V ... ^ Stocking1 Onr Rivers and Lakes. 1i ! i i Prospect of an Abundance of the most Delicious Fish, the Salmon. 1 It is well known that not a great many years ago the rivers of New England and ; tributaries of Lake Champlain and ] Lake Ontario abounded with salmon, , during the proper season of the year, , to such an extent that apprentices, pau- , pers iu workiiouses, and others objected . to being fed with them more than three times a week. From the St. Croix to the Connecticut, inclusive, on the seaboard, the numbers of salmon were \erj great, and they were but little less common in the lakes just mentioned. At ! tho present time the case is very different, the only United States waters where salmon occur being a few streams in Maine. The causes of their partial extermination are to be found in the erection of impassable dams, which cut them off from access to their spawningbeds ; in the discharge of sawdust into the streams, Dy wmcu meir eggs, ?ucu laid, are covered tip ; in indiscriminate capture at improper times, &c. Similar experience abroad as to the reduction in numbers of this valuable tish, and the desire to restore it to its original abundance, especially in view of its commercial and economical value, led to experiments for its restoration, and with such success as greatly to stimulate effort throughout Europe. More recently the subject has attracted attention in this country, and for some years past the Fish Commissioners of all the New England States have been earnest in their endeavors to renew the supply. Their first efforts were directed to the gathering of eggs in the rivers of New Brunswick, and were not very successful. They then applied to the authorities of the Canadian Salmon Breeding Establishment, at Newcastle, not far from Toronto, and succeeded in procuring a few thousands, at a cost of ?40 per thousand in gold, a price wl io'j prevented their securing a large supply, or one sufficient to make a satisfactory experiment. As may be readily imagined, the young salmon when hatched and placed in the water are liable to be devoured l?y their fellow, inhabitants, . and it is only after these have taken their toll that a surplus can be counted on. For this reason, the larger the number introduced at one time the bet ter the chance 01 success. Limited as above mentioned, in their efforts to obtain a sufficient supply of eggs for their purposes, the State Commissioners and the leading pisciculturists of the country, at an annual meeting of a Society established by them, determined to ask Congress for aid in accomplishing their object. Their appeal was met by an appropriation during the session of 1871-72, the disbursal of which was placed in charge of Prof. Spencer T. Baird of the Smithsonian Institution, and at the time United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries. After ^consultation with gentlemen interested, and realizing the importance of leaving no effort untried to accomplish the object, the Commissioner determined upon three methods looking toward this end, excluding at the same time any idea of dependence upon the Canadian Government with its exorbitant charges. The first method was found in a plan devised by Mr. Charles G. Atkins, formerly Finlx Commissioner of Maine, and practiced by him witli much success in 1871. This consisted in securing the living fish (principally by purchase at the weirs and pounds) from the period of their first entrance into the Penobscot River, in Spring, and transferring them to a fresh-water pond near Bucksport, Maine, until their spawning season should arrive. About 600 fish of both sexes were thus secured, j and the eggs stripped from the females j when ripe (about the end of October) i and fertilized by the milt of the male, j the total yield* being about a million i and a half of eggs. Half the expense; of this experiment was borne by the j United States, and tlio other half by | the States of Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. It has been a distinguished success, and will, we hope, be repeated on a larger scale during the coining season. The next source of supply suggested was the Sacramento River, the salmon of which, though of a different species from that of the Atlantic waters, is equally good, and has the advantage of thriving in , much warmer water, and thus of being fitted for introduction into such States as Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and possibly the Mississippi Valley. To turn this opportunity to practical account, Mr. Livingston Stone, a well known pisciculturist, was sent to the Sacramento River, ami erected a hatching-house on the McCloud River, one of the tributaries. Misled by the information furnished as to the spawning season of this fish, Mr. Stone arrived on the ground a little too late for the full realization of his purposes, and succeeded in obtaining only a few eggs. These were sent East, and hatched out ut tho establishment of Dr. Slack at Bloomsbury, New-Jersey, where to the number of <5,000 they are now awaiting the period of their transfer to the Susquehanna Diver, their ultimate destination. They prove to be very hardy, and there will be no difficulty in greatly increasing the number another season. These two efforts not promising a i sufficiency, Prof. Baird directed his efforts toward obtaining a supply from Germany, and, on application to the Qputschc Fi*rhcrcl I 'erein, was informed that the German Government would give orders to the Director of tho Na- i tional Establishment at Huningen on the Rhine to reserve at the proper sea- . bou 250,000 eggs as a present to the . United States. To supplement thin , generous act, and to make sure of an : ample supply, an additional 500,000 was ordered from 3Ir. Schuster, Burgo- , meister of Freiburg, at the low rate of ' 82 per 1,000?a considerable difference '{ from the Canadian $40. These eggs 1 , were duly packed up by the middle of J January last, and delivered to Mr. Rudolt" Hessel, an experienced fish-breeder of Oflenburg, Baden, who sailed with , them on board the Bremen steamer ' "NVeser, which left for New York on the j lHth, arriving on Tuesday, the 4th of ( February. By the courtesy of the offi- ( cers of the ship, who rendered every ( facility in their power, the boxes contained the eggs were placed in a small , place on deck, where they could be '. easily attended to by Mr. Hessel. They filled GO boxes, occupying about seven tuns of measurement. The un- ( prccedentodly warm weather which pre- j, railed in Germany during the last of 1 1872 and prior to the Railing of the Wescr, was very unfavorable to the success of the experiment, as it hurried forward the hatching of the eggs, and ! rendered them much more delicate than . usu il. I* was, therefore, not surprising to liuu, on unpacking them, that a considerable number of the eggs had spoiled, though it is hoped that tlic majority will be saved. As soon as the vessel arrived, the eggswere transhipped to the fish-hatching establishment of Dr. Slack, where they are now undergoing the necessary treatment. What- ( ever be their fate, the experience of, the past season will, it is hoped, make further effort a distinguished success. The Commissioner expects very shortly to transmit the eggs at his command from the different sources mentioned tc various establishments in the New England and Middle States, and those bordering on the lakes, to be hatched oul and introduced into the waters. Where there are State Commissioners the charge of the supply for their respective constituencies will, it is understood, be given to them. The Modoc War. A correspondent with the United States troops in the Modoc fight, says that the work of reducing Captain Jacli is one that is likely to take months tc accomplish. Meanwhile the wily old Indian lies in his lava bed and laugh: in his Bleeve at the trouble and expense he is putting his Great Father to. He has won two fights, and is of course elated. He considers himself as safe in his lair now as he would be if there were no troops within a thousand mile: of him, and ne no doubt has good rea son to believe so. He has killed thirty men all told since the war began, and has lost but one warrior, and that one in the first fight. In the last battle he lost none at all, as all here concede. 1 have seen no one yet that claims that i single Indian was even injured. A1 this has made Captain Jack more impu dent and saucy than. ever. There ar< some funny incidents of the late batth which have not yet been printed, bu which go to show the brazen effronter of these Indians more than anything else. About noon of the day of tin fight, while Fairchild's company wer< in the very hottest of it, P. A. Dorris one of Fairchild's men, suddenly heart a voice above him, apparently not mor< than forty feet off. He looked up, ant could just see through the feg into i litle crevice in the rocks. There wer two Indian faces, which he at once re cognized as belonging to Bogus Charli" and " Frank," the latter the same win accompanied Dorris and Fairchild whei they went into Captain Jack's camp si: weeks ago. Quick as lightning Dorri dodged behind a rock, when the tw( Indians began to laugh and jeer him "Hi!" said Frank, "you old man Dor ris, why yon no go home and stay there What for you come here to fight Mo docs ? You say you no want to fight We no want to fight you. You Siskiyoi boys better all go home. You can't ge Injun out of lava bed." Dorris mad no answer, but stood behind the rock out of harm's way. Just then Coloue Green, who heard the talk, came up am called to his men, " Charge on thn place, boys, and rout out those two In dians ! There's only two of them ! The men were met with the fire of thre or four rifles from the crevice in th rock, and for an instant they wavered " Up and at 'cm, boys !" yelled Colonc Green. " Oh, yes, that's all good, shouted Bogus Charlie from behind th rocks. " Up and at 'em! but why yo no some up and at 'em yourself ? You'r a pretty soldier! why for you no com yourself, eh ?" Colonel Green coul not stand this taunt, and ke made on spring at the rocks. The Indians fire at him, but the fog was just thic enough to render their aims imperfeci The soldiers followed the Colonel, bn bofnrp they could climb up to the poir the Indians dodged Pack, and flioi jibes and jeers died away in the dit tance. Ten minutes afterward Dorri came out from behind his rock an groped his way through the fog. II hadn't got but ten steps when he hear Bogus Charley's voice again from ar other direction. He looked, and as th log lifted a little he saw the Indian1 head just above a rock. "Hi! vou ol Dorris; why you no go home ? iNobod want to kill you ; you want to kill me You come up here." Dorris lifted hi gun, but before he got it up Charle twisted his fingers at the end of hi nose, and with a jeer dodged behind th rock and was seen no more. All throng the night the Indians had several seal poles planted on the rocks, each wit! several white scalps dangling to if These have the same significance thn a battle flag usually has. Every one in a while they would come up am shake the poles in a suggestive manne and then dodge behind the rocks. Th savages all fought without clothes, sav a clout about their loins. They fough with terrible desperation, and had i not been for the fog it is certain hun dreds instead of tens would have bea killed. Fnircbildsnnd his men got pos session of the spot where his iutervic\ was held, but was unable to keep it, th Indian fire from the rocks above beinj too hot for human endurance. Fair childs got behind some rocks to protec himself from fire, and while there Shacl Nasty Jim and Sear Face Charlie, win were not twenty rods off, rode up fron behind their shelter and called out " Hi, John, come up here and get som< supper. We've got more to eat than yoi have !" Mr. Fairchilds did not go t< sup with the Indians, but when the foj thickened got down on his back am rolled out of the line of fire. Falls into an Old Mine. At Baker's cord mine, near Cleveland Ills., the house of a miner name* Robert Spargo stood directly over ni old chamber of the mine. The eartl under the house suddenly sank, causing the dwelling to drop into the cavity fou or five feet. Mrs. Spargo and fou children were gathered about a stove ii one of the rooms. The floor gave wa^ and the stove went into the cavity be low, and the mother and her clnidrei were precipitated upon it and the fir< which had fallen out of it. Severn men working not far distant saw tin house sink, and ran toward the place but before they reached the house tin screams of Mrs. Spargo and the child ren, and the smoke which was pouriiu out of the house, told them of the hor rible situation. The men rushed int< the yard, took water from some barrels ?ntered the house, and succeeded h extinguishing the fire about the womai md her little ones. But one child, j cprl in her fourth year, was burned t( death. Anotner, younger man me tie ceased, was burned so that slie died lies [lav. Mrs. Spargo and the other tw< children were burned in a frightfu manner, though at last accounts al three were living. The clothes of al were burned, their hands were singed find the flesh on their faces and bodiei blistered. All were taken to the hous< of a neighbor, and everything possible was done to alleviate their suffering but the saving of any of them wai iloubtful. Biblical knowledge has made a lone stride in some sections of New England, V New Hampshire minister, while por traying the history of Jenah.is reportec to have uttered the following eloquenl passage: " I seem to see Jonah passing idong the road to Nineveh; I seem tc see him entering the ticket-office, bnj his ticket and pay for it; I seem to set liim walk upon the vessel; I seem tc see them lift their anchor, and the stately ship move grandly out unon the 'jroad Atlantic," 11 Talleyrand. , | In Temple Bar we find tlie following story:? nc .Talleyrand could neither love nor hi 1 hate; he was a passionless man; he n( never committed a cruel or vindictive te ' action, and never a purely motiveless ly [ generous one. Every thought, feeling, ui ' i plan of his naturo revolved round one so : great centre?self. He could not, as a sv great statesman, have created a broad, in ' comprehensive scheme of Government; to his own petty interests dwarfed his wl ideas. In him the reasoning faculty pi was largely developed, the imaginative w! 1 not at all; he trusted to no deductions, SI i to no speculations that were not rigidly tl ; derived from his own personal expen- ai > ences ; hence ins news, aiuiougu won- ir [ derfully correct, were never all-compre- th $ hensive. He understood mankind sec- 01 5 tionally; he could almost infallibly ol ! foresee liow each section would act la ; singly; but of that " touch of nature w; ? that makes the whole world kin "?of ta 5 those subtle links that can mass man- ai i kind as a whole, and by which all great ei - rulers have swayed their worlds, he of r knew nothing. Because no process of k< I mathematical reasoning, no experience, w ; however extended, can deduce them; n< 5 their existence can only be the inspira- a [ tion of those creative faculties of the i mind that revealed to Shakspeare a 1 Macbeth and a Hamlet. He worked for C( - the greatness of France, because upon hi ; the greatness of France depended the ni i greatness of Talleyraud. tl t He was purely a cynic?the well- bi f being of mankind never for a moment e) 1 entered into his calculations. To him ji 2 the world was a chess-board?mankind tl e the pieces ; he ranged his kings and his n , queens, his bishops and his generals, 1 and played them one against the other ; ? wljen the game was exhausted, and the o: 1 sovereign was encompassed by enemies fi beyond all hope of escape, he cried T e "Checkmate," and began the game - afresh. It was said of him, "Like a e oat. he alwnvs falls upon his feet; cats T i do not follow their masters, they are T a faithful to?the house." His vices were \ those of the age in which lie was educas ted; his licentiousness, his cynicism, T o his skepticism, his selfish contempt for . mankind, were learned in the boudoir - of DuBarry. In reason and in action x ? he was of the nineteenth century; in - thought and feeling he was of the an- n cient regime. His liberalism had been a learned in the school of Voltaire; he t accepted the advance of political ideas x e as a necessity, but with no sympathy. "The thoughts," lie said, "of the :1 greatest number of intelligent persons T ;1 in any age or country are sure, with few t more or less fluctuations, to become in t i- the end the public opinion of thsir age " and community," and lie always yielded T e to public opinion. While attached to e any Government, he served it faithfully I. and zealously ; and in all his tergiver 1 sations he scrupulously retained the " outward forms of decency, reserving to e himself a respectable excuse for his Vi u defection. "I have never kept fealty In e to anyone longer than he has himself H1 e been obedient to common sense," he d said. The most brilliant of his talents tl c was a marvellous and most-prophetic f( d foresight, in proof of which I extract ci k the two following quotations from his t. writing. _ , it The prophesy contained in the first is j. it rapidly coming to pass ; that contained c] ir in the second lias just been wonderfully ti 5- fulfilled : "Upon the side of America, s Europe should always keep her eyes d open, and furnish no pretence for re- ^ e crimination or repx*isals. America grows J., d each day. She will become a colossal li i- power, and the time may arrive when, c brought into closer communion with s Europe by means of new discoveries, " d she will desire to have her say in our l> y affairs, and put in her hand as well. T ?. Political prudence then imposes upon ti s the Government of the Old World to y scrupulously watch that no pretext is s given her for such an interference. c The day that America sets her foot in B( li Europe peace and surety will be banish- H p ed for many years." Do not let us de- Y li ceive ourselves : the European balance ;. that was established by the Congress t of Vienna will not last forever. It will e be overturned some day, but it promises tl il us some years of peace. The greatest ki r danger that threatens it in the future " e arc aspirations that are growing uni- 't|( e versal in Central Germany. Thenecest sities of self-defense and a common L t peril have prepared all minds for Ger manic unity. That idea will continue a to devcloy until some day one of the ^ i- great Powers who make part of the p v Confederation will desire to realize ai e that unity for its own profit. Austria ci X is not to be feared, being composed of [i - pieces that have no unity among them- y t selves. It is then Prussia who ought k. to be watched, she will try, and if she 3 succeeds, all the conditions of the bal- . 1 ance of power will be changed ; it will , bo necessary to seek for Europe new 2 bases and a new organization. ^ } Fads in Natural History* cc x 1 The rattlesnake finds a superior foe in the deer and black smike.
