Charleston, 8. C., Jan. 7. —Capt. Hub
ird, of tbe steamer Planter plying be
veen this port and Georgetown, relates
strange occurrence. He states that tbe
acb for tdirty miles between Polly’s
land and Little river, in this State, is
vered to the depth ol over a foot with
ad fish, mostly menhaden or porgles.
ie phenomenon was first discovered last
jrk. Tae fish could hardly have
eu ki l"d by tbe cold as the cold
vp did not ri acb this State until
lesday of ihis week. It is thought that
sv may uave been killed by some vol
nio or siesmic disturbance at sea. The
habitants for mres in the interior are
ring and building boats and ve.deles,
and are hauling tbe dead fib to their
rms to be used for fertilizing purposes,
icb an occurrence hae never before been
lown on this coast.

SENATOK JONES EJACUL VTOIIY
He Says Ho is Roing Hack 10 Wash

F"ram th * .Veto Y irk Hera’d
Detroit, Mich., Jan.s.—Senator Jones
interviewed him-elf to-day. He was
paciug tue Kussell House ollice and leav
ing a black trail of Havana smoke behind
him. Over in the corner a small group of
newspaper men were watching him. Sud
denly the Senator bore down on the group
and without any preliminary, said:
‘•Yes; 1 led wail.
“1 am resting preparatory to going
back to my place at Washington.
‘•1 feel very comfortable after my din
ner.
“People say I’m orszy.
“Th' re was Senator Sharon, who served
six months only at Washington, went
back West and nev. r returned. He got
enough oi it quicker than the most of us.
He drew his salary right along just tne
same.
“ t’ue newspapers didn’t say he was
crazy.
“Aud there was Cameron, too. He did
the same thing, lie drove through Eng
land with a coach and four, and w as gone
for months.
“T hey didn’t call him Insane. The Penn
sylvnofo papers didn’t say he was crazy.
“But I am.
“Nobody Is crazy but me.
“I’m going hack in a few days.
“1 suppose they’ll call me crazy if 1 go
back.”
Then the Senator turned on his heel and
went up 6tairs to his room. He is look
ag well. T-iere is considerable more of
a rotunda under his waistband than for
merly, ms idleness here Having been con
ducive to a very prominent development
of abdomen. He has grown thinner in
be legs and shallower in the cheeks.
Reports sent from here about the Sena
tor’s terrible drinking bouts are abso
lutely untrue. He is quite tempeiate,
much more so than many local states
men.
Ijistcniiiß 10 Davy Crockett.
Fro * the Brooklyn M <g isme %
No quieter or more gentlemanly person
did 1 ever meet than Pav:,d Crockett.
11* came slowly lounging into the vener
able office of the National Intelligencer
mie severe wlnti-r afternoon, when and
where I was industriously warming my
little boy body all round tbe small, square
stove.
T here was a vacant chair near me. He
took it with solemn deliberation. Then
over the flat stove top he extended his big
rough hands.
“Cold.” he said. Nothing more for a
long while.
I looked up at him—looked intently; for
this was an uncommon comer. A large
form—to my boyish Idea gigantic—a
reat, strange head, down either side of
which, from a middle parting, fell long
black hair. Something savage about
mm. yet a most gentle savage, as if he
could fondle a baby, pet a pus*, and even
cry very heartily, beiug moved by proper
circumstances.
My fainer, present, of course, for he
“belonged to the nflice.” observing my
amazement, found opportunity to wnis
per in my ear, “David Crockett.”
1 knew a few tilings about the famous
man—knew that his life had been a ro
nance surpassing tbe imaginings of any
poet or novelisi—knew, and what so sur
prising as this?—that be was now a mem
-er of Congress. Indeed, 1 had beam
read at tbe breakfast table some of the
“b’ar stories” with which he frequently
amused, convulsed, and convinced the
‘H 'Use.’’
I saw David Crockett.
Presently 1 felt David Crockett. His
big right baud, gliding away from the hot
smve-plaie, chose to rest itseif lovingly
among the curls of my hair.
“You never met a b’ar?” remarked
Davy; “in course vou never?”
I acknowledged my total unacquaint
ance.
“ iVou'd like to?”
“Ceriainly.”
“Don’t kuow. Better hear about ’em
tirst.”
"I’d be glad to hear, then.”
“S > you shall, my boy. I’ll tell you a
story of one I seed once’t.”
I was charmed with tbe anticipation.
He would have begun it immediately, but
several “members,” Senators and others
ttia: moment entered tne office.
Their busiut hs soon over, they still lin
gered, for a whisper bad stolen ainonz
mem, and more ch urs were brought up
to the lir , and an expectant circle un
expectedly resulted.
“1 was going to tell this lad a b’ar
story,” resumed Davy, when every voice
io ei rupted him with,
“Tell ill tell it! We all wish to bear
11 !”
He complii and. Listening, that afternoon,
proved my chief enjoyment of life, to
laie. Listening seemed to prove a simi
ar sensation to every person ol the
group. It was a grand excitement just
to listen. Whatever was related we saw.
We lived along the remarkable incidents
irom word to word. Who, of mortals.
*ave David Crockett, could display such
vivid power—could so wield thunder and
lightning? Yet it was not altogether ter
ror. Comical situations were introduced.
We were eager, we were alarmed, we
were suddenly in most violent paroxysms
of laughter.

Mayor Harrison relates an interesting
incident connected with bis first Ciiri*t
mas away from home. In Kentucky,
wiieie he was reared, Christmas, as wed

with much merry-making, aided, in the
humblest as well as in tbe wealthiest
homes, bv a liberal supply of eggnog.

Kentucky beverage. Mr. Harrison was
an exp rt in preparing the mixture, and

situation became critical, but Mr. Harri

Of all the queer devices pertaining to a

with a clock work that would mourn

i I'iie bell was undercover, but projecting
from the bouse was a long, niceiy
i balanced lever with a big sponge on the
: °ut end. There was a little roof over the
: sponge to keep the rain off, but when a
fog came on the moisture would saturate
the sponge, and the weight bearing the
lever down would start the machine and
set the bell to tolling. If the fog soon dis.
appeared, the sponge dried out and the
lever stopped ihebell.
In 1799 the population oi Spain scarcely
reached 10.000.000, but at the end of 1882
it exceeded 18,000,000, this being tanta
mount to an increase of 8 40 per 1,000 in
habitants every year. Tne agricultural
population, which was only 3,615,000
1 eighiy-tive years ago, is now 9,328,000, and
, Ihe ar* a uud r cultivation has increased
i trom 53,000,000 to 193 750.000 acres, while
there are now 88,000,000 head of cattle as
against just half that number at the be
ginning of the century. The industrial
population of Spaiu has risen from 2,035.-
; 000 to 3,038,000, and the number or manu
factories, etc.,'from 888 io 13,911. The
trade of tne country has increased in pro
portion, the progress during the last
twenty-five years being particularly re
markable, as, while the imports and ex
ports together amounted to onlv £25,8110,-
000 in 1800, they have been gradually in
creasing and tow reach £56 000,000. The
increase extends to all branches of trade,
for while Spain now produces 461,256,000
gallons of wine, of which about ttvo
loird* are consumed In the country and
tue remainder is exported, her railway
