We doubt if in the world there can be

have often," writes gentleman in Maine,
concerning the tunnies. watched their
antics from the masthead of my vessel; !;
rushing and thrashing like demons among
a school of fish; darting with almost
lightning swiftness, scattering them in
every direction, and throwing hundreds
of them in the air with their
tails" The pollock, the whiting, the
striped bass, the cod, the sque-teague, and
the garfish are savage foes. The sword
fish and the bayonet-hsh destroy many,
rushing through the schools and striking
ri,ht and left with their powerful swords
The blue-fsh and bonito are, however, the
most destructive enemies, not even eX-
cepting man, these corsairs of the sea,
not content with what they eat, which is
of itself an enormous quantity, rush .av-
enously through the closeiy-crowded
schools, cutting and tearing the living
fish as they go, and leaving in their wake
the mangled fragments. Traces of the
carnage remain for weeks in the great
'slicks" of oil SO commonly seen on
smooth waters in summer. Prof. Baird
has estimated the destruction by the
blue-fish, based on period of four
months in the middle of the summer and
fall, and for the coast of New England
only. Applying similar methods of cal
culation to the menhaden, the total mum.
ber destroyed annually on our coast by
predaceous animals may be estimated as
1000, 1000, 900, 100000, 900; in comparison
with which the quantities destroyed by
man, yearly, sink into insigniicance. It
is not hard to surmise the menhaden's
place in nature; swimming in closely
packed, unwieldy masses, helpless as
focks of sheep, near to the surface and
at the mercy of every enemy, destitute OF
means of defense and ofense, their mis-
sion is unmistakably to be eaten. In the
economy of nature, certain orders of ter
restrial animals, feeding entirely upor
vegetable substances, seem intended fol

ials into the nitrogenous tissues necessary
for the food of other animals, which ar,

We may call attention to the extra0r-
dinary progress the press has been max
ing of late years in Germany, under Con
stitutions that are either Liberal or pro-
fess to be SO. Those small-sized German
papers are priced comparatively dear. Yet
the proprietors occasionally perform feats
of enterprise that are worthy of their con-
freres in London or New York. There is
the Kelnische Zeitung for example,
which has still it's head Office in the old
Rhenish city, though it is Berlin jour
nal to all intents and purposes. Its war
intelligence during the Franco-German
war was admirable; its foreign correspon-
dence is invariably excellent; and its
leading articles are lucid, pointed and
closely reasoned.
But its most conspicuous features are
its reporting and distribution. 1t has
its staff of shorthand writer's in gallery
in the Chambers of the Capital, who re-
lieve each other every ten minutes; and
the notes of each reporter are flashed
Immediately along the electric wires to
Cologne. There they are printed and
published in time for dispatch by the
night train; and the paper circulates in
Berlin in time to be laid on the breakfast
tables. The number of home subscribers
has increased in ten or twelve years from
about 10000 to 26,000-a very creditable
total for country like Germany; and a
separate edition is published besides fol
transmission to foreign countries.
More significant still Of the growing
interest in public affairs is the state Of
things in Southern Germany. Before
lS4S, with the exception of the Govern
ment Gazette, there was no politca
newspaper in Vienna. In 1860 there
were over hundred journals of one kline
or another; while in the Exhibition year
before the financial crash, according tC
figures in the official statistics, they hac
increased to 355. Nothing can be more
perfectly organized than the chief estab
lishments; so far, at least, as the literar.
arrangements are concerned. Each sub
editor has his department-home politics
FOREIGN affairs, finance, &c.; and while
their apartments are as handsome as w
might expect in city that half-ruinet
itself by extravaganza in building, w

An Australian Oiei Bishop.
LII ondnra Talonra nh /

DR.. Moorhouse, the Bishop of Mel
bourne, would appear to enjoy an extra
ordinary popularity among the laymen
of his diocese, if we may judge by the
cordial terms of praise in which he is
spoken of by our Antipodean contempo-
rares. His lordship, so the South Aus
tralian Register affirms, is confirmed
smoker and scorns to cloak or hide his
partiaity for the fragrant weed before
the face of anybody whomsoever. A
writer in the above-named entertaining
periodical breaks out into very rap
ture of laudation as he described the
bold Doctor "pufing short black clay"
"The Bishop" he writes, good luck to
him! likes his pipe and knows full we'll
that by stepping off an artificial pedestal
and taking his manly stand shoulder to
shoulder with his fellows he has achieved
sympathetic influence far beyond that
of any priest or preate in the colonies.
Who would not like to smoke pc
with the pleasant and worthy gentle
manw 1t would be interesting to learn
who are bishops fellows from colonial
point of view. There is something mag
nifcently democratic in the notion of a
reverend prelate standing in row with
all the great official personages of Aus
tralia and blowing his cloud with unas-
suming vivacity. DR.. Moorhouse, unless
his journalistic admirers do him injustice,
is something of humorist as well as an
habitual smoker. The following story is
told of him by the enthusiast above
quoted. He had just delivered most
impressive address, and was sitting in the
bay-window of little rural parsonage
signing confirmation certificates.
As he signed he talked. The afternoon
was warm and an uncommonly pertina-
cious fly repeatedly settled ion the Bish-
ops nose. He brushed it off twice OF
thrice, but still that resolute fly returned
to its selected pasture, 'just," he OBJ.
served, as he once more swept it away
''just like mans wife-always comes in
the same place-always has its own way
in the end" 1t may be presumed from
this evidently heartfelt assurance that
his lordship is very much married man
