mon, in the natural process OF incubation,
produced only two young fish to every l.
900 eggs deposited. A female salmon OF
twenty pounds weight will deposit 10000
eggs, but she will bring forth only thirty
two young salmon, and all but two out OF
every 1000 eggs being lost from one cause
or another. By the artificial process
of hatching as conducted by the Com
missioners at the State hatcheries, $1,000
young salmon are obtained from TO-
900 eggs. The artificial process gives
nearly $40 young salmon to 1000 eggs,
and the natural process but two. 1t
is surprising that so wholesome and
deliciois a food as fresh fish has not re-
ceived more attention from the class who
perhaps, of all other classes of our people,
are best able to supply themselves at very
! little expense-the farmers. A large pro-
portion of the farmers land could, with
| very little labor or expense, make fish
pond covering couple of acres or more,
and stock it with several varieties of COM
mon fish that propagate rapidly and thrive
with very little attention. With pond
well stocked, and proper attention given to
secure constant supply of water, the
farmer may never want for fresh tsh-a
food that with many takes the place of meat.
The Enquirer says: The Blaine move
ment is still progressing in Ohio. The awful
question with the Sherman men is whether
Blaine will have a majority of the districts

the alleged favorite son. 1t makes but lit

In either case Mr.. Sherman, according
to his own showing, must waltz to the
rear.
The Gazette says: With reference to the
approaching Presidential election upon
which so much depends, the Republican
prospects in one sense are good, while in
another sense they are discouragins. The
| Republican party is now united party.
If properly managed there is no reason to
doubt success in November. 1t is how

to depend upon this. Because the Demo-
Gratis have been committing blunders for
many years, it would be unwise to depend
upon their perpetrating new folly or re-
enacting an old one in 1880. If the Re-
publican candidate is to be elected, it must
be done by The Northern States. There
fore, it would be worse than folly to put
in nomination, against the sentiments of
the party in the Northern States, a candi-
date for the Presidency. 1t would be a
mistake to nominate any man with the aid
of Southern votes against the preponder-
ance of Northern votes.-Dr.
G. B. Thornton, of the Memphis Board
of Health, emphatically denies the report
of two cases of yellow fever in that city
during March. The letter of staff CORE
spondent of the Gazette, however, printed
elsewhere, describes a sanitary condition
that gives every promise of return of the
pestilence sooner or later. Memphis should
cleanse itself at any cost.-Hanging for
rare is no longer penalty in any court
but that of Judge Lynch. If we can not
execute ravishers, we administer no ade-
quate substitute in sending them to prison.
The culprit carries thther all his vile de-.
sires and loathsome imagnations. If his
confinement is short. or he is pardoned out
as is too often the case, he may repeat his
crime. 1t would then be for the public
good as we'll as vindication of justice

the rendering him forever incapable of a
repetition OF his crime. Whether we con-
slider him monomaniac or malignant
criminal, we shall equally reach the ends of
justice. He will be freed from his infatua-
tion and be compelled to respect the laws.

The Volksfreund says: Grants friends in
Illinois have grave fears that he may lose
the State. Their fears are not without
foundation.-The School Board is now
strongly Republican-25 Republicans to IL
Democrats. Instead of politics having
been ostracized from the Board, the same
has complete control of it. The Republi.

for the Management OF the public schools
The Volksblatt says: The Indignation OF
the colored man aglnst the first representa-
