A Brief Biography.

We reproduce, from biography publish
ed in ls4s, says the Philadelphia Pennsylva-
nian, the following sketch Of the new Pres
ideni of the United States:
Hon. Milart Fillmore, Vice President Of
The United States, was born in Summer Hill,
Cuyuga county, New York, January 7lh,
1900. His father, Nathaniel Fillmore is a
farmer, still living in Erie county N. York.
Mr.. Fillmore spent four years in early life,
in working at the clothicr's trade, and dur
ing all tina, time devoted all his leisure hours
TO reading and study. At the age of nine-
teen he attracted The notice Of Judge Wood,
Of Cayuga County, who TOOK brm into his
office. In 1921, he removed TO Buffalo, aud
entered law office, teaching for his main
Ienance, until the year 1928, when he was
licensed TO practice in the court of common
pleas. In 1927, he was admitted an atror-
ney of the supreme court of the State of N.
York. In 1929, he was elected a member
of The Assembly from Erie Co., N. ", and
was twice reelected. He was elected 10
Congress in The fall Of 1892, aud after the
expiration OF his term resumed the practice
OF his profession. 10 1886, he was again
sent 10 Congress, and was subsequently re-
elected for another term. During this ses-
sion he was placed at the head of the Com
miltee of Ways and Means. In 1874, he
was nominated by the Wing party of New
York, as their candidate for Governor. In
lo47, he was elected Comptroller of that
State. In l34S, he was elected Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. and on the 4ih of
March 1913 he entered upon the duties of
the office.

l felt the need of something, more than ever
had before. My earnings in school teaching,
the previous winter, had been exhausted in the
payment of some small debts had been obliged
to contract, and in furnishing myself with few
necessary articles of wearing apparel; and the
few shillings had started on nv journey with

to name to them my destitute condition, but
not one of them put cent into my hand.
never was exactly like the unjust steward who
said, Dig cannot, and to beg am ashamed ;
was ever ashamed to beg; but l could dig,
with good will, if had opportunity. But now
had no chance; it would require the whole,
or nearly the whole time between this and the
next Sunday to reach the place of my appoint
ment. What was to be done! | felt very
unwilling to cause disappointment; there
fore moved forward, though with rather de-
spairing heart, at first but soon gathered cour-
age and strength from the reflection, that if
God had allotted me work to perform. he
would either provide means TO feed me on the
way, or give me strength to perform the Jour-
ney without it. 1t required me to be on the
way two nights and had barely change suf-
ficient in my pocket to pay for my horse keep
ing and my lodging, and furnish me with sin
gle meal. And with this | performed the Jour
ney, without making my condition known to
any person, or asking the charity of strangers
On the last day, long after every cent was
spent, in crossing the Green Mountains from
Adams through Savoy to Wiliamsburgh,
felt quite exhausted, and thought my poor beast
felt faint and weary too; and, on looking
around and beholding the abundance that re-
warded the labors of the industrious husband
man, even in that cold and mountainous coun-
try, | could scarcely refrain from repining at
my lot, and thinking that, if this was an allot-
ment of Providence, it was a severe one; and.
for a moment, fearful dependency seized my
soul But it was momentary only for, on
looking around, | saw fresh turnip by the
wayside, that somebody had dropped. Ialight-
ed, picked it up, and proceeded but a few rods,
when ] came to spot of good fresh grass by
the way. here let my horse feed, stretched
my weary limbs on natures verdant carpet,
and ate my turnip. | then arose refreshed
both in body and mind. My Responding feel
ing had entirely left me; and holy calm
ness, an mistaken confidence in an alwise and
bountiful Providence, with a conscientious
conviction that was in the way of duty, ac-
companed and checred me to the end of my
journey. | arrived at the house of Mr. Wash
burn, father of Mrs. Ballou, some time after
noon but could wait, without feeling any in

LObSters.

The following facts concerning this dN
cious shell fish which is SO common in our
market during the proper season, and which
is becoming quite an important article in traf-
6c, are furnished by corresponder, of the
Portland Transcript, who is himself an ex-
perenced vender of the same.
Thinking the statement of few facts un-
der this head might be interesting TO some
OF the readers of the Transcript submit the
following for your disposal There have
been two hundred thousand Holsters caught
in the towns OF Bristol and Friendship dur
ing the past season, and nearly as many
more in the town of Harpswen alone, and
the probability is, that there have been four
hundred thousand more caught in different
parts Of the State, making in all eight hun
dred thousand. This appears 10 be quite a
large draught upon the species we can,
however, to some extent account for the re.
plenishInent of this draught, from the fact
that single female lobster will produce in
one year from forty TO fifty thousand eggs.
But II is reasonable TO suppose that many of
these are destroyed. A large amount of the
number Of Holsters mentioned have been
carried TO New York. The New Workers
are in The habit Of coming 10 this State to
procure their Holsters in the early part Of the
season, say till about the middle Of May, af-
ter which time they are enabled to take them
around Cape Cod, and other places farther
South. This happens very convenient for
them, as the Holsters of the cool waters of
Maine will not survive in New York after
warm weather SETS in. There have been
about two hundred thousand Holsters carried
| TO Boston market thus season, principally for
the immediate consumption Of that and ad-
jacent cities and towns.
There have been rising two hundred
thousand Holsters brought 10 this city this
season, principally for the preserving bust
ness, which, though vet in its infancy, seems
TO threaten destruction 10 The species, as il
enables those engaged in it TO take almost
any quantity, for which they find quick sale,
and good profits.
The manner in which they are taken gives
no warning, and affords but little opporInni-
ty Of escape; hence if they are lost, as they
sometimes are in large numbers, they are
soon taken again, and sometimes they have
been marked and let go, and caught three or
four times in the course OF few months.
About an average wholesale price for these
Holsters, when delivered IN the several places
mentioned, is forty-fve dollars per thousand,
| thus upon the number which we have calcu-
lated affording revenue Of thirty-six thous-
| and dollars to those engaged in procuring
them, aud taking them to market.

Mr.. Fillmore will scarcely repose, for
some time at least, ION a bed OF roses.'-
Labors will continue to accumulate, and the
organization of his Cabinet is his first great
object. The care Of assisting to adjust the
great controversy which disrracIs the coun-
Try will prey upon him, and this duty ,ciH
not be discharged by folding his arms and hor-
ing the ,rhole current Of erelts to the erclusice
discretion of Congress. Had the last admin.
istration done nothing had they not recon-
mended a false policy to the adoption ol Con-
gress-Mr. Fillmore might have had the
better excuse for dong nothing HIMSELF
But their action devolves upon him the duty
of counteraction. Besides he is constitution
ally bound 10 give to the Congress infor-
nation Of the State Of the Union, and re-
commend to their consideration such meas
ures as he may judge necessary and expedi-
ent' lie comes in the midst Of great diff
culties, and these are mantuly met at once.
We take it for granted that he ,ciH rary the
tack on ,chich the Erecutirc ship is steering. II
he differs with The last Administration, is he
not bound 10 declare il II he is opposed
to the policy Of leaving the other Territories
without an organization by Congress, is he
not bound to avow his opinions in the most
decided manner? If be disapproves Of a
military officer Interfering nth the irW rights
of the people Of Ner Menico, is he not under
The most solemn obligation 10 look into his
conduct and reprimand his interference? If
New Mexico comes forward TO lay State
Constitution before the Government, is the
President not bound in communicating this
proposition TO Congress, 10 express his dis
sent ? TO recommend to that body TO organ
ize Territorial Government for them sIript
of the Wilmot Provisc, and 10 determine
lhe boundaries between New Mexico and
Texas, and thus prevent the shedding of
brothers blood? If military orders have
been issued TO march the troops Of the Unit
ed States for the purpose of Interfering be.
tween Texas and New Mexico, does il NOT
hecome his duty, to investigate the orders
and countermdnd The march Of The troops In
the position TO which our country has ar.
rived, the people will look with The utmost
anxiety to the course of the new Administra-
ton. The Union Of States the Rights Of
the Slates-the happiness Of their citizens
lhe best mode of maintaining The Union ~
that spirit Of Cancellation and compromise IN
which the Constitution was formed-these
will all enter, of course, as far as the execu-
tive is concerned, into its earliest views and
measures. s. Wash. Union.
