nineteen centuries ago came down one
Christmas night to chant over Bethlehem,
"Ulory to (tod in the highest; on earth
peace, good will to men!”
I have been waiting for some years for
some one else to twist the two garlands
that, I to-day twist, but, no one doing it., in
! the love of Cod an l my country I put now
j my band to tie* work, and next spring
■ about this time, if I am living and well, I
will twist two more garlands for northern
and southern graves, and every springtime
until some man or woman whom I inav
have cheered n little in the struggle of this

on my own grave. Hut if the time should

THE OYSTER PROBLEM.
Tljln Favorite Itivalvo Is Nearly Extinct
in the Baltimore Ho«K
The evident and alarming decrease of
the yield of the oyster beds of Chesa
peake Bay, reeontly emphasized by the
removal by nineteen oyster packing
(irms of the whole or a part of their
I lant to otlu'r localities, led to an im
portant meeting of parties interested
in the subject in Baltimore recently.
T’r f. Brooks, twelve years ago,
warned the State authorities that the j
extermination of the oyster by injurious
methods of fishing and lack of suitable
protection was eminent. The small
yield of ‘1,000,000 bushels of oysters in
1800 as compared with the output of
17,000,000 bushels in 1875 is sufliciont
ovideneo of the soundness of I’rof.
Brook’s prediction.
In the course of the addresses it was
shown that the oyster industry of Chesa
peake Bay involves an outlay, for wages,
labels, boxes and transportation, of
about $0,000,000 annually, this not in
cluding the cost of the oysters. It is
safe to assume that the valuo of the
oysters, together with tile cost of put
ting them on the market, will represent
a sum not less than $4,500,000 to $5,-
000,000.
Prof. Brooks estimates that since the
establishment of the oyster packing in
dustry fully 400,000,000 bushels of oys
ters have been taken from the waters of
Chesapeake Hay. This magnificent re
source, however, is threatened with
complete destruction unless speedy
measures be taken to arrest the decline
and foster the growth of the industry.
The Professor further states that in
other countries, where the grounds are
much less valuable, they have by cul
tivation been made to produce oysters
at a rate per aero which iu our superior
waters would bring the annual yield far
above the entire harvest so far gathered
by the packers of Maryland and Vir
ginia.
There was perfect agreement among
the parties interested in the Chesapeake
oyster as to the need of prompt action,
and this agreement found expression in
a series of resolutions calling attention
to the threatened destruction of the
oyster beds under the present con
ditions, with the consequent throwing
out of employment of thousands of
workmen, and a greater injury to tho
people of Maryland engaged in allied
industries. This threatened extinction
is chnrgod to the want of legislative en
couragement of artificial propagation,
and stress is laid upon tho necessity of
soiling or leasing to individuals certain
portions of the beds, for the experiment
of oyster rearing. The desirability of
State supervision of oyster grounds lias
been demonstrated iu North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia, as well as
in Massachusetts and New ork, and
particularly in Connecticut, where the
natural beds are reserved for public
use, but all other waters capnblo of j o
ducing oysters are sold to individuals,
whose vested rights are amply protect
ed andjhenco enjoyed without moles
tation. As an illustration of the prac
tical working of this plan it is stated

A Doe’s Impressive Funeral.
There was a notable funeral at Bucy
rus, 0., the other day. Frank, the pet
dog of the man employed on the Toledo
& Ohio Central railroad, died last week.
His body was placed in a handsome
casket, and on the day of the funeral
an engine and car wero drawn iu black,
the casket was placed in tho car, and
the train bore Frank’s remains to the
grave, while all the engine bells in tho
yard were tolled. “Frank was an ugly |
dog in appearance, but happy in dispo- j
flition, and he had barked in a neigh
borly wav and wagged his tail socially
among tho trainmen for years. He won
their hearts. Some men came fifty miles
to attend tho funeral, and there wero
tears shed over Frank’s grave.”
