That fishes have an appetite for gold rings is an
ichthyoogical fact we'll known TO all the readers Of
the Arabian Nights and of divers German legends.
That other glitterng objects likewise charm their
eyes and interest their palates is proved by tale Of
horror which might well be called "a Lesson for
Ladies'" The brilliant glow of an August afternoon
lay upon the sparkling waters of Sodus Bay. A
pleasant party in little boat went merry trolling
about, and all was harmony and fish, But alas! q
fearful catastrophe approached One beautiful girl
of fifty Summers or So whose bright young soul had
anticipated nothing but JOY from the excursion.
suddenly found that fish had taken her hook
Sweetly smiling in her glee she bent to lift her
victim into the boat when to her inexpressibe dis
may her gold plate teeth, etc. gently fell into the
waves. What did that strange fish do but shake
the spoon from its mouth, seize the shining prey.
and disappear in the deep, deep water, while wild
scream rang from shore to shore, piercing the very
hearts of all who heard What the fish will do with
his investment remains to be seen; as for tho
young lady, she never smiles now.

Pennsylvania lady has most romantic and
ingenious way of managing the gentleman so happy
as to be her husband. Exasperated by her persist
ent conversation he ungallanty boxed her cars the
other day. The wretched woman cast but one lin
gering reproachful glance upon her lord and fled.
simply observing as she departed that the briny
deep should wash away the insult Leaving behind
her everything most dear and precious to her-tho
home of her married life full of beautiful and cher
ished memories-this heart-broken woman rushed
franticaly to the canal. and with parting sigh.
threw in large stone, which made mighty splash
Then she went and hid herself in the bushes and
gggled while her husband and twenty other mon
hurried up, with horror depicted upon their coun-
tenances and wildly dragged the canal for her body
When the injured wife became convinced that tho
wretch had suffered enough, she appeared from be-
hind the bushes and led him home, resigned and
willing victim.

A thoughtful gastronome declares that the merits
of the French cuisine are precisely those Of the
French classics, Racine and Moliere-delicacy and
correctness They never mix tastes, he says, they
look asance at stufnR, they have little esprit; in
short, they are profoundly classical. The English
school has more of the romantic element about It.
for it does condescend to tastes in spite OF tho
assertion of divers persons that it Is vulgar and
savage to 90 30. THE French observes this crtl-
cal gentleman, are logical and dry, though in
certain sense inventive, and this holds OF all
their arts cooking among the rest" His knowledge
is doubtful, whatever one may say OF his taste.
There is kind of airy, fairy lightness and grace
about French cookery which, if it is MT romantic,
does at least suggest the sentimental. If beef and
cabbage belong to the romantic school, where.

In California, it would appear, drunken
white men who will not work have strong
economic objections against the employment
of Cinnamon. A party of these excited eau
casians drove off the Chinese laborers en-
ployed on some railroad works near Benicia,
the other day, in vindication of their rights
as masters of the soil, on which they do no
labor-if they can help it. A California
correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, whose
letter is printed ON another page, justly
says that the principal opposition to
the Chinese comes from a class called, in
the local slang of the country, HoOdlums.
We may suppose, therefore, that the Benicia
ruffians are of that peculiar and prOscriptive
race. But it cannot be denied that, taking
the country altogether, there is preponder-
ance of sentiment against the Chinese in the
Pacific States. If public opinion were more
decidedly against these Outrages on the meek
Asiatics, there would undoubtedly be fewer of

For the first time in many years, the great
thoroughfares leading to two great ferries OF
this city are free to travel. The final
sweep of the booths on SOuth-st., in the
vicinity of Peck-slip and Beekman-st, was
made on Saturday and at least one ferry
on the East River and another on the North
River may be said to be free of shanty-
nuisances. 1t is natural that there should
be some grumbling by those who have
been despoiled of their property in
terests they certainly have the sym
pathy of all generous people; but it was their
misfortune that their rights, whatever they
may have been, stood in the way of the public
interest, which dominates all smaller considera-
TONS They were obliged to go down before
the great necessity of the case; and, now that
these unwholesome excrescences have been
swept away, we may well wonder that New
York so long tolerated an abuse which would
not be countenanced by any other city in the
Republic.

| That grand work of civil engineering OF

Iron and steel are the connecting links that
Join the piers. The arch Of the span is four
hollow cylindrical tubes below and above
eight in all, each separate piece is made of
bars Of steel about twelve feet long and two
inches IN thickness, enclosed in Il sheath Of
boiler iron The ends of these bars come
together and are coupled by heavy clamp
| like the pieces Of hose Of fire engine The
tube so formed is II inches in diameter ON
the inside and is of great weight The bridge
is built from the piers and is Scli.sustaining
! for distance of sixty or seventy feet it Is
then helped by immense cables or bars OF
steel in the form Of braces running over the
tops of the piers In this way the bridge
was built, piece by piece added at IA time, and

France is in an exceedingly unsettled state
on the question of permanently organizing
the republic or prOclaiming a monarchy,
The assembly is composed Of 13G members, of

opposed to "A republic, and the rest doubtful.
The candidate Of the monarchiss for the

Count would agree TO accept limited mon
archy, with constitution and responsible
ministry, it is believed he could command Il
majority of the assembly; but he steadily re-
fuses to accept any terms but the old tradi-
tional monarchy like that of Louis XIV.

(FIom the Minneapolis Tribune, April3)
How can the public secular press be
made lributaryto the prosperity Of Evan
gelical Christianity" This is the trying
question that was discussed at the New
York Ministers Meeting last work Mon
dsy, "HOw TO make tho daily Journals
representative of tho Cause OF Christ y
this is the way one earnest Methodist put
the problem. And it was decided, as far
US ii was decided at all, that the only way
TO effect that desirable contamination
would be 10 convert the editors and re-
porters by bringing them 10 sense OF
their exceeding slniulnesS and tue neccs-
sity of their salvation through the mGdita
ton and interCessiOn OF an aIOning Savior.
1t seems 70 us that the agitation Is u
timely and most necessary one, from the
Christian point OF view. The ST. Paul
Press urges that there is no reason for il,
because It assumes that the ministers de-
mand is for religious tracts, put upin the
shape OF daily newspapers, from which all
record of current events is carefully OK
cludcd," and then II fights this man OF
straw and knocks II over, by alleging,
truly enough, that the people do not want
and would not pay for Journals contain
ing only hOmilies and sermons only
moral and religious news and moral and
religious reflections" OF course no such
paper would be supported; aud the New
York Ministers meeting did not ask for
any such paper. All ministers OF sense
want tho news; they want the daily
chronicle Of current events, the politics,
the markets, the fashions, even IN abstract
of the crimes; but they would like to have
all these presented from Il Christian point
Of yiey-wilh an evangelical framing.
in fact, they would like 10 have the jour
nalisis of the country orthodox Christians
instead Of Nationalist, as they now are
with scarcely an exception.
We have said there was need oil alarm
on the part Of the orthodox Churches.
