Fish Culture by Farmers.

Some of our contemporaries, says the
Ledger, are very enthusiastic in their
recommendations of "fsh culture by
farmers" This is no new branch of
farming in some localities. The farmers
of Long Island and of the Eastern Coast
of Massachusetts have been engaged in
fish-culture for many years past. Their
favorite species is the menhaden-a
variety of herring. They do not plant
the spawn in ponds, as is now recon-
mended for trout but plant the fish
themselves in the fields. We have never
heard of any young fish being produced
from these paintings; but the crops of
beans, corn, potatoes, cabbages and the
like, are said to be large and profitable.
Many farmers will be as shy about ex-
changing the menhaden culture for
trout, as the oldrst of the speckled trout
are about taking the hook.

The Shah,S Gifts.

Before leaving England the Shah
made some costly presents to several
members of the royal family and the
nobility. To the Queen he gave a set
of very rare and valuable jewels, to the
Prince of Wales his photograph set in
diamonds, and to the Duke of Cam
bridge, as CommaHder-in-C Chief of the
Army, he presented an elegant swords
saying that she rejoiced to place the
sword of Persiain thehand of England. "
A photograph set in diamonds was also
offered to Earl Granville, who extracted
the picture, pressed it to his heart, and
returning the diamonds, explained to
the Shah that much as he thanked him
his position as an English Minister for
bade his receiving present from for
eign monarch. Lady Rawlinson and
the Duchess of Sutherland also received
presents of diamonds from the Shah,
who, at the same time, presented Lord
Morley with valuable snuff-box set
with jewels. He gave $4,000 to the
servants at Buckingham Palace, and
$4,000 to the police of London.

The report of Mr.. Scudamore, the
Director of Postal Telegraphs in Great
Britain, contains romance of the most
original description. After saying how
successful he found the system of en-
ploying male and female clerks to-
gether, and how much the tone OF the
men has been raised by the association,
and how well the women perform the
checking or fault-fnding branches of
the work, he goes on to speak of friend
ships formed between clerks at either
end of the telegraph wire. They begin
by chatting in the intervals of their
work, and very soon become fast friends.
" 1t is a fact, continues Mr.. Scuba
more, "that telegraph clerk in Lon
don, who was engaged on wire in Ber-
lin, formed an acquaintance with and
an attachment for mark the official
style of the language" female clerk
who worked on the same wire in Berlin;
that he made proposal of marriage to
her, and that she accepted him without
ever having seen him. They we're mar
rleu, ana bne HarIldBe, Wn1cn resulted
from the electric afinities, is supposed
to have turned out as we'll as those in
which the senses are more apparently
concerned" Nor must the pruduent
reader run away with the idea that
these young persons were very rash or
that they married without due acquain-
tance. For it is a fact that clerk at
one end of a wire can readily tell by the
way in which the clerk at the other end
does his work "whether he is passion
ate or sulky, cheerful or dull, sanguine
or phlegmatic, ill-natured or good-na-
tured."

How q Pope is Elected.

The prospect of the death of the Pope
attracts interest to the manner of elect
ing his successor. When vacancy oc-
cars in the Papacy, the government of
the Church devolves dd interim, on the
Sacred College. To this body also be-
longs the right of electing q successor
to the deceased Pope. When complete,
the'Sacred College consists of seventy
members, composed of five cardinals OF
the order of bishops, thirty-four of the
order of priests, aud six of the order OF
deacons. This body elects the new
Pope by ballot; and must go on voting
until two-thirds of their number have
agreed upon one name. The election Of
the present Pope was unanimous. To
those who care to discuss the question
of who is to be the successor of Plus
TX. it may be interesting to know that
the nationalities of the forty-five mem
bers of the College are as follows:
Italian, thirty-three French, five /;
German, three English Cardinal Cul-
len), one. 1t will thus be seen that, if
there is anything in the ties of nation
ality, the next Pope ought to be an
italian, as natives of Italy constitute
two-thirds of the Sacred College, with
three votes to spare. To any one who
expects the college to be somewhat per-
meated with modern ideas, an inspec-
tion of their ages is not encouraging.
The united ages of the lot amount to
three thousand and seven years, giving
an everage to each of about sixty-seven
years. Ten of them were born in the
last century, the oldest being the Arch
bishop of CRANBERRY, who is in his
ninety-frst year. The youngest mem
ber of the college is Cardinal Lueien
Bonaparte, who is forty-four years old,
and who will probably be good deal
older before he is again considered an
eligible candidate for the Papal chair.

THE MAKENZIE RAIN. A nri,

The MAKENzIE RAID. A private let
ter received by U. S. Government Of
ficer, from a prominent American in
Mexico, states that the Mexican Govern
ment has no desire to assume an aggres-
sive position toward the United States,
on account of the Mackenzie raid over
the Rio Grande, and it is not feared
that any efforts at retaliation or diplo-
matte complications will be the result.
The truth is, the Mexicans are dealing
with that question very tenderly, and
the punishment Mackenzie inflicted on
the treacherous thieves engaged in dep
relations on the Rio Grande, is not re-
garded as so much of an offense against
international law rs some would have
it appear

The MINNESOTA WHEAT CRoP.-The
Farmers Union, the agricultural organ
of the State of Minnesota, says: "Com-
mencement has been made on the great
wheat harvest of Minnesota for 1873,
and a most bountiful harvest is prom
ised. From a careful estimate we think
the State can exportthis year so, 600, 900
bushels of wheat, provided we have our
usual good weather during harvest, and
provided further the crop escapes
worms and is secured" " The Union
further advises farmers to market their
wheat as soon as possible for fear of
still lower prices.

Worth While for Women to Know.

People are content to understand very
little of the conditions of the comfort
in houses. The question of health may
be left to the care of physicians, and
that of beauty to the architect, but one
would suppose, on matters of comfort,
each one would look out for himself.
There is excuse for this neglect in bust
ness men, who are hardly at home long
enough to know whether q house is
tenable or not j; but it is strange that
women will endure damp, foul odors,
smoke and dust, year after year, with
out trying to remove the nuisance. The
only idea most women have Of suppress
ing any evil of the sort is to "send for
man to fix it." Workmen are not
always to be had, and, if they are, cost
money, and breach of comfort may
last years before everything comes to
gether for its mending. Awoman needs
both muscle and management to take
care of family, unless she can afford
to pay third of her income for these
things in others. The clever woman is
an actual acquaintance, who goes about
her house, spying loose knob here and
screwing it up, springing with her light
plane to smooth down a door that sticks
in the casing, fitting neat strip to
prevent windows rattling, besides
papering, painting, and vanishing with
more nicely than one mechanic out of a
dozen. Such woman is worthy to be
called house-mother, after the good
German word. How can woman live,
year after year, within four walls and
not grow fond of them, and seek to add
to their comfort

A Confession.

1 met her on the cars to-day
I've often met her there before.
She has an arch, enchanting way
Which women envy, men adore.
She is not young-no more am II
Indeed, my beard is white as snow;
But Time has slyly passed her by,
Nor left wrinkle on her brow.
Her eyes are blue as heavens blue;
Her forehead with the lily vies;
Her cheeks have caught the roses hue.
Her hair the sunsets golden dyes.
We meet and chat, and when we part
Perhaps we kiss but neither tells!
And then for hours within my heart
There's music sweet as Ginning bells.
Our talks not of Indifferent things
Of books and pictures, birds and flowers
But things akin to wedding-rings,
Of boys and business, girls and dowers.
Indeed. it is most grave and staid,
AS doth become our time of life;
For we are passing into shade,
And I'm her husband, she's my wife,

When the Shah visited Queen Vic

OCEAN telegraphs serve as well as rail-
roads to illustrate the rule that where
combination is possible competition is
entirely impossible. Owing to the rival
ry of the three companies engaged in
international telegraphy, there has been a
considerable fall in rates of late years,
and the laying Of new cable gave prom
Use Of still greater reduction. But all
these hopes must be abandoned. 1t is

1t would be good policy for this state to
have an intelligent agent one who well ur-
derstands the resources and all the superior
natural advantages of the state, together
with its transcendant inducements for ilnmi-
grants--at the Vienna Exhibition, to pre-
sent the claims and inducements of Virgin.
to the thousands Of Europe, who will be
assembled there and afterwards to make
a careful tour of the continent and of
Great Britain, to make known our great
natural resources fully and clearly to tie
people who may desire or contemplate
emigration to this country, and to
show to them fairly the advantages of
buying the cheap lands in this state over
the wild regions of the West. 49,
A reasonable expenditure for this pur-
pose, would unquestionably return large
per cent. Of profit for the outlay, in bring
ing immigrants of capital and industry into
the state to buy and cultivate its surplus
lands, and help to pay its taxes and debt.
The assembling Of the Exposition at
Vienna is certainly an suspicious occasion
for the operation Of an intelligent and ener-
getic agent for that special purpose, and to
give his undivided attention and labors to
induce emigration from the thousands to
be met with there. i ~ el4H 1iil ~
