 The unknown member of the fnny tribe is not unlike a small trout, very plump and very tender, with few bones, and those large.

In Iss0@9O there were 7O4,743 railroad
employees in the United States, of which
number 1872 were killed and 2O,O2S were
wounded in accidents. In coupling trains
800 men were reported killed, owing large
" TO the defects of the "couplers in use.
Of s54, O3l freight-oars but 1854 have au-
tomato couplers, and few Of these seem to
be of any great value.
A partial remedy would seem to be to re-
quIre the railroad companies TO have the
bumpers on their cars at such distance
apart as to give space between them for
the body of a man. True this would
throw the weight of cars when they butt
together wholly upon the coupling fix
lures, but it would be better to do this
than TO go on killing brakemen at the
present rate.

Messrs. HAMILTON & Co., of Baltimore,
have begun to make predictions as to what
sort of financial legislation will be the
work Of the Congress soon to meet. Well,
we shall all SEQ what we shall see. But
what with O Republican President and a
Democratic House Of Representatives-the
former opposed TO the latter whenever
financial questions come up for considera-
tion-we do not think that the prospect is
good for getting those questions out OF
the way of the two candidates for Presi-
dent of the United States soon to be nomi-
mated by the two great parties of the
country. The probability is that each
party will endeavor to embarrass the
other. How this object is to be accom-
pllshed, however, we are not wise enough
nor prophet enough to foretell.
