INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The fraudulent acts of bogus and dis
honest foreign insurance companies are
forcibly portrayed in an editorial copied
from the Marshall Herald
That paper will receive cordial sup
port in invoking the severest laws to
compel all such impositions to furnish
adequate security for the fulflment Of
all contracts and penal statutes te
punish their officers and agents foi
traitorous acts.
No citizen should insure his life OF
his property unless he is presented with
indubitable testimony as to the solyency
and integrity of the company with
which he contracts, and means should
be afforded him to readily obtain thi.
proof.
There are companies operating in this
State having accredited agents of re.
cognized responsibility in Dallas that
can at all timos furnish testimonials as
to their financial status and good condi.
tion, and TO these known and respon.
sibie agencies should insurers ALWAYS
apply for reliable information.

FISH,.

Texas, and especially North Texas
which is so destitute of good fish, should
begin to realize the fact that every acre
OF our waters properly stocked, will
yield more food than an acre of our
richest prairies. In. Canada, after a
thorough stocking of the public waters.
and the time for attaining the requisite
growth having passed, the sales of fish
have increased over $1,000. 900 year.
New York, by a judicious stocking OF
her waters with salmon. trout and shad.
has succeeded five years in reducing the
price of the latter from eighteen to
three cents pound, while waters before
entirely barren of the two former aryie
ties are now finely stocked. Wisconsin
last year appropriated $4,000 to the
development of fish culture, and the
commissioner of that State is Matching
i0,o00000 salmon and whitefish.
Several other western States have ap-
propriated from $1,000 to S20,0 for
the same purpose. 1t is time that
owners OF Our lakes and springs should
look TO the fish interests of the State,
and begin TO furnish US this excellent
iood here at home. instead of shipping
it stale and partially putrid from our
gull ports or the lakes near Jefier.

THE commoDoREs SECRET.

The New York Sun remarks that the
success OF the late Commodore Wander
biit IN steamboating and railroading
whereby he amassed a, larger fortune
than any other private person during a
lifetime, has naturally awakened a
strong desire to learn the secret of his
uniform and most surprising achieyn
ments. The commodore himself weeh
questioned upon the subject during the
latter years of his life, gave various ex-
plantations of it. To one young man:
who was about entering upon the career
OF Wall street broker. and who had
sought his counsel, he said: Sonny
don't never sell what you havn't got"
which was nm excellent piece of advice

who takes financial risks. whether in
Wall street or elsewhere, and it would
be an excellent maxim also for poli
tician. To another aspirant for for
tune, who asked his advice, he said
Don't never buy what you can't pay
for .
These were three admirable maxins
Tor business, and he probably acted
through his long and successful tcareer
IN strict conformity with them. He
never speculated. nor made any rash
ventures But his favorite maxim, the
one upon which be set the highest yaIae
and most seriously inculcated upon
'noSe who were on the most intimate
terms with him, was condemnation
