RENTS ~ MONTGOMERY In Moutgofn-
cry Ala, says the Selma Messenger, rents
especially store rents astonsh those W ho
give and those who take them. People
had run out of clothes, and forgot how
cheese and sardines tasted, so they have
gone in with relish and greater number
of stores are sustained than any would
have thought possible. The impression is
that merchandising is being oyeTdone.

DAHIEL WEBSTER AS FisHERMAN.-A
Little Falls (Potomao) correspondent of
the journal Of Commerce, who seems to
have been the furnisher of boats and tackle
for fishermen on the Potomac, writes
Foremost among these fishermen was
Daniel Webster. When Secretary of State,
he used to come here, always early in the
morning, and accompanied by his private
secretary. He liked fresh morning air as
much us any man ever saw, aud when he
talked to me freely about fsh and fishing,
| could believe that he had been in the
business all his life. He was always lib
eral, and where other men would give me
one dollar for q mornings sport, he would
give me ten. And for IN old man, as he
was, he was good fisherman. ] ramem-
Der well the day when he caught his big
gest rockfsh. | had taken him in one of
my boats to the "catting rock :" and as We
swung across the roaring waters, the great
man elapped his hands like child This
fish weighed sixteen pounds, and gave him
much trouble; and when gated the prize,
and we knew it was safe, he dropped his
rod IN the bottom of the boat, Jumped to
his feet, and gave yell--a regular Indian
yell-whieh might have been heard in
Georgetown. He came often, was always
pleasant in his ways, generally on the
ground as early as o'clock; and once he
gave mo as reason for winding up the
sport at O'Clock that he was Obliged to be
at the Department. before noon. But his
fishing days are long since ended.

LrNooLN's ToMB.--During Gen. Grants
late visit TO Springfield, H., he visited
coax Ridge" the burial ground about two
miles FROM the city, which is destined to
receive the body Of President Lincoln. A
gentleman who accompanied him says:
The remains are still uhburied and lie in
the reception house, just as they tame from
Washington, watered by the tears of the
Nation. A guard tent is pitched opposite
TO this house ofthe dead, on rising knoll,
surrounded by trees. Three sentries guard
the sacred remains night aud day, and the
stone doors are kept open, so that the air
may circulate freely through the place. An
iron gate protects the remains from q close
intrusion, although one can see the two
cotiins-those Of the father and the dear
little son. who was carried here from
Washington with him to their final resting
place. s,7.
