THE BROWy.BIGL,N RACE.
Failure to start the Boats-Disgraceful
Mismn nag emenC.

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. %, 1873.
A strong breeze from the south rendered the
water altogether too rough for the Brown Bign
this morning, aud the referee Sfferir Harding
postponed 1t until five O'Clock this afternoon. The
turning Duoys, mile and a-hal up the course dead
to leeward, became displaced by the wind and II
was arranged that the steam launch OF the Royal
Alfred, which had been placed at the referees dis
posal should leave the dockyard at three =. NJ and
readjust them.
When the referee and committee went
10 board the launch at three O'Clock,
they were informed that the ships commander,
thinking the would not come OF, had sent her
away other service. The referee had then to
drive iour miles, and 1t was about lour O'Clock
when MI. Pryor Browns principal backer was
found. Az he mad charge OF placing the buoys he
went with Barney Blgln to the turning point to
place them right, and while he was gone another
steamer was secured for the JUDGES boat in place
OF the an-o.war launch. The contestants were
sent Tor. few mlIutes before five the launch
steamed up; the referee then proceeded IN her TO
the starting point and although Biglin sent word
that ne was feady to appear at any time he did
not appear, Brown being also unaccountably alb.
sent until a lew minutes before slx when he rowed
out TO the starting point. as evening twilight was
coming on and 1t was TOO late to send the race on.
Indeed, when he came the referee had lett, after
announcing the further postuone pent OF the race.
The people are Justly excited and Indignant over
the palga1le 1rlupdeEns ana mlsmanagehient that
and had there been the organization for manage
ment Of the details which ordinary experience
and prudence should have suggested the result
wouio have already been known. Browns friends
are certainly TO blame and they do not deny
1t. Sheriff Harding said, on postponing
the race, that 1t was not probable he would act rs
referee tomorrow. A meeting Is to be held at the
Halifax Hotel to decide the hour for which the race
will be put down. There was great deal OF drunk
enness and nghting on shore all the afternoon, the
scenes being very disgraceful ana egualed only
by those at the late ST. John regatta. one man
was badly beaten and jumped upon, 80 that he had
to be driven TO the city TO q doctors, and train
had TO be hauled up to stop fight in the cars At
the meeting tonight II was decided that the race
would take place AZ eight O'Clock tomorrow morn

tercsting 10 shipping Merchants.
Before Judge Benedict.
An important decision touching the rights OF
wharfage has just been rendered by Judge Bene-
dict Ii. ID. BoOkman and others brought action
against the canal boat Ann Ryan, her tackle, &C.,
to recover double wharfage, which presents va
rious questions to the effect OF the laws OF the
state Of New York on the subject OF wharfage and
the jurisdiction OF the Admiralty to enforce de-
mand OF this nature.
The Court holds that the general question as to
the Admiralty jurisdiction over demands for
wharfage must be decided IN the affirmative in ac-
cordance with previous decisions both OF this Court
and the Court OF Appeals and then proceeds to ex
anime he questions in this particular case. The
libellant computed his wharfage at Two cents per
ton according to the statute OF 1870 and bases his
demand Tor double wharfage on the first section
thereof The defendant claims that his vessel
comes within the exceptive clause OF that act,
which says that 'all canal boats navigating the
canals, &c, shall pay the same as heretofore" The
Court says the evidence shows that at the time she
used the ibeliant's wharf she was engaged in max.
ing voyages about the barbor and 10 New Jersey,
ana as the exceptive clause spoken of was
intended 10 favor canal navigation only,
she does not come within its purview. IL
was next conteDded that the statute re-
lied on was Unconstitutional because it was tax
on tonnage This, the Court holds. Is not So be-
cause wharfage charges are not duties bat con-
sideration for the use OF private property, which

Of the Charge. In the absence of any
United states states ,,ns law on the subject the
regulations OF commerce. The last clause
provides that "any vessel leaving the wharf with
out paying wharfage, II demanded. shall be liable
TO double rates. and as the libelant proved de-
mand and departure OF the boat without paying
the single wharfage, this claim for double wharf
age IS good, Tor the jurisdiction OF the Admiralty to
enforce demand does not depend on It's origin,
but on its nature as derived from it's relations to
navigation The right to his lien follows as a mat

CARRYING RAILROADS INTO AFRIcl

CARRYING RAILROADS INTO AFRICA
lFrom the New York MALL
Mr.. John Fowler, the English en-
gineer employed by the KedhiVe of
Egypt to survey railroad from the
head waters on the Nile to the fertile
plains of Seudan, has just made his
report. He sets forth in detail his
plan for establishing communication
between this far inland region of AT
rica and the coast of the Mediterra-
mean. OF course the channel of the
Nile is to be utilized so far as possible
for the transportation of merchan-
die, and Mr.. Fowler thinks it would
be practicable for navigation to the
second cataract His method of get
ting around the first cataract is some
thing novel in engineering. A sort
of railway is to be constructed from
the foot of the catarct to the summit
on which will run carriages adapted
for receiving vessels from the river
The vessels will be foated upon the
carriages which will then be forced
MP the incline by means of hydraulic
engines located midway and operated
by the descending water of the cata-
ract. This obstacle passed, the vessel
will 5etake themselves again to the
stream and continue its journey to
the foot of the cateratact of Wada
Walfa, more than one thousand miles
from Alexandria. Here the railroad
is to begin, and is to penetrate the
Nubian desert, cross the Nile by a
bridge at Kohe, and continue to She'd
ney in the Soudan, q distance of $50
kilometers. or something over $50
miles. The cost of the entire work
will be about $20O0O,O0O, and it can
be completed in three years.

A BEAUTIFUL RETRosPECT.-When
the summer day of youth is slowly
wasting away into the nightfall of age,
and the shadows of the past year
grow deeper and deeper as the life
draws to a close, it is pleasant to look
back through the Eistas of time upon
the joys and sorrows of early years.
If we have a home TO shelter, or
hearts to rejoice with us, and friends
who have been gathering around our
freside, then the rough places of our
wayfaring will be worn aud smoothed
away IN the twilight of life, while the
bright sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy, indeed, are those
whose Intercourse with the world has
not changed the course of their holier
feeling, or broken those musical
chords of the heart, whose vibrations
are. SO melodious, so touching in the
evening of age.

FEcUNDrrY OF F1sHEs.-It is said
probably about &C, ,OO0, 900 or 70, 100000
Goldfish are taken from the sea annu-
ally around the shores of Newfound-
land. But even that quantity seems
small when we consider that the cod
yields somethin g like 100000 eggs
each season, and that even 8,000,O00
have been found In the roe ofsa single
cod. Other fish, though not equaling
the cod, are wonderfully productive.
A herring six or seven ounces in
weight is provided with about 10000
oVa. After making all reasonable
allowances for the destruction of the
eggs and of the young, it has been
calculated that in three years single
pair of herrings would produce l54,-
100000. Button said that if pair of
herrings were left to breed and multi
ply undisturbed for period of TWEEN
ty years, they would yield fish bulk
equal to the globe on which we live.
The cod far snrpasses the herring in
fecundity. We're it not that such vast
numbers of eggs are destroyed, fish
would so multiply as to fill the waters
completely.-ScienctJfc american.
