wOODBrRN.s HILL rU REMOVE
THE fEDERAL COUNTS

In the Washington correspondence OF
the San Francisco Balstoa we find the
following in relation to the bill intro
ducsd by Congressman woodburn to
remove the Federal Courts from Carson
to Virginia City. Tho correspondent
seems to have a very clear idea Of the
status Of the bill. and Senator Jones'
remarks about Adolphus p. Sutro will
strike our readers as eminently true.
Whether or not the bill shall pass the
House, it Is certain that neither "de
tunnel nor Sutro have any interest in
or business with the proposed legisla.
ton. Still il amuses tho ''Grest bore"
to persscute Congress and. mayhap.
while he il busy on this bill he will let
the mining interests Of the coast alone.
Following is the extract referred to:
The bill introduced by Mr.. Wood

Advisory ceaneii.
NKw York. Feb. 23.-At the morning
Of the Advisory Council DIR.
on behalf Of the special COM.
to which was referred the letters
from Andover Seminary Church. calling
for q council to try the a . Of Beechsr.
presented q report In which the CON-
say Plymouth Church should not
the invitation. They commend
very highly Andover Seminary. but re-
sret that II should have put forth such q
call. II Is held that one church should
never. according TO Congregational
usage, call for the trial Of q pastor OF
another. especially after an investiga-
ton had been held by the latter aud the
pastor had been declared innocent. The
discussion Of tho irst resolution offered
at last evenings session by Committee
No. 6 was then resumed. There Was
but little division in the council with
relation to the adoption OF this reso-
luton. and the council finally decided
that the investigation held In 1874 was
adequate and that Plymouth Church
had done its whole duty in tho matter.
II Is understood that . committee Of
three was appointed to report what NC
ton shall be taken in regard TO Moul-
toms letter. II 10 said that Claiin and
Bowen will testify further before tho
council this evening in secret session.
At the evening session tho second
resolution presented last evening by tho
Committee on Question No. 6-'Shall
there be another investigation OF the
charges against Beecherl was taken
up and discussed at great length, Dn.
Bacon, Porter. Storrs aud rwitchell
supporting il. Rev. Lyman Abbot pre-
.ented a resolution to recommit the
xhole matter back to the committee for
further consideration. This was lost
aud another delegate offered n resolution
that inasmuch ~ Mr.. Beecher and
Plymouth Church were anxious for fur
Their Investigation OF the charges against
the former. the council recommend that
another investigation be held. DIR.
Abbot made q violent address against
this course, in which he il said to have

An Essay on Fish.

Fish may be divided into classes-cod6sh
and fresh fish. The propriety Of dividing
them into classes will at once be apparent
when we reflect that they are usually found
in schools.
The herring is not absolutely a fish he is
suggestion of departed fish. But the
strongest suggestions Of departed fish are
smet The herring sustains the same rela-
ton to the 6nny tribe as the Egyptian num-
my to the human race.
Fish are caught by measure and sold by
woight-that is they are caught by the gill
and sold by the pound. But they are some
times caught by weight-wait till you get a
bite.
Many land animals are reproduced in the
sea. Thus we have the dogish, the catfish,
sea.lons and sea.horses, but no sea.mules.
None Of the above have hind legs, and any
manner of mule without hind legs would be
a conspicuous failure.
1t may not be out Of place to mention Jo-
nah in this connection. lie was not fish,
bat was once included among the inhabitants
of the deep, There has been considerable
dispute as to the name of the fish that swal.
lowed the gentleman above mentioned, some
persons arguing that the throat OF whale is
not large enough to swallow n man. This
objection seems to be inconsequeutial.
Jonah might have been made in a smaller
mould than other men. Moreover, it is GER
tain that he was cast over before being swal-
lowed-cast over the rail of the vessel.
There has been much speculation, also, as
to the cause Of Jonah's expulsion from the
whales interior, but the theory most gener,
ally accepted is that he soured on the whales
stomach.
Ho was very fortunate in reaching land
since he had no pilot. If he had taken pi.
lot with him into the stomach of the whale
he would doubtless have selected Pauncheoui
Plate as the proper man.
Jonah was the first man who retired from
the Department of the Interior, and De!anC
was the last one.
The Goldfish was worshipped by the Greeks
but he was only half as well treated by the
inhabitants of Cape Cod-he is simply ship
ped. Hence the difference between thu
Greeks and the inhabitants Of Cape Cod.
The greatest number of fish is eaten OF
Friday, and the next greatest number OF
Saturday, because those that are left owe
are warmed up for Saturday 5 breakfast,
Argumontative persons are fond Of stating
that it is grammatical to say that the iv,
lOaves aud three fishes were ate, since fv,
and three were always eight, They SHOULD
be treated with silent contempt
There are many interesting rumors abou
fish which might be mentioned, but the fore
going facts may be considered of.6sh.al.-
