This is doubtless the tactics which will
be resorted to,or endeavored to be adopted
everywhere To be sure it was not COM
menced soon enough for Maine and one or
two other states, but there were few, If any,
persons whose hands were soled in those
localities. If expression of public opinion
can be stifled, If conventions can be kept
from resolving, and the newspapers will
refrain from talking about It, before two
years elapse, something new and startling
may come up, occupy the attention of
the people, and the "grab or blunder of
these men be forgotten, and they, again, re-
turned to Congress. We have the Inaugural
ton of both of these policies in the Vir-
ginia convention. Both parties are equally
to blame, says Plat, and as we are in the
minority we must keep still till they move.
When the democrats are called upon to act,
they will respond, quiet will be the most
advantageous to us-wc must not hazard
success by condemning the action of our
leaders Both, together, will say, as the
republicans have said II is not time to talk
about il yet. The question for the Ameri-
can people and for the press to answer is,
will they forget and condone the offense,
and retain these men in their confidence !?
After all our virtuous Indignation shall we
forget and forgive

A report comes to us from Philadelphia
that the affairs of the centennial are not MS
they should be. One account says there is
LOB" in the matter; another, that the
money is being wasted still another that
there is too much money used for display
and banquets, and the whole matter is
summed up in the statement that theCnited
States centennial celebration is fearfully
mixed" We trust there is no truth in
these charges, but while we remember that
it is easy to cry Sob" we cannot forget
that there has been too much jobbery
brought to light within the last year. After
all, however, men selected and brought to-
gether as the members of the commission
were would not be at all likely to eXpend
money foolishly or become mixed up in
jobs, although they might be mistaken in
their subordinates. If anything is wrong,
this furnishes the probable explanation.

South Oyster Bay, is the famous Massapa
quia pond, owned by the Hon. VIM. r.
Floyd Jones. This pond is the finest on
the island, and Is valued at 100000 A
few years ago, owing to heavy rains. the
dam of this pond gave way aud many fine
trout were lost. Mr.. Carman of Amity
vile, has been mentioned as u successful
trout breeder. A small stream running
from pond passed through his garden.
He wired IL at both ends to prevent the es-
cape of the fish, and in this pound or pen
he usually kept from fifty TO one hundred
fish, weighing from one to three pounds
each. His pond is valued at 100000
THE MrLLloSAIREs PONDS
At Babylon are several fine trout ponds,
including those of August Belmont, Royal
Phelps, Bergens and Others Bergens
pond is valued at 100000. The ponds of
Belmont and Phelps are valued at $4,000
Snedicors pond, or as it is now called, Side
Club Pond at Islp, is iished by that club,
which numbers 100 members, the entrance
fee being $500, and the yearly dues 500
The property is valued at 100000. Matt
lands pond, near by, is also fine improve
ment The owner had a costly experience
in failing at first to expel the pike and cells
which harbored in it and fed upon the
young trout, and to properly clean the bot
tom. There are two or three other valua-
bic ponds at Islip, and the Stump Pond at
Smthtown, formerly fished by the Walton
Club, still affords some good fishing, but
perch and other intrudcrs reduce its value
as a trout preserve. Willetts pond, at
Patchogue, is also a fine sheet of water
fished only by private parties.
Further to the east are also Il number Ol
good ponds, valued at from 5000 to $40,
900 each. There are streams on the nortl
side at Flushing, Glen Cove, Oyster Bay
Cold Spring Huntington and other places
mostly owned by private parties who fish
them exclusively, but make no attempt Al
propagation. Many of them are greatly
reduced in value, owing to a want of prop
er care. There are many fine streams be
tween Jamaica and Hampstead, but they
are fast being deprived of their finny in
habitants by the mercless ''pot hunters
who net and lime the hooks.
The trouting season on the island legally
begins on the list of March and ends on tn,
list of September.

WITH HER LITTLE HAToHET. "A few
days ago says the Troy 7maes, woman,
armed with basket and Ratchet, was seen
upon the Troy and Boston railroad track,
above Jacob street, gathering from the ties
all loose splinters, and that having been ac-
complished, she cody proceeded to fill
the remaining space in her basket by dill
gently using her hatchet on the ties,
chopping off large pieces, some measuring
two feet in length. No less than three per-
sons, witnessed this, and like the great and
good George Washington of old, she cody
admitted that she did it with her little
Ratchet.

WEALTH FOR THE PEOPLE.


now TO MAKE THE WORTHLESS LowLANDs
YIELD MORE FOOD THAN THE FRUITFUL up
LANDs-THE CULTIVATION OF TROUT IN AR
TIFIcTAL PONDS AND swARM1Ne HOUSES.
II Is beginning to be understood, espe-
cially in the North Atlantic States, that
the profits of "fsh farming" as it is fami-
liarly called, are enormous in comparison
with the original outlay necessary in the
preparation of the preserves, and this year
the increase in the business is unpreccden-
ted. Seth Green's assertion made years
ago, that IAN acre of water can be made
to produce twice as much food as an acre
of good land" is accepted as a truism, and
capitalists are availing themselves of every
opportunity to buy lands with eligible
streams and ponds, intending TO go into
the business on an extensive scale. Vari-
Gus kinds of edible fish can be raised with
profit, but the brook trout Is the favorite,
because the most profitable. Regarding
the "Gomesticated" trout, recent writer
has said that as market crop there is no
other which, for the amount expended,
will yield so large return. 1t can be
grown with limited supply of spring
water on the properly prepared refuse of
the dairy with as much certainty as pork,
and at less expense per pound The rela-
tive market value of the two is well known.
Pork seldom commands more than ten
cents, while for brook trout there is an I'M
limited wholesale demand at 81 per pound,
and choice lots, properly reared, fed, and
marketed, command ready sale at S1.2j
per pound. Indeed, if one is disposed to
retail them to clubs, restaurants, and hotels,
large quantities can be sold at $3.50 per
pound, the demand being constant during
the season. One of the most successful OF
our trout cultursts, Mr.. Stephen c. Aims
worth, has estimated the profits of his opc'
ratons as follows:

The public debt statement for July shows
a decrease of only a little over three hun
bred and seventy thousand dollars. The
smallness of the decrease is said, by the de
partment, to be due to the fact that, at the
commencement of the fiscal year, large
sums of money are placed in the hands OF
disbursing agents with which to make
quarterly payments.

CRASH ON THE HUDSON RIVER
RAILROAD.
Wreck of n Saratoga Express Train.
NARROW ESCAPE.

The Saratoga special express train,
which left the Grand Central depot, New
York at o o'clock Friday morning, via the
Hudson River railroad, met with disaster
midway between Irvington and Tarrytown
that so badly wrecked the elegant train as
to compel its abandonment. That score
or more of lives were not lost was due
solely to the streak of good luck that at
tended the casualty. rather than to any pre-
cautions of the company. Indeed, early
in the day it became rumored through the
city that an accident had befallen the
train, land anxious friends of passengers
hastened to the depot in pursuit of infor-
nation. But they might as well have ap-
piled anywhere else for all the satisfaction
they obtained.

To Wives.

Consider it your religious duty to take
outdoor exercise without fail each day
Sweeping and trotting round the house will
not take its place; the exhilaration of the
open air and change of scene are absolutely
necessary. Oh! I know all about Lucy s
gown that is notfoisbed, and Tommy jacket,
and even his coat-his buttonless coat thrown
into your lap, as if to add the last ounce to
the camels back; still l say, Up and out.
Is it not more important that your children,
in their tender years, should not be left moth
erless, and that they should not be born to
that feeble constitution of body which will
blight every blessing? Let buttons and
strings 90. You will take hold of them with
more vigor and patience when you return,
bright and refreshed and if every stitch is
not finished at such moment-and 1t is
discouraging not to be able to sympathiIe in
your best effort-still remember that "she
who hath done what she could is entitled
to no mean praise. Your husband is un-
dOubtedly the best of men, though there are
malicious people who might answer that that
was not saying much for him. Still, he
would never, to the end of time, dream Ol
what you were dying Of. So accept my ad.
vice, and take the matter in hand yourself

The Right Way to Begin.

A little girl once said: ooh, mother, how
very hard it is to do right! I don't believe l
shall ever be able.
"Have you really tried, my dear ?"
ooh, yes; I try every day. When 1
awake, before I get up, l say to myself; L
will be good all the day; l will be gentle
and kind; Twill obey my parents and teach
ers; 1 will not quarrel; l will always tell
the truth But then, mother, l don't know
how it is, 1 do so often forget. Then, when
evening comes, I have to say: There now,
what is the use Of trying? | have been in
passion have heaa essso54 Gient, and once
or twice, mother, you know, | have said
what was not true. The dear child seem
ed very much ashamed while saying this, so
her mother looked kindly at her, and only
said: "My dear, do not think you have
begun right" The little girl looked up won
deringly, and her parent went on: The
first thing is to have new heart; have you
asked for this ?" "NO, mother; am afraid
not" "Then, my child, do so at once
Good fruit, you know, can only come from
good tree. If your heart is wrong your
conduct will be wong You cannot make
it right yourself with all your good reSolu
tions but ask God, for Christ's sake, tc
help you. He will give you his Holy Spirit
and you will not fad it any longer impOssi

child took her mothers advice, That every
day she asked God earnestly to change her
heart, and help her % do right. She pray,

sins, and was able, by Gods grace, to lead
the life of lovely yogng Christian.

WoRKING.-We talk much of working,
but working is better than talking about
working "to get really at it, and do some
thing for sOul-winning, and spreading abroad
the glory of God, is infinitely better than
planning and holding committees" Away
with wind-bags! Let US get to acts and
deeds None of US know what we can do
till we try. The sportsman will tell you
that there may be many birds in the field,
but you know not how many till you walk
through, and then you discover them and
see them on the wing. When the wheel
turns you will be able to see the force of the<

work and the tool that is blunt will get an
edge by being used. Shine, and the very
light you have shall grow in the sry act of
shining! He who has done one thing will
find himself capable of doing two; and doing
two will be able to accomplish four; and
having achieved the four will soon 90 on to

The People who Msan to Resign


IL nearly every church and Sabbath
School, in fact u sEly every benevolen
organization, there % found one Of two
people immepl4y dole, often of rare ex
ecutive ability, useful and willing, who ye
manage to neutralise all their good gifts, an(
render them of small account, by continually
threatening to resign. If bylaw is passed
resolution offered, change made without
their being deferentially consulted, they
hand in their resignation. If their services
are in any way overlooked, or taken without
thanks or special notice, they are slighted
and refuse any longer to work. In twenty
ways they rendes themselves unhappy, and
keep their friends in ferment.
Take them at their word, and receive
their action as matter of course, and they
are deeply wounded, for though they do moi
acknowledge it, even to their own hearts, they
rather enjoy in anticipation, the fuss that
will be made over their withdrawal, the so
licitations to return, and the conciliating
things that will be said. Fly to them with
open arms and tears in your eyes, and beg
them to reconsider and remain, and you may
be certain that teats and entreaties will be
your part, and sweet forgiveness theirs, for
periodical times in the years to come.
l have often thought that | would like to
say a few plain words to those people who
mean to resign, when things don't suit them.
In the FIRST place, Fer whom are you working
For the Master: Then why give up labor,
if your fellow workers offend you? Shall
Christ's cause be hindered while his people
stand still to dispute?
In the next, don't you thii4 that you may
be setting too high . value-On your own ser
vices? 1t is wonderful, after all, how well
the world aud the work can get along, even
without those who seem to be of the greatest
use and consequence A man or woman is
active in society, the church, in the Sab
bath School or CHRISTIAN Association
''What could WI do without--?" say
friends and fellow-toilers. But God has
other work for his servant, or he calls him
up higher A pause, little space for tears,
a vacant place soon filed, that is all 1t is
just ripple on the great ocean of human
activity. Like the old French proverb, The
king is dead long live the king" the sue
cession of Gods workers goes on, other hands
take up the weapons, other feet stand where
those stood, that are still forever, and while
from the earthly ssaddpoint this is humilia
ting, l think from the heaven side it is very
comforting For, after all, what are we
If Christ's kingdom but come, what differ
ence does it make BY what hands its banners
are borne? In the long roll of glory, nc
name will be left gu. Of all who have served
in his ranks.
Friends, think. Is there not something
unworthy, undignifel, in being SO ready &c
be hurt and wounded? Rather think les;
of self, and more of BIN who is the one per
feet type of unselfshness.-S. s. Times
