s...nner,s Flag Resoln,ion.

The Massachusetts, Legislature has many
appeals to eXpunge the resolutions of CEN
sure of Sumner for his battle flag resolu-
ton. The following is part of Wendell
Phillips appeal:
Mr.. Sumner only asks that the national
flag, under which we compel the citizen to
march, shall not bear any inscription that
ought to give him pain. The flags our ma
tional regiments march under belong as
much to South Carolina as to Massachu-
sets. Georgians will be called to defend
them as much as we are, Is it generous,
is it wise to ask them to pour out their
blood for flag which is written all over
with the disgrace of their fathers? Show
me the community or nation that has ever
inflicted such an insult on any of its peo-
pie. Greece repudiates it France and
Germany scorn it. England allows no
name on any of her flags which can pain

or an Irshman. When, in 1857, L think,
William Pitt took the ban off conquered
Scotland, and called the Highlanders into
the army he gave them back their tartans,

would he have been had he required them
to march under banners where every man
saw written their great disaster, Culloden

A ReAntiful Eahln.

There is German fable which says
ION sultry hot summer day, an honest
old man was ploughing his own field,
when suddenly, under the shade of an oak
he beheld a god-like figure approaching
him. The man started back. Il am Solo

tone. What art thou doing here, old
man. IF thou art Soloman,' was the re-

G.. n. Robinson, business manager of
Robinson's circus, was presented with a
$500 gold watch in Memphis the other day.
The AUdLdnche says that in accepting the
present, which was in a handsomely

was visibly affected, and in vain sought TO
give utterance to his thoughts. Finally,
after a few short gasps, he managed to say,

FEcuNDrTY OF FIsHEs.--It is said that
probably about 60,0Oo,oOO or 7o,0OO,OOo cod
fish are taken from the sea annually around
the shores Of Newfoundland. But even that
quantity seems small when we consider that the
cod yields something like 100000 eggs each
season, and that even s, 900, 900 have been found
in the roc of a single cod Other fish, though
not equalling the cod, are wonderfully pro-
ductive. A herring six or seven ounces in
weight Is provided wiath bout 81, 900 ova. After
making all reasonable allowances for the de-
struction of eggs and Of the young. 1t has
been calculated that in three years q single
pair of behring's would produce 1874, 000 900.
Button said that if a pair of behring's were
left to breed and multiply undisturbcd for a
period of 20 years, they would yield fish
bulk equal to the globe on which we live.
The cod far surpasses the herring in fecundity.
Were it not that vast numbers Of the eggs are
destroyed, fish would so multiply as to ill the
waters completely. -Scientifc american.

PIscJcuIruRE.--Two years ago Seth Green
the well-known pisciculturist, placed shad
spawn in the Genesee river, which runs into
Lake Ontario, and thence by the St. Lawrence
into the sea. II was supposed that in accor-
dance with observed facts, the fish would re-
turn to their Matching place in order to spawn.
Last season the slad appeared in the Genesee
and on May ED, Of this year, five shad two
years old, were caught IN seine on Lake
Ontario, at the mouth Of the river mentioned.
The largest fish was eleven inches long. This
fact supports Mr.. Green's theory, and should
influence the Fish Commissioners of the
Northern Atlantic States to plant shad spawn
In the upper waters of the rivers running into
the sea. a44 sssk n III

MISCELLANY.
THE EMERALDs.

One wintry afternoon in January, away VI
in the bleak attic of a wretched tenemen
house, a pale, sad eyed woman sat sewing
The garment upon which she was engaged wa
a very rich dress. The twilight closed il
rapidly, with binding fall of snow, a
bitter wailing blast that made the windows
rattle in the easements Still the pale-facet
woman stitched on.
Mother, piped a sweet voice from the col
beneath the window, 'shall you get the fine
dress douea Oh, my mother, I'm SO hungry
If | could only have some tea and bit OF
sausage"
She worked on steadily for few moments,
paused only to brush the tear from her white
cheek, then arose and shook out the glimmer-
ing robe.
"Tis done at last" she said. "Now
mothers little girl can have her supper; only
be patient little longer, Flora. Ross, Ross,
where are you. my boye"
A manly little fellow came out from the
little bedroom beyond.
"The fine dress is done, Ross said his
mother "and you must run home with it as
fast as you can. Miss Garcia viii be out of
patience, know Tell her could not finish
it one moment sooner, and ask her to give you
the money. We must have it tonight. And
You can stop in at Mr.. Rays as you come
back and buy some coal and we must have
some bread and tea, and bite of butter, and
you must get a sausage, Ross, for poor little
Flora
"Ill get 'em all, mother" he said, "and
be back in time. You shall have big sau-
sage, little sis, he added, turning toward the
cot.
The girl nodded her curly head, and her
great wistful eyes sparkled with delight.
"And you shall have half of it, Ross, )" she
piped in her slender bird voice.
Hadn't you better put on your thick
jacket, my boy?" continued hisymother.
"The wind cuts like a knife
"Pshaw, little mother; don't mind the
wind" and away he went down the creeking
stairs and out into the storm. Miss Garcia
Fontenay was in perfect furore of impa-
thence and anger. Her dear five hundred
friends were assembled in the halls below and
her handsome dress had not come home.
=
What did that beggar woman mean by disap-
pointing her? AT that moment there was a
ring at the door and a voice in the hall.
"Please tell Miss Garcia my mother could
not finish it any sooner she wants the money
tonight The servant took the handsome
dress and message. uYI
"I'll never give her another stitch of work, !"
cried the angry beauty ought to have had

From the porch at the parlor window Pansie
watched the whole scene, her violet eyes dis

A contempt of work is at the root of the
modern young lady, although it is seldom she
goes to the root of any thing. The young
lady who despises every one who works, and
instead of earning money herself sponges
her living out of hard working and indulgent
relatives, lisa disgrace to her sex. The time
is coming when 1t will be felt that idleness
is as dislionorable for women as for men, and
protest against the idea of people living for
pleasure. There is an old maxim that there
is no evil unless some woman is at the botton
but IL is just as true that no great good was
ever yet achieved that woman did not have
some share in it. 1t will be a great day for
England when the right Of every individual to
do his or her best is recognized. Emily

THE DEv1L OF sTRosa DRINK.

There lived in Brooklyn, not long ago,
man possessed ola devil He had inherited
the devil from his father, i'll the first place, and
had nursed it until it grew 50 strong it took
entire possession Of him. The devil was very
familiar one, and his name was Rum. The
man had many noble instincts, and better than
all these, he had loving, faithful, bravo wife,
who made skilful war upon the demon, her
husbands master. Recognising tile fact that
her husband was under All overpowering i'm
pulse, that he hinged and struggled manfully
to free himself from tho passion FOR drink, she
bent all the energies Of her woman nature
to the task Of helping him. She loved and
suffered and toiled until at last the loving and
suffering and tolng accomplished their pur-
pose She took her husband blythe hand, and
shared with him his struggles, until, after
years of labor. she overcame his devil, and saw
him free man again. Her battle with Rum
had been a fierce one, taxing and wasting her
strength sorely, but he was conquered at last.
Her husband stood upon manly feet, and show
ed no sign Of falling again.
Several years passed away and this reform
ed man fell ill of consumption. The distn-
guished physician from whose lips we have
the story prescribed alcoholic stiinulaats as
the only means possible of prolonging his life.
The poor wife was in terror and begged the
physician to recall the prescription. She told
him of her long struggle and her victory, aud
she preferred that her husband should die
then, sober man, than that he should fill a

THE B0RDENTOWN nRoTHER-I N-LAW
OF PRINCE MURAT.

As curious as 1t may seem, referring to the
early days Of Beau Hickman, calls to memory
quite a different kind of ss sport,n who flour
isl,ed about the same time, both in the ring
and on the race course. His name was
William Frazer, but he was generally known
as Suffering Bill. He was compact, round
shouldered man. weighing about 100 pounds.
we'll skilled in the manly art, " and could
bear deal of punishment. He was handy at
heeling a cock or training q horse, and with a
good. education and natural wit, under the
garb ofllis blinking, suffering manner, he was
somewhat formidable among the sharps. He
had the honor at one time Of outlasting
Yankee Sullivan, by his power of endurance.
although he had to be "burried in clay" for
a long time to recover from his bruises. But
Bills cup of glory was full when the bury
Prince Murat married his sister, who was a
school teacher in Borientown. The Prince
was fond of sport, and Bill was just tho man
to crafty him. The Prince kept quite rae
ing stud of little sorrcls, just fast enough to
lose, and Bill was placed at the head of the
string. Finally, however, the extravagance
of the Prince brought him to grief, and he was
compelled to sell out his stock, retire from
his elegant mansion in the country, and oc-
cupy small house In the town. Although
Bill lost his employment his sister had plenty
of it, as she relieved the Prince in his reduced
circumstances by returning to her occupation
of school teaching. She was splendid wo-
man, physically and mentally, exactly the OPP
poste to her rollicAing brother and her obese
husband. and well adapted to an elevated po-
stion. luckily for her and the prince, they
managed to struggle through until the French
revolution of iS4S placed their cousin Napo-
leon in power. True to the old family iil-
stinct, the President of France sent for the
Prince, and at once gave him remunerative
position--while under the Empire he was ex-
allied still higher, and his daughter, the little
unassumng girl of Bordentown, and the
niece of Suffering Bill, became belle of the
Court.
Since the fall and death of Napoleon, we
have lost sight of the Murats. but we trust
the Prince has saved enough to make himself
comfortable in the future. We ought, in JUS
tice to say, that, although largely in debt
when he left this country, he was not long in
repaying every dollar of obligation when he
obtained the means
AS for Bill, the last time we saw him was
in 1858, when he was looking through the
bars of the Morristown Jail, where he had been
confined on the charge of cheating farmer in
cattle deal He had "cut " the Prince wler
the Prince became reduced, and upon. return
ing to France to recuperate his fortune, tn,
of himself as best he could in America. II

age.-From "Movy" Hamiiton's Sketches IN
