We have heard of the language of monkeys, aud cf the language of hens, and of the language of crows, aud even of anta, but it will be a new idea to most people, probably, that fishes have a language .of their own. An English fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been making some investigations that lead him to suppose that fishes have some way bf communicating a notion of their experiences to other fishes. . Mr. Field carried on his experiments in the fishponds of Mr. Andrew, at Guilford, England. Those ponds are full of, trout, which, at the time when Mr. Field first visited them, were so little accustomed to being troubled that when he threw a baited hook into the water all the trout in sighty-a great number —rushed eagerly upon it. He caught one, and removing it from the hook, threw it back into the pond. Then he put in a freshly baited hook. and only two or three trout came after it One of these he caught and threw back into the water. Again he resumed his fishing with a newly baited hook, and this time, although the pond was swarming with fish, it was only after a long time that he hired another trout to garly strangle» With a Talaat That Crete « Happy Marrl««a. One of tho unique characters of the state is Marcus Mote, the veteran Qua ker artist of Richmond. He ia now 78 pi™ of age and la very feeble. His UHiuory of tilings that happened in his yuuth tuid prime is keen and true, but the events of the day pass na. th« sum- '•? sw ciitads. ft was toe who first defied the Quaker antipathy to art in oil and bna-h, anil he secured the petition which caused the legislature to provide that the public schools of Indiana should < teach drawing. The petition was pre- < rented by Senator Baxter, since de ceased. Two years preYionsly tho Qua ker artist had secured the teaching of drawing in the public schools of Rich- mend by ordinance. , Marcus Moto’s talent was born with kirn. It is said of him that when only • f H years old his mother came home from meeting one day and found him scratching 5* rude p^flirb on thelbot- board of the bedstead with a piece of charcoal. The Quakers held that paint ing was of the devil and savored of ' idolatry. The boy was rebuked, with a -remark, “I do believe this mischief was born in theft. ” There was no relenting as the lad ‘ grew up aud the propensity to draw and paint developed- He was forbidden to indulge his 'talent, but he could not be repressed. It is evident that had be ■ met with encouragement and aid. in- Mead of rebuke, fame and*fortune would have crowned the artist with their rich est lourela ’As it was Marcus hod to take to the woods for his colors. . The primaries he derived from red root.-or from red ink, the yellows from, yellow root, aud for blue he was obliged to con tent himself with bluing from his moth- ¡? sr's washing tub. “The only stealing I have ever done, ” he said to a Journal reporter, “was in taking bluing from my mother’s bluing bag. Fas brushes I used the hair ip. Die squirrel's tail, and 1 used to accompany my father when hunting so as to get the tails for my painting. At first all my time it was entirely impossible to catch a trout in this pond. However, by experimenting in anoth- er pond equally well stocked mid hot throwing back any fish Mt. Field found that he could catch trout as long as he chose. The fish did not seem to under stand that the removal'of one of their number by this strange means meant danger to them, but came continually to the bait. If, Mr. Field reasons, it is only when the captured fish, released,goes back and mingles with his fellows that the danger ia learned, and then is learned instantly, it must follow that the re leased fish has some means of making the others understand the perils of the hook. This, whatever it is, may be called a language. Fortnightly Re NO HURRY IN NORWAY. These Norwegians are a wonderfully patient people, says a correspondent. They never hurry. Why should they?
