er has bushel OF grain been in it's
hoppers. Since that time Dean Rich
mond and many Others Of the original
contractors have died, but never for
an hour has the elevator been left in
a condition that il could not receive
consignments of grain from the rail
road, thereby voiding the contract. 1t
has been kept in perfect repair, its
engineers ready to fire up at a mo-
ments notice, and not an opportunity
has been offered by which the com.
pany might be taken unawares.
Strang sc passing through the place
lave v L~eriully inquired the mean
ing of this strange inactivity, and have
wondered still more when told the cir.
cumstsnces. But the sequel is clearly
shown in the announcement that one
day last week, A. w Richmond, son of
the late Dean Richmond, arrived at
Dubuque and at cncc instituted shit
against the Illinois Central Railroad
for an amount involving now some
$500, 900, and increasing all the time.
IL IS claimed that the Central Company
in leasing the Dubuque road assumed
all its obligations. There have been
several trials already, involving the
main point at issue, all terminating in
favor of the plaintiff.
The Shad aud Herring Fisheries
The season for the prosecution OF
shad and herring fishing IN North Car.
olina waters has already commenced
the receipts Of shad by the Norfolk
boat being about ten barrels, which is
now The daily average. The supply
will gradually increase, until it reaches
90 and then 100 barrels per day. The
first North Carolina shad are caught in
Albermarel and Pamlico Sounds, in
stake nets, each thlrty.six feet long,
aud $4,000 or C,000 of these nets arc
set, and are fished by men in small
boats, 200 nets being managed by one
boat. From 500,0 to 1000, 900 shad
are caught in this way every season.
These fish are at once packed in ice,
and in fifteen hours are in Norfolk,
and in twenty-four hours after
being caught are landed in this
city. From here many are shipped
to points in the West. In March the
ANOibA SliOlluu ABOUT IgtPlIOn
are in full blast, the enormous hauls of
shad and herring being landed by
means of seine. At least one million
shad and many more herring are here
caught, the shipments reaching from
one hundred to five hundred large
boxes each day. The North Carolina
fish are considered superior, because
they are caught as they leave the sea,
and are always fat and in excellent
condition. Shad first reached here
this season early in January, having
been caught in the st. Johns River,
Florida, and brought to Baltimore by
the Savannah steamers. These fish
are generally poor, and whilst North
Carolina shad now sell at $50 per hun
dred, the Florida article commands
but $50. The Potomac and Maryland
shad and herring fishermen commence
operations about the first of April, and
the same fish are not caught in the
waters north of here until as late as
May and June. - Baltimore american.

POETRY.
For the Press.l
June.

Where drowsy willows nod and sign
An angler by brook doth lie
Upon his hook painted fly
A dreams soft shadow in his eye
Thus, like charmed prince he seems,
Destined glorious prize to win;
Which, like a jewellei javelin,
Poised as in air on quivering fin,
Before his vision CLEANS.
With purest blue the blissful sky
Pavillions him right royalty.
Sometimes an oriole flames on high
A bee, impetuous, sparkles by;
A bobolink, ecstatic, filings
Bubbles Of music on the air.
And SO, he gathers everywhere,
All sparkling, joys together, there,
Like pearls on silken strings.

RELIGION AND ARCHITECTURE. - TIL
outside form of every Gothic cathedral must
be considered imperfect if it does not termi-
nate in something pyramidal. The especial
want of all Greek and Roman buildings with
which we are acquainted is the absence-save
III few and unimportant cases-of the pyr-
amidal form. The Egyptians knew at least
the worth of the obesk but the Greeks and
Romans hardly knew even that; their build
ings are flat-topped. Their builders were con-
tented with the earth rs it was. There was
a great truth involved in that; which am the
last to deny. But religions which, like Budd-
hist or the Christian, nurse a noble self-dis-
content are sure 20 adopt sooner or later an
upward and aspiring form OF building. 1t Is
not merely that, fancying heaven TO be above
earth, they point toward heaven. There is a
deeper natural language in the pyramidal
form of a growing tree. 1t symbolizes growth
or the desire of growth. The Norman tower
does nothing OF the kind. 1t does not aspire
to grew. Look-I mention an instance with
which l am most tamliar-at the Norman
tower of Bury st. Edmund's. 1t is graceful
awful, ii you will-but there is no aspira-
ton in it. 1t is stately, but selt-conten'. It's
horizontal courses, circular arches, ABOVE an
its fiat skyline, seem 10 have risen enough; |;
and wish to rise no higher. For 1t has no
touch of unrest of soul. which is expressed
by the splre, and still more by the compound
spirc. with its pinnacles crockets, finals, which
are finals only in name: for they do not nnisf,
and are really terminal buds, as 1t were, long
| ing to open and grow upward, even as Ire
crokets are braets and leaves thrown off s
! the shoot has grown.-[Canon Kingsley.
