FISH THAT BUILD NEsTs.-AmOng the
curiOsities in Fulton Market, New
York, is a stickleback, comfortably living
in an aquarium. The popularity OF this
little fish is its custom of building nest
of bits Of vegetable matter, in which the
female deposits her spawn. The nest is
fixed at the bottom OF the stream, among
the aquatic plants. The male watches
over it with jealous care, tanning it with
his fms to secure purity Of the water and
exclude sediment. II any one of the
young escapes, he takes it in his mouth
and replaces it in the nest, as other sickle.

and the care and watchfulness which
they bestOw upon their eggs aud young

The Crops.

Crops prospects in almost every section
appear to be looking as favorably as
could possibly be wished, though we
notice throughout the southwest there
is more or less complaint of a lack of
rain. Corn and cotton are both suffer
ing from this cause, particularly in
Texas. In some portions of that state
we also observe the inevitable chinch
bug has made its appearance. The
farmers, however, are in the habit of
making altogether too much of this mis-
chievOus little insect, and the public
have learned by this time not to esti-
mate too highly its antiCipatory powers
of destruction. From the northwest we
have no information that is not iavora-
bic, if we except some reports from
northern Illinois and Iowa, where it Is
said but little small grain is in sight as
yet. In the middle states the preva,
lence of unreasonable cold weather is a
drawback; 50 far, however, it has not
been attended with any very serious
result.-N Y Journal of Commerce.

THE RICHEST MAN IN GERMANY
Who is the richest man in Germany ?
Most persons would say in reply-Roths-
child, or some long g-descended German
baron. In both cases the seaTcher for
truth would be wrong. The richest
man IN Prussia is neither banker nor
noble, but plain Krupp, the maker of
csnnons. Krupp, the gunmaker, pays
more income tax than any man in Prus-
sIa. He pays nearly no. 900 marks,
which represents yearly scale of profits
exceeding 5000, 900 marks, or about 81 =
250,G00. 1t IS true that it is whispered
IN non-Oficial circles that Krupp, the
gunsmith, has a partner who shares MS
gains and likewise contributes his quota
toward the payment of income tax. Thi:

NEW Y oRK correspondence TO the n
o. Picayune, dated May 11th, reports
some pretty severe losses on cotton.
Parties who bought on a margin have
put up and up with each material decline
until many of them can do so no longer,
and they are now being sold out-some
of them at loss of / cents per pound.
Thus, July deliveries, for which 144
cents was agreed to be paid, were closed
out at 12s. OF course no one dreamed
of such fall, and the best minds on the
exchange have this season been at fault
That prices are near bottom, however,
is pretty generally conceded; for with
cotton but a fraction over sixpence in
Liverpool and - SIG cents in this
market. IL would seem to be about as
low as anyone could ask it. There is
but one explanation of this condition of
the cotton trade, and that is the dullness
in our own and the manufacturing in
terests all over the world. The sterling
exchange market-so far as the amount
Of business is concerned-is very similar
10 that of cotton, and where few years
AGO an importer would order 100000 to
100000 of exchange, he now orders
$4,000. Seldom has there been greater
complaint of inactivity among our ster
ling exchange men than at the present
me.

Mr.. KELLEY hns been singing his old song
agnin in Congress. Unfortunately, ho hns
but fow variations, nn1 tho song becomes
monotonous. The report Of Ills speech con-
tains t1lreo nl}lrmationa
l. T]iat no industry In this country hn1
grown 50 well within tho Inst fow ycarB as
shipbnilaing, and "llo gave statistics 10
provo it."
2. If Tho TanG bill before Congress became

h,lrn their grain for fuel" workshops will be
loveled, .and immigration prohibited.
3. Tho very introduction Of the bill n week
ago has a1ready para1yzed the fow industries
(which contraction" Ind left in prosper
GUS condition.
Tho growth nale in ahipbultling may per-
haps DO said to hava beon unprceedonted,-
and the statistics would prove 1t. Thus
Ships built in 1873, / in 1874, 2; increase,
100 per cont Rhips built in 1876, 3; In
crease over 1874, 80 per cent = over 1873,
400 per cent. Though these aro not tho
exact figures, the percentages Of increase in
shipbuilding havo about the same foundation.
Tho theory Of Mr.. KELLEY is, TINT If tho
iron and steel, and copper md brass, and
g1ass, and prints ho reduced, tho people Of
tho United States will cease to consume
bread md that tho people of all the rest Of
tho world will abandon the uso Of grain, and
tho farmers, unable to sell, will hnyo to burn
their crops. Just at this timo nnd for moro
than two yenrs there have bcon, rs repre-
sentcd by Mr.. KELLEY, two millions OF wor1-
ing people out Of employment, md a 1argo
proportion of his own constituents depend
cnt on charity, and mnny Of them forced to
become trainps. If this ia their condition
under tho present high rate Of tariff taxation,
it is not probable TINT they will consumo less
bread If thnt taxation bo reduced onc-third.
Tho theory thnt mankind will sit down and
voluntarily stnryo to death because tho tar
on pig-iron is reduced from sc to 81 per ton,
or tho tax on cotton shirts is reduced from 40
per cont to 21 per cent, is simply ii1iotio
jibbering. The present condition Of tho
worl,ingmou III tho mining and nanufactur-
ing districts Of tho country attesta tho pnu-
perisln to which they have been reduced by
excessive tariff taxation. The workshops
nnd factories hnyo beon closed aud the iln-

1Ye invita- tho attention of the readers Of
The Tn1nuNE, Of all parties ind all occupa-
tions, to tho speech Of Mr.. BLAINE on lnnn-
cial subjects delivered III Congress- yesterday.
1t Is admirable reading. It is expressed in
good, clear, md strong English it is his
torical, and pointed in its applications Of
history; it is firm III its adherence to the
doctrine Of good faith under all circun,-
stances. It describes tho present condition
of the country, and explains the causes;
points out tho inevitable results Of inevitable
laws; exposes the consequences Of the pro-
posed humiliation OF tho National Banks
and tho proposed expansion Of tho currency;
an,l, vindicatiug the national honor aud
pledges, insists upon such legislation as will
by gradual means bring tho legal-tender note
to par.
While we adyiso every one to read tho whole
speech in order to tako in the whole argu.
,nent commercially, there aro several parts Of
tho speech worthy Of special notice. It will
DO seen that ho takes the ground that, while
tho Democrats ~ party aro divided on this
subject. there is no division among Ropub-
Leans, who now, as they havo always beon,
aro united in maintaining tho national credit,
md who are now opposed to inaation md in
favor OF resumption Of specie payments.
The history Of tho lcgal.tender notos Is
| graphically told. The overwhelming ncoessi-
ty Of Il Treasury without dollar at its COM
1nana to curry OH tho War; tho issue OF the
first lcgal.tenlcr notes, their subsequent in-
crease, md their decline in valuo, resulting
in the solemn promise that the aggregate Of
tAoSo notes should never exceed four hun
drcd millions Ut dollars, The instructive
point il mado that In 1861, when tho amount
OF lcgal.tentcr notes had, by successive is-
sues, boon inaated, tho whole four hundred
millions then out would not purchaao aa
| much gold as could have been purchased by
tho originnl issue Of ono hundred and fifty
millions Of notes. Tho expansion Of the
notes. therefore, had not added to their ae
| gregate value, and such would ho the result
now II tho United States should become, I'm.
der tho discretion of majority in Congress,
tho exclusive currency-naker. Such result
was Inevitable when tho volume Of Hi irro.
deemable currency was inflated.
Tho Democratic hostility 10 tue Issue ol
legal.tender notes, their assumed fidelity Il
the Constitution which restrained them II
time Of war from voting for an illegal cur
rency even to enHble tho Government to caE7y
on the War for tho national existence, md
thoir subsequent demand, in time Of peace
for the issue OF that Same currency to an
amount equal to tho purchase Of sixteen hun
dred millions Of dollars OF bonds, are al1nira'
bly, consrasted by blr. BLAINE.
Tho ability Of ths United States to main,
thin specie payments is strongly viudicated,
and the vind'cation is strengthened by refer,
ences to tho example OF tho Pacilo Htates,
and of Canada, where population less than
that Of New York, overwhelmed in debt,
with fowcr productions, and frozen up ono,
half tho year. enjoy the luxury Of specie
payments with American coin, and are pros
periug accordingly.
