Mr.. Dodge, who called at his rooms in

that he had no part in the collection or
distribution of the money.
IT is now generally conceded that a
contest between Gen. Garfield and the
stalwart wing of the republican party is
that President Garfield will meet with a
much more intense opposition than Mr.:
Hayes ever experienced after the 4th of
ed with that consideration which they
claim as a right, in view of a possible
struggle between the stalwart and anti
stalwart wings of the republican party.

A writer in The London Daily News
says: After six months of smart ser.
vice Il soldier may become corporal,
just as he also may become a field
marshal at a later period Of his career;
that is to say, if fortune favors him.
There are more corporals, however,
than field marshals, because there is q
general outcry in the French army for
more corporals, whereas, of field mar.
shals there is at present no need Of an
increased supply, and when there may
be, Providence will doubtless provide
sufficient number of candidates fo1
the good of the service. On the other
hand, all the colonels commanding in
France examine their list of under-of
fcers with 81 feeling akin to despair,
for whenever their term of Office is ex-
pired, off they 60 in something less
than a jiffy. They depart in this abrupt
manner because no active young fel-

weakness of the stomach. No one can

WHEAT and pork may be good tol
"side spectators" as Sellers says, but
if man wants money by the ton he
should 90 into ostriches. Here are the
figures: An ostrich hen will lay eighty
eggs per annum, from which can
be hatch ed eighty young ostriches. Ol
these fully seventy will be hens, and
each one of them will in turn produce
eighty ostrich chickens annually. In
two years the ostrich breeder will have
6312 ostriches-or, say, $500, for per-
haps the cat will succeed in killing a
dozen. These birds, will be worth
$1,575,00O. To this must be added the
value of years crop of feathers, which
according to the Californian, will
amount to s63O,O0O more. At the end
of two years the ostrich farmer Will
thus be worth S2,2OG,OOO, after con,
ducting, as he has been already said

Salmon from the Merrlmaek.
Lawrence (Mass. American.

A short time ago large and beauti-
full salmon was offered for sale in Me-
thuen. Of course, as it was against the
law for this fish to be caught in waters
in this vicinity, it excited some curios.
ity. 1t came to the ears of the fish
commissioners, who put the case into
the hands of Detective Philbrick to look
up. After some searching it was found
that young man, well known in Me
thuen, saw the fish in Hanks brook,
which runs into the Merrimack, near
Mitchell's falls, and firing a gun over
him stunned him. He then stepped
into the water, and after severe fight.
succeeded in conquering his "catch," !"
and landing him. The young man was
arrested, but on pleading ignorance Of
the law, and the fish commissioners
merely wanting conviction, to let the
people know it was in violation of the
law to catch such fish, the case was
placed on file.
