WHITE WHALES AT HOME. Where and How They nre Captured?A Idvely Tu.vsle with the Creatures in the Water., lioxing a Whale for an Aquarium. Iu a letter to the New York Sun a writer describes how white whales are captured oa a large island in the river St. Lawrence, seventy-two miles below Quebec, known as Isle aux Condres. He says : A toilsome climb up a lugged path on the very steep face of the bluff brings us to the fishers' cottages, which stand in line near the edge of the elevated table land. There is an excess of women and children. Nobody speaks any. other language than a queer French'patois, excepting one very old man?ninety-one years of age, he says he is?who professes a knowledge of English. We get to the foot of Jthe hill, ruling down on a rickety little cart, without going over the edge of tho precipice, without sticking fast in the ruts, and without being tipped over headforemost on the little horse. Then a rattling drive of about a mile and a half over the lowland, and half a mile more out on tho beach, brings us to the fishery and in sigui oi seven line, big -\vlnte whales, stranded in shallow pools, where they flounder and puff hopelessly. These white whales are very stupid and cowardly creatures. It is supposed that they come up at this season on family errands, as unborn young, four or five feet long, are frequently found. They also come up to this point to feed on the little fish, locally known as the capian, lachc and eplain, which swarm here, in May and June, in vast numbers. In pursuit of their prey, the white whales run close up to the shore. The fishers plant slender stakes, not more than an inch and a half in diameter and five or six feet long, at distances nearly two feet apart, in a line inclosing a parallelogram a mile in width, and extending three-quarters of a mile from shore seaward. As the Jtide recedes, the whales i find themselves within this inclosure. One of the big whales could sweep down a score of the stakes by a single dash at them, and there is even room for him to dart between without touching them ; yet so cowardly is he that these slender obstructions sufiice to turn him. He will rush seaward to within a yard of the fence, then wheel in wild affright and dart back toward shore, and so aimlessly exhaust himself, while the water is constantly growing more and more shallow. At last he l'es helplessly stranded. None has ever been known to break through tue barrier and esc: ie. Down from the houses on the hill several fishjrs come, carrying weapous like huge chisels, or the blubber-spades employed by whalers. These they drive into the captives, piercing their lpogs and killing them. This "lancing" is practically the same as that by which the right whale is killed. The creatures die hard, often with a sweep of their great tails knocking their slayers heels over head in the mud and water, five or six yards away. When one has got into a rather deeper pool than his fellows, where the water is four or five feet deep,if there is space'enough for him to turn, he [ will make a desperate struggle for his life, I dodging, doubling and evading the deadly blows with wonderful celerity. In the end, however, he is inevitably conquered, but not until he swims in a pool reddened by his blood. Before the tide rises again," the carcasses must be drag-! ged up, by horses, to the higher ground, where the trying out kettles are placed. There they are skinned, the blubber cut off, and the remnants burned or toss 3d into the sea. Not all the white whales so caught are killed. The finest ones are taken alive and put into a reservoir in the small PrAaV n'lioro o l/?\ rr vx v'v>a ivvx\/i v uiv/uvivuvU} n uviv n ivu^ | fence of stakes keeps them secure until until they are wanted for the New York Aquarium or its branches. This, although apparently a job of some difficulty, is easily accomplished. A big batteau, or a deep, flat-bottomed boat, is dragged into the pool beside the selected white whale, half sunk on its side and then, by the .combined strength of twenty or thirty men, the lubberly tvnimal is fairly boosted into it. When the tide rises the batteau is towed around to the reservoir and its freight tipped out. A much more serious task is that of getting the white whale into a box for transportation. When this has to be done, the entire available strength of the fishing company?thirty-four men?is called into requisition. As has been said, this wha]e is very timid ; to prevent his being made so wild and desperate as to defy handling when the time comes, the priest has to issue an edict that no i one shall throw anything into the water of the reservoir, or do anything to entice i a dog to go in there, or in any way fright- , en the creature. This order is scrupu- | lously respected. By good luck, I happened to arrive just in time to see the company, under ! the supervision of Zach Coup and Luke | Tilden?who had come on from the aqua num for the purpose?capture and box 1 up for transportation three fine speci- j mens. A strong wooden box, thirteen ; feet long, three feet wide and something j over four feet deep, its bottom a bed of ; seaweed one foot in depth, is sunk half on its side in a convenient spot. Then the men form a line in the water, surround the whale, and drive him up slow^ ly toward the box, gradually closing in upon him. Their aim is to get close enough to him to seize his tail and hoist it out of the water. That will render, him powerless ; for as soon as his tail is in the air he has no way of getting a purchase for a struggle or a rush. Suddenly Francis Dufour, the strong man of the island, and two others make a simultaneous grab at his tail, but quick as they are, he ? quicker yet; in a second the three men go sprawling in different directions heels over head, while the frightened animal, in dashing away, knocks down two others. The water is four feet deep. Twenty-nine excited men shout, jabber and gesticulate at once. Five more, when they get their heads out of the water, join the clamor. A score of dogs bark furiously, and some of them plunge into the melee in the water, while others relieve their excited feelings by a fight on shore. There are five whales in the reservoir, and they are now coursing to and fro, almost with the swiftness of brook trout, all wild with terror. Sooq one is singled out, edged up toward the box, and another futile attempt made upon him; result: four more men sent to the bottom of the reservoir, more excitement, more iabber and another (log liglit. After half an hour of this sort of struggle, the men run out to warm their hands at a big tire on the beach. At the next attack, Joe Dufour grasps the whale's tail; *;ut not being strong enough to lift it alone, is dragged down, still holding on, and shoots through the water like a 6ort of aquatic rocket, two feet beneath the surface, half way up the reservoir. There he lets go and comes I to the surface to blow and say things to his patron saint. By this time the entire population of the island, except thA i priest, are gathered upon the bank and the little bridge fit fKp upper cud oC the j reservoir. Everybody has suggestions to offer, and everybody has brought along a dog. At length, after two hours of violent effort, one whale is captured, his tail held up long enough for thirty pairs of strong hands to grasp l.im, and in a mo' ment more he is landed safely in the box, which is straightened up and dragged to higher ground. The tight with the second whale is yet more protracted, lasting oyer three hours, and there is not one of his would-be captors to whom he does not give a plunge bath. It takes eight hours of almost ceaseless combat to se; cure three of the monsters in the boxes. Didn't Want to be "(ionged." A tall man, with cowhide boots up to his knees, a red beard down to his waist, and a white shmched hat on the back of his head, stepped iyto a Bleecker street car the other afternoon. The car was one of those poke-yourmoney-through-a - hole - in-the-door-and-1 drop-your-fare-in-tke-box arrangements J which so delight the way faring man, though a fool. The tall stranger glanced nervously around, and seeing the sign, "Pay Here," chucked a ten-cent piece down the hole, to show that he knew all l about the matter. Then to his horror . he discovered that the fare was only five cents. He saw the hole in the door and the cheering inscription, "Change," upon the trap. " High, cap !" said he to the driver, thrusting an immense paw through the hole, "rustle out that change." The driver looked down Centre street, gazed abstractly at the new court-house : on Chambers street, took several turns on the brake, glanced at his watch to see if he was on time, took a fresh chew of tobacco, and then turned around to make the change. He saw only an empty palm. " What are ye givin' us ?" said he. " Nuthin'," said the red headed man, sententiously. " I want you to give me five cents change." " Where's yer fare ?" asked the driver, i leering affectionately at the ten-cent piece in the box. " Why, thar's ten cents in that contraption thar, an' I want you just to hump out my change." "Can'tdo it; against orders. Should 'a got change first," said the driver, with a fiendish grin, turning his attention from the red headed man to the navigation of Leonard street. "By jinunani!" shouted the red headed man; "can't I git my five cents ? I'll take it out o' that feller's hide, an' then I'll see the president of the company an' make him refund the money." " Don't do that," said a mild looking man with a white tie; "I know a better way?don't pay next time." "But, Je-rusalem ! Sir, I'm goin' to J the Black Hills, an' I hope I may die ef I ever come back to New York." "I'll settle it for you," said a gentlemnt\ wlin lijul insf Kfpr>r>pd in* " here's 1 ~^- J ~I'I 7 | my five cents; you take it, and I won't pay anything." "That's the ticket," said the red | headed man. "I don't care a cuss for the five cents, but it does grovel me like 1 thunder to be gouged. Come gents," ! said he to the passengers, " let's all get; off and take a drink." The driver glowering through the window saw the transaction, and knew that' Nemesis had overtaken him. However, he rang the bell, wlr.ch announces a defaulter on the car, but the passengers only laughed at the tintinnabulation of the bell, bell, bell, at the moaning and ; the groaning of the bell. Slight Hope for Turkey. A special correspondent in Constantinople sent the following dispatch to a New York paper : During the past few dayslhave nad interviews with a number of officials of the Turkish government, and ! also with prominent men of all classes well acquainted with the situation of affairs here. The information received j from these sources, and my own inti-1 mate knowledge of Turkey and the government of the sultan, enable me to say that the corruption and bribery which [ are rife eveiywhere destroy all chances i of Turkish success. There are no horses, no money, and no order in the j management of affairs. All the carriage horses in the country have been seized by the government for war purposes. Another body of the softas were exiled to-day. They were accompanied to the vessel in which they took their departure by a large number of sympathizers. The sultan is'a nonentity. With 300 women and 5,000 persons of all classes in the palace to feed daily, the strain on the treasury is intense. There is not a particle of patriotism among the officials to give ground for 1 the slightest hope. Contracts for army stores and equipments are awarded by means of bribery of the officials having the matter in charge. Tlie advertisements in the newspapers of contracts open to general competition are mere shams and, are connived at by the minister of war and those who surround him. The Constitution of the conntry is also a sham, and is disregarded in every possible manner. The Parliamentary deputies are returning to their homes in disgust, and the laws which have been passed will never be put in force. The minister of war, however, informed me that Turkey would tight to the last. The sultan has given up all hopes of aid from the English government. The Bootblack's Benefactor. A man on coming down town discovered that his boots needed polishing, and called a bootblack, to whom, the operation being concluded, he tendered the customary fee. "Keep your nickles, mister," urbanely replied the artist, drawing the cuff of his jacket across his nose; "we don't charge nothing to friends of the profession." "Friends of the profession ? How ? What ? I don't understand you," said the westsider. "Well. I'll explain," said the boy. " Maybe you don't live on West Van Bureu, up near Ashland avenue, beyond where the boys used to play base ball, and near them big houses with marble bodices in the gardens, and maybe you haven't a garden* plot and a hose?" The man said his informant's information, whatever its source, was indubitably correct. "Well, mister," continued the boy, "I see you the other evening slinging water out of the hose all over creation, like as if you was Noah and the Twelfth ward was Sodom and Gomorrah, and I see you sprinkle the boots of two dollars' worth of young swells as was going down to get their girls to go to the theater, and of course they had to have them sliined up again. You was making business for us, and we allow you the regular commission. Your hat's chalked?your boots I mean?at every box in town. You can't drop a I cent, not if your feet was twice as big as j they are. And, mister, if our society ! ever stikes it rich they're going to have ; a statue of you, life size, in plaster, with ; I a hose in your hand squirting round like | Casabianca or Ben Bullwinkle, or any of 1 them pillars of fire, and we'll put it up i in Union Park, bet you we do," and the enthusiastic boy, bowing humbly to his i benefactor, ^epvsi^X^ChinagoTrihHv.et j Turkey's Gift From Mecca. Oue of the Turkish religious traditions > i relates that Mohammed when traveling 1 once in the desert heard a devout Bedouin tay on retiring to his tent for the night : "I will loose my camel and trust to Providence." " Nay," said ' Mohammed, " tie thy camel and trust to 1 Providence." The guardians of the . shrine at Mecca have caught the spirit : of the prophet's advice so far as to con- ! ! elude that Providence works through , material agencies, and have sent to Tur- 1 key what remains of the accumulated ! gifts that generations of pilgrims have , heaped upon the prophet's altar, and 1 which amount io the go )dlv sum of 200,- 1 000,000 piasters, or about $8,600,000 in J the money of the United States. This gift to Turkey in her present fi- j nancial emergency will be of more sub- ? stantial value than thousands of the ir- < regular and undisciplined troops that the * appeal to fanaticism has been expected to draw to her standards from Arabia and Palestine. It will enable her to com- | plete the equipment of her armies with modern firearms and artillery which she $ has thus far lacked the means, and with 1 it the credit, to obtain. Moreover the gift shows how profoundly the Mohamme- ( dan heirarchy appreciate the fact that, * Turkey's struggle for existence is also : their own, and that the eastern extension of the Russian empire means the ? i i certain suppression ui me luunauinieuun j faith, if not by force, by the equally ef-, fective process of a better civilization ! and a more exalted creed.?New York Evening Pout.

Nerves that Quiver. IIead8 that ache, stomachs that inflict dyspeptic torments, muscles and joints racked with the rheumatism, are infallibly restored to health by the celebrated elixir, H 'stetter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine prescribed by physicians ; possessing infinite purity, and which no one takes in vain who is afflicted with any of the numerous complaints to which it is adapted. It frequently happens that so-called remedies fail to produce a permanent effect. This is because they are merely palliatives, and therefor* do not remove the cause of the maladies, whose systems they after a time cease to ameliorate. This is notably the case with opiates and sedative drugs. It is not so, however, with Hostetter's Bitters, which are a searching specific that conquers the disease as well as banishes its itidicia.

GRA?D Premium Gift. tiie London Fine Art Association OF ENGLAND, United States Offices, 793 Broadway, NEW YORK, have concluded arrangements by which each subscriber to this week's paper will | be entitled to receive One Copy of a Magnificent Engraving by Zobell OF THE CELEBRATED PAINTING BY MELVILLE, ENTITLED "THE TRUE VINE." ! (COPYRIGHT. 18 in. by 30 in.) _ Of all the efforts that have previously ; been made for portraying portraits of our Savior, none have ever received such | universal approbation as that which the ' above beautiful picture commands. " I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman," are the words upon which the sublime subject is allegorically approached. Our blessed Lord is repre' sented in the engraving demonstrating the tnith of this Holy Word, and seeking for examples to illustrate His parables from the bountiful gifts of beauteous nature which surround Him. Encircled by a vine, His right hand grasps a tendrir of the plant, while the left is outstretched in the act of illustration. The artist lias depicted with a master i hand the overflowing look of ineffable | and yearning love upon the Divine coun| tenance, surrounded by the Heavenly j halo. The vine on the left of our Lord, i has an ax cleft in the root thereof, svm! bolical of the words of John the Baptist ; in Matt. 111, ver. 10: " And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the tree,therefore every tree which bringeth not forth gcod fruit is hewn down, and cast into the tire." Thus theanthesis of the picture is given. Our Lord holding in His right hand'the growing, or true vine, unto which He likens Himself, while on the .other hand is shadowed forth the dei struction of the "tree which beareth not I good fruit." In the background the j short twilight of an Eastern evening is ! descending upon the mountains, at the foot of which grow spreading palms and other Oriental trees. None can look upon this picture without takiug to heart the lesson inculcated ! by the Divine Teacher, which is illusi trated in so soft and beautiful a manner by the present subject. The above beautiful engraving may be J seen, free of charge, at the offices of the i London Fine Art AssociatOn, 793 Broadway, New York, between the hours of ten and five o'clock. ?______ IT IS IMPORTANT THAT Early Application Should be Made for "JHE TRUE VINE" by those who wish to become possessed of this Splendid Picture, as, after the date mentioned below, it will be too late 1A A AM .1 C s- ? /% A M*? /-vf ih A AK/WA AAI ALMAIA/I I IU BCUU 1UI U CHjJJ' UX liliC U UIJ V C CCiCUiiHCU work.
