Young man with the keen blue eye- i
Clear and bold,
Why, as thou dust fare.
With 50 searching air
Scannest thou each face thou dust behold,
Each small flower, faint-colered like skies.
Growing BY the wayq Why gazest thou
Ger the round hills browl
s.Ah, in every bearded face,
Looking deep,
Ny hearts friend seek 1:
In each maiden shy
Ny hearts dearest, dreamed upon in sleep;
And in each fair flower hope I trace;
And the hin may hide the flashing sea
That doth call to mel''
Old man with the pale blue eyes,
Mid and clear,
Why, as thou dost fare,
With thht pondering air,
Into passing faces dost thou peera
Why dost pause where dim, like autumn skies
Starry asters grows Why gazest thou
Ger the round hills brow!
''Ah, from each gray-bearded face
Would know
What that heart hath POUNDS
And in youths that bound
See youth that vanished long ago;
In each flower memory can trace:
Ger the hin the green, still plac. be
That doth wait for me-

4 Fish Breeding Establishment.

A. gentleman named Howeittoun has
the largest fish breeding establishment
in Great Britain, if not in the world.
1t was commenced ten years ago with
stock of about fifty breeding fish. 1t
contains more than 10000 breeding,
800, 900 small fry, and 5000, 600 eggs
in process of Matching The breeding
establishment covers eleven acres The
ponds are situated in an Enclosure that
is very beautifully terraced, the turf be-
tween the ponds being kept in the con-
dition of a lawn Stock fish are kept
outsie.e this place in artificial ponds and
streams that are carefully guarded. From
an elevated summer house, located in
the centre of. the establishment. every
portion of it may be SEEN 1t is planned
with an eye to beauty as well as to util-
ity and profit. Each ponds supplied with
spring water, and is so arranged that all
the water may be drawn from it at any
time it is desirable to do so. The large
fish are fed during a portion of the year
on a species of coarse fish that is of no
value as food for man. The food of
the little iish consists principally of
horse flesh, which is cut into small pieces
and pounded. One pound per day is re
quired for three hundred fish. All the
fish are very tame. The appearance of a
person on the bank causes them to come
around the spot by thousands. A wave
denotes their advance. The fish will dart
at meat held in the hand, and will often
bite the fingers. The establishment pro-
vides o market for all the old horses
within many miles. The cost Of the es-
adjustment was over $50, 600, but it pays
ten per cent. on the investment. The
proprietor thinks he could now construct
an establishment equally good for half
the money this one cost. In that event
it would pay dividend of twenty per
cent. The fish bred are different varifies
Of salmon and trout. None are raised
for the table. They are solely for the
purpose Of stocking ponds. Some have
been sent to Australia and New Zealand.
The demand is so good for the fish that
the proprietor Of this establishment pro-
poses to start another on a still more ex-
tensive scale. Since the fisheries exhi-
bition in London, last season, there has
been great interest in fish breeding. not
only in Great Britain, but in most of the
countries on the continent Of Europe.

The following incident occurred dur
ing the early days of the California gold
fields, and is characteristic of the state
of things that existed among the diggers
at that time A miner had died in a
mountain digging, and, as he was much
respected, his acquaintance resolved to
give him square funeral" instead of
putting the body in the usual way into
a roughly made hole, and saying, by way
of funeral service, THAR goes another
bully boy under!' They sought the SER
vices of miner who bore the reputation
of having, at one time of his career, been
ga powerful preacher in the States. =
And then, Far Western fashion, they all
kneit down while the extemporized pastor
delivered q prodigiously long prayer
The miners, tired of this unaccustomed
opiate, to while away the time, began,
digger fashion, lingering the earth that
had been taken from the grave. Grad
ually looks were exchanged, Whispering
commenced and increased, until it be-
came loud enough to attract the atten-
ton of their parson. He opened his
eyes and stared at the whispering miners.
What is it, boysg"r Then. as suddenly
his eyes lighted on sparkling scales of
gold, he shouted, Gold, by jingo! And
the richest kind o. diggin' The congre-
cation is dismissed ~ Instantly every
man began to prospect the new digging,
the parson not being the least active Of
the number. The body had to be buried
elsewhere; but the memory of the incl
dent lived from the name given to the
locality. for Dead Mans Gulch be-
came one of the richest gold fields in all

One day the little town of Schwalbach
suddenly became all astir, and from our
windows we saw the flags of State and
duchy and town and church fying-a
remarkable variety of banners. 1t was
great fete day in Schwalbach; the bishop
was coming to town for the first time in
ten years. We, too, impr0vised the col
0rs of our land and flung them boldly
from our windows. though we were not
Ronanists, and it was noticeable that
the Protestant windows were dead set
against all this festivity. But we be-
longed to the Holy Catholic Church I'm

procession TO meet and bring in the good
bishop from the edge OF the town, where
he alighted from his carriage, we Joined

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

An engraver at Versailles, whose name
Is not given, is said to affirm that he has
discovered method for taking photo
graphs in colors, being able thus TO re-
produce the colors of the individual or
landscape photographed.
PAPER barometers were first introduced
from Paris, and can be made by soaking
the paper in solution of chloride of CO
bait. It then becomes Microscopic. Ii
it is now exposed to current of air it
will change from blue to pink, according
as the air becomes moist, regaining the
blue As the moisture decreases.
Tho amount of carbonic acid generated
by lights is thus represented: electric
lights, none; argand gas-burner, .46;
fat-fame petroleum, .95; colza-oil light,
l.; paraffine candle, 1872: and tallow
candle, 1.45. 1t has been remarked that
the talIow candle, the oldest artificial
light, is not only the hottest but the
most unhealthy.
The plan OF using the enormous water
power Of the Alps for working electric
railways in Switzerland is about
to take definite shape, the idea being
to connect the towns of st. Moritz and
Pontresina by an electric railway four
and three-quarter miles long, the motive
power to be supplied by the mountain
streams; the line, in case the plan proves
a success, to be extended a considerable
distance.
While the eucalyptus or Australian
blue-gum tree destroys malaria and keeps
off mosquitoes in marshy soil, it has no
such effect upon dry soils. The differ
ence is ascribed by German scientist to
the fact that the tree is constructed to
act as an evaporating machine, and only
does its work in marshy land. A feature
of the tree is its adaptability to different
climates, it being now grown in almost
every civilized country where frosts do
not occur.

farm seven miles north of this
place. The crime was one of the
most cOldbloOded ever known IN

chopping their heads open with an
axe, his object being to obtain money
to support his mistress. He secured
500 and a silver watch. The mul"
der was not discovered for two days.
johnson was arrested and tried here
last February, and convicted on
purely circumstantial evidence, but
he has since confessed. When the
death warrant wss resd to him he

to send troops. Turkey on Tuesday
signified her acceptance of this pro-
posi- ton. 1t is not clear how the
