Uriels l'omeroy tells tlio lollowing :
Another time we were tiavcling on
grounds wc lmJ no ris;l.t to tramp over.
The only excuse was like that til milita
ry ncccNity it was butter fishiug '.hr'o
tho farms where the trout haJ been pre
tcrveil than tho open lots where all
could fi-h.
It wns early morning. RTe had risen
nt three, r'uldon ten miles, and struck
the creek ns tho trout were ready for
breakfast. Looking carefully for a shel
tered place to hiteh our horses, we slyly
Crept on behind iences, etc., till we
reached tho part ot the stream not gen"
crully fished. A farm bouse stood a
quarter of a mile away. We saw the
luiiming smoke curling lightly lrom a
stove-pipe saw a .nan and two boys
come out to do chores saw two women
busy about the door, and the ferocious
Lull-dog wandering about tho yard.
Jf ever we Jislied closo it was then.
INot a whisper to disturb tha birds, or
the owner of the laud. We crawled
through the grass dodged behind
clumps ol alders, and lifting large speck.
led beauties ont of tho water till our
basket was full.
This was the time to havo gone ; but
the trout were so large aud bit so readily,
that wc could not withstand the temp
tation, so wo decided to string aud hide
what we had, and take another basket
ful. So at it wo went. Jso sooocr
would the hook touch the water than we
Lad a trout. Wo forgot tho house, the
man, tho boys end the dog !
(Suddenly there was a rushing thr'o
an oat Geld, as if a mad bull were com
ing ! Wc looked toward the house, aud
saw tho farmer and his two boys on the
fence, tho women in the door, and tin.
bull.uog bounding toward us. Wc saw
it all we had been discovered. The
well-trained dog had been sent to hunt
us out, and, ns the matter nppeared, it
was sale to bet he was doing that thing
right lively.
To outrun a dog waa not to bo thought
of. There was no time to lose. Ho
cleared a fence, came for us just as we
reached a front scat on a limb above his
reach.
Here was a precious go! A vicious
bull-dog under tho tiec, and a farmer
and two big boys ready to move down
tipen our works. It was fight, foot race
or fangs !
The farmer yelled to his dog "Watch
him, Tige !"
Tige proposed to do that little thing,
aud keeping his eje on u;i, seated him
self under tho tree.
Then spoke this ugly farmer man
' Just hold on thnr, stranger, till we get
breakfast; theu we'll come and see you !
It you nrc in a hurry, however, you can
go now 1 Watch him, Ti;;e !"
We surmised trouble uito much;
for twice had the bold man of bull -dogs
and ngiiculturc elegantly wholloped in
nocent touii.sts for being seen on his
suburban prcmi.-cs. His reputation as
a peace man was not good; and there
tirose a large heart to our throat !
Time is the essence of contracts, and
the saving ordinance for those in trou
ble. We bad a stout liuo in our coat
pocket and a largo hook intended for
rock bass if wc failed to take trout. And,
us good luek would havo it, wo had a
nice sandwich aud a piece of boiled
corned bed in our other pocket.
Wc called tho dog pet names, but be
wasn't on it ! Then wc tried to move
down when he'd move up! At hut
we trebled our bass line, fastened the
great limerick to it, baited it with '.he
corned beef, tied the end of tho line to
a limb, aud angled for dog !
Tigo was in appetite. He smelt of
the beef; it was very nice, lie swallow,
cd it and sat still with his eyes on us
for more, but with no friendly look
beaming lroiu his couoteuaueo. Not
any !
When we pulled gently on the line
it was fast ! Tige yanked and pulled,
but 'twas no use ! The atteution of the
canine was diverted from us, his business
was being doue by another line !
We quickly slid down the tree com.
ing near blistering our back doing ii
seized the basket and pole, and straight
way went thence somewhat lively.
We found our string of fish, and
reached the buggy aud a commanding
pot in the road, in timo to see the stur
dy yeoman trove forth.
Wo saw him and his cohort?, male
ond female, move t lowly, as if in no haste,
We saw them look up the tree. Wo
saw in auxious group engaged abou.'
the dog. We came quickly home, and
kindly left the bass line and hook to the
farmer.

A Parisian Scandal. A most
extraordinary trial is jus now going on
hero. The Schumachers, man and wife,
sue their daughter, the Maniuis d'Or
valt, far a petition atimetitriire, to keep
them frotu starving. There seems little
to choose betweeu the different actors in
this dark drama. The evidence is most
contradictory, and tho whole affair is a
dismal picture of wickedness and de
pravity. Tho Sehumaekers live in a
hovel ; the father is a cab-driver, while
his wife acts the part of a groom, and
cleans out the stables. They declare
themselves so poor and indebted, that
they cannot even procure tho necessa
ries of lilo. Their daughter lives in
tho ltuo St. llooorc, in a sumptuous
apartment servants, carriages, horses,
and everything she can desire. At the
age of fifteen her parents thrust her out
doors. In a short time her beauty had
won for her the attention of a host of
rich and noble admirers; she became
quite a la mode, una was well knowu in
certain questionable society by the uame
of Madame de Labruycre, uutil she was
thirty-sis years old, when she married
tho Marquis d'Oi vault, Counte de lleau
regard and Maubreuil, briugiug him a
fortune of no less than a million of
francs, besides furniture, jewels and car.
riages. Tho Marquis, who, at tho age
of 82, gave his ancient name, and in re
turn secured a life of luxury, had run
through an astonishing career. Soldier
under the First Empire, he became Cap
tain, and obtained tho cross ot the Le
gion of Honor. On the day of tho en
try of the allied armies into Paris, he
was scon galloping with his cross tied
to his horse's tail, and gained liirnsclt
considerable popularity by attaehiug a
a cord around tho neck of the statue of
Napoleon I. Later he managed to get
himself condemned to five years' impris
onment ; but this he escaped by flying
to England. Some years after he rc
turned to France ; aud, one day, when
a grand ceremony was being performed
at (he Cathedral at St. Dennis, ho walk.
ed up to the Talleyrand, and, before the
King and all the Court, struck him to
the "round an act for which he was
again joudemued to five years' impris
onment. Such is the man who is now
charged with sbetting his wife's cruelty
toward her father and mother. On the
other hand, it appears that the parents,
whose poor s!yle of living is ascribed to
Jicre avarice, are said to have had re.
course to the most violent and disgrace
ful means to obtain money. Out of
this complicated story of wickeducss
and depravity. I gather that the true
reason of the anger and hatred of the
family Schuiackcr is, that the Marquis
and Marquise have constituted a legiti
mate child of the lady heir to their
name and property. How the Court
will decide in such a difficult and tang
led case wil not be known for a few days.

Mistook t tiE Article. A young
lady stepped into one of the streei cars
the other day, and dropped her hand
kerchief upon a vacant scut, as much as
to say ' taken," whilst slio advanced to
tho other etd of tho car to deposit her
fare. Meantime a nicely dressed young
man jumped in and sat down on the
handkerchief without observing it. The
young lady, after paying her fare, turn
cd back, discovered to her chagrin her
scat was occupied, and sat down oppo
site, ladies making room foi ber. De
siring not to lose her handkerchief, she
looked intently toward the place where
she had left it, hesitating whether to
ask for it or put- Discovering tbe di
re :tion of her looks, all eyes on the op
posite side of tho car were soon bent on
the young man. Finding himself tho
object of so much attentiou, he himself
looked and discovered to his horror
something whito on which ho sat, the
end peeping out. He mistook its
character. To cover it with his hand,
and to tuck it nicely uway, was the woik
of a few momeuts. None in the car tut
tho young lady knew that the some
thing white" wa' a handkerchief, and
hesitating still more to atk him, sLe lost
it. Fat, aud Union,
