ANOTHER FISH SToRY.-We learn from the
Saturday from the Mississippi river, weighing one
hundred and thirty.seven pounds. The most re-
markable thing was that this same fish contained
in his stomach, cannon bah weighing six pounds,
that evidently showed it had been there for long
while. The ball was nicely enclosed in a thin sack
or membrane, thrown round it by nature, which,
no doubt, prevented the iron from injurng the fish,
Various speculations are rife about the matter
But most people believe it to be gunboat fish,
one that followed in the wake Of vessels of war
during the late difficulty, and picked up everything
that was thrown or shot from the boats. 1t is in
deed remarkable.

-Forney, the editor of the Washington Chron-
Scle and the Philadelphia Press, has opened land
agency in connection with my two papers, both
daily" one result of which is the formation of a
company of capitalists, who propose to purchase a
tract of three hundred thousand acres of ftimbered
land in North Carolina, grind up the bark of the
trees, and extract the principle of tannn and saw
up the timber, and then 60 to farming on the
cleared up land on most extensive scale. Ihe
Southern correspondent, who publishes an account
Of this gigantic enterprise states that Forney has
latterly become exceedingly liberal in his political
views touching the South, so much so as quite to
put to shame those who have all along regarded
themselves as conservative and moderate men,
Forney finds that radical virulence has ceased to
be profitable stock, and invests in conservatism
that will be agreeable in the region where his
future possessions lie.
AN eating match against time is the latest

judging from its description in the Tribune, must
have been most disgusting exhibition. Two
weeks ago. bet of $50 was made that a certain

boiled eggs, without drink of any kind. within the
space OF thlrty-six minutes. The match came oh
Saturday. The first II eggs were bolted whole in
143 minutes. The eighteenth stuck fast in the
throat; the operator gulped painfully but the OBJ
struction would not stir. The sufferer seized the
iron handle Of the saucepan which contained the
boiled eggs, and was about to inject the obstruc-
ton when the opposite party called 'foul" The
umpire, with extraordinary judicial perspicacity,
rendered his decision-that the operator might in
ject or eject at pleasure by mechanical aid but the
eggs so injected or elected would not count: He
went on to give his reasons, and got to the third

Ex-President Buchanan's
Tomb

Major Chas. M. Howell has COM
pleted the tomb ordered to be placed
over the remains Of Ex-President
Buchanan. The tomb was designed
by Major Howell, and in accordance
with the wishes of Mr.. Buchanan,
as expressed short time previous
to his death, it has been made in a
plain but substantial manner. The
design and workmanship reflects
great credit upon all concerned. 1t is
plain tomb ornamented with a
wreath of oak leaves and acorns
around the ovolo of the cap; it con-
sists of single block, Italian marble
from the quarries of Carrara. Its
length is six feet three inches, its
width three feet, its hight three feet
six inches. On one side Of the tomb
is carved the name Buchanan on
on the other side is the following in
scription, which was written by Mr..
Buchanan prior to his death with
directions that it should be inscribed
on his tomb, the date Of death, Of
course, being left blank by him:
Here rests the remains of

The Statistical Record of the Gov
eminent Bureau shows that in thir-
teen years, ending with 1868, over
two and half millions of Europeans
emigrated to this country, the great
er number coming from the British
Isles-as is still the case. Great as
is the German influx, it is surpassed
by that of the English-speaking pop
ulation, which in this years up to the
present month, amounts to over
$4,000 hoods, while the Germans
only reaches $4,000. With respect
to those set down as coming from
England-over 10000 in this year
it is beyond doubt that great
numbers Of them are Irish, who come
away from the port Of Liverpool. The
persistence Of the Irish exodus is a
very remarkable thing considering
that it proceeds from population
not mnch larger than that of New
York States. Those people don't seem
to care much for Gladstone's grand
panacea.-Neao rkZr56aue.

to give directions to the United

ant marshals to accompany revenue
officers In the exercise of their duties

General replied that marshals could
serve processes, but there was no law
permitting them to furnish posses, as
requested by the Commissioners. Mr..
Delano then applied to the Secretary
of war and the Secretary of navy, to
furnish soldier end marines, to aid
in the protection Of the officers of the
revenuein the exercise of their duties.
These oficers,in reply, acceded to the
request of the Commissioners, and
will furnish such force as may be
necessary. The districts in which as
