The Cruise ill the Admiral.
M 259125. Eni'rons er "run Gizsrrn :—
It may interest your readers to have some
account of a‘Down East sailing trip through
Ionglsland Sound to Sit ' r Island, Block
Island, Martha’s Vincya . and other points
on our coast, made in the sloop Admiral,
which is‘owned by Capt.~.ioseph Ellsworth,
of Bayonne, N. J. "It is a beautifully built
vessel, very fast, and fitted up and usrd
through the summer’as a yacht. The party
consisted of fourteen; 3as; follows: Francis
Hopkins, commodore and host, Capt. Al.
Pearson, sailing master, Sam. Footc Steward,
Thomas ,Slianii‘on,‘ship’s boy. Guests: Mis-
szs Sun and Virginia Hopkins, Capt. Henry
Miucll, Messrs. DeLnniel Berier, Thornt )n
and Leonard Hopkins, Alexander Piper,Wi1-
lie Ellsworth, Frank Stillwell, and Rev. R.
B. Snowdcn. 4
After taking on a full supply of things
beesssary to comfort and a large stock of
choice provisions, we lifted anchor at Fort
Hamilton about five o'clock on the morning
of Friday, July 18th, and» with a fine breeze
made quick passage through the upper bay.
East River, and Hell Gate into the Sound.
Tommy Shannon, our factotum, was appre -
hensive lest we should carry away some por-
tion of the East River Bridge, and went
aloft with the intention of lowering the top‘
mast, but we passed under it without damage
to the structure or ourselves. The breeze in
the Sound was v.ry1ightand at noon settled
into a calm, but under an ample awning and
reclining on mattresses we were at our case.

full of exquisite pictures and having a re—
markable varict y of most interesting articles.
Harper’s Magazine, Weekly and .Bazar, rich
in illustrations, spicy and entertaining, the
North American Review, always attractive
to those who love the best writing from the
ablest pens, helped with other reading and
conversation and some sleeping to divert us
while we floated lazily on the unrippled
water. Capt. Minell,an experienced voyager
as well as soldier, kept a line out for fish, but
they would not bite; going over, the side for
a bath, however, he came near catching a
shark, which at once appeared on the other .
how. If you tire of reading and sleepingon
ship—board, one resource is always left, that
of eating. The relish with which we attacked
our clam chowder, canned fruits and other
viands showed that we appreciated the situa-
tion. The steward, a Rockaway Beach man,
proved himself from the start an experienced
caterer, and through the generous foresight
of our host especially, seconded by others,
we enjoyed hotel fare all the way.
Afternoon brought a lively breeze which
,carried us well on our course. While the.
sun was setting in a blaze of glory which
cast its cfiulgence over the waters of the
Sound, fringing with fretted gold the clouds
that began to darken the west, we entered
the quiet harbor of Northport where about
twenty craft already lay. This village forms
part of the township of Huntington, has a
good hotel, many boarding houses, pleasant
drives, a fine beacb,somc fine residences with
well laid out gardens and is connected with
the rest of the world by. a branch of the
Long Island Railroad, which terminates at
Port Jefierson. Speaking from our experi-
ence the ice cream furnished in the saloons
of Northport cannot be recommended, what-‘
ever may be said of the fishing and scenery.
The next morning we were off at five
o’clock, and at noon entered Port Jefferson,
where, with other supplies, we secured two
tons of gravel from the beach, for additional
ballast. Our next objective point'was Green-
port, which head winds prevented our reach-
ing before an early hour on Sunday morning.
After this tedious beating about all night long
it was very pleasant, before sunrise, to pass
through Plum Gut into Gardincr’s Bay and
along a varied shore to our anchorage oppo-
site Shelter Island.
Here we rested till Monday morning, at-
tending divine service at Holy Trinity
Church, Grecnport, where the chaplain of
the party, your correspondent, preached,very
opportuncly as it appeared, the church hav—
ing lost its rector a few weeks before, and
being without supply for that day.
Greenport is a place of 3,000 inhabitants.
It was originally owned by one man, named
Beebe, who held the tract on which it stands
as a farm. He died only a little over forty
years ago. I saw the plain but roomy house
be occupied- Previous to his death he had
disposed of a large portion of the estate and
a considerable population had come in. The
growth of the townwvas at first promoted by
the whale fishery, nine large whalers at one
time‘ sailing out from Greenport. The men-
haden or moss bunker fishery and attendant
oil rendering is a leading employment now.
Harper’s Weekly for August 2d, has an ex—
cellent sketch of this business, giving its his-
tory and detailing the methods of carrying it
on. It has grown rapidly into large propor—
tions. The Booth House, at Greenp ll‘i, is
an attractive summer resort, well situated on
the water and filled with guests from Minne-
apolis, Cleveland, and other Western cities.
The Pcconic House is also well known.
There are eight churches and“ many handsome
residences which indicate a thrifty people.
The Long Island Railroad terminates here,
carrying passengers through to Brooklyn in
about four hours and a half for $2.60. It is
well for every one to try the Long Island
Railroad once in his life. If he survive he
will go along way around before trying it
again. The steamboat Colt also comes down
from New York on alternate nights.
Shelter Island lies opposite Greenport sep—
arated only by a narrow strait. The most of
the Island came into possession of Prof.
Horsford of Harvafi University, by mar-
riage, and a portion, to the extent of several
hundred acres, was disposed of by him to a‘
company who have erected the Manbansett
House, capable of receiving four hundred
gues This hotel is a favorite resort for
the hting fleet, but at present the visitors
are few. The schooner yachts Atalanta,
Clytie and Kate are lying here, and on the
ways at Greenport is the famous schooner
yacht Madeliene, refitting for her summer
cruise. Another and much larger portion of
Shelter Island is owned by the Camp Meeting
Association, who have erected quite a village
of cottages, an observatory and a large hotel,
the Prospect House, which is filled with
guests. Here will come next month, thous—
ands to engage in religious services, some
times eight or ten thousand being present in
one day. The best of order is maintained,
and because of these wholesome regulations
and the natural beauty of the spot, this
headquarters of the Methodists is becoming
. increasingly popular. We are now getting
under way for Block Island.

Habits of the Blue Fish.
The fish is known as the blue fish in New
York, New Jersey and New England, except
in Rhode Island, where it is recognized by
tile name of horse mackerel. On some parts
of the New Jersey coast it is also called the
horse mackerel. Form of body oblong, bead
rather large, snout rounded, mouth large,
armed with long sharp teeth; tail deeply
forked; color brilliant steel blue and silver in
the young fish, and deep greenish blue in the
old fish, fins yellowish.
The blue fish is apclagic or wandering fish,
passing its winters in the south and its sum-
mers in the north. In March and April they
are found off the Carolina coast. About the
23th of May they make their appearance off
the crust of New Jersey. Barncgat is a fag
voritc ground for them, where set nets have
taken as many as 6,000 in a single day. Very
often vast schools are driven upon the beach
by porpoises and other large feeders. wheie
they have been gathered up by the cartload
with pitchforks, baskets, etc. Other schools
have chased the shiners, moss-bunkers, sar-
dines and anchovies upon which they prin-
cipally feed, close in shore, and have been
jigged from the surface by the hundreds.
The May fish range from two to twelve
pounds in weight, are poor in flesh, and rav-
enous as sharks. In June they are found
equally abundant off and in Fire Island inlet,
and in a few days thereafter are scattered
off Montauk Point, the east end of Long Is-
land, Shagwauna reef, and other reefs ad-
jacent. By or near the 20th of June, de-
pending something on the forwardness of
the season, they have spread themselves over
the reefs of New London and to the east-
ward, on to Block Island and thence through
Fisher’s Island Sound. By the 20th of Au-
gust they are in plentiful supply all through
inside and outside of Vineyard Sound, Nan-
tucket, etc. They have . gained flesh, and
become quite palatable. The size here
described is seldom found to the westward
of the Connecticut river. 0n the main of
Long Island Sound it is quite interesting
to see them drive the menhaden, or moss-
bankers in shoals, causing a “sleek” on the
water as they spill their oil when they chop
them up with their great sharp teeth.
Early in June a size of about three pounds
weight make their appearance at the same
points, though much fatter, and.remain in
the vicinity of the same grounds for perhaps
a month. In July they spread out to the
eastward, up Long Island Sound to Saybrook
Bar and Faulkner's Island, and westerly to
Stamford, and remain until October, though
oecasionally' shifting ground for their food,
which, in addition to the mosc-buukers, con-
sists of small species of “shiners” (anchovy.)
On some of the outer reefs they remain but
one or two days at a time.
About the middle of July the small creeks
and rivers, from Stamford eastward to the
Connecticut river, abound in a size weighing
about a quarter of a pound,which in a month
grow to half a pound, and these feed on a
size still smaller, recently spawned, and
scarcely an inch and a half in length. The
surface of the Housatonic river, - from the
railroad bridge to the mouth of the river, is
annually covered from bank to bank with
countless numbers of this small fry, drift—
ing with the tide as it ebbs and flows, while
at the same time a size larger, say about a
half pound in weight, is feeding upon them.
from beneath. About the first of September
the small fry are sufficiently large to ven-
ture into the sound, and they swarm in the
creeks and harbors, affording great sport
to lads who catch them with a float line,
.with shrimp,for bait. By the month of
October both large and small fish are '_fat-
tened.
The peculiarity of this fish is that,by about
the middle of October the large size, that
weigh from nine to fourteen pounds, are
generally found from Nantucket to Watch
Hill, around Block Island and outside of
Montauk Point ; while from Stamford east-
ward to New London, on the outer reefs,
they are of a uniformsize and of about two
and a half pounds weight, and those in the
harbors and creeks are a mixture of small
fish just spawned, and a size that weigh
from one-eighth to one and three-quarters
pounds. Another singular feature is, that
by or about the twelfth of October, or the
first freezing weather,tbesc fishes of all sizes.
up to two and a half pounds, vacate the
northern harbors and sounds; and so sudden
has been their departure in many seasons
that a change of tide has utterly emptied
the waters of their teeming fish-life, with
the exception of an occasional pensioner who
has been bitten or disabled, and dare not
run the gauntlet for southern climes. More
singular still, the great mass of fish, except
the newly spawned, take the coast within
one or two miles of shores, part of them
stopping, if the weather permits, ,at the in-
lets of Fire Island, Egg Harbor, Townsend's
Canarsie Bay, Cape May, and so on along
shore, using up all the feed herein, and by
the month of December they are found in
the creeks and. rivers of North and South
Carolina, where they remain through the
winter, to migrate next season to northern
waters.
But what becomes of the small, newly
spawned fish that disappeared the previous
fall?, Have they been eaten up by the
larger fish on their journey, or do they re
main at the north ? They are not seen again
in the south, nor do the larger fish spawn
there.
Four generations bf blue fish make their
appearance in our waters at the same time.
It is only about forty~flve years since the
blue-fish were first seen in our waters. They
now seem to be increasing year by year in
size and numbers, individuals having been
caught at times weighing between twenty
and thirty pounds, whereas a twelve pound
fish was regarded as something remarkable
twenty years ago. Large shoals were also
uncommon until within the past dozen years.

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: In looking over Boynton‘s “History

Many and pointed orders have been issued
against that unmeaning abominable custom of
swearing, notwithstanding which, with much
regret, the General observes that it prevails
if possible, more than ever; his feelings ore
continually wounded by the oaths and un-
precations of the soldiers whenever he is in
hearing of them.
The name ofthat Being from whose boun—
tiful goodness we are permitted to must and
enjoy the comforts of life, is incessantly im-
precated and profaned in a manner as wanton
as it is shocking. For the sake. therefore,
of religion, decency, and order, the General
hopes and trusts that officers of every rank
will use their influence and authority to
check a vice which is as unprofitable as it is
wicked and shameful. .
If officers would make it an unavaidable
rulelto repimand, and if that does not do,
punish soldiers for offences of this kind, it
could not fail of ha ving the desired effect.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. .
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE Boris WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut abovo;
where they are at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases w'ejcan .unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe firerwhioh'so'veszbreaking them open.
2d. .Our. ‘gParsiv'rHrnesn CAP" consists
of the backlplajt'e of theidoor being hung on
hinges, andfastened by a thumb-screw,whic'h
enables one inhavcaoocss to the locks and
bolts by. sigpl’y’rfe'moving the thumb-screw.
3d. W ' 0. other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their '_ fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best founwheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and-for "
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood:lined as in other. safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with augle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pro -
. vents thorn from injury from falling, or fall—
-.. ing walls or timbers. Oui- Safes have muss:
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and. are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully ,proved got
the time, to these important improvements.
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity.r safes have attained throughout the
country. After‘that great fire we, published
a complete list of our Safcse'xposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, basides'tlfose
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged. our competitors to follow our example ‘
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usin doin-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great ‘Fire so conclusively
roved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we behaved that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim tormake, the BEST SAs'ir that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe ‘to keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, 'and
recommend. that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and’ many
safes are now in use that are painted. finely
outside, but are worthless to preser their
contents from fire. We make but class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

Lines to a Cat.
(Burlington Hawkeyc.)
I love ““30 011"; I love thy pleasant ways;
I love to see thee dozing round the house;
I lovc,through all these dreamy summer days ,
To watch thee circumvent the bashful
mouse; '
I love to hear thy calm, contented purr,
And stroke thy coat—so near,and yet so far,
But I love not, when starry night is come,
To hear thee, cat, with velvet-padded hoof,
Rapid as taps upon startled drum,
Or.summcr rain-drops, pattcring on the
roof,
For when thy claws slip from their velvet
jacket,
Thou art a wild Niagara cat; a cat a racket.
Sweet warblcr, when the radiant moonlight
falls
In mellow splendor on the haunted slied,
0ft have. I listened to thy plaintive wauls
And cursed thee, from my sleep dc'scrtcil
bed. '
How have I wept to hear thy long drawn
shout,
“Maria! oh-h Ma-ri-a! Comin’ ou-ont P”
0 cat ambitious! Thou wcrt born to lead ;
Thou art the first in pcace,in war,the furs ;“‘
And to provide for each and every need,
Thou never goest out without thy purrs.
And like most human vocalists who sing,
You get your back up, cat, at everything.
Why dost thou rage, vain eat, when sable
night, ’
With “dewy freshness fills the silent air,"
Why dost thou climb the roof to yell and
fighh
And rip and spit and snort and claw and
swear? , '
Dost thou not blush, sweet eat, when rosy
dawn,
Secs half thy fur clawed out, and one eye
. gone?
Oh, cat, thou would’st not thus disturb the
moon,
If to the temperance club thou would'st
butstick;
Thou would'st not fight,unlcss at some saloon,
Thou did’st get tighter,cat, than any brick.
I know you, eat; I see it in your eye;
Full oft you take your catnips on the sly.
Go, gentle cat. go from my lap and prowl
Upon the dizzy woodshed’s beetling height,
0n lofty dormer window sit and bowl,
And everything that weareth cat hair fight.
And I will love thee still, for all of that,
Because I would not have thee less a cat.
Yet hear! When midnight pauses in the sky,
I will arise from sleepless couch of mine,
And guided by thy animated cry
And by thine eyes so brilliantly that shine,
I will take down my trusty eulvcrin,
And with six pounds of buckshot fill tb y skin.
“It is also first on the woodshcd.

A Sound Legal Opinion.
An honest farmer once called upon the
late Roger Sherman, the celebrated lawyer,
and told him he wanted an opinion. He had
heard a great deal. about the value of Mr.
Sherman’s opinions, and how a great many
people went to him to get an opinion, and
John, who had never had, nor was likely to
have a lawsuit or other difficulty for a lawyer
to help him from, thought he would have an
“opinion."
“Well, John, what can I do to help you?
said Mr. 5., when John in his turn was shown
into the room.
“Why, lawyer,” replied John, “I hap-
pened to be in town, and having nothing
to do,I thought I would come and get your
opinion."
“State your case, John. What‘s the mat-
ter ?"
“Oh, nothing. I ain’t got no lawsuit; I
only want to get one of your opinions; they
say they’re veryyaluable.”
“But, John—about what ?"

What Happened to n. Pittsburg
man Recently.
Newspapers nowada sarc full of stories of -
the marvelous luck w ch has befallen peo-
ple who did not look for anything of the kind
to happen. Every now and then we hear of
somebody havmg a large fortune left to- them
by the death of a distant relative. a cousin in
California, or something of that kind. Not
long ago a young Pittsburger had a singular
piece of luck happen to him. One day the
young gentleman in question was walking
down Fifth avenue when he saw an old and-
rather decrepit man slip on a crossing and
fall heavily. He aided him to regain'his foot-
ing, and helped. him into a neighboring drug
store, where the old man had his leg mended
with sticking plaster,as he had knocked some
of the skin off. The old fellow seemed very
grateful for the courtesy which had been
shown him, and, after asking the name of the
young man who had been of service to him,
he wrote it down in a memorandum book,
and said, as he shook hands, “My name is
—-—-, I am from Massachusetts. Some day,
perhaps, you may hear from me.” Time
passed on, and all recollection of the occur-
rence passed from the Pittsburger’s mind.
He became embarrassed in business, and was
reduced to extreme poverty. -One day when
he felt extremely down-hearted, and did not
know which way to turn for a livelihood, he
chanced to pick up a Boston paper, and, to
his intense astonishment, he saw that the old
man whom he had picked up on Fifth avenue
was dead, and by his will, which was pub—
lished in the paper, the Pittsburger saw that
a fortune of over $300,000 had been left by
the dead man tofound a theological seminary.
The novel sight was presented to the Texas
legislature a week or two ago ofla member of
that body speaking in Spanish in advocacy
of a bill_making the payment of poll tax a
prerequisite] to voting. His argument, which
most of the body understood although utter-
ed-in_ a foreign tongue, was that at the last
election over one thousand Mexicans had
crossed over and voted in Texa. The Spanish
must have been persuasive, as the bill passed
the lower House.

Olive Logan tells the story of an American
girl at a London ball, who was found by her
mother in a remote nook of the room,_with
the arm of her escort, about her waist, and
her hand on his shoulder. The good woman
was indignant when the daughter» remarked,
“I had promised to dance, and was too tired
to keep 3“” word._ I’m just giving him .a
sittingsull waltz instead.” For her own
part we do not see the difference, but we
. suppose young ladies do.
