BIDOY M'ClNN'S "BkLASTED SALMON"
From New foundland

A number of years since the
Bishop of Newfoundland, at st. Johns
one morning saw the woman who
usually supplied his house with fresh
fish from the market approaching his
residence, they enter, and after the
usual salutationS, she uncovered the
basket displaying Il remarkably fine
salmon, she said she had selected the
finest specimen in the market on pur-
pose for him, drew his attention to
its plumpness and weight, and even
insisted on him taking the basket to
verify her recommendation. The
Bishop told her to go up to the house.
and the housekeeper would see 1t
weighed and pay her. In the course
*of the day, the cook reported to the
housekeeper and she in turn to the
Bishop, that in dressing the salmon.
it was found to be stuffed to the
throat with pebble-stones, of course
the Bishop concluded that Biddy
would give his residence Il wide
berth for some time to come, but no
the very next morning she was
seen approaching with her basket
wearing the look of conscious limo
cence. The Bishop met her and
mildly rebuked her for the deception.
She loudly protested her innocence.
"Sure would she chate anybody, far
less his Reverence. woman. said
the Bishop somewhat more sternly
lido not add the sin of lying to that of
deception, both are offensive to God. "
She still stoutly maintained her inno-
cence. '.Sure your Reverence ought
to know the creatures on the APP
proach of storm, always takes IN
ballast. and YOU may remember that
the day before yesterday we had Il
taste of an easterly gale. and the
beauty was netted that night before
it had time to throw the ballast over
board The Bishop was SO taken
back by the rudeness of his tishwoman
that he told her to take the salmon
up to the house. That day he had
some friends dining with him. to
whom the Bishop related this new
fact to him in natural history, and
the guests had hearty laugh over the
story Of Biddy M'Ginn's "balasted
salmon"

HOWTO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE.

You must be very able man, as
nearly all the millionaires are.
You must devote your life to the
getting and keeping of other mems
earnings.
You must eat the bread of careful
ness and must rise up early and lie
down late.
You must care little or nothing
about other man. wants, or sufferings
or disappointments.
You must not mind it that your
great wealth involves others in
pOverty.
You must not give away except for
material equivalent.
You must not go meandering about
nature, nor spend your time enjoying
air, earth, sky or water, because there
is no money in it.
You must never embark in any en-
terprise that will build up the place
you live in, bat wait until the public
spirited men have built railroads, etc.,
and then buy stock at a discount.
You must never give to the widow
or orphan a thought, or consider that
they have any claims upon your
humanity or charity.
You must make money your god;
interest your faith, and large possess
sions the heaven you covet. And.
when dying leave few pence to
heaven.
Youmust not distract your thoughts
from the great purpose of your life
with the charms of art and literature.
You must not let philosophy or re-
1igion engross you during the secular
time.
You must not allow your wife and
children to occupy much of your valu-
able time and thoughts.
You must never permit the fascina-
lions of friendship to inveigle you
into making loans, however small.
You must ~abondOn all other am
billions or purposes, and finally
You must be prepared to sacrifice
ease and all fanciful notions you may
have about tastes and luxuries and
enjOyments during most. if not all OF
your natural life.
If you think the game IS worth the
handle-you can die rich-sOme of you
can.

LETTER FROM THE HON, JOHN

The Texas PACIFIC ELL.

The City Council of Nashville re-
Gently passed a set of resolutions
advocating the passage Of the Texas
Pacific Railroad bill and forwarded
them to the Hen. John F. House
for action thereon. 1t is known that
Col. House is Chairman of the Com

hand, enclosing preamble and reso-
lutiOns of the Mayor and City Coun-
ell of Nashville, in favor of the
Texas Pacific railroad.

of the city authorities of Nashville.
/ regard the building of the Texas
Pacific Railway as of great impOr-
tance to the South and as but a sim
pie act of justice to our section /
have given to this great measure
my best efforts and shall continue to
do so, but regret to say that some
Southern members are oppose to it
and others wholly Indifferent to
its great importance. But its pros
poets are steadila improving. With
a united South in its favor we could
pass it beyond doubt, and if it fails,
the death blow will be dealt by the
and Indifference of South
ern members. / rejoice to see that
the people OF the South are moving
in this matter. They must give
their representative to understand
that they will no longer be allowed |
to twist the Constitution into rope |
to be tied around the neck of the |
South to strangle her life out of her.
The action of the Mayor and City |
Council is an influential blow at the |
right time and in the right place.
l will have the preamble and res
Olutions referred to the proper COM
mittee, and the city authorities have |
my sincere thanks for their em-
phatic and enlightened action in
this matter. Truly your friend,

American Provisions in FranOe.

Consul Bridgland, of Havre, re-
ports to the Department of State that
the imports of provisions from the
United States mt that port show a
great increase during the months of
january and February over the
same period of last year. OF Indian
corn 4 1853, ,9l0pQuuds were imported,
nearly double the quantity a year
ago, and a still larger increase is ex-
pected, as maize has come into gen
eral use as horse food by the great
tramway and cab companies of
France. OF bacon the imports have
been doubled over the same two
months of 1877, being now nearly
ten billion pounds, while lard, Of
which nearly 9,000,000 pounds were
imported, has nearly trebled in.
quantity. The General Trans-At-
lantic Steamship Company has fitted
its vessels with refrigerating cham
bers for fresh meats. The first ship
ment reached Havre on the Labra-
dor in November last, and up 10
the close Of February 37a, ,760 pounds
Of fresh beef and mutton have been
received at Havre, mostly destined
for consumption In Paris. There Is
a prospect of this new trade devel-
oping and becoming as profitable as
it has proved in England.

The Nashville American OF the

The people Of this country surely

1t necessary to teach Il ? is not past
experience enough? I? To retell a
thrice-told tale is task we do not
cOvet, and yet il seems there Is an
indisposition TO begin the work or
organization. Lot the people pom
der this question and learn whether
it is rot worth while to see that
there is some organization necessary
upon the part OF the solid people Of
this country-and by solid people
we mean every man who has an In
terest in it-every man Of business
AMI industry. These are all inter
ested.
We elect our sheriff and minor
officers for two wears, our clerks,
register and Others for four years,
and ourjudicial officers for six years.
AS to the shortest term, can we
afford to endure evils which may re-
suit from want Of organization 4?
Let this be pondered carefully. AS
to the incumbents who hold for the
long period of four years, can we
afford to risk what we do risk by a
want of organization ? Let this be

which rise from a proper execution

dear "Fax." Indeed, you have di-
vine authority for them, as the
good Lord was evidently joking
when He made your face. The
Lord has evidently a good deal of
broad full in Him, though
there are some who, in their zeal to
"vindicatethe ways of God to man."
insist that your face was never made
at all-that it was only guessed at.
1t has been said of very ugly men
that their faces must hurt them, but
the trouble as to yours is that it
hurts other people. 1t has also been
said in reference to the men of
genius with unlucky faces that the
ugliness of the shell of an oyster is
sometimes compensated by thepearl
within; but although you GER
tainly have the pearl within, your
face is so much uglier than an oys-
ter shell that the illustration fails
in your case altogether.
l am credibly informed, dear
" Fax" that none but pretty chill
dren came into the world for fifteen
or twenty years after your birth (I
first saw the light during that
period), all the material in the
world for the making ugly faces

Is no adequate remedy for bonds not

is no adequate remedy for bonds no
due.
If the Legislature should pass {
| general act that would extend the
remedy by receivers to debts no
due, upon proper showing as tC
the danger of irremediable loss, this
would be no violation of contract
If Congress, under its power to alter
and amend these railroad charters,
should pass the very bill here re-
commended in the interest of pri-
vate bondhOlders, who were about
to be swindled out of their money,
and had no adequate remedy, be-
cause their debts were not due, it
would be but an act of justice and
| good faith. The maxim that ''there
is no wrong without a remedy is
true in spirit, but not in fact and it
is the duty of the legislative branch
of every Government to see that
there shall be no wrong without a
remedy"
While Congress has the power to
alter and amend, as between itself
and the corporations, this charter
contract, should it see fit, fair con-
sideratiOn of this bill will show that
its provisions relate to more efficient
remedies for the enforcement of said
contract, and not to any fundamen-
tai alteration thereof.
The original act contemplates that
the road shall be repaired and kept
in good working order. If Congress
should have reason to apprehend
that the stockholders would waste
or misappropriate the funds of the
road and permit it to go to ruin, we
presume no one will doubt the
power of Congress SO to alter and
amend this act as to compel such
duty to be performed; and we can
see no good reason why any altera-
tionS and amendments should not
be made that may be necessary to
insure the discharge of every other |
duty imposed upon the corporations |
by this act, including the duty of |
for the payment of its
debts. These acts of 1862 |
and 1864 must be construed together |
as an entirety, and the power to
alter, amend, and repeal, extends to
each and every portion equally. |
The power to amend the contract of /
charter is admitted, but the power
to amend the contract of loan, en-
braced and set out in the same
chdrter-contract, is denied. This is
a refinement of dialectics too astute
for ordinary minds. 1t is maxim
in law that contract cannot exist
partly in parole and partly in writ
ing; and we think it equally incon-
sistent that written contract can
be binding in part and not in the
whole, or that it may be altered in
part but not in the whole.
The decisions which pronounced
l charter a contract did so when
here was no clause in it granting a
Oan of money, and such feature in
his railroad charter does not make
t any more or any less a contract,
lor render it any more or any less
to to the power of Con-
yress to "add to, alter, amend, or
'epeal'' it.
With these views we concur in
he wisdom of this bill, and recon-
mend its passage.

When the daily occupation Is
mOnotonousand unengrossing, a full
supply Of excitement for the leisure
hours may be desirable; but where
the mental powers have been taxed
to their utmost through the hours
of labor, il Is absolutely necessary
to health and happiness that they
be entirely released for at least
portion of the time that Is left. IL
is not enough that the usual amount
Of time be spent in the absolute rest
of sleep, H. every waking hour be
filled to tho brim with eager, serious
occupation. IL Is not enough that
certain hours be secured, free from
absolute work, if they are still per-
meated with energetic thought, in
tense feeling or exciting pleasures.
The mind needs rest from effort In
its waking hours, a time when IL
may rightly lay aside it, activity
and enjoy being acted upon by calm
and gentle influences.
