A Valuable Lessos-Genius and Honesty.
P, BIackwoods Magasias has the following
Genius may prevent man from becoming
rich: IL does not prevent his being scrupu
lously honest Absorption In ideas, the
pursuit of objects not in themselves market
able, must of course limit the income Of any
man who earns his income by labor Of BRAIN
but 1t does not screen from him the plain
facts of his position. If he is 30 absorbed -
not to be perfectly aware that he has not
earned the money 10 pay for the sherry and
mutton on his table, he ought to be shut up
in. an asylum and if he is aware Of 1t, but
disrepards il, either because it vexes him, or
because his sanguine disposition leads him
to believe that the money will be forthcon-
ing ''some how" then we must lay the blame
on his feeble cOnscientiOusness, not on his
intense intellectual absorption.
II is true that a concentration of the in-
tellect on any subject indispoes, If it does
not unfit, q man for attending closely to
many other matters; though one may note
in passing, that msthematicians and poets
who could find no time to look after the
small matters of finance in their own fami-
lies, found ample time 10 look after the
finance of India and the means of defraying
the national debt.
But granting that genius incapacitates a
man from attending TO domestic matters, we
must still assert that it by no means abselves
him from taking care that those matters are
properly seen to he may resign them into
other hands; and only be careful that no
sophistication misleads his agent. Ghirlan-
dajo bade his brother manage the house; for
himself he would do his utmost to find the
money for il by painting. The same princi-
pie applies even TO men too poor to live
like gentlemen"
1t Is imperative on man to live like a
gentleman only imperative on him TO live
honestly. IF his genius will not procure him
the "common necessariesn (which too often
include host of superfluities) let him earn
those necessaries by some other labor, like
other men.
Spinoza lived by polishing glasses; and
small as the pittanoe was which this secured
him, it was enough for his necessities, and II
preserved his independence. When a PEN
sion was offered to him if he would dedicate
his work to Louis XIV, he declined, "hav-
ing no intention of dedicating any thing to
that monarch. 1t was ascertained after his
death that he had some times lived on two
pence half. penny day.
This was interpreting the necessities very
rigidly; and although it is highly probable
that, had he been an Englishman, his "posi-
tion in society" would not have been very
brilliant on those terms, it is certain that he
would have troubled himself little about his
position in society, finding in philosophy
enough to satisfy his soul.

VALUABLE RAILWAY APPARATUS - I'm
proved Dust Defector.-A new apparatus has
been contrived for protecting railroad pas
sengers from the annoyance caused by dust
and sparks This apparatus or deAector is
simply window, one-half of which is glass,
and the other half wire gauze. The glass,
instead of standing parallel to the side of the
car, sets off at an angle, and defects the dust
and sparks on the outside, and rushing past
the glass, causes strong current from within
to follow it, this current finding egress
through the wire gauze which divides the
aperture or space made by the window
frame; in other words, the glass covers one
half of the window and the wire gauze the
other. The peculisrity of this arrangement
consists in the ingenious manner in which
the whole device is applied to the window,
since it makes no difference which direction
the cars move, the glass pane or defector
can be adjusted to suit and in so speedy a
manner that brakesman can do it while the
car is in motion.

Artificial production of Fish in England.


Artificial Production of Fish in ENGLAND.
The artificial production of fish, and its
more general use as an article of food, are at
tracing attention in England, where the
supply of fresh-water fish is yearly decreas-
ing. The London Times in leading article
on the subject says:
At this moment Commissioners are en-
gagged in investigating the causes which have
led to the decline of salmon in our rivers,
and it will be surprising, indeed, ifthe result
of their inquiries does not create some SEN
sation. Let no man imagine that it is ques-
tion of sport or sentiment, or that salmon are
to be preserved like pheasants or red deer,
for the entertainment of the rich. 1t is lite,
rally a question of cheap food, and nothing
less At Exeter it was put in evidence be-
fore the Commissioners that within the last
100 years-that is, almost within the men,
ory of living man, salmon could be bought
in the market Of that city at penny pound.
We actually shut out fish from our streams
by artificial barriers, and, what with destroy
ing the spawn and poisoning the waters, are
expelliDg them from our coasts at such a
rate, that they will by and by become ex-
tinct as a natural product of English rivers,
The Legislature of New Zealand is now
voting its thousands for the purpose of
naturalizing the very supply which we have
been allowing to perish-so indifferently is
the subject regarded by Englishmen at
home.
This is not speculative question. There
can be no doubt whatever that fresh water
fish might be bred and sent to market as
easily as ducks or geese. The Chinese,
whose necessities drive them to their wits
end for subsistence, thoroughly understand
the value of fish. The waterside population
almost live on this diet, and find it both
wholesome and agreeable. 1t would surely
be no bad thing if we could have our choice
between fish and flesh, and take the former
when the latter became too dear.

ALLEGED InsoIence of Victor Emmanuel to
Garlhaldf

GarlbaIdf
A Mr.. Mason Jones is attracting consider
able attention in London by his lectures on
Garibaldi, whom he has recently visited at
Caprera. Jones is Mazzinist, and very Sc
we're on Cavour. According to his testimony
we are to believe "that from Palermo to
Turin the name of Cavour is received with
yell of execration-that in Milan the Prime
Minister is especially detested-that the
whole secret of his power in the Parliament
is.the use of corruption-that he is regarded
even by persons holding a portfolio under
him at Naples as the pest of Europe, as a
man full of fraud and lies, coward in di-
plomacy, an infidel in religion, or as one
believing in Louis Napoleon for Cod
that Garibaldi loathes him so much as to
have named one of his Caprera donkeys
after bm-that he is babbler and insane"
Jones accuses King Victor Emmanuel of
behaving with unparalleled insOlence and
effrontery toward Garibaldi, the greatest
genius Of the age" He also says that
there are five men whom Garibaldi hates
with almost demOniac hatred; and they are
Farini, Fanti, La Farina, Montezemolo and
Cordova; he regards them all as thieves,
rogues and liars.h Jones all maintains that
treaty was signed three months ago, by
which France is to have the island of Sar-
dlnia and the port of Leghorn or Genoa, in
case Of aiding Sardinia in the expected war
for Venetia. Mszzini has proof of this al
legged fact and has commissioned Jones to
proclaim it to the world.
