It is queer, however that every enter prise of the sort must have its mon ey-end in New York, and as long as that is the case no one need be surprised that nothing points to our own sea points with a view of building them up. Everything point to New York and every New Yorker is alive to tlie importance of keeping up that system—and they only place tlicir money in systems that will keep it up.

The Constitution says. “The vcjndticcs of tho suproino court oi Georgia were yesterday very much surprised to find that their decision upon the Renfro case recently pub- - fished in tho Constitution, an unin tentional injustice has been done to Governor Colquit, which they cheer fully correct in the text of the do cision itself. The statement is made ■ in the decision that the securities 1 { Mr. Renfro, on the bond of 1877, taken by Governor Colquitt, had not made oath that they were worth over and above tlieir debts, liabili- A. ties and exemptions of all kinds, not leps than tho specified sums for which I10 was hound. An exami nation of the bond shows that the securities were required to and did tnake such oath. “The mistake by the court was duo to the fact that the oath of the securities was incorporated in the body of the bond, and was not Attached in separate affidavits, and was thus overlooked. The matter docs not affect the substantial prin' ciples of tho decision nor change tho ruling. It was oneof theminor cireumstancos of the ease, not de cision of tho result. Butitisnone the less’a matter of justice to the . governor to make this correction. Some of the papers have published and commented upon this matter, .and it will be a proper act of justice ’ to the executive to correct the mis- • 'v4ake and call attention to it,” The oldest living student ot the ' UmvGrsity of North Carolina is the Hon.

S. Fish Comis’r in this city, during the ensuing spring and summer, is ul most hopeless. Prof. Spencer F. Baird of the Smithsonian Institute us you perhaps know, is U. S Comis’r on Fish and Fisheries. 1 havo recently made application to him for quite a number of friends in Georgia for a supply of Ger man carp, and he informs me that in consequence of the injury done to ponds hero by the late freshet in tho Potomac, it was out of his power to comply with the request, and lie fears he would not be able to fill any more orders until next full. He said in one of his letters that the best chance was to apply to Dr. Cary, State Fish Commis’r at LaGrange, Georgia. IIe bad just before the freshet here furnish ed him with a very large supply of German carp, and Dr. Cary had perhaps not disposed of all lie received. Now as this Congress will come to a eloso very soon (4th March,) I would advise you to write direct ly to Frof, Spencer F. Baird, and let him know what you want, tho number of ponds, and the number of individuals you desire to sup ply, &c. lie has certain printed regulations which must bo com plied with iu all cases where fish are scut put. Each of these blanks which are furnished must set forth the name of tho applicant, charac ter of the pond, soil and other tilings. He must he recommen ded also by a member of Congress. All this you will see when you get the regulations to which I re-- i'er, and which Prof. Baird will send you. When you get these regulations and havo them properly filled out and send them to mo, I will cheer fully endorse any application you may recommend to me, I11 this way, by taking time by tho fore lock, I think all tho ponds in Washington county may be sup plied early in the fall. I do not see much hope of securing this object before. Youra truly, Alexanlkii II. Stephens. Sitting in the school-room I ov erheard a conversation between 1 sister and brother. Tho little boy complained of insults and wrongs recioved from another little hoy. Ilia face was flushed with anger, fho sister listened awhile, and then, turning away, she answered, “I do not want to hear another word; Willie has no mother.” The broth ers lips were silent; the rebuke came homo to him. and, stealing away hemut'erd, “I never thought of that.” He thought of his own mother, and tho loneliness ol “Willie” compared with his own happy lot. “He has no mother. ’ Do we think of it when want comes to the orphan, and rude words as sail him?
