they will have an interview with the Pope, when it is believed Mr.Mercier will receive further marks of Papal favor.Politicians here affect to believe that Mr.Mercier ill make a formal complaint to the Pope, of the zeal the hierarchy displayed in the attempt to defeat the Liberal party in the Dominion elections.This receives support from the fact that two|Canadian Bishops have already been disciplined heavily for exercising thoir influence for political purposes.The main object of tiio delegation is to secure a Provincial loan of $10,000,000 and to that end they arc carrying the necessary official documents.The present condition of the finances of the Province will not make the task an uuusally easy one, ns the sUtement of the Treasurer at the last .ession shows that the ordinary receipt do not meet the ordinary expenditures.The total ordinary receipts for tho year 1890 are placed at $3,536,495, and the expenditure is put at $3,881,672.The estimated expendi.ture for 1891 is $3,641,215, the estimated ordinary revenue amounts to only $3,.)Gon the opening of navigation.They will bring 125,000 boxes of lemons and.Al?the arrangements have been made for the proper

firemen, captized twice and twice righted herself.Each time she went over a number of men were drowned, while others succeeded in righting the boat, which Was almost entirely filled with water, but kept afloat by reason of her water tight compartments.Eventually four Swedish seamen reached the shore, but one of them died from exhaustion soon after being hauled out of the surf.The three survivors are terribly battered by the surf and were half dead when they were pulled out of the water.The \"Myrama\u201d was bound from London for Colombo.The captain, the chief engineer, three mates and tho Steward were in a small boat, while 22 of the crew left the wreck in a life boat.The life boat could not land owing to the surf and had to put out to sea.After the life boat hail capsized the second time^the survivors of the crew\u2019 clung to the keel, but all were washed off except the four who afterwards were washed ashore.The French ship \u201cFrère et Sœur\u201d has lieen wrecked on one of

Waugh.Reports meagre, ami the names of the others injured were not received.A woman, one of tho dancers, was the cause of tho trouble.Jeff Waugh and Sherman Lucas wanted her for a partner.Both were drinking and each claimed her hand.Finally Jeff struck Sherman in tho face.In a miuute a shot was fired and a panic ensued, men, women and children rushing for the passage to the open air.A SHOWER OF BULLETS.The doorway became clogged with a mass of humanity, whose only object was to escape from the shower of bullets being fired in the hall.The first man to fall was Sherman Lucas, a miner.As soon as Lucas fell his friends rallied to his rescue ami a perfect fusillade was the result.Between ten ami twenty men were engaged on both sides, and it is estimated that between fifty and one hundred and fifty shots were tired.The firing ceased only when,ammunition was exhausted.During the fight the lights were extinguished, which fact no doubt strieu many lives.six fatally hurt.Wh n the battle ended six men lay op the floor badly wounded.Several others were slightly hurt, not sufficiently, however, to call in medical assistance.The Buntings and Waugh were expected to die to-day, and it is said

amongst them D.\\ Shilling-ton, who, making a hasty examination, found there was a wound about two inches from the apex of the heart, evidently caused by a penknife.It was found that the wounded man was F.X.Gamache, of St.Patrick street, a collector for W.A.Armour ft Co., picture framers.The two men whom he had charged with stabbing him were Philip Proulx and Adelard Riche, of Hull.They were pursued and caught by Constables McMorrow and O\u2019Neil, some distance below Pcfeley bridge, handcuffed and brought to the station.Dr.Shillington states that Gamache\u2019s wound is not fatal.The

in the House of Commons will tye declared vacant and an election for a new member will be ordered London, March 13\u2014Mr.Parnell issued a manifesto this evening.It is addressed to-the Irish Americans and is principally composed of an appeal to Irishmen in the United States for assistance.He defends his position and declares he has alw ays worked m the interest of his bonded countrymen, although often misconstrued.Die manifesto is a great disappointment to Mr.Parnell\u2019» friends, who thought he would exonerate himself in relation to Mrs.OShea.That lady, however, is not referred to in the document.Mr.Parnell appeals to his fellow-countrymen in America to once more issist him in quelling mutiny and disloyalty to Ireland in securing a really indepenaentt\u2014Parliamentary party, so that we may make one more, even thought it be the very last, effort to win freedom snd prosperity for our nation by oonsti tutional means.\t, The worst feature of Mr.Parnell re with the Nationalists developcs as the becomes fiercer.The attitude of partial respect towards the clergy disappears, thinly veiled insolence, sometimes open reviliag^ characterizes the speeches of the leaguers.Whatever be the issue of the struggle, the shock to the moral and religious sense of the people is irreparable.In a letter published U>-uay, Arch bishop Croke, while denouncing the latest Parnell attempt to blacken the bishops in Mr.Harrington\u2019s pseudo revelations through the publication of Archbishop Logue\u2019s letter, Archbishop Croie writ s: \u201cThe disclosure of Archbishop Ixjgqe\u2019s.letier, which was meant to cover the Iiish Episcopacy, with confusion, cause venerable cheeks to be suffused with guilty shame and prove them accomplished tricksters, proves worthy of the venerated primate\u2019s notice.\u201d Proceed ing to show that the Bishop\u2019s conduct was straightforward, Archbishop Croke says : \u201cWhen Messrs.Dillon and O'Brien declared against Mr.Parnell, I, in conjunction with others, cabled them to return tognidethe movement againstMr.Psrnell.When released from FRANCE.Paris, March 13.\u2014The bourse was weak to-day owing to the

Government did not intend to rescind the prohibition placed up >u the importation of American hog products.Ïrisen, it will be seen how they regard the 'arnellite publication of private letters and telegrams.\u201d .Archbishop Croke deals more gently with the \u201c andacioOs blackguardism \u201c of the Parnell set than does Michael Davitt.-In an article in the Laleor World appealing to Irish Americans, Mr.Davitt declares that the effrontery of Mr.Parnell is measureless in asking Americans to ignore his betrayal of household virtuee.He does not fear but that the Irish in America, to mark their sense of Mr.Parnell\u2019s contemptuous regard for the principles of honor and honesty, will spurn his emissaries as servants of a fac tionist traitor who considers his interests above Home Rule and his tarnished name above the honor of their race.\u201d , The Post, speaking of the emissaries whom Parnell is sending to America to coilec funds, says \u201cIt requires deeds rather than words to open the purse of the American housemaid.When Mr.Parnell has shown that he is still dictator of felectoral Ireland he may succeed in securing aid, but for pnr-jose* of faction fighting his delegates are not ikely to secure much money.\u2019\u2019 Dublin, March, 13.\u2014It is stated that Mr.Vincent Scully, the Par-nellite who unsuccessfully contested for the seat in Parliament representing North Kilkenny against Sir John Pope Heu-nessy, the McCarthyite, will contest for thp seat representing North Sligo, made vacant by the death of roter McDonald.It is also understood that Mr.McDermott, Queen\u2019s Counsel, a supporter of Mr.McCarthy, will enter the lists against Mr.Scully.Southey, the Mad Poet.One year when I was up in the lake conn try I was sketching at Ryd&l Water, when a

Charles King, speaking of Indian signals, says : \u201c I well remember Sitting Bull\u2019s introduction to the telephone.It was during his first visit to the States, and'I was ahked to meet him in the hope that I might learn something from him of his share in the Custer battle.But he would not talk about it.However, it was ascertained that he purposely kept out the fight.But we had fun out of him.His nephew, Spotted Horn Bull, was one of the party.We seated the at ter at the telephone, with an interpreter to show him how to work it.Then we took Sitting Bull several blocks away, to the Pioneer Prr** building, and having done so asked him if he would not like to talk with his nephew.He smiled contemptuously when the telephone was pointed out to mm, but as the agent assured him that it was no joke, he was persuaded to ask some questions in the Sioux language.He did so with a shrug cf the shoulders and an incredulous grin.The next instant he started as though lie had received a shock, the ear-trumpet dropped from his nerveleis hand, ami he almost fell out of hischair.\u2018Waukon,\u2019 he exclaimed\u2014which might be translated \u2018the devil.\u2019 Spotted Horn Bull had answered him in Sioux, and it had nearly scared the lifo out of him.He would not touch the telephone again that night.\u201d \u201cILLUSTRATED QUEBEC.\u201d s THE MORNING CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, MARCH

1801.\tJanl7-Liu London, March 13.\u2014 While throughout the London district a thaw has set in and is causing considerable inconvenience to travellers, both on foot and in public vehicles, there are no signs of moderation in the severity of the weather experienced in the south-west of England.A heavy snow storm prevailed throughout the night in Devonshire and Cornwall, considerably adding to the sufferings of the farmers of those counties and still further impeding the resumption of traffic on the railways of the south-west.As for the country roads they are utterly impassable, huge snow drifts completely Sreventing any communication between the ifferent towns and villages.This state of affairs naturally is very severe in numerous villages, which depend almost entirely upon the towns in their neighborhood for supplies of food and fuel.In fact, in the case of a number of these small villages, their isolation is already causing considerable anxiety, as actual starvation stares them in the face should the weather net moderate shortly sufficiently to allow them to be revictualled.Efforts in that direction are already being made, but the snow storms impede the work of rescue, for such, in fact, it is.In addition to the enormous losses suffered by the farmers iu sheep and cattle, which have either been frozen to death in the fields or which have been smothered boneatn the mountainous snow drifts to be found on all sides, large numbers of horses have perished in a like manner.The farmers and villagers, as a result of the storm of the last few days, are living on their reserve stocks of bacon and ham, and are turning to their hen roosts and pig honses for a farther supply of food.The farmers, however, are in a state of complete happiness in, comparison with their poorer neighbors, the country laborers and artisans.Many of these have no such reserve stocks of food to fall back on and are already suffering severely with the prospect of further and increased suffering in the future, for some time must necessarily elapse before they can resume work at their respective callings.In the majority of villages and the smaller snowed-up towns all the shops and schools are closed, for it is impossible for school children tojventure out of doors and shoppers have more serious matters to consider than the purchase of goods.The farmers, as a consequence of the terrible losses they have endured during the past month, will cut down their expenses and this means corresponding economies and retrenchments in other businesses, not to mention loss of work to many poor laborers.One of the curious incidents of the storm was the snowing up, near Exeter, of one of those old-fashioned fonr-horse coaches which still do duty in many parts of England.The passengers were compelled to' camp by the road side near the snowbound coach.They built a large fire, improvised a rude hut made of branches torn from trees and kept up their spirits as best they could.Thealmoet entire lack of food soon reduced them to a state of semi-starvation, which so reduced their strength that only a few of the stronger men had courage enough to keep the camp fire burning, and when rescued the entire party was badly frozen and iu a state of exhaustion.A mail train was snowed up near Donaland, in Devonshire, and so remained for tw o days.When it became evident that there was no means of moving the train to Donaland or returning the way it had come, the railroad porters and conductors, after a conference with the imprisoned passengers, decided to try to pash on to Donaland on foot in order to obtain supplies of provisions for the passengers and, if possible, to bring them sleighs or other conveyances, which would enable them to reach a place of shelter.Thereupon the railway men started on their journey and after terrible sufferings reached Donaland.But they were unable to return and in addition so terrible was the storm raging, that they were unable to Eirsuade others to form a rescuing party.uring this time the half-frozen passengers, who included a number of ladies, were half-perished ; they built fires in the cars and heated the water and foot warmers, the only means of heat ing English railroad cars, and thus did their best to keep themselves warm but with little success, such was the intense cold which prevailed.When, after 48 hoars o! this distressing experience, the passengers were rescued, they were in a pitiable condition.So terribly did the ladies suffer that a number of them are now at Donsland confined to their lieds and under constant medical treatment, while several of the male passengers suffered as mu;h from the exposure and want of food which they endured.Several trains were derailed by coming in collision with trees hurled across the rails, but no loss of life is reported from this cause.West Cornwall has been in a state of complete isolation since Monday last.The first communication with that district was opened up to-day, to the intense relief of many of those who were the heaviest sufferers by the snow blockade.It is an unusual occurrence to see snow drifts ten feet high.The Western Railway is still snow blocked.A snow plough which was trying to clear the line at \u2019Ditnes, crashed into a train buried under the snow, injuring a fireman and engine driver and doing much damage.The mail train which runs between Plymouth and this city was dispatched to-day for the first time since Monday lost, the traffic on the road having been suspended owing to tho heavy snowstorm which raged there during the week.Can Talk Only to His Brothers.Strange Casé of a Man Whose Tongue is Tied Even in the Presence of His Wife.Danbury, March 12\u2014A man who has con versed with only two persons in hia life lives in Danbury.He is John Pratt, an industrious and well-to-do-farmer, who, in spite of his remarkable affliction, has kept himself in obscurity for many years, and in the 60 odd years of his life bos

his life.Yet he has a voice os strong and vocal faculties as perfect os any man\u2019s.Some strange power binds his tongue in another\u2019s presence, an influence which is said to be due to his mother's antipathy to her father-in-law at the time Pratt was borp.A few days before Pratt\u2019s birth his mother quarrelled with the elder Pratt, and then she vowed never to speak to him again.The

street was all agog yesterday at the revival of the old story that the New York Central hud secured or was about to secure the control of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad.Mr.H.Walter Webb, Vice-President of the former road, and Charles Parsons, President of the latter, promptly denied the story.A fentlemau who is a stockholder of the Ogdens-urg Company, and has his information directly from official sonrees, said yesterday that the last chance of the Central had escaped and that its neglect to secure the line when it had the opportunity was likely to cqst it dear in the near future, for what it did not get, the Canadian Pacific has secured.Some time ago a number of men quietly secured a charter for a new bridge across the Niagara River at a point belcw the qht sus, tension bridge, ft is said th^t the Canadian \u2022acjfle bought up the charter, paying $30,000 for it, though it consistud of nothing but the paper it was written on.The scheme\tnow\tis\tto build a\tthird bridge\tacross\tthe gorge.\tThe\tcom- pany already lias Us Canadian line extending to the river on the Canadian side, while the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg, east and west line, extends along the south shore of Lake Ontario to Lewiston, on the American side of the Niagara River.The road can easily be deflected at some point east of the river to reach the bridge grade, and a perfect connection and almost a direct eastern line will lie at the command of the Canadian Pacific Road.But it seems that the plans of the Canadian road do not end here.It pur- Çoses to have a direct connection with New 'ork City, and for that puposeit will form a close alliance with the Lehigh Valley Railroad.To connect its Buffalo terminus with he Canadian Pacific at the new bridge over Niagara fiver it will require a link of about 25 miles.This link line was surveyed some time ago, and much of the right of way ie understood to have been scoured.With the now bridge built and the short link completed, the Canadian Pacifia will in the future enter a more powerful factor in the transcontinental question, and is not unlikely to disturb the whole railroad situation in the north and east.ILLUSTRATED

the close curl of the surface is apt to catch in any roughness oçf slight obstacle that presents itself.Even more popular than the camel\u2019s-hair goods are the Bedford cords, which have sold so rapidly that it l^i qul.e difficult now to get them in desirable colors.They are especially sought after in medium brown shade*, in mushroom color, siver grays and other gray tones, aud iu the yellowish Cleopatra drabs.Ail tones of color in dress are considerably lighter and more pronotmv»*! than they have been.As a rule, elaborate wool dresses will lie combiued with a silk or bengaline a shade or two darker ; though the new Cleonatra Irabs are combined-by Worth with black, and to some extent black will be used with other colors.\tj While dressmakers tre making skirts a little fuller than last season there is no great change in the make-up of the new wool aud silk dresses.There are more of these gowns made in princess style in one piece than In any other way.For youug ladies such dresses are often laced in the back.The new Bedford cords range in price from $1.25 to $2.They are forty-five inches wide.English tailors arc using many camel\u2019s-hair cloths figured in a close pattern with many fine zigzag stripes in pale uaturul beige and mushroom colors.In plain faced cloths for spring there are f>ome very pronounced shades.The new browns have'a distinctly yellowish tone, and the new amethystine purples and dahlia shades are more conspicuous than the violet cloths of last season.\u201cRoyal blue \u201d is a new shade of cloth, which is to be marie up with bengaline in the Same color, and sometimes with garniture of oxidized silver braid.This blue is intended, like all these pronounced shades, fon.handsome carriage njear.There are still other cloths stamped with flower clusters, that arc made up into elaborate gowns\u2014\t, The unwelcome fiat has gone forth that all dresses shall be on tlie sidewalk four inches.The extremely long waist which dressmakers are now using has necessitated the lengthening of the skirt in order to bring the figure into proper proportion.Until dressmakers return to a waist of reasonable length trailing skirts will bedikely to prevail.Meantime all women of short staturb Will do well to adopt all means in fashion for shortening the apparent length of the waist, as the new waists shorten the figure parceptibly.A pretty item that should be remembered is the use of a little ruffle of silk at the edge of the foundation skirt, to break the hard line which the straight, plain ckirts now make at the edge.There can be no doubt that India silk vvilT be even more popular than last season.It is preferred iu dark grounds figured with lozenges, rings, polka-dots and other scattered conventionu,[effects.ChalHes are also shown in dark colors iu these patterns, and iu hairlines, and make exceptionally Serviceable summer dresses.The most popular material for sheer afternoon dress during the Slimmer seems likely to be black grenadine.This is imnorted in every variety of weight, both plain and figured with fashionable zigzag stripes and set scattered designs.These grenadines will not be used in combination as much as in solid dresses, of plain, figured or striped goods trimmed with black lacc.They are expected td take the place of the black net dresses of last season.\t> The material most Used for the elaborate Louis Quium and Queen Anne coats now being made for the demi-season and summer wear is black bengaline figured in even inch stripes in serpentine or zigzag effects.A few coats for driving or recepiton wear will be made of white cloth.Thd new bengaline coats are trimmed with wide ruffles of black lacc aud finished with revers collars, which show elaborate jabots and falls of lace in front.Some of the prettiest of tiicse coals are cut off in front ami at the aides aud are only long at the hack so that they arc more becoming than the extremely long coats, some of which cut off the height so much that they should be worn by none but exceptionally tall figures.As the season advances it becomes evident that there muse lie many styles in coats introduced, which are a compromise between the extremely long Queen Anne and Louis Quinze coats and the short styles of last year.The hip seams aud pocket flaps break the effect of the long coat to a degree, but it is still unbecoming to a short figure.There will undoubtedly be a number *of reefers and covert coats worn for ordinary usage in the short lengths that are so becoming to petite figures ; though enough, length is given in all ' these coats to permit pocket flaps to be placed on the hips.There can be no radical change introduced in the modern riding habit.It is so well adapted to the purpose for which it is dcsigu-ed that it is not likely any considerable number of riders can ever be made to adopt a very different mole.The materials most used for habits arc diagonal cloths and smooth-faced Melton cloth.Dark blue and dark green are the accepted colors used by riders.The use of other colors is rare.There are more habits made of navy-blue Melton cloth than of any other material.The bodice just introduced in habits is considerably longer than those worn last year anil basa seam on the hip and pocket flaps.English tailors put a neat little checked or daintily figured waistcoat of horsecloth in the bodice of their riding habits.8uch waistcoats are made I with a close collar to the throat or with a j high-notched collar displaying a linen che-j misette, witli which a neat little cravat bow j is worn.For hunting and less formal occasions than the park a red waistcoat U sonic-I times worn and a long coat of light covert j coating, trimmed with large pearl buttons.The high silk liât is worn in the park and on %U formal occasions.For hunting and geti-j eral wear the low felt hat is adopted.1 In EiteBiktl P»pal»rity.\u2014Brown's Bronchial TrOOHXS have be- n lx fore the public many years.They are pronounced universally superior to all other articles used for fimilar purposes.For relieving Coughs, Colds, and Throat Diseases they have been proved reliable.Sold only in boxes.Price, 25 cents.( Finn! article.) Yarmotth, England, Feb.19, 1891.Pilgriming in many lands, I have been much among their waterside folk\u2014with the fishermen of Algiers, who arc a conglomerate race of Ureeks, Italians,Spaniards aitd Arabs ; with the fishermen of Sicily, gloomy and voiceless as Gipay dogs ; with those of Barcelona, the giants of the south of Spain ; with Biscayan, Breton ami Cornish fishermen, superstitious and sodden above all otbers t with the brave, kind men of Claddagh, at Galway, and those along the WondrousTverry coast;

ness of their voices, and in the light which shines from their eyes, that all Utoir brave and hearty ways cannot hide or disguise.It is as if the sea, from which they live, had whispered in secret tq each consciousness some savage threat \u2019Of reprisal ; as if over every little'tbiiSfort, home joy, or well-earned contiht, hung the spectre-hand of fate, coming closer to the inner vision every time the fisherman's heart grows glad.In whatever degree this is universal, it seems to me to be more marked amhng the fishermen of Yarmouth than I have ever found it elsewhere revealed, I believe Dickens saw and felt this here at this old fishing-port, when he created out of his great and tender heart the pathetic characters of the Peggolty* simple, tender! true ; scorning baseness K I resolute ih all manly attributes ; majestrfc Tn Gulfering and forgiveness « and through and over all, the pathetic ttiféàd of sadness, quivering like an endless plaint in a melodious though mouru-< ful song.\t/ TTIEIR RATTLE FOR THEIR HARBOUR.It is surely here among all these thousands of Yanmyith fishermen, wives and bairns.The upward;, far loolt in their eyes, has come as A heritage of centuries of dolor and loss.The set, stern shutting o^ the jaw's and lips, tells better than history can of the endless fishcr-fight against the elements and poverty.For that matter, all old Yarmouth folk have the resolute, half-defiant ejmression that tells as plaiuly os book can : \u201cThis is Yarmouth, as you see it, because we have battled With the aca a thousand years !\u201d And so they have.A desperate and tin' ceasing struggle Against.the telemcnts was necessary oh the part \u2018of Yarmouth folk, past and present, to retain their very existence, as well as their trade iu herrings.The history of the Dutch in their battle* ft>V tne preservation of their dykes Against the gnawing of the sea.cannol surpass the record of Yarmouth To^lc in their struggles to preserve ?heir port.For hundreds of years it was the ever-recurring victim of destructive tempests and shifting sands.Seven different harbours were exoavated between thfi middle of the 14th century and the time of Elizabeth.While the storms and the sands were destroying one harbout* after Another, war, rebellion, pestilence aud famine assailed the brave Yarmouth folk ashore.In the old books one Can read how they sold their church-plate, bells and vestments for funds to preserve Ih\u2019e harbour.Agaiu you can find tthere every inhabitant., sa v** the Shipwrights at work on he-ring-hoAts, were compelled to labor three days of every week, on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, at the excavations.They worked first and worshiped afterwards, in Kast Anglia, in those rigorous old days.At another time, when the danger was ntost imminent, the precious store of the iown\u2019s gunpowder was sold for nVcaiis with which to save the port.And again, when the sea had almost buried the wharves and town in sand, the entire inhabitants, divided into four bands, labored day anil night for months, and Yar-'TViouth was saved.The seventh harbour done, it has since stood, the greatest monument to human pluck and invincibility that can be found in all Britain to day.THF.IIERRING FISHERIES OF YARMOUTH.One cannot help having an admiration and affection for men made out of this sort of stuff; and to know them in their humble homes, in their haunts and resorts of the quaint old town, and in >heir dangerous toil of gathering the harvests of the deep, is to possess a long remembered pleasure and delight.Their methods of fishing vary Utile at the present time from those in vogue for the past hundreds of years save that the little open boats formerly in use have been supplanted by fine decked smacks ; as is true with the fiahermetv.of the entire British coasts, barring those of the west and northwest Irish islands, where the ancienl curragli, or skin-keeled canoe, is still in use.Though long-line and deep-sea fishing is prosecuted by many the year round, and, during the winter months under the most perilous circumstances known to any fishermen on the globe, the paramount interest at Yarmouth, from the fisherman\u2019s standpoint-, is centered in the herring fisheries of this coast.These made Yarmouth.They sustained the city and its citizens.At the present time it is reckoned that the city increases its population three-fold, and houses 60,000 souls during the \u201cseason,\u201d two-thirds of this number beiug drawn here solely by the herring industry.Again, this number is doubled by excursionists and seaside loiterers from the near manufacturing cities, and even from faraway Loudon itself ; so that from Juno until September, it is no uncommon thing for Yarmouth to hold from 100,000 to 120,000 people.THE COAST FLEET AMD THE CATCH.Now as of old the merchants of Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Gorleston and other near ports, ht out large decked boats of front 50 to 80 tons burthen, the Yarmouth and near coast fleet numbering perhaps 1,500 of these vessels.Each one is manned with a master, mate, hawsemuu, wale man, net-rone man, uet-stower and about half a dozen loirorcrs or \u201ccapstern-men.\u201d Ail these engage to serve during the season, at stipulated wages, with an allowance of a certain sum in money, for every \u201clast\u201d of herrings taken, to the master, mate, hawsemau and walcman ; some vessels engaging with this allowance to each vessel, the allowance being divided by the entire crew, \u201cshare and share alike.\u201d A \u201clast\u201d of herring is the Yarmouth standard of reckoning.It comprises teu barels of fish.Another method of computing the \u201clast,\u201d where the fish are sold out of the boat, is to count cut 13,200 herrings.The vessels are victualled by the owners, and are also-, provided with several tons of salt.For the herrings taken at Yarmouth are disposed of in an entirely different manner from those secured by the Scottish and Shetland fishers.The latter sell their \u201ctakes\u201d immediately to \u201ccurers,\u201d who, at \u201cstations\u201d alongshore, \u201cpickle\u201d the herring according to the old Dutch method in barrels, wddeh, after receiving government inspection and brand, are shipped to the continental market.All the herring taken along the East of England coast are marketed at Yarmouth, ami are either shipped fresh, in car-load lots, to the London fishmongers, or are transformed by salting and smoking into \u201cYarmouth bloaters,\u201d U r shipment to all parts of the world in the little pine boxes, which from time immemorial have adorned grocery-store windows.Every boat is furnished with about 100 nets, each of which is 21 yards long, and about 25 fectalccp.These are fastened in a length to a \u201cwar-ropo\u201d by cords which the men call \u201cseasons,\u201d each of which is 18 feet in length.The nets are floated by corks, and the \u201cwar-ropes\u201d by tubs, or buoys.The trade affords the principal means of subsistence to aliout 3,000 fishermen, 6,000 braiders, bcetsters, towers,rivers, ferrymen, carpenters,caulkers, etc., besides the number of seamen employed in carrying the fish to foreign markets, and the commercial class engaged in conducting the gigantic industry ; as well as partial support to fully 20,000 people from the \u201cNorth Countrie,\u201d ami near provincial districts, variously employed at odds ami ends of labor connected with the herring fishing during the height of its season.quays, begin to swarm with men ; and half the city-folk, after an old custom, stri ggle up ami down the quays to witness the daily departure of the fleet.You will find each crew particularly busy \u201claying on\u201d the nets, that is, folding them in a great level pile in the hold.This is a work of the greatest nicety, so that when the nets are \u201cshot,\u2019\u2019 on The Royal Naval Exhibition.( London Times.) A meeting was held at the Royal United cast into the sea, they do hot become entang-\u2019 led.While bcitig \u201claid bn,\u201d the nits are joined together by knotting the back-ropes of pich net.The buoys are at the same time attached.While three' men are engaged in this folding, one attaches the slnkAi A; ami another is busied folding Ihc hack-rope.This done, one by ohe the fleet, hundreds upon hitmlrcds of these shiacks, drift gently put of the Yurc*m0ht!y,tand theneb eeroas the Vanhoutjh, Roads', Jntb the open sea.As the t*Hlght falls Ihe old city sinks from sight into its sand-dunes.What at first was a semi circle of bright color from the thousands of pleasure seekers along the beach, gradually merges into u line of rose above another of white ; these blend into a ribbon of purple ; and then the city lights show like fAtuL far ¦tars lying across the horizon, heiteatb the darkening purples of tllb western sky, the Yarmouth beacon-light blazing brightly above, alongside |St.Nichola\u2019s grim, square tower.To the north and south, from the east-shore ports, it seems as though A thousand oilier sail had met US there ; all floating between thfl dark waters and the paler east-, cm horizon sky like a myriad syiyfowl resting silently upon A viét eKlWnse of sea.r.rr Ahr.these thousand or more smacks , are moving ; each gently tacking here and there for a suitable fishing-ground.Here and there sails are being furled, and masts lowered, denoting that the business of the night with the great fleet, manned by perhaps, 8,000 men, has already begun.Soon it comes our turn.Net after net flies over the side, as wc float with the tide, trailing at least a mile behind us, like a majestic lea-serpent, the corks and buoys dancing mi thfe Raters farther than the eÿô cijm /mwin.Then the Cook calls n* below tp tkh \u201cden\u201d for supper.A queer little place it is.One can hardly btàflu upright in it.On either side are the sleeping berths for a crew of eight.There is agood American stove, on which the supper has been cooked, and a tiny table at which four of us can sit at one time and eat.And how we do eat ! Never before have ham ami eggs, potatoes fried in fish grease, pretty tought bread and black coffee, tasted so toothsome ami sweet.Then an hour or so on deck, spinning yarns, watching the countless night-lights gleaming from tieighborini smacks, or tracing the train of sihoke am phosphorescence behind the great steamers passing.,Aud ^passing os if to run us down, ami All but two or three of the crew \u201cturn in\u201d below.TÏÏI DRAWING OF THE.SEA-LOTTERY.About midnight we who remain oh watch \u201ctry\u201d the nets, A half dozen or.more Are hauled in.Perhaps not a sihglfc herring is found.The «élu are cost out again.Then
