When a Southern city of the size of

that an effort is going to be made
to relieve the Southern people from
the domination of New England
and the Moth generally. There is
reason why New Orleans should
not manufacture cotton goods out
of her own staple just as we'll as
New England States, and the in

A WRITER tells in tn, New York Observer
this anecdote of the Rev. Dr.. T. P Wilson,
of Philadelphia: In speaking of himself,
in the pulpit, he always used the plural.
His use of it on one occasion, | remember,
was almost ludcrous There was no air,
and the doctor seemed scarcely able to get
his breath. At intervals he would twitch
with nervous excitement at the huge white
cravat with which it was the fashion at that
time to incase the throat, but in vain; he
could get no relief. At length he stopped
at the end of a sentence, and, in his quiet,
low-toned manner, said: "1he congregation
will please excuse us for few minutes.
Our wife has tied our crayat too tight this
morning. So saying, he descended from his
seat, and with quiet composure which
seemed almost to divest the transaction of
its manifest incongruity, withdrew TO a lit
tie room adjoining, where he had the trouble

American fishermen have generally
abandoned the right to inshore fishery
in Canadian waters, which cost five and
half million dollars. They find better
fishing at home. The Canadian fisher
men are being driven out Of the market
by the Norwegians, who supply fish that
are better cured, and who conduct their
business with more enterprise. They
fish now by telegraph in Norway. Sta
tions have been built along the coast,
and during the herring season, which is
at its height for about six weeks, sharp
lookout is kept for shoals. Wherever
one is sighted, word is sent along the
line, and the available fishermen
promptly give chase. The old way was
for the fishermen to cruise along the
shore, trusting to luck and the reports
they might hear to come upon the her.
ring. Now, every morning during the
season, the position of the shoals which
are watched is reported and posted al
the principal telegraphic stations.
