The market opened under the influence Of q
decline Of 1-l6d in MiodIing Uplands and sales
the part Of buyers to go on unless at some con-
cessions. The supply, however, had been much
reduced by the heavy business OF yesterday,
which exceeded 4lOO bales, and factors were in
disposed to give way, which checked the move-
ment. The sales nevertheless, during the morn
ing reached 1910 bales, partly at previous rates
and partly at n shade less, at O which buyers
operated very sparingly and the entire business
Of the day was confined to 1900 bales. as noted
above.
In addition to the tenor of the Liverpool dis
patch, decline OF 2-lO " cent in Sterling and .
railing off in New York were calculated to weaken
prices, and their effect was partially neutral
lzed by the hight supply an tho extent OF the in
quiry. strong style of Good Middling sold at
l5sc, which is above our outside figures for that
grade.

The Punishment Of Bazaine.

The sentence of Marshal Bazaine to
twenty years secusion" has not been
fully understood in this country. Ac-
cording to the French military code,
there are four degrees of punishment
for soldier convicted of an offense like
that of which Bazaine has been decreed
guilty. These degrees are, first (after
death), hard labor for life; second,
seclusion ; third, detention fourth,
Punishment.
Marshal Bazaine will be sent to the
Isle st. Marguerite, whittier he will be
accompanied by his wife and children ;
and it is generally believed that in a
year or two he will be allowed to go
into exile. In such case he will
probably take up his abode in England.
His present punishment would seem to
be almost identical with that of Ma
poleon [. at Elba and st. Helena.
In the whirligig of French politics
there are many curious revolutions.
Bazaine in exile for the next few years
may, somewhat later, be Bazaine in
office again. Thus General Dupont,
disgraced by Napoleon l., became War
Minister under Louis XVIII; and
should the Bonapartist faction ever rise
again to power in France, there is no
doubt that Bazaine would be recalled
to the country which now says he has
betrayed it.

Results of Fish Culture.

The Rochester Union CLEANS some
statistics from a report of the results of
somewhat protracted experiments at
the hatching-house on Otsego Lake.
The report states that during the month
of March, 1872, there were placed in
the lake $4,000 Otsego bass from eggs
obtained in it's waters, and 1000 salmon
trout from eggs furnished by Seth
Green. In November, 1872, 100000
salmon trout eggs were received at
Cape Vincent from Seth Green and
conveyed to Cooperstown. The eggs
developed well until near the end of
the month, when, being aidupon trays,
with an insufficient supply of water,
they began to die rapidly. They were
as soon as possible transferred to gravel
beds, but without avail, as all gradual y
persisted. On January s, 1873, 20, 600
more salmon trout eggs were procured
from Seth Green, placed on gravel beds,
successfully Matched, and all deposited
in the lake during the month of March,
together with 100000 Otsego bass fry.
On November 4, 1873, there were re-
ceived from Seth Green, and placed in
U1e udICuluS- HOUSE, fU,VUU Salmon CrOuG
eggs, and on the 2Sth of November
5000 more were collected from Otsego
Lake and placed with the rest. On De-
cembor LIST these eggs were all doing
finely, the fish in the former lot de-
veloping rapidly, having plenty of
water standing at about forty-eight de-
grees. To sum up the work, the whole
number of Otsego bass placed in the
lake up to the present time is 174, 900,
and of salmon trout $4,000. There are
also 115, 900 salmon trout spawn now in
process of Matching. The number OF
black bass placed in the lake, many OF
them weighing two pounds each and
upwards, was $50, and of rock bass
1,000., Within a fortnight another sup.
ply of Otsego bass eggswill be gathered,
and when these shall have Matched, the
total number of trout and bass fry
placed in the lake will not fall much
short of half million. Cooperstown
will not suffer for the won't of fish fol
the next hundred years.

Beecher on New Years Celebration.

Mr.. Beecher, when announcing to his
congregation on Sunday that he should
receive calls on New Years Day, took
occasion to say that it was a good ques-
ton to discuss at the present time
"Shall we have wine on our tables on
New Years Day?"
L wish to express a strong desire, he
said, that this un-American custom of
putting wine upon the tables at New
Years should be discontinued GUS
tom comparatively recent and uncalled
for; not called for by any love of wine,
for 1 don't believe that there is one
man in five hundred that really loves
the taste of wine, and although it is
fashionable to pretend to distinguish
one quality from another, I don't be-
lieve that there is one man in five hun
dred that can tell Bordeaux from Bur-
gundy. The very persons that need
your courtesy most, namely, the deli
quescent young men-the men that
melt and give way so easily-are the
very persons that are made up in order
to be betrayed by liquor. They are
the men that cannot resist an invitation,
and there is a certain sort of tang about
wine, and certain sort of impassibility
in young ladies for bearing anything
if it is fashionable and so the fool will
find it impossible to forbear, and the
web will be wove and the fly will be
caught, and the devil of q spider will
laugh at the skill displayed in the weav.
ing. Many young man has been
caught on New Years Day, and lin,
gered on year or two, and then died
disgracefully. If 1 could look back
over my life, I think the saddest recol
lection of it would be to see that L had
set snare that had entrapped the sou
of single man to it's ruin. It is a risk
that no person ought to take upon him
self, and no honorable person can.
wish that all the wine should be put
upon my table New Years Day, or thai
nobody else should have more thar
I did,

A MOther's Sacrifice.

Mrs. May Robinson committed sui
eide in Ypsilanti, Mich, a few days
since, drowning herself in a cistern.
She was nearly thirty years of age, and
had passed an eventful career. Her
maiden name was Barlow, and at the
age of sixteen she married William
Stevens of Wayne. With him she lived
several years but they lived unhapplly,
and six years ago they were divorced,
she retaining the custody of their
children, aged respectively seven and
five years. Leaving these With her
mother she,went to Ohio, and acted as
a detective in the United States secret
service. On the Goth of last month
Mrs. Stevens was married in Ypsilanti
to William J. Robinson of Centerton,
Ohio, but still remained with her
mother, Robinson intending to move
to Texas early the coming year. Rob-
inson testified that his wife told him
that young man named Barr, with
whom she became acquainted during
her residence in Ohio, had shot at her
on three different occasions, the last
time while she was living in Ann Ar
Dor, this causing her to move to Ypsil-
anti, and that she was afraid he would
yet kill her. Exactly what the cause of
Bars enmity was is not known but it
is limited that the deceased as a detec-
tive worked up case wherein Barr was
directly concerned, and the exposing of
which was to his injury. Mrs. Robin
son had but partially recovered from an
attack of bilious fever at the time of her
death, and it is surmised that she COM
mitted suicide while temporarily insane.
1t would seem, however, that there was
an object in her death, for five insur-
ance policies have come to light, as
follows: Five thousand dollars each in
the Michigan Mutual, New York Mu-
tual and Home SO, 900 in the National
of Washington, and 81, 500 in the Mas
sachusetts Mutual. These policies were
all obtained by Mrs. Robinson of Ann
Arbor agents, and all during the past
three months, that of the Michigan Mu.
tual being the first, and this was OBJ.
tanned about the middle of September
The premium notes in each case were
made payable quarterly, so that upon
each policy but single payment had
been made. The policies are all in ia
vor of her children, and by the terms Of
her will her mother is made executrix.

A Disastrous Fishing season.

The year now closing, says the Cape
Ann Advertiser, has been the most dis
astrous in the destruction Of life and
property of any since the establishment
of the fishing business at this port,
there having been ia lives and 81 YES
sells lost during the present season.
The only year which approximates to it
was 1862, when there were 165 lives and
10 vessels lost. OF TIA men lost this
season, AZ were known to be married,
leaving AZ widows and Sc fatherless
children. The largest loss of life and
property was in the Bay of st. Law
renee fishery, in the gale Of August "a,
when SO seamen and u vessels were
lost. Three vessels and 80 lives have
been lost in the Georges fishery, 2 YES
sells ard 81 lives in the Grand Bank
fishery, vessels and 16 lives in the
Newfoundland herring fishery, 8 vessels
in the shore fisheries, l in the Grand
Menan herring fishery, fruiter, and ]
ballast lighter. The total value of the
vessels lost is $11S, 700, their insurance
500, 91S, mostly in the Gloucester Mu
tual Fishing Insurance Office.
