There will be sent from both of Ihe great Democratic b'die between 3 xt) and 1,0 men. These, together with the many Democratic clubs which have determined to attend the conven tion independently oT the regular organ izations, and the Irving Hall delegation, will increase the numb?r of New York City D-ui)cra?s who will attend the convention to oyor 3,000 men.

The llaridall bill abolishes t,he tobiccj tax entirely, reduces the whiskey tax from 'JO cents a gallon to ".0 cents, and does away with all taxes on spirits made from fruit or used in the arts and man ufactures. Congress will never consent to reduce the tax on whiskey and that ia the rock against which Mr. I.indaH's tariff boat will be dash-d to pieces. Henuy Urn-;, the well-known friend of dumb animals, died unexpectedly in tbe city of New York, where he was born sixty live jeais ago, on Monday jast. In 1Si;.'1. and for some time subse quently, he held the position of Secreta ry of legislation at St. Petersburg, and on his return to this country in lft'.G be organized the society for the Prevention o Cruelty to animals in connection with which his namt has eiuce become so well-known, and to the successor which he devoted uut only a veiy con siderable private fortune, but all his time and talent. lie was an enthusiast on the subject of protecting animals from man's cruelty, and he lived long enough to know that his fforts on be half of the dumb brute had been crown ed with so much success. Ha was a pionetr in a humane cause ami has left a legacy behind him of which any man nrght well feel proud. The report or the special committee of the New York Lugis'ature into trusts leaves little to be sought for as to the character or the S.acdard Oil Coaa pany. It Is defined as a "type or a sys tern which has spiead like a disease thronjh the comtnerciil system or the country," that It his enriched the bo'd ers out of all p'opjrtion. by controlling Xroductlou, pricrs and the operation of the market. It was shown that "the actual value of the proeity in the Trnt ontro' at the- present time is not less than f 14S,iH),(ai0. This sum iu the bands of energetic, intelligent, and ag gressive (tnd the trustees themselves, as has been said, own a majority of the took o? the Trust, which absolutely controls the f I H,G ), is one of the most active and possibly the mnst for midable moneyed power on this conti nent. When i: is remembered that all this is the growth of twenty yean, that this property has more than OrubUd in alue in six years, and that with this increase the Trust has made aggregate dividends during that period o? over lif.y millions of dollars, the people may well lio'; with apprehension ot such a rapid development ani centralization of wealth wholly inde;endent of legal contro'. and anxiously seek out means to to nlifj if not prevent the natural consequences of tbe device producing It." Neveu iccethe cl :se of the civil war has auch a coarse ard brutal speech been delivered in llie S-mte of the Uni ted State?, as that of John J. Ingalls, of Kiusaa, on lasi Tuesday week, on the Dependent Pension bill, in which be traduced the, President, aspersed the pa'.i'otism ot McClellan. Hancock and C.rteley, aud vili:0v-d the Southern peo ple in unstinted terms. As soon as b took his seat his blackguard harangue was promptly and elcq iently replied to by Mr. II ackburn, of K-ntucky, whose remarks will be found elsewhere in our paper. McCcllan was Ibe hero of Antic-taw where be defeated Lee.s army and drove it back across the Potomac jnto Virginia, for which Congress by a unanimous vote tendered him the thanks of the American people. Hancock was the Marshal JSey :of the Army of the Potomac and at Gettys burg covered blmself with imperishable glory. Horace (ireely was not a soldier, but no man until Ingalls undertook the dirty j jo ever questioned his love of country or the sincerity of his motives. The spectacle of tbe lean, lank and Cas frius like Ioga'Is. himself a true Ishma. lite, standing up iu tbe Senate and d fini ng such war heroes as McClellan aud Hancock, and auch a civilian as Ureely.U enough "to stir a fever in the blood of age" and cause the very pillars of the Capitol to cry "Shame!" The man, ot rather the thing in the shape of a man, with a malovolent heart and a venemous tongue, who can thus dslib?rate!y crawl in the dirt, put3 himself outside of the pale of decent society and shows that his Dormal ins iocts fit him for treason, stratagems and spoils. His vulgar attack upon the President will not barm that gentleman. On rn- re than one occasion Icga'ld. as President j-ro Km of the Senate, has sat at Mi. ,;fe'Atia'a laue in the Vrtn-c House. Of course Le will never be in vited to go there again, and if be has cheek enough hereafter to enter ita doors ucbidden, we trust he will be incontinently ejected, even if it requires the vigorous application of tbe toe of a heavy Presidential boot to effect that jurpoae. The Republican newspapers are still wrestling with the puzzle, "who caa carry New York against Cleveland ? " Although Cjnklibg hn distinctly de clared that he is out of active politics and would cot accept the nomination, a friend of that gentleman living in Buf falo, addressed a letter to him last week asking him to take a second sober thought over the matter and permit his name to be used at the Chicago conven tion. In his reply Mr. Conkling repeats his former declination in mild, but most emphatic term". Tha maD who be lieves that either Illaine or Cjklitg could carry New York is simply a po litical lunatic. It was Conkling's per ianal following that deflate j Blalce In that State in 11, and as the ancient J feud between the Coding and the n ame meu sun exis.s, u wouiu uo so again if Blaine was a candidate. Does any sane man teiieve, on the ether hand, that if Uonklicg shoulJ be nominated Iilaine's ardeut followers in the Empiie State would not slaughter him as thor oughly as Illaine's follower; slaughtered CouM ng's frieci Judge Folger.when te wjs the '.tepublican candidate for Gov ernor of New York in 12 against Grover Cleveland ? If there is a Ke ' publican in this country who could pos sibly command the vote of the State of New York against Cleveland, which we do not for one moment admit, be mnst be a man who has never L:ec idenMS'd with either the U'aine or Corik'mg I factions in that S't J hn Sherman is c mfesd-dly not such a man because it wis his action, as Secretary of the Treasury under Hayes, that drove Conkling out of the United States Sen ate by ii s removal of Chester A. Ar thur, who was Cotkling's close frieni from the collectoirhip or the Port cf New York. Youug chickens will al ways come home to roost and that is the philosophic reason why neither Blaine nor Cjnklirg would s'and the ghost of a chance or receiviug the electoral vota or Nc-w York over Cleveland. "Boh 'Caudnei:, as he was familiar ly called, who was a passenger locomo tive engineer on the Pennsylvania It til road betweeu Hirrisburg and Altoona, proved bimselt to be a true hero on last Monday morning white at bis post of duty, ani in d ing so sicriSied his own life. About 3 o'clock on that morning ai ea3t bound fieizht train from Altoo na was derailed by a broken axel at N'g Br'a Gap, two miles east or Huntingdon and tha cars scattered promiscuously on both the east and west bound tracks. The front portion of the tiain, however, was uot deriled and the ensineer, on account of thf severe storm tneu pre vailing, not knowing what had occurr ed, did not stop his engine but continu ed going east. Tne second section of the Express train coming west drawn oy iiardner s engine was then about due at that point and passed the freight engine at the rate of 4- miles an hour. In a few momenta afterwards it dasned into the wrecked portion cf the freight train wLich lay on the west-bound por tion of the track. Garaner. the her;vc engineer of the express, saw the ot' met ion when apyroacntng it, re versed his engiue and gave the diigr signal, but was urale to stop the triir. H i remained at his pos. however, ar.d after the terril.'e collision be was found aiuulst the dbris of his engine cliugiog to the throttle, lie was d-ad aud bad giy"ii up his I.fe in th. attempt to nve that of the eijih'y or ninety passengers on the trair. A few of the assengrs were paiufullv, but not fatally injured. M er. the fiieman, a:so remained at hi poa and like Gardner met death in tne p-rfoimtneeor hi duty. Gard ner was a resident of Harnburg and hd been on the road for over 20 years. He was well known all along bis route and was ur.iveisaltv respected. II ws a man or family. While bis tragic death is deeply to be deplored his stern devo tion to his duty will call forth the highest meed of praise. A little straw from Iowa, once the bacuer Republican State in the Union, bearing on tbe question of tariff reform, is the announcement that the Democrats at the municipal election last week in Des Moines, the Capital or the State, carried their entire city ticket, and that "the laboring men Toted almost so'idly for it." Tbe Death of Emperor W illiam. With the demise of Emperor William, of Germany, there has been removed one of the great central fi ures of the nineteenth century. We in our West ern land, far away from the atmosphere that surrounds imperial power, and looking on the "divine right" of kings to rule as something from which we have happily emancipated ouiselves, cannot gauge his hfe-wotk by the standard that will be applied to it by those who live under the shadow of a monarchy. Yet we canco. fail to re cognize the genius that welded petty Powers and Principalities together in one homogeneous mass aud at last eccotn plished tne task of reuniting a regener ated Germany, It Is difficult to realize that the man who died no later than yes'erday. and who wielJed the sceptre of government almost until his last hours, ozc? m;t tbe great Napoleon on the C. J cf Latile ; saw dynasties change and empires over thrown ; witnessed the revolution in Paris in 1S4S, the outbreak of which re echoed far and wide over Europe ; watched a new Napoleonic Empire arisa from the ruins of that ttruggle, and. having brought about the downfall of that Empire, found himself crowned in the Palace of Versailles itself as Em peror of a united Germany. When this monarch whom King Death Das just uncrowntd was appointed Regent of Germany, owing to tbe insanity of his brother. King Frederick William IV, his first acts were full of promise. Ia deed, by nominating a p pu!ar Ministry he virtually acknowledged the people's right to have a share in their own gov ernment. But when he ascended the throne a change came over him, and in his coronation speech he alluded very plainly to the "divino right" through which heacccp'ed the crown. Despite his well-known liberality and euhgbt ment on some points, he was at variance with the majority of his thinking sub jects. The Prussians were, above all thing, a military people, but they had been asked to Indulge in soldiering to an extent for which they professed the greatest aversion. William I had a fixed belief that the welfare of Prussia depended upon her possession of a eolossal army, and j he Drgan his. aiilu ous task of carrying Outanirmy reform scheme. It was at this stage that there entered on tbe scene a man whose career has vver since been indissoluoly linked witn that or his master. To Otto Von Itismarck's gigtntic intellect aud re markable foresight Germany largelj owes h " presmt leading position amoDg nation?. It would Le simply a repetition of familiar history to trace ia detail the ubs-qnett conduct of K nz W.lliam. I afterward of w.rld wide ftma us the Emperor of United Germany. B s marck was a man after K;ng William's own heart. aLd they woiktd together. Although the great Chancellor's share in the events that brought about thk supremacy of Germany in Europe is ac knowledged, ii would be unjust tD be little Emperer William'a part therm. He selected the proper instruments for the execution of his projects, and, hav ing once selected them, he stood by them in all their conflict J. The names of these two men will always be associ ated ia tha chronicles of the gteat. Afcer the French war their whole domestic policy aimd at the perfction of the nation tl unity that had been cresteJ. In thisthey largely succeeded, although the advancing tide of liberal- ,sm wcasionai.y it 01 y threatened to sweep s dear to the heart So Tar as the succession to the throne of Prussia is concerned there is iu the Constitution of that Kingdom an effec tive safeguard against anv possible complication. The safeguard is con tained in a section which declares that the crown is hereditary on the male side of the royal house according to the rights of the first born. If the King be short cf his majority, or from any other cause be incapacitated from governing, it is provided that the regency ia to be taken I y the next hefr presumptive; and if t be re bo at hand ho heir of ego both Houses of Parliaount in j int srs sion ore to elect a regent A possible interregnum was provided against in November last by the appointment of Prince William to act as Uegent, but .'.it m !'.'.!-, VTj -u; ujjaa cy innce BisuWck in tha Uicbstag yesterday that Frederick William would ascend L the throne of Prussia under the title of 1 rederick III dispels all doubts as to the succ?ssion. It is ev'iPnt, however, that the new King of Prussia will not be proclaimed Eacp.-ror of Germany until the formali ty of an election shall have been gone through with. Although the late Em peror William was proclaimed Emper or at Versail.es, it was not until several months later that he was elected by the lt-icbstag and thus invested with su preme authority as Kaiser. Tbe consti tuent Priuces of Germany will doubt less, therefore, be called upon to support the fiction that the headship o- the Empire is elective ; and thus the Impe rial C .institution, which was adopted in April. 1871, will still be maintained in its in.egrlty. Tne coronation of Fiederick William, even though he may aot live long to er j iy his hereditary rights, will Invest bis wife with a measure of influence which may be exercised temporarily ae a countercheck on Bismarck's ambitious schemes. The views entertained by the new King tave been broad and en lifinteued. and largely in accord with tbe aspirations or the progressive ele ment among the German peopte. But there is uo denying the deauerate strait in which Frederick III Cuds himseir ; ror he seems already to b within thn shadow of death, and with "II ill !" will speedily come "Farewell !" l'hil.

Shortly after S o'clock all the members of the family staying at the Palace, the court digni taries. Generals and Ministers of State were summoned lo the chamber in which the Emperor lay dying. The Emperor was in a half sitting position on a camp-bedstead. All Ibe members of the royal family took places at the Ix-djiie. The room was crowded. Pr.nce William st .d n-arest the E-a-peror. half bending over the couch. He earueitly watched the face of the dyiog monarch until he expired. Tne Empe ror died holding the Empress by the hand.

In j Kepiy i me juueceni aii.uh. vu u.v President, General Hancock. General SrCIellan and Horace Urecly, by Jon J. Ingalls, of Kansas. Mr. Blackburn said be did not know j that he (Mr. IJ'ackburn) was a necessa ry connecting link with the Senator's acceptance of the Presidential nomina tion. The Sanator from Kansas doubt- ! less did know that illness in the family of ibe Stfsator from Missouri had taken him a long distance from the city. a;.d that he was to be absent for some time on that account, lis protested against the lack of fairness evinced ty tbe Kan sas Sen a-or when he undertook to deal in such fashion with men who had simp'y stated facts and submitted data for the consideration of the Senate ou the pending bill. What cause of grievance the S-nitor had that warranted him in applying language to tbe Chief Magistrate which would not be permissibleou the Hustings (he would not say thet It would be dis graceful even to be employed by fish women) be did not know. But when that Senator undertook to denounce tbe Chief Eexecutive of the United Sta es after such a fashion as to deliberately declare that no man afllicted with igno rance ao profound, with obscurity eo gross, should consider himself ae unfit to become the President's successor, it did seem to bim (Blackburn) that the dignity of the Senate Chamber refused permission to respond. He was cot here to defend the President from such unwarranted attacks. He knew but one Bin which the President had committed ia the eyes of the Senator from Kana. That might be tbe unptrdonable sin. It was that, having defeated tha Sena tor's party at the polls, he had given to tbe American people for threi years past so efficient, so honest, so clean handed an administration as to doom the last of Republican aspirations to distster. (Applause on tbe Democrat ic side and in the galleries.) But the S.nator from Kansas had even gone farther and done worse in bis in;emerate z-al. He bad not spared the sanctity of the grave. In i frantic efforts to stir up prejudices between sections already reunited he had drugged up for abuse and viHifl-a-ioa before the American S -nate such mn as hid furnished w:th their uublriui til ed swords the brightest pages of Ameri can history. McClellan and Ilir.cock were to be denounced in the Senate (lhimtr a allies or the Conf ednates. Would it not have been in better taste, at least more creditable to the courage and candor or tbe Senator, ir he had made such a charge before both of these mu were buried ? Ingalls (from fctsseat) I did often. Mr. B'ackburn Then, so much tbe worse for the gentleman from Kansaa. What warrant or ground had he for that, excepc that they were both differ ent from himself at least in political faith, if (may we not hope also) in many other regards ? Hancock an ally oT Confederates ! Was he so regarded and believed when, weltering In his blood on Cemetery Heights, be refused to be removed from the Celd and per sisted !o giving tbe orders which check ed the last advance of Lorgstreet's imstatible battalioLs? Was it this man wh) was honored by the American people, whether Republicans or Demo crats, up to the very date whea he bad accepted the nomination of the Demo cratic parly, who wa to be spoken of as an ally of the Confederates It Ibe Senator from Kansas complains of the Senator from Missouri and says tha th-j res's his complaint upon that Sen tor's Congressional autobiography. I be lieve it is generally assumed that a gentle man writes that bit of interesting his tory for himself. In looking over the short but conspicuously brilliant auto biography of the Senator from Kansas, I find that be waa not in tbe army in lStl. He certainly was not ia the army in 1602, because be says be was in the State Senate of Kansas In that year. But he waa in the army from 1SG3 to llo and in what canacitv ? H was Judge-Advocate of tbe Kansas volun teers (laii(,hter) while Gen. Back, tbe Commissioner of Pensions, was bleeding on tbe Kansas frontier; while McClellan was commandirg th army a IUbmLm. . I : t tr , 7- .'-Tuu (, iiii,? amncocs wl weltering in his blood at Cemetery Heights, at GettyabUfg, the Senator from Kansas, alwavs behind the rear of the army, was prosecuting Kansas jay hawkers for robbing beniooats. (Loud laughter and applause.) "Now what are we to think of the arguments or a Senator who will leave his seat as presiding officer and come to the floor in the Illustration of partisan zal which (I am glad to sav) I have never seen equalled, attacking all de cent people, from tbe President of the United States down (civilians aa well as military men), and letting no object escape the venom of his tongue ?

I do not want to be put in the position of an opponenent or enemy of pensioning of honest Federal soldiers. I have never opposed pensioning men who have served in the Uulon army and who were incapacitated from sup porting themselves either by disease or wounds. Atd I do not know tbe Con federate who has done so. "Party man as I am, partisan as I confess myself to be, I do sincerely trust that I may never find my terra of public service prolonged to that day, nor my life extended to that boar, when without warrant, without facts to sup port it, without trutb at my back, I will turn deliberately to traduce and abusi the dead wbo, while living, were honored ly all honorable men." (Loud applause, which the presiding officer again checked.) Mrt. John BnionT, who never miss es an piortunity to vilify Mr. Glad stone, made a speech in Dublin as far back as tbe year 1SGG, in which he sai l : I d.m't know how. whether It Is from a natural love or wbat is just or not, but 1 al ways had a irreat sympathy wiih the Irish people and Irish questions, and as long as 1 remain in Parliament or in public life, or In life at all, and am capable of thinking.

They then dragged bim to the platform of the car and left him for dead. He was found shortly after tbe train bad started by a passenger, but did not regain bis senses until the train reached Mandan. Xew Baffalo Is a few miles west c f Faro. The train was the west-bound Xorthern Pacific Express. Mrs. Trott, of Muskegon, Mich., went to bed in a Milwaukee hotel the other night witb tbe recollection of all the bote! fires of which abe had read surging through her brain. She soon awoke witb a statt. for she heard considerable noise down stairs. Tbe noise continued, and the poor woman became so nervous that she jumped from her window to a sbed, and thence to the ground, and never stopped until she reach ed tbe house or a relative, 1C miles awar. ner room was over tbe kitchen, and the noise she beard was made by tbe servants in doing np tbe evening work. "Squire W. J. Anderson, of Xenia, O. has a coat 112 years old. It was worn by bis great-grandfather in Xorth Carolina. Tbe coat is made of linen and cotton which was spun, colored and woven by the wife of its former owner. It is cut in the conti nental style, and the buttons are round molds cut fioni a gourd and covered with cloth. Tbe suit to which It belonged was made expressly to be worn at a ratification meeting held at the time of the Declaration of Independence, and was worn very little afterward. It has been on exhibition at a number or county fairs of late years, and relic hunters have cot nearly all tbe buttons off. The Xorthtrestern JifZer o f February 2 makes the following statement In respect to tbe enormas production of flour in the West : The Minneapolis mills made 114, ' 1W) Drrels nur last week, and exported i barrels. Tbe market is steady, but ' not active. Tbe St. Louis mills made C8 . 700 barrels last week. The market has been more active, and the output will be larger this week. Thirty nine Xortbwes t-rn mills outside of Minneapolis made 359, C94 barrels of flour In January, as against 338.576 barrels for the same month in 188T. These ml'.U exported 91.441 barrels Ic Jan nary, against 70,808 barrels lu that month Ust year.

For absent tuindedaesj a citizen of Bangor, Me, certainly is entitled to tbe wreath. Xot long since be severely injured one of bis fingers atd was advised to poultice it. He prepared a poultice and ap plied it carefully to tbe diseased member and then went about his business as usual. Soon, however, the finger began to pain him In an unusually severe manner, and be could not account for it until he made a close examination of his hand, took bold of tbe member that pained him, when he found that the poultice was on the wrong finger. The Fennsylvauia Fisb Commission met In Harrlsburg on Saturday to taks action on the large comber of applications that bave been received for carp and trout. It was determined to buy carp sufficient to fill mil applications. The limit or trout was fixed at 2.000 for each applicant, and the Secretary was Instructed to correspond witb the Latching houses and learn how many trout are on band with a view to pro rata distribution in tbe different parts of the State. A resolution was adopted in structing the Secretary to instruct market masters to keep a close watch on tbe mar kets and arrest people wbo sell fish out cr season. A shocking story of debauchery and the execution of popular vengeance comes from BlulTton. Georgia. A white woman, wbose name is not given, bad become inti mate witb a negro named Aaron Dickey, well known as a desperado. A party of young men seeing the negro enter the woman's bouse waited until midnight, when they broke in and found the couple as sus pected. Dickey stoutly resisted, bat the young men pressed closely around bim and soon bound bim. They tcok him out to a tree, to which they tied him. The men welted Dickey's back with a wnip until the blood came. From cursing the negro turn ed to pleading for mercy, but without avail. The vigilants told bim be would not live to see daylight. When one detail would wary in the wotk or lashing it would be relieved by another. As day beftan to dawn the men disappeared, but Diefcyydied from the thrashing. Rrwoha Law MtlKatlon. One of tbe most important cases tried last week before the Lehigh county courts was that of Reuben Semmel vs. the county of Iehigb. Semmel has for manv years been constable of Xorth White Hall township, and sued to recover fees and triileas" for making monthly visits to places where liquor is sold, as required by the 1-rooks high license law. The constables of the county last fall formed a league, having for its ohjfct the securing of compensation for making monthly visits to ell places where liqoor is sold. In October Semmel brought suit against tbe county for a fee of fl 50 for each tour of inspection and milcaije. St m mel's district is the largest in the county, and for this reason be was selected to test the case. On each tour he covers twenty five miles, and be claimed that In addition to the fee of ?1.50 he was entitled to six cents per mile, or .'A more, making his compensation for each month three dollars. Judge Albrluht told the jury tmt fie fte bill of lnf8 entitled costab!ei to fee for I certain duties, and sltsCe tbe duties of these oflicia:S embraced in the high license law were compulsory they were entitled to a fee of f 1.50 and mileage. Yl directed the jary to render a verdict in Mr. Semmel's favor for twelve dollars In payment for bis ser vices for four months. The commissioners have made a motion for a new trial. Should a new trial be refused it Is alfogetber likely that the commissioners will appeal the case to the Supreme Court. If the decision of Judge Albright U sustained it will effect evttry constable in the State. A final de cision favorable to Semmel would cost that county annually about one thousand dollars. In Xorthampton couaty it has been de cided that constables need not ruake the visits, and iu Montgomery and Schuylkill the judges hsva decided that such tours are compulsory, but in neither case has the ques tion ot compensation been raised. CodbIuc of th Fox. Dr. J. F. Landiey, in Popular Science .Vnr, relates the following, ohowinu the wonderful sagacity of the fox : On the Lower Wabasi a company of hun ters from Tippecanoe county encamped for the night among the cavernous limestone hills occasionally found In those regions. The hounds soon traced up the retreat of an old gray fox and her family In obe of hose narrow crevices that probab'y led into more open cavern furtbur In. The whin ing of the young foxes was very distinct and led to louder bayings of the hounds. The mother, however, waa "not at home." But it was Dot long till ber barking was beard beyond tne camp, on a small hill In another direction. The dog? soon took the hinr, ana gave hr a magnificent chase around the hill. Doubling on her track, she eluded the dogs, returned to ber cub3, and either carried or induced them to fol low her Into the deeper recesses of tbe cavern, beyond the dangers of digging and chasing. I bave often thought that little piece of strategy a masterly piece of gen eralship. Wbat could bs more natural than to desire to draw away from her young ones the threatening doj,s and men ? is?eni ing to know that her own harking wouid bave .the desired effect of diverting their attention to larger game In an open field. sbe ventured to draw their attack herself, and succeeded in saving tbe both of herself and ber young ones. upon lives Irun4lly ol Kl tim . Fishes produce so many eggs that, if vast numbers of the latter and of the fishes themselves were not continually destroyed, these animals would finally fill up all tbe waters. For example, man ancuallv tbp GO.000,000 or 70,000,000 codfish from the sea around the shores of Newfoundland. But even that quantity seems small when we consider tnat each coi yields about 45.000, 000 eggs each season, and that even 8,000. 000 bare been found io the roe of a single cod. Were tbe GO, 000.100 cod taken on the coa-.t of Newfoundland left to breed, the 30,000.000 females producing 5 OicJ.OoO eegs every year, it would give a yearly addition of 150.000,000,000 young codfish. Other fih, though i.ot equallug the cod, am won derfoily productive. A hen ing weighing six or seven ounces is provided with about 30,000 eggs. After making all reasonable allowances for the destruction of egirs and the vounc, it tas tveen calculated that in three years a single pair of herrings would produce 154,000.000. BufTv.n calculated that If a pair of herrings could be left to braed and multiply undisturbed, for a period of twenty years, they would yield an amount of fish equal la bulk to tbe jtlobe 00 which we lire.
