LAKE SUPERIoR.-There is said to be periodi-
cal rise and fall in the waters of Lake Superior of
about three feet on average, but varying some
two three feet in different seasons. II com
mences in the month of June, and rises slowly till
the last of August when it begins to fall and falls
slowly till the next May. The cause is supposed
10 be the melting of the SHOWS and ice on the ribu-
taries during the summer months, thus causing a
rise; and the cutting of of all supplies from that
during the winter by the frosts leaving the
waters of the lake to be drained by its outlet

The ARMY OF PARis.-The appointment Of Gen.
Magnan to the command of Paris, instead of Bar
quay d'Hilliers, is thought to denote preparation
on the part of Louis Napoleon. The following is
sketch of General Ms career:
General Magnan, who has just been appointed
to the command of the army of Paris, was born
in 1871. He entered the army in 1909 as volun-
teer In in the Goth regiment of the line, and was in
the campaigns of Spain and Portugal, under Ney
and Massena, in 1910 and 1912. He was after
wards under Marshal Soult, at the various battles
fought in Spain in 1916 He took part in the battle
of Waterloo, one of the imperial guard and con-
tinued 20 serve until 1882 when, being colonel he
entered the Belgian service, and was named gene
raj of brigade. Having returned to France in 1899.
after seven years foreign service, he was nomi-
mated generalin command of the corps of obserya-
ton OF the Nord. He was named lieutenant gene
raj in lS45. and was appointed to the command Of
the troops in Corsica, after the revelation in Feb
ruary. He returned to Paris when the insurrection
OF June broke out, and commanded the reserve
occupying the camp at st. Maur. He afterwards
took the command of the army of the Alps in lS49
and was at Lyons about a month when the nsur-
rection burst out there the 18th of June of that
year. He evinced the greatest resolution in put
ting down that outbreak, his horse being wounded
twice, and the scabbard OF his sword being cut IN
two by bullet. He received the grand cross of
the legion of honor for his conduct on that occa-
sion. OF late he has been in command of the fourth
military division, the headquarters of which are al
Strasburg."

The WHALING FLEET OF THE UNITED SrATEs-
The Whditng LAST, OF New. Bedford, contains some
interesting statistics, from which some idea of the
immense extent of the whaling business may be
formed BY far the greater portion of this business
Is confined to Massachusetts The whole number
OF vessels employed is six hundred and FIVE. New
Bedford has two hundred and seventy FIVE shi De
and barques, and more than half the tonnage
Nantucket, New London, and Fairhaven have about
an equal interest in the business. There are now
one hundred and thirty-two large ships and barques
IN port, hitting for sea, and they will require nearly
four thousand men for officers and crew. The total
amount OF property invested in the whaling bus-
ness must be between twenty and thirty millions
of dollars, and the oil taken must amount to rising
ten millions of dollars yearly to make it a paying
business; but from an examination of the list we
should Judge that the sperm whalcrs were not do
ing profitable business-many of them having
been out three years more, are now reported
with small fares. The fret seven months of this
year there has been landed about 81 800 900 worth
OF sperm. S4,50O,0O0 worth of whale oil and
VI, ,20os0Oo worth OF bone, making a total of
SS,5oO, 600 for the first seven months, giving for

Correspondence Of The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. To-
The Secretary of the Navy having employed re-
laws of hands to get the ST. Lawrence ready to sail
for London with the articles for exhibition at the
Worlds Fair it is now ascertained THAI she will
be ready to take her departure on Feb. l, so that
articles intended for exhibition must not only re-
ceiye the sanction Of the State and Central Com
mittees, but must be deposited at the Brooklyn
Nayy.Yard on or before the 25th Of January, that
there may be time to arrange and stow them
away.
A Georgian, who is well posted up with regard
to public opinion, not only in his own State bat
throughout the South, writes, in private letter
to distinguished old Wing of this city, that he
believes the Union is stronger now than it was
thirty years ago, and that 1t VIII continue to
strengthen, as we have now got over the principal
disturbing causes likely TO divide the two sec
tons.
IL seems not little curious to find in an old
South Carolina paper Of the date of 1928, accounts
Of disunion movements, displayed under headings
garnshed with startling capitals, and introduced
with editorials, containing awful predictions OF ion.
mediate dissolution, and consequent destruction OF
the North. The ignorance which then existed ia
the Southern States with reference tothe independ
ent resources Of the North, her sefbalanoed Agri-
cultural Manufacturing and Commercial interests,
seems but slightly abated after the lapse oftwenty
two years. The Census returns will, however, tell
some stories that may do good. Thisis in no spirit
Of disparagement of the great wealth and resources
of the South it is but saying that the South have
it not in their power TO punish the North by sac
rificing themselves, to the extent which they
fondly imagine However, it is to be hoped that
all sectional jealousy will cease.
A movement is making in opposition to Jast
and equal distribution OF the Public Lands among
the new and old States, so far as they are to be
distributed or given away at all, by representing
il as disunion movement; the plea being that II
the Lands are so distributed, one tie which now
binds the States together will be broken. This is
an excellent device, but it will probably have ut
tie weight. Our bond OF Union is not dollar and
cent affair
