Salmon in the Mississippi.
'emphis Avalanche.

These fishermen are phlegmatc fellows, and,
while they wondered, said nothing about it,
but left it to chance to come to light There
they We're, fat, shining salmon, splashing and
gasping hard for breath, on the fish dealers
tables In Bea Street Market yesterday after
noon, evidently fresh from their native ele-
ment.
why, where did you get these salmon?"
asked the passing buyer with wonder.
"Out of the river. Buy some sir?" as coolly
as though salmon, not cats. were the natural
piseatorial inhabitants OF our muddy river

Lots Buy some, sir? How do you like
this fellow Not even dead yet; you see
sir"
There is but one explanation of the presence
OF these fish of Northern waters in our great
mud river: Two years ago the planting of
hsh-eggS In foreign rivers was given great
attention, and Congress made a small appro-
priation for the stocking of rivers as an ex-
pertinent. Several bundled thousand eggs
were brought here and placed in the river
near Wolf Rivers mouth, Mr.. w. W. Mellow
ell footing the experiment The result long
since despaired of, is seen now In the fine fish
sold in the city markets. The theory, founded
on observation, is that fish will always return
to their place of incubation to spawn; hence
the presence Of salmon at this season at this
point in such great numbers. This success
full experiment should conduce to further at
tempts to stock the Mississippi river with
new and desirable fish.

TOOMBs' SOLE AMBITION,
He Does Not Want His Disabilities He

Governor of Georgia..
LAtlanta (Ga.l Constitution. Feb. I'll

ATLANTA (Ga.) Constitution. Feb I'll
In an answer to, correspondent, the opin-
ion iso expressed that Gen. Toombs will
probably be a candidate for Governor at the
next election In this connection there is q
little piece Of gossip that has come to us
from gentleman who Is a very close per
sonal friend of Gen. Toombs We had the
story from the lips of this gentleman, and
believe 1T to be correct. 1t appears that dur
ing the constitutional convention resolution
was prepared, asking Congress to remove
Gen. Toombs' disabilities. This resolution
was to be offered and passed by the conven-
tlon.. 1t was proposed to have the matter
quietly contided to Gen. Toombs just before
the resolution was offered, SO that he would
not spoil things by flying In the face Of the
attempt when it was made. Early on the
morning that the resolution was due it got
among the members that Judge Reese, Mr..
Little, OF Columbus, and others, asked Mr..
Toombs what it all meant. He very properly
denied any knowledge of the resolution and
declared that he did not want his disabilities
removed, and should kill the resolution il it
went before the convention. Under these
circumstances it was not offered. The draft
Of the resolution is nov in the hands of our
Informant. He says that he was talking the
matter over with Gen. Toombs afterward,
and expressed regret that he should have
stopped it, as it was the initial step of run
ming him for the United States Senate against
Gen. Gordon. Gen Toombs replied: II do
not want to go to the United States Senate.
| would not go if were elected. II / have
any political ambition at all, it is to be the
first Governor Of Georgia under the rule of
the new constitution"

HOW THE TOWN CARES FOR ITS
WARDS.
The OLD AND THE New WAY OF SUPPORTING
THE Pooh.

Whiting about q town farm, sua ed way off in
the country, is about as prolific subject as DIS
coursing on graveyards and tombstones; yet every
thing has It's history, and does the old town
farm in Vassalboro'. This ancient landmark en-
braces some one hundred and twenty-five acres Of
land, a large portion of which Is under a nigh
state of cultivation. The town farm was former
ly the property of Mr.. Elhu Getchell, but few
years al his deatl it became the properly of the
town, and since thu, day, nearly fifty years ago
its sol has been Tiled fol tae btneht of the poorer
| classes, who, through repeated reverses in life
| have been unal lie to exc out existence through
their own eXertious. At the September town
| meeting in 1880, the subject Of purch tsing town
farm brought up and thoroughly discussed.
1t fnaly decided that the best interest of the
| town demanded that such farm should be pur
chased, and the sam of $500 was appropriated
for this purpose. 1t was expressly stipulated that
this sum should cover all the expenses incident to
the purchase, aud that No more money should be
expended on any consideration. This was in the
| Ao)d old days when men were honest aud obeyed
the instructions of those in authority. When a
cettain sum OF moaey was Appropriated in those
days 1t meant just what it said, and one dared
todsobey those mandates. The committee ap.
pointed to make the purchase, consisted of Joseph
Ballard, Thomas Greenow and Samuel Redd ny
ton, and at meeting held in the following No
vember, the names of Benjamin Brown and John
Collins were added to the committee. This COM
mittee held several preliminary meetings, and
made careful exam ination Of several localities,
but found none more suitable, all things consider
ed than the p esert town farm. 1t eligibly sit
uated and the most inexpensive ofany place, which
came under the observation Of the committee. 1t

shores of the Webber Pond. OF the most de-

n There is a good deal of CANNON in this
political campaign. Gov. Anthony's organs are
claiming for him all the credit of securing the
allowance of claims of the State against the
Government. Papers opposed to Anthony rejoin
by giving the credit to Ex-Governor s. J. Craw-
ford. This thing is becoming ridiculous. Craw-
ford is one of the thinest men that ever rose to
high Office in this paradise of thin men, and he
got there solely because he was thin. Anthony's
appointment of Crawford to the position he
now holds ought of itself to defeat his nomina-
tion. Anthony lays claim to extra true blue Re-
publicanism. Crawford is a sore-headed thing,
who has been shystering with Greenbackers,
Democrats, aud everything else that would run
him for Office against Republican nominees. Yet
Anthony appointed him to place that he was
not fit to fill, when there were hundreds of Re-
publicans who were fit.
