A Vienna apeeial to the Standard re ports that most of the papers agree that the negotiations relative to the protocol ere not yet hopeless. Tbe Post publishes the following in en official form: “There is no good reason for believing that the Cabinet, to-d*y*»ill meet under e oondition of affairs mnoh altered sinoe their lut oonneil.

UorrMpondanoe of the Philadelphia Time..] Washington, Meroh 22.—Secretary of tbe Navy Thompson is turning ont to be tbe wag of the Cabinet, The other day when asked, et e dinner given to the Cabinot, as to whet wm the proper poiut on e ship from whioh to fly the Amerioan flag, he deftly turned the joke et hia expense whioh the question implied by referring this question of lew to the Attorney Gan erel. So also, when he called for the volnminons report of the Honae Commit tee on Naval Altars upon assuming the praotiosl duties of hia offioa, he said, in answer to an objection to the aiae of the book : “If I Mil tbe ooean, I mast have ohart," ohuekling as he thought that ell bo knew about the navy wm derived from tbe soows on the wild waters of the Wa bash. Now tbis story ia told abont him freshly to-dsy: Years ago Secretary Thompson was in Congress with ex-Governor John Letoher, of Virginia. They were warm friends, and ou one oooasion the punoh wm so good and tha last rubber wm ao long in oomlug that their speotaolM got mixed, and Letcher carried off Thompson's and vice versa. The intervening yean have now poHsed, and Mr. Thompson is Score- tar; of the Navy and Gov. Letohar ia a distinguished member of the Virginia Legislature. A few days ego Congress man Goode, of the Norfolk dietriot, called on the Seoreterv in relation to the revival of bosincM at the Norfolk navy yard, and when the pnrpoee of the interview was attended to, Mr. Thompson ioqnirod for his old friend end jocularly remarked: “If Letcher doeB'nt come to see me end re- tarn those apect&oleB, I'U send Col. Jim Forney end e file of marine! after him.” (“Colonel Jim,” be it known to Philadel phians, is the son of Col. John W. For ney, of tbo Press, and is now stationed et the Norfolk navy-yard. He oame very near getting the fet berth made vsoent by Paymaster Cash's death the other day, bnt Hayes, who is just now petting the Southern men, pnt aside Morton’s son John in civil life, and yoang Forney, who ought to bsve bad it for his oonepio- uous ssrvioe in tbe Marine Corps, end gave the plnm to Green Clay Goodloe, who is engaged to Miss Bektie Beak, daughter of Senator Beck. Letoher is reported to have said, upon hearing of the meosBge of Secretary Thompson: “Now don't let the newspaper fellow* tell in the papers that I know Thompson. If yon do I'll have a million of ap|moetions from people to reoommend them to office. “Honest John,” m he is celled must be willing to share tbe fate of thoee who know “greet men." him. The filibusters had it in their pow er to delay the count, end thus defeat the inauguration of Mr. Hayes, and they per mitted the oount only to proceed on tbe promise of the friends of Mr. Hayes, au thorized by Mr. Hayee himself, that tbe Niebolls and Hampton Governments should meet with no bindranoe.” The Times does not give the name, but vonohM for its correctness. R. B. H. Tibed or Pebsistent Office Beooars.—President Hayes is beginning to get tired of the persistent office beg gars of CongroMinen.

He goes srouud growling and whiuiug like boar with a sore head. He has refused to oall upon tho President sinoe the insu guration, declaring that as long as be bss been in Congress, no President has pre sumed to outer upon tbe duties of bis of floe without consulting him—liosooe, tbe elegant!—as to tbe polioy to be pursued by his Administration. He refuses to speak of Mr. Hayes as tbe President, but oontomptuonsly alludes to him as “tbet man," and declares that bis self-respect will not permit him to see “that man” until he is sent for and invited to asRume confidential (and dicta torial) relations with tbe Administration. He refuses to indorse any of the numerous New York applicants for offloe, or to give them even a letter of commendation, de claring that, if be eau not control the New York patronage himself, he will give no advice regarding its disposal.

It wonld seem that be mast have had some apprehension of Mr. Hayes’ course, for just before Grant retired, Conkling induced him to make some iin- 1 portent obanges in tbe New York offloes, whereby some of Mr. Conkling's speoial friends were provided for. Others were waiting for Hayes to ooma in, relying upon Conkling to “run him" as ho had Grant, SDd delaying tbeir ap plications till after the inauguration. They now find that Mr. Conkling does not oarry all tbe offices in his poaket es formerly, and that, beiug in an ill humor bis influence is nil.

He behaves like an aggrieved school boy who ia too small to liek his lescher and just a trifle too large to be sp'uked with ease.

New Ohlkans, March 24.—Tbe Times publishes au interview with (it says) a prominent Conservative, who is supp <sed to know not only tbe sentiments of tbe President and bis Cabinet with regard to tbe Louiaiaaa case, but also to be in tbe oonfideuce of Governor NiebollR, sod his advisers. In answer to a question, he said: Of course I do not know positively the reasun which determined tbe Cabinet npon sending a commission ; but from wbst I know of tbis whole business, I think I can give a very close gness. For a long time llayes has not been in full accord with tbe Republican party in mat ters relating to the Suutb. His idea was that some policy ought to be adopted which would bring to the support of tbe Republican party the native wbite repre sentative people of tbe South, aud wbiob would break up the oolor line. I think bo bad this idea ia his mind when be wrote his letter accepting the Presidential nomination. Of course be did Dot bave in bis mind tbs details of tbis polioy, or hew in tbe event of bis election he would oarry it out. Before he bud beoamo Pres ident, bowover, events occurred whioh oompellod him to give a deoided expres sion to his views, aud to particularize some of tbe more important features of his polioy. Ho was even eompolled to promise that if he were permitted to reach tbe Presidency, through tbe Electo ral Commission, he would not allow the troops to perform police duty in tbe Southern States, and that the conserva tive governments in Louisiana and South Carolina should be allowed to exeroise tbeir authority witbout any bindranoe from him. It mast nut be supposed tbet these promises were mode voluntarily. On tbe oontrary, they were extorted from FlekltaE in Ctalnn. The Ohinaee, among their many origi nal ideas, have some curious ones on the ■objeot, and donbtieM fish now as they did a thousand years ago; and though on the eoMta they may bsve adopted the generally aooepted system of working nets, on tbe waters in the interior of the coun try they adhere to the methods peouliar to tbeir own nation—methods qneint end ourione. The lakes end rivers of Chins, and especially of tbe north, ere ao abund antly atooked with fish that in some places tbe men oelled Aah-oetohers make their living by aotually seizing and draw ing them ont with their hands.

Gatohing fish in tbis manner ie of coarse a trade in itself, end the plentiful snpply it impliM is some what explained by tbe fact that even tbe little ponds of northern China swarm with scaly life.

Another ourione method employed by the Ohinese is generally praetioed at night, and depends upon a peouliar power which a white soreeu stretohed under the water seems to possess over the fishes, decoying them to it and making them leap. A man, sitting at the stern of a long narrow boat, steers her with a paddle to the twiddle of the rivor, and there stops. Along the right baud cide of his boat a narrow sheet of white can vas is stretched : when he leaus to that side it dips under the surface, and if it be a moonlit night gleams throngh the water. Along the other side of the boat a net is fastened so as to form a barrier two or three feet high. Tbe boatman keeps perfectly still. If another boat passes by he will not speak : he is only impatient at the slight breaking of the silenoe. While he keeps thns without a sound or stir, the fish, attracted by the wbite canvas, approach and leap, and wonld go over the narrow boat and be free in their native waters on tbe other side but for tbe screen of netting, whioh stops them and throws tbem down before the man's feet. Every tone must have heard of the fishing cormo rant who is aotually trained in China to oatoh fish. A man takes out ten or twelve of these web'footed birds in a boat, and as soon as the boat stops, at his word they plunge into the water and begin at once searching for and diving after fish. They are most diligent woricers, for if one of them is seen swimming about idly, tbe Chinaman in the boat strikes the water near the bird with the end of a long bam boo; and, not touohed, but recalled to a sense of duty, the cormorant at once turns to business again. As soon as fish is caught a word from the man brings the bird swimming toward him. He draws it into tbe boat, aud it drops its prey from its bill. There is always a straw or a string tied round the neck, to prevent tbe fish from being swallowed, and this string requires the nicest adjustment lost it may choke the bird—a result which would certainly follow if it slipped lower down ou tbe neck. Tho sagaoity and workmanlike methods of the birds are shown wheu they get into diffi culties. If the fish caught is too large for one beak to secure, another cormorant comeHupto the struggle, and the two, with united efforts, bring their prize to the boat. On the rivers and canals near Ning-po, Bhanghai, and Foo-chow-foo the employment of these birds is by no means an unoommon sight; but they are never to be seen fishing in the summer months, tbeir work being in the winter, beginning always about October and end ing in May. The birds have of course to be subjected to a system of Iraiuiug, which is carried ou iu the oonuorant breeding and fishing establishments, one of whioh is at a distanoe of thirty or forty miles from Shanghai.—Chamber's Jour nal. A Floor or fttlvur. On the closing up of the Smith & Rog ers silver plating couoeru in New Haven, a tow days ago, preparatory to its remov al to Meriden, the floor of the platiug room was taken up, burned, and tho ashes analyzed, with the result of proour iug pure silver to the amount of $98L. This result is not so strong as appears at first sight. The preoious metals are capa ble of extreme volatilization under heat, becoming mere vapors, whioh may bo condensed, resulting in tbe production of the metal in a pure form. But even with out heat, tbe particles of gold aud silver are made ao exceedingly fine, iu tbe processes of tbe manufacture of gold and silver goods, whether solid or plated, that no devices for saving the material abraded or thrown off in the various ma nipulations are entirely effectual. Even in the Government assay offloes the soot deposited in the ohimneys from the melt ing of tbe crude metal is valuable ; and PRINTING BOOK BINDING Every Description, LOWEST PRICES!
