The World has ascertained that there are at least 100,000 persons idle in New York at present, and that, notwithstanding the .seeming general prosperity, starvation menaces many persons who want work ‘but cannot get it.

We embarked and stood proudly down the bay—that is, the skipper, the first mate and I stood proudly down—but Dick curled up on the sofa in the cabin and said he thought he'd ‘enjoy the scenery by taking a light nap; then thirty ight hearted blue. bottles and seven jdeer fics got aboard and went in to help him enjoy it, and for the next hour he talked ssome in his sleep and then arose and declared war. We reached the fishing ground at 11 o’clock by the simple but beautiful process of floating thituer stern foremost with the tide. The skipper dropped anchor, and his gray haired sire grabbed a dozen menutaden, inserted them in a variety of coffee mill, and ground out a compound which looked like dried apple stew and smelled as loud as a breech loading cannon. Hecalled this “chum.” He cast several spoonfuls of it overboard, and‘said that the bluefish would eagerly follow it up and swarm about the boxt in great numbers begging for ‘more. Iat once lost the last vestige of re spect I had for bluefish, and rigged up my tackle. Meanwhile Dick had captured most of the flies, and was deep in “Vivian's Re rvenge; or, The Adventures of a Red Headed Girl on a White Horse,” and said he was real glad we had brought those menhaden along, for he had acquired brain fever by sitting on the hat eofe, tnaw ha was going to the morgue, and wanted to get used to feeling dead. Well, after the skipper’s venerable father bad perfumed the bay pretty thoroughly witb the chum, he inserted my hook into a fat lump of it and I lowered, away. Usually, when fishing, I select some,p#ofound theological subject and have an hour or so to digest it before I get a nibble, but on this occasion my reverie was instantly broken by a vicious snatch at my line, a yell from my reel and about a ton of industrious trouble running away with my tackle. Now, a Leonard rod is worth $30 and a bluefish about four cents, andtho feclings wita which I saw him getting rapidly out to sea were fast becoming rancid, when he suddenly changed his mind, leaped a yard into the air, struck his tail across the leader, failed to part it because I gave him slack, then dove fifty feet or 80, raced to windward and then to leeward, threw another somersault, got under the boat, sounded again, took another header into the air, and finally, after ten minutes of bewildering deviltry, he sulked alongside and allowed me to land him with the net. I was proud and happy. I called to Dick, but he groaned and refused to look up. I told him I had -a bluefish, He said he wasn’t surprisel—any fish onght to be blue after having swallowe:l Lalf a pound of soft menhaden and getting a hook tangled up with his back teeth, Meantime the bluefish was going through the measures of a war dance on deck, and aftera long struggle I suececded in getting him calmed down, and then I plunged two fingers down his flroat to extract the barb, I took what was left of my fingers out pgain, , The skipper then told’ me that his thirty-two years of experience hal taught him that the longer e, man eferred the pleasure of ramming his fingers into a bluefish’s mouth the longer he would have fii + to use in other pursuits, and 1 replied quite passionately that what it had taken hiin thirty-two years to learn I bad found out i» four seconds, Then he showed me the artistic way to relieve a bluefish of the discomfort of the hook, which was to club him over the head and then gouge the thing out with a knife. By 4 0’Clock we had eighty-three bluelish, were pretty ripe. Dick had stopped chumming, the wind was freshening up, and so the skipper took a double reef in the binnacle and we caine home.--New York World. @ A Point for Rural Residents.
