The mackerel fleet of 1888 is now all in but three North Bay vessels, belonging at Gloucester. Generally the results of the season have been void of profits to the ves- se] owners, as well as the fishermen, for the reason that mackerel have been most re- markably scarce. But this has been offset in part by the fact that the few mackerel the vessels have taken have brought ex- tremely high prices, such as $25.50 for some of the last North Bay tips, sold out of the vessel with barrel. Such a price is almost unheard of previously in the his- tory of the trade. If a vessel has only a few barrels the money obtained would be considerable, and hence the courage of the fishermen has beensustained. There have been no transactions in shore mackerel of late, for the reason that the shore fleet is all in and hauled up. The last sales were on the basis of $17.50 for small and $24 tor large. The jobbers note a dull trade, and, in fact, they expect that it may be so till after Thanksgiving.

A Sad Case. A St. John despatch says that the Port- land police on Saturday night found a family in a house on Winter Street ina most. destitute condition. The mother with a six months old baby in her arms was walking the floor and five small ehil- dren were huddled together asleep on some straw. The furniture had all been seized that day fer rent. There was neither food nor fire in the house and the family were half starved and shivering with cold. The officers persuaded the owner of the house to take back the stove, bedding and chairs till Monday and the oflicers and kind hearted neighbors supplied food for the family. ‘The woman’s name is McDonald. She does not knows where her husband is. It is said the family have subsisted largely during the summer on scraps got by the children from railway men and from {Pull- man cars in the railway yard. The almshouse authorities have been notified. a

Miss Julia Rhinelander is the latest candi date for the honor of being the richest spin- ster in America. She possesses $50,000,000 in New York real estate.

P. IT. Barnum, according to the gossip of show circles, is to establish a theatre and museum in New York on a scale of magnifi- cance never before approached in that particu lar line.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, who was re moved from Sag Harbor, late iu the summer, to Hartford, Connecticut, to die in her old home, as her friends thought, is better now than she has been for years, and waiks quite readily with the aid of a cane.

W. J. Barnwell, a mathematician and or- ganist, of Berkshire, England, claims to have squared the circle He has been at work on the time-hoaored problem for 15 years. His solutiea eight figures, which, in concrete shape, form a perfect cyclometer. Mr. Burnwe:l has laid his formula before the French Academy of Science.

Ihe inventor of Volupak, Johann Martin Schleyer, is not dead, as a recent cable des- patch stated, although he has been dinver- ously ill and recei ed the last sacrsinents. The Baden baths cured him, and he lives to edit the Volapukabled Zenodik, the offi ial vrgan of the Society, whose head-quarters hive lately been removed to Paris.

The hippopotimus seems to be as surely on the road to extermiaation by hunters as the American buffalo is. Von Fiancois, the Congo explorer, says the huge but inuocent pachy- derms are already scarce in the waters that once teemed with them, and laments that they have been shot down by hundreds in mere wanton sport, their valuable hides being rarely removed,

At C»peuhagen on Thursday bells were rung and artillery fired in honor of the 25th anuiversary of King Cnristain’s‘accessien to the throne. In the morning His Majesty re- ceived the diplomats and special envoys, who tendered cougratuiations in behalf of their re- spective rulers. Afterwards they attended a special Je Deum in St. Mary’s Church. A banquet was given in the evening.

Hon. William Wirt Henry, of Richmond, Virginia, is writing a life of his illustrious grandfather, Patrick Henry. Mr. Henry in- herited a splendid portrait of his ancestor, painted in the famous red cloak which was so well known in the Revolution. It is the only admirable likeness of Patrick Henry in ex- istence, and has been presented to the Vir- ginia Historical Society to be kept ia their lire-proof building. Mr. William Wirt Henry also inherited the Patrick Henry estate of Red Hill, in Charlotte County, and has an immense mass of his grandfather's manuscripts, with the abstract of a celebrated case in John

Rundolph’s hand writing.

Expediency er selfishness rarely hesitates to interfere with the course of true love among the royal fa‘nilies of the Old World, and the Emperor of Germany is apparently thefmost rathless match-breaker of the present time. Having sacrificed the hopes of one of his sisters on the altar of diplomacy, he now indulges his spite against France by stopping the engagement of Prince George, the second son of the King of Greece, and the Princess Marguerite, daughter of the Comte de Paris, because his own sister, the Princess Sophia of Prussia, is to marry another son of the King. Emperor William could not brook even a fourth-hand relationship to a French woman.

It is pleasing to learn that the Hon. J. H. Fletcher was triumphant in the recent con- -test in Dakota. His election seems to have been one of the marked successes of the year. The Aberdeen News, of Nov. 8 says: ‘*‘ The great contest is over, and victory has perched upon the Republican banner, and every man is elected from Congressman to Coroner. The keenest fight was on the Legislative ticket. The war was made on the Hon J. H. Fletcher on ace unt of his Prohibition sentiments. The Third Party Prohibitionists were blind enough to put a ticket iu the field, so that the ‘father of local option ” was between two fires—the Prohibitionists on the one hand, and the saloon men on the other. The ex- saloonists employed canvassers and used money without s int, in the hope of defeating Mr. Fletcher. But they reckoned without their host; they evidently didn’t know their man. Mr. Fletcher's strength was never so manifest before. He cariied every county in the Legisiative districs by sweeping major- ities—by majorities that surprised even his friends. Capt. 8. P. Howell, his colleague, is also elected by a gvod round plurality. ** Fletcher and Howell are a good team.”

Result of a Shrewd Investment Made Fifteen Years Ago.

In 1873, a resident of New York City, who at chat time was 45 years of age, wish- ing to create a certain and immediately available fund in case of his death, and de- siring to secure at the same time a safe de- pository for his savings, ‘invested in an Equitable Tontine policy for $10,000.

Now at the end of 15 years he may draw from this institution the sum of $15,193, which is equivaient to a return of all his deposits, together with compound interest at the rate of 44 per cent. per annum. If he had died at any time during the 15 years his estate would have received $10,- 000 cash, which must be taken into account in judging of the vaiue of the investment.
