The recent movements and present atti-
tude Of Arab Pasha reproduce with singu-
lar exactness the earlier career Of one OF the
most remarkable Mohammedan heroes Of
the present century, Ali Pasha, Of Janins,
better known to history as Ali Tebelin.
Having distinguished himself in the Sultan's
service, aud acquired unbounded popularity
among the Albanian irregu!srs in the Tur-
kish army, he was at length appointed Gov
ernor Of the Albanian Province Of Epirus,
and fixed his seat at It's chief town, Janins
Here ne assumed independent authority.

PEELED all foreigners from his territory, and
began to organize the wild mountaineers OF
Epirus into a regular standing army. The
Sultan, alarmed at his proceedings, sent 10

piled In words which Arab Pasha has just
echoed, s'I may be willing to come, but my
soldiers will not be willing to let me-" He
offered aid to Greece In her war OF inde
pendence ags inst Turkey, and even medi-
lated the erection of Albania into an indie
pendent kingdom with himself for Its SOW
ereign. But the rooted mistrust OF the
Greeks and the dexterous intrigues OF the
Sultan bllghted these colossal schemes,
while his growing tyranny gradually alien
ated the affections of his Albanian vassals.
He was at length forced to fly from Janina
to an islet in the centre OF the lake, whence
a pretended pardon from the Sultan drew
him into the hands of band of assassins,
by whom he was at once dispatched.
The House, the other day, suspended the
rules and passed the joint resolution appro-
priating $50, COO for q representation Of the
United States at the Fishery Exhibition to
be held In London next May. One of the
results of the Berlin fish show of 1880 was
the sale of American preserved fish and fish
products throughout Europe, and the adop-
ton of American boned Goldfish In seventeen
German regiments. But the foreign trade

American fisheries in 1880 brought $45 ,000,-
600 to those engaged in them, so that the
total value, as sold at wholesale by the
dealers, is reckoned at $90,000,0C0. The
export trade that year was nearly six mil
lions, and doubtless now it is near ten mil
lions Prof. Baird says that new processes
will make the fish resources of the United
States worth 500, 100000 a year for home
and foreign trade. The export commerce
in oysters alone rose from $33, Gel 10 1875 to
$403, 629 in 1880. 1t is recognized in some

why they should not increase to 500, 000,-
COO. 1t is probable that the $500 to be
laid out for display at London will be a
good investment.
