throughout the South there is com

market, and in Augusta, there is,
comparatively speaking, greater
scarcity than in Grcenvilc. Most
OF the cotton is said to be shipped
North to spectators, and has gone
out OF the South. Mr.. Sanford
predicts a cotton famine in this
section and thinks that some of
the Southern mills will have great
difficulty in getting hold Of
enough cotton to feed them until
September. He thinks that the
scarcity Of the low grade Of cotton

HOW FISH ARE SPREAD.

BY preconceived notion of what should be

Perhaps originally this was true of our

range of specific variation that has ultimate.
ly come about; but no river could retain
all the species TINT originated in it, There
are too many possible ways by which fish
can be safely transported long distances for
us TO assert that none Of them have operated
in stocking q neighboring stream with
species not native and to the manor born.
There is undoubted evidence on record of
whirlwinds gathering up immense numbers
Of minute fish and landing them miles away.
These showers Of fishes, frogs, and even
ouihiutilueib are flOt unknOWn, even II tfey
are uncommon /; and strange would it be il
all such wind transported species should
fall upon dry ground, and never into the
water. Fortified eggs, too, can likewise
be blown long distance even oyer low
ranges of hills which sometimes separate
river valleys, and SO give rise to a race of
fishes that previously were unknown in the
locality. Eggs, too, might readily adhere
TO the mud that often clings to the feet of
wading birGz, and would thus be gently re.
placed in distant river, miles away from
that in which they were deposited by the
parent fish. The present extensive system
Of canals also has tended to mingie the
ichthyic faunas of our various river Systems.
And when all these possible, probable and
actual conditions are considered 1t need
excite no wonder il in any one of our rivers
or its tributaries we now find occasional
individuals of unsupported species.

LEE IN URUGUAY.

Uruguay has delightful climate, temper
ate and pleasant. The mercury does noa
rise above eighty-fve degrees. The climate
is salubrious and the people are subject to
no disease in particular. There are thirty.
four Americans in Uruguay. The natives
are remarkable for their refinement and in
teiligence. They have large number Of
good schools and colleges. The revenue of
the country is $1,000, 900. Their exports
amount to 81, 400, 900 and their imports &c
100000. Twenty steamers day enter
and depart from the port at Monteyideo.
The people are engaged largely in manu-
maturing and cattle herding. Half mil
lion dollars worth of cattle are killed each
year for the hides. II is strange thing,
but the people there will not use mare in
any way. The street railway company put
them before the cars and the people refuse
to ride in the cars. Fine animals of this
KIND, which would sell here for $50, are
sold there for IS and killed for their hides,
The natives are enterprising and progress
ave. Ten years ago they imported all n
their wheat; to-day they export 400 900
bushels of their own production. Uruguay
is a beautiful, blooming country, and its
scenery Is source of perpetual delights to

STANDING ON PLYMOUTH ROCK.

Never had stood on more honored soil.
The landscape, viewed from every point Of
interest, gave the keen impression Of its
original aspect. New England seldom clothes
herself anew. We were at Duxbury, eight
miles up the bay. Going down TO Plymouth
one glorious morning--oh, how the sun
shines and the sweet sea breezes blow in
Massachusetts, I've were merry party
After leaving the depot our first quest was
Pilgrim Hall, in which Is collected the relics
Of the colony. 1t is fine stone building,
with u Grecian portico adorned with O life
size bas-relief representing the landing of
the Pilgrims. Immediately outside the hall,
engraved on quaint slab, Is the compact
signed by the passengers of the MayHower,
displaying earnest zeal, love and devotion
to the King of England. Three large pic
lures hang on the walls OF the hail., de.
scriptiye of the embarkation and landing.
In glass cases are various relics, swords and
candles, purses, gems, rings, various deeds,
records, and other manuscripts, curious and
interesting, as displaying signatures of
Miles Standish, John Alden, William Brad
ford and others. A candle, several chairs,
and cabinets of goodly shape and substance
are also preserved. From the hall we walked
to the old buryipg-ground on Burial Hill,
whore the site of the watch tower is indi.
Gated by four granite posts. A grand view
of ocean and shore We had there, and the
dense masses of foliage and patches OF
housetop at our feet. Then, wandering
about, we read the scarcely legibie, rude
Inscriptions on the stones, which were made
of slate, and hid been capped with zinc TO
prevent decay. At the foot Of the hill stands
the church mentioned previously, on the
site of the first church. - Correspondence

1t must be borne in mind that an enor.

1l,000 oficeholders in Washington only
about ninety receive above $1,000 year.
The inferior employees are overpaid and the
superior employees underpaid. One of the
greatest drawbacks to putting young men
in these government Offices is that the work

MECHANICS OF GENERALS.

From an article by George f. Williams,
the well-known war correspondent, on
Lights and Shadows of Army Life" in
the Century we quote the following
Every general of prominence had
nickname bestowed upon him by his troops.
Some of these names were of sarcastic
nature, but usually they indicated the conf
dence of the men in their leaders or their
Haaniration Tor them. General 0rant was
commonly known over the watch-fres in
the Army of the Potomac as Old United
States, from the initials of his name, but
sometimes he was called Old Three Stars
TINT number indicating his rank as leuten-
ant-general. Mcclellan was endeared to his
army as Little Mac Meade, who wore
spectacles, was delighted to learn that the
soldiers had named him Four-eyed
George for he knew it was not intended as
reproach. Burnside, the colonel of the
First Rhode Island regiment, rose to the
dignity of Rhody when he became a gen.
eral. Hooker never liked the sobriquet of
Fighting Joe,' though he always lived up
to it during his career in the field. Pope
was saddled with the title of Saddle-bag
john in memory of his famous order about
headquarters being on horseback. His
men used to say that their head quarters
moved pretty rapidly at times Sigel the
German general, was known in the other
corps as Dutchy.' Hancock won the brevet
of Superb, from q remark made by Gen.
eral Meade at Gettysburg, when the Second
Corps repulsed Longstreets men. Hum
phrey, being distinguished engineer, was
invariably styled Old Mathematics The
Pennsylvania Reserves used to call Craw-
ford Physics he being surgeon at the
beginning of his military career. Logan,
with his long black hair and dark complex
ion, was Black Jack with his men. Sheri-
dan, the cavalry leader, was Little PHIL
and Sherman's troops spoke of him as Old
Tecumseh. The sterling nature and stead
fast purpose Of Thomas earned for him the
significant and familiar name of Old Relia.

Hooker, was called q Fighting McCook.
The New York City regiments in the Fifth
Corps changed Sykes to Syksey.' !, Halleck
was derisively nicknamed old Brains and
Rosencrans had his named shortened to
Rosey.' Lew Wallace was Louisa to the
soldiers under his command he was a great
favorite for his fighting qualities, aud the
soldiers adopted that inappropriate name
for want of better. Kearney, who had left
an arm in Mexico, was invariably known in
the ranks as One-armed Phil Butler was
styled Cockeye,' for obvious reasons. Xii.
patrick was nicknained KILL while Custer
was called Ringlets, on account of his
long, flowing curls and so the catalogue
might be prolonged indefinitely. s,..,ol
Among the Confederates familiar nick
