A Taking Fish.

This curious and interesting animal is now
on exhibition in Picadily. Its "talking' is
limited to two words, "Mamma" and "Papa,"
which it pronounces pretty distinctly; but of
the merit of its performances there can be no
doubt. At the word Of command, it will
turn over and over, "shake hands" fold its
hands, kiss its keeper, and perform various
maneuvres. 1t is we'll worth seeing.

SSy A recent number of the London Times.
published at the time of the rumors that
Secretary Cobb intended to propose tax up.
on tea and coffee, thus comments upon that
proposition,
"What! tax upon tea ?" we exclaim:
"a tax upon that magical leaf, which ought
to be as sacred in the eye of every American
as the mistletoe was to the Druid, and the
olive was to the Athenian--a tax upon that
plant which ought to remind every Ameri-
can, whenever he hears it mentioned, of the
epoch of independence-a plant, therefore,
which ought to be forever sacred in the Uni
ted States, and forever free from the pollu-
ting touch of the tax-gatherers? 1t was on
the 18th of December 1873, that the citizens
of Boston, in the enthusiasm of patriotic in
dignation, ascended the deck of the Dart
mouth and threw overheard into the sea
eighteen thousand pounds of tea That han
pened to be the article upon which British
Parliament had tested their right to tax
British colony. The attempt, as we all
know, was unsuccessful The name of liber.
ty was lighted up Congress of the several
States met Washington was put at the
head OF colonial army, and the issue Of the
| struggle was American independence-
w neither from patriotic sentiment or because
they like tea or because they did not want
the money, the Americans have laid no duty
on tea from that day to this, when, for the
first time, it appears, a custom duty is to be
laId on tea. and America is actually going to
drink taxed bohea. Reduction of taxation
has been carried to such an extent in the
United States, that the revenue begins to cry
out, and, as some articles or other must suf-
fer the victim selected is tea.
We hear of no public meetings called to
resist this aggression upon the sacred plant,
no combination of patriots and old ladies, of
the Anti English, Southern or Democrat.
and the true Yankee "Know Nothing" who
stands up for true American blood in all its
purity, and old American institutions. An
American selt-impOsed tea-tax certainly
teaches one lesson, and that it is not bad

PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT.-Col Orr, in n re-
cent speech at a barbecue given in his hon
or, uttered the following patriotic and bea-
tiful sentiment
"a cobbler in few hours can DESTROY the
most splendid architectural pile; to restore
it in its symetry and grandeur, is the work of
years of patient toll by master mechanics. 1t
is easier to pull down than to build up. If
the alternative was present to the South. of
continuing in the Union as interiors in the
rights and privileges of a common govern
ment, or to dissolve the Union, we should
not hesitate in choosing the latter. Neither
States nor individuals can look upon life as a
boon, if it is to be spent in disgrace-con-
scious of degradation. My ardent prayer
Is, that no such alternative may ever come
When this government is destroyed, neither
you nor |, your children or my children, will
ever live to see so good a government re-
constructed-a government that gives such
ample protection to all the rights of persons
and property at home and abroad, and re-
quires so little from the citizens in return.
Let us, then, to day resolve that we will
cordially cooperate with patriotic men in all
sections, in maintaining the true principles of
the constitution, and not only thereby obvi-
ate the necessity of revolution but admins
ter the government so justly as to obviate all
the alienation and dscord that prevade this
now prosperous and happy country"
