Chesapeake Hack Sheeting. A Most Premising Season Suddenly Ended by the the Celd TTeutlicr. Havre de Grace coirespendeuee Xew Yerk Sun. The cold weather has ended the duck shoetiujj. The eldest sportsman cannot recall a year when ducks weie se numer ous in these waters as in the lirst month of the pi csent sheeting season. One firm of duckbiiieis in this place took in 2,000 pairs of the first day's sheeting, and 340 of these were brought down by one gun ner sheeting from a sink box. Xet less than 20.000 pairs ei ducks arc shipped from Havte de Grace every season by the regular dealers ; and when te these arc added the many thousands that arc scut away and carried away by amateur sports men, some notion may be formed of the extent of the annual slaughter in the vic;n ity of the famous celeiy beds. In fact, duck sheeting in this nuighboiheod is a recognized industry and there ate several well-to-de citizens of Havie de Grace who have attained a competence by their skill in biingiug down biids. The gunners gen- cially get $l.e0 a pair for canvas-backs flora the local dcalcis. The same ducks aic sold in Xew Yeik for 3 a pair, and sometimes even a higher pi ice is paid. Red heads, bi ing 80 cents a pair in tins maiket and black heads -10 cents. The local gunnets have a vciy gicat ad vantage ever the amateur spnitsnicn who come heie in the ducking season. The native duck killer, and especially one w he expects te cam enough in four months te keep him the i est of the year, is likely te paddle about ever the Hats in the summer, and te note whine the wild celery is spi out ing most luxmiantly. When the legal hunting time begins, he anchors his sink beat and puts out his deces near these spots, which he knew.s will be visited by the celeiy-tating canvas-backs. Fer soma unknown reason ducks aic mere plenty and ate easily killed en leugh, cold days; and being aware of this fact, the practical gunner puts in a day of successful shoot sheet ing while the amateur is contemplating the bleak weather fiem the windows of his lodgings. Ol course :i stranger has no op ep op peitunity of making preliminary surveys among the celeiy beds in the summer. If he is a geed shot, and has the patience te sit en the sheie and wait for the biids te come within range, he may biing down a couple of pahs of canvas-backs m a day. But in these days even the se called spot ts men want te go into the slaughtering bus iness, and when they come te Havre de Graee te kill ducks they generally hiie a sink beat and all the appurtenances, and go te weuk with as much cneigy as the resident cxpciis, who fellow duck shoot sheet ing for a living. The game ducks aie pietectcd by law tiuccdu's in the week dm ing the sheeting season, and thcic ate ether icstiictiens which tend te icprcss the zeal of such gun ners as cairy tee much of the commercial idea into their sport. Fer instance, a sink beat must net be ancheied within half a mile of either sheie. and the muidereus swivel gun which used te de se such fear ful execution has been banished from all boa's. It still fei ms a put of the aimi niciit of the masked battene. rninherc, but at long ranjre it is oempaiatively haini less. Sheeting at night Kalse piehibitcd. The speitsman, whose main purpose is te kill as many ducks as possible, hiics an outfit, which costs him fiem $20 te $'23 a day. Thisceusi,ts of an oulinaryrew beat, a sink box, thtcc or four 'dozen wooden decoy ducks, and two men, who de all the wet k except the sheeting. He should make an early stait and get te the ancheiiug place before sumKe. The two hi led assistants row the gunner and his trappings te the place selected for the day's sheeting, which, as ahcady stated, must be at least a half mile horn the sheie. The sink het is lifted from the beat and an anchor is dtopped fiem each end. It is a plain box, just large enough te held a man when King en his back. A beard, about u feet wide, ptejects at light angles fiem each side, which keeps the box alleat. These sidebeaids aic .sup plemented with canvas wings, which still fuither cnlaigc the lleating sutfaee. The box is ballasted, se that when the man is in it the wings will lie flat en the water ; the gunner is a little below the surface. The decoy ducks aic put out at the proper distance fiem the box, each being ancheied by tjing a stone te the leading stiiug and letting it drop te the bottom. All things having been prop prep eily ananged, the hiicd assistants low their beat JiOO or GOO yaids te the wind waul, while the sportsman, lying il.it en his back 1n the submerged box and sur rounded by h;s wooden decej s, awaits the coining of the ducks. Presently, as a great Heck passes overhead, a few deluded ones detach themselves from Jthe moving throng and dait down te claim acquaint ance with the decoys. If the man in the box is an cxpcit he will sheet one ei mmc birds with each barrel of his gun befeic they touch the water. The assistants who are supposed te be watching these proceedings from their beat, gather up the dead or wounded biids as they diep, while the gunner leleads his piece and prcpaics te deal with the next detachment. Should the speitsman get twenty pair of camas-backs the piecceds of the day's sheeting wi'l pay the expenses, pievidcd, of course, that he sells his game. A gunner can only become an expci t duck shooter by long practice. He may be a celebrated maiksman en laud, and yet be cntiicly unsuccessful when he sheets from a ic cumbent position in a lleating box which is constantly swajing with the swell of the tide. The experience of noted gun ners, sheeting under thc&e conditions, is often sufficiently meitifying. The vet eran duck shooter who brought down 3 10 biids en the 1st of Neiembci has been in the business all his life. Anether device for killing ducks is the sneak-beat. This is an ordinary beat, about 10 feet long, which is propelled by sculling. An ear is run out through the stern and is weikcd by a man who lies flat en the bottom of the beat. Seme fifty or sixty decoys ate put out near a celery bed, and the beat is then i owed 500 yards te the windwaid. An anchor with a buoy attached te the chain is thrown out, and the huutcis await the coming of the game. As seen as a bunch of ducks alight among the decoys the beat is detached fiem the anchor (the buoy being left te maik the place) and is sculled toward the fleck, the gunner lying with his face te the bow and both men keeping as close te the bottom as possible The ducks at first suppose that an empty beat is drifting tewaul them, and de net take the alarm until the tteachcreus ciaft is within gunshot. When they rise, the man in tjie bow of the beat blazes away and generally secures two ducks. As many as a bundled ducks hare been shot from a sneak-beat in one day. Seme of the amateur sportsmen spend as much money in the course of a season as would buy a cargo of canvas-backs. Twe splendidly equipped steam yachts, each costing some 830,000, wetc here be fore the ice put an end te navigation as well as te duck "hooting. The Mignon, belonging te Mr. Stickuey, of Philadel phia, is new ice bound at one of the coal piers. Her companion yacht, the Carrie, owned by 3Ir. Warmeugh, of the banking house of A. J. Diexel &Ce., moved away before the hard freezing set in and went te Petersburg. In addition te the steam yachts which come te Havre de Grace, there are manylXerth Carolina's, six for Hancock, and sailing yachts, with equally luxurious ap peintments. They carry row beats, sink oexes, decoy ducks and everything else that appertains te a ducking outfit. Judge Pratt, Mr. Pelheraus, and Mr. Osberne, of Xew Yerk city, have a fine sailing yacht, in which they cruise around the cclcry beds, anchoring at such places as premise speit. They employ resident experts te manage the details of the sheeting. Judge Gildersleevc, of Xew Yerk, is perhaps the best amateur duck shooter that visits these waters. He was here a week, in the early part of the season, and shot some 500 ducks, all which he sent te his fiiends. Anether Sert of Election. Ledger. Our local election being ever there is an oppeitunity te consider an important elec tion amendment te the constitution of the United States, piopesed in Cengiess by Senater Wallace, of Pennsylvania, en Fi iday last. The purpose of this measure is te abolish the useless electeial system for cheesing president and vice president, and substitute in its stead a direct vote of the people for the men of their choice. Each state is te be divided into districts equal in number te the whole number of representatives and Fcnateis the state has in Congi ess, and the candidate for presi dent and the candidate for vice president who has the greatest number of ballets in any district is te bs credited with one vote in the state count, which is te be ccitiiicd litst te ccitaiu designated state anthoii antheii tics, and then, after a canvass, all thedis trict votes of the state are te be ceitified te the speaker of the Heuse of Represen tatives at Washington. On a designated day these ceitilicatcs are te be opened by the speaker in the presence of the Senate and Heuse, antl the two houses are te count them and declare the result, the person having the greatest number of such distiict votes for each office te be declared e'ected This i au outline of the measure pre senting its mateiial points without going into details. The object of limiting the voting te distiicts is te give te minorities in every state an oppeitunity te have their due influence in the general result, in stead of being voiceless as they ate new or might continue te be under a general ticket system. This disti ict plan is net te be considered as a novelty, for both that plan and the election of president by direct vote of the people were piopescd in Ceuguss in the eailiest days, and have been again and again le-intreducedand debated from that time along te our own day by some of the foremost of our statesmen. Mr. Wal lace is tiavcling in the raniu line with such st itcsmen as Wilsen, of Pcnnsjlvania, in the Federal constitutional convention ; Livingstone, of Louisiana, Pickens and McDullic, of Seuth Carolina, Picket son, of Xew Jei Fey, Benten, of Misseuii, and Oliver P. Moiten, of Indiana, in Cengiess. The object and pmpasc of the amend ment are, therefore, sanctioned by high autheiity as well as light in themselves. But will the amendment eflfcefc its puipesc te jivc the new unrepresented minorities in states their due influence at presiden tial elections'.' In answer te this question some suggestions aie te be made which Senater Wallace may find weithy el con cen con sideiatien. The distiicting of states is subject te the process known as "gerry maudci ing;" that is, appoitiennicnt bills made by state legislatures are se fiamcd by the majority paity of eveiy Legislature as te give the majeiity paity an undue and unfair number of the distiicts. It sometimes happens that where the vetcis of a state are neaily equally divided in numbeis, the appoitiennicnt may be se made as te give te a sletrler majeiity the preponderance in twe-thiids or tlirce tlirce feuiths of the congressional districts into which the state is divided. Xcarly all the Legislatures will be at this foul work seen aftn the congressional apportionment bill is pissed. Such weik is confined te no one paity. They all de it when they get the chance. Ohie has been twice "gerry mandered"' within a few years by oppo site piities. Se if the presidential voting distiicts should be treated after the fashion of congressional distiicts, as they un questionably would 1 e, minorities would still be left without their due influence and weight cei responding te their numbeis at presidential elections. They would have some show, it is true a gie it deal mere, indeed, than they have new but, still, net what they arc entitled te, and what Seniter Wallace's amendment seeks te give them. Moreover the introduction of the distiict system into the amendment biings with it sundry cmbairassmcnts in the way of limiting the time within which changes in the districts shall be made and take effect that might weik very awk waidly in practice. These ate passed ever for the present. Te get rid of these, and te remedy thc manifest risks of inequality and unfair ness inseparable from the distiict system, the straight, clear path would be te count all the votes of all the states as if cast by one undivided community. But as there is but little chance that the smaller and least populous of the states will ever agree te that, we arc obliged te consider some ether plan, and here is one which the Larger suggests te Mr. Wallace and te Congress. His amendment might be changed se as te eidain substantially as fellows : On the fust Tuesday in November, 1884, and en the same day in eveiy tnnith year thereafter, the qualified citi.ens of each state shall vote by seciet ballet for a pres ident and vice president of the United States, at least one of whom shall net be an inhabitant of the same .state with the voter. Each Ftatc shall be entitled te a num ber of votes equal in number te the whole number of representatives and sen ators in Cengiess te which it is entitled at the time of the election for president and vice precident, and these shall be known as its electoral votes. The whole number of ballets cast in any . state by the qualified citizens thereof for president and vice president shall be added together and the sum shall be divided by the number of electoral votes te which the state is entitled ; and the quotient shall be the ratio for one electeial vote for said state ; the number of ballets cast for each poison for president and vice president shall be divided by said ratio, and the per son for whom said ballets arc cast shall be entitled te one electoral vote for every whole number in the resulting quotient, casting out fractions; and whenever any electoral vote or votes te which the state is entitled might remain unrepresented by reason of fractional remainders the elec elec eoial vote se remaining shall be added te the electoral votes of the persons having the greatest number of ballets in the state for president and for vice president respec tively. This, of course, is te be considered as only a reug-li (halt, but the prepositions it contains, if put into the constitution, would give expression te the will of the mineiitics in far mere just proportion than the district system limited by the legis lative gerrymander. Under its operation Xew Jersey's vote at the last election would have been counted five for Hancock, and four for Garfield ; Delaware's would have been counted two for Hancock, and one for Garfield ; Pennsylvania's sixteen for Garfield, and thirteen for Hancock ; - 1 four for Garfield ; and se en in due pre- portions in all the states. Such a method of voting would go far towards obliter ating "solid" sections. Seuth, Xerth, West and East. A Broken Hearted De?. A remarkable story of a deg that died of a broken heart is told by Dr. Martin, of Atlanta, Ga. W. II. Harvili, the father-in-law of Dr. Martin, who died recently at a ripe old age, was the owner of a very fine bulldejr. by name Ponte. "Fer mouths before his death," says Dr. Martin, this deg was his constant companieu. There was something almost human in the devo tion of the deg te his master, and as a natural consequence, the master was par ticulaily fend of his deg. The daily move ments of the old gentleman for a long time befeic his last sickness were as regular as these of a clock, and Ponte followed him as smely a his very shadow. Whcu the old man died, Ponte took his place by the coffin, and did net budge until it was taken liem the room, lhcn he get up and fol lowed it closely te theheaise, and followed the Iic;ume te the crave. Ponte came back te the heuee a changed deg. Every night he lay upon his nig in the perch and moaned pitceusly all night long. Every day found him making the rounds just as he used de before the old man died. I tempted him with the choicest meat, but he refused te cat. I elfcied him the warm est milk ; he refused te d. ink. He went about with his head dewi., the very pic ture of sonew. He dwindled away almost te a skeleton. One day, about five weeks after the old man died, Ponte came drag ging his lank and weak body down the street. When he get by the fence thcic stepped and sank upon the gieuud. I ran te him and lilting him in mv arms, carried him into the yaid, for he was dead." Treed by Peccaries. Mr. Failer, the colonial secretary of the Honduras, says the Louden Telegraplt, while expleiing the inteiier of the colony, was evei taken by a drove of peccaries and was compelled te sci amble up a tree, diepping his lillc in the performance. The whole pack gathered mound his perch, grunting "and sharpening their tusks. "Xew the peccary is net only ferocious, but patient, and lather than let an object of its anger escape, will wait about for days , se that the secretary had before him only two courses cither te remain where he was until he diepped down among the swine from sheer exhausted and hunger, or else te commit suicide at once by coming down te be eaten there and then. While he was in this dilemma, however, what should ceme along and looking out for supper, tee but a jaguar. Xcvcr was beast of prey se opportune, for the juguarhasa paiticular fondness ler wild perk and the pecarries knew it, for no sooner did they see the great lttddy head tin ust out tlueugh the bushes than they belted helter-skelter, fenrcttinjr, in their anxiety te save their own bacon, the meal they wcic themselves leaving up the tiec. The jaguar was off after the swine with admirable prompti tude, and the secretary, finding the "coast clear, came down, reflecting, as he walked tewaul the camp upon the admirable ar rangments of nature, which having made recarrics te cat colonial secretaries, pro vided al. jaguars te cat the pecanies.
