CURIOUS DIscovERy.--Professor Agas-
siz, in exploring the Gulf Stream, made
an extraordinary discovery. 1t was the
finding of a nest built by fish and
floating on the ocean with its living
freight. One of the officers of the
steamer Hassler brought to the Pro-
fessor ball of gulf-weed, which excited
his attention in the highest degreee.
The weed of which it was made was
sargassum, and it was rolled in a ball
bound by threads running in every di-
rection, as if done by human hands.
On being placed in bowl of water its
true character was discovered. The
young fishes were seen in different
stages of development, and the means
by which these nautical architects con-
structed their floating house were rem
dered apparent. Their fins are Ii 9
hands; the pectoral fins are supported
by kind of prolonged wrist-l k ,apren-
dage, and the rays of the vetral are like
rude fingers. The discovery is impor-
tant and remarkable. Accident has re-
vealed their system Of reproduction.
Prof. Agassiz has sent full account of
the matter to Professor Pierce, Of the
U. S. Coast Survey. rtf FFf5-I

A Glance at the Newspaper Business.
W1Uian,ston, s. c.

Few enterprises arc as expensive as newspa.
pers and few are 80 laborious, troublesome and
Great as was the cost of pub
fishing them before the war, it is much greater
since. Except in large cities, where the almost
infinite small profit on each issue counts up by
means of an extended circulation and liberal
advertising, the publication of newspapers en-
tails a loss upon the publishers, and every year
adds to the expense of publishing city newspa-
pers. At the North, in the dense population
of the great Cities where enterprises OF all sorts
are eagerly pushed by advertising, many news
papers realize large fortunes by means OF the
aggregation of small profits; but in the less
crowded cities of the South few newspapers
can do more than barely sustain themselves
under the augmented pressure of expense
Few people have any conception OF the vast
expense and infinite trouble connected with the
publication of newspapers, of the number of
persons employed in the different departments,
and of the vigilance, unremitting labor, per-
plexity and wear and tear. of feeling entailed.
Every week the bills have to be paid There
is no rest day or night. When other people
are abed and asleep newspaper people are at
work. Those who every morning get their
newspapers and see them looking SO fresh and
full. little dream of the labor, care and money
that have been expended upon them. For q
few cents they have the world in miniature pre-
sented to them every morning. All the news
of the previous day has been gathered from all
quarters far nd.near, carefully collated, and
attractively printed. There is the foreign news
intelligence from every quarter of the country,
and relating to all conceivable subjects, and the
local and domestic news. The business man
finds the information he needs, the politician
finds chroniccd all the events in the political
world, the literary man, the general reader and
the lover of gossip, each finds waiting for HIM
the dish adapted to his taste. ALI this varied
mass of matter has been gathered, arranged,
and printed and distributed within twenty-tour
hours.
One would suppose that the public would
hear almost any amount of expense to have
eyery morning such a diversified and interest
ing mass of news and reading matter served up
to them, but strange to say the public are so
unreasonable as to complain oftentimes of the
little expense they are put to, to secure so many
advantages. Nothing is more prevalent than
unreasonable complaints about the price of
newspaper subscriptions. Many persons, IN
deed appear to think that they not only ought.
to have the privilege of directing the course OF
the newspaper they take, but that it ought to
be furnished to them for nothing.
A long observation and experience have sat
is6ed us that there is no class who confer so
many benefits upon the public and are so poor,
ly rewarded as newspaper men.--htcnnono

A RAILWAY BLEss1Na-An experiment of
interest to all travellers has recently been tried
on one of the English railroads. This expert
ment consists in what is known as the '.lunch
basket SYSTEM" devised by a well Known firm
of public caterers, for the accommodation of
the travelling public who have no opportunity
to obtain refreshments on long journeys. The
contractors furnish baskets of an easily porta-
BILE and compact size and form, well stocked
with material for comfortable luncheon, that
is to say, half fowl, ham, bread and butter,
cheese, salad, a pint of claret or other light
beverage, ,,lates, knives and forks, glasses and
napkins, ;he price being three shillings. The
baskets, which are made for the purpose, are
provided with every necessity and convenience,
and inside the lid is affixed printed card re-
questing, that as no deposit is required nor
charge made for the use Of convenicnces in the
basket all of the articles will be replaced in
proper positions, and the basket delivered up
at the end of the journey. American road
managers would do we'll to follow this excellent
example Lunch baskets furnished with the
materials for a comfortable meal will be accep-
ted as a most agreeable substitute for the saloon
System" which is satisfactory to nobody but
the conscienceless proprietors.

LOOK TO Your HoMEs.-The study of agri-
culture may be very interesting, but the busi-

Books are scarce, 80 that, during rainy days or

There is no flower garden without doors, to lend
a fascination to the scene by its fragrance and
beauty; no shade trees, no swings, no cro4uet
grounds, no anything to relieve toll of its hard
ships or make leisure hours profitable. Stingy
and penurious are many such farmers. They
complain of an inability to do these things,
and vet permit their hirelings to 60 forty or
hundred yards from the house to get drinking
water from rickety old well, and so lose time
