He hal a large and flourishing flsh.market of his own to begin. This gives him a practical knowledge of the food fishes of the country. Year in and year out eighty -throe different kinds of fish and 'Einer creatures that are good for food are be found at his depot. Besides that he has a rare museum. of Curious water ani- mals, living and dead, that are to be found around the coasts and in the inland Waters of ,America. He has a taste for such collec- tions, This gives him both practical and scientific knowledge of --fishes, .and readily makes him what he is, the leading fish com- missioner in New York, The practical part of the business is down stairs, Here are greattables with blocks of ice upon and about them. Upon them you inay see beautiful salmon; graceful, shining Spanish mackerel, grotesque flounders, white fish from the'great lakes and innumerable other delicious and handsome food fishes: Occasionally you will see a very fine speci- men of the home -raised carp, whose culture can be undertaken on any farm where a pond of water can be made. 1' •i.

When it is hbld inthe hand it inflates itself,, the spines bore into the fingers and palm in a way that is extremely painful.

'In this it ftrstated that all Irish industries, with the single exception of linen manufac- ture, are in a deplorable condition.
