pect Of this great discovery in the paw.
ing ling being introduced upon oul
streets. Wherever it has been used il
has become at once popular as It is
cheaper, m r. durable, less noisy, cleaner
and neater. In San Francisco, Cal, il
has superseded all other kinds, we have
been informed, and many streets which
were paved with it several years ago,
although constantly travelled upon by
the heaviest vehicles, appear TO be as
firm aid as neat as when first paved, not
yet requiring repair, or appearing as Il
they ever would. Upon the peculiar soil
Of u streets this pavement is said TO suit
better than any other, as it is nor elas-
tic and less liable 10 become diSjointed
and e than square block stones,
while the great heat Of our climate will
have the effect Of strengthening il year
after year. We sincerely hope 10 soon
see il atleast replace those abominable
cObble stones on Our suburban streets, if
10 where else. The quiet and peace
afforded by it would fully repay all x
pense. We refer our readers to the adj
vertisement Of it which appears in
another column, in which all its merits
are clearly and briefly stated.
We clip the foregoing paragraph from
the New Orleans Bulletin, and commend
It to the city step-fatbers Of Memphis.

The Artificial ProPase.ion of Fish

1850" 80 n 1eAH AlAN IaN
This is a subject which is Attracting
attention in Canada, no less than in
many other parts of the world, s.t the
present time. Notices have occasionally
appeared in our columns of efforts made
in different parts Of the province to pro-
mote the artificial propagation of fish,
and we now find in the Globe an ac-
count of the experiments Of Mr.. s. Will
mont, of Newcastle, Canada West. This
gentleman, it appears, has given much
attention to the subject, and has
met with very encouraging success.
Mr.. Wilmont obtained permission
TO capture the salmon in the fall
Of the year, W1ruathey are out of season,
and took some Of the fish in a small
stream in the township Of Clark, known
as Wilmont's creek, which emptits into
Lake Ontario. The V of four female
salmon were successfully hatched, and
from these between 10000 and 10000
young salmon were obtained, being kept
in small boxes in Mr.. Wilmontis house.
The feasibility OF propagating salmon a
Thousand miles inland from the sea
being established by these expert
ments, Mr.. Wilmont believe, the
means are within our reach Of re-
ulenishiDg our lakes and rivers to
any extent. 1t is estimated that
the ova Of one salmon were Matched,
the progeny wO1ld equal the whole num-
Der of salmon in the river Tay, in Scot
In the natural progress of propa-
however, not more than one in
5000 v are Matched or come to inatu-
But by the artificial method Ilearly
the ova can De brought TO perfection,
md the marvellous prolific capacity Of
he fish thus be turned TO good account.
1he subject is a very important oni, and
will, no doubt, attract the attention of
he government.

Mrs. Grimage to Geo. Washing
ton Bricks, Esq.

You met me first, four years ago
Well, you did you spiteful creature
When vas in my gushing teens,
As pure in heart. as bright In feature.
| may have talked to you of love
used to be somewhat romantic-
But never meant one half ] said,
No, never was half SO frantic.
A Quartermaster eh forsocth?
Is that your topmost round of glory?
Is that the starry wreath Of fame
Which shone respleDdert in your storys
Quartermaster patience, dear
No wonder that spurued your image,
And turned away with woman's scorn,
To grasp the hand OF Colonel Grimage-
You found me paint and plaster, eh
Wei. really. this is very funny;
The green eyed monster, jealousy,
Has made your temper sweetly runny;
Well, slash away;-I know full well
The height and depth OF each dark meaning
See envy sitting at your heart,
And jealousy in all your dreaming.
never spoke OF that dark wig
With which f" bald awful blank" you cover;
When you declared it was yotr hair,
| never said twas any other
Then let my waterfall alone;
Remember sir those golden tresses
You once adored-'twas years ago,
When you were paying your addresses.
Now may you find a Mrs. Bricks,
Whose roses time can never wilter,
Who wears waterfall like mine,
And sports ten times larger tilter;
Once finding her, within your heart
Enshrine her beauteous, tender image,
Forget you ever were refused
BY your devoted Mrs. Grimage.

THE FREEDMEN.-General Car

Freedmen's Bureau in Tennessee
for June, states that the character
of the freedmen for industry has
stood high. The crops are abun-
dant, and probably the largest ever
raised in the State Notwithstand-
ing this, there has been a disposi-
ton on the part of all classes Of des-
titutc people to look to the Bureau
for support, and he suggests the pro
prietv Of disseminating all issues OF
rations, except to hospitals and or
phan asylums- With reference 10
the temperance cause, which has
been introduced among the freed
men. the Assistant Commissioner
reports, that generally the colored
people DO not sign the pledge
One reason for their indifference
consists in the fact that the colored
preachers are drinking men.

Frcedmen's Schools, reports to Gen
Howard from Mississippi that the

Failure of the impeachment
Movement.


who viii applaud the course pursued
by the National House of Representa-
tives upon the impeachment question.
In the first place the matter was
referred TO the Judiciary Committe
last session. During the interval be-
tween the adjournment and the July
session there was ample time to hear
all important testimony and make up
a report. Indeed. it was given out be-
fore the end of June shat the mem
bers of the Committee had formed and
expressed their opinion upon the CYL
dence before them. 1t was stated
that four were in favor of impeach-
ment, two opposed, and three half
way between or disposed to compro-
mise with their cousciences and their
duty by recommending vote Of cen
sure. The report. made by their
chairman, Mr. Wilson. and remarks
dropped bv other members of the Com
mittee on the floor of the House a few
davs ago, show that this statement
was substantially correct And vet
the Committee wanted, and the House
Time for WHAT Time to form an
opinion? Opinions the members of
the Committee had already formed
and expressed OH the floor of the
House. If the essential evidence was
not all IN they had no business to give
publicity to their opinions. If it was
All IN. there was no good reason, out
side Of party policy, for ostponing a
report and action by the House till
November, which is equivalent to in
definite postponement.
We believe the dissatisfaction with
this course Is very widespread. W t
believe that multitudes Of the people
think that Andrew Johnson richly de
serves impeachment. If those mem
bcrs of the House, who voted TO refer
the matter to the Judiciary Commit
tee, aid not think so, then they were
guilty of intlicting a wanton injury
upon the good name Of the Chief Mag
istratc of the nation They had no
right TO insiuuate that the President

ALRUssrA - Twenty American
citizens residing at \ jctoria, Eancouy-
cr,s Island, have written letter to
Secretary Seward cougratulating him
on the acquisition of Russian Ameri-
ca 10y the United States In the
opinion Of these gentlemen, the eli
mate of the new territory west Of the
Cascade Mountains, is as high as sixty
degrees, and of the numerous islands
/ bordering its shores, is milder than
that Of New England. The pine for
ests are immense in extent and lum-
Der can he shipped with great ease
from the capacious harbors lining the
coast. Mines Of gold silver, copper,
lead, iron and coal are known to ex-
ist. many rich specimens of these min
erals having been brought down to
/ Victoria Although in agricultural
capabilities our new territory is in
ferior to territory lying south Of it,
yet there are large tracts Of land
which, under cultivation, will produce
i most Of the cereals az we'll as the
! harder vegetables of the temperate
/ zone. This testimony, coming from
men who are acquainted with the soil
and climate Of the Northwest coast,
confirms the general impression as to
the value of this recent acquisition.
