The FISHING QUESTION. The following
from the u. s. Agricultural report Tor 1865
NAV be interesting in the present phase OF the
fishing controversy ~
"Seth Green, one Of the Commissioners OF
Fisheries of New York, writes as follows: Last
spripg visited the James, Potomac, Susque-
hanna Delaware, Hudson, Connecticut and
Merrimac Rivers, and find that all the fisheries
are failing. less number Of shad, herring no.
being taken each year. The chiet cause OF THIS
decline is the great amount OF hshiog tackle
used on the rivers, the take being greater than
tbe increase. The rivers can all be restocked
arti6cially, but not without legislation. Iho
fishermen want to take the last fish, but no one
Of them will do any Matching for fear some II,
other fisherman may take some OF the hsh'
sAll the waters Of this country eau
be filled with fish adapted to them Every
acre of water is worth two acres OF land II prop
srly farmed. \ Nothing. however, can be
done without special legislation"

GoNes-None but Cinnamon could
heretofore make gongs to perfection. 1t
used to be supposed that they possessed
the secret of mixing the alloy Of which
the clamorous instruments are formed, or
else some means of tempering the metal
to allow of its being beaten into shape,
and afterwards hardened to sonorous
density. For a genuine gong is brittle,
it vii. crack if struck with hard sub.
stance; and yet it bears hammer-ma
all over it. Whatever he the reason why
American musical instrument makers have
not hitherto supplied gongs, there need no
longer be scarcity in the market, for
French metallurgist has been experiment.
ing upon gong and eymbal metals, and
has revealed the Chinese secret, if secret
it has been. The nature of the alloy has
long been known it consists of eighty
parts of copper to twenty of tin. But the
shaping; attempt to beat this compound
into dish form, and it flies like porcelain.
The trick lies in first heating it, and
hammering it while at dull red heat; it
is then malleaLle as soft mon; allow it to
cool, and it reapses into friability. The
making of gong must be tedious work,
though, for the thin metal will soon cool,
and there must be incessant re-hearings.
a barborians patience must be required
for the task. Perhaps it is the labor thus
spent upon songs that renders them SO
expensive.

When the Sultan Of Turkey fails to
raise money enough to meet State expen-
ses, from the people, we are told that he
makes the deficit by confscating from six
teen to twenty-five per cent. of the salar-
les Of his osicial-hollers. Ia this country
a different plan is pursued. When the
nation cannot meet its expenses, the salar-
les Of officers are increased, and the great.
er the stealage becomes. Tax payers,
however, would not complain if we bor-
rowed an idea from the Sultan. 1t would
be a good plan to carry cut in paying the
national debt.
