AN ANGLER'S STOUY,
SAVE FROM 25 TO 50 PER CENT
THE
A Florida Fisherman's Big Luck, and
How He Utilized It.
The Florida fishermen -are like all
the rest of us, says an angler in the
Philodelphra Times. While I was
stopping at a small hotel or tavern
down on the St. John's river the
proprietor asked me in to play a
game of pool one day, while Ave
were awaiting the arrival of a party
of gentlemen who were to join us
from Jacksonville. The landlord
tossed me a cue, and as I applied
the chalk I noticed that the cue was
peculiarly heavy and had the appear
ance of polished ivory, ire used a
cue of similiar pattern, hut the oth
ers in the rack were quite ordinary.
The covering of the table also at
tracted my attention. Instead of
the usual green baize it looked like
a peculiar species of a smoothly
tanned leather of a dark gray color.
"What is this cover made of?" I
inquired.
"That?" replied the Southerner,,
"why, that's a piece of catfish skin.
It makes the finest cover in the
world when it's nicely tanned and
stretched."
"You don't mean to say that you
got that off of one fish?" I said in
credulously, as I failed to discover a
single flaw or seam in the cover.
"Oh, yes; that isn't all, either. There
was enough left over to make me a
pair of waterproof overhauls. Yes,
sir, I caught that fish a year ago
last summer about a mile below Cy
press Point, in the St. John's river.
We had to harpoon him and land
him by means of a flat boat and a
block and tackle. Perhaps you
have noticed peculiarity of these
cues, too. They were made from
the horns of the same catfish."
"And these balls," added the
fisherman, as he emptied the fifteen
colored balls from a wicker basket
and arranged them for the game,
"are another product of the same
catch."
"How in the world?" I asked,
trying to look serious.
"Well, sir, yon may not believe
it, but I sent fifteen of that fish's
teeth up to a shop in Jacksonville,
and had them made into balls on a
turnine lathe."
The Printer's Thirty."
Omaba Republican.
The printers of anewspaper office have
a significant term for nearly everything
connected with their trade. They speak
to an extent in a language common to
themselves, and the novice or apprentice
has first to learn the language of the
printers and next the language of the
typee. Among the worda peculiar to the
craft, the word "thirty" is perhaps the
most often used and possessed of the
meaning. "Thirty" ia the end. It is
what "finish" is to a book or death to an
individual. When "thirty" is reached
the weary compositor drops his stick.
The day's work is done. How the term
originated nobody seems to know, but
from the printer it has fallen to the edi
tor, and become a portion of the educa
tion of the telegraph operator who
handles press reports. The last page of
the copy from the editor-in-chief bears
the "thirty," which indicates that the
thoughts concerning the newe of one day
have been presented as fully as may be;
the last proof from the proofreader retells
the story in the appended "tliirty" that
his day's work is done; the "tliirty'' from
the city editor denotes the completion of
the record of the city's daily life, and the
"thirty' on the manifold paper received
from the telegraph operator conveys the
information that the story of its waking
hours is finished.
The New Tax ami Tariff Ana
lyzed. The Financial Chronicle, says the New
York Times, has analyzed the working of
the new tax and tariff law for nine
months with some surprising results.
The decrease in receipts from internal
revenue and miscellaneous sources for
the current year, estimated the last quar
ter upon the experience of the first three,
will 1? $24,000,000, instead of $34,730,
000, as had been expected. But in the
past the receipts from these sources have
shown a constant increase, the rate being
unchanged. Hence, for the next year
the decrease will be less than $24,000,000, j
a conclusion which there are special rea- !
sons for regarding with confidence. The J
customs receipts for the three quarters j
decreased, respectively, by $7,500,000, !
$5,250,000, and $3,000,000. That is to say, j
the decrease itself constantly diminishing, j
and for the third quarter averaged only ;
$1,000,000 monthly. Even this decrease.!
it appears, is not due to the alleged re
duction of rates of customs, but to the j
decline in imports which are subject to
tax. To state this differently, the de- i
cline in customs receipts for the third j
quarter was $3,000,000, but the decline in
imports was $10,000,000. The conclusion ;
is that the revenue for the next fiscal !
rear will be $362,000,000 and the surplus j
3 $120,000,000. Perhaps no cause of
business depression is more prominent ;
til nr. f .. j .1
than exeeaivt.nrntiYm ami vet the debt.
which for Bpecial reasons no one -wants
Paia quickly, goes on diminishing at a
rate never before known.

THE STTHSr.
xN 1 OKK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of Thk Scn have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all The Si:n printed and sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing: House square to the top of
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
But Thb Sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would ' girdle the flobe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of Thb Scn during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 18K5 has af
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, nijrht and day.
It is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspaiers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
The Scn is, and will continue to be, a news
paper which tells the truth without faar of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over trie world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be
lieves that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 184.
If you know Thb Sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what-is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know The Sc it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
