MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

Fred Douglass is just home from an extensive European trip. He says not by a single gesture did any one indicate disapproval of his color or the kink of his hair. George Vandkye, the millionaire “lumber king” of Northern New Hampshire, was fourteen years ago earning his living by chopping in the Woods in Coos County at S2O a month and board. He is but 36 years old. Golden trout are found in but one place in the world. That is in the brooks of Mount Whitney, up near the banks of everlasting snow. They have a golden stripe down each side, and are the most beautiful fish that swim. John Grelisb, of Toronto, who was sentenced to twenty-five lashes on the bare back and received them, says he would rather take three years’imprisonment than another such beating. He thought he could repress even a sigh, but at the third stroke he yelled for mercy.
