The Ice Crop.

The ice crop of this year, judging from
the activity which characterized the har-
vesting Of past weeks along the Hudson. be.
tween POughkeepsie and Albany, promises
to be the most abundant that has been
gathered IN many seasons. In 1873 the
quantity housed was ,40S, 500 tons, and
last year, when the harvesting was delayed
by the severity Of the weather, the amount
was less, and of an inferior quality. This
season no impediments of any kind have
been met with and, as consequence, the
ice already stored is greater IN quantity
and superior to the crops Of several years
back.
The Hudson Daily Star publishes some
interesting facts regarding the harvests of
Hudson river companies in former seasons,
comparing them with this years harvesting.
The crop Of 1860 was less than 100000 tons.
The Knickerbocker Company alone has put
away this year S78 900 tons, which amount
is distributed among its twenty.three store
houses as follows:
Rockland Lake 10000; Lake Mehaugh
10000; Highland Lake 10000; Marlborough
10000; Poughkeepsie 10000; Staatebnrg
1000; Esopus &C, 000 RondOut Il, 900; Rhine
beck 10000; Flatbush $4,000; Barrytown
10000; opposite Barrytown 5000; Turkey
10000; Catskill 10000; Hamburg. $4,000;
Barren Island 10000; Athens 10000; Cox
sackie 5000; New Baltimore 10000; Little
Flatbush $4,000; Schodack $1,000; total,
5000 tons.
To this quantity of newly stored ice may
be added about 10000 tons purchased Of
Eastern companies in the summer Of 1874,
when the New York companies found that |
their stock had diminished SO much as to |
make it impossible to supply their custom
ers. In storing the late immense crop, the
total number Of men employed was 5,675;

A Just Act.

fOrcement of order in the Southern States
q correspondent OF the World says: lone is
lost In wonder that such an act could have
been contemplated and carried even thus
Tar without eliciting universal cry of in
dlgnation and anger. No deputations. no
indignation meetings have vet protested
against this proposal to murder republican
freedom" There is no need that ANYBODY
with sense should be lost in wonder in con-
templatlng the acquiescence of the people in
tnls act. They are very well aware that
there are several hundred thousand Ameri-
can citizens in the South who, if the federal
government does not protect them will be
robbed of their political and civil rights and
subjected to fendish persecution Among the
loyal people of the North there is a resOlute
determination that this Ubiquitous business
shall be stopped; and this proposed law ia
approved, precisely as the Ku Klux act was
approved, because it seems to supply the

THE ANGEL on THE TWILIGHT.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

ph WILL NALLAGB hAAShSs
When the long evenings slanting grow
In crystal rSfters over the beach,
The roofs of heaven are almost in reach,
Az think Of my sorrow Of long ago
Once more an old grief comes and wrestles,
As Jacob wrestled at Jabb0k 8 ford
A dumb resistance, with never word,
But the shadow burdening down the trestles;
And long foreboding that seemed to greve,
The whisper Of patient suffering years,
Before he is used to the empty sleeve.
As kissed and cried over cold, still face,
In her bridal robes on her bridal bed,
And ever repf ated, she is not dead;
She will come out OF her nesting place. .
With flash of laughter and wreathing arms.
The maidens blush on the cheeks Of the wife;
She will come back to me: life in life.
In the dover Of w0manhoOds bridal charms.
Or coming STEP whispered, is hers;
She sings the songs that she used to sing;
She comes, like the blossom.exhaling spring,
Through violet bed and the clover fuize;
And the still sweet dresm shall vigil keep
The whole night long that she nestles near.
Her warm breath tanning my cheek and ear
As lie in her loose light arms Of sleep.
If seek her by day with the voice or hand
1t ends in q doleful even-song,
Or q tale of AL ancient, forgotten wrong,
To children who do not understand.
But after the twilight sheds its bloom
Far over the meadOws about our home
The unseen angels can go and come,
And roll the stone from the mouth OF the tomb.
And she comes in the dews Of a paradise;
A holy blessing around me steals;
feel her presence as one that feels
The gentle light upon closed eyes.
So when the evenings slanting grow
In crystal rafters over the beach,
The roofs of heaven are almost in reach
As think of NY sorrow of long ago.

The Sumner Memorial Volume.

The memorial volume printed by the
Legislature Of Massachusetts in honor OF
the late Charles Sumner, and skillfully COM
piled and edited by Mr.. William H. Reed,
contains document which has curiously
escaped the notice of the Boston journals.
One of the most enthusiastic friends of the
Senator was Mr. Joshua b. Smith, of Cam
bridge, fugitive slave. Mr.. Smith was a
member OF the last Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture, and bore to Washington its resolutions
resembling the vote of censure upon the
Senator. In the Senator's will valuable
painting, representing an angel striking the
chains from slave, was belueathed to him.
On the occasion of the eulogies upon the
Senator in the Massachusetts Legislature,
March 10, 1874, Mr.. Smith, who is an earnest
and usually fluent speaker, endeavored to
speak, but was go overcome by emotion
that he lost control of his voice. We find
on pages $3.50 of the memorial volume the
remarks which he proposed to make at that
time. Their allusion to Colonel Shaw gives
them especial interest. Mr. Smith purposed
to say:
"Mr. Speaker, thirty.fve years have
passed since Colonel Robert D. Shaw was
] babe in his cradle. On an occasion that /
we'll remember Charles Sumner was q
guest at his fathers table. and was ser.

favor of the tenth Of January is at hand,
and inquiries answered herewith. On the
evening Of January 8, several persons be-

clerk, Mr.. Stolte, to thoroughly cleanse q

silver. We then exposed the glass OF mer-
curry and the spirit thermometer on the roof

store, giving them as nearly equal exposure
as possible. An hour after the thermom'

At 900 p. NJ. the thermometer stood

time before it showed life. On January 10.

evening Of January 8, the evening above

correspondent adds the following news,
expressed in the peculiar style of the West:

and played it as follows: At 9:45 p. M. the
thermometer stood at $40 below; at 1890 p.
NJ $40 below; at 1880 p. NJ, $50 below"
The weather locals of the Northwest make
up an interesting collection. The following
are specimens: "As the stage came through

could tell how cold it was; all the thermO-
meters were frozen. The Independent of

Stone CameQa.

The fancy for stone canoes has largely
increased, and there is nothing that is in
greater demand. For sets, studs, rings and
sleeve buttons it is much worn. and con-
noisseurs are as fastidlOus about the carving
OF their canoes as they are about the paint
ton of poem. In looking over the best
OF the modern canoes one is struck with
the scarcity of the ancient subjects and
the modern style of the heads. The i'm
porters say, as an explanation of this, that
most of the stone cameo carvers have gone
from Rome to Paris, finding better field
and better remuneration for their labors,
and that they have. naturally enough,
become ParisiOnized in their ideas, and
this shows their work. SO now, instead
OF the godesses of mythology they
give us divinities Of the Jardin Mabille; in
place OF Minerva with her helmet, and
ohaste Diana crescent-crOwned, there are
piquant grisettes that lure from wisdOm's
ways and hout Jupiter's daughter to her
face. and saucy Interpreters of opera bouffe
with nothing Of Diana except her relent-
lessness: Now and then, one trifle less
susceptible than the rest gives to the world
an exquisitely carved head of Mary Stuart,
or an ideal Marguerite, fairer even than
Goethe dreamed her, and sometimes q
fiOwer-garlanded Flora with French face,
With all these new subjects to attract the
WORKERS IL Is not strange that the verltablo
antiques should increase in value in proper
ton to their rarity, and that even the ugly
Ethiopian featured face of Socrates should
be more attractive to the erudite purchaser
OF canoes than the most graceful head of
the prettiest French girl of them all. 1t is
like meeting an old friend in stran &c o0un-
try, to find the beautiful young Augustus,
the winged Mercury, grape. garlanded
Apollo, wise Minerva, cold Diana, even
Venus herself, in this modern company.
Yet now and then one happens to find
them, though they are the rarest and most
costly of any in the jewelers. showcase
The setting OF stone canoes is plain and
solid. and there is very noticeable alb
sence of anything like fligree work Pearls
are used largely in connection with canoes,
but these are in sets for middleaged ladies'
and matrons. Young ladies are supposed
to wear the gold settings exclusively.
Rings for ladies and gentlemen are made
from stone canoes; for ladies they are
mostly in the ''Marauise" shape, with a
small full length figure of Terpsichore or
Psyche engraved on them; gentlemen's
rings are larger, and usually have head OF
some famous person carved on them.
Among the heads most in favor are those of
shakespeare, Byron and Mozart. Some of

Five Million Little Shad Let Loose
In the Hudson.

The report of the commissioners of fish,
cries OF the state of New York, IIoratio
Seymour, Robert b. Roosevelt and Edward
M. Smith, for the year 1874 has been print
cd, and the good work done by them in
conjunction with Seth Green is plainly set
forth in the well printed and finely illus
trated pamphlet issued by the legislature.
In regard to shad hat ching 5,140,000 eggs
were taken and arifcially impregnated,
and 5000, 900 young shad turned loose in
the Hudson river, and as only one-fifticth
of the number Matched are annually taken,
the supply is steadily increasing. The
yield for the past year was fully equal to
the demand, and the consequence was that
on the bank of the stream prices ruled at
two-thirds less than before. Complaint is
made that the thousands of nets between
Troy and the harbor are worked day and
night the season through, thus preventing
the parent fish from reaching the head
waters to spawn and the commissioners
urge the passage of law compelling the
fishermen to rest from their labors from
Saturday night until Monday morning
The stocking of the inland waters of the
state with bass of various kinds has con-
tinued with marked success, although all
attempts to take spawn from the black
bass and cognate varieties have been fail
ures. Many ponds and lakes which were
lately bare of fish are commencing to yield
fairly and one can now enjoy good
dsy's fishing where for years past 1t was
impossible to catch anything but fisher
mans cod or a blind eel. Salmon trout
and white fish have been sent to all parts
of the United States in large quantities
