Nearly one hundred thousand dollar worth of buildings have been erected in Morristown, Tenn., ia the laat twelve months. The State of Virginia expended more than a million dollars in 1882 for the support of her common schools.

In the top of this tall stumn grows a huokclberry buali. In 1860 theie were 540,760 sheep in North Carolina. In 1870 the numbei was 488,485. In 1880, by the aid of the Legislature and the dogs, the numbei lmd fallen to 461,038. The great need of New Orleans it admitted to be a comprehensive and harmonious system of drainage, Tbt city authorities have determined on the appoio'.mcnt of a commission to look int<> the matter. New Orleans has discovered a new thing l'-> do with its oyster shells, whicl is to plant them for the production ol more oysrters It is now found that bed ding them out in oyster waters stimu lates production. A short time ago Mr, Thomas Peters of Birmingham, Ala., sold 30,000 acre: of mineral lands lying m Fayette and Walker counties, to tho Kentucky and Alabama Coal, Iron and Land Co., foi i 03,600. Tl.e Governor of Alabama has nwar- «le 1 contracts for 400 convicts.

Adams’cotton factory of 3,000 spin dies, started last year at Montgomery Ala., was closed recently for want o’ satisfactory prices realized from yarn-. The property rill be sold by resolution of the stockholders at an early dny. The shipping of cattle from West Florida to Texas has not proved suc cessful. Maj. Hines, of Marianna, losi one out of every six head shipped, and that before the arrival of the shipment, in New Orleans. The cattle do not sfrm hardy enough to stand any rough usage. According to tne Atlanta Constitu tion, Georgia will produce 6,000 ca> loads of melons, or more than 7,500,001 separate melons. The price of melon ranged in Chicago from ewenty-eight to twenty cents. Averaging the crop this jear at twenty cents, and patting 1,250 melons to the car, each oar will la- worth $250. This will make the crop worth $1,500,000 for this season. The largest sale of Georgia gold lands ever made has just been consumated in Loudon. Negotiations between Dr. Joaiah Curtis, of Washington, D. Cl the representative of the Nacoochec Mining Company, and an English com pany, have been pending for several months past, and have resulted in the purchase of the latter. The purchase includes nearly 8,000 acres of the hesi gold lands in the coanty, includiog lands of J. K. Dean, J. H. Nichols and others, besides the Nacoochee Mining Company’s canal, mill and lands.

This makes sixty-two per cent ol the funds restored to them. Malloy, the southern man, who recov ered $20,000 for libel from the New York Herald, for having been charged with being suspected of includisrism. has had his damages cut down to $4,605 on a second trial. Tho City of Wilmington, Delaware, ’’aving ordained a dollar tax upon everv telegraph pole in that city, the oompany refused to pay. The authorities order ’d the removal of every pole from the '•roots, and $850 were promptly noid under protest. This is a new form oi oole tax. The Brooklyn F.agle, commenting on the recent cliatigtt In proprietorship of the New York World, says: "A news paper, to he successful, must draw its support from the public j to deserve and win sup,port,It must bd true to the pub lie interest and free from even a suspic ion of control by public enemies ” This i< a (ruth of general application Its force is not limited to New York. Tkc Supreme Court of Pennsylvania h ss decided that giving a letter to n carrier is equivalent to depositing it in the post-office. For it can make no dif ference whether one hands a letter to a carrier or puts it in a letter box a lew fret away whence- the letter-carrier will take it. The decision arose put of a suit in which the Indorser’ of a note claimed that he had not received notice M protest. Goldsmith Maid trotted 2112 heats in 2:50 or better, won $864,200 during her trotting career, and captured Ipl races. American Girl won $118,100 in forvy- cine races.

Lady Tiiorne, $79,675 in forty-obe races The actual gains brought to hor owner- iy Goldsmith Maid, over expenses, were 246,750. During the ten months ended April 30th, 1883, 417,688 immigrants arrived in the United (Mates at the principal 3i stoins districts. During the ton months ended April 30th, 1882, the number of arrivals at the seme districts was 644,601, showing a falling off dur ing the ten months last past of 126,913. By fiscal years immigration to the ITni- ’ed States was at its highest tide during the year ended June 30th, 1882. The urlvuls for tne current flscal year will he fully 150,000 lees than they were for that year. Still, with the exception of the. focal years 1881 and 1882, Immi grants are now coming into the United tates at a greater rate than ever before in its history. The wise ones say there is nothing si hard to hear as prosperity; hut most men would like to engage in some hard work of that description just to have a practical illustration of the adage. The bones of Charles J. Guiteau, the a«snisiu of President Garfield, after hav ing been in the Army Medical Museum since July 3d last, have at length, it is stated, lost their identity as his bones Tee day following the execution, which took place on the 80th of June, Uui- teau’s body was entered under the floor >f the east wing of the jail. On the night of July 3d it wa^resurrected by the anatomist of the museum, Dr. E. F. Ichathcrt, and taken to the museum. Here the hones were prepared for ar ticulation, and being in fine order for such purpose, it was supposed that some day or other Guiteau’s skeleton would he placed in a glass case in the museum, properly labeled. It was known by a number of clerks and other employes of the museum that the boneB were there, hut only a few persons have been per mitted to sec them. It has been deemed inadvisable, however, to place the skel eton on exhibition as that of Guiteau for, like the cervical vetrabrie of the assassin of Lincoln, Wilkes Booth, it would have attracted too large a crowd. Recently Dr. C. II. Crane, the Surgeon General, took the bones into his per sonal possession, and he has made disposal of them of which every other peifon is ignorant. GenT Crane will doubtless keep the secret to himself, is thought the bones are yet in the buil ding as an entire skeleton, or that they with other bones, form exhibits there, A mas who has that sympathy which leads him to remember the. lowest and tlic poorest, has in himself an iuflnenco which will overrule pride, selfishness, all passions.

The Fecundity ef Flsli—'I’liclr Age. An average herring contains about 25,OUU ova, so that 1,00(1 females of that fi-h would yield, if all the eggs were to come to life, 26,000,000; lmt hundreds of thousands of tho eggs altogether os- capo lho fertilizing milt of the male fish, and other hundreds of thousands are devoured by enemies that sacni to think tlie ova of lim herflng lias been created solely to servo ns food to them All our sen li lies are endowed with enormous powers of reproduction. A female cod fish Inis been known to contain 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 nvn, but, as 1ms been staled of the herring, tho was'o of eggs from the want of being fructified, and from oilier causes, is realty enormous. The flat fishes are also all of them very pro ductive; hut ill tho ease of all sea fishes the waste of Mfo is really and truly in calculable, otherwise man would be incapable of dealing with these minor monsters of tho great deop. As lias been shown In the ease of the herring, there are animals preying on the shoals the demands of which aro far more deadly than those of mankind; the Hume may doubtless bo said of most of our other sea fishes. But the total stock of fish of all ages must Indoeil Im prodi gious. There aro, however, many diffi culties in the way of fixing upon a figure. It is not yet known, for instance, with anything like certainty, at what age herring or codfish arrive at tho maturity of their lives; but it may be hazarded as 11 conclusion, which has not been arrived at without the most caroful considera tions, that the sea in all probability con tains a supply of fish which, in theovent of produolion ceasing, would last tho community for a period of fivo or six years. These fish,of courso, must bo of all ages; but no man can toll the exact age of any fish which he may from day to day find on his table. Nor can we tell tin? average age which any of our sea fish attain. Many of the codfish we capture “look” to have been very old denizens of the deep—ton years old ai least. And as some of tho fish which arc captupnd are occasionally of an enor mous size, that fact seems to indicate a long period of life. We think, however, taking the majority of our fi-hes into account, that if creation were at once ui stop,, and tho fish of the sea were sud denly torceaseto multiply and replenish the prelent stock, at the rate of capture now going f, n, might last us for a period of from tour lo five years.—Uerlrum, in the British.
