TnE TEN MfxuTxs RuxE.-The House Of Dale.

speeches Of ten minutes length. The rule ID worth
more than oil the other rules of the House com.
bined for regulating and expediing The proceed.
ings OF the House. This was manifest from its
operation yesterday. The bill fixing the property
which shall and shall not be subject to taxation
was under consideration, and afforded prolific
source of debate. There were many speeches,
but, under the new rule they were interesting and
necessarily to the point embracing all the main and
controlling features Of an argument Ideas are
few, and many may be presented in ten minutes
time Elaboration may spin them out to ten hours.
The rule works admirably. It ought to have been
adopted at much earlier period Of the session.
The CAPITOL SouARE-A bill appropriatiug the
small sum of $500 year to the improvement of
the Capitol Square, until the work which has eeen
begun shall be completed, and q further sum of
$1,000 for specific purposes was rejected In the
House OF Delegates Monday night. In view of the
lsvhh appropriations of the public money, by the
present Legislature, for useless purposes the with
holding of this small amount for an object so de.
sirable the improvement of the Public Square, in
its present imperfect and unfinished condition. will
cause surprise with ell who know anything on the
subject. Each days sitting of the Legislature costs
the State $1,000. If the session be abridged only
two days, sufficient amount will be saved to make
the improvement in question, and to place the Pub
lie Square, on which the boosted Capitol of the
State and other public buildings erected, some.
thing more worthy the Capitol Grounds of the
Old Dominion.

promised to give you some account of Portugal one
of the interesting countries of Europe and with
the exception of the small states in the center the
least known on our side of the Atlantic Neither Trade
nor Emigration has brought us much into connection
with it, There are, perhaps fewer Portuguese in the
United States than of any other considerable European
country. The Brazils inhabited and ruled by people
speaking the same language, and of kindred blood,
attract nearly all emigrants from this country And
neither Agricultural products nor our Manufac-
lures find any market here They are either entirely
prohibited or burdened with heavy duties The wines
of Madeira and Oporto and the salt of St. Ubes are
almost the only exports of Portugal the United States
and even these are in less demand than formerly
Portugal is about the sizeof Maine and has ahundred
inhabitants to each square mile Massachusetts,, the
most densey peOped of the States, has eighty four
inhabitants to the square mile.
Its surface is unlike any thing the traveller observes
in our own country. 1t is neither mountainous nor
level The only portion oft which have personally

Tagus north about hundred miles, to the Mondego-

The Last of his Race.

BY W. II, PEIIEs,
He's the last of his race the cred warrior is dead;
In the gloom of the forest they've poved his head;
Meath the which hone still that sad fatal night
The "white man. had sworn to ayenge his delight
The trumpets loud shrill had ceased in its sound
The watchword went low hro the camp the ground,
While the sparkling red flag which had rolled on that day
Lay beside the white tent, the ambush away.
But hark through the forest the calm stiffness is moved
His Likelihood is strewn DER the ground where he stood
He hath fall'n--le him lie, with his ployer and bow
On the scene of his battle by the hand of his foe
The fire for his council shall it blaze
Or curl in the wind meath the suns scorching rays;
The bark which he moored to the wild waters roar,
Shall rest on the bank of his own native shore.
Near the stream where it dashed it rolled on s way
And mingled its surge with the light foaming spray,
The bones of his kindred in silence repose-
Their death song'' sung by the waves that arose
Yet the chiefain hath sunk and his gories Ger;
He has passed from this world to bright adeess shores
In the silence of death and the earhs cold embrace,
He is resting forever, the last Of his race.

ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION OF SALMON.-A
meeting of the salmon fishing proprietors in the
River Tay was held last week at Perth, for the
purpose of considering the question of the artifi-
cal propagation of salmon. The chief speaker
was Mr.. Thomas Ashworth, from Ireland who
stated that his brother and he have, at the pres
ent time, about 10000 young salmon in ponds,
produced by artificial means, which are daily fed
.-i.i- ~..;,Ii I'D. lis brntIer and hn,solf how
ing purchased the Galway salmon fishery in Ire
land, they determined TO try an experiment there
for the artificial propagation Of salmon. A suita-
bic place having been fixed on at Outerard, ope-
ratons were commenced between the 20th Decem.
Der and the lst of January last which was about
a month too late, yet the boxes were prepared in
which the spawn of the salmon were deposited
These boxes were about Is inches square and six
feet in length, with zinc grating in the sluce at
either end. There were 20 boxes in all, which
were filled with gravel or small stones to the
depth Of six inches. To procure the ova and mlt
of the female and male salmon, the fish were TAX
en- by small nets on the spawn fords at night, and
instantly and without injury put into tub one
fourth full of water. The female fish was first
turned on her back, one man holding the tail, an
other running his hands down each side from the
head, and, pressing lightly with his thumbs, the
ova was readily discharged into the tub; a similar
course readily discharged the milt. About $40
salmon were treated in the above Manner and
again returned TO the river. Mr.. Ashworth cx-
planned how the ova and milt were mixed in the
tub, and then taken out of it with cup and de-
posted in the boxes, when it is covered with adj
ditional gravel. There are 10000 young salmon
in these ponds, from two to three inches in length.
The fine zinc gratings were used to prevent both
trout and insects from getting into the ponds, as
they are very destructive to the salmon-fry. The
ponds were about 20 yards in length, and II to
/ yards in breadth; and it is intended to keep
the young salmon in them for 10 months, when
they will have grown about four inches in length.
They would then be able to take care of them
selves on their way TO the sea. He stated also that
/ it was indispensable that the young salmon should
be fed with chopped fresh meat. The current of
water running through the boxes must be pure
and free from mud, and great care was required
to be taken during the periods of incubations,
when the rivers were flooded by heavy rains to
divert the muddy water from the boxes. 1t took
about one hundred days until the spawn gave in
dicaton of life. The expense of this plan of arti-
fetal propagation he did not estimate to exceed a
pound a thousand, which was at the rate of one
farthing per salmon. After some discussion, it
was resolved that the experiment should be tried
in the Tay, and committee was appointed to a
dept the requisite measures.-LOndOn Times.
