His BEST END.-There arrived in Louis
vile, a few days ago, on foot all the way from
Mississippi, a venerable sick negro, who had
trudged all the weary distance thiher to OBJ
tain hospital treatment and was accompanied
by small brown dog. When told, says the
CourierJournai that he must give up his dog
before he could go to the City Hospital, the
poor old man took the dog in his arms, and,
with tears running down his face, replied that
the dog was the best friend he had in the
world, ard that he'would rather die from want
in the streets with his dog Tim, than live in
comfort without him. This exhibition of af-
fiction was irresistible and the Commissioner
gave him permit to enter the hospital, and
to carry his dog with him; at the same time
giving him money to buy muzzle, in order
that the dog might enjoy the limits of the hos
pital grounds.

PROPAGATION OF FlsH.-A New York Herald
reporter has had long and interesting talk
with Seth Green, the ardent and indelatigable
pisciculturist, in which he expressed himself
as follows
1t is too bad when VIC have thousands and
thousands Of miles of rivers and brooks, and
vast lakes, to say nothing of the minor ponds,
that we should not be, as we are by nature,
the greatest fsh-raising people in the world
II you get all the people of America eating
shad, white fish, salmon and bass, and if Won
breed these fish so that il only costs the trouble
to seine them, most important and nutritious
article of food is on the table for mere song
People viii eat fish instead of beef Beef being
in small demand will thus cheaper, and so
with all other meats in comparisons Now
what does all this mean 1t means the ele-
walton of the laboring classes. 1t tells one
that he can go 10 Wonder lake or brook, catch
his fish and have them on his table. Socially
and morally, fish culture is blessing and a
boon to toiing Humanity. am surprised
that people do not see the economy involved
in it.

POINTED AND TRuE.-The New York Golden
Age, n semi-religious paper, comments with
severity upon the late parricidal tragedy in
that city. Says the editor 'This young as
sassin, Frank IL. Walworth, from the motive
which impelled him, the courage oil his beha-
vior, and his unshrinking determination to
face squarely the consequences of his act, will
be the hero of some shallow eulogists. But
he should be scourged by the stroke of a pub
lie opinion that will brush off the tinsel and
glitter of this kind of bravado, and leave him
10 appear exactly what he is--a cold blooded
parricide. The law of revenge is too widely
Practised aud defended by society. 1t should
be abolished from every mans code of honor.
1t has no fit place in the soul of any proud
and sclf-respecting mar, no matter what are
his grievances. In this case it mserably fall
ed of its purpose, and magnifed the i'll which
it sought TO cure. For instance, what has
young Walworth done for his mother except
TO publish her miseries, add to her anguish
and hasten her to the grave" The case could
not be more graphically presented in its facts
and moral bearings than in this brief para
graph, and we are glad TO see it so effectively
summed up in such quarter.-Bzlto. San.

SPEcK OF WAR.-Gen Mckenzie who
commands at Fort Clarke, Texas, recently
crossed into Mexico in pursuit of the Kickapoo
and Lipan Indians whose depredations upon
the inhabitants of the United States along the
border has rendered such step necessary, as
the Mexican authorities afforded no redress to
the sufferers. In thus assuming the response
bilty of passing into Mexico in pursuit of
these desperadoes, Gen. Mckenzie has proba-
bly, made direct issue between the govern
ments of the United States and Mexico. 1t is
understood that President Grant fully srstains
the action of Gen Mckenzie, for however vio-
lative ii may seem Of the law of nations,
prompt measures were necessary, because the
Mexicans are about as perGdious as the Indi-
ans. The case may thus be summed up:
For months past the Lipans and Kckapoos
have made raids across the Rio Grande and
Their camp was within the territorial limits Of
Mexico, and it is said that they have been
joined by large numbers of Mexican marau-
dcrs. The cattle stolen by them have been
sold to Mexican rancheros. The frequent ana
bloody ncursons Of these savages have crca-
ted great alarm all along the frontier, and it
appears that Gen. Mckenzie at length resolved
TO follow them TO their camp near the Santa
Rosa mountains, on Mexican SOIL and strike o
blow that would put stop TO these incur
sions. Accordingly, on The l7Ih Of May with
six hundred cavalry. he crossed the Rio
Grande, and by forced march of so miles
into Mexico, reached the camp at early dawn
and made an attack. The Indians taken by
surprise. offered but slight resistance. Many
fed to the mountains. Nineteen Of ;hcir war
riors were killed and about as many woun-
ded. Forty squaws were captured, and hum
dred'horses, together with mnch other stolen
property, were recovered. The loss of the
troops was one killed and two wounded Gen
Mckenzie recrossed he Rio Grande with his
prisoners and the re-captured property and
returned 10 the fort 1t is said that the troops
were fred on by Mexicans while rc-crossing
the Rio Grande and that great excitement
prevails on the Mexican frontier.

A correspondent of the Loudoun Enterprise,
writing from Alexandria, under date of June
9th, thus expresses himself in favor of the Me-
tropolitan r. r., which we copy as well for
the benefit as the amusement of our readers:
took a short run yesterday, up into Mont
gomery, Maryland, on the new Metropolitan
Railroad. 1t had been some time since had
visited that part of this old county of Mary
land my Maryland, and though, some years
ago, | was MS familiar with every part of it as
am now with any spot Of Loudoun, ! felt as
ii WAS in new country, with new people,
and new ''ideas.' II was then as torpid and
sleepy as the Short Hill, noddng under the
sultrv heat Of midsummer noon, but now it
is all life and activity, crowds of people hur-
rying hither and thither, and every body
lively and busy
1t is throbbing with the mighty pulsations
of one of the greatest arteries of trade and
travel in the country, which seems to shake
the hills and make the valleys trembe with
the energy of their own concentrated powers
and purposes.
was amused in Rockville to see the won
der with which the people there look on the
trains dashing along, il is something so new
to them and it was something so new 10 me
there that wondered too and could scarcely
believe my eyes.
The people come from every direction, on
foot, in carriages, on horseback to look and
wonder, as if their astonishment could never
be abated or their curiosity satisfied; and OF
course every one is anxious to take ride on
the new railroad, and the cars are crowded
with people who suddenly have business in
Washington.
Montgomery is all aglow with anticipation
of great blessings to be conferred upon her by
the Metropolitan Railroad, and she will moi
be disappointed in her expectations.
