Sponge Fishing in the Bahamas.

When vessel arrives at the fish
ing-ground it is anchored, and the men
in small boats proceed to look for
sponges in the waters below. The
water is a beautiful light blue in color.
and so clear that a sixpence can easily
be seen on the white-sand bottom in
thirty-five and forty feet of water. Of
course when there is no wind, the sur
face of the water still, the sponges are
easily seen, but when gentle breeze
is blowing "sea-glass" is used. A
sea-glass consists of square pine box
about twenty inches in length, with
pane of glass about ten by twelve inch
es placed in one end, water-tight. To
use it, the glass end is thrust into the
water and the face of the operator is
placed close to the other. BY this
means the wave motions of the water
are overcome, and the bottom readily
seen. Sponges, when seen on the bot
tom, attached to the coral rocks, look
like big black bunch. They are
pulled off their natural beds by forked
hooks which are run down under the
sponge, which is formed like the head
of cabbage, and the roots pulled from
the rocks.
when brought to the surface it is a
mass Of soft, glutinous stuff, which to
the touch feels like soft-soap or thick
jelly. When small boat-load is OBJ
tanned they are taken upon the shore,
where crawl is built, in which they
are placed to die, SO that the jelly SUBJ
stance will readily separate from the
firm fiber of the sponge. These crawls
are built by sticking pieces Of brush
into the sand, out of the water, large
enough to contain the catch. 1t takes
from live to six days for the insect to
die, when the sponges are beaten with
small sticks. and the black, glutinous
substance falls off, leaving the sponge,
after thorough washing, ready for
market. To the fishermen, generally,
the occupation is not a lucrative one.
am told that the wages will hardly
average three dollars per week, beside
board. There is but little diving for
sponges, except for a particularly fine
bunch which cannot easily be got with
the hook. The sponge is formed by
small insects, and is the hive in which
they live. Different qualities are found
growing side by side, although in GER
tain regions the finer and more valua-
BILE sponges are found. Cor. Neao Ha-

S210,0o0 daily, or 500, 900, 600 per an

silver, 5000 in quicksilver, 5000 in
lead and copper, $1,000 in coal, and
fully $1,000 in iron, antimony, zinc

therefore, $4,000, corresponding to
an annual product from its mines of

$4,000 in silver every twenty-four

English Opinion on Emigration
10 America.

Speaking Of tho lull in emigra-
ton to America, the London Times
says: "If there are fewer emigrants
than there used to be, it is because
emigation has done its work
thoroughly, and has pretty well
equalized the wages of labor in the
two hemispheres." II the move
ment Of population has finished its
work as between Europe and
America, it has not at any rate got
through, as far as the distribution
of population over the surface Of
the United States is concerned.
This republic is very uneyenly
settled. The North is too crowded
in some parts, and the South is too
vacant. Part of the work Of the
next ten years will be to equalize
population in the national territory
at home, and this will be profitable
both for the several States and the
people themselves.
If a million or two intelligent
people of the admirable industrial
class which may be found in the
manufacturing cities Of the North
should remove to the South during
the next four years, it would be to
the advantage of all concerned.
The South is appealing for settlers,
and can furnish land, work and
wages to all who may come. The
crowd in Northern cities would be
relieved, and there would be more
to do and better wages for those who
remain. Considering the national
and personal advantages of a move
ment of population toward the
South, it is gratifying to notice that
one has seriously begun. Last year
80, ZOO people went into Texas
alone; and there is a small but
steady flow toward Georgia and
Florida already in progress. Skill
full, industrious men who are
tempted by what they hear from
emigration agents to 60 from this
country to Australia should under
stand that they will do far better
in the long run to remain at home.

years her boomers have lowered

made IN order to the doorkeeper
that she be no longer admitted to

On . fpAaisn Railroad.

In the express train one meets
with dark-haired. dark.yisaged gen.
tlemen, who draw their hats down
over their eyes and puff cigarette
smoke continually through their
nostrils, who converse little, and
who only unbend from their
naughty demeanor when some
beautiful girl, with her lace man
tilla draping her fine neck and
shoulders. enters the carriage. But
in the slow trains one gets even
more knowledge of the Spanish
populace than he is DESTROYS Of ac-
guiriny. The Spaniard when he
travels appears to fancy that he has
an inalienable right to take with
him in the same car in which he
rides all his household goods and
farm produce. A stout farmer,
clad in a blouse, a pair of white
cOrduroYs, leathern sandals and a
broad hat with little tassels around
its edges, Chambers into 4 COM
partment already o%yercrowded.
He hands his nearest neigh
Dor a cage Of chickens, deposits
3 small bag of -four in a young
girls lap, pulls his growing dog in
after him, sets a basket Of eggs
on an old woman's equity toes,
scrambles into a fraction Of a seat,
smiles, makes a hundred apologies,
and lights a cigarette. Two or
three m~uleteers, clad in long striped
cloaks, perfume the car with garlic.
A soldier, with his gun slung over
his back, pokes the muzzle Of the
dangerous weapon into his neigh
boris eye occasionally. Every one
interlards his or her conversation
With ~interjections, and often with
oaths shocking to cars polite. If
the journeyi is long, some clever fell
low pulls a guitar out of a bag,
thrums its strings, huns a ballad in
which the others join, laughing and
putting smoke between the reirains,
and now and then keeping time by
clapping their hands and stamping
with their feet. At a railway sta
ton, at Miranda or Burgos, when
the train stops to allow the passeu-
gers to refresh themselves, no one
hurries at all. Suppose twenty
minutes to be the time al
lowed; every one seats himself
solemnly at the long table in the
dining-room, and slowly eats and
moderately drinks, smoking be-
tween the courses. AS the twenty
minutes period approaches its end,
the guard rings a bell loudly and
calls the senores to the train. a
few persons look around languidly,
as if ~astonished at an unusal noise,
but they do not bestir themselves.
On the contrary, they settle into
their chairs and address themselves
to the dessert. When the train il
five minutes behind time, the guard
rings again, with no better success.
After he has rung a third time, and
stalking majestically up and down
the platform of the station, has be-
gun to feign closing the door. OF
the carriages, the travellers rise
slowly, wrap their cloaks around
them with great care, arranging
each fold as if they were about to.
be presented to the king, and, light
ing fresh cigarettes, stroll to the
train. They stand talking at the
doors until the guard pushes them
into the compartments, when they
glare out at him as if he was guilty
Of great discourtesy.
