The Instincts and Emotions of
luoEl- gHgs- Fishes.

ad At the opening meeting of the
session of the Linn@an Society of
London, held on the 9th of NoVem-
Der, DIR. Francis Day read a paper
on the ''Instincts and Emotions of
Fishes" The study of the subject
had, he said, received but very little
attention in late years, most natural
lists apparently accepting Cuvier's
view,-that the existence of fishes is a
silent, monotonous, and joyless one.
This is, however, by no means the
case, though we cannot, of course,
expect to find special expressions so
we'll marked as in higher animals,
because fishes have immovable eye
lids, baYe their cheeks covered with
scales, and have no external ears,
whose motions in some animals are
so expressive. The most numerous
recorded observations are those
which refer to the regard for the
young. Some fishes are polygamous,
but among the homogeneous there is
seen a watchfulness ever the young,
in which the male often plays as i'm
portant part as the female, With
several species it is the duty of the
male to prepare the nest, as well as
to take care of the young In some
classes, which are not.nest builders,
the eggs are carried about in the
cheek hollows of the male. In the
case of the stickle-bac Gdsteroset-
etts), the nest, besides being guarded
by the male, is gradually opened
more and more to the action of the
water, and current is directed over
il by a motion of the body. That
fishes may be trained to come when
called is well known, though as this is
generally associated with feeding, it
may not be taken to mean much.
Cases have been noticed of male fish
es remaining at the same spot in a
river from which the female has been
removed; and, in one case, where a
pair were separated for three weeks,
they became miserable and seemed
near death, while on being reunited
they again became happy. In aqua
ria fishes have been known to attach
themselves TO particular spots, and
battles to ensue with intruders. Such
combats have been watched, and it
has been noticed that while the con-
queror assumes more brilliant hues,
the conquered sneaks off with his

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May s, 1880.
It is probably not generally known

up bill which has been lying upon the
table for long time, providing for com
mission to decide upon some plan for se-
curing more room for the Congressional
Library.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, is
regarded as one of the amusing features
raf the Senate s4sas ulp< La anises to
make a speech on any subject, as the
scintillations of wit are sure to be bright
and numerous. His speech on the Kel~
logg Spofford reso utions recently deliv.

q circus.'
Senator Bayard states that his bill in
regard to Deputy Marshals at elections
will shortly be reported from the Cons
mittee Ola Judiciary. This bill fixes the
pay of U. S. Marshals at S. a day, while
employed, and provides that they shall
be appointed by the United States
Courts equally from the two parties, and
that they shall be men of good moral
character and well known citizens and
residents of the voting precinct where
they serve.

dent Order of Mechanics has been dur

The Census.


Tie following Supervisors of the Gems
sus in New Jersey were confirmed on
Thursday of last week: Elias O. Dore
mus OF East Orange for the First District,
A. E. Gordon of New Brunswick for the
Second District, John N. i. stratton of
Mount Holly to the Third District.
The First Census District Of which Mr..
Doremus is the Supervisor, comprises
the counties of Essex, Bergen, Passaic,
Morris, Warren and Sussex. Instruc~
tons from the Superintendent at Wash
ington are to the effect that the sub dis
tricts must be as small as can be conyen-
iently formed, probably each polling
district to be a census district, although
it is not improbable that district may
be ward of township. But in no case
can the district be larger than town or
ward. In few days, doubtless. full
instructions will be received from the
Washington headquarters, when such
portions as are proper VIII be puoilshea.
Mr.. Doremus has already received a
large number of applications for the
position of Enumerators, including seY-
eral from ladies. His first action will be
to subdiyide the various cities, townships
and wards into districts, and submit the
same to the Superintendent at Washing
ton for approval. After this is done, the
Supervisor selects the Enumerators
and also submits them to Washing
ton for approval. The Enumerators re-
ceive 81 per day compensation, or an
amount not exceeding two cents name
and in addition an allowance for statisti,
cal information. The districts, it is un'
derstood, will be small, as the law re
quires the work 10 be done within two
weeks after June l.

Heavy and destructive fires have been
raging during the week throughout the
oil regions in Pennsylvania, the Pocono
mountains. and the Jersey Pines.
In the oil regions whole sections are
deluged with burning wells, destroying
villages and an immense quantity of oil.

lowing account of the forest fires in South
Jersey: From the heavily wooded
country traversed by the Camden and
Atlantic Railroad in Southern New Jer>
sey comes tardy news of the beginning
of one of The new and apparently most
serious of the disastrous forest fires in
that section. A spark from the locomo-
tive that drew a passenger train over the
road last Sunday fell among dry leaves in
the woods beyond Pomona station. The
country is parched, and at that time a
gale of wind was sweeping on from the
southwest. 1t famed the tiny fame that
shot up among the leaves, and before the
fire was noticed belt OF flame was eating

the blaze obscured the sun in the neigh
borhood Of the fire. Forerunners star,

In the village church the minister pros

ers ran to the woods. Breathless work
was done and not moment lost by any

was almost fruitless. The wall of flames
leaped on despite every effort, and the
town was all but swept away in short
time. About thirty houses were de-
stroyed, and with them the barns and
fences of the settlement. and the cord
wood and the valuable cedar swamp.
The fire swept past and yesterday was
said to be still burning. People from the
adjacent towns have cared for those

The municipal election on Monday
last was one of the most closely contested
which has occurred here for many years.
Both parties put forth their full strength
and worked hard and nnceasing to gain
the victory, which was at last well earned
by the Republicans electing their entire
ticket, thereby securing control OF the
city government for the next two years.
There was comparatively little scratch
ing done by the Republicans, owing to
the fact that the success of the entire
ticket was required in order to gain ma
iority in the Council. The Democrats,
while working hard for all of their candi-
dates, realized that concentration upon
one would, if successful, secure their con-
tinued power. But the Republicans
watched eagerly for manifestations OF
who the favored one was to be, and ac-
cordingly Unanswered to counterfeit any
consolidation in that direction. Nearly
all the candidates from Mayor down were
personally on the ground and did their
best for "the ticket" and at the closing
of the polls it was more difficult to guess
who was elected than it would be for any
of them to solve the Is puzzle.
1t was remarked, however, that each
aspirant wore a cast of countenance,
wonderfully mixed with indications of
triumph and fear, peculiarly blended.
And this is not to be wondered at when
we remember the close and hard strug-
gle by both sides.
Notwithstanding the unusually large
crowd which surrounded the polls and
faithfully labored all day in the broiling
sun were about equally divided as oppo
nents, everything passed off pleasantly,
and we do not know of a single instance
of anything even bordering on quarrel
or dispute occurring throughout the
whole day. This is certainly very much
to our credit as city, and as citizens who
although striving with each other for po-
litical mastery, do SO upon the broad
ground Of principle and without that per
sonal trickery which is too apt to manifest
itself upon such occasions,
The Republicans gained complete
victory,and the Democrats accord it with-
out further question or controversy.
Each candidate wiped the perspiration
from his brow at closing of the polls, and
entirely with the consciousness of
having done his duty.
Each candidate felt that he was elected
-andjust half of them were right.

The fear of the weather has sent
multitudes to their graves who 9TH
erwise might have lived in health
many years longer. The fierce north
wind and the furious snow-storm
kin comparatively few, while hot
winter rooms and crisping summer
suns have countless hecatombs OF
human victims 10 attest their power.
Except in localities where malignant
missmata prevail, and that only in
warm weather, outdoor life is the
heslthiest and happiest, from the
tropics to the poles.
The general fact speaks for itself,
that persons who are out-of-doors
most take cold least. In some parts
of our country near one-half of our
adult deaths are from diseases of the
sir-passages. These ailments arise
FROM aking cold i'm VsUne way or
another mud surely the reader will
take come Sinterest in a subject
which. by, at least one chance out of
four, his own life may be lost.
Ah-eolds, we believe, arise from
one of two causes.
1. BY getting cool too quickly sf-
ter exercise, either as TO the whole
body or any part of it.
o. BY being chilled, and remain
ing 80 for q long time, for want of
exercise.
To avoid colds from the former,
we haye only to go to fire the mo-
ment the exercise ceases. in the win
ter. IL i'm the summer, repair at
once to closed room, and there
remain with the same clothing on
until cooled off.
To avoid colds from the latter
cause, and the sc engender the most
speedily fatal diseases, such as pleu-
risies, Group, aud Inflammation of
the lungs, called pneumonia, we
have only to compel ourselves to
walk with sufficient vigor to keep
of chilliness. Attention to a pre-
cept contained i'm less than a dozen
words would add twenty years to
the average OF civilized life.
Keep away chilliness by exercise /;
cool of slowly. Then you will new
er take cold, indoor or out.
