A Curious Fact About Bass.

[George Dawson in the Albany Journal1
 Ia recent letter Seth Green, who is au- thority in all matters piscatorial, discourses briefly on the best modes of angling for bass. Among other statements he makes the following, which will be interesting to great many ''simp1e wise men" who have the good sense and leisure to go fishing.
 If the fish is on the lower fly, you will not take any more, but if he is on one of the up- per flies, you will be sure to take more if there are any in sight.
 We learned this fact and published it years ago as a curious habit of the bass family. But we knew the fact long before we discovered the reason of it. Nothing in our angling ex- perience ever caused us more perplexity or SO greatly excited our curiosity. It took us a week of patient observation on what used to be the best trolling ground on the St Law rence-in the neighborhood of Gananoqua- to clear up the mystery. But we finally suc- ceeded to our entire satisfaction, and here is the simple solution
 The bass is social fish. He likes compa- ny. Where there is one there are more. They move in schools. When one strikes the troll there are always others in the neighbor- hood. When the lockers on see the struck fish ''cutting up" they Ego for him" under the impression that he has found 'good thing" of which they are unwilling he should have the monopoly. As the angler, on feel ing the strike, at once 'treels up," the raven ous rascals follow in pursuit, but never pass Sheir leaping and foundering companion, be- cause they fancy he is trying to seize and gorge the ''tid- bit" they wish to share with him. This purpose keeps them either even with or behind him, but they never pass him. Hence none ever take the fly above the one upon which the captive is hooked, but are pretty sure to be beguiled by any fly below him.

Dogs and Obnoxious Cat

Unmuzzied Dogs and Obnoxious Cat
 tIee
 To ahe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There is, am informed, city ordinance which forbids any person allowing any dog to go, or be at large, in any of the streets or public squares, or in any uninclosed place in the city of New Haven, between the 1st day of May and the 1st day of October, and any per son violating this ordinance is subject to fine of $2O; and it is also made the duty of the police to kill dogs at large in violation of this ordinance. There is also another ordinance which forbids the pasturing of cattle in the streets and public squares. But who would ever imagine that any such laws existed, when we see the streets swarming with unmuzzled dogs. and in many cases uncollared; and when our sidewalks are continually found covered with filth deposited by catt le pastured in the streets?
 Who ever heard of Q conviction for either of the above offences2 There have, believe, been some prosecutions under the ordinances, but the prosecutors have generally found that these ordinances-like our statute that pre- tends to punish murder in the stfrst degree"- do not mean anything in particular, and very little in general.
 Those highly ornamented guardians of the public peace and the lives and welfare of the citizans-the police-have not been guilty, so far as can learn, of ever enforcing the above ordinances, or causing prosecutions to be made against the violators thereof. Why does not the Chief of Police see that at least an at tempt is made to enforce the law, and to pun ish those who violate it It seems to me there ia A chance for some one to rise and explain You can count from ten to fifty unmuzzled dogs in Chapel street every day. Whose fault is it that the law is violated?
 Perhaps, also, when the proper person arises to explain the above conundrums, he will also explain what we keep and pay police force thousands of dollars out of the city treasury for each year, if it is not for the purpose of seeing that the laws and city ordinances are obeyed and enforced. We pause for areply.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Free Land and Free Trade: The Lessons of the English Corn Laws Applied to the United States" by Hon. Samuel s. Cox, is book which both protectionists and free traders should read. The thesis of the book is, the necessity of enlarged foreign markets for the surplus of production from farm and factory in the United States. Mir. Cox points out that we are rapidly outgrowing the market to which our tariff walls practically limit us, and the questions present themselves, tWill our suplus go to other nations, carrying bene- fits and bringing benefits in return, or, for lack of those mutual conditions which make trade possible, is the flood of good things to be damned in it's passage and flung back upon us to destroy and be destroyed ?" To answer the former question afirmatively MT. Cox de- clares ''We must have the opportunity and privilege-the liberty to trade," and contin- ues: "We cannot sell without buying. Our crude product is now nearly ninety per cent of our exports but will even that continue If England should place restrictions on the i'm portation of our cereals and beef, re-enact her corn laws, what would be the effect on us, and especially in case the good years for crops
  Where then would be our market ?" These and similar problems MT. Cox considers in the light of experience, taking the corn laws of England as text, because he considers the history of their enactment, their application and their repeal, presentation at once com pact and exhaustive of the protective theory in it's practical working. He has also a good deal that is sensible to say concerning free land, and shows the baleful influence of the feudal land tenures of Great Britain and Ireland upon British and Irish agriculture. Unlike many books which deal with problems of political economy, this book is not dull and unreadable. The author presents his facts graphically and puts his arguments point fore most, not neglscting to use his gift of saying things in way which compels attention. Published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the book seller.
 Augustus Mongredien, is another argument in favor of free trade. The author reviews the present position of the free trade question in respect to the world at large, and especially in respect to the commerce of England. In the first part the bearings of free trade on the commerce and industry of nations generally are shown, and in the second the condition of English commerce is examined with view to ascertain to what extent, if any, it may be ascribable to the operations of free trade.
Morning journal and courier., 1880-05-07

The conclusions arrived at are that free trade ought everywhere to prevail, and in the case of England that just as the free trade system enabled tn he people to take the utmost possi- ble advantage of the period of prosperity, so it has enabled them to meet the phase of re- action and diversity with less strain on their resources than in any of the protected coun- tries. This book, which has reached it's sev- enth edition, is published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co.,, and is for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 Part seventh of the second volume of Mrs. Martha J. Lambs ''History of the City of New York" opens with brief but graphic introduction to the leading lawyers of the period when New York first became the na- tionaI capital. It embraces many subjects of varied and special interest-the appearance of the city while Congress held it's sessions in Wall street, the public spirit awakened by the increase of population and business, the distinguished citizens and the Inequalities ex- tended to distinguished strangers and foreign Ministers, gimpses of social affairs with per- sonal descriptions, the prominent physicians of the time, the City Hospital, the doctors mob, and bits of family biography are all woven with much skill into the readable mar rative. One of the chief attractions of this number of the work is an account of the pat taken by New York in the framing of the Constitution of the United States. The rep resentative men of the convention at Phila- delphia are sketched with 8 firm hand, dis closing minute research. An elaborate ac- count of the great Federal celebration in New York is accompanied with fullpage picture by Alfred Fredericks, illustrative of the gor- geous pageant, of which the ship Hamilton was the most conspicuous feature. The ar- rival of Washington and his inauguration up- on the balcony of Federal Hall, in Wall street, completes one of the most important and at- tractive chapters in the work thus far. Among the other illustrations is 8 fine portrait of Gouverneur Morris, from painting by Ames in possession of the New York Historical So- ciety, the copy of a rare old print of the City Hospital, and 8 picture of the Walter Frank lin mansion, near the site of Harpers' pub fishing house, where the first President of the United States resided. Published by A. s. Barnes & Co.,, New York.
 "The Amazon" translated from the Ger man of Franz Dingerstedt by J. M. Hart, is added to the "Knickerbocker Novels' pub lished by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. It is from the pen of writer favorably known in his own country and has sufficient merit to entitle it to a cordial reception here. The story takes it's name from German opera called The Amazon" It's heroine is prima donna, and artists and musical people figure largely. The novel may be designated as musical and artistic, but it also presents pie ture of society among ths other cultivated classes of Germany. The plot of the story turns on game of cross marriages, and is cleverly managed. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

We note as an additional interesting fact of sci enoe that ''a lobster of 1O3 inches after it's period of reproduction, when 1t casts its shell, increases immediately in size, gaining several inches, and an additional pound or two, and is then only good for food" Here seems to be ample ground for the adoption of measure which the States of Massachusetts and Maine have already entered on their stat ute books.

The Republicans of Tennessee who met in convention yesterday proved themselves worthy members of the party which opposes dishonesty in financial matters. Their reso- lution that any attempt to impair the indebt- edness acknowledged by the bonds of Tennes- sse is downright repudiation and high handsd dishonesty has the right ring to it.
