Fab. 16lb. IBM. —I bate beau warning
to writ* to you ever alnoe my rat urn.
but up to oow bavu never had the op
portunity. For a mouth or more 1
waa very busy brushing work that had
accumulated during rny absent*, ana,
an tbu aoparmleudeut has bren away
tan days and tbe manager more then
six weeks, I had to perforin ihelr du
ties iu addition to my own; so It kspt
me "bustling” all the time, even
nights, holiday* aud Sundays.
All this la happily ended now, how
ever, and I have plenty of time at my
disposal. Some ot It f devote to read
ing and study; *ouie to trying my skill
with rod and guu; and a Ork-I history
of my success with ttie two latter will
form the pcluolpal portion of this let
ter. Not that I am particularly fond
of cither sport, hut 1 know It 1* not
Wls* to spend all my time indoors, so
go hunting and llahiug occasionally for
the sake of ex iroise.
w.me i waa Here lu itiuiumj aume
week* ago a parly of four uf n* went
flshii.g in tbe Gulf of Parts, which lit
erally teems with fish — great aud small
—ij'ire so than auy ilmilar body <d
ssater Id tbe world I am told. We
wanted nothing but log Bad aud pre
pared accordingly. For bait we car
ried a number ot Use cat-fish, each a
pound or more In weight, ao entire
fish being used aa oue bail. Xhe
hook* were aa large hi osy finger In
thickness and more thau a foul lung.
They were fastened to a piece of clialo
two feet in length and the chalu at
tached to oue and one half iucb rope,
which constituted the remainder of
tbe line. Our Unit Caleb was quickly
m:ide and prosed to be a grouper—a
highly prised table Bali— which meas
ured live feet ten incite* loug. and j
lipped the scales St one hundred eigb- 1
ly-lwo pounds. He was s beauty and I
afforded some rare sport before we I
■ncreedad in lauding him in tbe boat. I
The next bile was at my book, and it
waa so vicious as to nearly oapsiie ns
When we bad hauled iu enough line
we discovered we hod a man-sat tug
shark at Uis other end, aud llie excite
merit rose to fever heat. Wbilothreo
of us hauled bis head to the surfaoa ol
the water tho fourth man shot the
shark with a 45 calibre Martini-Henry
rifle. After tb<s operation had been
repeated five lime* we believed we had
a dead fish, but were not sure eoough
of It to try to taka him aboard a* a
fifth paaseoger, as it might have proved
another case of "catching a tartar.”
So an threw a slip-nnoee over bis bead
and dorsal Hu and towed him to tbe
nearest boat-house, wlwr* we hoisted
him ashore with block and tackle.
When we badthim safely landed we
found bis exact length to be seven feet
six iiicbes, and his weight tiro hun
dred utuelv-srven pouuda His mouth
was Just fifteen incite* from corner to
corner sod was filled with double rows
of very wicked looking teeth. His
Invr aloue weighed Qfty-four pouuda.
Inside him »e round one pocket-knife,
ooe pleue ot cloth and several pounds
of sheep wool. One of my companions
Insist* there was also a gold watch and
Obain, and that tlio watch was still
running; in proof ot which be shows
tbe watch ! 1 don’t vouch for Ibis last
addition, however, and, as 1 waa pres
ent during tbe entire operation, I
think bis story sounds u little "Ushy.”
Ov»r In Venrsoals I have beeu
equ-lly successful with rod and gun.
A. few weeks since I weot out for two
hours and had to call assistance to
eairy my game home. I had killed
on* tiger or jaguar alwot six feet long,
threw snakes, six, eight nnd ten fret
Jong, respectively, two ducks, a tur
key und some smaller birds. Shortly
after, 1 was out fur nearly half a day
and Drought home ooly two toucans.
One or two days later, just at day
break, there was a great hubhub and
cnui'notion raised at one of our labor
er’s "ranches" a hundred yards dis
tant. 17pa. bearing It ( annntwd the
eau-e (it has happened before) and,
grabbing a 44 oulibr* nvutlng
WliHUsalar, which I* always wIMilu
easy nwch, l, cl ad only In pejsrnae and
slippers, ruslied t» the kmim and ar
rived In time toaee tlm crouching lorm
of a huge brownish-red banal In the
busli nearby. Two SboU were luffl
olent to pero It u nl«at*r lusueclioa aud
It wm then found 1 Imrl killed a mouo
taln Hon ur nuvia, alma* length was
seven fret, ft la ueedlms to add that
I have both hla and Ilia tiger*’ aklo to
bring borne aa trophies,—and 1 hope ro
make the Collection larger before [ fit.
Other bpntiug expeditions have
brought me never*! turkeys, duoka,
macaws, rlamlbgoa and cu moron ■

shark disporting himself lu shallow

creeping along, this Is more spplloabl*
to tlie sulern ahore, where • greenback
recently caught weighed over one
hundred pounds. In the or taka sod

1 have travelled over the Islaud to a
Condderabteeglant recently aud among
the numerous beautiful things saw a
fruit garden or grove that is well worth

Ibiifiy exotics. Among ottiers was
tt>« mango, with tU peach like foliage,

•>l ripening fruit, tlie alligator or
atnnitli), pear was marvellously ueau
tiful iu iu rull Idostoni, suggnatlog lo
lorui of color tlw paaaiou (lower; tlie
soft, delicate foliage of the tamarind
was like our Seuwlive plaul; lbs ban
ana lives were in full itearing, tlw
deep green fruit (It is ripened and
turns yellow off the tree) being in
clusters of a hundred, more or Ism,
lipped si Lite sanio time liy a tiogls
pend rut bud, nearly as large ss a pluo
appla; tlie date palm, so suggestive of
the tar east, was represvuted by a
cholae specimen, imported In Itayouth;
there was alto tlie star-apple tree, re
markable for Us uulform and graceful
shape, full of the green fruit, with
Here and there n ripening speolmeu; to
also was the favorite xapota, its roity
ooaled fruit hanging In tempting
abuuduuc*. From low, broad-spread
itig trere dependod thu grape-frstt or
shuddock. as large as an Infant's head
slid yellow as gold, while the orange,
lime and lemon trees, bearing blos
soms, green and rips fruit eltogethwr,
met tlie eve at every turn and filled the
garden with fragrance. The cocosout
palm, with its tall, straight stem and
cluttering fruit, dominated all the rest
but guava, fig. custard-and golden
apple and bread-fruit trees were num
eious, many of them bearing. And
onr hospitable host plneknd freely of
the choicest for the bens fit of UU
ohanoe visitors. Never before hive I
seen such a fruit garden. It told of
fertility of soil ami delicioatneee of
cli mate, of care. Jud gment a nd I Iber *1
expenditure, all of which combined
had turned this spot Into a veritable
Udeo. Tho picture of this tropical
garden will linger In my memory
like the balm of a breete from
tho sea of ltie Carlbs, or the IHvoi of
fruit, surely the same grown In Eden,
fur tho original I’aradlte must have
been far In tbe Southland.
For the narivallad loveliness of this
Paradise Of tlie Went Indies, its magic
scenery, its for eats. Its mountains, iu
clear streams. IU green meadows, Iu
fruit-bearing Holds and groves, its gay
gardens, iu unnumbered beauties, lie
who desires tn know them aright must
consult, not written description but
actna! reality,—not reports bot pres
ence.
And yet, will) all these beautiful
surroundings, I would stm-wt give my
right hand to again be iu the dear old
Carolina!, even If but for a day. They
are good enough for me. and It teems
three years instead of as many months
sluoe I was last there ou my vacation.
May the day arrive speedily when I
may again be with you, this time, 1st

1 wras runtn*tlnf scout the aobemaa
end tilcke of the politicians who han
ker after oflloe end ray memory went
back to the nkl know-nothing party
during tlie fiO’a, and how the politic
ian* pulled the woo) o*«r ray eyes and
Inveigled cue In. I was young th*u
and easily fooled. Hut l was dread
fully tn earueat, for I really feared that
foreigners were about to take tbe
country and that Homan Catholics
woukl soon gel lu pc war through the
IrUlt vote and tbe Spanish inquisition
would be revived eud the devil be
turned loose for 1,000 jeer a. And so
1 jolued, and they made me an otildar
and gave me a loog sword and 1 guard
ed Ilia dour and ray Insignia was a
white regalia with the motto: '‘rot
none but Americans ou guard to
night." I tell yun 1 felt proud and 1
responsible for Hie preservation ol
political and religious liberty. 1 would
have fought panthers and wildcats und
gorillas. In tael, 1 wanted to Debt
something, for the kuow-nothiof press
aod know-uothiog orators and know
noiblug preaohers had got us aroused
to dripcration and I cuald hardly kr«p
my rntnils oft an Irishman wlieu I uiel
him In the strait. Every preechvr in
town Joined aod Brother Caldwell and
Brother Sullweil were made chaplains,
and they prayed loog and aarueatly tor
our country aod Its hallowed laetitu
tloue. Ob It waa aolaan and serious.
But one night It waa proposed to
cnoosH delegatee to go to a convention
to noiDlaaU a cam! id ate for CoagrcM
sad it leaked out that a man was to
bn nominated who had no moral eland
mg in me community, out urns rich
and h.td used bta money freely and w#
began lo smell a mice. About that
time Alrx Strpnene took tbe deld
against oar order sod 1 never beard
suob a speech la my 111*. Uecvor
Ibsitugty lambasted our leaders for try
ing to fool the people and he made ua
democrat* feel a* mean as a dug for
ever having (alien loto tb* trap. >ie
for* that 1 really thought I was doing
God's service In lislping good patriots
to save tb* oounlry. U-m dark night
I told my wife a lln about Jiarlng ur
gent bualneaa at iny offlc# and wouMu’t
bo back uotit late, vary late, auil I
want out six miles In lla country to an
old millliuuss on Silver creak. Half a
donee otfjoei* went along with ase and
we insulated a branch lodge up in tb*
gai r*t or the old mill and got oovered
all over with cobwebs and dour, and
next morning my wtfs got up Brat and
looked at my ololbes. dbe ruminated
for a minute and then remarked:
"Had to go to mill last night 1 see.
I didn’t know tbat tb* flour was out.”
For some time 1 bad bean a suspect
with her about tills oflte* business at
night, for every lime s know-nothing
meeting was called I title three-eonicr
ed red papers wore seen on the aid*
walks eb ml town and It was noruled
around tbat tb* know-nothings war*
to meet that night. The next day our
wives compared note* and found out
that Dearly alt tb* man had bualnret
down town that night. Cau’t foul
these women. They don’t like secret
societies no how. A good faithful
wire doesa’l Ilk* anything that gets lu
between her and twr husband. Hh«
baa no acorels from him aod be ought
not to have any from lier. Mot long
after we were married I joined a se
cret society, and when ebe got to look
lug over my nnder garments to tea if

Couldn’t explain it to ber estisfactioo.

Well, the know-nothing party died
early lu three parts, for the people
found oat that It was e political
aolrem* to get Into otflee. Just no the
