Lu. Sin’s Reply to Truthfu] James.
In the appended poem, which we clip from an ex-
change. the “ heathen Chinee“ defends his character
ngainsi the aspc'rslons of Truthi'ul James, and in-
geniously explains how a useful assortment of
bowers and nces crept up his sleeve while his at-
tention was concentrated on that momentous game
which has become historical.
Which my name is Ah Sin:
I don't want to call names.
But I must to begin.
Say just this of T. James:
That I am convinced he is rather
“'0" up to the sinfulest games.
Yes. Ah Sin is my name,
Which I need not deny:
“hot it means—ls no shamv.
You will find if you try.
Tlml its meaning is something (‘cli-‘liul.

the pomlbility of some one being on the op-
posite side of the hedge, the report of thepis-
to! drove the thought. out of her mind. All
three bounded forward. The unerring ball
struck the center of the bracelet. “ You
have lost, my you have lost!" cried
Chirp, smiling and pointing at the handkeb
chief. “ Your aim is inexorably exact,
Ralph,” exclaimed Berta apparently in mock
displeasure ; but in reality, in a tone of ill~
suppressed]? emotion, for it had suddenly oc-
curred to her that Raimond was the giver of
that bracelet “The olden trophy to the
Victor‘s love i" cried Ipb; handing it to
Chirpie and laughing heartily. But a deep,
lougdrawn, fearful checked his mirth
and turned every face to asheu hue. A lit.-
tle further on, there was an opening in the
hedge. Ralph dashed through it followed
by Chirp and Berta. Merciful heaven! im-
ugine their horror as their eyes fell upon the
outstretched form of Raimond. Chirp sank
lifeless lo the ground. Berta threw herself
upon her knm at the side of that loved one,
whose warm blood was now bubbling forth
from a wound in his breast. She raised his
head ; she kissed his colorless lips again and
again, she sought in vain to staunch the flow
of blood; she called him by name but he
answered her not. Meanwhile Ralph turned
to bear Chirp to a spring in the park, that he
might bathe her brow and call her back to
life. At length, Rnimoud’s eyes opened at
the sound of Berta's voice and in spite of his
dying agony, he smiled and murmured :
" Furgivc—Bcrm—farcwell—in your arms—

The blood rose in his throat, a gurgling
sound was heard for a moment and that no-
ble breast grew still fOrever. They tore my

wealth. She refused it. He has never writ-

Eccentricity.
One 51' Ill(' mo.~l eccentric personage: of
the eighteenth century, the Marquis de Bac-
qucvillc, is described in an article in the
Revue dc Normandic. On one occasion he
had ordered a clock to be made; it was of
difficult construction and doubtful taste. “ I
must have it by such a day,‘ said he to the
clock maker, “ else I will not take it." The
time was short, but the Marquis was a liber-
al paymasler, and therefore the clock maker
took special pains, hired additional hands,
and finished the clock on the appointed day;
but it being too late to deliver it, be de‘
fcrrcd doing so until the next morning. On
the morrow he presented himself with the
clock before the marquis, but the latter re-
fused to receive it. “ If you had brought it
yesterday, at midnight, I would have rweiv-
ed it; butnow‘lt is too late." The clock mak-
er, in despair, represented the loss of time,
labor, and money he had incurred in the
work, and the Marquis, who sometimes
showed a kind heart in the midst of his
crochets, said: “ Here. take your money,
but carry away the clock; I have vowed not
to accept it.“
One of the borsfihaviug made a false
step, the Marquis caused him to be hanged
on n gibbet, and made his other how
walk past the suspended carcass every day,
all the while recommending them to take
warning by the example. He had about
fifty or sixty of the prettiest caustics, thrush-
cs, bull finches and other singing birds; and,
having consulted some dealers in birds as
to the quantity of seed which a bird ought
to consume in a year, he had a large measure
filled with the exact quantity, and then had
as many similar measures put into the avia-
ry as there were birds. “ Now, my pets,"
said he to them, “ I have given you enough
to last you a year; you must manage accord-
ingly, for you will have no more food until
the year is out." At the end of threemonths
perhaps less, it was all gone. The birds had
done as men do; having abundance to be-
gin with, they had squandered it. Part. of
it was consumed, part. was lost, and part had
become rotten. When he saw this, he said
to them, “ I forewarned you of it, and this
is how you have profited by my advice!
Now live how you can, and die if you will."
And die they all did. He had no. the hu-
,manity even to let them ' go Inc, to shift for
themselves, faucyiug that they were being
justly punished for their extravagance.

The Great Fish Bottle.
Last evening we got an invitation to I
cheap ride on‘ SpoonLake, on the confines
of the city limits, and went. Spoon Luke
is apprOpriately named from its resemblance
to a spoon. The bowl is nearly drcuhr,
and about seventy-five yards in diameter.
The handle is nearly half a mile long, and
crossed by the Chicago and Rock Ishnd
Railroad bridge near the neck. The “her
along the handle is very deep; uni below
the surface—water as cold as ice. The bowl
seems to be unfathomable, for u-rfive thou-
sand feet line with a plume! failed to
touch bottom.
A remarkable fact in regard to the lake
now is fbal. it is literally packed with fish,
while heretofore there was not more thou
enough to gratify the sporting practice of
our anglers The fish come towed the
shore in shoals, gasping for air, and, dying
in myriads, are cast onthe bank to decay.
The water of the lake, heretofore so “mm
has assumed a dark-brown walnut color.
An eddy in the middle of the bowLeb-
hing and flowing with tidal regularity, in-
dicates that Spoon Lake is in direct subter-
ranean communication with some you
body of water, and is subject to its influ-
ence. The water sometimes bulges up in
the middle of the bowl to twelve or eiglr
teen inches above the height of the rim or
margin ; and again is seen To form n minin-
ture cup or whirlpool, as if the water was
leaking out through a hole in the centre.
This circumstance leaves little or no doubt
of a subterranean channel
Another strange fact is that, like the Cas—
pian Sea, it. is fed by seven] small strum;
and, as there is no visible outlet, and the
water retains its freshness, there must be an
underground communication.
It was ebbing when we visited the lube.
and we were filled with curiosity to set! fire
little maelstrom at work: so, procuring 1
bottle, we incloscd a scrap of paper inscrib-
ed with the date, location and circumsnncr.
corked, tied and sealed the bottle, and cast
it into the eddy, when it insuntancmlsly
disappeared — was swallowed up by the
whirlpool.
There is no getting over the for: that in
the flow of the lake large quantities of fish
have been introduced to its waters by tif-
undergrouud passage, until the lskc has be-
come overstocked. The native fish, uodoubt
jealous of their piaeatorinl visitors, undo
war on them, with the evidcni inlcntion of
repelling the invasion. But the invading
armies seem to have been more powerful, to
judge from the dead and dyingm along
the margin, for the grout bulk «tho-child
are buffalo fish, at fish. perch sud pic, ht
with a difference of color, showing, st icon,
different species We picked up some of
the dying fish and examined them. Some
were bitten on the lower part of the hilly
below the gills, and others housed sic-g
the sidm, as if receiving chutisemem in-
some opponent‘s. tail.
