FACTS ASD COMMENTS. America is wisely devoting inci'e&Bed iittcntion to her filling Interests, both in iiilmul witters nnd on the sea. Im mense) wealth will bo derived from these nonrees. "Wit li the exception of the Xoi wefpnii hpi vinp; fishery, the herring fishery of Scotland is the' most import ant in Europe, representing a monev vnhie of 15,0(10,(100 per annum. An Edinlmrg journal Mutes tlmt .tho nnmiR-1 value of the herrings brought into tho stations on the coast of Aber deen alone is equal to the whole rental of tho coniitw. The fish commissioners of Maine have ndoptpd a very interesting method of testing the long-established scientific belief that fish return from the ocean to the streams in which they are hatched. They have labeled with light, indestruct ible metal tags several hundred salmon, which they have turned loose in the Penobscot liver. Each fish is num bered and recorded. The commission ers now ask whoever catches a labeled salmon in any waters of the State to forward to them the lish, for which they will pay an extra price, or else to for ward the label and whatever they know about the fish that wore it. This significant remark is made 'by the London lvho: AVhilo Italy is accumulating a deficit; while Austria is bending under a deficit; while Spain can scarcely make both ends meet, and while the alleged improvement of tho financial condition of Prussia has proved to be illusory to sny nothing of Russia-t-it is worthy of notice that Switzerland, as she has do.ie for ages, maintains in govern ment matters the even tenor of her way; that Fiance, under the republic, feels 110 financial strain, and that tho United States, the greatest republic of all, is going forward to prosperity by leaps and bounds." This would indicate that re publican institutions are a striking suc cess from a business point of view on both sides of the sea. The influence of the village improve moet societies, of which the germ was planted in Stoekbridge, Mass., about forty years ago, and which have done much within recent vears to beautify New England towns, lias extended be yond the llocky mountains, and bids fair to bring forth good fruit where there is sore need of such a harvest. The small towns of California present a dis tressing appearance. They were built, for the most part, literally at railroad speed, and a dry climate' and dusty soil have gone far to destroy whatever sightliness they may have ever possessed; but they are not beyond the help of im provement societies. A citizen of Berke ley has offered a prize of $20 for tho best hedge, other than cypress, grown in front of any village lot, aud societies have been established in several towns. The newspapers have taken up the sub ject, and there is reason to believe that local pride may be so stimulated as to work an aniazingMiange throughout the State. A short time ago a scheme to reclaim the everglades of Florida was an nounced, but there were no details of the proposed plan, and it was regarded by many as tho visionary project of some Colonel Sellers in real life. But the Philadelphia papers have given a u intelligible account of the under taking, which is in tho hands of a Philadelphia company, to be known as the Atlantic and East Coast Canal and Okechobee land company. Florida owns fie land by a United States patent, the State legislature has granted a charter, and the sum of M.ooo has been de posited with the State treasurer as a guarantee. The plan, as it is described in the Philadelphia papers.is as follow: The company will dig a canal ten miles long, from Lake Okechobee to the head waters of the Caloos.'ihatchie river. Tho river (lows into the Gulf of Mexico, and its mouth is, according to the surveys made by Colonel Meigs, of the United States coast survey, and General .Gillmore, twenty-throe a'i 1 a half feet lower than lake Okechobee. The work of the en gineers is simply to drain tiie lake suili ciently to prevent its overflow. It is this overflow which causes the ever glades to be submerged with water, the lake having no natural outlet. The ever glades are surrounded by a limestona ridge, which acts as a dam to the water.and after the overflow of the lake it can only disappear by evaporation, which, (if course, is a slow process. The ground is consequent ly almost continually under water. If tin; canal above mentioned does not sutlicientiy drain Lake Oke chobee to prevent its overflow another canal will be cut to the St. Lucie river, twelve miles long, which will carry the water into the Atlantic ocean. ' The mouth of the SI. Lucie river is twenty five feet lower than the basin of Lake Okechobee. All this looks very feas ible on paper, says the New York Tri bune, and in these days it is rash to pre dict failure for any engineering enter prise, however novel and gigantic. Development of Steam Power. A (lingular calculation has been made by Borne foreign arithii e icians of the extent to which steam power has de veloped. England, it is said, derives from the employment of her wealth of coal 7,000,000 of" howc-powerper annum; the United States, 7,500,000 ; Germany, 4,000,000 ; Franco, 3,000,000 ; Austria, 1,500,000. This is exclusive of locomo tive power ; and as, in the old and new world, the total number of locomotives exceeds 105,000, which are working on some 2:20,000 miles of railway, the horse power is reckoned at 30,000,000. In France tho horse-power of the locomo tives is 2,358,008, in addition to 8,177 be longing to fixed engines. Steamers, not reckoning the ships of war, employ 173,039 horse-power; industries gener ally, 481,211. The total horse-power of all the machines and engines worked by steam in the world is estimated at 80,000,000. Now, each horse is equal to about ten men, so that the steam-power of the globe represents a daily working power of 800,000,000 men. The popu lation of the globe has been reckoned by two German savants at 1,455,923,000, and tho number of males between fif teen and sixty-five at about one-third of the population : this, in round num bers, give the total of men of the working ago at 500,000,000. As the 6team engino does tho work of about 800,000,000 men, it follows that, since the invention of W att and Stephenson spread its beneficent influence over all civilized eountrios, the resources of in dustry have nearly trebled. And all this has been accomplished before the atoam engino, as a perfected practical agent, is half a century old.

Sensible DrrnBlng, There is class of women one meets with every day whose dressing is above reproach. They go out to walk, not to show i'leir clothes, but to add to their fine stock of health. They look as if they could sit a horse well, and as if they used often tho luxury of a bath. They wear thick-soled shoes, with low, broad heels, shapely und well-fitting. Their walking and church suits nro of cloth, plainly made, but of ex quisite fit. Their gloves and bon net strings aro above reproach. Tho hair, well cared for, is prettily waved or curled about tho forehead, and worn low, to show tho shape of the heada style that artists love. Unless nature has been verv niggardly, no false hair is allowable. The bonnet is close and very becoming, and the face is pro tected by a veil. An ample parasol or umbrella is ready as protection against sun and rain. M'hat fault can the most censorious man find with a costume like this ? Fnurlen of the l'nu. Much luxury is displayed in two things at present in fans and in shoes. Let me speak of the first. Every one does not know how to use them They are scepters; they command and are obeyed. A fan becomes a oracle, a hope, an ad vice, a fete, a promise, a refusal, a threat and a pardon in skillful hands. It praises, it blames, it encourages, it per suades, it can incite laughter, irony, contempt, grace and fascination. It can be used shut up or opened. It is em ployed to show pretty hands or to caress one's half-opened neck, in order to at tract to its beauty the eyes of stupid men, who do not know how to appreciate it. It is useful for everything for peace, for war, for tenderness, for infatuating, for battle, for replies, for questioning, for maliciousness and for perfidy. Shoulder arms and fire ! A gun kills,' a fan wounds. It is capable of all sorts of caressess and of quarrels. And then what a help in love making! A fat drops, it is picked up, it gets lost and is brought back, it trembles at pleasure and opens itself to affection, it can sing a very canticle. In the last century no French woman equaled Mademoiselle Contal in the play of the fan. Spring- Mamie. The more dressy wraps take the shape of mantles, and those vary from the tiniest shoulder capes to large shirred garments. The small capes are exceed ingly stylish when made quite straight across the back, reaching over the turn of the shoulders, and having narrow ends pointed below the waist in front. These are made of black camel's-hair, or satin silk, or surah, and are elaborately trimmed lUJiiml the neck with high plaited fi ills of lace, niches of passemen terie, beading and fringe; a simple trim ming is on the lower edge. Other capes are merely large round collars, like the fur collars worn during the winter, and others are enlarged to the size of the fur pelerines so popular at present. These are always black, with many rows of narrow plaited lace at the top, and wider lace plaited on the edge, upon which beaded ornaments like fringe are pendent. Of course there is very little warmth in such garments, anil they will be worn merely to give a dressy finish to handsome costumes on tho street. This full high trimming about the neck and shoulders is now con sidered veiy stylish, and is so generally becoming that it will be wo l by stout and slender ladies alike, provided always the figure is line. Tho shirred mantle of black satin merveilleux, satin surah, or sicilienne, is tho most elegant and expensive gar ment for the spring. It is made much shorter than the shirred cloaks worn during the winter such as the Mother Hubbard and the Directoire but is similarly shaped. The shirring is in many rows around the neck, across the middle forms of the back, and about the full wide sleeves. In many cases there are no seams on the shoulders, and the shaping is done by two long seams from the back of the neck down, and a scam under each arm. Some shapes have merely a large slit cut for an arm hole, and a wide shiivcd piece sewed in this slit does duty as a sleeve. In some mantles there are six or tight rows of shirring around the neck like a collar, with standing plaited lace above, and the only other shirring is then a wide cluster just below the waist line in the middle form of the back. Still others have three or four shirred clusters across the back forms, with tho spaces between laid in plaits, and these extend the whole length of the back. A large bow ot black satin ribbon is placed just be low the waist line behind and there are smaller bows on each sleeve and at the throat. Spanish lace promises to bo the favorite for trimming these mantles, and is used in full-gathered and in plaited f i ills. Passementeries aud galloons, with jet and without, are used for head ing laces and for fringe-like drops amid the plaitings. There are ulso new fringes of chenille, like the sealskin fringe worn during the winter, but of lighter quality, with full silk fringe be neath to support the chenille strands. An entire hood of Spanish laco is one of the pretty ornaments for such cloaks, and a great deal of jetted Spanish laco is used for trimming. Sometimes the whole piece put in the armhole for a sleeve is covered with Spanish lace plait ing. Some new patterns of brocade sutin, especially those in leaf, star, and almond designs, are used for very hand somo mantles, though the reader in warned that it is far safer to buy a plain fabric, that is, not figured. Less dressy mantles are made of the cheviots and cloths described for jackets in tho shirred styles just noted for man tles, aud these will be chosen in prefer ence to jackets for general wear, except by very young ladies and misses. The full bishop sleeve, shirred at the band, and again where it joins he middle forms of the back, is seen in these cheviot mantles. The draped cords, low on the back forms, also trim such garments, and the hoods and edges show glimpses of ombre striped satin surah, or else there i i plain red or blue surah edging plait ings of the cloth. A pretty mantje, with the deep Havelock cape that has only one seam behind, is trimmed with small plaited fans of striped satin surah let in near tho edges of the cape and of the lower part of the garment; tho cheviot has a melange of many colors, and the stripes show dull gold, with a little red aud green, yet it is all so tonod down that the effect is harmonious and quiet. The square folded sleeves, falling plain from tho elbow down, and cut in the garment instead of being inserted at an armhole, are seen on many of these wraps, eomo of which are entirely without shirring, wbilo others have tho middle back forms elaborately shirred, or else merely ui a single clustor. lliere are very graceful spring wraps in many of the new styles to be bad Jor tj'J.OO or 1U, but the newest cheviots in shirred shapes range from 10 to 825. Bainr. AST R0L0GICAL "WISDOM. Old Time Mgn of the Chniii of tbn Wrathrr. A popular idea is that the weather changes with the moon's quarters, al though, of course, there is no truth in this piece of astrology. That educated people, as Dr. Taylor has truly pointed out, to whom exact weather records are accessible, should still find satisfaction in this fanciful lunar rule, is an interesting case of intellectual survival. Yet, how ever, the fact remains, and in every-day life one of tho most frequent remarks appertaining to wet weather is that it will no doubt change with the moon. In many parts of the country great attention is paid to the day of the week on which the change of the moon occurs. Thus, if the moon changes on a Sunday, we are told " there will be a flood be fore the month is out," whereas a new moon on a Monday is nearly everywhere welcomed as being a certain omen not only for fair weather but good luck. A change, however, on Saturday seems universally regarded as a bad sign, and numerous proverbs to this effect are found, scattered here and there, in most parts of England as well as Scotland. Some of the most prevalent are the fol lowing: A rMtimlny's elitmgo aud a Sunday's full moon Once in seven yearn is once to booh. In Norfolk the peasantry say: Saturday new and Sunday full Never w as good and never wall. Tho same notion exists on the conti nent; Wednesday in Italy, and Friday in the south of 'France being regarded as unfavorable days for a change of moon. Again, various omens are made from the aspect of the moon. At Whitby, for , instance, when the moon is sur rounded by a halo of watery clouds, the seamen say there will be a change of weather, for tho "moon-dogs" are about. This halo is called in Scotland " burgh," the early Teutonic word for circle, as in the following rhyme: Almut the moon there is a burgh. The weather will lie eauld and rough. A pale moon, too, is equally unfavor able; a piece of 'weather lore to which Shakespeare alludes in "Midsummer Night's dream" (act ii. sc.): Therefore the moon, the governess of floods, Pule in her anger, washes all tho air, That rheumatic diseases do abound. When the moon's horns appear to point upward it is said to look like a bout, and in many parts there is an idea that when it is thus situated there will be no rain a superstition which George Eliot describes in "-Adam Bede :" "It 'ud ha' been better luck if they'd ha' buried him i' tho forenoon, when the rain was fallin' ; there's no likelihood of a drop now. An' the moon lies like a boat there. That's a sure sign of fair weather." According to the sailors, when the moon is in this position it de notes fine weather; for, to use their phrase, " You might hang your hat upon it." In Liverpool, however, it is con sidered a sign of foul weather, as the mood is now considered to bo like a basin of water about to fall. The Scotch proverb inculcates the following admo nition : The honeymoon is on her back, Jleud yoer uhoes and sort your thack. Whenever a large plauet or largo star is seen near the moon it is said by sea faring men to prognosticate boisterous weather, for, to make use of their term, "A big star is dogging the moon." Some years ago, says a correspondent of Nutvs ami tjHeries, a fisherman ot Torquay told me after a violent gale that he had foreseen the storm, as ho had observed one star ahead of the moon towing her, and another astern chasing her. Manv other superstitious fancies aro associ ated with the moon's supposed influence on the weather, varying, of course, in different localities. Thus a clear moon is generally supposed to augur bright weather in summer and frost in winter. One proverb tells us : If the moon shows a silver shield e not afraid to n ap your Held ; But if she rises haloed round, Soon we'll tread ou deluged ground. In winter time, according to a popu lar adage, C lear moon, frost soon. Church Music In America. As regards general musical culture, the public may be divided into two classes those who go to the theaters and those for whom the church is the social center. In both church and theater the standard of music is a low one. In the church, where, first of all, sincerity should pre vail, and where nothing but healthy food should be given, the music is looked upon as an attraction, and given as an amusement. It is largely operatic, it appeals to the senses only, and it is too often of the sicklv senti mental order. In those churches only wlrch have congregational singing is the sense of what is suitable and de corous not offended. In this criticism I do not include some of tho Pomau Catholic churches. The priest estimates at its full value the power of music over the masses, and co-operates with the organist to pro duce a good musical service. Why can not this be done in tho Protestant churches V Tleasing music need not be trifling or sentimental ; there aro many beautiful works not suited for the concert-room which aro intended for devo tional use. But the greater part of the church music is a sort of catch-work a little piece from this compo ser and another piece from that put together by an amateur. A higher aim ought to be set, if not in the first place because of the art it self (though why this is not a praiso- worthy purpose I do not see); at least for the sake of truth and propriety. Tho most exalted and artistic church service is the proper one. The music which will inspire those feelings which ought to nil the soul of every worshiper is noble, good music not sentimental, not see ular, but lofty and devotional. That this low standard of church music exists is not owing to the want of competent organists, lor we have many of ability, but rather to the fact that they are hampered in their attempts to introduce better musio by the solo singers, as well as by the want of interest on the part of the minister, ard in many cases by the desire of the business committee to "draw" and please the congregation. Theodore Thomar, in Scribner. Paper was first made from linen rags iu 1302; printing invented, 1436; al manacs were tiut printed by Purback in Viecua iu the year 1457; the Bible was first printed at Mertz in 1462; in 1121 the iiibt !rinting press was set up by Caxtou; musical notes were first printed iu 1502; niotal type were first made in niatrljos iu 1162 by Peter Schcefer, at Nuremberg; Albert Purer invented Wvq engraving in 1527, A Pigeon With Cock's Comb. The servant of my grocer, a sharp boy named Joe, told me he had lately seen in the streets a large and hand some pigeon with scarlet-tipped wings, purple tail- feathers, and a small, well shapod comb, like a cock's, upon his head. This was a Btaggerer a pigeon with a cock's comb ! Tho peaks of color in feathers might be accounted for, but tho comb I No, it was impossible; the oolnmbro were too widely distinct from the gallinrr. I questioned the lad. Ho declared it was true, and that he had seon tho bird often. He calculated he knew a pigeon, and he knew what a comb was. This was a fine sleek bird, with a knowing look, and not a bit skoery. If this is true, thought I, I will knock the naturalists endwise. A pigeon with a comb I I must have that bird. I will give him to Mr. Tliornbury as a subject for a lecture. He will go back of Dar win, even. I will wife to Daiwin my self. It will be a favorable opportunity to get an autograph letter; for, of course, the great man will acknowledge my ser vice in the cause of science. " Joe," said I, " if you can catch that bird in a trap alive, I mean, and with out injury I will give you ten dollars." Tho boy's face brightened with a keen intelligence, and he said: " I'll try." I visited Mr. Tliornbury, and gave him the news. Our discussion was animated and long, but it need not be reproduced here. I had stipulated with Joe that, in case ho should catch tho bird, he should take tho trap direct to my friend's house. Meanwhile the piceon had been seen by many persons, and it was noised about in tho grocery and provision stores of tho South end that his phenomenal ornaments had excited great interest among savants. Joe had, moreover, ex patiated upon his expected reward, and had promisod to take his "girl" to tho theater on the strength of it. When at length Joe made the capture, and stalled off with the prize in the grocer's wagon, ho was followed by a curious crowd. I got tho word, aud started also. By the time I arrived there were a dozen persons in the front yard. Joe had already alighted with the box, and taken it iu-doors. Mr. Tooko Tliornbury, in his best blue coat, and with eyes that gleamed behind his huge glasses, stood waiting for the trap to be opened. There the pigeon was, as bright a creature as ever wa seen, with purple tail, scarlet-tipped wings, and a coral comb. The bird ran about the room without fear, but did not choose to be handled. Mr. Tliornbury 's emotion was extreme. " Shades of Hunter and Buffon, of Owen, Agassi, and Aristotle !" he ejaculated. "Am I too to be one of you known to after-times as one of the great co-ordinates in science? The Columba thomburyi shall mark a new era in classification. Now we will see if the director of the Stubbs institute, who has refused to invite me to lecture, will delay longer the acknowledgment of my talents 1" Meanwhile the lively bird kept hop ping alwut, gracefully eluding capture. Mr. Tliornbury was unconscious of the gradually increasing audience, as he talked and meditated by turns. The entry and doorway were filled with eagerly curious folks. There was a slight rustle, then a voice, and quick footstep. A buxom and saucy girl about twelve years of age, in a short dress, and wearing long braids of i yellow hair, rushed in, saying, in a tone th it was like scolding and crying at or."e, " I declare it's too bad ! Billy, j pre ty Billy, come ! Slie held out her hand, and the bird rose on his wings and alighted on her finger. " There ! there ! " she said, sooth inirlv "Troftv Tvillv. Ush rn ! " The bird put his bill to the full red I lips and gave an audible, coo of delight. " Now, Joe Saunders," she said, turn- j ing to the grocer's boy, " you see if you don't catch it ! My pa says there's a law against setting trops for birds in the city. Yes, poor Billy !" she said, caress ing the bird again, " they were going to cut you up" (giving a spiteful glance at Mr. 'Tliornbury), "but they shan't no, they shan't." My feelings went through as many phases as the colors of a dying dolphin. There was a pathetic as well as a comic sido to the scene. The face of Mr. Tliornbury was a study for a picture of vacuity. He was at his wits end. I vent wed to calm the girl's wratn by admiring her pet. " Those are very un usual colors," I said, pointing to the purple and scarlet tips. "Oh, 1 did that," said the girl, gayiy. Papa's carmine ink on the wing feath ers, and violet on ine lau leatners. Aren't they prettv ?" Kiss me, Billy !" But his extraordinary comb ! gasped Mr. Thornlmrv. Here the girl laughed outright, while her merry eyes shone and her fresh color came. " Prettv "ice, isn't it ? I cut it out of red fell. See the nice srithoth ridges just like a real comb ! It's stuck well, han'titV Fish-glue doesn't soak off. Nice Billy !" And tho prettv fiend dandled tho or nithological monster up and down, while ho clung to his perch on her finger, and now and then fluttered his carmine tinted wings and spread his violet tail. V Say cood-bve to the gentleman," said tho girl, mischievously; and away she went. There was not much to be said (from a scientific point of view), and I was in haste to settle with tho grocer's clever boy and be gone. I feared that Mr. Thornbury would be prostrated with the shock, but it is sin gular to observe the elasticity of great minds.1. . Undervood, in Harper's Magazine. A Big Cow.

I received recently a letter from a gentleman in New York, who writes to ask mo if it is a fact that French gen tlemen habitually wear corsets, and he quotes the allusion made by Alphonse Daudet, in the "Nabob," to the white satin corsets of the male guests at the imperial fetes at Compiegne. One passage in his letter is so curious and interesting that I will transcribe it for tho benefit of my readers : "The writer was educated in one of the best private boarding-schools at .Vienna, Austria, re maining there from the age of twelve to that of seventeen. In common with all my fellow-pupils, who were sixty in number, I wore - corsets during the whole of my five years' stay at the school. I was informed by my teacher that Vienese gentlemen, as a mle, wore corsets, and that the discipline was naturally enforced to all their scholars. My stays were very tightly laced, my waist, during my hut year at the school, being but eighteen inches in circumfer ence, yet I never experienced a day's ill ness, and used very much to enjoy the sensation caused by tight lacing. When I left the school I discontinued the practice, partly from the fear of being ridiculed by my friends, and partly be cause it seemed too effeminate a cus tom for a young man engaged in an ac tive business life ; but I have retained sime interest in the matter, and I un d -rstand that many English gentlemen wear corsets, and that the practice of tight lacing among men is, becoming very general in Europe." It is un doubtedly a- fact that a great many English gentlemen wear stays, partic ularly when they ride on hor.ebacb. So general is tho custom becoming that certain corset makers in London now advertise themselves as gentlemen's stay makers. The practice is also quite prevalent in Prussia, particularly among the oflicers of the army. But a stiff and upright carriage is not considered in good taste among the 1'ansian ex quisites, and so the white satin corsets of the dandies of Compiegne have found but few imitators in France.
