THE NORTH role.

What weird attraction that frozen wilder

far from any mans ken, exercises on the
mind Of humanity! Brave men and gallant
ships sail away up into the distant latitudes in

trace. Others leave only their bones to
bleach amid the frozen SHOWS as landmarks
of endesvor; but human energy will not be

R4NGELT BLUE-BACK TROUT.

As an evidence of the praiseworthy zeal Of
the New York Association for the Protection
of Game, it may be remarked that out of the
season not single brook trout can be found
in our markets. An amusing incident &C.
Cured, however, yesterday, showing how the
officers of the association are ever on the
alert. Mr.. Eugene G. Blackford, of Fulton
Market, had exposed for sale quite number
of small fsh, looking exactly like trout; in
fact, he was the recipient of no less than 800
of these fish. Now, as there is fine of S25
on every trout exposed for sale out of season,
Mr.. Blackford's fine might have amounted to
some $751; 900. Some Of the fish were pur-
chased, shown to the officers of the associa-
ton, and suit was about being commenced
when it was discovered that Mr.. Blackford
was at perfect freedom to sell the fish in ques-
ton, they being the Rangely bue-back trout
and that he was even protected by letter
from Henry o. Stanley, Esq, one OF the Fish
Commissioners of the State of Maine, in
which it was distinctly stated that, according
to chapter 20, section Is of the laws of Maine,
there was no law prohibiting the taking or
selling of Rangely blue back trou, at any
season of the year. The fish in question are
very peculiar, and, though showing some of
the general traits of the salmonid@, are, as
Prof. Baird states, quite distinct from the
common brook trout. They are not found
anywhere else in the country except at
Rangely Lake, and can only be caught dur
ing the present month. The Rangely lakes
are in Franklin and Oxford Counties, in the
north western part of Maine, and are the
sources of the Androscoggin River. The
fishing on the lakes is under the entire con
troll of the Oquossoc Angling Association.

The Cotton Claims.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cleveland Leader furnishes the following:
Parties from the South now in Washing
ton Of the genus claim agent are no little
elated over what bids fair to be the speedy
settlement of q large mass Of claims laying
in the United States treasury for captured
and abandoned cotton, cotton seized, etc.
Ma ny of the claims are unsupported by
sufficient proof to warrant hasty settle
ment and there is wanting other evidence
to show that the claimants by some treason
able act has not forfeited his right to be
recompensed. Efforts have been made by
these agents to lead Secretary Bristow to
believe that the Treasury Department has
not paid out money fast enough by allow
ing these claims to be paid at greater
rate, and these agents have persuaded the
Secretary to order the division chief in
charge Of these claims to hastec their exam
nation, to scrutinize them less, to allow
their payment without insisting upon go
much essential evidence. This pleases the
agents who are receiving their rich fees and
declaring that Secretary Bristow is buildin
up the Sourh by paying money out of the
treasury on these claims to the Southern
men who present them. The agents have
got inserted in a Democratic paper an arti-
Gle congraculatiDg Secretary BristOw be-
cause OF his removing restrictions whereby
the guards and checks upon the public
treasury are more easily renewed by South
ern claimants, and calling the attention Of
the Secretary to the division of captured
and abandoned property, and setting forth
that this division is more important
than the Alabama Claims Commits
sion, because it has $3O,000,000 to
pay ont on cotton claims, while the com.
mission has but $l5, 100000 to pay out, and
it might have added, on just claims. The
article complains that this $50, O00, GOO is
paid out too slowly, and states that Score.
tary Bristow will look into the matter and
cut the knot 60 that the South can be bene-
flied. After these claims have been set
tied, the cotton lobby here are going to
turn their attention to refund of the tax
on cotton assessed during the war, and ask
Congress to pass law refunding the TAI
paid which will take another forty or fifty
million dollars out of the public treasury
This opens the door to the refund of the
tax on tobacco, iron. coal and oil, as they
are all prod ucts of the ground, and if the
tax on one is refunded there is no reason
why it should not be on the others. '''
