suggestion Of John f. Leet, Esq, they
deposited the fish, on Friday, in the
Tangipahoa River, at Amite-that
stream being regarded as the best
adapted to the experiment. The fish
will mature in about three years, and
will run from to II pounds, during
which time legislative protection is
necessary to the success of the enter
prise. The spawn was brought from
California and katchcd in Michigan,
and thence brought to Louisiana.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.
Tho illustrations of The Afdine have
won worldwide reputation, and in the
art centers OF Europe it is admit ed fact
that it's wood cuts are examples of the
highest perfection ever attained. The COM
mon prejudice in favor of s'steel plates'' is
rapidly yielding to more educated and
discriminating taste which recognizes the
advantages of superior artistic quality will,
superior facility for production. The wood
cuts of The Aldinc possess all the delicacy
and elaborate finish of the most COSTLY steel
plate, while they afford better rendering
of the artists original.
To full realize the wonderful work which,
The Afdihe is doing for the cause of art
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people of any other
decent representations OF the predictions
of great painters.
| In addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, The Aldine will repro
duce examples of the best foreign masters,

Nashville Banner, June sth.l
Comptroller Gaines has gone to New
York, It is understood, to confer with the
creditors Of the State with regard to the
payment Of the July interest on Ten
nessee bonds.
The question of the ability ofthe State
to pay his interest will, Of course, be
discussed. The Legislature has placed
the State 10 the same predicament it
has the corporations Of Nashville and
Edgefeld, by postponing the collection
of taxes, though the act may have
proved beneficial to our farmers, who,
through heavy losses sustained by the
drouth of last season, had well nigh had
their finances exhausted.
The State has not yet paid the balance
borrowed for the payment Of the January
interest, and will not probably be able
to extinguish the account before the first
Of next October. We understand that
there is now about 100000 Of this debt
outstanding and about $4,000 of
coupons, which have been presented for
payment within the last three months,
and not paid.

LONDON, June "a correspondent Of
the Times, abiding to the rumors of a
Republican movement in Madrid, says:
Those who are watching the course Of
in Spain are satisfied that the
Alfonaist government is apprehensive.
They assert that the Spanish ambssSa-
dor at Paris has renewed his complaints
relative to the tolerance Of Carlism on
the frontier and has warmly protested
against the ostensible charity fetes, the
real object of which is to raise money in
Paris for the Carlists. 1t is supposed
that France will pay less attention to
these complaints than formerly, as Ger
many at present takes but slight interest
in the cause Of King Alfonso, whose
government is too weak to pursue a
course agreeable to Germany. A COM
petent authority, an attache ofthe Span
ish embassy in Paris, officially reports
that the Carlists muster Is, 1000 good SOL
diers, besides an equal number of second
rate, aud will continue to be victorious
SO long as the war is conducted as at
present. A dispatch from Vienna states
that the Princess Windischyraz has sent
three hundred thousand forms to Don
Carlos

CINCINNATI. June "a writ of error

terdsy in the case Of George Rufer, who
was convicted of the murder Of Herman
Schilling, in this city, commonly known
as the lanyard murder" He had been
sentenced to be hanged on the 18th
proximo.
By a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court funds belonging to benevolent So
%cieties have been declared subject to
taxation. In obedience to this decision
the Board of Equalization Of this city
has sent citations to each society in the
limits Of Cincinnati to show cause why
they should not be taxed on their money
credits. The Masons, Odd Fellows
knights Of Pythias, Red Men, and al
other secret societies heretofore ex
empted on the ground of public charity
and their seeming public benefit, hav,
been included in the summons.

Sir John Lubbock, in a recent paper
in Nature, London, describes the birth
of a may-ny from a fu~r-yrown larva,
which having observed it to be in a glist-
euing condition, be caught and put I'M
der the microscope in a drop OF water.
Very few moments had elapsed before he
had the satisfaction OF s%eeingthe thorax
open along the middle Of the back; the
two sides turned over; the insect literally
walked out of itself, unfolded its wings,
and in an instant flew up to the window.
Several times since he has witnessed
this wonderful metamorphosis, and It is
extraordinary how rapidlyit takes place.
From the moment when the skin first
cracks, not ten seconds are over before
the insect has flown away. Like the
ephemere, dragon flies, at first dull,
brown, sluggish and ugly larvae, with six
legs, are developed in water. Not so

in dry sand

THE TIME no BUILD.

We confidently look for an ere Of
building next fall, such as has not been
seen fer several years. The tax asses.
sor will have completed his assessment by
that time, aud it must stand for State,
county and municipal purposes, as to
real estate, for four years. Many a lot,
now vacant and to be assessed at a low
rate, will be the scene shortly Of activity,
and the sound Of the hammer and trowel
will make sweet music to the ear of the
mechanic. Returning prosperity glad
dens the hearts Of all, and those who own
unimproved property will take advantage
of the times and of the law passed 10
meet the wants Of the people to make
handsome improvements. Whatever il
added after the assessment is made will
positively escape taxation for four years
What greater inducement could
be offered TO timid capitalists ant
TO men Of moderate means2 There will
be n large class at least who cannot
complain of taxes, and they in turn car
give employment to the laboring classes
so that the benefits of this new law will

Police Court.

AT the Recorders Court this morning
the following cases we're disposed Of:
VIM. Griffin, disorderly conduct, $40 fne;
J.. j. McCarty, disorderly conduct, S.
A dozen cases we're continued.
This morning Lucy Stanly, a negro
girl aged about fourteen years, was
locked up On a warrant charging her
with murder, viz: in pushing a boy,
named Beaumont, into the river at Fort
Pickering, On Monday last, in conse-
quence Of which he was drowned. The
father of the drowned boy swore out the
warrant, but there does not seem to be
anything in the charge, the drowning
being accidental.
Mollie Carroll, (negress), charged with
stealing a few dollars at an uptown cof
f%ee.house, at which she was a servant,
was locked up to await a trial before the
Recorder tomorrow morning.

be distributed throughout the commu-
nifty. Many of our best citizens, hard
working clerks, thrifty mechanics and
hard-handed laborers will avail them
selves of the encouragement afforded to
build neat little houses, and thus settle
themselves and their families perma-
nently, where landlords cannot intrude
at the end Of the month, and ever the
tax collector will have no business for
years to come. Those who have not the
means can obtain perhaps all the assist
ance they want by joining some one of
the excellent building associations of
the city. These institutions have -four

You Got Him "E0ss ~

Rather serio-comic incident oc.
Cured at a station on the Richmond
e. Danville Railroad few days
ago. An engineer having occasion
to back his train on to a siding to
take on an extra car, negro who
was to do the coupling got caught
between the bumpers of the off car
and the train, and, though not
seriously hurt, had the breath
pretty we'll knocked out of him
and was unable to move. Another
negro, who saw his predicament
crept up to the engine and drawing
the engineer aside, said to him
in a confidential whisper: "Boss,
you got him |"
"What :"
"You got him, boss, sure enuf
dis time. He can't move nor hol-
ler neder."
Still puzzled, the innocent en-
gineer again demanded an explain
alton, when the negro sank his
voice lower, and giving q knowing
leer, said
"Boss, I specs you better run !;
nobody seed you," and then disap-
peared. I
About this time the fireman, who
had gone back, came forward and
explained matters, but it is evident
that negro No. 2 thought the
squeeze was done on purpose.

The Spelling Fever.

Smith says this spelling school
fever is getting to be an intolerable
bore. On going home to supper
one evening lately, he found his
wife sitting In front of the parlor
fire, with a spelling book In her
hand, and heard an indistinct num-
bling, In which he could occasion
ally distinguish: "c-o-m-p-l-a-c-e-
mt, s-a-t-i-s-f-i-e-d, happy" etc.
"Is supper ready, my dear r.
asked he.
"S-u-p-p-e-r," was all the answer
he could hear.
"Come, come, I must 60 up town
shortly" he said.
SHORTLY" echoed the lady,
moving towards the kitchen door,
pausing in the door to take one
last look at McGuffey. 4
"Mrs. Smith, / must be back up
street In few minutes, and must
have my supper immediately yell
ed the now irate husband.
"I-m-m-c-d-i-" but this was
too much, and here the coal scuttle
crashed against the door, just as
the unfortunate photographer dodg-
ed behind and closed It, while Smith
AYERS that he heard something as
she whirled through the door, that
sounded like coal coal, s-c-u-t-'
and here the sound was lost amid
the clatter Of tin pans, skillets, etc.
He Is now prepared to fight any
man who may be rash enough to
say "McGuffy" to him.

"Coming down st. Johns River
q few days ago." says Florida
letter. 81 saw a very good illus
tration Of what steamboat captain
who is In a hurry won't stand It
was on the steamer Florence, which
connects with the afternoon train
from Jacksonville, and hence only
stops at the larger landings and
such other points as signal her.
We we're behind time and pushing
along under full head of steam,
when the signal flag to stop was
raised at Federal Point, small
landing on the east shore of the
st. Johns.
"The captain put in, and when
we came alongside of the wharf he
discovered there we're no passen-
gers to come aboard, but there was
man there with small alligator.
about six inches long, In box,
which he put on board to be sent as
freight to gentleman in Jackson
vile. The captain did not swear, for
he was a virtuous mariner, but that
alligator paid his passage like
a man-first class rates, too."
