A police can invade a merchants
counting room and lay violent hands on
him in making an arrest for obstructing
the sidewalks with store boxes.
They can fine and arrest an insensible
drunken man who has lain down in some
remote place in an ally, and drag him to
the station house. Why can't they pro-
coed against man who is engaged in the
unlawful sale of spirituous liquors.
They say they must wait to be in
formed What information do they
want2 Most Of them are frequent visit
OTIS, and are personally familiar with the
saloons where the unlawful traffic is car
ried on. X.

Displays at the London Fisheries
Exhibition show that the Chinese have
some very ingenious methods of captur
ing fishes. In Swallow, for instance,
they employ boat drawing few inches
of water. with the railroad nearly level
with the surface. A narrow plank on
one side is painted white, and in the
moonlight the fish mistake this water
and jump over it into the boat. AT
Ningpo cormorants are Systematically
trained to fish, while at Ichang wild an
imal such as the otter is trained, not to
fish but to brighten the fish into nets.

The 47th Congress has closed its
labors, having passed all the regular
appropriation bills and also the long
debated internal revenue and tariff
bill. The river and harbor bill was
allowed by the Senate to lapse from
want of time to consider it, the OK
perience of the last session having
shown that that kind of a bill demands
a great deal of careful consideration.
The reduction of taxes effected by
the internal revenue portion of the
measure so long under debate is esti-
mated at about $40, 100000; by the
tariff portion s25. 900, 900. of which
about Sill 200, 0OOis in sugar alone.
The public treasury will still have a
surplus revenue of from thirty to
fifty millions annually, to supply the
greed of public cormorants and en-
courage jobbery of all kinds. whilst
that amount of unnecessary taxation
remains saddIed upon the people at
large, for the benefit of the few.

There has been recorded in the
Clerks Office of Augusta county, Va,
another mortgage on the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad for s.. 800. 600, which,
together with SIS, 900 and s25, 900
per mile mortgages heretofore re-
corded, makes the preferred indebt-
edness of this road about SIS, 900
per mile. This last mortgage, how
ever, provides for issuing what are
called s'non-intercst accommodating
income bonds" upon which six per
cent. interest is to be paid, after
providing for the gross income for
the expenses of operating the road,
and the interest upon the mortgage
debt, and it therefore operates, as
we understand it, as an issue of 81
100000 of preferred stock. The
failure of the Legislature to pass a
bill allowing this railroad company
to issue preferred stock is met by
the company executing bonds of the
character mentioned. The reason
for issuing these bonds is. that addi-
tional facilities of transportation are
required by the S. V. r. R. to meet
the increased carrying trade the road
is to receive from the Norfolk &
Western Railroad, with which road 4
traffic contract WAS adopted at the
meeting Of the stockholders held in
Luray on the 18th uIt.
