A North Carolina Venice*
I suppose Morehead City is the only
city in the world without a wheel in it.
The main export of the town besides
truck is fish, but the fish caught here
embrace everything from a whale to a
shrimp. Last year two or three whales
were taken off this coast, and a
whale is worth from $1,200 to $2,000.
It is said that they get between the shore
and the gulf stream, and in trying to
Ixs* t out to sea are sickened by the warm
water. They turn to shore again, and
soon strand themselves. Along the bays
and inlets mackerel are caught in large
quantities in nets. But this wholesale
fishing is neither picturesque nor inter
esting. A pretty sport practiced along
the shore is spearing flounders. A small
row boat is put adrift. A man with a
flambeau walks alongside up to his knees
in water. In the bow of the boat sports
men stand with slender gigs. Along the
bottom, by the reflection of the light,
can be seen white flounders buried in
the sand. They remain perfectly still
while the gig is poised above them, and
never move until they are either speared
or missed. The only drawback to this
sport is that occasionally your torch
bearer is stung by a stingaree. A stin
garee is simply a long buggy whip,
broken out with the small-pox and filled
with steel springs, aquafortis and nee
dles. When he hits you, lockjaw is the
mildest possible result. The little colored
contingent about Morehead makes its
living by crabbing. With a little boat,
hardly bigger than a tub, they go out
in the surf, and flopping in and out like
amphibia, soon oome in with a bushel
or so of the ugliest looking and sweetest
tasting things that swim the water.
One other very important industry of
this most interesting place is the raising
of “ma’sh tackies.” The marsh tackey
is a shaggy pony, hardly larger than
the Shetland, light built and hardy. He
lives in the water, and will not eat corn
or hay. He is brought up on the marsh
grass, which he eats between tides.
They cost literally nothing, breeding in
droves as wild horses. Each drove has
its leader, who selects the eating grounds
and decides when the tides are going
out or coming in. Once every year the
owners have what is called a “pony
penning.” All the ponies along the
coast, running into the thousands, are
driven in by boats and cither branded
or sold. They bring from $l5 to $3O
apiece, and it is a tribute to their utter
wildness that a “broke” pony, that is,
one that can be ridden or driven, is
called a “trained tackey,” and brings
$7O. They are in great'demand in the
middle part of the State, eating little
and doing a heap of work. They run
down to skin and bones before they
learn to eat corn or hay, but then fatten
rapidly and lose the ugly reddish color
the salt water gives them. There are
men wno buy them in large numbers,
train them, and take them to the moun
tains and get fancy prices for them. As
I write there is a drove of tackies march
ing in slow and sedate procession against
the horizon. The leader, bearing his
responsibility with dignity, picks the
way carefully, and his company follow
with a blind sense of confidence. Ths
water, as it splashes about their legs,
glistens like showered silver, and their
red sides shine against the sun like
bronze. On they go, as birds beat home
ward in the twib*jht, growing smaller
and more indistinct as they plod their
steady way. At last they are but specks
above the water, moving dnmb and pa
tient to some well-desired goal.—More

Why He Didn’t Explain.
Some eight or teu years ago a silvery
tongued chap who claimed to be a fruit
tree agent swindled the farmers of this
county in a shameful manner, and one
resident of Nankin was so mad about it
that he came to Detroit, searched the
rascal out, and gave him abounding on
the street. After he got through his
work he told the fellow that he would
lick him twice as bad if he ever put eyes
on him again, and it was a threat to be
remembered and nursed. About three
weeks ago the Nankin man was travel
ing in Washtenaw County, and as he
journeyed along the highway he met a
traveler who so closely resembled the
fruit-tree swindler that he halted, and
called out:
“Here you are again, you bold-faced
rascal!”
“Yes, I’m here,” was the calm re
ply-
“Well, so’m I, and I’m going to lick
you until you can’t holler! I said I’d
do it, and I always keep my word.
Climb down here!”
The stranger “dumb” without a pro
test, shedding his coat as he struck the
ground, and a fight began. In about
two minutes he bad used up the farmer
and was coolly replacing his coat.
“See here,” said the man from Nan
kin, as he wiped his nose with a bur
dock, “you fight better than you did
eight years ago.”
“ Well, I dunno. This is my first af
fair with you.”
“Didn’t I wallop you in front of the
Detroit Post-office eight years ago?”
“ No, sir! 1 was in Australia up to a
year ago.”
“ And you never saw me before?”
“ Never!”
“ And was never in Nankin?”
“Never!”
“Well, I’ll be hanged! Come to look
at you I can see that you are not the
man! Why on earth didn't you explain,
or ask me*to? You must have thought
me mistaken.”
“Oh, yes, I knew you were mistaken;
but I had just discovered that I had
driven seven miles on the wrong road
and was wishing some one would come
along and give me two words of sass.
I didn’t want any explanations about
it. A rotten sweet apple will cure that
black eye in three or four days, and salt
and water will tighten your front teeth
in a week or so. I feel fifty per cent,
better, and I’m ever so mucli obliged.
So long to you!”— Detroit Free Pres*.
—Robert Burns once in a while hit

Women and Water.
’ “There's an end to all fishin’ for
this season!” sighed the old man, dis
i mally. “ Perch was just bitin* good
i and bass was commencin’ fer to run,
i but it’s all up now for good!”
i “Why so?”
i “See them three girls out there in a
boat? When three gins goes rowin’ the
i fish just pack up and slip out.”
• “How do you account for that?”
“’Cause girls makes such a splashin’
and fuss and slam around so that even
a whale couldn’t stand it Hear’em
now!”
There is a good deal in the proposi
tion that girls “slam around” some
under the conditions nominated, and a
man who takes any interest in human
nature can hoard a great deal of infor
mation by watching three women get
into a small boat. First, there is a series
of squeals, supplemented by an edition
of yells, closing with an abrupt dive and
then an effort to sit on the same seat,
and prolonged falsetto inquiries as to
why the thintf tips over so. To the av
erage woman the center of gravity is
always over in the next country when
she wants to get into a boat, and the
idea of equilibrium never enters into
her calculation, until the keel pops up
above the surface to see what’s going
on inside. As for rowing, the girl of
the period regards it from a standpoint
peculiar to herself, and inclines to the
opinion that the oar-blades were made
sharp because the water is hard and
the order of the day.
“ I claim that no woman can rows
boat.” continued the old man. “You
see that girl shove one oar in the water
While she holds the other in the air, and
abuses the other two for not steering
straight. But they get come up with,”
he chuckled. “'The other dav that
same party was out tishin’ and they
caught one crab, lhe crab know’ll
they was g : rls as soon as he got in the
boat, and he just opened his nippers
and them gals walked ashore. I ketched
their boat about a mile below and that
crab was sitting up on the midships
thwart winking at himself for his luck
and enterprise,” and the old man bent
his attention on his fish-hooks, chuck
ling audibly as the force of the reminis
cence struck him.
“No, sir,” continued the old man,
glancing out on the river, “girls has no
business in a boat, unless it’s pulled up
out of the water. 'The other day a chap
went out with a couple of women after
cat-tails, and he let ’em row. Their
course was down stream, but as soon as
they dug their oars into the water the
boat started the other way, and I’m
blessed if it stopped until they reached
the head of navigation and slid up a
tree. I’d as quick trust a baby with a
gun as a girl with a boat, if I had my
way. There they go!” and he pointed
to the disaster beyond. “When they
wan? to change places they try to walk
past each other on the same side, and
that fetches 'em! The water is nigh on
to two feet deep there, and they are sat
isfied they are drowned!”
Did you ever see a woman fish?
Primarily she catches the hook in her
dress, drops her hands in her lap, and
says “pshaw!” Next she denounces
the bait as “nasty,” refuses to touch it,
and. then wonders why somebody does
not “string it” on her hook for her. If
by any mistake she gets her line into the
water, she is sure that something is
wrong with the sinker, and if she gets a
nibble sho throws the whole business
overboard, falls backward into the bot
tom of the boat and squeals for help.
Occasionally you will find one who
holds on and captures her prey. Look
out for such a woman. Intoxicated
with success, she will swing her line
around her head, tear a man’s jaw out
with a hook, and all the time pity the
fish.— Brooklyn Eagle.
A Ghostly Purchase.
Mrs. Jones was down town making
some purchases one day lasi week, ami
among other things boiight a luminous
match-safe, which could be seen in the
gloom of the darkest night, the manu
facturers announced. It represented a
face with open eyes and mouth, and
looked simply like a china mask in the
broad light of day. Mrs. Jones took it
home, hung it up on the wall at the foot
of the bed and forgot all about it. That
night Jones came home late; he had
been kept out on business by a custom
er who wanted his goods invoiced, and
he had told Maria not to sit up for him.
About midnight he came in, remarked
with chattering teeth that it was turn
ing cold, or he had the ague, turned
down the light which had been left
burning for him, and tumbled into bed.
The next moment he would have been
snoring but he happened to open his
eyes and he sat up in bed with one ter
rific whoop of “Good Lord!” “Are you
saying your prayers, Jeptha?” asked
Mrs. Jones, sleepily; “you needn’t be
so emphatic. Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h gr-a
-c-ious g-o-o-dness! it’s a ghost!” she
screamed as her eyes opened on the
ghostly face at the foot of the bed.
Never did two people make such time
getting out of any place as they did in
vacating that room. Then they sat
down on the top of the stairs to consult
as to the next course of procedure.
“It was the ghost of my father,” said
Jones, shaking like a leaf. “I recog
nized the features instantly. Oh,
Maria, what can it mean? It must be
awful warning. I—l don’t feel
well, Maria: I—l really don’t.”
At this moment Bridget the valiant
appeared.
“Did I iver hear the loikes of this
schramin’ ?’ J she exclaimed, as she ex
plored her way with a kerosene lamp.
“I’hat’s got yees now?”
They told Bridget as well as they
could, and that female answered com
posedly:
“The evil one will fly away wid yees
yet; if it’s a ghost me own two eyes
wad like to see it,” and she marched
into the bed room, gave a wild yell, aud
came out in triumph with the illumin
ated match-safe in her hand; Mrs.
Jones laughed hysterically, but Jones
was downright mad.
“Women are such fools,” he ex
laimed, savagely; “bought the thing
herself and hung it up, and then took
it for a ghost; I’m thankful I’m not a
Woman.”— Detroit Post and Tribune,

The Last Man’s Club.
The death of Robert Riddle, of No.
1,337 Hanover street, on Sunday, leaves
but four survivors of the original Last
Man’s Club, of this city, which was or
ganized with fifteen members thirty
years ago. Mr. Riddle was the presi
dent of the club, which was organized
by the following members of old Vig
ilant Fire Company: James Gallaway,
John Gallaway, William Kiddle, Robert
Biddle, W. \. Owens, W. Kucher, Wil
liam Wilkison, Anthony White, W. C.
Fry, James Hennessey, Theodore Wil
son, John H. Mcllwain, George K. Mc-
Ilwain, John Koy, aud Theodore Adams,
the last four being the only survivors.
It was agreed when the club was or
ganized that on the 2d of January of each
year the members should all attend a
supper, and that a Regular organization
should be maintained until the death of
all the members, the last survivor to take
the club effects to his home as a me
mento. Through thirty years this agree
ment has been kept. At each supper
plates were laid for all of the dead
members, and each was toasted in turn.
On Jan. 2, 1882, there were eleven
empty chairs at the table. Mr. Riddle,
who has just died, presided, and a wager
was made that he would, as had all of
the other presidents of the club, die
before the other members. A president
will have to be elected on Jan. 2 next.
In view of the fate of the presidents of
the club, candidates for the position are
backward about announcing themselves.

Practical Education.
The Rural New Yorker, in comment
ing upon the methods of education of the
present day, says: “It was Charles
Lamb who said that his idea of educat
ing a girl was to turn her loose in a well
chosen library. Of course he was think
ing of a girl as a companion, not as a
clerk or a lawyer. In our own case,
some of the brightest and most intelli
gent of the many delightful women we
meet have never had a college educa
tion, know nothing of mathematics, and
not much of science; but instead, have
dipped deep into good literature, and
can take an intelligent interest in, and
give a sound opinion upon, the great
questions of the day.”
If a man means what he says he will
be deliberate in his speech, aud state
his purpose in plain, simple fashion.
Intending suicide, be will not make
motions at himself with a razor in the
presence of his family five or six times
a day. Mr. Micawber’s style of speech
is associated with his style of action.
All difficult, vaporing, tragic, superlative
words exhaust the speaker. His strength
all goes out through his mouth, and he
is thus left helpless to do anything.
Lyman Beecher said that when he had
not much of a sermon he always thumped
the pulpit and “hollered.”
The Economic Value of Sharks.
The economic value of sharks is not
confined to their oil. The negroes of
the Guinea coast eat the flesh after it
approaches the “ high ” state of excel
lence so esteemed by epicures in hare,
venison, etc. In the Mediterranean the
young sharks taken from the old ones
are esteemed, and the ventral portions
of the adult sharks. Fifty thousand
dollars* worth of shark fins are imported
yearly from Calcutta to China, where they
are in great demand for soup. On some
parts of the African coast the shark is
valued as a god and dubbed the Jon-Jon.
Its mouth is the sure and only way to
heaven, and three or four times a year a
human victim is sacrificed to it. In
some of the islands of the Pacific the
teeth are greatly regarded as weapons,
being bored at their bases and lashed upon
swords, daggers and spears, forming
terrible arms, the serrated edges lacer
ating and tearing the flesh. As a pro
tection from these the natives have a
regular armor, made of cocoanut fibre,
fine examples of which may be seen, as
well as the weapons, in the arclueologi
cftl collection at the Museum of Natural
History, Central Park. The most form
idable weapons are a pair of gloves or
long gauntlets that cover the arms, and
ate faced with long recurving teeth.
These are worn only by the largest men,
who in battle rush boldly into the
throng, seize a victim in their arms, and
literally tear him to pieces. The back
bom s of sharks on our southern coasts
are used as canes, a steel rod being run
down through the vertebrae, and the
diff< rent parts polished and inlaid, form
ing, probably, the least vataabk > f all
t!» products of this scavenger of the
sea. Cot rt s.s-rtdeia-e N. Y. Post.

On the appearance of the first symptoms,
as general debility, loss of appetite, pallor,
chilly sensations, followed by night-sweats
and cough, prompt measures of relief
should be taken. Consumption is scrofu
lous disease of the lungs; therefore use

GENTLEMEN: I have used Dk. Haktkk's Ikon Tonic in my practice. nha’Tri Fah experience'
a twenty-five vears tn medicine, have never found anvthlng to give the results that 1» .
Iron Tonic does. In many cases of Nervous Prostration, Female Diseases. Dyspepsia, and an im
poverished condition of the blood, this peerless remedy has, in my hands, made some wonderful cures,
vases that have battled some of our most eminent physicians have yielded to &■* great and incompar
able remedy. I prescribe it in preference to anv iron preparation made. Zn fact, such a compound
as Db. Habtkb’S Iron Tonic is a necessity in my practice. Dk. ROBERT SAMUELS,
