When flihing Is to commence In earnest, a barrel of salted dams Is taken on deck and opened for the crew to nso as bjdL Each man detailed for haollng takes two ftiU-rlgged lines, each of which comprises foor of the twenty-eight-fathom ahotsi Two hooks shonld be attaob- edto each lead, and while one line Is nmnlng oat he ■honld haul In the other frequently. The current Is generally strong enough to require flftcen or twenty folhoms of line in addition to the depth, In order to reach bottom. Now the new flahennan begans to find the literal mean- lag of the term a "rawhand." But, as the salt water Immediately heals the flesh, a man made of the right sort of stnff does not mnoh object to this method of being In- troduced among the hard-handed. Hauling In the flab Is e^erlenpe la practical, and may be depended npon. : Start right off to some nice Uttle Yankee seaport, stfch I ;;;;^i;iy '^nch moreirke hard work thim fashionable ,A T«^|.or«»>o"V *l»'i*7-fl'«.t« as well own np the truth about Mven'ty-Sye tons u.generally the most comfortable.

This Is the time for greenhorns and dandles to get such a " dreaslng dovrn" as they never had before. To a man who has been banling hll day It seems like a relief, eape- all weathers, wlnd^.or,cn^feu^B, ana lienoo the wear and tear of laila and rigging.

They come around the veisel in thonssnds, and on a calm evenbg their dbnal flnajnst break Uie aoifaco of the water; and, on hauling in a line, both- hooks are frequently miaaing in conae- quence of the nibbllngs of those saw-teeth intmdera. Then again, the nets for bait must be hauled in and picked every hour during the night, or else the " dogs " will be sure to spoil them with their merciless teeth. By the middle of August the dog flah may be conaidorcd masters of the ".grounds" and a smart crew ought to have their their second trip's buaineas done by that time, ea was the case with the party afores^d, who passed Soltnate Light on their way home, Aiigusi 16th.

The assertion that" the death of a great actor eclipses the gayety of a nation " was said of and by two of the moat endeared names In dramatic history. Undoubtedly, all who can boast of any fair share of Hamlet in their compoaltlon would be euro to join tu the gratitude which comes with the remembraoco when we say "Alas, poor "Yorlck I". of any performer whose aOiilitles may have de- lighted us in foruier days. By the recent arrivals from Europe we grieve to learn that the well-known Ton Bany is how In poor health and reduced clrcnmstauccB. " Poor Tom's a-cold,'' and on a bed of sickness. A benefit had been arranged by bis friends, and the 26th of March appointed for It at Aetley's Amphi- theatre in London, where the accomplished lessee, Mr. William Cooke, has done the handsome thing by ref^g to accept any remuneration whatever. The name of Barry is so associated in our minds with talent of every kind that perhaps the general reader may require to be Informed as to the particular Tom cat we are apt to speak of We therefore begin negatively to " ex- plicate," as foor Ton used to say. It la not the Tom Bar- ry who eo ably managea the Boston Theatre. Heaven forbid I Nor the Barry SnlUvan who stands confessedly one of the best elocaUoulata on the British atage. But poor Tom Barry, the mortal performer of immortal jokea and humanizing Inflnencea, whose sayings and dohigs' as " Brother Bongs the Olown " have " many a time and oft" not only kept "the teble hi a roar" but "brought down the house " in uncontrolable fite of laughter. Harry Bo- leno, and some other pontomhnlc friends in London, have johed In thia movement bom the first, and we expect to see Brother Bunge once more get" started" wlthj" a loud report" in his ihvor, enjoying the glories of his ever- green ahomrocka amidst tiie snnahlue .of friendship and health. To auch a man of noble Impulse and genuine humor, 111 health la ruination. We know how well' pride and gentleness are balanced In hla noble heart, and can assure ttio public that there la not apartlole of beggarly depend- ence In Tom Barry's organisation. - Bis voice, bis strength, his deportment, his good spirits, are the tools he works with. Unless he bos them, he must, (like miany another brave man thus situated,)' temporarily appear in a condition of helplessness. Dnriog a meethig lately held at Harry Boleuo'a, for the purpose of arranging the bene- fit to Poor Tom, the iollowing lines were contributed to the adverllacment adopted:— Itae ahaUsr'd rend, rOIllDg on Uio tock, In psrll (Ushcd by every uipy mve, Looks to Uit beach it eacli aucceedUig sbock, Jiut as a dying sun would cry " Qod aavo I" Tom Barry's bulk no mnro can bravo the sea Unloet vie Urobott, sweot Vhllontbropy, Puis olT woU oanntd, lo ply tbo willing oar, And nrlog.lila brtaklng timbers salb lo sliore.

LIAHIlilBBB-HBAlXH-AKIIBBMSHi' Still another evidence of the publio feeling in regiid to the Cuma's health doctrines. Is evinced in the fact that a swimming Khool Is about to be establidied hi this city by an enterprising individual, named Sledenbnrg, t Gennan. The liibune stetcs that lit. S. proposes to opai B(jiool for the purpose of teaching ladles and gentlemed the art of swlmmhig. For this purpose ho will erect a building abont 60 by 80 feet, in which will be alaigt) tank about SO or 10 feet square, and of a sntSclent depth to admit of the performance of all the iavolutlons of the' most accomplished swhnmer. This tank will be Ul^ with Croton water, which will be warmed to a oomfortable- temperature by means of steam pipes, so that the estebllcb>: ment will be made available in winter as well as hi hot. weather. Female teachers will . I>e .employed, to instruct women, and certain days, or' certain hours of each day,; will be devoted exclusively to them. Ur. Blcdenburg claims that In a abort time, va^bg i^om two weeks io^ three months, according to the capacity and amount of, practice of the learner, he con teach a pupU all that Is' actually neceesary to be-acqnlred, to that he will hav^, perfect command ofhlmself in'deep water. Any number of fantastic antics could of . course then be learned eaeiiy,: No one will deny that swimming should be an accomt)lldr ment of every gentleman, for even If It is never called into requisition to rescue him from perils by sen, it la al- ways a pleasant and healthful .'recreation.
