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 /lead Oily (N. C.) Cor. Atlanta Constitu tion. 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 hard at our weaknesses. Is he drawing your picture when he sings: But human bodies are »lc fools. For a’ their oolieaes and schools. That when no real ills perplex ’em They make euow themselves to vox ’em. 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, —lt is proposed honor the memory of Roger Williams by gaming after him the principal streeia in the several towns and cities of Rhode Island.

Use small buttons, and as close together as it is necessary to keep the skirt in place. Always tak e the precaution to examine each button before putting the garment on.— N. F. Post. 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. -Philadelphia Record. 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.
