The Funny Small Boy.

The room it was hot,
And the room it was school;
So the schoolmaster got
Fast asleep on his stool,
While the scholars were having irohe
Bcreit of all reason and r''la.
When q ball, badly aimed,
Struck tho schoolmasters nose,
Which was long and quite famed
For its terrible blows;
Then he scowled on those innocs $. scholars
In q way he could acowl when he chose.
"Come hither, my child,
Thou art writing, I see;"
And the schoolmuster smiled,
"Come, now, right on my knee;
The up-strokes, you see, are made lightly
The down-strokes are heavy and tree."
While that small boy was tanned,
Came his laughter--a roar,
And the teacher, so bland,
Was now vexed and he swore;
For the way that the awful boy glggled
Was something unheard OF before.
The teacher was beat
And deprived of his wind,
So he stood on his feet
That small boy, who just grinned,
And who shook with mirth that was Jolly
And ielt OF his back which was skinned.
"Now tell me, my son,
Ere this rod employ
Once again for thy fun,
Why this wonderful JOY" .
"Such q Joke" cried the lad, wild "''h

"You're whipping-ha-ha the wrong ooS'

Codhshing In the Pacific.

tSan FRANCISCO Alta July %
San Francisco had 10 cod.fshing vessels,
with $50 men, in 1870. The business iluctu.
ates with the demand for tho fish. and tho
number of vessels has never been the same for
two consecutive years. The total catch was
1000 tons In 1870, 300 in 1871, $50 in 1872,
$50 in 1873, $50 in 1874 $50 in 1875, 200 in
1876, 1900 in 1877, 1900 in 1873. The cod
fishing grounds are south of the Aleutian
Islands especially the Choumngin Group, and
in the Ochotsk Sea. The latter. though 1000
miles further and month in sailing time, is
preferred because the area of known fishing
ground is greater, the whole sea, 700 mil es long
by 800 wide, being one immense cod bank,
with water from % to so fathoms deep, where
the largest vessels can anchor and cruise
whereas the banks near the Aleutian Islands.
so far as examined, are too near the islands,
or too small for large vessels to venture
with safety. Behring Sea, twice as largo
as the Ochotsk, and from 10 to so
fathoms deep, is another immense cod
bank, but is not used now. There may be OK
tensive odbanks south fthe Aleutian Islands,
but the American Government has neglected
to have any exploration made. The average
size of the Pacific cod is about 81 pounds,
though there is no difficulty in getting larger
fish in deep water. few Goldfish are brought
to California from Massachusetts, but the inn
portation is steadily decreasing. aud will soon
cease. The California fish are sent to Oregon,
Washington, Nevada, few as fnr east as Utah,
and small shipments are made for the use of
Americans in Japan, China and Mexico, the
natives of those countries not having learned
to like salt fish. One cod-Asing vessel has
been sent out from Puget sound but has been
withdrawn from the business. Oregon, British
Columbia and Alaska have and have had no
sailing vessels occupied regularly in cod fish
ing, but the fish are caught off Vancouver Is
land and Alaska, and eaten fresh. All the cod
brought in cod fishing vessels to San Francisco
are pickle.cncd few caught near the har-
Dor are brought in fresh. .
