According TO the st. Louis Globe
Democrat u tiend in human gui>e has
invented an electrical alarm that will
run for two hours after getting started
unless lis VICTIM gets out of bed and
turns il off. The Old-fashioned alarm.
clock would run five minutes or so
and then a maj could turn over and
go to sleep again. 1t allowed lis
owner to set it at night and then
change his mind in the morning
But the new device is memorable.
The man who sets it must get up at
the hour specified, unless he has pre-
viouslv died in his sleep. A WELL
known principle of ancient justice
should be applied 10 its inventor. lie
should be compelled 10 have one of
his own clocks setting at his bedside
every night, set for 4 o'clock in the
morning.

Judging from its papers, we cannot
help but believe that Murphysboro,
over in Illinois, lisa sorry town. They
have two daily papers there but they
are mighty poor excuse for papers,
and a glance al their advertising col
umns reveals the fact that they are
starving to death by degrees. We
would as soon think of starting an
ice-house in hell as to run a daily
paper in MurDhysboro.

Voters will find after awhile that
they cannot fool with women. Out
in Southwest Missouri a woman ran
for School Commissioner and was
credited with but six votes by the
Judges of Election. Then she offered
a reward of fifty dollars if the men
who voted for her would reveal their
names. Just 7S9 men answered the
advertisement. and now she swears
she will contest the election if she has
to prove that halt the men in the
country are liars.

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS
THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, April lip. N.
BY the operations of the New-York Sub-Treasury
in the week ended last night, which included the
receipt Of $6S5,5O0 for payment at other points,
the associated banks gained Sl,S0s.272. The
weekly bank statement. published to-day, showed
loss in cash of $65s,200. Although the previous
one was made falling averages the present state
ment proved that there has been no material change
in the outflow of money to the interior. As the
exports of specie by to-day's steamers counted for
less than $780, 900 in the statement of averages,
the actual condition Of the banks must be poorer
by at least 100000 than the published exhibit.
The statement in all its details was unusually con-
sistent. The changes resulted in loss Of $777-
OPS in the surplus reserve, but the banks still
hold S5,612,050 in excess Of legal requirements,
against S452,400 a year ago. S6,O65,550 in the
preceding year. and S1O,s7o,425 at the correspond

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
The stock market was moderately active, de-
Ginning in the early dealings and afterward rally
ing. The first movement was partly due to the
exports of specie, and still more 10 the heavy
Withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England
and the unconfrmed rumors that It's discount
rate would probably be advanced on Monday
rather abrupt. if not large, decline in the price
Of British cOnsols lent color to the reports pun
the evident buying Of stocks for foreign account
was solid argument on the other side. mike
previous purchases recently, these were principally
for the long account, and, while the STOCKS may
be carried here instead OF being shipped to Europe
the mere fact of the buying was proof OF the
foreign confidence in our securities. The Closing
rally which was started by the persistent foreign
buying, was stimulated by the publication OF
bank statement that vastly more favorable
than had been expected. The early losses were
nearly recovered, and st. Paul, which regamed
the leadership, closed at a slight advance Atchl-
son was heavy, and even at the close showed NIUE

again strong and confident

AT THE FISH cANNERlEs.
4 Description of the Wheels with Which
 the Fish Are Caught.

the Fish Are Caught.
 When on the Columbia river last sum- mer, writes a correspondent Of the Chi cago Inter Ocean, saw those wonder ful fish wheels by which the fine sal mon of that magnificent river are ta,1en. One, wEicli I examined partic- ularly while in operation, was thirty six feet in diameter, with the other measurements in proportion. It was permanently placed in its settings near the shore, with 9 sort Of fence running from it and widening out into the stream below, so Gs to compel the fish from quite Q width Of the river to come that way. The current, Of course, turns the wheel, which s So seivoa with wire that when the mighty paddles go down any thing Cf size that comes that way is at once lifted out or the water.
 Now the salmon is no 'happy-gO- casy' fish. It will not feat with the current, but, instead, ever goes against it. sometimes, too, at the rate Of twenty miles Gn hour. So, drawn in by this fence incl0sure, battling wi5h a five or six-rniIs current they rush into the wire cages of this revolving wheel and are lifted out Of the water. This wheel is so arranged with troughs on a slant be- tween the paddles that the fish are dropped into q large tank, through the apertures Of which the water runs free ly. And this tank is so fixed with pull leys that whenever desired 1t can be lifted above the river, and the water immediately running out the fish are readily killed and then taken in boat loads to the canning factory.
 There are several of these wheels to each factory. And looking into one of these factories I saw large room, pos sibly forty feet square, covered Q foot or two deep with fish, waiting patiently to be put through the necessary pro- cesses and get safely housed ia cans.
 With ono Of these wheels, 50 l was told by boss fisherman, they took out last spring, in twenty-four hours, 102,- O01 pounds. When l was there the best of the season was passed, but even then they were doing Q lively business. One salmon then taken would measure about four feet in length, but the most of them that were being Hoped over would weigh from five to twenty pounds. The smaller ones they do not desire, and so the sieves on the wheel are made sufficiently coarse to let them through, and they fell back into the current to be picked up again some future day when grown to respectable and paying size.
 There were pointed out to me several varieties of the salmon, some of which, for instance the dog" and white" are either discarded altogether, or traded off for trinkcts to the Indians But, when not being watched, the terIpta- tion must be considerable to make good market of them all. The ''blue-blaclz'' and the dark and spotted varieties have the finest grain and flavor. and So are the most prized. But many a salmon that is eaten and reIished in Chicago would not be served in Portland. But since all can not live in Oregon, it is well that with this dish people are not over dainty, for when ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" -a

TIE ZAMEESI RIVER.
1t Has Been Found Eav,gable by Large Ocean Vessels

1t Ha9 Been Found Havigabie by Large E. Ocean Vessels.
 ! It has long been known that the Eam- be6i river is the third Or fourth largest river in Africa. In it's central and up per portions, however, it can not be nav igated on account Of rapids and falls. Its lower course, also has not been available for navigation from the sea, because as far as was known not one of the streams which form it's delta could be navigGted by a seaGoing vessel. Two years ago Mir. Daniel Rankin surprised geographers by reporting that the Chinde mouth of the Zambesi could be traversed at all states of the tide by ocean vessels. The news was received with considerable iacredulity, says the New York Sun, but Rankin was known to be 8 careful man, and his report upon his discovery was exhaustive and seemed to be conclusive. He surveyed the Chinde river and his map was widely published.
 On the recent expedition of + II. Johnston he proved the accuracy of Rankin's report. He ascended the Chinde mouth of the ZaI1besi in a steamer drawing thirteen feet Of water and had no difficulty at all in reaching the main river Her 1Iaiesty's ship Stork, il which he made this journey, Is certainly the largest vessel that has yet been on the Zarnbesi. He left the Stork when she had steamed forty miles uQ the river. as 1t was not deemed ad- visable to take her beyond the tidal in- fiuenCe. The rest of his journey up the Zambesi and Shiri rivers was made in small boats.
 The old route to the Shi1i was along the QUaqua river from Quilirnane, q journey requiring several days of tedious travel in canoes until they reached Mo nea, where the Quaqua is separated from the Zambesi by three miles of flat and swamp. 1t this point all the goods had to be carried overland to the zam- bezi, involving 9 great deal of work.
 Now, Mir. Johnston says, the trip which formerly required seven days from the sea to the mouth of the Shiri river can be made by steamer on the Chinde and Zambesi in three days, and small ocean-going vessels can travel from Europe and penetrate Africa for considerable distance in this direction. It has therefore been discovered that the Zambesi will be more useful to com meTce than was supposed.
