REVELSTOKE, OCT. 81.1891. Precocious. One day at sohool I told tbo boys 'Twas wrong to chew tobacco ; A six year-old, grown very bold, Presumed to give bis veto. Snys be, " I saw a fellow clmw Lii-causn he bad the toothache; 'Taint very wrong for any ono To chew that has Iho toothache." Tlip school ucreeil with him; indeed. His logic charmed the urchins. Quite pnzzled, I could scarce reply At first to his assertions. A happy thought however brought Relief froni Greely's namesake. ���'Horace," I said, "if a girl instead Should ohance to have the toothache, And want to chow, what should she do?" Like older ones bj time unschooled He scratched hia head, and then he paid, "She'd orterhave tho tooth pnll'd." THE "DISTRESSFUL COUNTRY." Opening the Ball at Cork. The Cork contest is becoming exciting. On Sgr-rjay Cinin O'Ma- hony, while he was pelting mud at O'Connor, varied the occasion at intervals by daring Rt-dmond and his friends to venture to Black Rock, aud tbey accepted the challenge, Redmond and John O'Connor, M.P., with bands and a crowd of partisans wi-ut to Black Rook iu answer to Canon O'Mahony's onallenge, They marched boldly into tho parish. Tbeanti Paruellites were waiting for tbem with trailing coats and shil lelahs, Tho meeting of the two parties was iiUenrt-.-d by great excitement. The aiitLParnelii es showered sticks and stones nud mud on tli..'-- .a(,p iru'nu. xue I'ariielliti-B, who were armed with Btout black- thorns, remaiue.l tirm and sternly under thg vollsy of mil.1, and after the Iirst attuok charged and routed their opponents, Then the victors heli} their meeting on the field while thai' enemies skulkei away with bruised und bloody hea-ls, The meeting was very enthusiastic, anil after it the Parncllites reti*ruod jahi lant to Cork, John O'Connor, M. P., who ie canvassing in the interest of J. E. Red mon, complains of being followed, while calling on voters, by Canon O'Muliony and other priests, who openly denounoed him as being "one of Ivittie O'Shea's men," and who told the people to hupt f-iin from their hours. Mr. Redmond, annoyed at certain statements made by Mr. Healy, says if the lutti-r continues to abuse him he will publicly slup bis face in the BlreolB of Cork, even if ho gets six months for doing so. John Dillon bus ultcrcd his tone somewhat, as the Liberal party were alarmed and surprised nt his lust speech, jn which ho advised the tenants not to accept auy concession from the British Government, lie addressed u demonstration of work- inginen nt Duiidiiik Saturday, and made a flattering appeal for their support. He dilated upon tho Biupi.)iiv .i',.j,-,u, t,o nnu.rel with England after ull tho trouble and time that his been occupied iu securing her friendship, I.t was a terrible thing to r/-ik Ireland, with her steadily dwindling population, to break with Gladstone at tho risk of postponing homo rulo another do- cade. If this spirit of faction is permitted to spread, before two years were over they would have aa many parties as there are Irish members and bo as they wero fifteen years ago, whon every man was for himself. The McCarthyitos held a meeting in Cork on Tuesday, at the close of whioh a largo body of police esoor- tcd Dillon and O'Biieu to their hotel. Every now aud thcu a Pnr- nellito in tho crowd would bowl and swing u shillelub ur���mud his hoed and mako a dash for thu McCarthy- it-.fl. Tho police would then chargo aud roBtore order for lho moment, At length the Purnoliites grew uncontrollable and yolls of "murderers," "English Liokspits," and other epithets saluted the McCarthy ites. The latter then turned on their assailants. Missiles of all kinds flew through the air and tbe orien of defiance became louder nnd louder. The blood flowing from injured heads and l}inbs, the groans from the wouuded, the fierce fury of tho combatants and the ebb nnd flow of tho tido of buttle as the advantage veered to either side, gave a realistic pi.Uuro rcocmlaliug somewhat the euinmuuist rising in Paris. The mounted constabulary were hurriedly formed iu cider for a charge. It was a dangerous duty, for deadly missiles were flying on every baud, and the order was given to out right between the two parties, where the pi lice would receive the volleys from both. N.-t a constable flinched. They formed as perfectly ns on parade und sturted on tho gallop on tbe word of commanJ. The order was f" slrike only with tho fiats of their sabres and there is no reason to belinve that, under the great provocation, is was disobeyed. As the constaplec spurred forward the volleys of missiles grew thicker, for each side was sure that if they missed each other they would at least hit a polioeiuau. The police were peisisteut, however, aud at length succeeded in breading up the riot. A Mournful Wedding Day. There was to have been a marriage ut a house on Pembroke Street, Victoria, one day thin week, In the midst of Um plea-. blint excitement incidental to such au cvenl the groom w.-.b handed a .ahl gram Irom Glasgow, the conteuls of which transformed the whole eeone from one of gaiety iulo one of grief, It un�� uounced thut the father, mother, brother and sister in-law of tho prospective groom had been iu a railway accident in Bcoiluod, lhe three latter being killod instantly, while thoro was littlo or do hope of the father's recovery. The poor follow, (Jen-dyed of all hi? immediate relatives buvc one brothor, who had forwarded tho sad news, on reading lho cubic* gram, fainted. On returning to consciousness* ho kept repeating lho hope that his father at least had been spared. To etiso bis anxiety on the point a cablegram was sent io Glasgow inquiring as to the fato of tho father, and soon al'lcrwards cumo tho sad intelligence thai ho, loo, was dead, The effect of this was to completely prostriUp tbo poor fellow with grief, and although cveryono is full of sympathy, no ono can help bim just now, iNccdloss to any tho wedding did not tako placo ibat day.

Kootenai's New Town. Another lively town has sprung into eiiislanco in Kootenai coun*. try. Us name is Granite. A week ago one of tbe hncliist nnd most desolate spots on Hie Northern Pacific rai.way was Granite station, at tbo foot of Granite hill, twenty seven miles wost of Kootenai. The lono operator had nothing to keep bin company iu his night vipils but lhe desolato gray bluffs or the oc- cujuioiial scream ol some wild animal. Now all is changed. A crowd ol nun swurm around e.ich train, and a town is springing up. A half dozen saloons and a store are in course of erection, and a restaurant or I wo prospeotives, The occasion ot ull tbis is the building of a nine-mile cutoff on tho Northern Pacific. Tbo work commences at Granite station with a tunnel 410 feet long, and ibo headquarters will tie at. Granite. Il is reported that 900 will be employed. The work is very heavy.--Spokane Review. -��a- Difficulties of Surveying in Idaho.

Three weeks ago we published a j>ni,iKi���|,h vouueiuiuaj tlao nUcuijJtcil shooting of a cariboo from the deck of tho steamer Lytton as Bhe was (���teaming up the Columbia. This paragraph is going the rounds of tbe press, aud we find it has reaohed so far as Spokane Falls.

It will ooarcoly overtake the first, though. Ou Saturday night Mr. Hamilton of the "Senato" placed a pint of new milk on a table iu his kitchen and shortly afterwards was called to attend some business in the barroom. On his return he was surprised to find tbe milk jug quite empty. Thinking it might have been "the eat," be topk littlo notiee of the loss; but just then bis attention was drawn to the dirty murks uf a puir of huge lips. Now, as tho oat does not drii k with her lips, it destroyed the theory as to that maligned felino being tbe thief. It was evident that tbo present thief was a inost"dirty" one, for the uteu-il bore the marks of the finger tips as well as thn contact of the sweet rosebud of a mouth. Mr. Hamilton wishes to make it known to the purloiuer that he can have another pint of milk if ho will only corne buek and wash the filth off the uiilk jiituhfir, A dog was accidentally present during divino service in a Scotch kirk, where the worthy minister was in the habit of sponkips vory loud in the sermon, uud, in iact, when ho tQl warmed with bis subject, ol shouting almoBt at the lop of bis voice.

Fishing on tlie Columbia Twenty Yours Ago. AVo extract the following from an old newspnper, which shows how an ingenious conl'lvanoo scooped tho salmon out of our river somo years ago: "Barrels are very pi. ntiiul this morning, captain. This is the third we have met during tho last twonly minutes. Where do thoy come from'!" It was Capt, Join II. Wolf, the veteran master of tiiu Columbin lliver steamer Wide Wost, which uffords u much pleasaoler j iiinn-y limn llio cars from ilotitievilio 10 the Dalles. "Well, sir," said the captain in reply, "lliey como from tho Cas cades. II you should examine any one of them you might bo surprised. Sou wouliin'timagitic, wuuld you. ibat ihose barrels, though empty, cany a more valu.blo cargo under than most c.sks do in them? Ttiosc barrolo arc buoys. They sustain each about 2'jO lbs. Weight oi salmon, alive, strung throught lho eyes, on their way to llio canneries down the river. There they have little steam-launches which pick lip every one aud tow them in," "How aro so many fish caught? I haven't noticed any nets today." "Nets aro of no account now, Co and soo tho snail," said the captain, as ho bent over and rang the slowing boll for tlio D.illes. Some timo after I saw the f'Snuil," and a must ingenious, successful, detestable engine of destruction it was, Tlio owner had admirably planted il just above tho Upper Cascades, ou lho north sido oi the rivor, the soillli bank being impassable lu tho fish. It was placed jusi where the swifl edge of lho current mukes a most inviting eddy, through which llio salmon most naturally "run" on thoir cay up stream, llcro tho current Was iiboul eighl feci deep, The salmon novcr swim lower than four feel below the suiface. Kreoicl tbey that few survive, Tho wheel presents a busy scene, and the profits nnisl to enormous; for the simplo contrivarco co��ts hut about $100, and roquires about half-a-dozen attendants. There arc four of those wheels on tho river, and a gentleman engaged in I lie (idling bueiiicss informed me that tlio calculation was they caught about one half the s.ilmon ���hat go up, There is a wheel on Drtidgord's Island, above Bonneville, the work of which hit) become so noiorious (uol merely killing merchantable fish, bnt in so doing destroying a dozen limes ns ninny of a size as yd too am.ill for commerce) that the publio press has demanded its ���'iippi'cs.'i.Hi. But all these wheels, us I tie been paid, ore "iho production of a bruin which aims to live without work.' Probably from 2,500 to 8,000 salmon (for tlio proprietors of the wheels arc very chr��ry about givin ���- actual figures), large end small, ire caught every hour, night and day, of tho week, save from Saturday to Sunday night. Compute lhc amount. I know ol ono nomal calch of 0,100 salmon in a Jay���largo fish, suitable for the canneries. An experienced fisherman stated it as tho result of his observation that about one in ten of thoso caught wero used, Even of the imn.bor used, packed aud f-ent, down iu barrels, ono wheel kept tlie largo cannery at Warrendule busy all through tbe season, and tlien tho Cannery couldn'l tako care of all.
