Herring have returned to the coast of
Sweden after many years absence, and nu-
mefous great fishing establishments that had
been abandoned and gone to ruin are now
likely to be revived. The herring fishery was
one of the most prosperous industries of the
country 100 years ago.
The progress made in ocean steam naviga-
tion is far more surprising than most people
are aware. At the present day - times as
much freight can be carried across the Allan
tic in one-half the time, and at an expenditure
of less than one and half times as much
fuel, as in 1910. This has been shown by
comparison of the data of recorded averages
of the steamship Britannia in lS40 and of
the steamship Britannia in 1877.

SAEDISEs-Iiow THEY ARE CAUGHT, CURED
AND PACKED. The catch of sardines in France
this season will be larger, it is said, than it
has been for many years, the little fish being
unusually abundant il French waters From
their name it is often thought that they are
taken Oft Sardinia, whence the chief supply
originally came, though for a long while they
have been mainly caught on the coasts of
Brittany, (Bretagne), where thousands of
men, women and children are employed in
the business. Many families have lived by
the fisheries for generations, and they and
their labors are always objects of interest to
strangers visiting the picturesque province
Their vessels are generally of : to 10 tons
each, and have acrew of & to II persons, who
90 & to . miles from land. and when they see
their prey they spread their gill-nets, scatter
ing their bait, consisting of eggs and flesh of
cod, mackcrcl and other fish, and soon haul
them in in quantities. Some are salted on
board, but most of them are carried ashore
the best selected and their heads cut off, are
well washed and sprinkled with fine salt. A
few hours later they are arranged in almost
perpendicular rows on frames, and these are
immersed again and again in the best boiling
(olive) oil. When sufficiently cured, the oil
is drained Off ON uncovered tables sloping
toward a central groove, through which the
oil runs into a vessel for the purpose. The
fish are then packed in the small tin boxes SO
well known to consumers, by women and
children, sitting around the tables, and, when
packed, are filled up with fresh oil and SOL
dered down by men. The boxes are next
put in an iron basket, and plunged into COW
cred boiler of water and boiled from half an
hour to an hour and a half, according to
their size. After drying, labelling, and pac-
ing in wooden cases, they are ready for ship
ment 1t is interesting to observe the indus
try, skill and economy of the Breton fishers,
who, though somewhat rude, are sturdy,
hardy, Independent, and as unlike the typical
French as any people of the same nationality
can well be. They are so thrifty and ener-
getic that many of them have gained what is
to them handsome Independence, and they
deserve it richly.

Her eyes We're bright, her figure slight
And light as any fairy;
Her nose was heaveuward inclined,
Her manners sweet and airy.
Her mouth was like a rosebud,
Her voice like any linnet;
Her head was little, aud fear
Had very little in it,
But then, so artless WAS her art
My heart could not resist her;
And added to her other charms,
She had pretty sister,
They bloomed like any double rose,
They blushed double pink;
One graced the name Of Laura,
The other, Kate, thiak.
when left alone With Laura,
Love urged his soft dictate
Aud in sweet Laura's absence
dotted mOre--on Kate.
And thus to choose between them
'Twere treason to decide,
Because had been happiest
With either for my bride.
To dlch one flower, and leave her
Companion all alone
To pine in single sadness
Would ueed heart Of stone
Aud that's the reason, ladies,
I'm still your partizau,
For being single-hoarted,
/ rest a single man.

Miscellany.


Oh, sweet is the south winds signing,
And sweet is the brook that sings,
And a myriad sweets are flying
To stir Of a myriad wingsl
And the murmurous air is heavy
With scents Of myriad flowers,
Aud the wealth of golden summer
IL falling in rainbow showers.
The birds and the bees are flying,
And the slanting sunbeams play,
Aud lips that love are signing
For one who is far away.
Oh, love, am near--am coming
Though the wandering song birds stray;
For my heart is weary Of longing,
Aud will love and trust for aye
All, sweet when the day is dying
Away in the crimson west
And your lips their secret signing
(As though it were oil unguessed);
When heart t. heart is replying
And you know that my life is blessed,
Methiuks that the sound OF signing
VIII pass in a kiss-to restl
The flowers at her easement futter
With touch Of passing wing;
The secret long 20 utter
The nightingales softly sing.
She heeds not their passionate voices,
She sees not the amorous light;
For her heart with my own rejoices,
And love Is our world Tonight!

Wheat grains have a vitality which resists
intense cold. A sample of the wheat left by
the Polaris, in 1871, in 81 10 north latitude
and exposed to temperature varying from
that of summer to that of winter in that po-
sition for five years, was shown last year by
DIR. Schanburg, of the Botanic Gardens and
Government Plantations, South Australia,
and out of 300 grains 60 germinated and pro-
duced plants, three and four feet high, with
ears containing 30 grains each.

TaE able editor OF the Philadelphia
Press has been moved by a spectacle
which greets his vision from the South
On last Thursday young white woman
was stripped naked to the waist and pub
licly whipped by a.negro constable at
Elizabeth Couit Hose, Va, under Law
passed by the late Legislature prescrib-
ing the whlpping-post for the punish
ment of such ofienses as petty larceny
and the raidlng of chicken roosts. Says
the able editor, his heart bleeding with
symp ,thy meanwhile
"This han iiting see g Is an evidence
of the deadening aud degrading influen-
ces Of slavery. L. is impossible that this
outrage should take place In Pennsyl-
vania or any State north oft. 1t does
take place, however, IN Virg mia. Such
instances as this prove that the institution
of slavery was something wore than a
wrong to a race. 1t was not the degra-
dation Of the black man merely, but of
labor.
Just where the broad aud philanthro-
pic editor OF the Press discovers, in the
whipping of white woman by negro,
an evidence of the deadeDing and degra-
ding influence of slavery, we are not in
formed. 1t seems TO us that il q white
woman had whipped negro the dead
ening and degrading influence of slavery
would have been more apparent to the
average Republican editor. For our
own part we do not see that the degrad-
ing effects of slavery upon labor are
brought out any more when a negro con-
stable wallops remale thief at the
whpping-post than when gang of bru-

The DesertiOn Of Hayes by His
Party.
From the Lancasrer In telIigencer

From the Lancaster In telligencer
Some correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Times has been doing for Republi-
can United States Senator what a cor.
respondent of the Herald recently did for
Grant. We are not told by the Times in
formant who it is that talks so freely and
spicily, and betimes so coarsely, of Hayes
and the men about him, and hence the
same personal interest does not attach to
his views as to those of Grant, but they
are more readable because of the greater
vigor of their utterance, the livelier in
terest felt in their subjects, and because
while they are of individual expression
they are unquestionably re-echoed by a
large portion of the rank and file of the
Republican party and by the leaders, to
whom Hayes owes his position, and
without whose support he cannot sustain
himself before the country and his party.
Among the active workers of the Re-
publican party, the men who have given
vitality to it, one uniformly hears Just
such views as are given to the times cor
respondent by this United States Senator,
which we repubE h, as fairly presenting
the drift of sentiment IN the Republican
party and curiously illustrating the vicis-
situdes of politics. The leaders staked
eve r ,th ng, dared every thing to elect him,
and failing in that they undertook and
carried through such stupendous villainy
to seat him as was never before heard of
or prophesied in American politics. 1t
seems like rrtributive justice that before
scarce more than year of his term has
passed around they should be cursIng
him for his treachery to their cause and
the cour e of himself and his
Cabinet as more demoralizing to their
party than was Andrew Johnson's.

Where is the constituency of the z. Z.
anu Commercial? The vaiu Young man
who is the Qstensible head of the corpo-
ration seems to have his hand against
every one and surely every ones hand is
against him. He has been literally kick
ed out Of the Republican party. He can
expect no favors of the Gallagher fac
tion and Is heartily despised by the clans
led by Frame and Dunn. The leaders of
the Democratic party regard him with
contempt and the only fear that any of
the candidates in the city or county have
is that through spite or male the editor
OF the Il. II. and G. may endorse them.

Ringgold Barracks, near Brownsville,
