4 remarkable instance of the increase
in the fisheries OF a region, from agencies
only indirectly those of man, has lately
been brought to light on the coast of
France A vessel loaded with so-called
Portuguese oysters was wrecked six or
seven years ago on the sand bar, mt the
mouth of the river Gironde, and its con
tents were scattered in the water. They
seemed to find it a suitable abode, as it
has recently been ascertained that they
have multiplied to an extraordinary de-
gree All the rocks along the coast for
twenty four miles are covered with oys-
tiers, of which 60.OO0,000 were gathered
in 1875, sO,OOO,000 in 1876, and $780,
100000 in 1877. OF these the green
ones bring readily fifteen cents per
dozen, by the wholesale in Paris, while
white oysters from the same place are
worth two or three times Us much.

The Italian Clergy.

The italian Bishops are now for the
most part mere creatures of the Jesuits.
They are utterly destitute of personal
initiative, and are seldom gifted with
either talent or learning The inferior
clergy are at once poor and ignorant.
Widely different is the Roman Catholic
hierarchy and clergy, taken as q body,
in England or France or Germany.
There we see prelates Of ability, energy
and erudition, iahoring with untiring
zeal for the domination of their church.
In what Italian province shall we find
the type of the restless and intriguing
priest such as he is painted by Emile
lola in his Conquete de Plassons, a type
only too familiar in the provincial So
ciety both Of France and England ?
The incumbent OF parish III q large
Italian town-whcn his Pensioners
present q mixture Of Clericals, Liberals
and old noble families-plays the part
of dexterous diplomast on all political
questions. When he can only count on
an element of fanaticism, he plays the

the Venetian, Lombard. Genoese and
Piedmontese provinces, those i'll which
the Pope recognizes as legitimate the
sovereignty of IIumbert ]. In the
country districts he commonly reflects
in the views Of the wealthiest of the
neighboring landowners. If his Squire
is an out and out Clerical, he too is an
out-and-out clerical If his Squire is
a decided Liberal, above all if he is one
who often asks his parish priest to din
her, the parish priest has extremely lib
eral views, and beneath the generous i'll
huence of his hosts Chianti or Barolo,
will keep the table in a roar by telling
good stories as to the way in which the
more skeptical aud sat!rical OF his par
ishoners are in the habit of treating the
dogmas of Holy Mother Church. 1t is
not uncommon to find the parish priest
shy i'll speaking of politics at all, but it
is very uncommon to find HIM preach
ing openly from his pulpit against the
government. The parish priests, with
few exceptions. are extremely ignorant,
and this general state of ignorance i'll

slant and unfeigned anxiety to the pres

made III the intellectual and moral con

shortly after his accession, said to Mas

are mere dirt" (Fango.) 1t is a mel
ancholy fact, which must suggest most
painful reflections to all who are really
interested in the moral and religious
welfare of Italy, that the parish priest
generally stands in the scale of inforlna
ton and character below the mounted
carabineer or ordinary tax-collector of
his district and no surprise need be
felt if this state OF matters so deeply

Mr.. Annis, for some weeks prior
to his death, had been ailing with
dropsy. The best of medical attend

ayailed nothing. The funeral, which
took place on Tuesday, was the
largest ever seen in that part of the

preached the sermon, which. we are
informed by those who heard it, was
very. impressive, and, at the same

We like to. present our readers,
so far as possible with items of spe-
cial interest. The following scrap Of
historic lore, though distant in point
of detail, should be. par excellence,
anitem ofinterest to every truly patri-
otto American. Peter Rice, the Fort
Adams veteran, recently drowned at
Newport, Rhode Island, had been a
soldier in the United States service
twenty-eight years, had not missed
q roll-call in ten years, and was the
only surviving private who was in
Fort Sumpter when it surrendered.
During the War of the Rebellion,
his rebel father-in-law offered him
$4,000 to spike the guns at Fort
Adams, but like true patriot, he re-
fused. The wearers OF shoulder
straps are not the only heroes in the
world. To find the brightest lights,
we must look among the names un-
written upon the tablet of fame.

YOU'VE men should look carefully
and see where the mirror hangs
when they sit on the sofa beside the
dear creatures. A nice young man,
in Illinois, has been sued for breach
of promise of marriage by an irate,
would-be mother-in-law, and the
damages are placed at $4,000. The
main testimony in the case seems to
be founded on the fact that the old
lady looked through the keyhole
into q mirror and saw the endear-
ments Of the fond young couple as
they sat in the same chair or snug
gled up to eachother on the lounge.

Business.

In the early days Of our present
railroad corporation, soon after the
company had commenced to collect
cash subscriptions to defray the ex-
penses of preliminary operations,
one Of our prominent business men
suggested that a committee be ap-
pointed to confer with the merchants
and jobbers of Portland, with the
view of obtaining subscriptions from
them on account of the trade that
would be thrown into their hands as
soon as complete railroad commune
cation should be established between
this place and Portland. 1t was ar
gued, with pretty good show Of
reason and probability, that, when
small invoices of goods for special
purposes, or even single packages
for individual customers could be
received here the next day after the
order for them was sent, such facili-
ties would undoubtedly provoke
lively trade between the smaller
dealers here and those houses in
Portland from which they were
wont to receive their supplies. This
suggestion, like other far-fetched
plans in times of emergency. had,
as o matter of course, incrsau,ous
opponents. But the sequel has hap
PLY shown that the plan proposed
was wise one, although we believe
it was never put into execution. 1t
is well known that hardly a day
passes that some of our dry-goods
merchants, glocers or hardware deal
ers do not have calls for articles
which they do not happen to have
on hand, the almost inevitable con-
sequence of which is, orders are at
once dispatched to Portland houses
for small invoices of the requisite
goods. Hence, we see, that nearly
every incoming train brings greater
or less amount of assorted freight,
made up CT the various parcels and
packages to which we have alluded.
Even the most observing of our citi-
zens are far from having an adequate
idea of the amount of freight that
comes by rail and steamer to Olym-
pia. While it is true, that our mer-
chants aim to purchase their regu-
lar Fall and Spring stocks in San
Francisco, a large and remunsrative
jobbing business is maintained be-
tween this city and Portland.
In times like these, everything APP
pertaining to what we have men
toned helps along business. Let
nobody be discouraged. Our COM
merce is growing.
