Queer Fish That Are Bald to Serenade Residents of Cape May. . r I Baltimore American. ' The singing shad has been seen and heard in lower Delaware bay ' this ;- spring. It hasn't been seen in large quantities, of course, for the appear ance of this odd fish in these waters is a rare occurrence.. But few of the singing shad have enchanted ihe fish ermen since the season began. :They come from the South, and only when the wind has died d,dwn and the wa-i ter is quiet They come in schools, emitting musical notes as they swim along. The sounds they make are ' soft and-something like those jof ari , seolian harp.. It is hard to'express, or rather imitate, on paper thetrrelot dy they singf ilt runs something like this: ."Wee ho, he hi do de flic di dum." . -.- - v ! This sound cannot be madeto any effect except when the shad travel in' schools. The singJe a single shad is itoo feeble to be::JEiearcf above the ripple of the u&ter.";tjThis year has been the first probably in, a .decade that the singing of ashad has favored the fishermen of -Dele: ware bay. Capt. Arnold, one 6f the oldest and most ; truthful df south Jrrsey fishermen, said the other day at he had heard the singing a shad . .umber of times in his piscatorial .. . -er. Theiy are rare, of Course, .t north as this. When they do .... :ri old fishermen are apt to ' : :r and distinguish them. We L.V ab5ut them and are more or .It-vs on the. lookout for.

It is not so large and there is a - slight viitTerence'jn the formation of the mouth. Only an expert fisherman can tell when he has caught one of .the. finny songsters. Old fishermen regard the musical had as prizes, and do not send them to market un less they are paid a very high price for them. : It Is estimated that they travel in"1 schools of about 500. Their singing; is pleasant at first, but soon grows monotonous, owing to the fact Jthat it is a constant repeti tion of the same few sounds! Whether many of these peculiar fish ever go up the Delaware or move on to Nework and mingle with" the plain every-day Hudson river shad is not known. They lose their iden tity when they get in with other-fish and it is doubtful if they ever sing lone. HE .HAD 579 GIRLS. ' j And Therefore Had to Make 1158 Vialta i Week. . , An Oriental dispatch casually men ; tions the fact that the King of Anr nam has at present 579 wives. This . 'leads an analytical Jacques of the Minneapolis Tribune to moralize as follows : : 1 Consider for a moment what this statement entails. Glancing back a few years in the life of the King it is evident that at One time, not long. past, nnam s ruler must have had 579 sweethearts. If he had visited reach one a whole evening it would have been impossible to have gone Hi rough the list in;, a year. Now, no self-respecting girl will be satisfied with a lover who Calls once a year. Twice a week is agood average. On r. Jasis let us do a. little figuring. 1 rjfe King of Ahham visited 579 . twice a" week. -That would be v 1 8 visits a week,; or, counting 'ays, 165 visits a night.

A San Franoisoo Bully Beaten by a Nervy XJttle Gbap. San, Francisco Chronicle, Aug. r?. The passengers Jpn one of the early morning boats fromN Oakland to this .city yesterday witnessed a little bit of by-play that bad a most satistac tory : denouement. After the boat had left thej mole, , a : frail, little woman, shabbily dressed, with a babft at her breastjentered the ladies' cabin and timidly sat down. She; staggered as she walked, and her pale, wan face bespoke the invalid. She had hardly, seated herself on the soft cushions when a burly man, with thei physiognomy of-a bull terrier, entered and grasped her roughly by the arm. "' "f.-' --,' "Come out of this!" he growled. "This, is no place for' the likes of you. Don't yOn see this is for ladies?" The little woman winced, and said: "It's so nice here, and I'm tired. Please let me stay. I'll be right still and not say a word to any body." - : ,'Oh, you "Willeh? And so you're tired, are you?" asked the man, iron ically. ,,MYou've done a whole lot to bej tired, you have. Now, you just listen to me.

' A little by about 12 years -old edged his way through the crowd. His face and hands were begrimmed with dirt and his made-over trousers, were rag ged. He stepped forward and shook his small fist in tne bully's face.. : j 'If you lay dat hand of yours on the lady I'll I'll smash yer face so yer mudder wouldn't know yer," he piped. - . A look of amazement- came over the bully's Countenance. He hesita ted for a moment, looked at the faces about him and, slunk away. The bully was whipped. j- "Here's a dollar for you, little man.

The late Tames Singleton, occa sional assistant ostler and genera! hanger-on in the yard of the Wheat- sheaf hotel .in Blackburn, must, one would think, have long grown weary of being asked to insure his life. Mr. Singleton was a poor jnan and an illiterate one; he had no particu lar desire to insure his life; he had iio money to pay premiums; and, as to filling up a "proposal" with its customary schedules, he had not a glimmering of an idea of how to do it. But all this was of no consequence in the eyes of his friends and acquaintances. 'They were wont apparently to accost him in some such way as this : "Good piorning Jemmy. Any objection to my insuring your life?" Jemmy, who probably saw in the suggestion pleas ing visions of refreshments at the bar, doubtless answered like Mr. Barkis, that he was "willing" and Forthwith the friend proceeded to fill up the form. - j So the thing went on till no fewer jthan twenty d stirict policies, rep-e-jsentin-a t. l of I,7u0 had been ieffect d fii t- i lift, .,t the little old ostler w!o knwked about in the yard f this puM c house.

Ap parently he coocc'rr.ed himself liltie about such matters. But now he is dead and buried, and one of the policy-holders has- been prosecuting' his claim at the Manchester assizes.

Counsel, in brief, threw up the case at a point and the jury at once returned a verdict by consent for the insurance company j! A MONKEY'S HEROISM- It Saved a Child from a Horrible Death.

The grand est day in the annals of Raleigh. . . This is the general sentiment. of all. The people are here by thousandsithestreets are literally packed, and each incoming train is loaded down. At noon it' was estimated there were no less than fifteen thousand strangers within ur gates, The ladies are here in tremendous num 'bers, and nothing less than the -prover;. bial Carnival of Venice can convey any thing like an adequate description of the scene. '" v ;;. .- -'.. :' To-day is what might be termed a "combination day." Properly speaking it has been set apart as "University Day", and the boys are here . in force. The Confederate Veterans, too, claim it, and they are here in considerable numbers. The programme is perhaps about as at tractive as any that will be prescribed during the exposition, and is being car Tied out as far as practicable. " CONFEDERATE VETERANS. ' The annual meeting ot;' Confederate Veterans was called to order about 11.30 o'clock, on the Grand Stand, and at 12 o'clock the grand parade took place. It was an imposing sight, caftsing immense enthusiasm . on the part ;rof the large crowd present. Patriotic speeches were made, and reminiscences of the "times that tried men's souls" were viividly por trayed. The crowd on the grounds, at its maximum about noon, is estimated at fully ten thousand. Large additions are anticipated from the Western train and over the R. & G. ' Railroad. The aggregate attendance during the entire day can safely be estimated at 12,000. .. '.. IDLE RUMORS. There are all sorts of sensational rumors afloat here about a change in the management of the Inter-State. Ex position. Your correspondent is enabled to state, after careful investigation and interviews, that there is no foundation for most of them. Mr. Patrick was quite sick yesterday, and this gave rise to an absurd statement that - he had abandoned the enterprise. Nothing is iurtherfrom the truth. Mr. Patrick's indisposition arose, chiefly, if not en tirely, from the fact that he has been a much overworked man, and badly needed rest. . There was, too, somewhat of a panic, (or a sham-panic, gotten up among chronic growlers) caused from the announcement that General Chilton had "thrown up the sponge" arid re tired. Such statements gained only short temporary credence in any quar ter. . Gen. Cbilton. it is true, has left the city, but .his absence is only tem porary, and caused entirely on account of business interests. So far from being disheartened, your correspondent can state on the highest authority, that the Exposition in all its phases is meeting the reasonable expec tations, not only of its prospectors, but of a large majority of those who attend. COLORED AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE., About a month since the trustees of the proposed Agricultural and Mechan ical College met in this city for the pur pose of considering its location. No decision was arrived at, owing to the reception of propositions from several cities and towns. An adjournment was made until this morning, and the trus tees are in session to-day. It is under stood that since the last meeting the Committee having in charge the 'matter of soliciting subscriptions in 'Raleigh have secured pledges to an amount ap propriating $12,000. and the outlook at this meeting is that the institution, if a decision is made, will be located here. , POLITICAL. ; Jno. B. Eaves, chairman of the he publican State Executive Committee, is in the city. His arrival has been sup plemented, this afternoon, by the ap pearance of others of the faithful, and a consultation is on foot for to-night. It seems to be the understanding that the question of ways and means will be the main one under consideration. Col. Keogh, of the North State, will submit his proposition for the removairof that paper to Raleigh, and it is considered certain that it will be accepted. DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE. - : The meeting of the Democratic State Executive Committee, called to assem ble in Commons Hall to-night, is under Stood to, be merely an informal one. There are numbers of leading political .gent emen . in the city who will proba bly De asked to interchange views. Al though it may appear rather premature to map out anything'like a programme for the campaign ot 1982, the general out look will no doubt be discussed. Your correspondent has mingled much dur ing the past 'few days with representa tive gentlemen from all sections of North Carolina, and fails to note any lack of fealty, to Democratic doctrines, or any leaning to annex organizations for redress of real or supposed wrongs. The general belief is that all worth de-: siring can be fully secured within party bounds. , - " FRED DOUGLASS. ; 1 There was great disappointment 'yes terday among the colored people at the failure of Fred Douglass to put in his appearance. He telegraphed that hav ing indulged much of late in public speaking he felt physically unable to perform the task. He promises, how ever, to pay bis "native State" a visit soon.' In this connection it may not be amiss to say that the. practice of an nouncing the ' presence" of rioted men without failure, and then have them de cline, is causing much grumbling. It is calculated to work injury, but seems to have been frequently indulged in of late years by those having in charge large gatherings. ', - . UNIVERSITY BOYS. The University bovs arrived about 11 o'clock. At the depot they took the electric cars, crowding four of them to their utmost capacity. As they passed through the streets the "University yell" was sent up, much to the . delight "of thousands who lined the sidewalks. "The boys" have evidently come to "paint" the town' in their innocent way. ' ; . - - ; . - Business is pretty much at 'a stand still here to-day. Most of the merchants and clerks are at the grounds. Raleigh, N. cTQct. 17. The State Fair has come and gone. As an annex to the Inter-State Exposition it has proven as may be termed, the initiatory step to what will appear, in the end, a grand success. It was not until this week that the show . has put m that compact "and well ordered appearance so necessary to meet tne expectations of the public, .from now out, while there will not be so great a pressure of people as- during the past week, there will doubtless be a steady attendance, vary ing m proportion to the i programme mapped out. , , i. The ending of the State Fair proper, will not to any extent lessen the nun: ber or variety of exhibits. Indeed, there are many additidns being made, daily, 'sir that th"r is nn'nrnw tnr onn Ion. - w.wv w . j lag- ging of interest.- - It is hoped that from now there will be no adverse comments on t'ne part ot the press,-unless justified, which does not now appear probable. The attendance to-day has been, larger man usual on aaiuraays, ana consisted to a great extent,of people from the im mediate vicinity. ' The number of ladies and children was more than usual on the closinglay of the btate Fair. . , - v ": ';'- " MUSICAL FEATURE, -rpr --M? 1 A specially gratifying feature of the Exposition thus far has been the music I which, for efficiency, far surpassed pre vtous occasions. , i ne Durham Band has done itself special credit, while the Female Band from Indiana during their brief stay elicited the highest admira tion. '" Their departure caused deep regret. , . - . The soeech or Hon. wvx. warns, ot the Inter-State Bureau of ' Education, delivered yesterdBy,. may be considered , a master-piece of statistical information. It was welL deliyered, particularly lis tened to, and warmly applauded. - " " REASSURED.""" . -x. . . There is a noticeablejeeling of relief on the part of onr Democratic friends since the recent conference. Much was said and done that .for good and suffi cient reasons was not widely dissemi nated. It is sufficient to know that from the tone of remarks emanating -from representatives in- all portions of the State, the' most '-- remote, danger to con tinued Democratic ascendency in North Carolina can now be said to exist only in the imagination of the proverbial "weak-kneed" politicians The confer ence was indeed a "love feast." 'Alli ance men and non-Alliance men . met together and exhibited such ' a spirit of compromise and. brotherly feeling as to cement even more firmly than, ever the ties of Democratic brotherhood. - The address to be proclaimed to the people is in good hands. It will "nothingex tenuate nor aught set down in malice," but will abound in such an exposition of the real state of affairs as will, beyond doubt, heal all old sores, if any exist, and open the-way for such a canvass in 1892 as is calculated to again scatter the schemes of Radicalism to the four winds. This is the ( expectation from those presumed to be judges of the situ tion. . .-....... - ' . i ,--. : . NO COMFORT, i All the preliminary : arrangements for the removal of the North State - news paper to Raleigh are understood to have been perfected this week. The entire charge will be under the Republican Executive Committee. Eaves, Mott and other lights have been in close con sultation over the situation. As far as your correspondent can learn, the re moval will hardly take place before ear ly in the coming spring. In this con nection your, correspondent feels as sured that the ; "great expectations" heretofore indulged" in from Alliance troubles in the Democratic fold have been seriously set back. The "Moguls" of the Republican party ; have been watching on the outer lines . with no perceptible comfort, and were complete ly nonplussed at the late conference. That they have "counted without their hosts" is apparent. SUPERIOR COURT, : A large" number of cases have been docketed against C. D. Upchurch, Jate Republican Clerk of the Superior Court; for the next term of the Superior Court, which commences on the 26th instant. These are brought principally by those who have paid Upchurch guardian funds, which be misappropriated. Up church's bondsmen will probably lose about $3,000. It is not known'whether or not the Solicitor ill press the crim inal charge against the defaulting clerk, although the grand jury have found a true bill. : TELEGRAPH BUSINESS. The business of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph offices in this city, for the past ten days has been enor mous. In fact it is stated upon good authority that the specials sent out from Raleigh are usually more numer ous than from any place of like size in the South. EX-GOVERNOR JARVIS And Mrs. Jarvis will remain with us for a week or so. They are the guests of Governor Holt at. the Executive Man sion. It is expected that the Chamber of Commerce and city authorities will unite in giving a grand reception to Gov. Jackson and the Maryland troops when they visit the Exposition. BOBBY IS A KNOWING DOG. A. True Aeeount of Boms Teata Ho Per formed With Bombers. Washington Star. . A, fat skye terrier stood wagging his tail-on a 14th street corner.
