FEArUnE-Sayst the San Francisco Stock
Exchange Of June 1: A feature new, at
least. to this city, has been introduced
in the organization of the Exchange. BY
tho constitution it is the right of mem
Der to fill the seat by an authorized rep
reseatative to be approved by the Com
mittee on Membership, who will have
the same right to offer and bid for all
stocks as his principal would have, if
present. On this subject the last clause
of the article of the constitution reads:
..All purcha s.s and sales by duly
authorized rel Preventative shall be bind
ing upon his principal, and each mem
Der shall be responsible for the acts of
his representative. uLtii the authority of
such representative is revoked. which
revocation must be filed in writing with
the Secretary, and read in open ses
sion"
Under this arrangement member who
may be unwilling to attend can appoint
his partner or confidential clerk to do
the hard work and have the time to the
other duties OF his office. 1t is proposed
that the seats for outsiders. which will
be placed on raised platforms at the side
and end. be numbered and rented at
81 30 per month, the holder to have a
ticket for his chair. The plan suggested
is to sell the places every month, after
the manner of reserved seats in a thea-
tire. A meeting will be held tomorrow
to complete the organization. and it is
expected that the Pacific Stock Exchange
will begin business on Monday the 9Th
instant 1t Is understood that Joseph

The salmon Of India.

The "mahasser," or Indian salmon,
which signifies great-head, is, indeed, a
noble game fish, which runs up to so
pound weight, and | believe more. The
character Of this species must be we'll
known by your readers, so | need not
take up more space than necessary. l
may add, however, that they abound in
nearly all the many rivers that flow from
the Himalaya Mountains, and are to be
| found in these rivers and nullahs in the
plains a hundred miles from where they
debouch. We're flies and tackles more
easily procured in India, and at reason
able prices, the sport would be more gem
orally resorted to, where no fear of tres
passing is before ones eyes. Few, like
wise, wish to test the advice instilled at
home, of what wet feet and burning
brain will bring them to. Care, | think,
generally succeeds; wear a good Solah
sopee (pith hat), and keep as dry as you
can. A young friend and myself, with
the fly, killed 1870 mahaseer in two days
from a boat on a lake 1000 feet above
the level of the sea. The average weight
was only q pounds, though larger were
to be caught by trolling. Better sport l
seldom expect to have; and certainly l
do not care to have a better dish on the
table. An officer, l think in AS, went
there and rugged up a raft with a couple
Of inflated mussocks (goatskins), and
6shed all day with his feet in the cold
water, and his lightly covered head in a
sun that feels as though coming through
a burning-glass. The poor fellow gave
up fishing in this world. The place is
even now looked on as certain death,
and the fishing, consequently, is uncom-
monty good.
