Moulton aud Beecher-One of them is
Periurer.
from the Brooklyn Review

IFrom the Brooklyn Review
A representative Of the Review had an
interview last night with Frank Moulton,
as he was en- route to Nsrragansett.
"What do you think about the result r
quoth the ejournalIst
Il think this, he said, /" that there's
pretty square Issue between Henry
Ward Beecher and myself One or the
other of us is rerjurer, and ought to be
in perjurers cell in State Prison"
That's question you think insufli-
ciently decided by the late disagree
ment ?' queried the interviewer
1T is question intend to have de-
cided before die, replied Moulton,
with dark frown. 81 have been to the
District Attorneys office to challenge an
indictment, and, am afraid, without any
prospect OF it. Last night Beecher stood
in the only pulpit he can occupy in
America He will stand in it again to-
morrow But. if live and he lives
another year, one of us will he convict.
ed periurer and occupy perjurer's cell.
Tilton's struggle with Beecher was his
own not mine. He had to contend with
great obstacles. He had condoned his
wife's fault and in this world such mag
nanimty is shameful. The consequence
was that all his witnesses suffered. But
this is now my battle, and | mean to
fight it to the end. l say again that
either Beecher or l will fill perjurer' S
cell before this is finished

How They are Hatched Out and Trans

Nashville Union and American.

Nashville Union and American
1t would be a rather difficult matter to give
a correct idea of these little creatures. None
of them were over half an inch long and
about the size of a small cambrc needle
They were brought from the =" fishery on
the Connecticut river, at Holyoke, Mass. un.
der the superintendency Of James W. Miner.
deputy United States fish commissioner. The
transportation WAS made by means of large
tin cans holding from fifteen to twenty gal
Ions of water and each can containing $4,000
shad. 1t is no nice job to travel with them,
for the water in the cans has to be changed
every hour, and 1t is necessary to use large
quantities of ice to keep the water at a prop
er temperature.
Messr.. Chase Il i-..ns left Holvoke at
twenty minutes past six O'Clock last Thursday
morning and started on their return home at
9 ~ o'clock last night These gentlemen
have u,"n engaged in fish culture Tor num-
Der of years, :. "' thoroughly understand their
business. From tnSm we get some interesting
points about pi.cicultui.c a: Holyoke. The
fish are caught by means OF selHfs oIaREeu
between six o'clock in the evening o-nG md
night. After having been caught they ere
examined and the spawn taken from the
ripe" ones. The eggs are then placed in a
pan containing small quantity ofwater. 1 he
The milt of the male fish. kind ofmiky sub
stance, is next placed in the pan with the
spawn, anu INC eggs tnaS become lmpreSna-
ted. In half an hour or forty minutes the
eggs will swell to three or four times the size
they were when first taken out of the female.
They are now carefully placed in Matching
boxes, patented by Mr.. Seth Green, superin-
tendent Of the New York state fisheries
These boxes are q by Is inches, and one foot
in depth. The bottom is made of wire cloth.
Tie boxes have floats on either side, put on
slanting, SO as to bring the bottom of the box
on an angle in the water. The current forces
the water through the wire cloth, and the
eggs are kept rolling continually When the
Matching boxes have been filled they are care
fully anchored in the river. Where the tenn
perAture Of the river is from "a to rs" they
will hatch in three or four days. and are at
once ready for transportation or other use.
The shad placed in the Cumberland ycstcr-
day will remain in the waters adjacent to the
city till the latter part of August when they
will go down stream in search of salt water,
During the third year they will return to this
point To spawn In few months those half
an inch long will have attained to the length
of nearly two inches
Why can't we have shad introduced into
the Arkansas river? If they can be intro
duccd into the Cumberland. and it is well
established fact that they can. there is no
reason to prevent successful trial in the Ar
kansas and tributary streams. Who will
move in the matter?

COTTON CONGRESS.
Meeting at Raleigh, n. C.-Patriotism
and Cotton
RALEIGH, July IA.

RALEIGH, July IA.
The cotton congress met here yester
day, President Butler in the chair. Gov
Bragdon welcomed the members to the
capital of the state He said it only re-
manned for our people, and particularly
our mechanical, manufacturing and farm
ing interests, to work together more har
moniously aud energetically to make this
country all that its most ardent friends
could wish--the pride of our own people,
and the admiration and envy of the world.
In this effort the people of the south and
the great west had much to do, as upon
their exertions depended the success of
every enterprise in this great country.
The south should depend to much
greater extent upon her own resources,
if she ever wishes to become prosperous
and independent, We need more manu-
factories, of every character, greater di-
Aersity in our crops, and more har
monious working together Of these inter
csts, which are 50 identical.
Col Butler, in behalf of the congress,
thanked the governor and people of
North Carolina for the welcome to the
capital.
Mr. T. H. Busbee, on behalf Of the
mayor, extended hearty welcome to the
capital
Mr. I. II. Busbee, on behalf of the
mayor, extended n hearty welcome to the
representatives of the great west present,
and said that we might deplore it as much
as we may, but the west was the granary
and smoke house Of the whole south, and
the commingling of the representatives
Of the two sections was peculiarly appro-
pirate. He said that the time would soon
come, nay, has already come, when the
children Of Georgia will read with ad
miration the matchess deeds of the gal
liant Mcpherson, and the youth of Hill
nois and Iowa will learn lesson Of hero
ic patriotism and sacred devotion to duty
at the grave of Jackson.
DR.. Maxwell, of Tennessee, responded
to Mr.. Busbee, in behalf of the congress
He returned, in touching terms, thanks
to the body for the hearty welcome
which had been extended those whom he
represented One of the principal OBJ.
jects of the congress was to unite more
thoroughly every interest of this whole
country, and the welcome extended here
to those of the great west, as well AS to
those Of the south, would tend to weld
together more thoroughly the two sec
tions.
Among the prominent guests present
are Hon, r Starkland, Iowa; Judge j
d. Jones, Arkansas; Col. d. E. Butler,
Georgia r. NJ Sims, South Carolina
DR. w. Maxwell, Tennessee; and many
Others are expected to hight and in the
morning.

Money, Without Friends.

There is one rule In life which may be said
to have no exceptions, and that Is that the i'm
portance of man in society, as well as the
esteem in which he Is held, is governed by, or
is in exact proportion to- the depth and full
ness Of his purse This principle pervadcs
the entire mass of society. and seems to re-
move from the heart all charity for, and hui
manity to. that portion Of mankind who are
not blessed with money. An excmplifcation
of this occurred in the ease of our friend CAL
lalan. of the Colorado party.
in passing through little town, Mr.. c.
being advised Of the fact that hi, party were
out of bread, taking just enough money from
his trunk to purchased few loayes. told them
to drive on, and he would overtakc them. and
going 10 store purchased quantity of the
bread, and then, in imitation of the illustri-
Gus franklin, put 1t under his arm, and start
ell after the wagons. ltwas towards night,
as he emerged from the town, on his way to
join his comrades. just outside Of the town
the ROADS fork, going in opposite directions.
of course our friend took the wrong one. and
hurryng his steps, went farther and farther
from the party for whom he was searching,
Night was drawing her mantle of black ath-
wart the skies, and still he was no near
er to his companions. A pervading sense Of
emptiness determined him to stop at house
to get something to cat. Now, in the first
place, II will be remembered that Mr.. G. had
expended all the money he had with him for
bread, and in the second place that this bread
which he had purchased was the property of
the party, and he would not eat it. He told
the gentleman OF the house the predieament
he was in; bat that astute individual told him
he had seen his Kind before. and politely in
formed Mr.. &. that he was not ieeding tramps.
Our friend moved on, determining that at the
next house he would say nothing about being
n moneyless man, until he had got something
to eat. lie did so and feasted, after which he
informed the gentleman Of the house of his
condition. and was materially aided in his de-
parture from the door After he had walked
short distance, he laid down under tree, and
slept, In the meantime his companions, be-
coming worried because OF his protracted alb
scnce. prosecuted n search. and the next NOR
ming found him. He has determined to re-
main with the wagons, and If it should be
necessary for him to leave them, he will take
the advice Of Iaso to Cassius. Put money in
thy purse

Our young friend, Tom. McGee had a
river. This is the way it happened. A white
boy. who was driving the team. drove il
down into the river as it had been his custom
in order to let the wheels soak The descent
into the water is very steep. and, before the
driver was aware. the team was in the cur
rent, and could not be turned. The boy see
ing the danger jumped ont of the Wagon.

pony loose, and it got to the shore, but the
