Interest in England.

ARGENT cable telegram states that The Bank
of England had put down the rate of interest
to three and a half per cent. Not two
months since that bank put it up to seuen per
cent. ...
What say our wise and excessively pious
,rsllry.law men to this news? They would
tiy interest at six per cent, never to go above
that, and never. to go below it. Yet here is
the. greatest bank in the world of the great.

ing rates within the duration of two months
varying from 81 to per cent. Just think OF
that, gentlemen, and see if you understand
how it is. The great financial legislators o!

not soLoMoNs; and tch'ch?

THE GORGE AT PoRT DEPosIT.-The last
severe spell of frost has rather increased the
dangers from the ultimate breaking up of the
ice.gorse in the Susquehanna. The Their
mometer there stood on Friday morning at
zero; the day before at 16 below zero. On
Thursday it was II degrees above zero in
this city, and on Friday 25 degrees above it.
1t is remarkable how wide the difference in
temperature between this city and Port De-
post. But we may infer from that the vast
advantage the Chesapeake and Ohio line will
have over any line north of it. There has
been on the Chesapeake and Ohio road no
snow this whole winter that would require
the help of n snow-plough to open the way
for the train, while trains north of us have
been delayed, and the snow.plough has been
frequently called into the field.

necticu. MI. BaInD thinks be viii be aoieao
stock tho Delaware, the Susquenanna, inc
Potomac, and Che james with these delicious
fish. OF course they viii be larger thanany
fish we have.
There " In Germany cross between the
saImon and the trout, which is said; TO De
fertile. and not to wander to the sea. Inc
commissioner hopes to get number OF these
for southern rivers. They grow more rapid
Is than the perfect fish, and their flesh Is ex-
cellent. .s.......
The effort to propagate the white fish in
California waters is in progress. There are
quarter of million of eggs in the hands OF
the Government agent soon to be carried to
the Pacific shed. Mr.. BAIRD hopes that he
may succeed In stocking Salt Lake with
white fish and land-loeked salmon. We
hope for no such thing. If he succeeds with
shad and migratory salmon he will surprise
us. The waters OF that lake we apprehend
will kill all that he puts in them.
: Mr.. BAIRD urges upon the Government
the expedIency of introducing foreign fishes.
The land.locked salmon, the European chats
and the smell would flourish in waters of u
certain temperature. The great Danube sal
mon, which sometimes attaiDs the weight of
one hundred pounds, would find suitable
home in the Mississippi and its Tributaries.
The stcret, small kind Of sturgeon found i'll
the yolga and in Russia, would also flourish
in the Mississippi, and is esteemed far above
the t,,rbot. The gouIami, an East India
fish, would thrive in mil.dams and ponds OF
the South. 1t grows rapidly, attains q
weight Of twenty pounds, and Is of unsur-
pissed flavor
He concludes with an appeal to Congress
to extend the operations of fish culture. lie
thinks the supply of fish may be increased to
an almost unlimited degree, making great
addition to the supply Of food, and causing
the waters to producc more to the acre than
the land.
The National Government can hardly en-
glge in a more laudable undertaking. 1t is
every way appropriate that the enterprise
should be national. The rivers pass through
the States, and the fish wander from the
rivers to the sea and back. The fish culture
in one State supplies another; but the Fede-
raj Government may supply nil by working
at Il few points in the territory. The report
of Mr.. BAIRD is encouraging. His plans are
comprehensive, neglecting or emitting no
part of the Union. When we think of the
wonderful results of fish culture and its i'm
mense benefits to society we cannot believe
that Congress will fail to order Its vigorous
prosecution.

A Practical VIEW OF TIE UsURY CUES
T1oy.-rhe question of the utility Of usury
laws is being agitated in Florida, North
Carolina, aud other southern States. The
papers see the folly of the present fixed rate
of six per cent, and it will not be long be-
fore the people of the towns aud their vi
cinty perceive it ulso. But the difficulty is
TO convince the agricultural community. A
North Carolina paper argues dd hominent rs
follows: t...-
1--WE take for example Il farmer or mer'
chant whose condition is perfectly sound,
but whom loan Of money would greatly
benefit. His neighbor has the desired
amount, and would willingly accommodate
him were it not for the fact that he can carry
his money to those States which have q
higher rate Of interest and realize larger
profit. Thus the party is driven from home
in order to be accommodated" a,s .t.~
1t will take some time to convince the
farmers of this, hut we are confident that the
time is not far distant when in all the States
the rate of interest will not be less than eight
per cent, and the State then that raises Its
rate to ten per cent. will do wise thing.
Many of the s!irewd and growing western
States have already found this out, and are
proEtins ut the expense OF their slower
neighbors. baltimore Gazette.

generation to live to see SO much good accom-

strange, for he devoted his lifet the advance
