Contents OF the California Aquarium
Car.

From the Rochester Democrat June G.
Yesterday the California aquarium car
passed through this city en- route to the
Pacific coast, and stopped here long
enough TO renew its supply of ice and
procure some of other needful articles.
1t was in the charge of Livingstone Stone,
engaged by Commissioner Baird for this
trip, Seth Green and other interested
parties made an examination of the car,
its apparatus and contents. Ii is large
passenger baggage car, forty feet long by
nine feet wide, with twelve wheels. an
air brake and Miller platform. At one
end of the car is stationary fresh water
tank, holding five tons of water, and at
the other end, two saltwater tanks, hold
ing in the aggregate the same amount of
salt water. The ice-boxes are over the
tanks, and there are upward of twenty
portable tanks between these two. In
the top of the car is an aerating machine
for forcing air into the water in the tanks
and cans. This is an ingenious contriy-
ance, and works finely, supplying the
fish with all the air they need. 1t was
stated that not fish had died since the
car started on its long journey. The
following are the varieties of fish i'm the
various receptacles: Lobsters and oysters
from Massachusetts Bay; tautogs, eels,
and weak fish from Martha's Vineyard;
striped bass, king fish and blue fish from
New York Harbor; black bass and wall
eyed pike from Lake Champlain; Mich
igan and Nebraska, horn pouts, from
Lake Champlain; fresh water cells and
shad from tho Hudson River; catfish
from Raritan River, New Jersey; ale
wives from Mystic River, Massachusetts,
The fish are to be placed in the waters
of California.

General Sherman, says the St. Louis
Democrat, "holds his own" remarkably
we'll, and retains all that dash and vim
which characterized his manner in the
field, especially when he took that little
trip to the sea. He Is as unasauming in
his make mp as of old, and with his
black felt hat, which shows evidence Of
age, his light colored linen coat and
black pantaloons and wAistooat, he
might be taken for a highly respectable
Granger. General Sherman evidently
likes st. Louis. He says he expects to
lay his bones there, and deaires to see
the city Of his choice grow and prosper.

DR.. William Clough, an eccentric
physician of Pitts6eld, Massachusetts,,
died last week. He rarely took any ad-
eIuate fee, never asked any pay Of the
poor, and bis house was made of marble
bowlders, which he had taken of the far
mers in lieu of fees, while they were cut
and laid by the laborers whom he treat
ed. As he grew older, his peculiArities
grew upon him, and the most striking
feature about his practice was his re-
pugnance to receiving any remuneration
whatever for his services.

A GREAT CoUNTRY.-TheS st. Louis
Globe is forced TO admit that this is a
very free country. Last week the Qua-
kers gave out from their Convention in
New York platform of strict prohibi-
tion, making it penitentiary offense to
manufacture, use or sell intoxicating
liquors; and while the broad-brimmed
brethren were doing this, the brewers,
in national Convention assembled, were
issuing pronunciamento equivalent to
the establishment of new party with
beer for its cornerstone, if we may be
allowed the Hibernicism. We pity the
man who sets himself to tho task of de-
Gliding between these two extremes; but
it is a healthy sign of public sentiment
in this country that extreme views on
all subjects can be freely entertained
and expressed, and that, by way OF d.
version, we can .tete Rochfort, under
the delusion that he is a great martyr
and listen to a Bradlaugh without
denouncing him as a great humbug.

Accumulation.

A mathematical person writes to one
of the papers to say, that "if Columbus
when he first came to America had put
away one cent and not disturbed IL until
to-day il would have amounted to the
sum of S6s7, ,OSs, ,909,7 10" Ifthis is true
1t is a great pity the idea never occurred
to Columbus. He might have had nice
little fortune to comfort him in his old
age But is il true? That depends, of
course, where he would have put it.
Old Starbuckle, of Berks county, Penn
svlvaniaS several years ago read in an al
manac that money would double itself
by compound interest in eleven years If
il were put away and left untouched.
Accordingly, Starbuckle put 5000 in n
tin box and buried itsin his cellar. He
permitted it to remain there for eleven
years, and dug it out with the confident
expectation that the amount in the box
would be 81, 800. But il wasn't, and Mr.
Starbuckle now only considers the sci
ence of arithmetic transparent fraud,
and he don't repose any confidence in
the almanac when it says Sunday comes
on the first day Of the week.-Mdr Adeler.

Ancr Four.

There was once German Bobleman
who led a foolish and dissipated life,
neglecting his people, his family and his
affairs, drinking aud gambling. He
had dream one night, which wildly
impressed him. He saw u figure look
ing at him with serious face and point
ing to dial when the hands marked
the hour OF four. The figure looked at
him sadly and said the words, "After
four" and disappeared. The nobleman
awekc in great terror, thinking the Wis
ion iorcboded speedy death. CATER
foar!' What could it mean? 1t must
mean that he would die in four days.
So he set his house in order, sent for
the priest, confessed his sins and receiv-
ed absoiution. He also sent for his
family, and begged their forgiveness for
past offences. After arranging his at
fairs with man of business he waited
for death. The four days passed on,
and he did not die. He then concluded
the vision meant four weeks. He did all
he could, but at tho end of four weeks
he was still alive. 1t is plain now, he
said, the vision meant four years, and
in the next four years he gave his whole
life and fortune for the improvement of
his people, bis neighbors, and the poor,
taking an honorable part in his public
affairs. At the end of four years he
was elected Emperor of Germany.

A D0CTORgD BOND.

A man named A. Naltmer from Indianapolis
and residing at the Park Hotel, was arrested yes
terday by Detective Sampson on charge of pass
Ing $1,000 bond not negotiable. The bond itself
was genuine but the name OF the party or parties
10 whom 1t had been issued was erased. The

1t had also been exhibited to the Secretary
OF the Treasury Tor the purpose OF ascsrtaining
to whom 1t belonged. Colonel Wood acknowledged
that he had given this bond to the prisoner with
whom ne was acquainted for a long time some
few days since. NalJmer Is described by Colonel
Wood as most respectable and responsible citl-
zen. 1t did not appear very clear as to what in
duced Wood to permit Naltmer to retain possess
sion of the BOND. 1ne allegations OF the detect yes
are that a gentleman named MalOy, at the request
OF the prisoner, negotiated loan OF $700 upon the
bond from c. w. King x Co., bankers, OF No. "a
Broadway. The bond was afterwards sent by
these gentlemen to the SuD-lreasury OIlce for eX-
animation. where 1t was ascertalned that it could
not be negotiated IN consequence or the erasure.
Naltmer was thereupon arrested and brought be-
