The Shad and Herring Fisheries.

The season for the prosecution of
shad and herring fishing in North Caro-
lima 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 fifty
and then hundred barrels per day.
The first North Carolina shad are caught
in Albermarle and Pamlico sounds, in
stake nets, each thirty-six feet long,
and $1,000 or 10000 of these nets ARE
set, and are tished by men in small
boats, 200 nets being managed by one
boat. From 500, 200 to 100000 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
arc landed in this city. From here
many arc shipped to points in the west.
In March tho North Carolina fisheries
about Edenton arc in full blast, the
enormous hauls of sbad and herring
being landed by means of seines. At
least one million shad and many more
herrings are here caught, the shipments
reaching from one hundred to five hun
dred large boxes each day. The North
Carolina fish arc considered superior,
because they are caught as they leave
the sea, and are always fat and in ex-
cellcnt condition. Shad first reached
here this season carly in January, hav-
ing been caught in the st. Johns river,
Florida, and brought to Baltimore by
the Savannah steamers. These fish are
generally poor, and whilst North Caro-
lima shad NV sell at sixty dollars per
hundred, the Florida article commands
but thirty dollars Tho 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.-BaiiiDlorc Amcri.

Difference Between the Chinese and
Japanese.

We find in the Review ScicntiiiQue n
paper read to the Ethnographical Socie-
ty of Paris, by NJ. Nader De Montjau,
on the differences existing between the
Chinese race and the japanese. In both
countries the hair seldom varies more
than from dark chestnut to jet black I;
the complexion oscillatcs between pale
bilious brown and a yellow blister the
beard is scanty, sometimes wanting, the
body is pretty nearly bare. IN China
the common people are neither too lean
nor too fat; but the latter quality is
peculiar to the rich and to the official
world, and is an object of veneration,
because it beFpeaks man who may sit
in his chair all day and need not work
for 4 living, Loanncss is the lot Of an ac-
tive merchant or clerk, not bound to
bard labor; it attains hidcous degree
in the case of the opium-smoker. Beg
gars will sell what is dcarer to them
thor talls-lU purchase tho Indian
drug; and these appendices arc OK
ported to Europe to adorn the heads of
our ladies, in the shape of chignons
In Japan both obesity and extreme
leanncss are much rarcr. The middle
class, much less vigorous than the poor,
is, however, equal to them in stature,
which is not the case in the sister coun-
try. The aristocracy, who have been
always intermNrrying among each other,
do not present any remarkable physical
quality to distinguish them from the
lower orders. 1t is not true, as has
been stated, that the yellow races do
not blush; the author himself wit
messed the phenomenon in China in the
person of beautiful young lady.
Both in that mtry and in Japan there
are pretty frequently such coppcrcol
ored complexions as very nearly to ap.
proach that of the Red Indian. An
other curious popularity i'll common
with the latter is the want of prominence
in the nose down to half its altitude ;
