Abont $l,- 000,000 worth of Chinese fireworks are rn imported every year, and an equal quan tity is -manufactured here. There are about 400 different branches of American manufacture, ranging from the smallest pin -wheels to the finest exhibition pieces. Some of the grandest displays costs es much as $20,000 for a single exhibition. Chinese fireworks, on which there is a tariff of $1 in gold per box, are brought here mainly by vessels engaged in the tea trade, simply to fill up the cargo. ...The business of manufacturing and selling fireworks is increased immensely in this country within the last five years. There are in Williamsburg, Jersey City and Greenville eight - or tea large manufac tories, and in New York city twelve or fifteen wholesale dealers. Owing to sharp competition in the business, the profits are said to be quite small at the present time. TAM, Swift Rear and their suit attracted touch attention in Philade'. pltia on Saturday.

TUE ODDEST. CONTE.T vet heard of since that between Jim Smilev's fn,g,and an amphibious rival occurred lately in California. On the oth ult. there was an ice match to test the relative virtues of two specimens -of ice—one from Little Grass Valley, the other from the Summit. The blocks, weighing each one hundred and_thirty.one pounds, were placed in the sun, with even chances, the mercury making ninety degrees in the shade. "The Summit chunk," ears the report, " was broad and rather fiat, While the Gnus Valley specimen was longer, and sat on One end." To*ard noon. u the match became hot, and streams of water trinkled down the faces of the antagonists, "there was great excitement among the friends of the respective chunks." and bets ranged from $2 50 to $lOO. The Summit chunk began to have the best of it; Grass Valley showed deep furrows, and " came up groggy," while Summit took the matter coolly, and seemed confident of victory. About the middle 'of the afternoon the friends of Grass Valley threw up the sponge, and went to betting ou how long Summit 'would last. It grew dark before the 'cake was niched, and the match against time had to be continued by the light of lanterns. Summit beat Grace Valley four hours and fifty-five minutes; about $1,500 changing hands on the re sult. . Ar - Pennaylvanin - Trout Poad. At Williamsport, Pennsylvania, there are trout ponds owned by kr. Peter Her. din, which are thus described in the cor respondence of the Baltimore American: "The ponds are situated at the base of a high hill. from which flows 11-11 supply of clear spring water. They are oblong, and about ten feet wide by fifty feet in length, their aides walled up with stone and cement. In one _pond a large stock of trout from one to three yearn old is kept, many of which are eighteen inches in length. They are kept for breeding, and are quite tame, feeding rea dily from the hand- of the keeper. In another pond trout ten Inches in length are kept, while in another little fish scarcely longer than a pin - may be seen slowly moving around. They are all fed twice a day on liver chopped very fine, with an occasional meal of dauber. As tine trout are in the habit of eating both the spawn and young fish, touch care is requisite in raising a stock aucceansfully, and the smaller fish are trans kept sepa rate. The practice of ,'lntripping . the spawn from the old fish is not resorted to here, as immature spawn Is often secured and the fish injured by rough handling, A tank adjoining the breeding trout is kept for tine purport° of spawn ing, and in the fall, when they commence, wooden frames with fine wire work (eight or ten wires to the Inch) ire sunk, in sections, to the bot tom of . the tank. Other frames with coarser wire-work, covered with j pebbles sufficiently large so as not to pass between the wiees are then laid on top - of those first immersed, which gives to the bot tom of the tank the appearance of a, smooth pebbly bottom. The place Ia then made partially dark, and for three- weeks the 'fish deposit their spawn. After -brushing the pebbles away with their tails, the upper wire-work is reached. On this they spawn, replacing the pebbles In the same manner. The spawn, however, has run through the - coarse wire -work, and rests securely on the finer sieve be low. At the end of. the season the sec tions are all taken up and the spawn laid In shallow boxes containing pebbles. -These are placed in a long trough, through which-a current of water la made to run, not, however, strong enough to displace the spawn. Tide continues until the young fish make their appearance, when they are carried down by the water into the pond set apart for their juvenile days. Last slimmer •$.2 per pound was offered for.the large trout contained In theta ponds, and refused. The determi. nation of the owner is to 'raise a supply sufficiently old to take the place of the breeders before commencing to dispose of them. This he expects to be able to do by next summer."

Much has been said in private circler, and the papers have essayed to of. for explanations, congratulations, or condolence, as to each the ocutsien gulled to reimirel Being in a position to know 'emir of the facto in Werence to the matter. we pro. r • pose to enlighten the friends of education by giving a review of the books-144. and leaving every one to draw his Own con clusion as to the merits of the case. A year ago the Central Board introduced into the schools Ouyoes Series of 6 eogra pities and discarded Mitchell's; and their action in so doing wax endorsed by the sincere friends of education; and con sidered a proptessive movement: - The books - adoptitd seem exchanged without cost to the children, by giving the new !stoke for the old, but at a very great ex pense to the 1 - 3 r blishers. The schools were lamefitted. by the change, largely n a financial Benne. for it seemed that all he old books in the,city were gathered up and taken to school to be exchanged f r books entirely now. This point is ImpOrtant,inasmtach us some pervons persist in stating that the children were compelled to purchase new books at it large expense to their parents. The agent of Mitchell's ficographies soon re rovered from the defth\t, and very prompt. lv undertook to regain his lost F,mund. Ile rat trace visited the friends of illson's Headers and proistsed to them' than if they would reconsider the vole of raki, thin he would give votes enough from the friends of Mitchell to secure. the adoption of Willson's whole series in the stead of Osgood's." The bribe was not entertained. No reconsideration was ever imposed. al though the agent gave the Mitsx of the members of the Board tvho were willing to change their votes. . hurl of the th.• Mi their g, Ifo and of cute o. log the past year certain members Board hare been - cultivated - by tchell agent, in hopes of 'winning dinenee. tine of them was sage. several months as JI paid ”yent, course 'was under.an obligation to Frequettland long visite ,nade to other members of the Board. mid friendly retationx established, where here eiisted no previous friend ship. Personal and friendly influences were brought to bear on members, and when cinch measures failed, the Lo m d Boards were importuned to 'instruct" their i embers in the Central Board. Some did instruct, others did not. • Still there ware not votes enough to win and no a last. resort commenced a raid of another charact r which had been ,forshadow. 4.d earl in the contest. Several mem bers o the Board were invited to the agent's nom, some of them ignorant of the object, where there was a proposition nude to form a - combination of forces" by different interests. The matter was considered without curing to a tumid sion. At that time the agent expressed his determination to win, and then said, "lie would give 'Wan hondr,f dollors for fifteen votes." Whn a member of the Hoard remarked, "you should nut tillt eo," he replied, "I mean business and will give that amount to secure the Adoptionof my books." The same agent remark.' that he.could control at least two .membera of the Board, and money would do it. One of those two had n proposition made, to give him money "if he would vote for Mitchell's books, and the person agreed to furnish the money in tics minutes." fle declined the offer. Another ear ••atet" by a friend and invited to take a Klaus of '••lagre. Whlea invitation was accepted, land they went for it; during the interview "greetv buckle' of the denreatinettort Ws Avow the the member. lie does not keow the amount, as he did not count the hills, but when he asked what it was for, be re ceived for an answer: "I want you to vote for 3fitchelfs Geographies, so that my children may have the benefit of them in the schools." The offer wan indignantly refused. Another member was Interviewed by a friend and asked "if he ]red touch preler ence for Geographies." 'lle replied "not much," "Then if *209 will be an object, you can have - that aniount if you will vote for Mitchell." The meniber of the Board replied -that that amount of money would be an object and the other individual said be woldd go and get it for him. Be Hid not -gone long, however, when the member started after hint and informed him that what be had mid dor. ins the interview; he had said by var.; of a joke, and thakkf he were to accept money for his vote he "could never loqk an honest man in the face." Another member was of. feted ten dollars a day and expenses to make a trip to Minnesota, ostensible to look after a land claiw, 80 !LEI to be absent when the Board held its last session. But one member of the Board was absent, and he will doubtless vindicate by ex• plajning the causes of his absencerat ouch a clqtical . moment. All the foregoing instances of offers the writer ban "first handed," but there is still another that' comes second handed, and yet is doubtless true beyond a question. One of the tnemben; has some presein political, aspirations, and it is alleged theta politician approached him and. said that "if he would vote Mitchell the friends of that work Would spend $1.500 to se curs his election." The proposition wan declined. How much more of Otis dishonor "hie work has been done God only knows. Has any member been bought by money or other cousiderolions is now the leading question. The teachers who know Mitch ell's Geographies too well, and have been using Guyot's during the present school year, are about ten to one ira • favor of Uuyot. What then has produced this counter opinion In the Board of Education? The writer, who never "receives anything on the square," knows that the square "has been an instrument with which a good deal of the work has been done, and some of it will not bear the light of haves tigation." It is said by the Mitchell friends that no credence should be given to the state ments that considerations • have been of. fered, inasmuch as the names of the par ties making the offers are withheld; but 'every one known that in such cases some intimate friend is chosen as the instru ment, and to expose the person is to break the friendship, and, perhaps, involve a suit at court for making an attempt to bribe. Who is desirous of such notoriety? There are many other things we might say, but will postpone them • for - the present. Is 'it any. wonder that the Central-Board should be censured or crit icised: when its members, or- some . of them, are so inconsistent in their conduct? Have none of them stultified themselves -by their record? Have none of them violated sacred promises or disappointed theArusting hopeb of their constituents? Have local influences, local interests, local pressure, 'warped the judgment or swerved the purpose of none? Have ma ture consideration and honest convictions decided the cause? If all these ipterrog. atorien can be inewered by each : member of the Board, in a manner satisfactory to his constituents and his own conscience, then let the verdict be recorded; if not, time will right the offence, and "troth crushed to earth will rise again." A ornotimmonnmzer furnishes the Knox. ville (Tenn) Press and Herald with the following piece of natural history: "One day last week. James M. Laymance and his eon were making rails of a large Spanish oak, about four feet through; when opening the butt cut a toad frog wanfound in the heart of the log, and about five feet from the 'dump end. A perfect bed was formed in the log, where the frog lay, but there was no hollow, wind shake or worm-hole in the log, which was perfectly sound and very hard.", VICTOR HOOO Is said to be about to mar ry a young lady of Brussels, who Is re ported to be very beautiful, and worth one hundred thousand- guilders.
