Officers of the Hudson Bay Com
pany have for many years known of
the Black Cod of the Northwest coast
which the Indians of Cape Flattery
call the Boschow. The fish i'm reality,
is not a cod at all, but aspecies of pol
lack, and has q scientific name much
too elaborate to use.
To Judge Swan, of Washington Ter
ritory, the credit is due of calling pub
lie attention to the excellence of this
fish, and the thanks of British Column
bia are due to that gentleman for the
information he has furnished on the
subject. We are under obligation to
Judge Swan for fine specimen of the
fish cured while on his recent visit to
the Queen Charlotte group on behalf
of the Smithsonian Institute. We
found the fish rare delicacy, such as
can only be appreciated by those who
have enjoyed it. 1t is extremely fat
and rich, and has very much the fla
vor of the best mackefal. The texture
of the fish is tender and delicate, and
quite free from the wooiness and
hardness which are the chief defects
in salted Goldfish. 1t is not too much
to say that the quality and general
y
that they cannot fail to meet with
universal appreciation wherever in
troduced. From Judge Swan we learn
the following particulars: The fish
when taken from the water average
about thirty inches in length. They
abound all along the west coast of
Queen Charlotte Island and mainland
up to Alaska Territory. Owing to the
great depth at which they are found,
the Indians do not fish for them gen.
orally, but could be readily got to do
so were the demand great. With
proper tackle white men could take
these fish in any required quantity.
Here there II an opportunity that will
doubtless he taken advantage of by
our merchants or traders to start a line
of business that will undoubtedly at
no distant date attain large proper
tions. SO socn as the railway into
the great northwest comes 10 be
opened up there will be never fail
ing demand for all the fish that Brit
ish Columbia can produce, and the
black cod, dry-salted, barreled, kip
pered or smoked, will readily find Il
market throughout the vast territory.
We look forward with confidence to
see this field of enterprise promptly
taken advantage of, and we believe ii
will be mine of wealth to those who
avail themselves of it, and afford a
source of great benefit to the prov
| ince.

The Department of Agriculture is
engaged in the investigation of dis
eased pork. The results thus far show
that the antipathy of Chancellor Bis
marck against American pork may
be as justly directed to home produc-
ton, as the proportions are about the
same, being in Germany as in Amer
lea, about / per cent. Germany has
instituted a very complete system of
examination, having, it is said, 1900
persons employed for that purpose,
and it would not be unwise for our
Government to intimate her thorough
ness I'm this particular. The appoint
ment of Il few inspectors TO reside in
cities where the main quantity ofpork
is packed for export would do away
with the antipathy against American
pork, and doubtless induce Germany
to repeal her law prohibiting its i'm
portation. Infected meat-that is
meat in which trichin@ is found, is
not dangerous unless eaten raw. 1t
is stated that the results thus far of
the present investigation show a larger
percentage of infected hogs than at
previous inspections. II the result
shall he to find some preventive or
remedy fer the disease, Congress and
the Department of Agriculture will
have done very good work.

A fish belonging to species of
which only one or two specimens have
been taken previously, was brought
to San Francisco short time since
from Alaska. 1t is about five feet long
and from back to belly is about eight
inches wide through its entire length.
The head has some of the character
istics of the fish, vile the appearance
otthe mouth exhibits similarity TO
ing teeth. In the roof of the mouth
are three teeth about an inch long.
But little is known of the species, bat
the EsquimauX and Indians of Alaska
state thatthey inhabit deep water and
are very ferocious, so much SO that
they frequently attack seals.

'Is it true that the case of Ia

L. Ward, of Patterson, N. j.
eyes" replied Mr.. Ward, 'the
case is settled"
"And it is said Mr.. Ward. that
you have come in possession of the

'eThat's SO, I've got the farm,
and Garry Ackerson, of Hacken-
sach, the lawyer on the other side
has got all the money. / got a
mortgage on the farm and then I
paid the balance and became the
owner. The money l pa d went to

"And what have the two farmers
got Mr.. Ward?"
Nothing. When we began the
case there were two we'll off farm
ers, two poor lawyers. Now there
are two poor farmers and two
well off lawyers.

Living Within Ones Means.

lHustrared horld.J
However limited our means mag
be, we shall be among the number of
the ttuly opulent if we live within
them, and live contentedly. The per-
petual ambition to be thought great
er than we are is a source of con-
tempt to those above us, of derision
TO those below, and Continual dis
comfort to ourselves. Nor can the
mesh thrown over Our circumstances
by the articles of vaiiity long deceive
any one-except, perhaps, a few
strangers, who are hardly worth de-
ceiving. Our means, as we'll as our
characters, will sooner or later be-
come known, in spite of any disguise
with which we may attempt to invest
them, and the detection in the use Of
the Instruments of deception only
shows that whatever gifts we may
have, we are at least deficient in hon
esty. The really rich, then, are not
merely persons of large means rela-
tlvely with the position they desire
to hold in society. 4 poor duke
would he rich artizan, simply be-
cause in the latter case there are not
the same demands for large expen-
diture. The same relation holds
through all classes of society so that
a man to become rich has only to
descend from the pedestal on which
his pride has exalted him and con.
form to the usages of less ambitions
mem OF all things in this wide
world pride is the most expensive
and every extiavagant habit acquired
just subtracts proportionate quan
tity Of wealth, and impoverishes the
| person who yields to it. Every mar
has the secret of becoming rich who
resolves to hive within his means
and independence is one of the mos
effectual safeguards of honesty.

Had to go OH.

In the panicky days of 1872, a
Baltimorean went to a trusted
friend and asked his advice in re-
gard to failing, and affecting a
cheap settlement with his credi-
tors.
"What are your liabilities?'
was asked.
"About $1,000.
"And your assets?
"Oh, fm worth about $4,000.
"And how much do you hope to
beat your creditors out of?
"Well, perhaps twelve hundred.
"My dear sir, you are next door
to a busines idiot! Where you
beat your creditors out of twelve
hundred the lawyers will beat you
out of twenty-four. You have
started altogether wrong. You
should be worth $1,000 and be in
debt $4,000. Let this be a sol
emn warming never do such a fool
ish thing again. No, sir, you can't
fail. Go back to the business and
paw dollar for dollar, and it will
serve you just right, too.
The dealer followed the advice
and it wasn't until last year that
he could bring failure sr6dnd
and settle for twelve eehss e1i the
dollar.

Don't BE Backward.

In giving advice to young men an
exchange says:
Young man, when you see any
thing you want, ask for it like man.
If you want to borrow five dollars of
a man, or you want to marry his
daughter, don't slip up to him and
hang on to your hat, talk politics, re-
ligion and weather, and tell old stale
jokes whereof you can't remember
the point, until you worry the man
into a nervous state of irritation.
Go to him with o full head of steam
on your bow ports open like an iron
clad pulling for shore battery.
Snort and paw and shake your head
if you feel like it, no matter if it does
make him astonished. Better aston
ish him than bore him. Go into his
heart, or his pocketbook, or both, it
amounts to the same thing, like
bridled bull with curl on his head,
charging a red merino dress, eyes on
fire, tail up and the dust flying,
then you'll fetch him, or postibly, he
may fetch you. But never mind;
you'll accomplish something and
show you aren't afraid to speak what's
on your mind. And that's a great
deal more than you would accomplish
by the other method. You needn't
be cheeky, bnt you ought to be
straight forward.

A FATAL DOSE.

Yesterday morning about 10
o'clock, Mr.. Derry entered the
drug store of Ingalls,, on Fourth
street, and asked for a two-ounce
vial of laudanum, saying it was
for his wife, and during its pur-
chase he asked if it was very
potent article, and if it would kill
a man. DR.. Ingalls, laughed and
told him it would kill half dozen,
little dreaming that the customer
would be within short while be-
yond the help of mortal man.
When Mr.. Derry went home he
sought his room, and not coming
out soon enough a member of the
family entered and found him in
an unconscious state, from which
he never recovered, and this morn
ing early he died. He has been a
citizen of Macon anumber OF years,
and was regarded as an exemplary
man, having been identified with
the church and its matters. He
was the father of st. James,
church of Augusta, and organized
its Sunday school. 1t is said of
him that he never refused church
