saw what he please, We will /" suck in the de-
licious Juices of fishes to our hearts content and
be thankful.
But we must catch our fish, as we'll IS our hare,
before we cook him, and it is in the hope of catch
ing him that we have thrown out these lines, thus
baited. into the swarmng school Of our readers.
We pray them TO consider how many mountain
streams there are that might be made to TEEN with
trout. Let them remember the vast number OF
ponds everywhere that now produce only few
miserable pike, perch and pOut, which might be
swarming with the most delicate of fishes. And, if
the good of the fish does not move them, let them
reflect what an estate well-stOcked fsh-pond
might be made by an enterprising citizen. Do they
know the prices that are paid for fishes in the
market? We wish We could say that they are
fabulous. They ought to be so, but they are not
And though their multiplication might, and should,
reduce their prices to a more reasonable figure,
they would still be most remunerative. The pres
ent fish crop of France is said to produce about
81 200, 900 When its waters are replenshed, as
they NAV be in four years, it is estimated that the
amount may reach $3.50, 100000 Cut it down in
any way you like, you cannot escape from the fact
that here is way of taking tribute-mOney Out of
the fishes mouths without miracle We are glad
to see that attention has been drawn to the subject
The Legislature of Massachusetts, appointed Com
mission on the subject last year, which has just
made full Report. DIR. Garlick of Cleveland,
Ohio, ia preparing if he have not already published
it, work which we have no doubt will be yaua-
bic manual on the subject. There will be materials
enough furnished for information to all who wish to
turn their industry this way, and we hope they will
be many.
We know that our unfrlends accuse us OF re-
gardng all as fish that comes to our net. But
We would assure our readers that we have no by
ends nor sinister design in these our exhortations.
Nor would it be just to accuse US of Catholic pro-
cyities, because of this pscivorOus hOmiy of ours
though we are well aware that distinguished gen.
tleman failed of being President of the United
States through such charge made on grounds
quite as material. But we think larger admlx-
ture of lenten entertainment in our national
diet would be of physiological and psychological
advantage For ourself-we do not care who
knows tive are free to admit that we are, what
Southey says Cowper was, "the most ichthyopha-
sous Of men, and We opine that whatever tends to
temper the carnivorous prOpensites of the Ameri-
cans by stimulating their pisciyOracity will be
wholesome to their souls, as well as toOthsome TO
their bodies
Our last European mail brings the following:

NaticRale of GienOble says:
We learn that IS 600 young trout were sent off
few days back from the establishment of psccuture
at La Buisse Voiren for Valence where they are
to be kept for short time to enable them to recover
from any slight injury they may have sustained from
in full vigor, and ate voraciOnsly the food thrown to
them. They intended, it appears for one OF the
fresh-water lakes, situated near the Mediterranean
some hundreds of thousands are to be sent there
