HOPE is the lighthouse Of the soul, and

Of disappointment, the Kissing, seething
waves Of suspicion. toward our beacon
hope, which ever shines in the distance,
and which, when we have reached it, may
be obscured by the evening time, or per-
haps, by the shadow of the great rock
which supported it !; but she is gone, and
weary and faint, we turn away, and be

will be safe to transport them sooner than
January 10Th. Between that date and
March 18th, the majority Of the eggs will be
packed up in moss and sent to various points
from the Androscoggin to the Delaware river
A part of them will be kept and Matched out
there, to be placed while very young in the
Penobscot and Saint Croix rivers.
The principal owners in this establishment
are the [. S. government, and the States Of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode
Island. The United States, through the L.
s. Commissioner Of fish and fisheries, Spen-
Ger F. Baird, will control about half of the
eggs. III addition to this supply the commits
sioner expects to receive from the German
government quarter of million of eggs of
the Rhine salmon, which are rendered as
gift, and is negotiating for the purchase of
further supply. All the salmon eggs thus at
his disposal will be distributed among the va
riOus States that have waters suited to the
growth of salmon, from Maine to New Jer-
sey on the Atlantic coast, and along the
great lakes to Wisconsin. Maine will re-
ccl'e IL large siare, anu VIII take IeHOoscot
eggs altogether, the Rhine egg, if they come,
being carried further west. The State will
probably have from this source and from its
share as an original subscriber to the Bucks
port fund, three or four hundred thousand
eggs. The whole number Of salmon eggs
heretofore at the disposal of the commission
ers since they were first appointed is only
about thirty thousand. 1t will therefore be
seen that from this seasons work the project
Of replenishing our rivers with salmon takes
new departure. In future it is confidently
believed that the same expenditure of money
viii secure larger number of eggs, and if a
reasonable sum is placed in the hands of the
Commissioners of fisheries the restoration of
salmon need not be a work Of many years.

Several petitions and bills were introduced
and referred, including bill incorporating Il
United States Bank with capital of $780,
000, 900, and one giving the widow of Gen.
Meade pension of $1,000 year.
Mr.. Dawes of Mass, from the Committee OF
Ways and Means, reported a bill fnr the re-
lief of the sufferers by the fire in Boston, al
lowing a drawback on all materials imported
into the port and district of Boston to be used
and actually used in the construction and
completion Of buildings destroyed In the fire
of the 9th and 10Th of November. Such
drawbacks to be allowed on imported goods
in warehouses on the day that the act goes in
to effect, the act to be in operation one year.
He briefly explained and advocated the bill,
stating that it corresponded with a like bill
| for Chicago at the last session, save that it
did not, as that bill did, exempt lnn'her.
| Mr.. Peters of Maine, remarked, that al
| though the district that he represented would
duty, although the city Of Bangor in his dis

| in proportion than Boston did, he would not
] make any opposition to the bill,
Mr.. Congers OF Michigan, said that. fol-
/ lowing the lead of the gentleman from Mainr

ufactured goods, such as are produced in
I Massachusetts,. might be admitted free of

Mr. Dawes replied that the two eases were

tilted the bill.

4 Ship ut Sea without Rudaer.

| have seen by the papers the loss of a
Bath ship off Cape Horn, having lost her
rudder. | have thought of making two pa.
tent rudders, one on each side of the quarter
of the ship. All ships carry spare spars,
main or foreyard, and two lower tonsail
yards, and will make steering apparatus in
this manner Take the main yard and lay it
across the ships gaagway, and lash it to the
rail on both sides strong, running out at equal
distances on both sides Of the ship. Take
one Of the topsail yards and fasten plank 20
feet long projecting by the end of the yard
eight or ten ftet-the plank should not be
less than two feet wide -fasten it strong to
the yard so it cannot turn, the other end of
the yard made fast to the mainyard close to
the side of the snip, giving the end a little
play. Have a long piece of five inch rope
made fast to the end of the yard, with the
tackle made fast to the end of the mainyard,
with the tacklefall running forward in the
wais. of the ship. Then when you want to
wear ship haul the tackle until it makes an
angle of As degrees from the side of the ship.
This will act like rudder and will wear the
ship round squaring the afteryards, and will
act on the ship the same as ships first rud-
der. Make the other rudder on the other
side, in the same manner, and you can steer
before the wind as well as to wear ship, and
l think could tack ship also. a rope should
be led through the rudder case and made
fast to the end of the plank, to keep the yard
get stern board. The plank should be fas
tened on the outside of the yard and weight
fastened TO the same in case it should not sink
deep enough to take good hold in the water.

salmon Breeding at Buekspors.

The seasons operations at the salmon
breeding establishment at Bucksport have
been remarkably successful. The work of
= taking spawn has now closed, and a million
and half of eggs lie in the Matching troughs.
This is five times as large number as any
establishment in North America ever had be-
tore in single season, and exceeds in nearly
the same ratio the sum total of all the salmon
eggs that have ever been taken in the United
States or imported from abroad. The cost of
obtaining them has been between four and
five dollars per thousand, yet this includes
large outlay for buildings and permanent fin
lures, which will be good formany years use.
Compared with the cost of eggs imported
from Canada, this is very cheap. The Cana
dian Government has an establishment near
Toronto where salmon eggs are offered for
sale at $40 (gold) per thousand Some eggs
have been brought from New Brunswick at a
cost of $l5 and $40 per thousand, but not
many were ever obtained from that source.
The site of operations in Bucksport is near
the outlet of Great Pond, which discharges
its waters through a stream about one mile
long into the Penobscot. A dam has been
thrown across the brook and from it tlume
leads the water into the Matching house.
This is a building seventy feet long and twen-
ty-eight wide. The water as it enters the
building is distributed into sixteen troughs,
each one foot wide and about sixty feet long.
In these troughs lie the eggs. A constant
stream of water passes over them and they
are slowly developing into salmon Nearly
all have reached that stage of development
when the unfecund eggs can be distinguished
from the fecund, and it is found that the lat
ter are 90 or 90 per cent. of the whole. As
the water is very cold it is not supposed that
all of the eggs will reach the stage when it
