An Excellent Fish Story.
THE New York &'un eayg that ex-Po-Hce
Justice John Bcott upends k few
days every summer with hla friend Fer
dlnantl LeClero, In Mllford, Pike county
Pa. IIo returned to New York a few
days ago from this season's visit, and as
on other occBPloiis.had some remarkable
experiences to relate when he reached
home. :
"I don't think I can ever look at a
mink muff again without shedding
tears," says the judge. " A party of ua
was camped twenty miles from Mllford,
In the wilderness. Our, tent was pitch
ed near a trout stream. We went for
trout and woodcock. We had terribly
bad luck, although some of the fellows
with me were about the best sporting
ducks In the country. One day I stayed
In camp while the others went fishing
and hunting. I was stretched out on
the grass In front of the tent, when I
saw an animal stick Its head up out of
the creek. It looked around cautiously
and then crawled up the bank. It was
a mluk, and a steel trap was fast to one
of its fore legs. I raised up and the
mink dragged Itself rlht towards me.
It stopped every few seconds, laid Its
head fiat on the ground, and looked at
me with the most pitiful look I ever
saw. I flf Bt thought I'd shoot the ani
mal, but I changed my mind as I want
ed to know what its strange actions
meant. The mink crept up to within
two feet of me, and turning over on its
back held up the paw that had the trap
on it. There was no need of it saying a
word if it could, for the action said as
plain as words, " Please, now, take this
trap off won't you V" You can bet that
in less time than it takes to tell it, I had
that mink free from its cruel incum
brance. Its eyes Epoke volumes of
thanks and it limped back to the creek
and disappeared.
" The incident slipped my. mind in a
short time. The boys came in late in
the afternoon. They had about a dozen
little trout and three woodcocks. There
wasn't enough to make a smell in the
frying-pan. We made up our minds
all the trout we'd have for breakfast
would be a hunk of salt pork. We
turned in that night all in low spirits
determined to go home the next day.
" I got up early In the morning to get
a piece of sunrise in the mountain that
I had read so much about. There was
a big fiat rock on the outside of the tent,
near the entrance. When I stepped out
and my eyes fell on the rock, I was
startled and no mistake. The fact of
the matter is,we were all afraid of rattle
snakes, and bad with us a festive demi
john of Pike county antidote, which we
had now and then tested, and when I
saw on that rock as plain as day, a pile
of the biggest trout I ever set my eyes
on, I thought maybe my nerves were a
little off. I went back and woke up
Baltus Weslbrook and asked him to
come out and see if there wasn't a bear
track along the edge of the creek.
Thinks I, if Baltus don't Bee them fish
I strikes in for Milford and a doctor.
When Baltus stepped out of the tent the
first thing he saw. was the fish on the
rock. He jumped about ten feet and
fairly yelled : , . i ,
" Trout, by the living Jingo 1 Where
did you catch 'em Judge ?"
" I was saved, but where the trout
came from was the mystery. I suggest
ed Providence, but happened to remem
ber the section of the country we were
In, and knew that couldn't be. There
wasn't one of the trout that weighed
less than a pound. We didn't let our
speculation as to the source of their sup
ply interfere with our appetites, and
there was no salt pork fried that morn
ing. The episode raised our spirits and
we concluded to stay another day. We
had good luck gunning that day, and
when we found another pile of big trout
on the rock next morning we made up
our minds that some bark peelers to
whom we had given supplies a . day or
two before were repaying u,s with theBe
delicious surprises. But I made up my
mind that I would find out for certain.
Bo that night after the rest had gone , to
Bleep, I crawled up to the door of the
hut and peered out. It was a bright
mpoullght night, and I could see almost
as well as if it was day. About mid
night, I Baw something black emerge
from the creek. It came stealthily to
wards the tent. It was a small animal,
and as it came near the tent I saw it was
a mink, and, that it limped. Iu its
mouth was a large trout, which it depos
ited on the rock and then limped back
to the creek. Everything was as plain
as double six to me now. The mink I
had rescued from the trap was showing
its gratitude by catching the largest trout
it could find in the creek, and plaoi ng
them at my disposal.
" I told the boys the next morning.
Baltus Westbrook thought it was very
kind of the mink. Sheriff Kldgeway
Bald that it was no more than the mink
ought to do, and that if it had done any.
thing less lie wouui nave bad a very
poor opinion of it.
"That day we concluded to break
camp and go home. One of the party
had taken a young dog out with him to
give him some training on woodcock.
At the first fire of the gun the dog had
made for another part of the country,
and we never saw or heard, of him
again. Wheu we packed up our things
we couldn't find the dog's chain and
collar it was fastened to, and we started
without it. I was walking out of the
woods behind the wagon. We hadn't
got more than a hundred yards away
from camp when I heard a noise behind
me. I looked back. There was that
mink limping at my heels. He had the
collar about his neck, and when I turn
ed around, he raised up on his hind feet
and held the chain up to me with his
fore paws. That mink was bo blame
grateful to me that he wanted me to
take him home with me. It touched
me to the heart. I took him in, but
poor fellow, the trap had injured him so
badly that tie died of lock-jaw."
CHILDREN WHO LEARNED A LESSON.
CHILDREN who try to set themselves
up against a stepmother sometimes
get a set back that they deserve, and
which ought to be of use as a lesson to
others. ,
In New York, two years ago there
died Danled Berrien, who had accumu
lated a little fortune at his . trade of
brush-making. . Having been a widower
for some years with two children, he
married again a step that the young
Berriens resented as an injury to them
selves. They made it so warm for the
stepmother that their father turned
them out of his house a proceeding
that so astonished them that they insti
tuted legal proceedings to be reinstated
a ridiculous measure that resulted in
failure, and in the grave displeasure of
their father. After the demise of the
second spouse, Berrien made his home
with the family of Mrs. Steele, on Sta
ten Island. There he died, and left all
his money (thirty thousand dollars) to
the Steele children, who were not of his
kin, The young Berriens were furious
over this disposition of their father's
funds, and entered upon a contest of his
will, which ended lately by the bequest
being decided legal and binding. The
main point made by the Berriens was
that their father was of intemperate
habits, and that bis indulgence in spirit
uous liquors incapacitated him from
making a will. Surrogate Calvin over
ruled this objection in his decision , say
ing: " Drunkenness does not of neces
sity invalidate a will. The mere fact
that a man is a habitual drunkard, and
non compos In his drunken fits, is not
enough to set aside a will executed in his
sober Intervals. Taking the entire tes
timony as to his conduct and conversa
tion when sober, about the time of the
execution of the will, I am of the opin
ion that the Instrument was duly execu
ted according to the requirements of the
statutes of this State for the testamen
tary disposition of real and personal
property by the decedent when he was
of Bound and disposing mind and free
from restraint, and that the same should
be admitted to probate." So the Ber
riens ntid tnat tnere futiier is tneir mas
ter even in his grave,
" LEFT OVER.'
About midnight, a short time since, a
Detroit policeman discovered a female
seated in a dark hall-way and apparent
ly fast asleep. It was not until he took
hold of her arm. that she suddenly put
her right foot against his body and sent
him down three steps and out the door
way, followed by the remark :
" Young man don't you come spook
ing around here unless you want to lose
a leg I"
" Who are you V" Inquired the officer
as he cautiously advanced again.
" You go 'long sir 1" she replied.
He was several minutes assurring her
of his official position and his desire to
be of any service to her and when her
mind was easy on that she explained :
"1 come down nere from Canada on
an excursion and I got left over.".
" iiow long have you been here on
the stairs V"
" About an hour, I guess."
" And will you go to a hotel i"'
"Naw!" she replied, in in tones of
dlBcust. "I'm going to slummix
around here till daylight, and then I'm
going to cross on the boat. You don't
catch me rayiDg out no money at
hotel." . . . , ; .
"Don't you feel afraid 1"'
" I rather think I don't," she replies
as she rose up and showed a figure
about five feet ten in height and weigh
Ing about 1C0 pounds. " It's kind
dark and purty dusty in here and there
is a good many rats running around but
if you hear screams for help Uwixt now
and daybreak you may reckon that
Borne fool of a mau has come along and
sassed me and that I have lit down on
him I"
" Well, I guess you'll get along."
"You bet I will I I can whistle some
aud sing purty well, but if I had
moutb-oruan and a hunk of gum
might feel more lively. Never mind
though. 'Tain't over four hours to day
light, and I am used to Bitting up all
night!"
SUNDAY EEADIN3, .
It It not My Duslncss.
A wealthy man In St. Louis was ask
ed to aid In' a eerles of temperanoe
meetings, but he scornfully refused.
After being further pressed he Bald :
" Gentlemen,lt la not my business."
A few days after his wife and two
daughters were coming home on the
lightning express. In his grand car
riage, with liveried attendants, he rode
to the depot, thinking of his splendid
business, and planning for the morrow.
Hark I did some one say " Accident V"
There are twenty-fire railroads center
ing in St. Louis. If there has been an
accident, It Is not likely it has happen
ed on the- and Mississippi Uall-
road. Yet It troubles him. " It Is his
business" now. The horses are stopped
on the instant, and upon inquiry he
finds that it has occurred twenty-five
miles distant, on the and Missis
sippi, netelegrapbs to the superintend
ent : ,
' I will give you five hundred dollars
for an extra engine."
The answer flashes back "No."
" I will give you one thousand dollars
for an engine."
" A train with surgeons aud nurses
has already gone forward, and we have
no other."
With white face and anxious brow,
the man paced the station to and fro.
" It is his business" now. In a half
hour, perhaps, which seemed to him a
half century, the train arrived. He
hurried toward it, and in the tender
found the mangled and lifeless forms of
his wife and one of his daughters. In
the car following lay his other daughter
with her dainty ribs crushed in, and
her precious life oozing slowly away.
A quart of whiskey, which was
drank fifty miles away by . a railroad
employee, was the cause of the catastro
phy. Who dare say of this tremendoua
question, " It is not my business."
An Heir Rejoicing Over the Value of Kia In
heritance. .
The pathos and deep humor of the
colored man has been repeatedly embel
lished In anecdote and incident of real
life but the following, as an incident
which oocured on East Third street, sev
eral days ago, is one of the best of its
kind we have ever heard, as an incident
in the colored man's charaoteristics : A
weU-known colored man who lives on
Third street east of Chestnut, was walk- ,
Ing leisurely towards Market street,
when he met a neighbor, a well-known
coachmaker, with whom he has been
on friendly terms for many years. ,,The
colored man approached his white neigh
bor with his usual bland . and happy -manner,
somewhat heightened in glow
when he was accosted with, " Why,
neighbor ,you look unusually happy this
morning. What has happened to please
you so much ?" ,
" Oh I" exclaimed the colored man,
" I am an heir. My elder brother died
and made me his heir he gave me a
large, good house all ready for me to
move in. And 1 am so happy ! Glory 1
glory 1 1 glory III" burst out the speaker
rubbing his hands in great glee. ,
" I congratulate you on your good for
tune. It will do you good in your old
age." said the white man.
" In very old age very old age," said
the colored man musingly and then
bursting out Into another pathetic flow
of feeling, he said, " Bless you neighbor
it wiU make me young again it will
make a new man of ine it will give
better clothes and purer victuals than I
ever eat."
" When did your brother die V I nev
er knew you had one I thought you
were alone In the world."
"So I am alone in the world, but when
I go to my closet I am not alone. There
I have sweet company. But I have a
brother. He died on the cross eighteen
hundred years ago, and when he died
he willed me a mansion In the skies.
Jesus Christ my elder brother my
Bweet brother the Saviour of the world
left me a home in his will! Glory!
Hallelujah I lam rich rich as a klng
and I shall sit down on the same throne
with my elder brother. Think of that,
neighbor. 'Alnt I an heir ?" and the
old colored man, with a light in his eye
and elasticity in his step, waved his hat
to his neighbor as he passed up Third
street singing, " When I can read my
title clear to mansions In the skies," &c.
, You find yourself refreshed by the
presence of cheerful people. Why not
make earnest efforts to confer that pleas
ure, on others V You will find half the
battle is gained if you never allow your
self to say anything that sounds gloomy.
fir Good nature extracts sweetness
from everything with which it comes In
contact, as the bee extracts honey from
every flower which it visits.
