came General Sheridan in full uniform, mounted on a black horse. He was followed by four aids, and a large body of mounted men. Next in order came the U. S. infantry and artillery, and then the volunteer military and civic organizations. — These were followed by a long line of carriages, decorated with the stars and stripes, in which were members of Congress and Justices of the Su preme Court. The President sat in a carriage drawn by four horses. Conspicuous at the head of the south ern visiting military companies was Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, mounted on a superb dark bay stallion. The ceremonies at the monument were very brief. The weather was so cold that not even the speakers un covered their bald heads, and the audience sat with their hats on and moved their benumbed feet constant ly. At the Capitol, from which all but a favored two thousand were ex cluded, the ceremonies were protract ed, the speeches were longer, but were endured by the audience with fortitude. The first oration was writ ten by Mr. Winthrop, who was the orator thirty-seven years ago, when the corner stone was laid. It was in tho somewhat heavy and redundant style of rolling periods that was con sidered fine rhetoric forty years ago. Mr. Gladstone, Monsieur Gambetta, Lord Macauley, or Yilas would have said moro in half as many words. The oration was read by Mr. Long, of Massachusetts, the writer being too feeble to be present. The oration of Col. Daniels of Vir ginia was flowery and brilliant, soph- omorical and portentious. The best orators of the day practice a different style, and the orators of the future will not find models in the orations of last Saturday, except of some faults they should avoid. Life is too short, and modern common sense and culture is too practical, to be cheated and tickled by words, words, words. This view does not exclude eloquence, but it does exclude grand iloquence, which vaunts itself, and substitutes gaudy sentences for a chaste and simple expression of thought. If old Mr. Winthrop and young Mr. Daniels will take care to revise their orations before delivery and carefully cut out all the fine things they have doted on, they may yet make pretty good orators, but the old style of soaring the American eagle until she is out of sight, and making the larks sing at the gates of Paradise, will not do for these times. General Gordon’s Career. The career of Major-General Charles George Gordon reads more like a romance than a simple recitRl of historical facts. His popular title of “Chinese” Gordon made his namo known to every civilized nation on the face of the earth over 20 years ago, and since that time lie has been almost continuously before the pub lic gaze as a military hero of uncommon attributes. Beginning his life as a soldier in tho trenches before Sebastopol,Ja simple lieutenant of engineers, he rose to the highest rank ever given to a foreigner in China, after having subdued a formidable rebellion, then transferred his services to the government of the khedive or Egypt, where lie won fresh laurels in his light against slavery anti barbarism in the Soudan, returned to a comparatively peaceful life in the service of his own gov ernment, and finally went back to the scene of his former struggles in Africa to be killed by a follower of the False Prophet. Probably the story of no other military man of the age furnishes a more ro mantic history titan that of “Chinese” Gordon, and the fact that his death resulted from the delay of his own country in sending to him the relief which he needed until it was too late to make it effectual will add to the heroic interest which attached to his fate. General Gordon was fifty-two years old the clay before his death. IDLENESS. There is no reined* for time misspent; No healing for the waste of idleness Whose very languor is a punishment Heavier than active souls can feel or guess. 0 hours of indolence and discontent. Not now to be redeemed ! ye sting not less Because 1 know this span of life was lent For lofty duties, not for selfishness. Not to be whiied away in aimless dreams. But to improve ourselves, and serve mankind, iAfo and its choicest faculties were given. Man should be ever better than he seems. And shape his acts, and discipline his mind To walk adorning earth, with hope of heaven. Sir Aubrey de fere. LIFE. Life ! I know not what thou art. But know tliat thou and I must part; And when, or how, or where we met, 1 own to me's a secret yet. Life ' we've been long together. Tiirough pleasant and through cloudy weather: Tis hard to part when triends arc dear— Perhaps ’twill cost a sigh, a tear; —Then steal away, give little warning. Choose thine own time ; Say not Good Night,—But in some brighter clime— Bid me good morning. A. L. BabbaCLD. An Unsuccessful Hanging. Three separate attempts were made by the Sheriff at Exeter, England, to hang John Lee, condemned to death for the murder of Miss Keyes, near Torquay November last. Every time the trap failed to fall and the prisoner had to be taken back to his ceil. Twice he ascended the gallows with great calmness and courage, but when the machinery failed for the third time to act he seemed to wholly collapse from the prolonged ner vous strain and was carried to his cell in a half insensible condition. The execution was then postponed. Expressions of gratitude 00 the part of tho public are always impressive and sol emn. It is pleasant to know that the peo ple are justly praising the merits of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, a safe remedy for coughs, colds, Dronchitis, croup and gore throat. how like the violets her eye3 were, and how like roses her cheeks, they whispered softly, “We shall not mind her, she will see some cold weary days when the years of her youth are gone, the river will have lost its song for her then, the spring its magic gladness, the summer the triumph and rest of its glow, the ripeness of au tumn will but tell of the coming decay, and the rainfall, and the snowfall will have lost tlieir charms. She will be looking then only for ‘the light that never shone on sea or shore’ and nei tlier fairy nor spirit can give her back the glory that fills the world for her now. She is like all her brother and sister mortals, a child of sorrow. But she loves us and we will try and make lier spring-time happy. Good fairies! Springing out in all manner of graceful ways, the grass around was soon cover ed with lovely forms. A circle gathered on a polished laurel leaf, and while the bells chimed out a lively air, away they went footing it like the wind—Ah, that was dancing! How gallant the fairy knights looked, and how graceful the fairy dames! The stars look ed down and laughed, and Crill savs they kept time to the dance. While the lively ones were thus enjoying themselves, a troop of the others who seemed a little de pressed, filed slowly toward, what do you think ? Tho sore-eye! They passed round and round it singing a doleful song, in which they begged their pining one to remain with them. The measure was very familiar to Crill. She had often heard it in the sum mer nights at home among the ivy leaves outside her window, when she lay in her high little room, and looked out at the cool ing rain. It was very, very sweet. Slowly the sore-eye opened out, and bending down, lo! a pretty sight. On a tiny white bed on which was flung a grass- green coverlet, bordered with flower-down, lay a pale, sick fai ry. Over the green spread, waves of sparkling yellow hair lay heavily. Pale as the face was, it was lovlier to Crill than any flower she had ever seen. Snow and gold and forget-me- nots were blended beautifully, and she longed to go over and take the tiny thing and kiss it fondly. The little transparent hairs rested on the shoulders of two sturdy young fays who help ed the invalid to rise. A comfortable couch of butter cup leaves with pillows and cush ions of rush pith, was spread to receive her, and one old fairy, with such a good matured wriuk- led old face, soon had a warm petal from the red heart of a rose, tucked snugly around her. Then they all looked at her and some wept, saying how pale she was, and some smiled with pleas ure at the improvement they no ticed since last night. The dancers were all fondling her, and the forget-me-nots in the sick pet’s eyes, were brimming over with pleasant, tender dew. Suddenly she made a motion as if she would speak, and they all bent eagerly to listen. Her voice was thin and hollow but very touching and loving. She said Is not that little Crillie over there ? I see you darling little mortal! and love you very dearly. We know what tender hands you have to touch our fragile homes! We know how you listen to our music even in broad daylight, when other mortals are engaged in gross human occupations! We know what loving names you whisper at our home doors as you draw in their fragrance. We know what a loving child the lit tle Mother in the town has, and what helpful little hands these are, that hold the faded flowers. We have heard you sing your baby-brother to sleep with sweet hymns at sunset. We know how faithfullv you tended your dying school-mate.” Then looking around at the others she asked : ‘What mark of love and favor shall we bestow on our little friend?” Crill’s heart was bursting with joy and gratitude as the benignant eyes of the fairies beamed thought fully on her. They seemed to bo considering the question, avlien hark!—A thunder as of a myriad human feet in hot haste! a shout ing of boisterous voices, and ah! the fairyjscene was quickly fading. The sore-eye opened like a flash, receiving the sweet sick fairv , in to the blue-bells and anemones, disappeared the lovely throng, the stars and blue grew dim, and were hidden by pink sunset clouds, and poor Crillie, looking in the direction whence the noise came, beheld her brother and liis companions, with hair flying and cheeks like peonies, wild with the successes of the afternoon. Tliej danced and knelt and threw them selves around and beside her, and indeed I pity you if you will over have to listen to such torrents and volumes of talk, such wordy recitals of done and undone feats of daring and adventure— “Oh my fairies” thought Crillie”, “I can’t see ’em any more. They are frightened away forever, and she had much ado to keep back her tears. “And here’s this sleepy-boots not knowing anything, although she promised to know all about the fairies when I came back. Oh 1 you lazy Crill!” But she pinched the little boy’s arm, and whisper ed to him to say nothing about them until they were alone. “I’m so hungry,” said unromantic Pax, “let us hurry home, and tell me on the way.” The others were already returning; so whispering good-night to the now precious sore-eye while pretem^Lg*to-gath- THE FAIRY GLEN. Out from a little town in Ire land in the early afternoon, there rambled a brother and sister, Pax and Crill. Ferry Lane was drow sy and flsliy with a sea smell that deodorized the sweet air from the Rectory garden above it. After passing the green shady triangu lar little park, where nurse-maids gossiped while tho children play ed happily among the daisies by the Spout, they met a gardener loaded with cut liot-house blos soms, like a rough, good-natured flower-spirit, who threw them great handful of blooms, with smile. As they were dividing the gift, Crill keeping till the rosebuds, and spray of royal calceolarias, they heard a whooping, and there tum bled and jumped over the paling a host of Pax's little companions, “Oh, Pax,” shouted they breath lessly and altogether, “three birds’ nests! we just found ’em! down in the laurels! a black bird, a thrush and a linnet! Oh, come down with us, aud come Crill too!” Pax stood listening with open mouth and flushed cheeks to the account of tlieir successful bird nesting, and at once consented to go, and not all Crill’s entreaties could eliange his resolve. The fairies, in search of which they had started out, were but a mi nor attraction when birds’ nests were in question. “We will come back in a little while to you,” said he, “every one of us and may be will be in time to see the fai ries too,” and he scampered off with liis mates, leaving Crill to plod on by herself, a thing which by no means pleased her, for there were two great troubles be fore her, ere she reached her fai ryland. One of these was the ap parition of old Mr. Hazleton, the grove keeper, who she feared wouM loom up in her path, and say in his gruff cross voice, as he did once long ago to herself and Pax, “I want no idle young rogues about this place. My trees are all broken with your climbings and searchings and I’ll not have it, mind you.” Another direful possibility was a meeting with Mrs. Hazelton’s geese, whose gab bling contained all sounds that were horrible to the ears of Crill. With beating heart, the little girl kept on, however, and soon found herself in sight of the river and her hazel bower. She had passed in safety and unseen the dragons that guarded it, and was tremblingly happy as she threw herself clown to rest. “Rest, rest,” sang the river soothingly; “rest” sang the linnets over her head, aud “rest” sighed the wind floating down from the church yard. Her mossy couch was soft and fresh, and as she lay, the tall wild-flowers looked down kindly at her with sweet eyes. It was very pleasant to feel the flowers taller than herself, to watch the rose-tree shake down its pink showers upon her, as if in airy play, and to look up at the hazel tree and its green promise of nuts. At the bend of the river the ferryman mended a net with the sound of the water through the weirs in liis ears. Crill, turning round to watch the lazy cows in the meadow at the other side, re membered her pretty flowers. Still clutched in her hand they looked drooping and limp, poor things! ‘ “Well no matter”, thought she, “I can have these flowers here, and they are just as nice,”—and she looked at them lovingly. But how had this ugly weed got in among the beauties? A red-eyed little flower, a per fumeless thing, dispised and pur- secuted by every child who saw it, an ugly sore-eye! There it was growing sturdily among her bells and stars as if it had a shadow of right to be there—as if it was ever in its place except in the crevices of tumble-down neglected old walls. She was about to pull it up gin gerly, for nobody that wanted to keep his eyes all right would touch the flower or its leaves, when a thin, piping little voice, a poor pitiful crying little voice, called out “Oil stop, dear Crillie, don’t pull it up;” then she saw the sore-eye quiver mournfully. The evening was gathering fast, and some of the stars were out. Before she had time to be sur prised, an old air that her mother often sang at home trembled all around her like a rippling lake of sound. The blue-bells’ chimes are so sweet, if you could only once hear their music! It was about the “heather glen,” and Crill hummed softly the words her mother sang to it. “O! the bloonfin# heather! O, the heather glen! Where tairies come together Alluring mortal men. I never can pass by iL I never ilare go nigh it, My heart would not be quiet Within the heather glen.” She hummed it very, very soft ly, but I think it must have soun ded rudely to the tiny singers that were now peeping out from their —... flower homes. Seeing how quiet- er up her faded bouquet, she j01 li ly {L? little mortal lay there, and ed them. Shy poured out her wonderful story, as they dawdled along behind the others. When it was finished, Pax, looking with wide-open, lialf-believing, half— doubting eyes ; “and is it all true, Crill ? and wem't you asleep for sure ? If you could see the in dignant look of his sister at that. “I don’t think 111 ever tell von an other thing about my fairies—whv I saw ’em and heard ’em, yon naughty boy!” and she trudged on in proud silence beside the rather abashed doubter.

It is a new departure in a species or instruction that will add vastly to the wealth of Georgia and oth er states. The funds, already raised, amount to $5,000. In a few weeks the main workshops will be in process of construc tion. The structure will be forty by sixty feet, with two ells, twenty by twenty feet. Dr. Hopkins will visit and inspect similar institutions, west and east, and will pur chase the machinery for use in the school, which will be formally opened next Octo- ber. _ PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Tite receipts at the New Orleans exposi tion have met expenses since January 27, but there is no hope of overtaking the deficit througli the gate money. The deficit is $369,000. Botti of the Georgia senators voted that the senate has a iTght to amend legislative revisions in a general appropriation bill. The vote stood 35 to 23. The House committee on appropriations recommended the aiding the New Orleans exposition with $300,000 instead of $500,000, for which the commissioners asked. Tlie Roman Catholic Bishop of Shields. bury, ha3 issued a vigorous pastoral let ter, in which tie denounces the dynami- teurs as "pests,” “*courgers,” “enemies of God and man”, and "assassins striking in the dark”. The Bishop warns Catholics that they will incur the penalty of being denied tho holy sacraments of the Church and be debarred from all hopes of future salvation if they join "these emissaries of satan.” The Tidal Wave Mower.—This is an invention of an Augusta man, Mr. P.

A company has been organ ized to tunnel East river. It is claim ed that the tunnel can be built at one- fifth the cost of the bridge; that it will not obstruct navigation; will not be af fected by storms; will cost very little to maintain ; cars can be operated on the pneumatic principle, and the tun nel will afford passage for water, oil, and gas pipes, and telegraphic cables. If it does not progress a good deal faster than the North river tunnel the bridge will have a monopoly for a good many years yet. »100. TO YOU FOR NOTHING.

Na dine was put in the Almshouse as an im becile, but the physician, of the institution, says he Is morally responsible. Delicate Women. I have been usiDg for a month or two in my household Swift’s Specific, the greater portion of it having been consumed by the female portion of my family, and with the happiest results. It acted like a charm on my wife, who had been in bad health for a long time, and for whom I had paid hun dreds of dollars for doctors and medicines. It began to build her up from the first dose. Another female member of my fam ily took it with equally satisfactory re sults. It is certainly the best tonic for delicate ladies that I have ever used, and I have tried them all. I have no doubt that want of exercise, close confinement in poorly ventilated houses, sewer gas pois on and malarial poison often produce sick ness among our wives, daughters and sis ters, and I believe Swift’s Specific is the remedy for all this sort of blood poison ing. I know many of the best families of this county are using it for this purpose, and I have never known or heard of any failure to give entire satisfaction. I have known the remedy for a long time. I know it to be entirely vegetable, and the best tonic and alterative, especially for females. F. L. Jones, J. P-. Quitman, Ga. General Debility. For several years past my wife’s health has been exceedingly feeble— a general break down of the nervous system. She was greatly reduced in flesh. No remedy seemed to do her any good. In the spring of 188SI induced her to try Swift’s Specific. The first Dottle gave her hope and twenty bottles produced wonderful results. She gained thirty pounds in flesh and it reno vated her whole system. It is certainly the greatest tonic in the world. T. J. Higgins. Indian Springs, Ga.. Nov. 8, 1884.

After floundering about for some time, one of tbem s;fid, “Let’s get to another house; this hotel leaks.” An Irishman, with a heavy bun dle on his shoulder, riding on tin* front of a horse-car, was asked why he did not set his bundle on the platform. Ho replied; “Be jabbers, the horses have enough to drag me. I’ll carrv tho bun dle.” A bad little boy, in Aberdeen, rubbed cayenne pepper dust all over the back of his jacket. The school master thrashed him brisk ly, but dismissed tho school im mediately to run to the nearest chemist for eye water. ^A Dubuque boy was rather troubled for fear that he would not know his father when they _ both reached heaven, but his mother remarking; “All you have to do is to look for an angel with a red nose.” A bashful young clergyman, recently rising to preach for the first time, made a terrible mix of it and announced liis text in tins wise: “And immediately the cock wept and Peter went out and crew bitterly.” Mr. Smith, of Chicago cant s.q* why his wife should object to his staying at the club so late, simply because be said, when he came home the other night, “My dear it’s the coldest year for many nights; at fifteen degrees past ton, the clock stood sixteen minutes below frezo.” Two Irishmen traveling on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad track, came to a mile post when one of them said: “Tread aisy Pat; hear lies a man 108 years old—liis name was Miles from Baltimore".

How They do it in Salt Lake City.— “My deal.” said a Mormon wife to her husband, "I should think that you would bo ashamed of yourself flirting with that Miss B. t as you did to-day.” “Flirting with hor!” he replied, in aston ishment. “Why, wo have been engaged for more than three months.

HIS CONSCIENCE WAS QUIETED. |Chas. W. Warner.) Elder Phillips, who was a jovial soul, set tled many years ago near the headwaters of the Susquehanna. He was, in fact, a Presbyterian dominie. He was fuff of humor and ready with his repartee on all occasions. Jack Rickett, a quasi parishion er, who was more punctual at the river than at the church, presented the Elder one Monday morning with a fine string of pickerel. Elder Phillips thanked him graciouly for the gift. “But. Elder,” suggested Jack, stiff retain ing the fish, “those fish were caught yesterday (Sunday). Perhaps yer con science won’t let ye eat’em. “Jack,” replied the Eider, stretching out his band toward the string, “there’s ono thing I know—the pickerel were not to blame.” Why Shouldn’t he Understand.
