The Harvest of the Sea.

Men of science whose opinions are entitled to the highest respect believe that the harvest of the sea is inexhaustible ; whatever the stupidity and watse of man’s garnering, the yield will not be affected. But this view is essentially empiric. The proof of an exception in a case like this upsets the rule altogether. Mr. John Ridley, Chairman of the Tyne Salmon Conservancy, writes to a London paper against the theory of the savants, and gives evidence to the purpose. He sees boat-loads of undersized herring brought into North Shields quay fit only for manure, and on his way thither he passes the fishwives of Cullercoats going to buy in the market because tho husbands can get no fish in their own waters. They live by taking salmon, an occupation that would have ceased long before this on the Tyne but for legislation. —London Telegraph. One Hun.ibkd and Thirteen Milks of Organs.—ln numbering the organs of their manufacture, Mason & Hamlin have reached No. 150,000. Arranged in a line these would reach one hundred and thirteen miles, or would fence the railroad on one side from the Grand Central Station in New York to within twenty mile 3of Springfield, Mass. Not only does this show the great popularity of American organs, but it illustrates what was declared by James Parton to be a general fact, that ho who makes the best articlojn his line always has the greatest success. We’ understand that the Mason & Hamlin Company’s new Upright Piatffi is now command ng a large sale, and is, in every way, up to the standard-of their unrivaled organs. We predict a large success tot this piano, which is constructed on a new system, said to be a decided advance over the prevailing wrest-pin system. —Bouton Journal.
