II. LeOnard'S Day.

At the foot Of the mountains which
8seplrate Bavaria from the States Of
j Nelmar, there is a little city named
Hof which oyerlool,s portion of the
Valleys watered by the Maine Situat-
r. lar from frequentod roads, the mod

s'oms and one finds there still that

'o'eiSher named Loiien. He was a
hatlyc Of Bohemia, and he had former
served in the Austrian army with
H. rank Of Major. But after the peace

GIN. BIRNEY's LAST Hours. During
the progress of the insidious malady
which was the cause of the death of
Gen. Birney, he was frequently deliri-
GUS. During these moments, when
reason was temporarily unseated, he
constantly was under the hallucination
that he was still in the field at the head
OF the proud legions that he had led
so often to victory. He was frequently
heard to exclaim by the anxious watch
ers at his bedside: Bring up the
guns" advance or the left !" and
other military orders, the counterpart
Of those issued on the hattie field. His
last words, spoken in the dehrium that
preceded his death, were "Boys, keep
your eyes on the fag"

How MAcKEREL ARE CAUGHT AND
CURED When a mackerel vessel
reaches place where fish are supposed
to be plentiful, the master furls all his
sails except the mainsail, brings his
vessels bow to the wind, ranges his
crow atintervals along one of her sides,
and, without q mackerel in sight, at
tempts to raise a school by throwing
over bait. The batter stands amid
ships, with the bait box outside the
rail, and with a tin cup nailed to a
long handle he scatters the bait on
the water. If the mackerel appear,
the men throw out short lines, to the
hooks of which a glittering pewter jig
is affixed. The fish, if they bite at all,
generally bite rapidly, and are hauled
in as fast as the most active man can
throw out and draw in line. As they
pull them on board, the fisherman
with jerk, throws the fish into bar
rel standing beside him. SO raven
ously do they bite that sometimes a
barrel full is caught in fifteen minutes
by single man. Some active young
men will haul in and Jerk off a fish and
throw out the line for another with a
single motion, and repeat the act in
so rapid succession that their arms
seem continually on the swing. 30
be high line, that is, to catch the
greatest number of fish, says Sabine,
is an object of earnest desire among
the ambitious and the muscular ease,
the precision and adroitness Of move
ment which such men exhibit in the
strife are admirable. While the school
remains alongside, and will take the
hook, the excitement Of the men, and
the rushing noise Of the fish in their
beautiful and manifold eyolutions in
the water, arrest the attention of the
most careless observer"
Sometimes, after thousands have
been caught by ten or twelve men of
the crew, the mackerel suddenly dis
appear The lines are then thrown
aside, and all hands go to work to
dress the fish the captain or mate first
counting them, and noting down in
the fsh-book what each man has
caught. The mackerel are split and
cleaned, and soaked awhile in barrels
of salt water. They are then washed
and handed to the salter, who puts a
handful of salt in the bottom of bar
rel, takes fish in his right hand, rolls
it in salt, and places it skin downward
in the barrel, till he comes to the top
layer, which is placed skins up and
well covered with salt. When the
vessel returns to port, the fish are
sent on shore to be sorted into three
or four qualities, weighed, re-packed,
re-salted and re-pickled.
The mackerel fishery, as pursued
by the New Englanders, is toilsome
and perilous calling, and success in it
can only lie achieved by great energy
and activity. 1t is carried on chiefly
in schooners averaging fifty tons,
which follow their prey to the Gulf of
st. Lawrence, and even to the bleak
and stormy coast of Labrador-RoJ-

SUrFERINGs OF FEDERAL PRISONERS. -
The T. s. Sanitary Commission have
published a Narrative of Privations
and Suferings of United States Officers
and Soldiers while prisoners of War in
the hands of the Rebel Authorities.
The facts in this terrible arraignment
of the Rebel government are derived
from undoubted sources, and convict
that government Of an inhumanity
which approaches to barbarism. To
find O. parallel for it we must go to
Naples, and study the treatment of po-
litical prisoners by that combination
of mud and blood" King Bomba.
Indeed, this Report of the Sanitary
Commissions Committee of Inquiry,
composed as that Committee is, of
men whose names carry with them the
vouchers of their yeracity, cannot but
have wide influence wherever it is
circulated, whether in America or
Europe. The stories told are some
times so horrible as almost to surpass
belief and would seem to have no
possible existence outside OF Dante's
Inferno, yet they are proved by ev-
licences which no candid mind can re-
sist The brutal malignity which
prompted many of the outrages here
recorded on common decency and
common humanity, is shown from the
fact that they were utterly motiveless
on any grounds of preventing the
escape of prisoners. Anybody who
can read the pamphlet without thrill
ing all over with righteous wrath
against the Confederacy, possesses
GOODNESS of temperament which would
.'refrigerate the tropics"

A STRATEGIC Coon We witnessed
an amusing incident on one of our
suburban streets last Saturday. A
u shionable young lady, got up in the
highest style of the milliners art, and
arrayed in all the glory of five dol
lars yard silk, n twenty dollar bonnet,
and three hundred dollar shawl, was
majestically sweeping along in the di-
rection of the Fair Ground, while Just
behind little boy was leading pet
coon. A countryman in brown
slouched hat and linsey-woolscy
"warmus,' came along, followed b. ~
''yallah" dog, whose nose was SCARED
diagonally, transversely and literally
with the scars of many fiercely con-
tested battle with them embers of the
raccoon family. "Tige" no sooner
saw the ring-tailed representative of
h ancient enemy than he made n
frantic dive for him, accompanied by
a furious bark. Cooney comprehend
ed the situation at glance, bolted in
continently, and sought sanctuary be-
meath the ample circumference Of the
lady's crinoline. The young lady
screamed, while the dog made rapid
circles, snufing the air, and evidently
bewildered to know what had become
of the coon. The situation of the
young lady was critical and cmbarrass-
ing. She was afraid to move for fear
the coon would bite, and the coon de-
cliued to leave his retreat till the dog
had retired. Finally the dog was
stoned of, the boy dragged the coon
from his hiding place, and the young
lady went her way, with a lively con-
seriousness of having experienced new
sensation. As for the coon he WAS in
stantly killed. - Indianapolis Journal.

TnIk on 'Ehnm-r.

The week has passed without any great
sensation. There has been no startling news
from the mines. No deposits Of rich ore
have been found, nor have any been exhausted.
In general, the prices have remained steady
ut the figures which we noted at the begin
ming of last week. We are still satisfied that
the Giyidend-paying mines are worth more
than the prices at which they sell IN the mar
ket. That Is, the business community Will
be content with less than three and half
per cent. profit per month. and that Is the
per centage which the leading mine IS now
paving; while others Of established value are
relatively quite as low in price.
l. is hoped that the new banks about 70 De
opened will put considerable stock Of money
within the reach of the business community
shortly, and thus enable many 70 purchase
who cannot now obtain the cash, though their
credit is good. 1t is difficult to know pre-
cisely the influence exerted on the stock mar
ket by the late calling in of loans, but some
individuals have felt it pretty severely. Inc
general impression is that soon after the new
banks open there will be decided advance.
Several Of the papers in Nevada Territory
are still afflicted with the idea that II they
could only drive gold out Of circulation and
substitute greenbacks, money would De more
abundant. 1t seems almost useless 10 argue
with these men. II they mad little i"iI't'
aritv with financial matters. or would go TO
some commercial centre and carefully exam
inc the effects of a change Of currency they
could place 4 proper estimate on the other
side. As for the assertion that loyalty re-
quires the adoption of the greenback currency
tina, is nothing but an assertion. If parh-
Gle of proof were adduced to show that we
could give any assistance TO the Government
bv adopting it, the assertion might be worthy
Of argument. All the considerations have
been carefully examined in San Francisco,
and the conclusion in the minds of all classes
is that it is best to leave the law and CONNER
cial usage precisely where they are. 1t IS an
easy matter for the Reese River ReyeiIe 10
say that the depreciation in that region IS
owing to the want OF paper money, but incl,
li.ent business men are not to be carried
aWay by such stuff. That country has al,
vanced wonderfully within the last year, ana
there is no cause for establishment or com
plant against San Francisco or gold |! mat
ters move little slower than they dld last
summer. No great silver mining region was
ever fully opened within twepty-four months;
and Reese River must submit TO the general
rule,-S. F. Aka, of Sunday.
