Fresh from the government Drint
ing office i3 received a bulky volume,
the report of the U. S. fish commis
sion, a long account of the fishery
industries of the United States.
Though just issued, the usefulness of
the book is somewhat marred by the
fact that the report is for the year
j.oau eigut years ago. it is believed
that in the course of the next year
the government printing office will
have in type and ready for printing a
report of the crucifixion of Christ,
from original manuscript furnished
by eye-witnesses of that historic
scene. That will be about as enter
prising a3 to send The Astobiax in
the first days of the fiscal year of
1889 a report of the fish commission
of 1880. In this finely printed work,
which 13 on the desk before us, are
pages upon page3 of description of
how they used to catch fish in Massa
chusetts in 1G23, and the Columbia
river salmon fisheries are dismissed
with 32 lines. It is of the utmost
importance that the Cocasset Indians
and the exploits of Massassoit and
bow things were dono in Maine and
Nova Scotia in the year sixteen hun
dred and fast asleep, should havo any
amount of space, but so trivial an in
dustry ns that of the Columbia river
salmon fisheries in the year of our
Lord 1880, only needs 32 linei. The
book is well printed on good paper
and nicely bound, with pretty gilt
letters on the back.

A Warning.
The mode's of death's approach are
various, and statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of -the Throat and Lungs than
any other, it is probable tliat every
one, withont exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start iuto life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in tho throat and if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Mow all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon ns you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob
tain a bottle of Boschco's German
Syrup. -It will give you immediate
relief.

"Tho song that made tho greatest and
most lasting impression on me,", said a
delegate from the south to the Domo
cratio convention, "was ono that I had
heard often, and had become familiar
with. It was not so much tho song that
impressed mo, but tho combination of
circumstances, the time, rriaco and man
ner of its singing. It happened this way:
We were down on a little semi-tropical
river known as tho St. Marks in Florida.
Tho waters are dark and heavy, and the
stream winds along through an impene
trable jangle of palmettoes, live oaks
and cypress trees filled in with a dense
underbrush that nothing but snakes can
get through. It was a good while after
sundown, and we were still far up the
river about two miles from the littlo
steam launch which we had come up the
coast in. Those on the boat felt a little
uneasy at our late return, and decided to
send out somo men to call us home. A
heavy sponge-boat was manned with six
stalwart negroes who were instructed to
row ud a counle of miles and shout for
ns. We were pulling. leasurely down
stream wnen wo nearu tne negroes iar
away singing as they rowed along.
'Suwanee River' was tho air, but the way
thoso negroes sang it I will never forget.
One with a-shrill, waiting voice carried
tho air, while tho other five, with voices
MTminf down to the deerjeat bass, wonld
join in every few seconds with snatches
ol tuo song, wo just dropped our oars
and listened until they canght sight of
us, when the singing came to an abrupt
end, and nothing could induce them to
ropeat the song."
"OLD BLACK JOE."
When Central Turner Hall wa3 rincintr
with German volks lieder and the strains
of Wagnerian marches, when the hoch!
hochl of enthusiasm mingled with tho
gush of the frothy beer, a band marched
into the hall at the head of a column of
singers playing with all its energy the
ancient negro melody, "Old Black Joe."

when there was a girl who woro "A Dark

singer of a German-American youth in

he said, 'wo will bo there to-mcht.!' On''
hearing this news the officers prep'yred

was-brewed and placed on the cabin

jotted down a few verse3 on tholwckaof

with great applause, spread like wildfire

"iL TEOYATOHE."
I'll never forset a littlo thins that oc
curred a few years ago in Ottawa, Cana
da, wnere i was living nt tne time, said
Dr. II. F. James, the veterinary surgeon,
tho other day. "In those days I was
somewhat of a singer and bad n thrilling
baiytone voice. One evening I was at a
sociar gathering and by request sang a
little selection from 'Trovatore.' Thero
was nothing particularly brilliant nhout
the music, boyond the usual su'eetuess of
Verdi, and I'm sure my voice was not
more than usually melting on that even
ing, but just as tho last words died away
a lady who was present fell into hysterics
and we could not revive her for some
time. I was not over-complimented, J
can assure you, at tho effect of the per-
iormance. wmen, were it not lor tno
gravity of the cause, might havo beed
construed into something akin to tho
ridiculous. I afterwards learned, how
ever, that the effect was not at all oc
casioned by any harshness in the song or
tne rendition, but mat it was duo to tuo
fact that the young lady's husband had,
two years previously, dropped dead of
heart disease in a theater just nt tho
moment the barytone had linished the
air I had sung. She was devotedly in
love with the young man and could never
after hear tho musio of 'Trovatoro' with
out pain. We all felt sorry for her, but
the mischiof had been done. I vowed
then novor to sing ngain nnd l'vo kept
my oath."
Thomas E. Garrett, who was for vears
dramatic editor of tho Jfissoiiri Repub
lican, wrote ono ot tno prettiest and
most popular negro melodies ever sung.
It was called "Belle Brandon" and had a
run for years, every nogro minstrel in tho
country singing it. This was before tho
war, but even to-day the old-timors can
sometimes be heard whistling the air as
they stroll along tho street.
"COAL-BLACK E03E."
"Amonc the first popular songs I re
member," remarked Judge Charles F.
Cady, "wero 'Coal-Black Hose' and 'Jim
Crow.' which wero sunc bv old Tom Itice.
the father of negro minstrelsy. Then
followed tho 'Long-Tail Bluo' and 'Zip
jooa. written ana sunc uv uoorce Wash
ington Dixon. These wero all way back
in tho thirties. Dixon was quite a min
strel and really had a streak of negro in
him. although it was not cencrallv
known. He passed for white and asso
ciated only with whites. Ho published a
