We find from our latest European files that the
thoroughly satisfactory and complete exhibit made
by the United States at the Fish Culture Exhibition
Mt Berlin has been appreciated at its full value.
Even tho English papers are minute III their ac
counts OF it. The processes of artificial breeding
were familiar to Europeans long before they were
introduced into this country, but the Americans,
according to their habit have added Ito and I'M
proved the mechanical appliances of the craft for
such it may be called. The system Of organization
of tho United States Commission of Fish and
Fisheries has also been taken as q model by the

Of all fishes which swim in American waters, from
tho dainty golden spcckled trout to the gigantic

approved as they deserve by the public In Berlin
For accuracy and efficacy they are not equalled by

The combination between the forces of Sherman
and Grant in favor of the latter which seems to be
the last expedient of the beaten thrdterm leaders
is irration al and Impractcable Save In Maryland
the Sherman delegates have all been chosen by the
anti-third-term element in their respective States
and are fully committed to oppose the nomination

Blaine rs second choice may como to Sherman, but
the Sherman men cannot be transferred to Grant
Bargaining politicians who are talking OF
such an alliance of forces forget that the
question at Chicago is not going to be one
Of personal preference or availability only.
The principle of two terms only fori the Chief
Magistrate of the country either to be reasserted
or oyerthrown The delegates. with few exceptions,
have taken ground for or against this principle,
and their votes cannot be shifted from one caud-
date to another without regard to tho effect of such
changes upon their reputation as consistent and
hoorabla men, When the third-term people see
that thew are hopelessly beaten they will be free to
cast their votes for any candidate they please, but

The elevated railroads have produced one effect
which was hardly expected when they were opened

for people arriving late in the evening to get
room at any of the hotels near the City Hall, SO
much has their custom grown of late. The Astor

If benches were placed upon the platforms at the
elevated railway stations, where people could rest
after climbing the stairs, without going into the
close little wating-rooms, an improvement would
be made which would be appreciated by that por-
ton of the public which finds tho exercise of hasten
ing to station and mounting thirty or forty steps
decidedly fatiguing in warm weather. The waiting
rooms are seldom used by passengers, but the out
side benches would be constantly occupied.
