A PRovDENTIAL MAN.

There is no aspiration so glorious rs the
desire to do good. Howard, bending over
the couch of sickness and smoothing the
pillow of death, was greater than Napoleon
ut Austcrlitz. And Thomas Holloway, whose
inestimable medicines are subduing disease
Of every type, in every part of the l,abita-
ble globe, is more worthy Of respect and
honor than any warrior that ever drew the
sword. When Kossuth visited the United
States, lie was designated by one Of our
clergy rs the "providentiaI man." Surely,
Professor Holloway, who has come to our
country OH nobler crrand, better deserves
that title. His establishment in New York
has been the fontal source of health to
thousands Of our afflicted fellow citizens
His agencies, established in every city and
town Of the Union, are the peoples dispen-
sarics. What is true of the popularity of
his medicines here, is true throughout the
world; for wherever civilization has penc.
trated, by land or sea, they are known and
appreciated. From Greenland to Terra del
Fuego-from the Mississippi to the Ganges

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

We publish in another column the pro-
ceed'ngs of tho first meeting of the Sons
OF Temperance, resuscitatel, we suppose,
by the recent lectures of Mr.. CAREY among
us. We think it good thing, if they will
but stick to it, and are very much inclined
to puff and blow them up little; but
past experience teaches lis to forbear, for
the reason that they usually blow up them
selves too soon.

WAsIIISGroN, May IA, 1866.
It is undcrstood that tie President will
tomorrow communicate to Congress various
documents and probably message upon
the entire subject Of Central American af.
fairs. The President is evidently in posi-.
ton of great embarrassment upon this and
other questions. Congress recently sent
linn for approval n LilI for deepening the
flats over the channel Of the st. Clair river,
Michigan, and bill for removal Of Oh.
strsctions at the mouth of the Mississippi
In this way the North and South are com
bined upon a subject Of great public inter-
est. An earnest inquiry is raised: "Wiil

The Fisheries Of Monterey, California
Probably there is not in the whole world
coast SO abonndiDg in productive fisheries
as that OF our State. Oregon, and Wash
ington. Sardines, mackerel, Goldfish, and
salmon, are not found in any part Of the
earth's shores as numerous rs they are here.
about. In the summer and fall they arrive
in our bays in such shoals as to aston sll
the stranger.
In September, 1855, the bay of Mon.
terry was visited by such immense shoals of
fish as to astonisll the oldest inliabitants.-
We were wondering eyewitness to this
remarkable piscatory influx. So incredibly
thick were the fish near the beach and
wharf of the town, that they could be taken
by the hand with ease, and boys and men
for two days in the above month, the 7th
and sth, were dipping them up with buck
etc and blankets like so much molassess.-
They would even jump on rocks Of their
own accord. aud the sardines were washed
ashore on the sandy beach by thousands.-
Men were out in boats all day long, haul
ing in mackerel and sardines b. .l,s bucket
full, and catching as many Garracouts by
the hook as their sl,allops could ballast un-
der. One crew actually tipped over their
boat intoa shosliof fsb, and tipped it back
again full Of sasdines and other fsh. h.--.Sas

man of the least pretensien to sense, Or

claims. Greeley, in review of Kansas
