81. THE FISHERIES. One of the most
valuable industries. stripped of the pecu-
liar nomenclature of Ichthyoiogy, are treat
ed as fisheries of the deep-sea, harbor, aud
interior.
No person can sail along our coast, or
explore our bays and harbors. or travel
over our territory, and examine the nu-
merous rivers and ponds, without being
struck with the uncommon chances for
marine. and other fisheries.
The chain OF fishing banks, led the Eu-
ropean to our coasts In search of the last
refuge aud hding-plsce of the everywhere
hunted cod nsh. Fish, caught in the wat
ers of Maine saved the Plymouth Colony
from starvation.
81. The DEF SEA fishes include the
cod. pollock. hake, paddock, halibut. and
mackerel. In the cod and mackerel fish
cries. some 1000 of vessel tonnage. are

tie said that ever since he was two years
old he has been striving To better the
condition of the Irish people, and at
last he has thought of novel, though
feasible, plan to cODsumate the cherish
ed object Of his earnest solicitations. II
is to purchase ten million acres of land

thereon one million of lrishmen. This
would allow each man ter acres of vir-
gin soil to I've cultivated By him. By eff
fecting this arrangement there would
be happy Irish family on large scale.
He also proposed grand celebration
