A judicial farce was enacted in the
state circuit court at Portland last Fri
day. Judge Smith sentenced Frank
Fnsbie, the bank thief, to one year in
the penitentiary. Frisbie stole a large
amount of money from his employers,
and skipped to New York with his wife,
where ne was arrested, brought back,
tried and found guilty. Had lie tried to
steal $3, as did O. C. Perry, he would
have got three years, as Perry did, but
having succeeded in stealing a thousand
times that amount, he becomes high
toned, and the judge almost apologizes
as he tearfully gives him one year. This
is putting a premium on dishonesty, and
is to be noticed only to be condemned.
The most notable curiosity brought to
The Astobian office during the past week
was a skate's nest. This nest was torn
from the bottom of the sea, and is in it
self a curiosity; it is formed like a boat,
is of the size of a split cocoanut shell,
and is made of some integumont about
the color and consistency of morocco. A
thin membrane on top protected the
three eggs which it contained, and which
were preserved intact. One of the eggs
had just hatched out, and the young
skate lies ready to be initiated into the
ways and manners of life at the bottom
of the ocean. The fish is about the size
of a two-bit piece, but is an exact fac
simile of the large skate that lay in front
of Bergman & Berry's last Thursday.

TRAPPING A WHALE.

Philadelphia Times."!
''Ship a whale to Europe?'
"That's what I'm a-tellin' ye."
"A live Tvhale?", questioned the doubt
er.
"Yes," was tho reply, "as lively a whale
as ever ye clapped your eye on.'
Tho speaker was a fisherman of note
of a very small town on tho Island of
Bic, near the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and
his statement that he was about to ship
a whale to Europe had rather staggered
his listener.
"Why," he continued, "I've done it
already, and it ain't likely I cant do it
again. I kin ship anything, from a cod
fish to a whale, and if they foller myor
ders the goods'll git there ship-shape and
lively, right side up with care. This is
what I ship 'em in," said the fisherman,
painting to a box about 20 feet by seven
that had evidently just been put togeth
er. "No, I ain't goin' to put n sail on it
and beat over I kin beat that all holler.
Bat come down along and I'll show you
how the thing is done.'
A few minutes later a pair of horses
and a low set of wheels were brought
out, .and by the aid of levers tho big box
was mounted or pried upon them, and
getting aboard with the fishermen the
writer was soon lumbering down toward
the sandy beach.
"Don't git out," said tho fisherman, as
the horses entered the water. 'Stay for
the lauuehin'. she'll hold you and twenty
more.
The wheels were driven in until the
box into which the writer had jumped
floated clear off tho wheels, and the
launch was successfully made. The
craft might have been a running mate
to Noah's ark, and was to receive ani
mals much after the same fashion.
There was a rope in the inside, to which
was attached a rock, and this tho writer
tossed out and so prevented a sail on the
broad river.
"Does she leak?" asked the fisherman
anxiously, after he had turned the horses
toward shore, and, upon receiving a neg
ative, he added, "Wall, that's a blessin'.
She ain't caulked, and I thought she
might swell. Wait ! minute and I'Jl
take ye off," and the team was driven
ashore, while the writer patiently waited
in the ark.
The situation was rather novel than
otherwise, and while wo were attempting
to realize how the whale would feel box
ed, the fisherman appeared in sight round
a point and we were soon transferred to
a boat, the box being taken in tow.
HABPOOXING A WHITK WHA1.K.
"Ye see that bay-like up yonder?" said
the oarsman. "Wall, that's the greatest
place for white whale ye ever heard of.
They come in at high tide in reg'lar
droves like, with porpoises and grampuses
and swim around, feedin' like as not, then
go out with the tide. The tide here falls
about eighteen foot, more or less, and
this bay's all bare at low water."
Tho box was towed into the middle of
the bay, where it was anchored to a stake.
"As wo can't do anything till the tide
goes down," said our companion, "spos
in' we go out and tackle a whalo or so.
Ever do any harpoonin' ?" ho asked, as
he shipped the mast and shook out the
little sail. "Wall, it's a good sport and
I reckon I kin give ye a taste."
The sheet was drawn aft, and catching
tho brisk northeast wind the little craft
laid over and bore away for tho middle of
tho river, where quite a sea was running.
"They like to come in with the tide,
somehow,' said tho fisherman, "and when
there's a west wind that works up a bic
sea when the tide's against the sen they
seem to line it all the more, and keep a
rollin' in and out as long as it lasts.
There's one now," pointing to a white ob
ject that appeared for a moment glisten
ing in tho sun and from which camo a
puff. "I guess we're goin' to strike 'em
good."
The mast was now unshipped, the sail
furled and the boat propelled by the oars
man, who sat aft, while tho writer took
his position in the bow to become initiated
in the science of white whale fishing. The
harpoon was a slender pine pole, about
fifteen feet long, litho and willowy, the
spear being of steel and having two points
with incurved barbs, that worked on p
hinge and set into a notch, so that littlo
resistance was offered when a victim was
struck, the barbs only turning out when
an attempt was made to withdraw the
weapon. The spear fitted on to the pole
by a socket, and was in turn made fast
to a long lino that was carefully coiled up
in a tub in tho bow.
"Now, then," said the fisherman, as the
amateur took the harpoon and assumed
a professional attitude cribbed from the
"Whaler's Own Book," "I kin put ye
within ten foot, most likely, and you want
to take him right abaft the blowholo if
ye kin; that seems to settle 'em about as
quick as anything."
The writer had gained tho barraconda
and pegged green turtles at fifteen or
twenty feet on the Florida reef, and
therefore felt encouraged. For a fourth
of a mile tho little boat was propelled
down stream, tossing and rolling in the
heavy sea, when suddenly a great dome
like white head appeared hardly fifteen
feet away; a loud puff sounded, on the
air and a faint spray for a second caught
the sunshine. If there had been time
the harpooner would have succumbed,
probably to something akin to the buck'
fever the symptoms were there but,
rallying, the harpoon wps raised and, by
good luck, took tho ghostly creature fafr
in the back just as ho was diving to re
turn. "Bully for ye!" shouted the rower, as a
barrelful of water struck the harpooner
full in the face, being tossed from the
animal's tail. "You hit him good."
A WET RIDE,
This was evidently the case, as the line
was whizzing out of the tub with light
ning speed.
"Ye'd better git aft afore tho end
come3," said tho fisherman. "There's
so much sea runnin' that ho might drown
us if she's down at the head."
The suggestion was acted upon, and
none too soon, as the flying cord was
quickly .exhausted and came taut with
a jerk. The bow of tho boat was buried
deeply in the water, then rose bravely on
the waves and dashed off behind the
stricken whale.
"It ain't particularly dry," remarked
the oarsman.-wiping the spray from his
face and taking up the bailer.
The boat was taking the waves as they
came, then going through some and over
others, hurling the spray ten feet in the
air. all in all working up quite an excite
ment and considerable anticipation, as
every sea threatened to enguir the little
craft, and once full the occupants and
boat furniture would be speedily floated
out and left behind. In going half a mile
the boat was half full of water and it re
quired but littto calculation to show that
a, mne wouiu uriuj; luuin ia u uiimax.
"We must nit alongside or let her go,"
said the old man, as the boat dashed into
a larce sea. "Wo can't stand this. '
The line was in a notch, at the bow and,
getting aft, both occupants took hold and
hauled tho line in whenever an opportu
nity offered. Every haul seemed to in
crease tho speed of the flying animal and
finally one was obliged to bail while the
other took in the slack. For nearly an
hour this bailing and hauling was kept
up, the whale now slackening and then
starting up with renewed energy, until
finally It breached 200 feet from the boat
and rolled over for several minutes, a
sure sign that it was weakening.
"If ye want to finish the business,"
said the whaler, "FH put ye alongside
while ho'a rollin' and ye kin givo him the
lance." .
Tho volunteer accordinclv took the unlv
weapon that was about a foot off tho end
of a scytho lashed on to a bladeless oar,
and, with a rush, the whale was boarded.
A tremendous rush of water nearly
swamped tho boat at tho outset, but the
animal was alongside and it was but the
work of a moment to send tho terrible
instrument into the creature, that gavo a
convulsive bound, cleared the boat and
lay thrashing wildly just out of reach.
"One clip of that tail would finish us,'
said tho fiBherman, backing water to
avoid tho rushes of tho animal. "Pvo
seen 'em mash a boat just like paper, but
you finished her, sure enough."
Tho whalo was evidently dead, and,
after putting another into its head, it
was fastened astern and tho pull shore
ward commenced.
ox a whale's HACK.
"We take the white whales shoot in
sometimes," said the rower, "and the last
one I took last season got a joke on me
thut ain't quite wore off yet. We went
out in a gang that day, some with rifles
and some with harpoons, and I reckon
there was ten bots (boats) all told, and
right down by the month of the creek we
struck a school of 'em, so big that there
was nothing but heads a-poppin' up all
around. When we got into tho lot the
boys began a shootin' and strikin' and
got so mixed up that wo didn't know
where wo was for a while. My boy had
my harpoon, and the only thing I got
holt on was a lance, jest like this, and as
I was standin in the bow a big white
whale came up under me. I let drive and
sunk the lance into him about two foot,
and at the same moment one of the
other boats struck us richt amidships.
I lost my balance, and afore I knew it I
was a-settm on that old whale s uacK,
hangin' onto tho pole, and goin' along
like greased lightnin'. The boys set up
a yoll, and made way for me, and off I
went.
"Ye see," continued the speaker, "the
water was only about four foot, and the
critter couldn't dive, so I jest clung to it.
First she struck in shore, and then skirt
ed along the beach, a-snortin' and puffin'
and beatin' the water with her tail so't vou
could hear her clean across the bay. But
she couldn't shako mo off. I jest clung
to the handle, and let her rip, and pretty
soon when we came to a -Hhoal place I
beached her, or. she beached me. don't
know which. Anyway, I reckon I'm tho
first one that ever rode a whale in these
diggin's."
A BEAUrtFUL CHKATUEK.
The boat was now in shore so that the
whale grounded, and a beautiful creature
it was a pure, creamy white, about 12
feet in length, with a graceful, rounded
head, that seemed more disconnected
from tho body than is general with
whales, and it is said that the white
whale is tho only one that can movo its
head from sido to side at all. The side
fins were small, the tail broad and richly
pointed an organ of great power. Sci
entifically, the white whale is the Beluga,
and they are found in great numbers
about tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, and
further north. They attain a length of
t wenty-three feet, and are valued for their
hide, which is tanned into leather, and
the oil from the blubber, tho latter being
generally esteemed by workers in delicate
machinery. The Indians eat the flesh and
the Esquimaux use the bones, so that all
in all the creature is quite useful.
When we landed, the box that had been
towed into the bay was high and dry bo
side a great hole that had been excavated
on a previous tide. The fisherman now
obtained several assistants, and tho hole
being made larger, the box was finally
lowered into it so that it was almost on a
level with tho surrounding bottom. A
lid was put on by leather straps, but left
open and the trap was ready. The little
bay in which the pit was sunk had a nar
row opening, and at high tido when the
ebb was about commencing, a number of
boats took a large, coarse seine and haul
ed it across the opening.taking their places
in front of it and sitting, with oars in
hand, to frighten back tho whales should
they venture down.
It was a matter that required some pa
tience, but gradually as the tide went
out, the boilinc and breaking of the
water and tho occasional view of a round
head told that some whalo had been en
trapped. As the water became lower and
lower the commotion became greater, and
finally tho forms of seven whales were
fairly exposed, rushing about, running
out of water in shoal spots, and making
fierce breaks at the nets and boats, only
to be driven back by yells, shouts and
blows from the boats, until finally the
water went down so that all the white
beauties were stranded. Tho boats then
moved in and, as expected, in the sunken
box was one of the whales, about ten feet
long.
"Ye see the trick of it,' said our fish
erman. "The box gits full of water and
is always the deepest spot, and when the
whales seo the wator a-goin' they go for
deeper holes, if they can find them. So
this one settled here, and here she is, all
boxed."
The box had been partly lined with sea
weed so that the creature could not hurt
itself, pnd presented a strange appear
ance, the room being so limited that only
an undulatory movement could be made
with the tail, but showing what a power
ful organ it was. The box was now packed
with more seaweed, all the spaces being
filled up around it, and, finally, the lid
being closed and fastened, work was
postponed until next tide, when the water
was again in, and a good-sized sloop was
anchored over the spot. A tackle was
slung from a boom attached to rope han
dles on the end of the box. The end was
then put around the windlass, and the
box and contents soon hoisted to tho sur
face. Other bands were now placed about
it, to prevent it from bursting open, and,
as the water ran out, it was gradually
hoisted on to tho deck of tho sloop, and
placed amidships. The whale was now
entirely out of water, lying in a bed of
wet seaweed.
SHIPPED ALIVE TO ENGLAND.
"There ain't one person in a hundred,"
said the whaler, "that knows that a
whale can live out of water. Now that
feller won't have a swim for two weeks,
or, more likely, three. The only thing
they do is to dash a bucket of water over
it about every hour or so and keep the
seaweed wet, and I ain't no doubt but
what he'd go a month all right. We take
him from here to Quebec, that'll take
two days, I reckon; then it goes on to a
steamer that takes it to England. Two
men go with it. They watch for four
hours off and on and keep puttin' water
on the seaweed.
"Who is it for? I don't know exactly,
but I know the man that pays tho money
is takhV it over on a spec. Some of
them aquariums offered $1,000 if he'd
deliver the whale in the tank alive and
it lived two months. So he's goin' to try
it. Td take the chanoes myself if I had
the money. It costs about $200 to de
liver it. We sent ono to the Brighton
Aquarium, England, and I heard tell it
lived six months."
The explanation of tho fact that whales
can be so transported lies in the fact
that they are warm-blooded mammals,
the same as cows, nursing their young,
and do not breathe water, but air, taking
enough at every blow to last half an
hour or so, only requiring water to moist
en tho parts and as a medium in which
to move and for which they are adapted,
so that with care a whale can be kept
out of water some time. If the experi
ment was carefully made they, perhaps,
could be forced to give up the "water and
live as does the manatee, so at least the
evolutionists think.

THE FDTDBE OF THE BOT.
An exchange thinks "the boy' and by
this term it includes boys in tho aggre
gate ought to feel highly complimented
by the universal interest manifested in
his future. If, it says, anybody has
failed to ask, "What shall we do with our
boys?" the failure is not conspicuous.
There seems to be n sort of growing con
cern lest the boys shall not bo sent out to
engage in the battle of life urmed to the
teeth, so to speak. Looking back through
tho stray leaves of journalism for fifty
years, we find no particular concern man
ifested as regards the boys until within
tho last dozen years. Perhaps tho boys
hewed out their own destiuies in the other
days of which we speak. When we come
to think of it, it is only necessary to look
around us and mark the quality of the
mass of middle-aged men to ascertain
what was done for, with, and by the boys
of half a century ago. It is a little singu
lar that nobody has traced the man of
to-day back to the boy of yesterday.
There he stands, not only as one who has
solved tho problem of himself, but as
ono of the millions who have assisted in
making this tho most notablo ago in
historic time. For this is a remarkable
age, and the boys of fifty years ago and
later have made it remarkable. Some
of them learned trades, some
became inventors and discoverers of new
truths, and some studied how be3t to an-
ply what was already known to the solu
tion of tho problem of human destiny.
On the other hand, a good many of the
boys of fifty years ago and later either
died young, perished in buttle or in hos
pitals, or fell into evil courses, and land
ed in tho various penitentiaries. Some
but not many became subjects for tho
gallows, and ended their shameful careers
there. More of them by loose manage
ments in our courts escaped justice, and
enjoy a species of heroism .among the
baser sort. The boy of these days should
take a serious survey of the boys of fifty
years ago. He will in that way learn that
tho boys of that age were compelled to
hew out their own careers: and that
enough of them did it, and did it well, to
mako this age one of tho most remarkable
of any on record. Not every boy then
learned a trade. But every boy is now
asked to learn a trade, nut any boy may
well have some trade in reserve, because
he cannot be sure that a trado will not one
day stand like a faithful sentinel between
him and an ill-spent life. It is complained
of tho boys of to-day that they are too
proud to work. That ought to be a libol
on the boys. Tho world is not now a
howling wilderness, simply because
the boys of tho past were not too
proud to work. Professional life
has its fascinations, but it has
also its vexations. A clever boy
may not always mako a clever lawyer, a
skiUful doctor, or an effective preacher.
He cleverness may relate to skilled-labor
with his hands, or to invention, or to in
telligent farming. At all events, a suc
cessful tradesman, farmer, carpenter, or
machinist, is fully equal to the success
ful professional man in the development
of a nation. Tho future of the boy de-
Sends upon the boy himself, mainly,
'obody can do more for him than to put
the tools with which successful lives are
fashioned into his hand's and teach him
their power. Nobody can wield the tools
for him any more than anybody can
walk for him, eat for him, or sleep for
him. Ho will be at the last what he
makes of himself. Somebody may take
credit for his making, perhaps; but some
body will take. credit for what ho has
not done in that case. When ono man
says of another, "I made him," examine
the work. If it be good, be sure that the
making was not let out by the job to
anybody. Men make themselves hu
manly speaking and are not mado by
other men. Other men havo an influence
for good or evil upon tho lives around
them, but the responsibility is with every
man by himself at last.
