A Irlh Rttiry From Kanily Hook,
Eols aro cheap on Hnmly I look penin
irnlu just now. On last Weilnesilay, aft
er a terrilii; gale, old Johnnie Collins, a
clam iliggerof NavefinU Highlnmls, went
tlown to tho Ix-aoh to seo if any crabs
hail been washcil np. As ho came to
high water mark ho observed thnt tbe
eanil was fairly alive with oels. Tlicy
vurioil in length from 3 inches to 2 feet
nil were rilver eels.
Scattered among them were young
fresh water perch. The perch were dead,
bnt the eels were very tnnch alive. Ho
wont back to the village and told what
lie had found, aud the villagers catno
down to the beach with baskets and boxes
and barrels. After they had filled all
their receptacles the beach was still
covered with eels. They went back and
emptied their loads and rotnrned and got
more loads, bnt they didn't succeed in
making any noticeable reduction in the
number of tho eels. A number of men
got more than 100 poundB each.
Seabright and other villages on the
Sandy Hook peninsula also got a largo
numlier of tho fish.
Peoplo are at a loss to understand how
tho eels and fish came to bo on tho
beach. Both the perch and the silver
eels are fresh water fish and abound in
tho Shrewsbury river. Never before
havo they been known to be found on
the Mabcaeh. New York Sun.

Conccminu crinoline the following ex
tract from tho Dundee (Scotland) Adver
tiser, Jan. 5, 1700, has been un
earthed: "Mr. Isaac Bickerstatfo, cen
sor of Great Britain, sitting in tho court
tf judicature, had crinoline brought in
and hoisted by a pulley to the roof of tho
ball, wbero it formed a very splendid
and amplo canopy over onr heads and
covered tho wnole court of judicature
with a kind of silken rotunda, in its
form not nnliko the cupola of St. Pnnl's.
On inquiring for the person belonging to
the petticoat Mr. Bickerstaffo, to Ills
great surprise, was directed to a very
pretty young damsel. "My pretty maid,'
he said, 'do you own yourself to have
been tho inhabitant of tho garment bo
fore ns?"
"The young lady who wore this hoop
confessed that sho did not like it, and
that she kept ont of it as long as she
conld and till sho began to appear little
in the eyes of all her acquaintances and
said sho T.-onhl be very glad to see an
example made of it. History does not
go on to relate i-i what manner the hoop
was censured. 1 nt the young lady, for
her uioilcsiy aud amiability and some
what for her ood looks, received great
praise,"

Of all gewalogical curiosities the one
ipet forth below is probably tho oddest
a singular piece of reasoning to prove
that a man maybe his own grandfather!
Here it is: There was a widow (Anne)
and her daughter (Jane) and a man
(George) and his son (Henry). This wid
ow married tho son, and the daughter
married the father. Tho widow was
therefore mother (in law) to her hus
band's father and grand:tiiot'ior to her
own husband. By this husband sho bail
a son (David), to whom she was of course
(Treat-grandmother. Now, tho Ron of n
groat-grandmother must lie grandfather
or grandunclo to tho person to whom
his mother was or is great-grandmother,
but in this instanco Anno was great
grandniotlier to him (David), therefore
David conld not bo other than his own

Not much has been heard of Berry
Wall of late, but he is very much in evi
dence in Wall street, where his talents,
which aro of no mean order, are being
guided in one of tho largest brokerage
houses. Ha till displays his old charm
of dress, although his waistcoats are not
so stunning as they used to lie, and he
only changes his clothes once a day now.
He is really very well informed in ir
dustrial securities, aud one morning
lately ho sent a group f brokers ink
convulsions of laughter when he was up
pealed to by mi tqicrntor to go into a lit
tlo specula! inn in one of those stocks
Berry Wall straightened up, looked
sternly ut tbo mini who dared make thil
proposition 41ml then h-ahl, "I have beet
sweetened w-itu Sugar, I havo been stupe
fled with Gas, a few weeks ago I win
strangled with Cordage, and I have beet
paralysed villi Whisky, and if you sup
poso (hero is anything left of mo for (nr
ther experience of this sort you know mi
hotter than 1 do myself."
And there was quite us much of truth
as there was of sarcastic humor in thi.
comment, and tlio exiTience has not
been peculiarly that of Berry Wall. SonK
of the brokers think that tho time is com

Saving For the Government-
Tho fervor of economy which recently
agitated congress recalls an incident ol
tho government printing offlco which oc
curred during tho Rounds administra
tion. A chief of u division in that hi
workshop had had a good deal of difll
culty in getting requisitions for supplies
filled. The amount of lead pencils ht
had called for had been criticised as ex
cessive, and ho put lti.i wits to work t"
doviso ways anil means to avoid clerki
carrying away thoso useful articles. He
made a rnlo that a clork should be issued
but one pencil at a time and that h(
should return the stump of his old pen
cil upon receiving a new or.e. Thin pro
cess was continued during a couplo ol
years.
It nover seemed to occur to tho chip!
that a clerk could gather in stumps ol
pencils from bis friends, if ha were in
cliued to cheat tho office, and tho method
was regarded by its promoter as an evi
dence of tho m.issivcness of bis brain,
Finally, when his successor was np
pointed, among the effects of the offic
turned over to him wore two good sized
; boxes of stumps of pencils, each stum
! averaging legs than an inch in length.
I The curious collection took np a good
' deal of room, and the new chief lost but
little time in Bending it out of the oftlct
and in taking away tbe economical safe
I guard. Exchange. , . .

Again the patient may really liko be

but (hero his interest ends.
The theory nf advertisement, nf profit
to accrue from a little moro of personal
notoriety, is n blunder. The public nf
this kind cares to know that an author
squints, weighs U stone 10 nr has a
broken rose, nr uses a thick handled
pen; but ns to what ho writes with that
lien this kind of pnblio is serenely in
different. Where, then, is the necessity
I for admitting the interviewer? Neces

It. may be objected that, although Gib
rnltar might be useless to us as against
Spain, it would still, in wartime, bo use
ful to ns as against nny other power. It
certainly might be useful to a very mod
ified extent. It is nevertheless a matter
of notoriety that Spain ardently desires
tn regiun possession of thf. fortress, and
it is scarcely conceivable that, unless wo
wero actually fighting for the protection
of Spanish interests, Spain would remain
rigidly neutral while another power was
attempting to expel ns from tho rock.
In order to secure the more or less ac
tive co-oieration of Spain tho other pow
er would merely havo to givo some se
cret plcilgo that, having once gained
possession of Gibraltar, she would hand
it over without charge to its ancient
owners. France, there is no doubt,
would, with things standing an they do
at present, lie very glad to seo Spain
take our place there, and though Italy
might not like it. sho would not, spend a

Mho itlltl Wolf Klirprlttrcl.
A hunter and a wolf hud an interesting
mutual surprise party to themselves in
tho hills near Helena a few days ago.
The hunter, arrayed in a heavy wolfskin
overcoat, fur side outward, was exam
ining some traps set tho previous night.
He was stooping over one, rearranging
the bait, when there was a fierce growl,
and a heavy weight fell suddenly on his
buck, so that ho barely missed lieing
caught in his own trap. He managed to
shake himself free, and recovering his
feet found faring him a full grown buf
falo wolf. The wolf seemed qnito as
much surprised ns tho hunter, and they
looked nt eiuih other somo seconds lo
fore tho fight, which ended in the death
! ef tho wolf, began. Tho brute evidently
was fooled by the coat anil the hunter's
stooping position and mistook him for
another wolf. Big Horn Comity Rustler.
