CJt-n. IV:i!!n Iliji-himan. Lieut. Col. E. C. Fenner an Iajr II rry Howard, tow Mayor of lieloxi, Miss., started from that place in the yacht of Major Ilowarl fir sriip Island on a fishing ex pedni in. Fait northeast of that island In about eight fathoms of water, lies the wieok of the Josephine, now marked by a lHoy. Although the vessel proper has bee& almot entirely covered with sand, by carfful souuding ihe location of the walking beam may r 3 ound. Oa an choring ne.r the spot a dty of pood fiihing is i ! u red the a-.iIer. The wrecked steamer h is formed a barrier or Rhelrer. about which the fish seem to gather, and at certain tides, no matter what other ondltloiia imy prevail, the abundinc of llih u.ikea it almost drud;iry to attend the lines. Xo sooner hasth- hock reached the required depth than it is st-it d hy a large and voracious Cab. g-ner.u'y a red smrr r, which is a gallant firmer. It was in Aujrust that the flrhernjen aonve mu tinned, accompanied by two siKors. in a yawl, nehired over the wreck of the Jc "phina. 'ol. Fenner, who h is a predilection for taking sharks of lari si7 . had with him, as nsnal. an inch line, tvn or fifteen fathoms in Ip'ipr'h fq'i'pped with a took of sui'able s z ? tor r,hn-k?. This wa3 baited with a puve of silt p-.irk' and thrown nvrr tmd, where it remained nudwtuited for a loifr titn. The lino was c?cnred to on- of the thwarts of the t it.

A Crow Coort. I never would bave believed stories toid about crow justice bad I not attend ed their "court," sajs a writer in the . Louis JVt-I;)'ic.. One day I was riding on the public road two miles north of Hamlin. I bad noticed great flocks of crows fljing about me, and when nearing a cottonwool grove in making a tarn to the right I saw hund reds or them perched la the trees in olid lines to the end of tbe rows. I bad read somewhere that crows were well- governed birds, and when I saw tbla fine looking body" I judged that it sat tbere to give trial to an offender of some sort. I stopped my horse, half fearing the crafty birds would fly adjourn court, or continue the case. To my de light no attention was paid to me. I was just io time to hear and see all that was done. From a tree at the head of the row where ten crows sat tbere came sucb load and rapid cawing as I r ever before beard from so few throats, and every now and then all tbe flock joined In making the noi9o. and tbe cborns thus furnished was all that could have been a ked if more noise was de sired. After two or three minutes of thia racket a silent rest was taken. which was broken by a single crow, who made a little ta'k in tbe crow dialect, followed quickly by others. Things became more dignified, and my Interest is the proceedings was so intense that, when a fine, fat bird sub mit' ed a few remarks and was applaud ed by general cawing from every bird present, I eoald scarcely keep from clapping my bands. Suddenly twelve crows flew down the line twice and back, and all was still as tbey did so. I was amused and startled. This miftbt be a jury of crows on parade I And I believe it was. Af ter two or three crows bad again spoken the twelve fleW down tbe lines once more, bat tbie time tbere were fierce caws from every crow in answer to caws from tbe twelve. My fancy explained : The jnry was seeking Its verdict in public opinion. and the excited crows like revolution ary tnobe, demanded blood. Back to their perches for the last time flew the crows, and again silence fell not nn like the abrupt bush of court-room whispers ?as the prisoner steps forward to learn tbe worst. Bat I coa'd distinguish no criminal. As I looked for tbe poor fellow tbere was a great, angry caw from every crow, and all flew to tbe center of the line, where, as I live, tbey tore thiee of their kind In shreds, leaving oaly a few feathers to float upward and out of sight as they separated and noiselessly flew away, seemingly satisfied with what tbey had done. Sherman as a Little Bay. speaKing or general bherman re minds one of a story told by a member of the family concerning the way in which tbe hero, when a youngster, came to be a member of the family of Thomas Ewing. Tbere was a distant relationship be tween tbe two families, and when Ex- Governor Ewing heard at his home in Lancaster, O., of tbe death of the father of the Sherman family, he at once bail bis carriage brought up and drove across tbe country to whirs the Sbermsos lived. Tbere was a big fam ily of children, and they were very poor. so after consultation wilb the widow and tbe eldest daughter It was agreed that Mr. Ewing should take one of tbe boys all little fellows borne with him for tbe present uotll the family fortunes seemed more certain. So th three elders walked out into the yard when half a dozen of tbeseua breeched morsels of humanity," as Stevenson woold call them, were tumbling and playing about in tbe grass. . 'Well, which one of 'em shall I take." asked the " Ex-Governor, Hbey all look alike to me." The tearful mother was unable to respond, but tbe daughter, with practial foresight, said snatching one of the gingham skirted youngsters np in her arms and holding blm out ; "Well, Mr. Ewing. If you most take any take ',Cump,,"cacse he's tbe smartest." "All right, then. ,'Cump" It is." said tbe Governor, aking tbe child in bis arms and placing blm in the ears rlage. "Camp" went borne with Mr. Ewing, was placed with his own boys, educated with them, and finally married one of tbe daughters. And Governor Ewing never ceased to congratulate himself on the chance that led him to 'take Camp" .caase be was tbe smartest." The First Ice la India. When one of the first importations of Ice from America arrived in India it was moat amusing to see the anxiety with whichlit was sought after. The deposits were only open for a short time beforeunrie, wbeo crowds of coolies were In l attendance to carry oft tbe portions required by their employeis ; these portions were Immediately enveU oped in thick blankets and Inclosed in baskets, wblch'were carried off with all speed ; but a very considerable quantity invariably dissolved before they could reach their respective destlnatons, 8as the New York Ledger. Two or three natives crowding around a basket which bad just arrived, were eager to touch the novelty; but immediately on feeling its extreme coldness they ran awav, exclaiming that it was "burra gurram" very hot. A child, too,cried violently, and told his mamma that the glass had burnt bis fingers.'' It was not a little surprising, on sev eral occasions, to see tbe ice brought to the table as tbe ereatest possibly luxury. and handed around te persons to mix with tbeir wine, which although cooled with saltpetre and glauber salts, bad not attained a much lower temperature than that of new milk. The ice In question was taken oat to India as a means of preserving a large quantity of American apples In good condition for the Calcutta market, when the ice unexpectedly proved a more lu crative fcpeciea of merchandise than the fruit. Tbe Portuguese government bas reduced the duty on foreign wheat to 16 rein per kilogramme. RHEUSSATISKi Tin Dw' . I. - ry: ' -' " '" n '.ota- Irj it im- 1 - Vi- "; r.-t .,.- .

" Xnmbpre'l among various experien ces related hj practical cultivators ;s the followirjjr, from a New York paper correspondent : "I am satifld that my crop of pota toes is materially reduced whenever I bave planted badly sprouted seed. It U quite reasonable to believe that tubers that bave exbsutted a portion of tbeir vitality and substance iu a warm cellar before tbey are planted cannot be as efficient in tbe production of a new crop as tbey would be if they bad been stored in a cool place where tbe sprout ine would .not bave. occurred. Of course the early and tbe late varieties diaVr in thia particular, but wherever It occurs, it can hardly be otherwise than that sucb potatoes become greatly depreciated for seed. "I snow very many scarcely give this a thought, but if tbey will retard tbe germination of their seed potatoes by keeping them ia a place cool enough to prevent it until planting time, tbey will bave an earlier and mtre vigorous growth and a larger crop. We know that potatoes grown in Maine and nor; h- -ern sections are firmer and superior to. those raised further south, and no doubt one of the reasons is that their seed, is unsproated. from having been kept ia a colder climate until tbeir naturally late Spriog before it is put Into tbe ground. - When seed potatoes from the east and north are received by mer chants here for sale in the Sprinc, they show none of the long sprouts that are so common on those we keep ourselves." - Cats That Catch FUh. Nicholas Long is a ' telegraph opera tor in the tower like station a', tbe West Jersey and Atlantic City railroad cross ing. lie is surrounded by miles of salt meadows, and has no human socio-. ty. Some time ago a large cat c roe Bed tbe meadows and sought the tower." Long welcomed her warmly. Situated as be is, she would bave been hospitably received had she been a pole cat instead of a household tabby. In a few days she presented him with three lively kittens, and he proceeded to make provision for tbe whole family. : With a small band net be caught scores of little fish ia the shallow ponds that dot the meadows, snd, putting them into a tab. he supplied them to the cai freth every day. But as tbe kittens . grew toward ; maturity they wanted mere food, and their host was no able to catch enough fish to satisfy them. ' For a week the mother brooded over this difficulty, and then she found a remedy for it. Like a father who la boriously studies Greek in order that he may teach his eon to read Homrr, she first sceus'omed herself to eo'd baths and then led or pushed the kit. tens into th water. Now the tub hae been returned to its old place under tbe water spout, and the four cats do tbeir own fishing. . Tbey are very ex pert anglers, and spend hours every d;iy la tbe frigid ponds capturing tbeir prey with elawa and teeth. 27: . A Sew Use for Inserts. Th obs of the IcsecTs for sport bas hitherto beeu coofined to more or less soeoeaaful imitations of their bodies and wing. We do not know that they have bad any serious industrial purpose, un less the weevils of the ship-biscuit and the mites of tbe cheese mav be counted. What work they did ia tbe economy of nature, as of beee carrying pollen anil fliee infections matter, Darwanism has ufflcientlv advertised. But Lord Wal singham announces another departure ti the Entomological Society, which is not new among tbe vertebrates, though it ia to tbe insects. We are familiar enough with tbe idea ol cats catching mice, terriers worrying rats, hounds de vouring foxes, and being set aside for thai purpose. As yet we have not suc ceeded In introducing a bine bottle who could chase away, the smaller flies, or a perambulating wood-worm who could. silence tbe sounds of the death-watch. But tbere is still hope. Ten thousand parasites were conveyed from Australia and put spon the backs of tbe Califor nian scale Insects, which had been eat ing up all the oraDge trees. The latter were worried to deatb ; tbe oranges were saved, and the. immigrants will probably be sent into the Chinese quar ter of San : Francisco, in the hope of achieving similar results. Whole l'otatoes for Seed. In order to determine whether it will pay to nse wbele potatoes or not, says the Lr Stoci Indicator, take a plot of ground of as even fertility as possible, prepare all in a good tilth, plant halt of it, twenty, thirty or forty hilla, using a good, medium-sized potato in each bill. In tbe other bait cut to one or two eyes or whichever plan you have been in the habit of adapting. When the vines in the hills where the whola potatoes have ' been used show well above grouud, thin out ao as not to leave more than three vines, and if tbe soil is not reasonably rich, leave only two. Give both plots as nearly as possible tbe same cultiva tion throughout, and then In harvesting 1 keep each lot separate and consider the quality of tbe product. A test of this kind made carefully will be the beat argument for or , against the plan. It will cos: but little and will be more satisfactory than any report of otbere. Me. Boddy, ot Moigau county. 111., practices a successful suetbod of rid ding sheep of grub in the head. He feeds them shelled corn on a bain floor, liberally strewn with air-slacked lime. The sheep in eating fill their noses wJa the lime, which causes violent sneezing, thus expelling the grub. In a few mo ments tbe floor will be covered with grubs, which' should " be destroyed.
