The Central fish Culture So
ciety has been organized for the
purpose of stocking the great
western lakes with edible fish.
AS agriculture, or the artificial
propagation of fish, has for its
object the same end as agricui-
ture, viz: the production of hui
man food, it will interest our
readers to learn that at no pc
Rod In the history of this
science have its prospects been
more encouraging than now.
1t is estimated that every acre
of inland wpter is capable of
producing as much food, if pro-
perly stocked, as an acre of

takes an immense amount of fire to keen
the inwards of these two warriors in
health.
New York Times (Rep.): The question
as to whether Mr.. Tilden was or was not
elected President three years ago and was
or was not cheated out of the office, does
not enter into the canvass in any way to
affect it. Doubtless, some Democrats think
and talk about it now and again, butit will
change no votes.
Chicago Telegraph (Ind.): 1t may be that
willy Sam. Tilden has disposed of certain
bonds and $ ocks in his possession without
the knowledge or consent of Mr.. Cyrus W,
Field; but it will strike the average man
that if Field was not all inflated egotist he
would not imagine the public had any in
terest i'll his quarrels with fellow specu-
lator.
Pittsburg Telegraph Qnd.): The politics
of San Francisco is beautifully varied.
The tickets in the field are: The Republi-
can, Democratic Constitutionalist and
Workingmen, and all, except the last, conf
plicated bv bargains with each other. In
addition, the discontinued of all parties are
getting upa movement for an independent
ticket, selected from the best names in all
the Others
Portland [Me. Press (Rep.): To the prom
se of the outlook it is unnecessary to refer
at length. We need only say that it is
such as should form matter for profound
congratulaton to every Republican we'll
wisher We are on the home stretch, and
we hold the lead. In all sections of our
State, from the Piscataqua to the Penob-
scot, come reports of the most satisfactory
progress and of enthusiastic effort for the
cause.
Boston Traveller (Rep.); The elaborate
efforts made in certain quarters, and eager
ly seconded by the Democratic press, to
create the impression that General Grant
will not consent to be a candidate for the
Presidency again, is an indirect but unmis-
taxable evidence of the strength of his
name. If it shall by and by appear that
the reports of his refusal are authentic, the
Democratic party will feel a sense OF relief
too profound for expression.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.) A portion of
that extensive branch of the Fool family,
which settled in Mississippi so long ago as
to have come to be the leading family of
the State, with the possible exception of
the Barksdales have been holding a mass
meeting to denounce the Vicksburg Herald
for denolncing the mobs and bulldozers
that control the State. These people do
notsee that they are advertising the very
paper they hate, into an increase of circu-
lation and of Importance, nor do they see
that they are advertising themselves as fit
subjects for an idiot asylum. 1t is not the
fools that learn in the school of experience.
Wise men do that; the fools never learn at
all.

tyr out of Dixon than they can make a
Joseph out of Conkling. Bad material,
both.
New York Star (Dem.): When General
Ewing said that Providence was fighting
on the side of the Republican party he
meant that Providence was fighting to con.
vert it.
Ohio State Journal (Rep,): Now will
Reemein undertake to hold Sherman re-
sponsible for the imitation of currency con.
sequent upon the flow of filthy British gold
into this country?
Boston Post (Dem.): Butler is going to
change his tactics this year. His present
intention is to make only few speeches in
the principal towns Of the State, and give
them wide circulation.
Vicksburg Herald (Dem.): The Oxford
Owl is hooting for Mr.. Jefferson Davis fol
the United States Senate. If Mr. Davis
will do nothing for the Democratc-Con.
servative party of Mississippi, he will do i,
an incalculable service.

Thomas H. Stopfell and Helen Reed
were married at Ebensburg, Pa, against
the wishes of the Reed family, the brides
brother particularly having opposed the
match. The young couple were at the
village hotel getting ready to start on

into the room in great rage and attempt
ed to shoot Stopfell. The girl saved her
husbands life by seizing her brothers

Prohibition in GeOrgia.

A recent letter from Atlanta, Ca, to
the Columbus Enquirer says: "The Pro.
hibitionists seem to be getting bolder in
Georgia. Several bills prohibiting the
sale Of liquor in small towns have been
passed. McDuffie County has been forced
into the strait-jacket of total abstinence,
A bill-probably two bills are pending,
which declare that after the 1st Of next
January no spirituous liquors shall be
sold in Georgia outside of towns and
cities, and in them only under certain re.
strictions. The majority of the judiciary
Committee of the Senate have reported
against the bill, but the minority are fol
it. There will be enough support of it to
make an interesting debate"
