Fish Catching by Steam. A writer who. has been among the fish ermen of Long Inland sound, says that the fish we not only ground up, and than squeeaed. by ateam power, but ao tually caught by steam. A large fleet of steamera ia engaged in the work. I counted half a dozen, yesterday, while aailing a few milea out from shore?all hard at it. out in the middle of the aound. First, they let down a big net. This is so rigged with a 'puoker-string' aa to be easily drawn together at the top, like the old hand 'work-bags' of our grandmothers; and when there is a good haul of fish?as there almoet al ways is, for the white fiah, moss-bunk er. or bony-fish, as it is variously oalled, fairly a warm in Long Island sound, and I have in some seasons seen hauls of 2300,000 and even 400,000?the great net made, aa it mart be, of the strongest material, is olosed and hauled to the ateamer and there opened and emptied. The emptying*or transferring of the tumbling and Hopping* mass of fish is effected by meana of a big iron aooop, which shuts and opens Uke that of a harbor and river mud-digger. It is worked by ateam, and theprooeas mikes a whirring noise whioh is audible in still weather at a diatanoe of two or three miles. Aa the aooop rises with its finny load the water fliea out in a fountain, visible afar. It opening and emptying can be readily understood by any one who typ observed a mbd-dlgger. The squoeeed-out fish, after the oil be?a extracted, is still useful. It is lure, to be used onoorn-fields itiea bear any proportion to ita iferous capaoiuea?as illustrated on many a hard-fought field?it ought to proauoe some big crops. Great Britain'* Corse.

The Souroe of Turpentine. Every traveler by railroad through the pine forests of North Carolina and other States abounding in the long-leaf pine has been struok with the singular appearanoe of the trees, sometimes ex tending for miles along eaoh side of the road and as far baok as the eye oould penetrate; for eveiy tree seemed at first sight as though it had been whitewashed upon one side about as high as a man's head. If seen by moonlight, the per son might readily believe, if a believer in suoh things, that he had got into a very large field full of ghosts, for suoh a forest oertainly has a very weird ap pearanoe. Suoh a scene is exhibited by a turpentine plantation that has been thoroughly worked; the prooees being first to ohop a box near the root of the tree, large enongh to hold from one to four pints, into whioh the juioe of the tree oozes while the out remains fresh. Then, to keep up the supply, the bark and a portion of the san^ud are out immediately abogflHkbo^ This rooogf [rough the summer, aud per* haps two 9* three summers, extending as high as a man can reach, with a pe culiar-shaped tool, whioh makes a out like a gouge, forming diagonal ohsnnflla from each side toward a oenter line that leads down to the box where the semi liquid turpentine gathers. When the box is filled, the turpentine is dipped ont with an iron tool made for the pur pose into iron buokets, whioh are car ried by a neok-yoke from tree to tree, and when full to barrels plaoed here and there among the trees; the barrels when filled are oarried to the distillery. After the scarifying prooess has reached a height of several feet, a con siderable portion of the pitoh oongeals on its way down and bleaohes white in the air, and it is this that gives the trees their ghostlike appearance. The first run of the trees, oalled 'virgin tur pentine/ is like pure honey, straw colored. and is the most valuable. That whioh is scraped from the tree has lost a considerable portion of its vol quality by evaporation in th^JMl , and of oourse yields les^Mrmts of tur pentine npon dintnit^iGfi', wnioh, in sec tions remote he*!! rail or water trans ports Won^is-ine only valuable portion: the^rerth, being a waste matter, not JTOrth hauling.

Then de cay oommenoes, hastened by the annual burning of the wirs-graesi whioh oovers the sunaoe in nearly all of the pine for ests: and gradually the trees fall to the grottnd and are consumed> and with them the greater portion of the young trees, whioh would in twenty years re place the old ones if the fires oould be kept from their destructive work. But flies will never cease while cattle-raising is the sole business of a majority of the 'piney woods poople.' Why He Neter Drank* II ii related by a Chester lady that when Qoneral William Henry Harrison was running for the presidency he stopped at the old Washington tffottse, in Chester, for dinner. After dinner wine was served. It waa notloed that the general pledged his toasts In water, and one of the gentlemen from New York in offering another said: 'General, will yon not favor me by drinking a glass of Wine f The general deolined in a tery gentlemanly manner. Again he wiu urged to join them in a glass of wine, xhia was too mneh.

At 28 begins 4 steady deoline; bat not until the age of 83 do the ohanoes fall below one in a hundred; after that age they do, and in the rest of her life her ohanoes are but seventy-six in a thou*' sand. At the age of 58 the vanishing point appears in sight; no marriages oe* earring at that age, and at the age of 54, at 55 and 56 ooours one marriage esoh, at 57 none, at 58 one, and after that a woman has literally 'not onie ohauoo in a thousand* of w edding. Her Ibest years are four in number, being {from 19 to 33 inclusive. With m manfi is different. His best years are ten in number, from 31 to 80 inolusive.- It is at the age of 31 that he evidently turns his attention wifeward, and it may be that legislators were entirely right in fixing that as the year when he shall at tain his majority.

It is worthy of note that the sudden drop in the ohanoes of both men and women oo. ours the year after they beoome 'old bachelors' or 'old maid*.' Men do not begin to marry till about three years later than women, but they keep it up more or less steadily five years later.? With men the ohanoes do not fall below 1 in 100 until the age of 40 is reaohed. Then it is 1 in 50, and after that but 1 in 200.

One of the native prinoes ol Java oooled his palaoe by making a stream fall in a casoade over the gate way, and the Indian despot, Tippoo Sahib, plaoed beside his dinner-table a life- sue figure of a tiger devouring an English offloer, the roar of the beast and shrieks of his viotim being imitated by hidden maohinexy.

A queer transaction wm witnessed in a oomotery at Milwaukee a few days sinoe by two gentlemen who had attend ed the funeral of the ohild of a friend, and remained walking about the grounds after the oortege had departed. The sextons had not filled up the grave when a seoond fnneral arrived. It was also that of a ohild, but the grave pre pared for it was too short. The men, therefore, deposited the seoond ohild in the first grave, and when its friends were gone aotually transposed the oofflns to suit the sise of the exoavations.

The habit, a genuine Parisian, imme theftppMruMotiMwvork, out ita faults before noticing aeea,was never indulged in by her. Her enetom wee rather to praise than to biame, and the criticised alike impartially the work of friend or foe. She had been in her time a great beauty. 'My features,' aha says 'were well formed, bat I have never tried to give them expression.' Her faoe waa hand aome rather than interesting; her fea tnrea bore the stamp of Grecian regu larity: her Toioe waa faint and without any ring. In conversation she wsa the reverse of Parisian. She was inoapable of dawling the mind with 'eeprit' by a brilliant play upon words, by unex pected sallies and ready answers. Mental fencing was unknown to her, and she very seldom said anything witty. Her writings oontain very little humor; she was mostly inclined to tao iturnity. She was a better listener than talker, and what she heard was often reproduced in her works. 'Your mind is sluggish,' Musset is reported to have once said in reference to ner oollo quial failings. Inoommon, perhaps, with other writers who are muoh absorbed in their works, she had another remarkable peculiarity. 'If I had not had my works on a shelf before me/ she says, 'I should have forgotten them even to the title page. Ton may read half a vol ume of one of my own romances to me, and with the exception of one or two prinoipal names I should never know it had been written by me. If I were sud denly asked for my opinion on one of my own books, I could sinoerely answer I did not know it?that I must first read it before I could say anything about it.' She alleges this peculiarity as the reason Why in her memoirs she says nothing ft bout the subjeot and tendenoy of any of her own works. Bhe soaroely ever quotes the titles of some of them. Early Gold-Mining in the South, An article in Htrper's Magazine on [old-mining in Georgia states: The first >ieoe of gold ever taken in the United ftates belonged to this deposit, and was oked up in 1799 by Conrad Bead, a >y "who lived in Cabarrus oounty.

Thia excited so mnoh attention that ex ploration was begun,and the gold traoed southward until the borders of the Gherokee territory in Northern Georgia Were reached, ana prospectors began to % croach upon the reservation. Protests fr >m the Indians naturally followed, and Q ?orgia sent a large polioe force to keep bt ok the invaders, bnt it was of little avil. The rush to the mines was muoh the stampede to the Pacific coast in , and reokless, dissipated men from uarters of the country flooked in, led about the woods, set up log and ahanty grooeries on all the as, and psid no respect to the ,te of the Indian, or any one else un to defend- them. Even United treops were powerless to keep the .. i hordes west of the Ohestatee, andjliero as elsewhere the disoovery of gold was the end of Indian possession and kborigirtal simplicity and charm.?

From a shoot it feeeame a sapling, and finally, in the Sourse of thirty years, grew to a fine tree. About eight months ago a severe windstorm passed over Moundsville and Oapt. Stone found his tree laid prostrate. He had it dried, sawed into lumbar, and Sent to a Pittsburg firm.
