What the Game Law ForhIds.

The act of the General Assembly

ured between Feb. l and Nov l.,
and the use of nets and traps for
partridges is forbidden for two years
from this time; no pheasants or
ruffied grouse to be killed between

Wild waterfowl to be unmolested
from April l to Sept. 1, except the
summer duck and the SOra. Wild

length and fired from the shoulder

PRESENT CONDITION.

The armament required for the
efficient defense of Kars is estima-
ted at $50 pieces of ordnance. At
the present time there are in the
fortress 100 24-pounders, and IA
smooth-bore guns of the same cali
bre. The garrison should be $4,000
men strong, the length of parapet
having to be manned, exclusive of
the space required for the guns, be-
ing 5,136 metres. Concerning, how
ever, the extent of the works, and
their separation into two distinct
zones by the Kars-Tschai, it may
be doubted whether the number
given would really be sufficient for
successful defense.

Twelve years ago Richmond, with
Al, 900 inhabitants, lay half in ruins.
Now she has rebuilt the whole OF
the burnt district, has established
two hundred factories, and with a
population Of $4,000 people is the
handsomest city in the world. Nor
folk ships near 100000 bales Of cot
ton this year, and has developed n
trade in vegetables, fruit and fish
which has extended through our

lantic, and has increased the value
Of lands in the adjoining connties
many hundred fold.

II. V. REDFIELD writes from
Washington in regard to the pros
poets of the Texas Pacific:
The friends of the measure are
greatly encouraged by the report
that the President is friendly to the
enterprise, and that he will recon-
mend to Congress favorable legisla-
ton. They claim a solid South in
its support, a good deal of Pennsyl-
vania and scattering votes from the
West, enough all told to put it
through if the President will give it
favorable send-Off in his mes
sage. They claim that they do not
want a cent of money from the
Treasury - merely Government
guarantee that will float the bonds.
Since the panic railroad bonds will
not float :" indeed, we are told
that but for the panic the bonds
would have been sold, and the road
in running order. But the stiffness
having been taken out of this class
of securities by the " financial press
ure," q Government Endorsement is
necessary to place them in market.

A Lake That Never Freezes nor Gives
up its Dead.
Salt Lake Herald.


Truckee is a thriving railroad
town, and the starting point for
Lake TrahOe-called the Gem of
the Sierras." Half the lake is in
Nevada, the other half in California.
1t is twenty-eight miles long and
from twelve to fifteen miles wide,
and has been sounded to a depth Of
sixteen hundred feet. Its waters
are a beautiful ultamarine, and it
may be called the purest water in
the world, containing by analysis,
only per cent. of impurities. 1t is
so light and mobile as to be
easily Iashed into a foam, or
calmed to mirror-Iike surface. In
the early morning it is like a look
ing glass, with surrounding objects
reelected In it with surprising accu-
racy. Several steamers Of small
tonnage are used in navigating it.
It's altitude is about sixty-three hun
dred feet; it is always cool and
pleasant in the hottest weather.
The lake never freezes, and never
gives up its dead. No person that
has been drowned has been known
to rise to the surface. Wood, as soon
as it is saturated, sinks to the bot
tom. The water is as clear as crys-
tai, and huge rocks fifty feet down
are plainly discernable. In fact, it
is q marvel, and the contrast Of our
own Salt Lake; for this Is so dense
and sluggish as to offer great resist
ance to the human body, and every
thing else that will float.

At the present time, that is about
thirty years after the establishment
of the sewing machine invention,
there are upward of 1000, 900 sewing
machines In use In various parts of
the world, and the annual number
of new machines produced in this
country is estimated at 800, 900, en-
ploying about 100, 900, persons. In
France, Germany and Belgium the
production ofmachines is very large
but in the United States the annual
out-turn of machines is perhaps
greater than in the whole of Europe.

OTHER WORKS.

Fort Tich-Tepeci lies 1,120 metres
to the south Of Fort Las-Tepeci, and
consists of a work of Fashioned
trace withOutany glacis. The height
of the parapet Is $50 metres, Its thick
ness the same; the width of the
ditch 2.7, its depth 81 metres; the
total length of the crest line $40 pa
ces. On the northeast of the fort is
a battery, called Ali-Table, intend
ed to sweep the approaches to the
larger work. Finally, Fort Tech
mas, the twelfth work, 500 metres
from Fort Tich-Tepeci, consists of
two Fashioned entertainments con-
nected by a parapet. Within are
bomb-pr0of barracks and magazines,
The profile is similar to that of the
last described work, and the length
of the crest line is 780 PAGES. The
citadel Itsch-Kala is situated on
rocky spur of the Karadagh heights,
running out at right angles to the
Kars ISchai. The fertilization con-
sists of a flint wall of irregular trace.

An examination of the above table
confirms the impression which has been
very general, that trade in the Western
and Southern States has been less disas-
lrous than that OF the Eastern and Middle
States. 1t is significant circumstance,
that the failures in the Middle States are
one in every 81 names reported in bust
ness, while in the Western States the pro-
portion is one in every y; but the COM
parison between the East and the South
is even more significant, for in New Eng
land, with all its wealth and solidity, one
IN every 50 has yielded to the pressure Of
the times, while in the South, with all its
poverty, its political and other disabili-
ties, the percentage Of failures is only one
in every Ga. Even in Canada, where
there is gold basis, light
taxation, freedom from political
complications, and all other lavoring
conditions, the above showing is indi-
cative OF much greater pressure than in
the United States, the failures in the Do
minion being one in every thirty-two. In
England no very accurate figures are OBJ
tainable, and none OF course as yet for the
past year, but for 1875 return was made

showing failure OF one in every sixty
three, with an average liability Of ST.

times has been either not so great in this
country as elsewhere, or that it has been
borne with less disastrous results.

The magazines are all interesting this
month-no, We mean merit month-so far
as they have come to hand. In Scribner's
there are several Immediately absorbing
papers. One Of them is Kate Fields
"Morning with Sir Julius Benedict" in
which she gives, from the old musicians
lips, recollections Of Weber, Beethoven
and Paganini. Another is DR.. Hollands
novel, in which one phase OF the mendi-
cant problem presents itself in the person
Of the one.armed popcorn man, and goes
far to decide Nicholas not to try again
to so over to Europe and think about
various girls in the catacombs and else
where. Also the pitifully amusing Mrs.
Coates ia developed to some extent, and
the humbug Benson, who is to serve as
foil to the hero. The "Saxe Holm" story
opens promisingly, very the mystic head
OF this feminine hydra scarcely appearing
as yet. Then Mrs. Burnett's strong and
striking portraiture of Joan Lowrie,
Boyesen's story OF Mr.. Storm; the paper
by MIR. Nadal on Gilbert White OF Sell
borne and Ito its special public) the adj
mirable paper on trout fishing in the
Rangely lakes, and others. The engrav-
ings are, as usual, beyond all the rest Of

way the Welsh city OF Cardiff, where he

(Burr's dupe and victimI, and the voyage
OF the Savannah, the first steamship that
crossed the Atl0ntic,-are the best Of
these. Rev. Mr.. GLADDEN. Of this city

and MaCaulay's incapacity 10 comprehend
America is shown in some letters written
to an American literary gentleman. The
riches OF st. Nicholas are bewilderingly
many, and we pause in despair at the
attempt TO say anything about it. We
will, however, note that Thomas Hughes
gives very serious and sensible talk TO
American boys with the title, "Festina
Lente," for to hasten slowly is, TO his
thinking, the advice chiefly needed here.
In LippincotL's We have another serial
10 accompany McDonalds =" Young
Alloys; or the Gawk from America" by
Auerbach, translated by Chas. T. Brooks.
The title is suggestive;. the hero is the
son of German who had expatriated
himself and now sends back his boy TO
the old home; it promises to be an inter-
esting story. A thoughtful paper on the
second part Of Goethe's "Faust," by W.
II. Goodyear, and very commonplace
article (seeing Gail Hamilton wrote it)
on "Railroad Reflections" are other lea.
lures we note.
