AN EXHILARATING BUI' PERIL. OUS OCCUPATION. Th o Fearless Pish is Harpoone d and Then Followed to Ills Deat h ill a Small Boat—Turning on Ills Pursuers. r~y WOEDFISHING is wonderfully v exhilarating sport, like-hunt- J^JJ ) ingbear—excellent and health ful 'jus;so \long :.as~ {'tho b 'ar ' don't -hunt yon.\\* Forth \from the •wido harbor of gray old Stoningtou on the Long'Island Sound'twice and thrico a week speed a little flock of smacks and sailboats, bending cast- \ward making for the swordfish grounds in tho ocean far beyond Block Island. From tho walled-in little '\basin ' within the granito breakwater at New Shoreham village, on the lonely island, sails as often another fleet of doughty and eager swordfishermcn. Swordfisn are very plentiful, and the world has lately learned to prize their flesh. There is money is tho chase of that solitary prowler of the sea who wears his sabre in his snout. It is fifteen or twenty miles southeast of Block Island, . on the hither edge of the Gulf Stream, that tho fisherman go to do battle with the swordfish. But it is not by any means a life altogether of ease and inactivity, cruis ing for swordfish. The great game fish are plentiful, indeed, and when tho sport is on there is stress of work and thrilling adventure, than which there is none more intense, more try ing, more intrepid, not eve n that of hunting the great right whale or send ing pilots tn a Btorm to incoming liners. These rough and ready, bare-armed, resolute, sun -tanned, marine redmon cruise not for sport in the first place, but for spoils and ready lucre, and every palpitating, armed leviathan they heave aboard their vessel means to them so many pounds of swordfish cut up into so many steaks at eight to ton cents a pound. The dollar mark is tagged to every fish. Almost every one knows how sword- fish are taken, and that it is arduous and perilsome, but desperately fascin ating work to fake them. Almost every one knows that far ou t on the bowsprit of overy Bword fisherman there is a little open iron banded \pul pit,\ where tho harpooner, harpoon in hand, as his craft rides up to the side of his fearless game, which scorns to flee or turn aside from an y foe that assails him , that the harpoon is hurled into his side, or that when the mon ster, furious with pain nnd rage, bounds away, with a floating ke g at tached to the iron dart by fathoms of rope, or plunges into the northern most course of the ocean. The vessel sails after him, like n tireless hound on the trail of a fox, and the marine hunters have only to keep sight of him until ho has exhausted himself with his mad rushes through th e seas. When the tune comes, however—it may bo in half an hour, or it may be after twice that time— for the plucky spearsman to deal tho finishing stroke •io the doughty warrior, then, if ever, hunter and game meet on fairly even terms m a vulinnt tug-o'-war. Tho harpooner quits the vessel in a yawl, and with axe, or club, or spear pnllB hiB frail craft over th o rough waves to the side of the dying fish. It may be tho moribund giant is breath less and really exhausted, nnd, if so, tho harpooner has only to draw up . where ho has measured his bulky length upon the surface of the ocean, plunge his shurp spear into hi s heart or brain, or deal a crushing blow upon his head. But if tho big fellow is only feinting, there is likely to bo troublo. Sulkily and warily, but mo tionless, he notes the harpooner 's ad vance, and when the latter has driven hiB boat to a point not half a dozen rods away, all of a sudden the great fish arouses himself, shakes the lethargy out of his frame and the brino out of hi s glim mering eyos, measures tho place of his foo for an instant, then rushes upon him like a whirlwind. Rarely ever does he miss his drive, and the daunt less warrior, with swift and sinowy pkill and nervous sweep of paddles, is impotont to evade it. The fish cleaves the waves with the speed and fury of a war horse, a sudden dip beneath tho waves, lo 1 lie has gones; but the next instant tho oarsman, leaping into tho Btorn of his craft, hears a great rush of waters, as of a submarine volcano beneath him, and with the sound of ripping boat timbers, that part with the fragility of paper, a long, slender, brown black, hairy rapier is driven through tho cockle shell from side to side OB if tho lance of a galloping Cos- ' sack had cleft it. Lucky it is, indeed, for tho boatman that he, too, may not bo in lino with the irresistible straight thrust, for if ho is so the sharp slender bono sabre will split him , also, as swiftly and easily OB a cocjk skewers a chicken. Instances are not wanting in which a boatman has had both his legs speared throcigh by the sword of a .furious swordfish and himself firmly impaled to tho Bides of his yawl. Ono Block Islander was cleft in that way only last summer off Block Island Sound, and a year or two ago another hunter of tho marine swordsman was spitted in his seat, the bone blade go ing up into his body, an d h e died a few days later of tho frightful thrust. A wounded swordfish not rarely at tacks the schooner itself, and only a few seasons ago ono big fellow drove headlong into an island vessel, and his sabre went through its thick walls as if they were of paper, protruding by several inches into the vessel's cabin, when tho giant in his furious wrench ing to freo himself broke th e end of the blade, which fell on th e floor. It has been only within th e past three or four years that me n began to hunt .the big ugly chaps lor a steady ' and prohtablo vocation. Before that time the world fancied that th e flesh of swordfish was unfit for food, and the Atlantic fishermon hunted them only for the sport it afforded to th e idlers at summer seashore resorts. Then it was learned that a swordfish steak is about as fine and savory a morsel as may bo garnered in the broad ocoan— by far superior, in the opinion of country epicures, to halibut steaks, since it is jucior, with a peculiar game flavor— and since thon there ha s been everywhere ^in the\ Ne-sv^ England markets . at from twelve >to \\sixteen cents a pound, but Boston iB pre eminently the great market for them. Very singularly, New York, the great fish market of the continent, either has never tested or fails to be pleased with the fish, and not a pound, it is said, of sword- fish goes to tho Gotham markets. Thero is a steady demand for the swords, which may bo handsomely polished, so that they gleam' like ivory, oh the part of summer visitors to tho seashore or curio collectors at tho uniform price of fifty cents each, They are beautiful unique ornaments, unmistakably suggestivo of the sea. Swordfish range in size all the way from 250 to 600 pounds, and a few have been taken twenty-five miles southeast of Block Island that weighed 800 pounds. There is very little waste about them, their hide is fairly smooth, though tough and thick and hairy. They cut up finely into steaks an inch or so many inches thick as you are pleased to have them cut. They are xsacked in big boxes, iced, and sent fresh as a smelt right to the tables of tho New England consumers, —Now York Sun. Highbinders Use Air Guns. Tho Chinese highbinders of San Francisco have taken to the use of air- guns, which, being practically noise less, are better adapted to their mur derous purposes than noisy gunpowder. It is said to b o exceedingly dangerous to venture into Chinatown, oh account of tho constant shootinggoing on there, and several Americans were shot on tho confines of that interesting quar ter. During the past few days the Bhooling galleries have been thronged with Chinese practicing, and as this has been the case immediately beforo bloody outbreaks heretofore, the po lice look for troublo very shortly. There are at least 1000 highbinders in San Francisco and they are rendered desperate by the hard times, which have closed up many of the disreputa- blo places on which they were accus tomed to levy blackmail. The Chinese Consul has set Ohinese detectives to plenty of money in swordfishing, but watoh them, but the American officers on th'o NCK England coast ,'alone, and place little confidence in their ef- moro than a score of'swordfiebermen iflciency.—New Orleans Picayune. Sealing: In the Antarctic. It was with the produce of seals that we were destined to fill our ship, and till February 17th we wore literally up to the neck in blood. All the sails are stowed ; tho captain sits in the crow 'i nest from early morning till late in tho evening; the two engineers, re- lieving one another, take charge of the engines; the cook or the steward is on the lookout on deck or on the bridge ; and the doctor takes tho helm unless he can manage to get away in the boats, in which case some other noneombatants has to take his place all the rest are away after plunder. Now a full boat is making its way lo the ship. Wo 6team towar.d her. As we near, the engines aro stopped and she glides alongside. The cook or the steward rushes from tho lookout, the doctor from tho wheel, ono working the steam winch and the other un- switching the skinB, while tho boat's crew swallow a hasty meal. The boat being unloaded, they are off again for another fill. The greatest rivalry ex ists between the boats' crews, each en deavoring to get tho greatest load for tho day. Another boat is Been ap proaching, nnd away we go again dodging this piece of ice, charging that piece with our sturdy bows, bor ing away where the ico lies closely packed, rounding this berg, and on to tho next until we reach the boat, which is down to the gunwale in tho water, with its crew cautious, plying their oars as they lie orouched upon their bloody load. So it goes on from day to day; hay is made while the sun shines, and tho pile of skins and blub ber rises high upon the ship's deck, Then comes a gale of wind, accom panied by fog, sleet and Bnow, and wo lay to under tho loe of a stream of ice or a berg. The deck becomes busy with life, the blubber is \made off\ and put into the tanks, and the skins are salted. When tho gale is over, at tho end of two or three days, the next few days of calm weather aro again taken advantage of in the boats. Thus the periods of gales and calms which alternate in this part of tho world come in quite conveniently for sealing, the produce obtained in the enlm weather being \made off\ during the gales. We never experienced much swell, being sheltered by the land, our work lying only a little east of Erebus and Terror Gulf.—Popular Science Monthly, The Deadly Lockjaw. One of the most violent diseases that wo have, lockjaw, has at last been found to be curable, and where ninety- nine per cent, of thoso who contracted tho disease were before sure to die, wo now can rely upon nearly as largo a percentage of cures. This disease has been a mystery until quite recently. Why one should contract lockjaw by running a small tack, splinter or other substance into his body, and another escape all trouble, no one could under stand. It was supposed for a long time that certuin people had a predisposi tion to the disease, and tho least wound inflicted in this way would oanse lock jaw. But now_ that tho bacillus of lockjaw has been discovered wo know differently. This bacillus is in the shape of a drum-stick and contains a deadly poison. The bacillus is found everywhere in the surface soil of the streets or fields, and overy time we run any foreign substance into tho body we run the risk of getting lockjaw. The germs are all around us in tho dirt of streets, and this is why nails that aro run into the feet when walking on tho roads are apt to give tho person lockjaw. The bacilli have congregated on tho nail in great numbers, and whon introduced into tho system they got up a violent poison. A curious powder has now been obtained after a long series of experiments which will instantly kill the bacilli of lockjaw, and whon patients are suffering from tho dreaded disease an inoculation of tho substance will generally euro tho disease. The discovery of the cure quickly followed the discovery of the bacilli, and its habitation, and methods of growth.—Yankee Blade. STATE fEECORDS. UNIQUE PLAV GOVERNMENT AT TME r ;FAIR i Hovt' Uncle Sam's Department State is Carried On—Inter esting Collection of His torical Documents. T SITOBSto the World's Fair would never regret the jour ney taken nor tho expense in- - • .•' eurred, \if there were\rio other features presented for their inspection or enjoyment than thoso displayed by the United StateB Government, all of which are so closely connected with the Nation's history and development. Very few realize the amount of time and expense given to tho making of this display, and still fewer, perhaps, realize that it has never been equaled by any Nation, either in point of in terest or in the variety and number of Hs exhibits. The building alone covers an area of 345x-115 feet, constructed of iron and glass, and costing over 8100,000 before there was an article of any kind put in it. To give the reader oven an idea of what it contained would take columns and then leave but a vague impression of its most important features. Ever since Thomas Paine was dis missed by Congress for making an offi cial matter public in January, 1799, and the position of Secretary of the Committee of Correspondence vacated (which was really tho first position of Secretary of State), there has been an air of secrecy about Stato matters, maintained to a degreo of exasperation to those who have always favored a free and open American Government. The secrecy of matters of State has been one of traditional permission, however, in which the public, never questioning the right of this enjoyment on the part of those interested, have permitted the custom and accepted the inevitable. This, perhaps, more than any one thing, has prejudiced persons against the department in many ways, and it was to overcome this feeling and to establish closer relations.with the peo ple, that the greater portion of this display was made. The exhibit of the Department of State is divided into two parts, the first of which shows the working busi ness office; and the second tho Bureau of American History. This latter is the depository of all the records of the functions of Government. . The workings of the business depart ment aro shown by documents written in the various bureaus, a study of which will illuBtrato precisely tho man ner in which the department is opera ted and tho current business trans acted. The Bureau of American History showsfor the first time original volumes which contain records of tho Conti nental Congress and the writings o ' Washington, Jefferson, Madison am. Franklin. These documents cost the Government a great deal of money in tho making of tho collection. Some of the manuscripts, of course, fell into the hands of tho Stato Department by natural inheritance from the Conti nental Congress, when the State De partment waB firBt formed, in 1789, while others have been at different times purchased by Congress. The papers and private Congressional re cords bearing Washington's name and marks in his own handwriting, and which are shown in the collection, cost the Government S-15,000. They were purohaBod from Jared Spark's collec tions in 1834 and 1849. Among these are the diaries of Wash ington, in one of which ho writes in August, 1781, and which shows the kindly consideration ho had for the op pressed at all times, even in a land deal \Dined at David Beed's, after which Mr. JameB Scott and Squire Beed be gan inquiring whether I would part with tho land and upon what terms; adding that though they did not con- coive they could be disturbed, yet to avoid contention they would buy if my terms were moderate. I told thom I had no inclination to sell; however, after hearing a great deal of their hard ships, their religions principles (which had brought them togother as a society of- seceders) and unwillingness to sepa rate or romove, I told them that 1 would make them a last offer.\ These papers have never been per mitted out of tho State Department be fore this. For the Madison manu scripts, many of which aro very impor tant and valuable, tho Government pnid $25,000 in 1848. The Jefferson manuscripts and books cost §20,000 in 1849, nnd these, like tho former, have been arranged so as to make a complete historical exhibit of tho mo.nuscripts, books and pictures of the men. \* A facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, with tho Treaty' of Friendship (original), which gave the tho Thirteen States tho aid of tho French in the Revolutionary War, as well as the final-treaty with Great Britain, which torminated that war, lire features of the exhibit which are guarded-by marines through the day and locked in great steel safes,at night.' The wax seals aro a study in thom- solves. Thoy weigh fully a pound or more and are from four to six inches in diameter. Two heavy blue and red silk nnd gold thread cords, with heavy tasselri, are attached to tho manuscript treaty by the seals, and in order to preserve the seals intact they are in closed in solid silver boxes, engraved with the insignia or coats-of-arms of the two Nations on their respective covers. The seal of the United States, _ offi cial and perfect, is shown as it should be. The American eaglo must havo thirteen arrows in his talons and thir teen stars must be above his head and none on the shield, as is generally given. There is a full and complete sot of lithographs of the Secretaries of State from the very first down to Secretary Gresham, tho thirty-fifth. Among the collection of treaties ap pears the shark's tooth sent by the King of Samoan Isles. Thero is also the original treaty with Napoleon Bo naparte for the annexation of Louisiana and the original exchange treaty with Great Britain relative to establishing tho northeastern boundary of tho United States, signed by Daniel Web ster and Victoria Begins, in the •ixth yc#r of Her Majesty's reign. There is also an exhibit which con tains one'of the most valudblo\ papers, H outside of^the original Constitution and Declaration of Independence:\^!* DIS- | comprises* an original andXauthentid proclamation issued by every.-\JPre«»-^ dent of tho United States, signed by -.

On board the good ship \Vinconnes 'during a cruise in the Pacific Ocean, n party of English and American officers were one day in the cabin talking cheerfully of the Cape and the cruise, when, as if by magic, every counte nance chnnged. Spellbound for an in stant, all sat intently listening. There was a Btrange commotion in the ship. Then came that noise of hurrying feet, unaccompanied by the voice' of com mand, which, breaking the silence of a well-disciplined ian -of -war, and echo ing below, inspires a creeping fear of unknown evil. There were, too, half- suppressed exclamations of alarm, m which were caught the ominously cou pled words: \Shark!—Boy! - ' In a moment all were on deck. Glancing over the side rail, we saw in a rowboat moored to the end of tho side boom, a few feet from the side, one of the ship's boys, a bright, cheerful little fellow, standing erect, holding a bont -hook ready to strike. Gliding slowly toward him, scarcely rippling the surface of the water, through which its broad back could be plainly Been, was a great white shark—a \man-eater\—such as in former days followed in the wakes of captured slavers, prizes to Her Maj esty 's cruisers on the coLst. The crew of the Vincenues stood aghast, powerless to aid. Some called to the boy to lie down :_ the boat; others shouted to him l o pull away. But, wholly intent on the movements of the fearful creature, he did not hear them. We had not long to wait, the shark came on, raising its head out of the water, so that its sinister eyes could be seen. Pressing heavily on the wale of the boat, it borp down the side. We expected to see the boat roll over upon the shark, and held our breath Down came the iron-pointed boat-hook with all tho force a boyish arm could give it. A blow, aud then a quick thrust, and tho light boat, buoyant as a feather, slipped out from under the shark's head and righted herself. It was a gallant sight to see that sailor boy standing undaunted before what might, indeed, bo called the jaws of death. Bapidly and well did ho ply his weapon. The shark, baffled, drew back as if to take measure of the brave littlo fellow, preparatory to a final rush which should seal the boy's fate. In that perilous instant, cool and collected, seizing the painter with one hand while he pointed the boat- hook with the other, to ward off tho shark's attack, the boy quickly drew the boat under the rope-ladder, nnd, springing up, climbed to the boom, along which he tripped lightly to tho ship.—St. Nicholas.

It was in Honduras, near tho Carib bean Coast, that 1 first saw tho warrior ant, says a writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal—theso 6trong insects which march through tho tropical for ests in armies, attacking every living creature in their path One intensely [ hot day a native came running in, and in excited gestures bado rue follow him I did so wonderingly. There on ! the rolling savannah btretched a wide, ' black belt, extending far back into tho deep shadows of the adjacent forest. It rose nnd fell with every formation of the ground, and, like a huge snake, slowly crept towards the village. | In countless multitudes they swarmed > over the plain, inarching in compact order like a well-drilled army. Befoi-d , them scurried a heterogeneous mass of i lizards, grasshoppers, frogs, beetles and all other manner of insects and i reptiles in a wild scamper to escape to ' a place of safety Presently the ad- ! vance guard reached my hut and dis appeared within ; then tho main column ! appeared, and soon the roof, floor, walls and rafters were black with them. J Like the soft rustle of dried grass • stirred by a gentle breeze came tho sound of their presenco in the loaves of my thatched roof. The sound in creased in loudness as the rate, mice, lizards, cockroaches, centipedes and others of their ilk had long made tho roof thoir home triod vainly to escape. Some succeeded m getting away from the house, but only to fall victims to tho surrounding hordes without. Ono large cockroach I noticed made a plucky fight, but, overpowered by numbers, ho gradually relaxed his ef forts and was soon dismembered, each ant carrying off a portion of his body as a trophy. The most exciting battle was with a snake about three feet long that fried to slip away unseen. Tho ants quickly surrounded him, however, and fought with terrible ferocity. With every switch of his tail the snako killed a score of his tormentors, but their places wero soon rilled by tho black swarm that swept unceasingly on. Finally the writhing of the snako be came fainter and fainter, and at last ceased entirely, and then, and not mi' til then, did tho ants relinquish their attack. All day long they marched through the house, until at sundown tho end of tho column had passed and was lost to view in the thickness of-tho forest. I afterwards learned thaWthc warrior ants refuse to touch any food that they thomselves have not caught and slain, which.accounted for my pro visions remaining unmolested. IMPROVED EUREKA X8S3.
