a BILL to encourage fish culture in Hi
nois has passed to its third reading in
the house. The bill provides for the APP
pointment by the governor Of three fish
commissioners "to select suitable loca.
ti0ns for state fish Matching and breeding
establishments, and to take all measures
within their means for the propaga-
ton and increase OF the native
food fishes, and also for the introduction
OF new varieties of food fishes into
the public waters OF the state, upon the
best terms possible; to employ practi-
cal and competent fish culturist as a
superintendent, who shall have general
charge and care of such establishments"
1t guards against salary -grabbing by
providing that the "board shall not re-
ceive any compensation for their services,
but shall be reimbursed their actual eX.
penditures for travelling and hotel ex-
penses, such expenses not to exceed in
any event the sum OF $500 per annum
for the entire board"

Champagne Opening In China.

From the Pail Mall Gazette)
General Ignatien. when leaving his
embassadorial post at Picking, presented
a case OF champagne to Su Shun, an i'm
perial prince, and chief favorite Of the
emperor, but omitted to send a cork
screw with it. Not wishing to monopo-
lie the wine, and being mindful of his
patrons taste for strong drinks, Su
Shun forwarded some of the wine to
the palace. The compliment was
duly appreciated, but when the emperor
ordered his imperial butler to open a
bottle, that tunctlonary, who had never
seen bottle SO fastened down, was CON-
pletely at loss how to get at the con.
tents. As last resource he put bottle
on stove, and the result in due course
was o tremendous explosion, which
caused considerable alarm In the celestla
household. Su Shun soon after lost hi
head, but on another indictment.

IL Didn't Win.

A German recently went to Paris with
a genuine Correggio which he had been
unable to sell in his own country for
what 1t was worth. He had letter OF
introduction to German art dealer who
has an excellent reputation in Paris. and
one to rich banker who has large col
lection OF paintings. He took the picture
to the banker and offered to sell it for
f2.400, agreeing to deliver it on the fol-
lowing day. In the evening the dealer
called and cautioned the banker
against buying the picture, as he had
discovered that 1t was copy. The
banker accordingly refused to buy the
painting, and the German went back to
his lodgings cursing his i'll luck. While
he was broodIng over his misfortunes,
an English gentleman who had heard
OF the Correggio called to look at it and
offered HIM $4,000 on the spot. The
German agreed at once, and the Correg'
gio was soon on its way to Brighton
The art dealer who had cautioned the
banker against making the purchase
thinking that he could now have thu
picture at his own price, called few
days afterward to offer 81 200 for it, bu
learned to his dismay that his trick hao
failed, and that the prize was going
across the channel.

The Galveston Netos notes some very
awkward complications that may grow out
OF the arbitration act by which it is pro-
yided that there shall be a continuous
session of congress from the assembling
of the commission to the announcement
OF the result. No matter how many days
may intervene between the commence
ment of the counting of the vote and its
completion, the journals must
show the date of February
l, 1877. Suppose that special
message from the president is sent to
congress dated February 20. the journals
will show that it was received twenty
days before 1t was written or thought of.
He may send another, written and dated
March 3, If the commission continues so
'ong, and the journals will still show
that 1t was received February /. So
when the count is completed and the re-
suit declared, say March 8. as may pos
sibly happ9n, it will appear from the
journals as having been completed Feb.
ruary /.

The opinion is becoming general in
Washington that that some of the appro-
priation bills will fail and that an extra
session Of congress will be rendered
necessary. The army bill it is thought
will impose restrictions upon the use OF
troops at elections and this will meet
with opposition in the senate. Many Re-
publcans express the opinion that an
extra session is desirable on general
principles.
