VAUlF/nr.S Ol* SHAD*
An Old I'islierman on Fishing.
'•Yes." said an old fisherman at Glota-
«esfer, "I'm an old .siiaoileror I wouldn't
be heri awaitin' for shad Hies. The
season's a coiumeneiii' and w'ro <rit-
tin' ^em from Carwlinv now, $11.50 a
piece and soon uj> and down, sieoordin'
to size. Shad don't ui: up Uero afore
the last of April. You'll know it bv
the shad flies. J,ist as soon as you see
them buzzin' aroHinl you'll sineli the
fried roe. Yes, I used !o be a regular
professional .shadder. Why» bless you,
I've been a-sliathlin' uj) the Amazon
liiver, but the regular sfiad business is
on our coast, and i( you'll yit on tiie
old Dominion steamers bound for Flor-
ida in the Fall you'll find tiie steerage
full of shadders goin' down for the
season—rough look n' men to see, but
the solid grit of Jersey, I\iiladelphy
and Conneetient, and. though they go
half rates, they often have a thousand
dollars' worth of seins and shad nets
aboard. They divides up generally,
some goin' to 1 lie St. Marys and the
rast to the S . Johns. This is about as
far South as ih -y gif. as just below
there is no re ufar way or shinpin'
North. Shad lisuin' in the St. Johns
commences about Decernoer I, and 1
ean tell you it's lively there for a few
months.
"Shail are a curious fish and hard to
<rit at, but I've si»'ti 'em rise fa a fly-
just like a trout. The Government has
spent a good many thousand dollars in
trying to introduce 'em inio Connecti-
cut waters, where tin y are» of course,
found to some extent, but mills and
factories of various kimis drive 'em
out. There's one kind of a shad called
the Gizzard, that the lirst 1 ever caught
iiear.y scairt the life n/t of me. I got
a little seiue round about 200, and the
minute I got 'em abeve water there
commenceil the tlurndest whirrin' aud
whizzin' you ever heard. First I
thought sometliin' was aflyin' over-
head. but it was them fish, every, one
of 'em talkiu' away for dear life. I
foit more like chiiekin' of 'em back.—
You can tc.l 'em by the spine on their
backs. But the linest shad in the
world," continued the old man, getting
up and opening a box, "is the Jew
fish. There is one of ihc scales," he
aJded. handiugout a magnificent scaie

GOLDFISH IN Till: OHIO.
The Unique Industry of a Cincinnati
Nat oral is?.
' "Do you happen to know that tho
flood has resulted in stock.ug the Oliio
river with goldfish"'r
j "No."
I "Well, it has-, to ft limited extent.
The backwater from Mill Creek flooded
Hugo Mil crtt's goldfish nursery out
i back of Soring Grove and carried
| away some 'thousands of young fish of
i all kinds—Jaoanese fringe-tails, liog-
i noses, telosecp tumblers, piebalds,,
i double-tails, mottled beauties and a
I hundred other rare kinds that you and
I have never heard of. The same thing
! happened last year, and. if it is kept
: up, in the course of time the people
I along the lower line of the river \nilt
| ave a chance to t*ste a finer fish than
the channel cat."
| "But goldfish are only lit fo? orna-
mental purposes. Thev wero iteyej*
meant for the frying-pan."
i "That is where you are ri is taken.
One variety that was washed away in
large numbers—known as the gold orfe
—is as fine a food or game tNL^ as nnv
man need want, and, at the same tlm<\
is a bright Vermillion from lhe tin of
his nose to the end of his tail. . He is
as big as a lull-grown trout and as
knowing as a fox. But don't take my
word for it. (Jo and see Mr. Mulertt
about it. He is the only fish-farmer in
this neighborhood, I think, and can
tell you more interesting facts about
gold-fish in an hour than you can print > i
in a week."
"Yes, sir; I ara a fish-farm«r, if you
like to give me that name, although
the usual designation for a man in mv
minute. D>n't move, please"—and be-
fore tne wr t'T knew what was tho
matter, Mr. Muierit had slipped up the
hill to Ins liaise, and was returning
witn a tweniy-iwo caliber Flobert rifle*
charged and eoeKed. 11c pointed the
muzzle at the root of a tall clump of
painpa grass on the ed»e of one of tho
ponds, there came the sii::rp crack
from the exploding.cartridge, and then
a small, brovvu water-snake threw him-
self out of tiie hide in whicn ho had
been hiding, and writhed on the grass
in foil view.
"Snakes are among our worst ene-
mies," said the shooter, ejecting the
siied from his i ll • and eooliy r^tilacing
it * *nii a tresh cartridge. •• v..re is
rarely a day passes that I do not shoot
one or more of them. Turvles and
inuskrats are a so great p -sis. With
this rill -. I shot no i«ss tit. u fiitv blue
herons on the j>ond last \o r. some of
them sttinding four and live .cot high;
and as for cranes, king-lishers, froys.
crawfish and.newts, they make my life
a burden. The snake is in the hfibifc
of lying hidden from view, with onlv
his h Mid (xjiosed, and playing his
tongue in:o me water. The young fish
imagine the ton rue to be a worm or
something suitable for a dinner; but,
they no -oouer approach it, than tho
snake selz -s them, and instead of eat-
ing they are eaten.—Cincinnati En-
