FOREIGN NOTES.-The London Times
says: No one ever thought Of proceed
ing against Mr. Train for his Fenian
demonstration in the United States.
The seizure of his person and papers
was essentially preventive measure,
which only could have been taken in
Ireland, where the habcds col1ts act is
suspended"
About $50 guests at the Langham Ho-
tel, London, recently partook Of Il dim
ner cooked from three horses of the re-
spective ages Of 1, 20 and y years, two
of them having been cart horses. The
meat was served up in q variety of ways,
while the photographs of the horses
were handed round the table. The re-
porterofthe London Times says "This,
we think, would be the conclusion of
an average diner, who was neither en-
thusiastic nor prejudiced; it is quite
possible to dine off horse, even at your
first meal, without nausea. With very
little effort of cookery, you Will hardly
distinguish it from beef At your next
meal your appetite may come in eat
ing
Mr.. Roebuck, NJ. p, who was so Off
cious in behalf of the rebels during our
war. recently had the impudenee to de-
clare that " England's happiness, to a
great extent, is bound up with that of
America; that we are nearly related,
and the faults and virtues of both peo-
pie are very much alike" &c.
The London Daily Ne,es says that
some of the most experienced journal
| lists in India consider that eighteen
months is the shortest time that can be
assigned to the occupation of the British
forces in Abyssinia, while two years is
the most probable term.
A despatch from Florence, dated Feb.

PIscCULTURE.-Col E. B. Sawyer,
editor of the Ne,gsdedier, who is raising
trout by the million in one of the clear
streams of Lamoille County, says:
Our experimenting iscicuIture is prov
ing a success this year. Thousands of
the little speckled fellows have already
burst the thin integument which bound
them, and are now balancing over their
little pod bellies in n most cOmical man
ner and thousands more are going to
do likewise. Our parent fish are win
tering splendidly. Some days when the
ice is clear thousands may be seen
through it, and they present most gor-
geous spectacle. Only one of our ponds
freezes over ut all, and in that the ice Is
so thin that when the snow is off it can
be seen through as clearly a. glass. 1t
is a great joke to throw a piece of raw
liver on to this clear ice. A thousand
will start for it at once, and bunting
their noses against the ice quite violent

ed air quite human But we are not

the President anal Gen. Sherman.

The uneasy and misunderstanding oc-
cupant of the White House has been
trying to make a tool of General Sher
man and signally failed. On the 18th
inst. he promulgated an order creating
military division to be called the
i" Military Division OF the Atlantic" to
be composed of the Department of the
Lakes, the Department Of the East and
the Department of Washington, and to
be commanded by Gen. w. T. sherman
with his headquarters al Washington.
About the same time the President nom
mated sherman General by brcvet. On
being informed of what the President
had done he telegraphed to his brother
al Washington, Senator sherman, tlat
his nomination rs Brevct General was
without precedent, and that he wished
the Senate would reject the nomination.
He furthermore said he would obey or
ders, but if it was Insisted upon
that he should remain at the head Of
the new department at Washington lie
should resign his commission in the ar
my The Senate on Friday referred the
nomination to the Committee on MILF
tary affairs, who have reported adverse
ly upon it.
The evident design of this last move
ment of the President was to annoy as
much as possible Gen. Grant, who prov
cd more than a match for the President
in the recent controversy, the main por-
ion of which have been printed ia the
Transcript. II the Presidents pro-
CRANE had been carried out the duties
now performed by the General of the
army could be performed by Gen. Shcr-
man; but this officer is to be caught in
no such trap. Gems Grant and Sher-
man are intimate friends; and it IS
not to be supposed that one would un-
necessarily array himself against the
other. The firm stand taken by Gen
sherman is in the highest degree com
mendable, and gives the country fur
Their insight into the noble and s0ldierly
characteristics of the man. As a soldier
he viii obey orders but if it is insisted
that he must be at the head of the new
Department he shall resign. Can the
country afford TO lose the services ofsuch
an officer The Washington correspon-
dent of the Boston Post says that Mr..
Johnson has been striking in the dark
in this matter" OF this there is no
doubt; he is in the habit of " striking
in this way and every such stroke
proves more injurious to himself than
to any one else.

nag- We have before called the atten-
ton of our readers to the American Or
gan, manufactured by :. ID. x II. w.
Smith, Boston Mass. We feel at per-
feet liberty to do 50, because we have
used them practically, and believe most
confidently that they possess every ex--
cellence to be desired. To the lover of
music, such an instrument in the house
hold is constant delight. For the Sun
day School and the Chapel, it is most
admirable substitute for the pipe Organ.
There is wonderful quantity of music
in one of these beautiful instruments,
and we are glad to learn that they are
being appreciated by the public. The
manufacture and sale has become an ex-
tensive business, and the demand Is
constantly inereasing.-&. LOUIS no.

TRIAL OF DIR. TYNG.-ReV. Stephen
ii. Tying, Jr., son of Rev. DR.. Tying, of
New York city, has been on trial in New
York, before an ecclesiastical court, for
preaching in Methodist church in
New Brunswick From the evidence
it seems that there are two Episcopal
churches in New Brunswick, and a
Methodist church not far distant from
either. One Sunday, in July last, Mr..
Tying preached in in the Methodist
church without the consent of the rec
tors of the Episcopal churches. The pas
tors of the Methodist, the Reformed and
| the Presbyterian churches occupied the
pulpit with him, but, we believe, took
no part in the services. Mr.. Tying
read portion of the regular service of
the day from the Episcopal prayer-book
and a hymn from the Methodist hymn
book. He wore neither gown nor sur
phce, but was dressed in suit of black

was complained of by the rectors of the
Episcopal churches, one of whom 10 tbe

INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT

interview with the President. He says: :
"The subject of the next Presidency
came mp i'm the course of the CONVERSE
ti0n Mr. johnson was n0n-cOmmittal.
but inquisitive as To candidates. He
asked me how Pendleton stood in the
West. and what strength he had as 3
candidate. I replied that I thought Mr..
Pendleton's principal strength was in
his personal popularity among the Ohio
Democrats, and that it did not extend
much beyond where me was personally
known to the people. He did not think
chat the result I'm the Eighth District
looked well for PendletOn
He spoke of Mcclellan and asked me
how Z thought he'd run. | replied that
Mcclellan seemed to have some strength
I'm the East but | didn't think il would
prove very strong in the National Con-
veutiOn The last campaign took all
the music out of Mcclellan name.
In conclusion on this topic, / told the
President there were a great many
Democrats and q great many who used
To act with the Republicans. who con-
sidcred him the strongest and most avail
able candidate to oppose the radicals
with. He didn't know about that, but
he believed it to be quite possible to find
a man who would carry the North
against the radicals"
