The Resources of Alaska,

A writer in tho Alaska Herald
says:
off Alaska had no other source
of revenue but her fisheries, and
they wore fully developed, this ter.
ritory would DO one of the richest
possessions of the United States :;
but even with the partial develop.
m ent of this interest we have much
to be proud of. The salmon fisho-
ries of Sitka alone yield several
thousand barrels yearly. South of
here, along Prince Edward Island
and other localities adjacent there.
to, there are splendid openings for
establishing salmon fisheries. The
Indians catch great numbers, and
to a largo extent live from this
source. Fish is the real staff of
life to the coast tribes. Furs pur.
chase them many articles of use
and luxury, but the finny product
is their main reliance for food.
"There is a mint of money in
tho Shumagin fisheries. At pres
emit perhaps the pioneers of the
trade are not reaping large profits,
but from all l can learn they have
every encouragement to extend
their operations. Pioneers in any
department of life usually have a
hard fight. My own experience,
however, and that of several 9th.
ers, has been both pleasant and
profitable, and l hope the energetic
men who are laying the founda.
tons for building UP vast trade
in the Shumagin speciality will in
time find all their expectations re.
allied. AS the Pacific coast becomes
populated, every thing that Alaska
can produce will very naturally
find an increased market and no
other branch would receive 80 great
an impulse as the Goldfish trade.
The article is equal and in many
respects superior to the New Found.
land species and also to the fish
taken in tho Ochotsk Sea. When
this fact becomes generally known,
our Goldfish will, of course, com.
mand a better price than any
other.
"Our fur trade is another feature
of interest. We take from 5000
to 10000 mink every year, and
from 5000 to 5000 marten. The
number of muskrats killed is set
down at from 5000 to 5000. of
foxes lblue, white, red, gray. ETC. J
there are taken from 1000 to 7 900.
The supply of sea and land OTTER
is abundant, all things considered.
The sea otter is so valuable that in
its quest the bounds of prudence
are not regarded as they should be,
looking to the future. L am unable
to say how many crmine and sable
are killed yearly but with these
and other fur-bearing animals it
will be seen at glance that Alaska
is in this respect very wealthy.
From persons who have recently |
visited Kadiak l learned that mat |
.ers there are very quiet. Several |
vessels called there at the Island |
Turing the summer and brought |
merchandise from San Francisco.
The natives are always overjoyed
when a vessel anchors off their
hores, for they know that there is
IN abundance of the Injuries of
utilization on board. l have OBJ
erved that as the Aleuts gain
knowledge of the customs and hab-
is of white people, they are eager
o adopt them.
Important scientific discoveries
ave been made along the end OF
be Alaskan Peninsula. Travellers
rom Europe and the Eastern States
f the Union find great deal to IN
crest them in the geological, bo-
anical and glacial features of

FIGs. There is no more delicious
or healthful fruit than the fig, and
we are surprised that so little at
tention is given at the South to its
culture and propagation. 1t will
thrive well in any part of the cot
ton States. Figs dried in the sun,
by simply MASKING and placing
them on tins, are superior in flavor
to those imported and will keep as

rho Health of Nnshvine.

The Banner is making lusty appeals
in behalf of reform in the sewerage of
the city. It says the sewerage is bad,
and the sidewalks and cutters mean
and dirty. For once the Banner tells
the truth, if we may judge from the
smell the city emits. Nashville is
tilthy-in fact, nasty-and she has late
ly paid very dearly for her nastiness.
Nashville could better have afforded to
eXpend million or so upon her sewer
age. than to suffer as She has this sum
mer-not alone In the loss of so many
of her citizens by an epidemic which
was bred and fed and fattcd i'm her filth,
but in the loss of business, present and
prospective, by the reputation she
has made all over the world as the
flthiest city in America, considering
the natural advantages she has for
drainage. And 1t Is a little amusing,
and somewhat interesting, to see the eff
forts on the part of Nashville papers,
Nashville physicians aud Nashville poo-
pic to contradict these things. When
Atit lllHb fttillG " 4NuSiiN llltr Ia
pers, physicians and people all denied
it. Then they said 1t was not Asiatic
but sporadic. The medical society met
and graUely settled the matter, and we
believed, and still believe, settled it cor
recuy--that the prevailing disease"
WIS not Asiatic cholera, but a disease
born of the filth of the city and the in
discretions of the people. Now, that the
storm has blown over. and they are not
all dead, the physicians meet again.
Nashville has suffered too much in rep
utation-they must do something to re-
store confidence, Besides, Nashville
physicians might lose caste unless they
make this unprecedented fatality the re-
suit of something more than little To-
cal "prevailing" disease, and they
forthwith resolve It into ASIATIC
CHOLERA, and solemnly trace il from
Rio Janeiro to Nashville. The ice of
the Arctic seas was never half so cool
rs that.

Cholera Deaths.

We have noticed so far that all the
cases of cholera among the negroes in
our city, without an exception, have
been among those who were living off
to themselves, and We're enjoying all
the liberties guaranteed to them by the
fourteenth amendment. Not a single
negro has been affected with it who was
hired to and cooked for a white family,
and who eat exactly what the white
family eat. This may be startling in
formation 10 our colored freedom-seeK-
ers, bat it is none the less true, and is
easily accounted for. When off to
themselves there is no limit TO the guam
tity and less Judgment As TO the quality
of their diet, and they eat with all the
appetite they possess, and the result is
as stated above. This may be "enioy-
ing life and freedom" in a negro phrase,
but then it is a very short life and poor
freedom. NarfreesbOrO Mems.

The Crops.

IL will interest our cotton men to
know that all our later adVices give as
Surance that, between the vigorous
work OF our planters and their laborcrs
and the glorious weather we are enjoy
ing, the crops are coming up out of the
grass finely, and nature smiles once
more most beniguautly Npon eNertiops
well directed. In Mississippi, Alaha-
ma, Georgia and South Carolina, in Ar
kansas and Louisiana. as well as those
parts of uur own State which suffered
most from rains, the dry weather Is

most cheering to the whole country.

The Marshall Gazette of the 18th an
nounces that "Mni. Sykes was in town
last Monday and addressed the citizens
on the subject of railroads. Mr.. Sykes
said he felt satisfied that the Cumber-
land and Ohio Railroad would be built
through that county. Ii was proposed
that Giles county subscribe one hun
drcd and fifty thousand dollars to the
Cumberland and Ohio Road. The peo-
pie of Florence, Ala, are anxious to get
this road, and had sent a committee,
composed OF Judge VIM. b. Wood and
other distinguished gentlemen, to Pu-
laski TO confer in reference to this mat
ter, At Pulaski the Cumberland and
Ohio Road would connect with the
Memphis and Knoxville Road, leading
directly 60 Memphis. Any attempt to
interfere with the Marshall subscrip-
ton could only serve to iniure the Cum

taut 20 the county. The friends Of the
two projects should combine, carry
both into successful operation, and thus
make Marshall one of the best counties

Asiatfc-Not sporadic.

AT a meeting of doctors in Nashville
it was unanimously declared that the
late prevailing disease was nothing
more nor less than Asiatic cholera, and
that it did not arise from local causes (;
that its course had been from Rio Ja-
metro to New Orleans, from thence 20
Memphis, and from thence to Nash
vile; that it accompanied persons from
those places, and that it was greatly ag-
graVated by the use of stale and decay
ing and rotten vegetables from the
South, it having made its first appear
ance near the mouth of the Wilson
Spring branch, where said vegetables
were mostly demanded.
The Mayor has withdrawn all re-
strictions relative to the sale of vegeta-
bles.

In June, according 10 the Gallatin
the Examiner, one person in fifteen Of
its entire population died, and nearly
all of cholera This is a greater loss
in one month than has occurred in the
most siekly year in Calcutta in twelve
months. One in 10 is 62S per cent. of
the population killed in a single month.
The highest death rate in Calcutta has
been less than four per cent. in twelve
months. The death rate in one month
in Gallatin is greater by over 80 per
cent. than any on the Ganges. The
Examiner says:
'If an inhabitant of Gallatin could
have foreseen on the LIST day of june
last that one person in every fifteen
would be lying in grave, he would
have b en- appalled, at the fearful pie
ture. And we are glad our absent
friends were not here to witness the
