A STRING OF FISH.
Caistrbt From tl?e RnIlMln of the
I liiti'il Ntato^ S-'isSt Commission.
Fresh halibut is consumed in largt
quantities in the United States, and tlio
smoked lish is a very important article
os food. In Engiaad halibut is but little:
used. Gloucester has been sending ht:
vessels to Iceland for a number of years, j

in these northern seas. The Icelandei
apparently looks with wonder at the superiority
not only of the Gloucester vessels,
but at the excellence of their tish'ng
apparatus, Mr. Thorsteiuson. describ- j
ing a Gloucester schooner, writes that as
to construction, rigging, and sails, she
"could not be distinguished from an
English pleasure boat.1' The compari

SOU was CYIUeilUV iiiumv ww^..
trim American craft and the slovenly
English and French vessels. The Icelander
tells how we'll fed was the American
crew?"receiving fresh bread every j
day." As many as 7,000 tisli were caught j
last year by the Gloucester craft. These j
Northern halibut will weigh sometimes
300 pounds. As the halibut on the |
Grand Banks ave decreasing, the supply j
of the^e fish, it is probable, will be taken !
in the future from Icelardic waters.!
"When the Vikings first reached Iceland, j
using it as a stepping stone for the discovery
of shores not so far distant to the I
westward, couid they have ever fancied j
that a nee of men waul 1 have been born
who in their turn should start iiotn the
west and seek Iceland or.ee more?
American trout have been successively
introduced info Norway.
The well known action of carnivorous !
plants, living on the land, presupposes j
the existence of a similar fauna in the I
water. Land plaits catch insects,water
plants nsh. Both want nitrogenous
food, and take it where they can liud it.
A Mr. Simms, of Oxford, was the (irst to
direct attention to the Utricutaria vulgaris
which taught small ii*h, holding
them firmly between the valves of i
the bladders or this voracious plant. |

ItUCil-'li. l/(u tMil
the carnivorous plant he found these to
be but little developed. Itbccame, then,
a necessity for the existence of the plant
to find nutriment elsewhere. The same
parallelism is found in the piscivorous
water plants. '
Clams, undoubtedly of Atlantic origin. I
are now found on the Pacific coast. In j
1S09?70 oysters were taken from the Atlantic
to San Francisco bay. 1c is quite j
probable that Spat of the Mya were thus j
conveyed. Some adult clams were probably
taken to the coast of "Washington
Territory. Examinations of shell heaps
left by former races on the California
coast show no fragment of shell belong
ing to our common Atlantic clam.
If a ton of fish is equal in weight to
twenty-eight sheep, and the total catch j
of tish made by the United Kingdom, j
Canada, Russia and the United States
aggregates 1,00 >,000 tons, that is :d)o;it
in weight equivalent to about 28,000,000
sheep. As to the comparative value
of fish and animal flesh, there would be
more nutriment in the sheep. Still the
amount of food furnished by fish to man
is enormous. According to Mulhall, in
Europe and America 150,000 vessels
are employed in fishius, and between
600,000 and 700,000 men are employed.
The Philadelphia Press, writes: "English
economists maintain that the;
haphazard and improvident meth- j
ods of fishing are exhaust- j
ing the fish supply of that
country as surely as mining is exhausting |
the suddIv of coal. The supply of many ;
kinds of "fish is rapidly diminishing, ana
the only way to check the waste is by
a systematic study of the conditions
which regulate the supply. * * *
With the increased demand for food,
and with abundant evidence from other
countries of the result of neg'ect we
should rather increase than relax our
efforts to understand more about the
food, habits, spawning, and propagation
of our fish in rivers, lakes and the sea,
in order that the harvest may not grow
less as the demand becomes more urgent/'
When salmon was first canned on the j
"Pfir-itin sido in nrdnr to introduce the I
prepared salmon Mr. Hume used to fill
a basket w.th cans of salmon and give
them away. The mau who did this put
up last year some CO.000 cases of canncd j
salmon, each containing forty-eight one i
pound cans. In describing the fisher- j
men engaged in catching salmon the J
statement is made that the Finns, j
Swedes, Norwegians, and llussians are I
reliable and industrious fishermen, but i
that the Italians and Portuguese are not. ]
"When a#tisherman is intemperate he run3 1

a careless fisherman.
Mr. Worthiugion, United States con- '

stating that he is directed by the governor
to ask whether the United State,
will not furnish the Malta government
with information, and ''that such information
in regard to means of increasing
the supply of fish will be gratefully re- (

ANNUAL REPORTS.
What So:ne Branches of Government
Have Been Doing.
First Yearly Statement of the Governor
nP Alnslra.
VA **W* V *. <M.VVVMV?t
Governor A. P. Swineford, of Alaska, has
made his first annual report to the secretary
of the interior on tho condition of affairs in
that district. He arrived at Sitka on September
15 and was cordially received. The
report slates that several schools have been
established at ditleront points in the Territory
by the agent of the educational bureau,
and an increased appropriation is requested
for the oxtension of these schools. The children
are slid to manifest more than the average
aptitude for study, and the Aleuts are
especially anxious for the. establishment of
T.'V./vtioit e/*liru\Ta in t.hrtl'r midst.
A careful estimate of the population of
soutli.astern Alaska places the number of
whites at 1,000 and natives at 7,009. The
native Alaskans are said to be educated to
some extent in the elemintary branches, and
to be members of the Greek, Presbyterian
and Catholic churches. They are not Indians,
and difl'er in appearance, habit, lan- I
gua.^e and in other respects from the In- i
dians of the United Slates. The governor
dwells at length upon the great natural reAincl-n
and saverelv arraigns
OHJIVDO v.* , ? w
those government agents who have represented
the country as inclement to a degree
that precludes the cultivation of crops or th?
keeping of domestic animals. Nowhere, sayi
he, in his home travels, from Lake Superior
to the Griilf of Mexico, has he seen a more luxuriant
vegetation than in Southeastern
Alaska. The hardier vegetables all grow to
maturity and to enormous size, and the cattle
are sleek and in the best possible condition.

each three steamers inspected the year previous
to the steamboat law of 1S5'.
Itcvena0 .Harine Service,
The report of til? chief of the revenue marine
shows that the work of this service for
the past year compares favorably with that
of any former like period. The aggregate
numbar of miles cruise.l by its vessels during
the past year was oli, (]>'.). In enforcing the provisions
of law uui the protection of the
revenue 24,481 merchant vas^els were
boarde I and examined. This item
?f work varies from year to
year, being proportiona l generally to the activity
of ocean and lake commerce. Of this
number 1,4i5 vessels wore round violating
the law in some particular, und were either
seized or reported to the proper authorities.
The vessels so reported or seized incurred
liability to fines, penalties or forfeitures
amounting to a totai sum of $!K)4,51*>.55,
about two-thirds the cost of the service, which
last year amounted to $Sl9,8y7.
The Adjutant General.
Adjutant General Drum, in his annual report
to the secretary of war, invites atten

at the approaching se sion of Congress a
general act was passed providing
tor immediate exchange, when requested,
of all obsolete arms now in the hands of the
militia of the several States for improved
Springfield rides, caliber .15,and appropriate
ammunition therefor. He recommends that
non-commissioned officers and privates on
the retired list be paid a gross sum in money
in lieu of their present pay and commutation
oi'allowances, and he submits a table embodying
a proposition to pay them at rates
varying from per mouth for chief musicians
to $?y.00 for artificers.

FERDINAND WARD.
The Yoiiiis Financier Sentenced to
a JiOiij Ssnpri on meat.
Tho trial of i'er.iin uiil Ward, tiie young
Ntw York financier and lea ling spirit in tho
firm of Grant & Ward, having resulted in a
verdict of guilty, it remained for the judge
to impose the law's sentence upon
the prisoner. "Ward was convicted
partly upon the* evidence of Fish,ox-president
of the broken Marine b::uk, himself a convict.
Fish, it will be remembered, shared in
the profits resulting from Ward's iniquitous
financial operations,and when Grant & Ward
collapsed tho Marine bank was also compelled
to suspend. Ward receivc-d the full
sentence of the law. The judge's remarks in
sentencing Ward, were as follows:
"Mr. Ward, you have been convicted by
an intelligent anil conscientious jury of tho
crime of which you were charged. You certainly
had a perfectly impartial trial. Your
jury was most c-arofully selected and was
an ex.-e'lenb body of men. The court
fnmrdfi.l all vrtui' rierhts. as ifc holiuvws.
fairly, ancl you were convicted because
it was proved you had no defence. Tho charge
was abundantly proved, overwhelmingly
proved, and you ottered in substance no dofence
at all to the facts, the only matter for
conjecture was why so intelligent a jury
should have taken so long to deliberate about
so plainly proved and so absolutely disproved
a case. If your case had been that of a person
absolutely unknown I apprehend that on
such evidence the jury would scarcely have
loft their seats. So that it may be
said that you have not beon convicted
by reason of any popular clamor. On the
trial you have had the benefit of every assistance,
every possible and appropriate pains.
You were most skilfully and abl} defended,
every point that could be taken was taken in
your favor, and an address as brilliant in
eloquence and power as I have ever heard
was made in the opening of your case. You
were not convicted upojk popular clamor but
rather the jury, which was, as I have said, a
most intelligent and conscientious one, probably
delayed finding a verdict because they
feared that popular clamor might prejudice
thom. So that in place of popular clamor having
caused vour conviction it reallv tended to
render tbat conviction doubtful by reason of
a fear in tho breasts of the honest men who
tried you, a fear lest it might injure you. On
that suggestion alone can 1 conceive of their
having taken the time they did to arrive at a
verdict in the case. I have nothing to say to
you in the way of comment because
I think it would be wholly useless. You have
exhibited a certain insensiblity throughout
this trial tbat shows me you are
not repentent for the misdeeds that you hava
committed. I have not seen the first symptoms
of regret upon your part for the acts
which have brought down upon so many innocent
and good people poverty and shame.
You have done more probably than anyone
man ever did to undermine the confidence of
commercial peoplo in commercial dealings,
to cause and keep up a depression in business,
and generally to affect injuriously the
whole body politic. And yet you have maintained
the'same insensible demeanor throughout.
Under those circumstances it is idle
for me to ask you to repent and show some
c/tiTAiv 'Ptinf. Koino- cn T will simnlv imnftsft
the judgment of the law which is that you be
confined in State prison at bard labor "for a
period of ten years."
At the conclusion of the judge's remarks
Ward took his seat and buried his pale face
in his hands. He was very nervous and
rubbed liis eyes and brow convulsively, and
many expected to see him weep. In this
they were disappointed, for ho quickly recovered
his composure. Warden Kiernan
then got his release signed by the judge, and
as the audience arose to go Ward was conducted
out of a side door and taken back to
the Tombs. He was sent to Sing Sing prison
on the half-past two p. m. train.

A MONUMENT DESTROYED.
The Shaft Erected to Major Andre
Blown Up by Dynamite. 1
The Explosion Shakes the Ground ! for
Miles Around,
t
A third attempt, and tbi3 time a success- j
ful one, Las been made to destroy the monu- t
ment erected a few years ago to Major I
Andre, the British spy of Revolutionary '
times, by Cyras W. Field, at Tappan, N. Y. '
The report of the explosion, which occurred e
at about 10: oO p. 5L, was terrific. Tho earth *
for miles around trembled as though an
earthquake had shaken it. Several buildings (
in Closter, five miles to tho south, 1
had every pane of glas3 broken, dwell- ing
houses on the sloping sides \
of Hook mountain, two miles to j
the north, shook until the crockery in them
rattled like castanets, and there was not a j
building in Sparkill or Closter but suffered t
to a greater or less extent. A. peaceable far- t
mer who was quietly driving a stolid hors9 j
*n Blauveltville was startled so that he fell ,
out of his carriage and broke his arm, while |
his horse ran like mad for home. The 400 '
inhabitants of Tappan were all sound asleep '
when the shock came, and they awoke ,
in trembling houses amid the crash i
or smastung giass. iwo nuncirea
feet south of the monument is a large frame
house, occupied by Mr. K. Simons and his I
family. Mr. Simons was asleep -when tne i
shock awoke him. The house trembled liko
an aspen, forty panes of glass fell out of the
windows, and Mr. Simons saw his wife sitting
up in bed, staring about in a dazed,
heiplesi way. Before he fairly recovered
his senses his wife fainted,
and the entire household was in a turmoil of
excitement. Leaving his wife to the care of
tha women servants, Mr. Simons roused up
bis man-servant and ran with hhn out of the
house. His three dogs were barking and
howling in an agony of terror, and the j
twinKiingiignts ot a numoer or lanterns were
sesu coming through the field toward the J
monument.
The first man who reached the scene of the
explosion was Georgo Vanzilan, the brawny \
village blacksmith. Silenus Conklin, Isaac 1
and Thomas Parselle, and twenty other vil- 1
lager3 came trooping along behind him.
Huge pieces of granite were scattered all
over the field, and the rusty circular iron
railing which encloses the monument was
broken hero and there where the pieces of
granite hai been dashed through it. ]
There was not a person within a radius of
three miles of the place but knew that the
oxplodon meant the destruction, or the attempted
destruction, of tho monument. ExElosions
and the monument have somehow
ecome inseparably connected in the minds
! of tho people. None of the men who arrived
on the scene were surprised, therefore, '
to seo the obnoxious shaft topple-1
over, tuo base missing,
and a large portion of the brick foundation r
replaced by a big hole several feet in diameter,
and about fifteen inches deep. The monu- '
mont had been lifted off its foundation and <
toppied over in a southwesterly direction. (
The double foundation that had been shattered
at the last attempt at destruction had ?
been removed a month ago, and a single base (
a foot thick had been put under the monu- t
ment in its place. The work was finished
only a few days ago. This new bas9 was
forced by the explosion from underneath the
monument, and was distributed about the j
village in fragments. !
The monument was erected on the spot 1
where Andre was hanged. It is on the top of '
a liftMfl hill in an uncultivated field of four- (
teen acres, owned by Cyrus W. Field. The
field is unprotected by fences, and the only
1 buildings near it are Mr. Simons' house and
barn. The place has been much frequented
by strangers, and a well-worn wagon road
runs up from the public highway to the monument.
The first thing Mr. Simons saw when he
reached the railing that surrounded the
monument was a rope ladder that hung from
the peak of one of the iron bars on the
east side of the railing. It was about
four feet long and was made of two pieces
of small rope held together by
steps of thick twine. Mr. Simons
put the ladder in his pocket, and is guarding
it carefully in tha hope that it may lead to
discoveries. The explosive used was apparently
dynamite, as the force i ad a downward
tendency. The explosive was placed ou the
east side of the monument, opposite the spot
where the rope ladder was found. '
The monument was a shaft of gray granite '
standing on a base of the same stone. The '
four faces of the stone are rectangular, and E
are polished to within one aud a half inches
of the edges. From the ground to the apex
tUe height is seven feet, ana the stone was
nearly four feet thick. It weighed about
four tons. The western aide of tlio stone
bears this inscription:
" Here died, Oct. 2, 17S0, Major John Andre
of the British army, who entered the
American lines on a secret mission to Benedict
Arnold, was taken prisoner, tried, and
condemned as a spy. His death, though according
to the stern code of the law, moved
evon his enemies to pity, and both armies
mourned the fate of one so young and so bravo.
In 1S21 his remains were roaioved to Westminister
abbey. A hundred years after his
execution this stone was place ! above the
spot where he lay by a citizen of the States
against which ho fought, not to D?roetuate
the record of strife, but in token of those bettor
feelings which have since united two nations,
ono in race, in language, and in religion,
with the earnest hope that this friendly
uuion will never bo broken.
"Aiitiiur Penrhyn Stanley, 1
"Dean of Westminster."
On the southern face was this line from
Virgil's JEneid:
"Sunt lacrymoe rerum et mentum mortal
ia tangunt."
On the north side of the stone wore these
words of Washington's:
"He was more unfortunate than criminal;
an accomplished man and a gallant soldier."
On February 22, 1882, the monument was
hacked by George Hendrix, who died two i

British, were left on the stone by Hendrix.
On April 1 of the same year an attempt was
made to blow up the monument with nitroglycerine.
THE NATIONAL GAME.
A new Northwestern league is talked of
for 188(3.
Boston has but three batsmen in the first
thirty-eight; not so.iuany as New York has
in the first ten.
Collectively the Eastern clubs of the
National league were by far the best, and yet
fhn nannAnt want West.
St. Locis was the great whitewashed team
of the league. Sixteen times was tho unpleasant
coat applied.
There must be in the neighborhood of
$100,(.0.) lost annually in this country in professional
baseball ventures.
Hew York was the least whitewashed of
any of the league clubs, only two whitewashes
being sustained this season.
In the Amorican association the Western
clubs proved greatly superior to the Eastern
teams, and the pennant went whore it belonged.
The National, of Washington, is the only
professional club in the country that escaped
being blanked. The Nationals won 110 of the
145 games played during the season.
The longest league game was the fourteen
inning game won by Chicago from Providence;
the longest American was on April
'J4, when Pittsburg won from Cincinnati in
the sixteenth inning.
The St. Louis Browns, champions of the
American association, in their recent serie?
with the Chicago club, champions of the
National league, won three games on their
merits, while Chicago won but two, and an- c
other ended in a tie. s
During tho entire existence of tho National 1
league tho championship penant has only C
been held in three different cities. The present
year makes the fifth timo it has been
taken by the Chicagos. Boston has had it
throe times and Providence twice. j
A team of Northern professionals will visit c
New Orleans this winter under the captaincy i
of Carpenter, of the Cincinnati club, and in* (
eluding Mullano, Baldwin, Pechiney, McPhee t
and Jones of that club; Hanlon, Thompson t
and MoGuiro of tha Dctroits, and Ewing of j
the New Yorks. j
