M'Ginty's Long Tramp.

The famous travelling printer John
7. McGinty, better known among the
fraternity as " Texas jack" after more
than YEARS wandering in the West
and on the Pacific Slope, has again turn.
ed up in this city. McGinty is the prince
among wandering printers. He has
walked from California to Quebec, and
to Boston and back again. He has
made several trips from Lake Itasca to
Lake Ponchartrain, and set type in ev-
cry town on the Mississippi River be-
tween St. Paul and New Orleans Not
content with wandering over the North
American continent, he has crossed the
Atlantic and tramped over great part
of Europe. -....,.
"Texas Jack I" is a man of consider
able intelligence and keen perceptive
faculties, and the incidents of his life
would make an interesting romance.
He has had his love affairs, the uncer-
tain running of whose current has had
much to do with his tireless travels for
nearly a quarter of "A century. The OBJ
ject of his youthful affections is still liv-
ing in his native city, Boston. He said
yesterday that in all his wanderings his
thoughts had ever been fixed upon Bos-
ton, his old parents, whom he had not
seen in eight years, and the object OF
his youthful love.
He served as Union soldier in the
late war. As drum-major Of the Forty
ninth Massachusetts,, under Ben Butler,
he was in New Orleans during Buffers
stay in that city. He afterward went to
Texas, where he obtained his nickname.
He is now on his way to Boston TO join
his old parents, marry his only and first
love, and settle down for the rest Of his
days.-NesO York Sun, July -.

A New Process Of Fish Hatching-The
, NIT Sea to be Rep0pulatod.

~ aNL
Prof. Baird, Secretary OF the Smith
sonian Institution, proposes to carry on
more effectively the operations of hatch
ing fish. The method devised few
years ago by Seth Green, of Matching
spawn in boxes with wire gauze bottoms
set in the currents of streams, has dur
ing the past year been abandoned. An
improved process has been substituted,
of suspending the spawn In buckets at
tached to RATS, and Of gently and regu-
lsrly tipping them by means Of steam
machinery, thus dispensing with the ne
cessity OF currents, and enabling the
Matching to go on in the open sea.
BY this improved process the commits
sion has in the past year Matched 25,-
100000 Of shad, where, as it is said by
Prof. Baird, the utmost number that
could have, been obtained by the old
method would have been 8, 900, 900. The
possession by the Fish Commission of q
steamer to tow its Matching RATS at
pleasure from one place to another will,
it is thought by the Commission, increase
its facility of work to such an extent as
to enable 1t to hatch fish artificially in
unlimited numbers. Experiments with
other kinds of fish indicate that the
process can be applied With equal sue
cess to the Matching Of the eggs Of sal
