The Caitif Catfish.

From the London Saturday Reylew.I
 Our institutions are indeed being Ameri- canized. In some respects Britannia capta has even outrun it's conqueror, and it is possible, though we hope improbable, that the land of the New York Herald may have to complain of the angEcizing of her news papers. But from one American institution our country is free-long may it be untouch- ed by the invader! It seems almost incred- ible that anyone should wish to introduce the accursed catfish to our native shores
 Yet we read, with horror, that "a consign- ment of catfish has been received by the National Fish Culture association from the fish commission of the United States' Is America to be allowed to export the paupers add criminals of her brooks and rivers into our innocent wateIs2 If mere sport is the object of the National Fish Culture associa- tion, perhaps they intend to set a dogfsh at the catfish, and enjoy the brutal pleasures of one-slded conflict The council, according to the Field, twill not introduce these or any strange fish into English waters without full knowledge or consideration This sounds too like MT. Gladstone's reserves about the House of Lords. The council will think twice, or even thrice, before introducing cat fish. Perish the thought One might as well say that cholera, or pellagra, or the plagua, or the Colorado beetle, or the man. eating tiger will not be introduced s'without full knowledge and consideration , In the first place, almost all of these ac.

climatizations are errors. People in charge of our rivers should be like hostesses who Hdon't introduce" Where trout exist you can do nothing but harm by bringing in par venus. Some lunatics brought in pike in certain Scotch waters. The consequence is that trout are like the Pal@olithic peoples after an irruption of men in the bronze age that is to say, all but exterminated. Even grayling should be left where they are na- tives. They have come into the Clyde. where they are despised and detested, more or less, by the Caledonians, who, indeed, despite their hospitality, rarely receive such strang CTS gladly. And grayling, the fine ladies of the waters, are not to be compared to the hldeous, voracious, plebeian, un-English cat hsh, whose very name condemns it. Even birds, beasts and insects comparatively harm less at home-sparrows, rabbits, and so forth do inestimable mischief when planted in America, Australia, New Zealand. The catfish, the white catfish, is desperately ugly, "a garbage eating button-feeder, ill-looking, of no consideration in the matter of sport, and not worthy of introducing where it would eat up the food of our own fshes," and probably eat up our own fishes well. From passing notice in f'Huckleberry Finn, we guess that the catfish may grow to the size of man of middle height. If this be so, even bathing would be unsafe in rivers in fested by catfish. From NIT. Frank Stock toms account, in 'ERudder Grange" of the Gtat'bdFe oI A cs&btlSH, we lA1eE btldt tue HUI dent resembles the catching of tartar. Of course, if the brute does not rise to fly, it will cause less annoyance to anglers of the right sort; but over here it might change it's habits and acquire passion for black gnats or March browns. As to it's edible qualities, the catfish is said to resemble the eel and that is saying enough. We have a sufficien- cy of eels, and need not reinforce our flood stuffs' with catfish. At present they are curiosities on view;" we wish that they could be exhibited stuffed. Perhaps a pair of cat fish may escape from South Kensington through the waters with floating electric lights, may reach serpentine, may invade the river, may push their way into the Bennett, the Wandle, and so forth, and finally the kitten fish of the species may even get into the Tweed, and the melancholy moving of the catfish will be heard where the swan on sweet St. Mary's Loch pitches into the angler. There is, were it wanted, another proof of the folly of those acclimatizations. Because Wordsworth put 8 property swan on st. Mary's impracticable real swans have been introduced and, like the catfish, they are distinguished nuisances.

CLEVELAND AND THE SOUTH. What effect will tha Democratic admin

CLEVELAND AND THE SOUTH.
 What effect will the Democratic admins tration have upon politics in the South, is one of the most interesting questions now before the country. Some wise and far-see- ing gentlemen believe that it will do much to impair the ''solidity' of the South, and there is already some ground for thinking that these gentlemen may be right.
 The Presidents attitude toward the South, or, perhaps it would be more proper to say, toward the ofice-seekers of the South, has not been such ss to please very large ele- ment of the southern Democracy. The party workers, who were waiting to swoop down upon the offices and get as much they could in the scramble, are disappointed and out of humor. In some cases, remarkably that of Louisiana, the minority faction of the party has been recognized to the utter exclu- sion of the great body of the practical poli- ticians, who have been peddling ballots and doing the work at the polls; but the offices, it is said, have gone as 8 general thing to men against whom no objection could be urged, and the hand of the administration has been extended to strengthen the con- servatiye Democrats who are seeking to puri- fly politics throughout the South. In most cases the local federal offices have been turned over to the Democrats, but not to the craftsmen" !" to be used as political tools. It is believed that this has given the people of that section confidence in the ad- ministration, and it is declared that this is particularly the case with the colored people, who find instead of the "bulldozsrs'' they expected, that the men they respect most are being put into power; but it divides the party, and it is expected that the factions will soon begin fighting for supremacy.
 This is an encouraging view to take and there may be some truth in it. We do not imagine, however, that southern whites will divide much until they cease to fear negro supremacy. They may use strong language about the distribution of offices, but when it comes to voting they will probably be solid for some time to come. When the negroes divide the whites may also
