The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, April 13, 1304. Piscatorial Sport. To the EJitor of the Dispatch: Match 29.h was as fair and sunshiny a spring day as ever woke since first the will of the Almighty robed the hills with verdure and spread out loveliness as a garment over the earth. The tree& canopying the roads with their green boughs, were living and tuneful with all the birds of spring. Every feathered warbler of the season was singing sweetest notes and earth was car peted with its thousands of wild flowers of every hue and fragrance? the sweetest children of the early year, whose very birth and bearing are one of the brightest themes that nature offers to imagination. There is not a cheerful feeling in the heart of'man that might not there have found some sweet note to wake into harmony. Tne air was balm itself? soft, yet inspiring like the breath of hope; and the danciDg light and shade that checkered the perspective had something in it gay and sportive, which j lined with the song of birds, addressed itself to all the purer ..sources of happiness in the human breast and 6poke of peace and joy. Such was the enchanting day that enticed the following gentlemen to wend their way to Mr. Brit Hutto's T\nnd in fisherman's confidence of booking the wily trout and the dashing jick: Scott, Bob and Kinstler Hook, Charlie Thompson, Press Corley and son, Wade R >of and brother, John Hite and sons, Risinger brothers, of Irene, Uncle Dave Sox, Joab Corley, D?ve and James Matbias, Willie JBickley, Joe Knight and P. H. Corley. The inspiratibn of the day stirred to its utmost depths the sleeping harmony of music in the breasts of Joab Corley, John Jacobs and Joe Knight, and the first named burst forth in sweetest song accompanied by the second on the mouth organ and the latter on the guitar, shaming the birds by their exquisite notes, and charming all the girls along thei road as well as soothing the other members of the party. ; Now, Mr. Editor; you know that it is an undoubted fact that Auuauias was struck dead by a bolt of lightning, and hence I am warned to be extremely cautious in putting into nnlrl r?rinfc prr>pripnr?pn nf nnr?h expert fishermeD, therefore, I leave each description to that less impressive angler and champion fisherman Sim Miller. Yet I cannot let one undoubted occurrance pass without notice as it possesses a wide public interest in tbis year of election. Dave Mathias baited his hook, "unbeknownest" to the others of the party, with a dried persimmon and a gob of soft molasses candy, and immediately on dropping it in the pond there was a wild rush of the finDy tribe for it, which was indicated by the waves rushing in concentric circles toward his hook. Ic was swallowed with a gulp by some huge fish, and the pole was almost jerked from Dave's hand before he could pull the monster in. When it was landed no one could tell its species, but after a close inspection of its face one and all admitted that it looked in its features and facial expression very much like a certain gentleman who is mentioned as a candidate in the coming primary for a county office. They all agreed on his name, but you will readily see that it would be improper for me to mention it at present as it would be such an advertisement tor him that be would not think of paying you for another announcement in the candidates' column of the Dispatch. The boys were soon confirmed in their conclusion, for upon examining Dave's bail they, or at least one of them, said: "He's got candy and a date on his hook"?candy?date, and exclaimed: "By Joe, Dave baited for a candidate and got one." He had mistaken the dried persimmon for a date, a3 doubtless you have already surmissed. Only adding that the boys had a glorious time, I will leave the fish tales for Sim Miller. Can't you go with us next time, Mr. Editor? W. U. N. Chausen. It makes a spinster mad every time she hears of a widow marring again. Will Hold Out at Antung. St. Petersburg, April 7.?Woile the first line of defense against the Japanese advance from Corea is a strong position, selected by Geu. Kuropatkin near Feng Huang Cheng, it is believed the Russians intend to hold cut as long as possible at Antung, which commands the Pekin road. The place has many natural advantages for defense. Gen. Kuroki's army, according to Russian advices, is struDg out along the road between ADja and Wiju, its advance being severely impeded by bad loads, which make it difficult to push forTOftrH t.hft snnnlies. which are drae'ced "^ ? rr ' ?r oo by coolies, requiring eight days' | march from Chyon-Ju to the Yalu. For 70 miles the river is 500 fathoms wide and at l'ongampo it is ice laden and barred by islandp, whence the Russian sharpshooters can harass the Japanese advance. The Russians have entrenched themselves heavily near Hai Cheng, to block the progress of the Japanese I in case they succeed in landing at the head of the Liao Tung gulf. How's This.

Tokio, April 7.?A dispatch from Seoul, Cores, says that the Japanese supply steamers are safely entering the estuary of the Yalu river and are landing their cargoes at various points on the Corean shore. It is presumed here that the movement of these supply steamers is covered by Japanese gunboats. If tbis is true, tbe Russian forts erected upon tbe Chinese side of the Yalu river are evidently not effective. According to reliable Corean reports the American mines at Uasan and the English mines at Gwendolen are safely guarded by detachments of Japanese troops. Makes A Clean Sweep. There's nothing like doing a thiDg thoroughly. Of all the Salves you ever heard of Bucklen's Arnica Salve is the best.

There are many crooked streams in Missouri and the Osage River is one of the crookedest- There is a farmer in Camden county who can float sis miles down the Osage to the town of Linn Creek and then six miles further down it back to his home. The river run3 on two sides of his farm, and on one side it is coming from Linn Creek and on the other going to it. All the labor the man has to do to make the round trip is to carry his boat across his farm. Ballard's Horekound Syrup. Immediately relieves hoarse, croupy cough, oppressed, rattling, rasping, and difficult breathing. Henry C.
