West Union, lowa, June 6th, 'BS. FRIEND JOURNAL : Permit me to offer ] the following incentive to the hopeful and patient disciples of Izaak Walton who loiter away long sunny afternoons along the raging waters of Elk Creek, contented if they catch a few "chubs" and crowing like roosters when they capture a few trout or suckers '.—Yes terday a friend sent us a pickerel weighing 16 pounds and 40* inches long. It was speared six miles from here in Turkey river, a stream a little larger than Penn's Creek. A magnificent fish for these parts, I assure you. I suppose nearly all of your readers have seen pickerel. It is a very shapely fish —built for speed, like the paper boats of University crews. Its mouth is large, the under jaw slightly protuding beyond the upper, and the teeth are sharp and serrated ; the front teeth in cline inwaid, so that the fish can easily hold its prey; it is easy for the victim to get into the pickerel's mouth, but next to impossible to get out. Besides pickerel, our streams afford black bass, trout, cat-fish [here called "bull-heads"], a species of sucker call ed "red-horse," and of course the om nipresent chub, or minnow, as it is here called. Trout are rather scarce, however. After an absence of some nine years, I have found on my return here the town very much improved, a note worthy feature is the telephone system, which connects West Union [the coun ty seat of Fayette] witn all the towns in the county. Quite a number of Pennsylvanians are in the county. Among those in town are Hon. S. B. Ziegler. Congress man, Wm E. Fuller .James McMasters, T. R.Stam, and John Foote. Mr.Stam is building up a good business in his "Bee Hive" store. He tells me that his sales the other Saturday amounted to slßo— which is certainly an improve ment on Millheim. John Foote is in the Chicago grocery store and does a flourishing business. Several of our speculators have been shipping cattle to Dakota and Montana. It seems that, with all their stock-rais ing out there, cattle fetch better prices at present than here. Had a talk with David Bell the oth er day—an old resident here. He told me of having met Ex-sheriff Musser and lady at the New Orleans Exposi tion and of having had an entertaining conversation with them. Crops are doing finely, and promise to make up what was lost by a late Spring. We haye bad some good show ers of late, and the "green things" are growing most luxuriantly. Fruit trees, however, haye been seriously hurt by the winter's severity. There will be scarcely any apples—the only fruit to which much attention is paid. Wild red plumbs are abundant—and these are all right, being native. You may wish to know something of how prohibition is working in lowa. Well, it does not altogether prohibit; a large quantity of liquors is smuggled into the State—especially beer. The law is, nevertheless, doing a good work, and in same places is vigorously enforc ed. In a late paper I notice that at Washington, in the southeastern part of the State, 800 kegs of beer from Gngenhf imer's brewery were seized and ordered destroyed. Speaking of the de struction by the Sheriff and assistants the Press gives this graphic description: The kegs were taken out doors and their contents poured upon the ground. But the large vessels were fixtures and could not be removed; so they were mashed and cut up in the cellai. The amber floor was knee deep there, one man says he got wet to the thighs. The liquor ran out oyer his door sill; and finally they came up town, got a pump and emptied the cellar in that way. But we hear that the freshet weakened the wall in one place and it caved in. The value of the vessels destroyed is quoted at $500; the beer was woi tb as much more. It is reported that the brewer will sue for damages in the Fed eral Courts. Men scooped up the beer in hats and drank it. To men had an old rusty watering pot,and stood shoul der to shoulder close, one sucking out of the spout and the other out of the top—a co-operative orgie, a joint stock revel, a copartnership of booze. The officers had hard work to prevent a car ousal. The beer ran down to the creek, and even the creek was full of suckers. Think of it— O I think of it, ye guz zlers of the amber "sea-foam." C.C.Z.

'Speaking of nitre-glycerine,' said Dr. Roberts, the oil torpedo man, to a group of legislators in Warren the oth er day, 'and its explosive properties, re mind? me of one incident of a thousand that I could relate regarding it. At the factory where the oil well torpedoes arc made wo strain the nitre-glycerine through the crown of an old felt hat, and when the hat has served its pur pose we destroy it One day some of the workmen, instead of destiny ing the hat, washed it thoroughly and treated it with alkalis in order to destroy the effect of tho nitro-glycerine. Then they laid it up on a shelf and forgot about it. Some two years afterward one of the men ran across the hat, and his curiosi ty was excited as to whether it would explode if struck a hard blow, lie placed it on ono of the iron arms that run out from the tinner's bench in the factory and struck it,while his compan ions looked ou in wonderment. He struck it twice without any result, but the third time it exploded,blew the iron through a brick wall, knocked the man down and broke both of his arms, and wrecked the interior of the tin shop.' —ln Ilenry & Johnson's Arnica and Oil Liniment is combined the curative properties of the different oils, with the healing qualities of Arnica.

A tramp sneaked up to the window of Colonel Merrill's kitchen,and taking off his remnant of a hat, said to Matil da Snowhall, who is blacker than tno ace of spades : "Fair lady, can't you give a poor but respectable man something to stay his stomach. Have you no pig for in stance ?" Matilda had both compassion and pie, and cutting the later in halves, gave one of them to the polite visitor, remarking that he was a gentleman, even if he was white. "Thauks." he responded, "May you retain your present beauty for a thous and years." "Dat's twice too much," said Matil da, blushing. "Well, if it's twice too much, fair lady, give me the other half of the pie to make us even." He got it. i nTHJITICIfor Lncratlve.
