What Fish Culture win Do.

The following item from the Lynch
burg Republican of Aug. 4th shows
what fish culture will do for our
streams.
We are Informed that Mr.. Peter
Wrenn, of this city, caught in James
river last Saturday, in the back
water near Woodruff Island, about
Il mile and half above Lynchburg,
thirty-seven very fine black bass,
each weighing from one to one and
aquarter 81 pounds, and from ten to
twelve inches in length. These fish
were put in the James river about
four years ago by the Virginia Fish
Commissioners, and Mr.. Wrenn in-
forms us that they are now very
plentiful in that stream. He says
that he caught more than hundred
last week himself, and he knows
that other persons also caught large
numbers They are said to bite
very freely, and fine sport can now
be had angling for them. If the
seines are only kept out of the river
a few years longer it will become
most bountifulIy stocked with them.
The great thing is to keep seines
and set nets out of the streams.
and we hope the next Legislature
will pass some law for the preserva-
tion of game fish that can be enforc-
ed all over the State.

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.
A SheIbyviIIe Firms Advice to
the Bedford Farmers.
Correspondence Union and American.

Correspondence Union and American.
We are constrained TO the belief
that short crop i'm the North and
West and in California. and an ac-
tive export demand from Europe,
will necessarily give us remunera-
tive prices if we will hold our wheat
for -four or six months. The mar
ket is scarcely opened. and yet we
have buyers from Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois already amOung us, offering
to buy al; the good wheat that is
offered. This demand from these
wheat growing States never arise,
unless they have short crop. This
has inUuridbly been the case, when
their crop did not promise beauti.
full yield. Now an active demand
from Europe coupled with this de-
mand from the above named States.
has but one signiiication and that is
better prices. Now let our farmers
sell enough of their crop to pay
pressing Indebtedness. and hold back
the balance for higher figures. which
are sure to he realized. 1t is not
10 our interest, directly to thus adj
wise you, but you will all derive an
Indirect advantage if you will hold
and thus obtain higher prices. We
as merchants expect 10 make the
same profit on your wheat. when we
buy at $l50, that we wiz do when
We buy at $l,OO.
Now common sense will show us
that every class Of trade will be more
prosperous and flourisliDg when
the farmers is flush than when hdrd-
up. and it is vastly TO the interest OF
every department OF business to
work together to attain the end as
above stated. In the year 1872 we
had demand on us from both North
and South; the result was wheat
sold for $l.90. in six months after
the market opened at 81. If our
communication will convince one.
fourth OF the farmers that it is to
their interest to hold back their
wheat, then we will he content. We
think we are thoroughly posted as
to the wheat crop in the United
States. and we are willing TO stake

The Cholera Cure.

81 .f
More than forty years ago, SAYS
the New York Jo,o7,M of Commerce,
when it was found that prevention
for the Asiatic cholera was easier
than cure. the learned doctors of
both hemisphere drew up prescrip-
tion. which was published (for work
ing people) in the Neso York San,
aud took the name OF "The San
Cholera Mixture" Our contempora.
ry never lent it's name to a better
article. We have seen It i'm constant
use for nearly two score years, and
found it to be the best remedy for
looseness of the bowels ever vet de-
vised. 1t is TO be commended for
several reasons. 1t is not to be mix
ed with liquor, and therefore will
not be used as an alcoholic beverage.
Its ingredients are we'll known
among all common people, and it
will have no prejudice to combat !;
each of the materials is in equal pro-
portion to the others. and it may
therefore be compounded without
professional skill, and as the dose is
so very small. it may be carried in
tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket,
and be always at hand. 1t is:
Tinct. opii,
Capsici.
Rhei CO.
Menth pip,
Carnpho.
Mix the above in equal parts dose
ten to thirty drops. In plain terms
take equal parts tincture of opium,
red pepper, -hnbarb, peppermint
and camphor. and mix them for use.
In case of diarhaa take a dose OF
ten to twenty drops in three or four
teaspoonfuls of water. No one who
has this by HIM, and takes it i'm
time, win ever have the cholera. We
commend it to our Western friends,
and hope that the recipe will be
widely published. Even when no
cholera is anticipated it is at excel
lent remedy for ordinary summer
complaints.

Final Report of the Examiner.
WAsHINGToN. Aug. 6.-The Com
mittee appointed to examine tho
books and moneys in the Office OF
Treasurer Spinner report that the
money count began on the evening
of June 9Oth and closed the 18th Of
July. A thorough count was made
of every note and piece Of fractional
currency, and the coin was accurate
ly counted and weighed Since July
Is, the Committee have examined
the books and accounts and verified
them by means derived from every
possible source. The report shows
the following items of deficit:

The stolen package or T $1,000 con
sisted of notes that had been can
celed, preparatory TO sending them
to another division for final count
and destruction. The $50 counter
felt note had been in dispute be-
tween the person who received it
and bank which sent IL for redemp-
tiOn, and has, since the 30th of June,
been paid, as the Committee are in
| formed, by the bank. The shorts OF
$20.l5 have since been paid into the
Treasury by the persons with whom
these losses occurred. The excess
of $349' 39yis made up OF an aggre-
gate of covers" and shorts run
ming through a course of years, which
cannot be traced, amounting TO
$348 48 and two other items OF 81
cents. The discrepancy between the
amount of coin called for by the
books, and the amoHRt found ON
hand, included in the item OF $549.-
20, is occasioned by the fact that in
the redemption OF nickel coin it some.
times happens that some small silver
coin is included i'm lot and thus re-

room vault there was 20 packages Of
special deposits, which do not enter
into the accounts OF the Treasury.
They comprise various articles Of
value deposited by the Patent Ofice
bonds belonging to the Smith
sonian Institution, &c. The Com
mittee says:
"With tho exception of the de-
ficiencies and excesses above men
toned, and which, outside Of the
sealed packages stolen from the cash
room June 2, 1875. and the PACKAGES
of Cancelled notes stolen from the
Redemption Division, Feb rs, 1885,
are insignificant. we have found tho
money on hand in the Treasury prop
er TO correspond with the amounts
called for by the books; and the
correctness or the latter we have

The Desire for Great Wealth.

Perhaps no passion has been so much
stimulated in the American mind within
the past two decades as the desire to
accumulate great wealth. 1t is observ-
ed in all parts of the country and has
led to many evils, not the least of which
is almost the utter extinction of that
public spirited sentiment, or patriotism,
which formerly predominated, under the
influence of which men preferred to see
their towns, cities or country advan-
tagged; and they felt more honored in
this than in being regarded as the most
wealthy of their neighborhood.
To the lack of that love for country
and its reputation that pervaded among
the Fathers may be traced most if not
all of the enormous frauds which have
been perpetrated by members of the
National Legislature as well as members
of the State Legislatures and those hold
ing trusts in municipal councils. The
conduct Of Washington in declining to
receive pay for his services during the
revolutionary war; and tine generosity
Of Virginia in gratuitously ceeding to
the United States the vast territory out
of which several States have been erect
ed, and many acts Of public men in the
earlier days of the country seem to have
been lost sight Of for generation at
least.

On or about the 1st of May delegate
convention of the German Anti Custom
House Republicans will be held at the
Germania Assembly Rooms. Five dele
gates will be sent from each Assembly
district, and three from each of the new
wards. In some of the districts dele
gates have alrea ly been chosen, and
next week the organization will be COM
pleted. The German Republican Gus
tom House managers have threatened
that the convention shall never be al
lowed to meet, and that measures will
be taken to take possession of it, but no
serious trouble is anticipated. Vice
President Wilson, Congressman Wal
ter Phelps and others who are known
not to sympathize with Grant, will be
invited to address the convention. A
long document will be read exposing the
manpuvres of the Custom House lead
ers in the Eighth Assembly District.
This document is formidable indict-
ment. Among other things, it is assert
ed, proofs will be submitted and names
given concerning the system of fa'se
registration in the interest Of the Gus
tom House party. Furthermore, long
list of sinecures held by the favorites OF
the Custom House leaders in the district
will be given. Some of these men have
held at one time no fewer than five or
six Federal Offices. In the Fifth Assem-
bly, District Club a fight arose in conse-
quence of Gust om House dictation at
its meeting a few nights ago. aud the
