OF late thousands of carp, shad, pickerel and other fish have been dying in some of the Connecticut rivers. At first the cause of their taking off was a mystery, but it is now believed that puis green, used for the purpose of killing potato bugs, and washed by the heavy rains from the valley farms Into the rivers, is the cause of the trouble.

THK yellow iever is still making headway. At Grenada, Miss., there are over 125 oases and the fever has assumed a 1 4 malignant type. Most of the white In* habitants have left the plaoe. At New

Orleans 135 new cases were reported on Thursday, and 20 deaths. The weather -, is showery and unfavorable for the siek.

In Memphis there ate quite a number o/ cases and the people are fleeing from the city by hundreds. The disease seems to be making its way northward and the river cities are all iu dread of it.

PROPOSALS for building the State House were openedjby the Commissioners on Thursday last. Thirty-one bids were presented, ranging from 91,611,67&05 to 92,114,714.13 for the entire oontract. Some of the bids were only on parts of the work. The lowest bid for the entire work was that of Kanemaoher A Denlg, of Oolumbus, Ohio, who bear good reputation. Before letting the contract the Commissioners will go over the bids In detail and see whether the work can be doiie cheapest as an entire«iy or by paroeling it out among a number of contractors.

A NBW YORK judge, gives it as his opinion that the crime of penury is greatly on the increase in that city and believesthat the modern method of administering oaths has much to do with it. In former times an oath was administered with becoming solemnity, every word being uttered with impressive de liberation and all other business was suspended during the ceremony. The mumbling performance that is now-gone thrnyigh with is mere burlesque and mockery. It is an empty form without meaning or impresslveness. If this is true of the Eastern courts it is even worse, if possible, in the West, and the matter is well worth the serious attention of Judges andoflaoerp^fthe Jaw.

THK New York Sun calls attencton to the fact that during the business depression of the past five years no branch of productive industry has suffered less than that of stock raising. The risks attending it are fewer than those Incidental to the growing of grain, ready markets are always at command^ and proflts are generally more satisfactory. The production of cattl*, hogs and sheep in this country is constantly increasing, while in Great Britain there has been an actual decrease of nearly two per cent, in the past ten years. The exports of stock from this country to Europe are growing larger year by year. There is no plessanter kind of business than stock raising and it promises success for all time to come.

REV. DR. NXWMAN, who was the pastor and intimate friend of General Grant during his residence in Washington, has been Interviewed by an Inter-Ocean reporter concerning the General's candi daoy in 1880. Mr. Newman says that Grant, has a prodigious memory and that when he returns from bis travels abroad he will be the beat informed man in Amerioa upon the manners and institutions of foreign countries, He thinks that while Grant does not cars &> be president again, and. will do nothing to bring. it about yet he would not refuse if any emergency ahould arise and the people demanded his serVibga. "His administrator," continued the Doctor, "would be Oh« tey6nd comparison with that of any predecessor,' in view of his observations abroad in addition to the eminent fitness of the msn previously."

THJs Exprees has been making some singular disooveries of lata but one of the most singular was that announoed yesterday morning, namely, that when the balauqe of trade, 4a in favor of this oountry it Is a sure sign of industrial depression, and, the larger the balance the greater the depression. Thstis to say, when thia country sends abroad 9260,000,000 worth of products mottt than

Imports from foreign countries, that fecit %hc^ ^Pontry is prod Doing less than it Is when more goods sre imported than art exported! Facta like these show what a nation of Idiots we are for while all our stateemsn, Bepubliean, Democratic and Greenback alike have been prooiaimlng that the balance of trade in our favor la a good thing and mail be iMieased, thi E^is suddenly £vioka the ctoltision and shows that it Is the worstHiing that oould happen us. We shall noi be surprised if the next political law discovered by the Expreas shall bo thai production dosa not- produos.

A nw dayS sgo a telegram from Louisville aonouuoed that a woman from New Orleans had been taken from the oars iu that city, aidt with the yellow fever and had been sent to the hospital. A letter from a prominent physician of Louisville states that the woman was taken to the hospital, examined by a physician, and declared a serious case of yellow fever. She was treated with the most stringent remedies Mid dosed every two hours her clothing and baggage were fumigated, and there was great excitement over the matter. 8hewa» kept Isolated in the hospital several d^yn, and seemed to grow no better and no worse, except that her excitement increassd, and her ravings In French oOntinned. The French Consul was finally sent for and, altar a few mOmsotls conversation, discovered that she was not sick at all, but simply could not understand English and was in a state of great mental excitement over the accidental death of her nephew, who had been killed by the cars, and the remarkable treatment ahe had reoeived from what ahe supposed was a gang of bandits. &>e was finally released and sent on her way with her nephew's body. Moral: don't allow yourself to be acared into theyellow fever or any other disease.

IT 'TfeRE HltJTE MAIL

Fnincua vfewn differ very widely. Tbose who believe an expanaion of the currency necessary to prosperity assert that the resumption Ofspede paymenta is impossible, or at least highly impnMv Hrtahiw. On the other Band the Chicago Inter-Ocean, which is a greenback .paper and opposed the xeiBumptianlaw and advocated its repeal, Is now in favor of coming to specie payments, for thi reason that if gold, silver and paper become of equal valoes the hoarded aped* will be released and will enter into the circulation of the country, increasing Its volume by from two tct foot hundred millions. Thus would resumption, the Inter-Ocean argues, bis the speediest road to expansion. But if the resumption theory is wrong, then the quickest way of demonstrating the errbr is to come squarely to the test

THE annual increase in com and wheat production in Ksnsav is really wOndpffttl. A statement prepared by the State Board of Apiculture shows that the aggregate yield of wheat innine count|ea, which seven years ago were unbroken prairies, is over 8,000,000 bushels* and of corn nearly 11,000,000 bushels, Emigrants are. pouring into the State by thousands every week. During the year ending with the 1st of August, about two million acres ofGov^rnmentlan,d had-been entered, and the increase of population is estimated as high as 150,000. This shows that the overflbw|ng towns and cities of the older, States aresendiii&theirBurplus population westward where land is cheap and plenty.. it is healthy sign and shows that the copntry is coming out of its abnormal condition.

A PETITION signed by many prominent citizens of this place has been forwarded to the State House COttimiision era, askiug them to postpone the letting of the contract for the building until the meeting of the next legislature, inoj-der that the question may bo made an issue of the campaign and be directly submit ted to the people Have the signers of that petition inquired whether the .Commissloners hlfce any right to postpone proceedings until the next Legislature meets They are acting by Virtue of a law passed by the last Legislature and under that lawlB it not their dnt)r to proceed with the erection of a Statfe house building With, all reasonable dispatch In other words, if tl^e-Legislature -of 1875-6 acted in the matter without authority from the people can the Commissioners take notice of the error of the law makers or must they go straight ahead until the authority given theiq is revoked or modified^ by a subs^qi|en Legislature?

THE O&EIDA OOMM UNIT¥.

It is now thirty yean since John Humphrey Noyes established his community of free-lovers at Oneida, New York. It wastbe^work of a^fanatic who believed in the ultimate perfectibility of the human race, and that this was the Way to accomplish it. He gathered about him a'number of men and women, enthusiasts llke himself, who were to hold'all things in oomuHMi. There was to be no marriage and no idea of family. There was to be eommnnity of women as well as of goods and the sexes were to be placed on an absolute equality, so fe^as sodal and business relations were' &n6ferheid. The founder of this strange society taught that afMritulkr intercourse with God might proceed so far in this life lis to destroy sll selfishness, and so make an end of sin, and he hoped that his community might In good time demonstrate thatmen and women could live unselfish and sinless lives.

As might be ekj»ected, tbe oommunity was subjected to mnoh misrepresentation and the members charged with living licentious lives andindulgingln immoral practioea, in tbename of religion. Noyes answered these charges by various published articles and, while admitting what the world would call loose re* lations between the sexes, maintained that all the practices of the community were those of pure.and thoughtful me and women.

At first the society was poor and underwent many trials. The members bnilt their own hottsss .and cleared 4hf®r lands, the men and women working together. Being Industrious and attentlve to btmnees, however, they gradually prospered and now the property and bulidlngs ars vfdued ,at 9750,000., The oommunity no# numbers 306 members, of whom 146 are males and 161, females. Making an equal division of the aggregate property among them, each would be worth 92,450. The farms are iu good condition and well stocked with horses and cattle. For many years no children were born In the oommunity but now there are about 60 under fourteen yean of ago.

Though messursably sucoeinful, ss the above flaota ahow, the Oneida experiment is not likely to prove an ultimate suc-

Ek The founder of the society is now an old man. Many of his original associates are dead and he has no longer the power over the members that he once exercised. Beading and thinking for themselves the younger members eeaae to reverence the teachings of their seer and aaany of them have become dissenters from his doetrinea. Even his son is said to be numbered among the diseentets. Ssrious differences are reported to exist in the community and many members have already left it. It la more than probable that after the founder of the colony dies the society win fell to uses, as did the femons Brook Farm oommunity, and the members will take their normal placee in the soaial world. Tbe feiluie of sll such experiments, even when tried under the most fevorabie circumstances, should sufficiently teach that no dvillxed society which ignores the family Idea can long endure.

THE treasury department proposes to try tbe experiment of shipping coin by mail in order to save the cost of transportation, and will aend seven millions in gold from San Frandaoo to New York In four-pound packages, which la the heaviest package that can'be carried by mall. This will make about one thousand dollars to the package. The whole quantity will weigh about fourteen tons «md require two cars to transport it.

DR. LIXDRRMAN, Director of tbe Mint, hss issued a circular stating that the trade dollars are, worth but ninety cents. This is because they are not legal tender and are only worth their bullion value, They were coined specifically for trade With Chlna, where the Mexican dollars weiro in great favor because they contained more siWer than the United States legal tender dollar. The trade dollar was therefore made to contain 420 grains of silver, while the Mexican dollar has but 417# grains. While the trade dollar has more silver In it than |he stendarti .Bilyer dollar, it Is Worth ten cents less because of its non-legal tender quality.' The effect of Dr. Llnderman's circular will be to drive the trade'dollara out of circulation and call out the new silver dollars which have been accumulating In tbe Treasury, and fofr wMch there has' been scarcely any demand.

WHO LAND ^MONOPOLISTS ABE.

Chicago Tribune.

Since Dennis Kesrney has gone to Boston to howl "Down with ltmd monopolists," it may not, be out of place to ascertain how. many of that -class of "blood-suckers," as he calls them,.there are in Illinois. According to 'tne national census tables we find this State •WaS divided into farms as follows: In 1850 there were 76,208 farms, averaging 158 acroa each. In 1860 there were 143,310 farms, averaging 145 acres each. In 1870 there. were 202,893 farms, averag ingi28.acres each. In 1878 we may esti mate 220,09Q farms, averaging 120 acres each In 1870 there were 3,552 pieces of cultivated land containing over 3 and under 10 acres, belonging to gardeners and fruit-growers 10,229 pieces over 10 apd under 20 acres 68,240 pieces over .20 and under 50 acres 68,130 tracts over 50 and under 100 acres, being mostly 80acre farms 65^940 over 100 and under 500 acres, being mostly 160-acre farms 1,367 tracts: containing over 500 and under 1,000 acres, and 302 traots containing over 1,000 acres each. See how the number of farms exceeding over 500 acres dropped down as compared with the class which contains the 160 and the 10 acre farms. The total number of persons who actually worked those 201,803 farms In 1870 was 876,441. This force consists of the termers and their sons and the hired men. The number of hired men was probably not one-twentieth part of the Whole—the other nineteen twentletbs being the fermet* and their boys. Kearney will have an interesting time when he tramps" over Illinois preaching "Down with the land monopolists." We would like to see htm addressing a crowd of grabger land-mohopolfete, and saying to them what he said of them to the Boston hoodlums—namely: Never compromise. Get these thieving capitalists into a corral, and, when you've got 'em corraled, grind 'em!" It is these "thieving

WKo don't

believe in any eight-hour laws, or ten hour*', ply far eight hours* work, or malntaffilug of penitentiary oonvlots in idleness at public expense. When Kearney "gets 'em corraled," let him undertake tol*ll hiscat.

A MAN OF NEB VE.

Iralner of wild auimals must be a man of iron nerve, and never show the slightest fear, jfc trainer,-long at tbe business, told the fpllowlng pxperience foa reporter: V*

Of course have been chewed up some, man in my line of business hss to make up his mind to that. See, both my artris'and hands afe-rfp^ed and scarred. When I was with that branch show of Meyer'a circus, in France, I was bitten three, times in two months pretty badly, too. It almost discouraged me.

Once 4 lion bit my left arm through the wrist—making that soar—tore four deep gashes In my right arm with his claws, scored same deep furrows down my buck, and in tbe fight tore everything off me except part of my trousers. jjTbe blood just poucea from met but I got a heavy Iron club psseed in to me, and belted that lionuntil be was thorwas

Theyaont bite until they sink their -daws in, so look out to break loose quick, no matter how deep they clutch yon.

MEALTIMES.

A little more formality In serving the family meals wouldn't harm some households. There is no need of saving all the "company manners" for company if you do, the children, at least, will probably be found wanting when tbe occasion comes. We rather enjoyed hearing, recently, of ttm punctiliousness sa to dress and deportment, with which certain college chums are went to grace their dinners together, once a weekFull dress suits, a carefully spread board, silent and attentive waiters, courtesies toward each other such as the moat polite society demands the aMthetics of dining are thus kept np in an laolated life that leaves so many young fellows mannerless. Many preachments have been directed to teaching the neoessityof cheerfulness and contentment et mtrait It csnnot be too oftenenforced. Tbe wisdom, on purely physical grounds, of tranqnil. mind at me*l tlmea, Is AS old as Bacon, in our language, and as ancient as the patriarchs in practice. Tbe time given to tbe table ought to be doubled in many femiUes, and the cbesrfulness, good nature and domestic conversation increased in a like ratio.

THE TRADE DOLLABIV Indianapolis News. There is some consternation on a small scale at Dr. LIhderman's announcement that the bullion value of four hundred and twenty grains of silver (the amount in a trade dollar) is ninety cents. This is a statement of fact over which neither Dr. Llndermann nor the holder of a trade dollar has any control. When the trade dollar was first coined it was worth more than its face—from five to ten oents, perhaps. There was no complsint at that. Now it is worth ten cents lees than its face, and there is great outcry. The advocates of tbe bussard dollar now have a foretaste of the beauty of forcing eighty-eight cents worth of silver to pass for one hundred cents—and imagination may be left to cope With the result of trying to make a worthless piece of paper pass for one hundred cents. Thev have made the buzsard dOUar a legal tender and can pay their taxes and government dues with it, at the value of. one hundred cents, but how long will the grocer or^tatlor take it for one hundred cents! Tradesmen may at any time get tired of selling a dollar's worth of goods for 88 cents, and may refuse to do it—that is may put the price of the dol lar's worth of goods at $1.25. buzzard measurement. Thus we are beginning to see the resultsof the Jack Cade policy which declared the three hOOpea, pot should have seven hoops THE FINDING OF THE PHONO-

While experimenting on an automatic transmitter in the early, part of last winter, aays-a writer in the Popular Science Monthly, Mr. Edisou tried the tin foil instead of paper, to receive the indentations of the Morse recorder, and wss surprised to see how readily it reoeived them. These indentations, passing under another needle, were to repeat tbe messsge automatically to another, wire* A few days after, while handling a tele-

Then he wondered what sort of an indentation this would make in a Blip of paper. He tried it and, sure, enough, there was the semblance of an indented .track I What would be the effect of drawing tbia slip under the point again, following the working of the automatic, transmitter? fie tried that, and the result was one which almost made him wild.

AMBITION.

Washington Star, 't'5

A-member of congress from the west called on Secretary Thompson the other day. They had along talk and being old friends drllted into politics. While on this subject tbe seoretary said: "Do you know I have but one political ambition "What is that," inquired tbe visitor. "Do you want to be a presidential candidate?" "No indeed," replied the seoretary. "I have not the slightest ambition in that direction." "Do you want to come back to congress?" "TheLord forbid! I have served as longin that body aa I desire to." "What office do you long for, then f" asked the congressman. "I'll tell you. Ton see during my life I have run for inspector of public roads in my county *t least twenty timee, and every time I have been beaten woefully. Now, I want to go out there and before I die secure that office In spite of sll opposition.

DEATH ON A MOUNTAIN PEAK. Stephen Ryder's fatal ascent of tbe Mlsti, in South America, la described by tbe indlsn guides who recovered his body, He bad twice made the ascent, but was anxious te descend on the other side, a feat never attempted except by the Indiana. In making the ascent a young companion got very sick, and Ryder, waited with him, thus not reaching.ifc% crater, until half-past, three, at which ilme It was hazardous to make the desoent, because night comes on early. They were traced in their desoent to a spot where rocks and precipices caused them to turn back, when, no donbt, darkness overtook them, and they together fell over the precipice where the body was found. They had no remedy but to attempt tbe desoent even in darkness, .for to sit down was to fall asleep not to wake again. Tbe spot at which the body waa found Is considerably, higher than the summit of Mont Blanc. At that elevation it Is not possible to eat, hardly to speak. It is probable that Ryder, stunned by his fall, sat down and fell asleep, and so died before sunrise.

I THE TRAMP NX7ISANCE.

Cincinnati Commercial.

The people are beginning to realisethat they must do something to abate the tramp nnisance. It is evident it will not abate itself. The tramps have per-

There are said to be fivethow- i\ sand of these traveling beggar* in Wisoonsin—great, hearty, stalwart men, who are so completely demoralized that rather than worx they will steal and commit all sorts of depredations. Near Madison it was reoently found necessary to call out the military to break up their bands. Fifty were captured and sen- v-v tenced to break atones on the public streets*
