PIscIcUI.TURE.-The black bass of the
Ohio In 1854 was transferred from that
river to the Potomac, which is now
abundautly filled with this fine fish,
bass weighing from three to five
pounds being frequently caught in the
latter stream. The transfer, although
in contemplation for several years. was
not accomplished until the railroad to
the Ohio was completed. The first lot
Of young fish was carried In a large
tin bucket, perforated and made to fit
the opening in the water tank of the
locomotive tender, which was supplied
with fresh water at the regular sta
tions. This plan proved completely
successful, and the young and small
black bass arrived ut their destination
alive, fresh and sound. Several other
lots of fish were in this way taken from
the Ohio and deposited in the canal
basin ut Cumberland, Nd, where they
had free access to the Potomac river
and its tributaries. From this small
stock, introduced seventeen years ago,
the Potomac is now filled with black
bass.

woon. WHEAT AND WATER.

At average distances of every two
hundred miles the projected line OF
the North Pacific Railway touches or
Is crossed by navigable streams-the
Mississippi, the Red River Of the
North, the Missouri, the Yellowstone,
the Clarke, the Columbia, the Cowlitz,
all great rivers, bearing ships on their
broad bosoms, and draining, each one
of them, rich and fertile valleys. This
settles the question Of water along the
line of the North Pacific. In the
Northwest, wherever there Is a river
there arc trees. Even the t%reacherous
streams of the prairies r timbered
along their banks. Independent Of
the argument of this natural law, how
ever, we have the concurrent evidence
of all who have seen it that the north
ern belt of the United States, just un-
der the Canada lie, is one Of the best
wooded countries In the world. The
frs of Washington are greater than
the cedars OF Lebanon, and the ash,
maple and oak of the Northern Terri
tories make them the field for the
future lumber trade of the world. The
ties Of the new road, It is we'll known,
are all cut along the line. This settles
the question of wood. Wherever there
are oak forests and pure water there
grows good wheat. Every farmer
knows this. And did the farmers of
Ohio and Pennsylvania want any other
demonstration, they had 1t last year,
when they saw tho wheat of Minnesota
brought down in vast quantities, till it
glutted the seaboard market. The
entire line of the Northern Pacific
runs within the ATTITUDES OF Minnesota,
never going either above or below the
boundaries Of that State. This settles
the question of wheat. Now wherever
there are wood, wheat and water, there
is a farm and n home for n farmer.
This train Of facts should forever ex-
plode the ignorant belief or thought
less fear that the line of the North Pa
clic is too cold n climate for people OF
the Middle States to settle in. These
plain facts, too, do away with the
necessity of argument or explanation.
No need of isothermal lines or climatic
currents to explain the temperature OF
a country where the oaks bear acorns
and the golden grain ripens in the sun,
as elsewhere. In fact, this whole idea
of the extreme Winters of the North
west is a vulgar error that 500 all
smart school children will be ashamed
of. And surely no energetic far
mer need fear to send his boy or invest
his money in a land where water will
run, woods shade, and bread grow
| around the very door of his home.

CURIOUS FACT.-It is a singular fact,
In connection with the tramway. that
when the sun Is shining on tho wire 1t
moves with jerks, and just as soon as
the sun is out of sight 1t runs right
along smoothly. Just to satisfy our
self on this point, we waited on the
Hill yesterday till the sun had gone
down, and found that such was the
case. Mr.. Atwood accounts for the
phenomenon on the hypothesis that
the heat of the sun expands the iron OF
which the rope is made. causing 1t to
slack; and that when the sun goes
down the wire contracts and takes up
this slack.-White Pine Ne,cS.

PARIS AS IT Is.

The; wanton destruction Of the resi-
dences Of NJ. Theirs and Jules Favre,
the sale of the furniture Of the Elysees,
Louvre and Tuilerles palaces, the de-
termination to pull down the Column
of Victory in the Place Vendome, the
wanton m~utilation Of several historical
monuments, the spoliation Of several
of the churches, and the requisition by
the Commune upon the Bank Of France
for ten millions Of francs, are circum-
stapces which, even regarded singly,
would have been dlscreditable, but,
taken en- masse, exhibit an unprece-
denied amount Of barbarism. Seeing
how Paris il now misbehaving, n
may wonder how Louis Napoleon
could have governed that city, as he
certainly did, without much material
opposition, for more than twenty years.
1t must have required a rigid rule in
all-that time to control the elements of
disorder which have been so fearfully
at'work In that once noble city since
the Germans ceased to invest it. As
might have been anticipated, the Eng
lish press has taken occasion, of late,
to declare that "such are the fruits of
Republicanism in France" Whether
knowing OF not, this taunt is no.
"founded on facts" 1t is not Repub-
licanism, but anarchy, which now
reigns In Partisan anarchy, too, Of
the worst description. The Empire
fell, overthrown from its weak founda-
ton by the folly Of its chief, and
France, rs with II simultaneous
thought proclaimed n Republic, which
would now have been in operation
throughout that country If the Com
munists had not come in with their
doctrine that property was robbery,
and that the only way to establish the
principle that one man Is rs good rs
another, was to share everything in
common, so that one man should not
possess more than another, which is
very convenient doctrine for the lazy,
the mischievous and the incapable.
The present possessors Of Paris, who
may be described in the poets words
as "madly Free" apparently have not
yet run their full course. France is
not with them in feeling, and ere long
order will be restored and proper Re-
publican rule DO finally organized.
These, however,
but pant for license, while they spurn control.
And shout for rights, with rspine in their soul"
It Is not Republicanism, we repeat,
which now overridcs Paris-it is utter
disorganization, such as made Madame
Roland exclaim, OH her way to xecu-
ton: 40 Liberty! what crimes are
committed in thy name!"

MAYHEM.- The usual quietude Of
Treasure City was disturbed yesterday
by q ~disgraceful row, during which one
Pat McCue, who some time since ac-
quired n nasty notoriety under the
soubriquet of "Peeping Tom," bit off
the 4 OF n man named Trezoni. We
are not in possession Of the particulars
of the affair, but understand that it
was entirely unprovoked. McCue was
arrested by Marshal Johnny Robinson,
and had an examination before Justice
Crosman, who bound him owe in the
sum of 81, 900 to answer to the charge
of mayhem. The necessary bonds not
being furnished, he was brought down
by Robinson and lodged in the County
Jail.-UhRe Pine NelcS.

A Magnificent Description.

We lay leaning over the bows, now
looking up at the mist blown in never
ending volumed sheets, now at the sail
swelling in the wind before which it fled,
and again down at the water through
which our boat was ploughingits eyanes-
cent furrow. We could see very little.
Portions of the shore would now and
then appear, dim, like reflections from a
furnished mirror, and then fade back
into the cloudy dissolution. Still it was
growing lighter, and the man who was
on the outlook became less anxious in his
forward gaze-less frequent in his calls to
the helmsman. l was lying hflf over
the gunwale, looking into the strange
colored water, blue dimmed with undis-
solved white, when a cry from Charles
made me start and look up. 1t was in
deed a God-like vision. The mist yet
rolled thick below, but away up, far away
and far up, yet as if close at hand, the
clouds were broken into mighty win
dow, through which looked in upon us
huge mountain peak, swathed in snow.
One great level band of darker cloud
crossed its breast, above which rose the
Dtdhs hlNi
utterably solemn and grand, in clouds as
white as its own whiteness. 1t had been
there all the time 1 sank on my knees
in the boat and looked up. With a sud
den sweep the clouds curtained the
mighty window, and the Jungfrau with
drew into its Holy of Holes. 1 am
painfully conscious of the helplessness of
my speech. The vision vanishes from
the words as it vanished from the be-
wildered eyes. But from the mind it
gloriied it has never vanished. have
been more ever since that sight. To
have beheld truth is an apotheosis.
What the truth was / could not tell /; but
1 had seen something which raised me
above my former self and made me long
to rise higher yet. 1t awoke worship,
and belief in the incomprehensible
divine but admitted of being analysed
no more than, in that transient vision,
my intellect could-ere dawning it van
ished-analyze it into the deserts of
rock, the CULTS of green ice and flowing
water, the savage solitudes of snow, the
mysterious miles of draperied mist, that
went to make up the vision, each and all
essential thereto. - ScTibners MONTHLY

A Sad Affair.

Seven men employed as firemen ON
board of the steamer ISmdlid, lying at
New York, obtained leave of absence
and visited many of the drinking saloons
in the lower part of the city. In each
place they visited they had something to
drink. When about midnight they de-
cided upon returning to the ship, they
were all much intoxicated. On going on
board the party retired to their quarters
in the forecastle, where they intended to
sleep. The little room was found to be
very cold, and they set about adopting
some means to warm themselves. One
of them suggested that they should pro-
cure one of the ships buckets and light
a fire in it in order to heat the place.
This plan meeting with the approval of
all hands, the man who made the sug-
gestion went out, and after long search
in his inebriated state, managed to Sc
cure an old water bucket With this he
went again to the room where the rest
OF the party were, some of whom were
laying around the room asleep. With
an auger they bored holes in the bottom
of the bucket. They then procured
some charcoal, and putting into the
bucket, set it on fire, and closing the
door, they also laid themselves down by
the side of it to warm themselves, and
while there they fell asleep. An officer
of the vessel went to the room in the
morning to awaken these unfortunate
men. The fumes of the charcoal still
in the room were almost sitting. On
examination it was discovered that five
of the men were dead, while two others
were in dying and insensible condition.
Their comrades and the officers of the
vessel, did all in their power to resusci-
tate those whom they supposed to be
dead. Medical aid was procured as soon
as possible, and the police notified of
the facts in the case. The surgeon stated
that five of the men were dead, and or
dered the other two to be taken to the
hospital, where the medical attendants
did all in their power to counteract the
effects of the charcoal fumes. The men
are now in a very critical condition, and
if their lives are saved it will only be lit
tie short of miracle.
The names of the unfortunate men
who died from the effects of suffocation
are as follows: Francis Atkins, VIM.
Matheson, VIM. Todd, Archibald Swan,
and James McNevin. The survivors are
John Haynes and Adam Gaul. The ves-
sci is one of the Anchor Line, and had
just arrived from Liverpool.
