THE COD.

The cod is an inhabitant of northern
waters, being found in the Arctic seas and in
all the northern parts of the Atlantic ocean,
both on rocky coasts and on sand banks
where the largest fish are sometimes caught
The productiTeuess Of the great banks Of
Newfoundland excels that of all others, though
the cod fisheries of Sweden, Ireland and the
north of Scotland are also important. The
fishery is carried on by means of lines and
hooks, the lines being in general very long.
The writer has seen a cod line baited and
ready for use in a fishing village near Edin-
burgh, 800 hooks being on the line placed at
intervals Of about one foot from each other
To prevent the line getting tangled, as it was
baited it was nicely coled round With guam
titles of fresh grass strewn between each
coil. The gathering of this grass was the
duty of very small fishers, children of about
years old; the older children gathered the
shell fish for bait.
The cod is very voracious, swallowing
smaller fishes whole. Strange articles, such
as a gold watch, a lady's ring, etc., have
been found in the stomach of this fish. The
cod is used as food, either fresh, salted or
dried. Great quantities of dried cod are
carried from Newfoundland to the West
Indies. and are consumed also in the Roman
Catholic countries of South Europe. The
discovery within late years Of the medicinal
value of cod liver oil has added greatly to the
Importance of this fish. Cod liver oil is pre-
pared largely in Britain, Norway and New
foundland.

Two Remarkable Parrots.

Socorro, New Mexico, boasts of two par
rots, gifted with more than ordinary intelli-
gence. Golden Days tells how one of these
parrots sings to the accompaniment Of a
piano. A party of friends were recently
gathered at the residence of the young lady
who owns the parrot, and there the parrot
was brought into prominence. The bird, as
soon as it was brought into the room, COM
menced to whistle a popular tune. After
whistling this tune three times over, one of
the company suggested that the tune be
changed, whereupon the parrot stopped
quickly, and, turning on the young man,
cried "ChestnutsI'' The young lady then
began to play on the piano, and the bird,
after listening awhile, ruffled up the feathers
on his head and sang " TheLast Rose of Sum-
mer" and "Home Sweet Home" The voice
was rather too shrill to sound pleasant, but
the words could be distinctly heard. The
rival parrot of Socorro is owned by hotel
keeper He perches in front of the hotel, on a
high pole, and sings "Molly Darling" about
half his waking hours. He also has an ex-
tensive vocabulary, and can repeat long SEN
fences after several hearings. Both these
parrots are from southern Mexico and are

Why Was Madison Ignored?
HUNTSVILLE, ALA,
MARCH 10th, 1889

Editor Gazette:
| see your Decatur correspondent
in your last issne, in his notice of the
Gooloe invited meeting, says. such
republicans as Hendley, Binford and
Wallace were conspicuous for their
absence. May it not be possible
that The Hon. Goodloe did not see
fit to invite them? He says that Mr..
Goodloe sent the invitations in blank
form to the chairmen of each county
and allowed them to send to whom
they pleased. This is not true so far as
Madison county is concerned. Mr..
Il. G. Binford is our chairman and
he recived no invitation of any kind.
Why did he thus ignore Madison?
Possibly it is because it was the only
Republican county in November
last.

THE WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL.
Program of the Naval Display in New York
on April 3Oth,

| on April 3Oth.
NEW YORK, March 22.-New York
harbor will present a picture on April
3Oth that. for panoramic beauty, will
surpass anything of the kind in the his
tory of America. The details of the
grand naval procession on that day,
when President Harrison will come from
Ellzabethport, N. j., over the route
taken by George Washington when on
his way to this city, just one hundred
years ago, to be inaugurated as the first
president Of the United States, have
| nearly been completed. Every availa-
BILE warship in the navy will participate
IN the demonstration. 1t cannot be de-
termined until the last minute how
many of them will be on hand.
The police boats, with banners flying,
will fit around over the bay and keep
the broad, smooth water perfectly clear
OF vesstls of every description, except
those which will belong to the lotilla.
The warships will be dressed as If for
fancy ball. Their yard arms will be
squared, their brass work will glisten in
the sunlight; long flag halyards will be
bedecked with gray colored ensigns, the
stays will be adorned with futtering
colors, and the American flag will float
in the breei from every point.
The noble looking vessels will form in
line just off Robbins reef, extending to-
ward Castle Garden. Opposite to them,
oil st. George, nearly two hundred
steam yachts IN double file will form in
line. Every conceivable color of the
rainbow will be floating from their
masts and stays, and hundreds Of uni
formed men will be seen upon the decks
and in the rigging. This, the largest
feet of yachts that has ever come to-
gether, will extend toward Governors
island. The yachts and war ships will
form an avenue through which the pres
ident will pass.
Every available excursion boat, tug,
steamer and sail Loaf has been chartered
for the occasion. These boats will form
below an imaginary line OFF Staten
island, and will not be allowed to cross
over until the president has gone through
the avenue of ships. All of these boats
will be almost smothered by thousands
of gay tags, long colored streamers and
bunting. The s. enc as it will be viewed
from the atue OF liberty, which will be
draped with the American flag, will re-
semble fairy sea of huge birds of most
beautiful plumage.
