GERMAN CARP.

The cultivation Of the above variety OF tish
has attracted the attention of economists in
this country for the last few years, and has
been the subject of much discussion in the
public press. Impressed with the Importance
of this industry, we have, from time to time,
devoted several columns of the ENQUIRER to
the same subject, and in our issue of the 9Th
of last June, we published an illustrated arti'
Gle, giving all the necessary directions for the
proper construction of ponds, and other intor'
nation relative to the cultivation of the fish.
To the exertions of Hon. A. P. Butler, Agri.
cultural Commissioner Of this State, and his
zeal in advancing the industrial welfare of the
people, several of our citizens are already m
debted for small quantities Of the young fish,
which he has distributed for the purpose OF
stocking private ponds.
In this county, those who received them, to
our knowledge, are Major T. P. Whitesides,
Mr.. R. E. Guthrie and Mr.. j. F. Hlnson.
Major Whitesides lives few miles north
west of town, and Messrs Guthrie and Hinson
are neighbors, the former living at Guthries'
vile, seven miles southeast of town, and MIR.
Hinson q miles east of Guthriesville. These
gentlemen received twenty young fish each in
January last. Major Whitesides placed those
sent to him in his mill-pond, and he Informed
US last Monday that he has not seen them
since. Messrs. Guthrie and Hinson placed
theirs in ponds prepared for the purpose.
When placed in the ponds last January,
these young fish are described as being "about
the size and shape of all ordinary Congress
pocket-knife"
On the 3rd of June, Mr.. Guthrie wrote US
that two days previously he had drained his
pond, when he saw two Of the fish and found
that they had "made growth of ten inches
in length, and were very thick and chubby"
These two, as was subsequently ascertained,
were the only fish in the pond, the others
having been destroyed, evidently soon after
being put in.
Mr.. Hinson drained his pond on the 18th
of July, for the purpose Of transferring his
fish to another, and by invitation we were
present. Of the twenty, which, last January,
were placed in the pond, nineteen were found.
These, like Mr.. Guthrie's, were between three
and four inches in length when placed in the
pond, but on the day of draining it they were
found to have variously grown, the largest
being sixteen inches in length and six inches
broad, and the smallest ten inches in length.
This extraordinary growth was we'll calcu-
lated to strengthen in the minds Of the
doubling the opinion that the fish could not
be good, while the tAith of the more sanguine
was somewhat shaken. To set this matter
finally at rest, Messrs. Guthrie and Hinson
determined to practically test the matter with
the frying-pan. Accordingly, Saturday last
was appointed as the day for preparing one
of the fish for the table and submitting it to
the palates of number of gentlemen COM

TKE RED0UBTABLE REDMOND.

Major Lewis R. Redmond, the famous
moonshiner and hero of a hundred newspa.
per stories and Q book that is concen.
trated lie, arrived in the city yesterday in
charge of United States Deputy Marshals,
having been brought here from Asheyille,
N. C. As soon as the news of his presence
spread, there was considerable excitement and
curiosity, and many people visited the Jail to
obtain 8 sight of the terror Of the revenue
officers, idol of the more lawless portion of
the mountaineers, and admiration of the many
good people who, while not sympathizing with
the conduct of the prisoner, cannot avoid ad.
miring his dauntless courage and fertility Of
resources in evading and battling the officers.
The front of the jail was beset from early in
the afternoon until dark by little knots of
curious people, very few of whom, however,
we're grati6ed by sight of the redoubtable
captive.
A representative of the Menus found Red.
mond in The upper hall of the Jail leaning on
one crutch and cordially shaking hands with
Revenue Officer Holden who was just leaving.
Major Redmond has so often been written
up" that it seems hardly necessary that it
should be- done again. In fact, there is moth.
ing peculiar about him. He is rather tall,
somewhat slenderly built, with dark hair,
dark blue eyes, and face that, while not
cleanly cut, is bright and intelligent. He is
cleanly shaven excepta dark moustache and
light imperial. He was dressed in clothing
that seemed rather heavy for the season, con-
sisting of checked cloth coat, striped panta-
looms and dark waiscoat of some heavy rib
bed material. His color is good and healthy,
and his cheeks full. In one lapel there was
loose bunch Of common flowers carefully
pinned. He wore white shirt and collar
and a narrow black tie, and had pair of
coarse wooden crutches Altogether, one
would note him at sight as rather hand
some young countryman in holiday clothes.
There is nothing to mark him as being in
any way different from hundreds of others
who can be seen in town on any public day,
except his deep bright and rather restless
blue eyes. There is no indication about him
Of more than ordinary strength, and certainly
none of ferocity or desperation.
Major Redmond talked good deal, but
said very little of interest most Of his conver.
sation being devoted to his experiences on
his trip from Asheville and during his resi-
dence there He complained Of having been
"worried" at Spartanburg and Asheville by
visitors, and stated that at the former place
all who wanted to see him had been al
lowed to do so, by his arrangement, at

expressly mentioned those whom II met on
the train," and those who came under my
personal observation" If, however, in the
hurry of writing I did not sufficiently discrim.
mate between these and the whole class l
regret it. I did not intend in anything I
wrote to do an injustice to any individual,
much less whole class.
Allow me also to say that feel very CRATE
full for the good advice which has been dealt
out to me, 50 plentifully, during the past
week, from five or six newspapers.

North Carolina Midland Survey.
- The Pittsboro Record gives the follow
ing account of the progress of the survey Of
this road, which is to connect Goldsboro and
Salisbury by an airline, and will be the cas-
tern connection of the Western N. c. Rail
road with the sea coast. This, it may be
proper to remark, is an entirely different route
from the midland" contemplated from Dan.
vile, Va, to the South. The Record says :
"The survey of the Midland N. G. Rail-
road is nearly finished. Col. Gardner's party
have surveyed one hundred miles Of the
route-from Goldsboro to Marley's mills,
twenty miles west of this place, and Capt.
Gains party are surveying from Salisbury in
this direction, and will probably complete
their task this week. Col. Gardner, with his
corps of surveyors, after leaving here last
week, followed the course Of the old stage
road, in the direction of Asheboro, but he
soon ascertained that this route would be too
costly, so after arriving at Marley's mills
Gust in the edge of Randolph county, he
started upon his return to this place, run
ming new line on the northern side of
Hickory Mountain, and arrived here Tuesday
night. This line runs about half mile
north of Matthews X Roads, crosses Rocky
River mile north Of Hackney's mill and
passes within few yards of Emmaus church,
and is pronounced by Col. Gardner to- be an
excellent route, on which there would not
anywhere be a cut deeper than ten feet. This
line completely fanks Hickory Mountain,
and is no longer in distance than the old
stage road that runs right over that elevation.
"Col Gardner and his assistant engineer,
Mr.. R. J. Latta, will remain here few days,
engaged in making up their estimates, after
which they will wait until about the first Of
September before beginning to locate the
route upon which the road will be constructed.
Mr.. Best informed US a month ago that he
would build the road and have the cars run.
ming from Salisbury to Goldsboro in less than
eighteen months. We sincerly hope that be
may not be disappointed"

THE CROPS IN YORK.

From time to time. we have made inquiries
of persons living in different sections of the
county with regard, to the condition Of the
crops; but the replies given we're so diverse
that we have found it difficult to arrive at
satisfactory conclusion. 1t seems to be
conceded that many of the farms between
this place and Rock Hill are in sorry plight,
and the prospect in that section for cotton
and corn is very gloomy. The reports we
receive from the section including Zeno, Clay
Hill and the "Point" are to the same effect.
In the Philadelphia section, and for dis.
tance of four or FIVE miles southwest of York.
vile, the prospect is equally bad, as it is
also in the Clover and Bethel section. From
other sections of the county reports are vari-
GUS, but on the whole more encouraging.
Some farmers say their crops will be as good
as they were last year, while others in the
more favored sections say they cannot expect
as good an outcome as last years crop.
We propose to mail circulars this week to
gentlemen in various sections of the county
asking for information as to the condition of
the crops in their respective neighborhoods,
and when all the replies are received, will
publish them for the information of our read.
ers. To aid us in this, we hope that those
to whom we address circulars will be prompt
in making replies.

which had played over the senate broke
into laugh Davis Joined in the
laugh, and was escorted to the chair in
apparent good humor. When Davis
had returned thanks, Edmunds offered
motion thanking Bayard for the i'm
partiality displayed by him as presi-
dent. This seemed to strike the senate
as satire, and more laughter ensued.
Edmunds saw he had been miscon-
strued, and -ebuked the senators, and
then said he offered the motion in all
sincerity. and that Mr.. Bayard was en-
titled to thanks. because he had occu-
pied the chair at time when partisan
or partial rulings could have been
made, and would have worked injus-
tice. He insisted that Bayard had
been fair in all rulings. and the resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted.

PARNELL'S ARREST.
England Lays q Heavy Hand Upon
Irish Agitation.
Great Excitement in Ireland, and an
Impending Crisis.
Par.slI Arrested.

London, Oct. 13.-It is understood
that the determination to arrest Par
nell was only reached at yesterdays
cabinet council. The warrant was is
sued TO the detectives of London on the
arrival there Of Chief Secretary for
Ireland Foster, who left for Ireland
Immediately After the close of the cabi-
net council. Parnell was arrested on
two warrants. signed by Foster, chief
secretary for Ireland, charging him
with melting people to intimidats 9TH
ers from paying their just rent, and
with intimidating tenants taking ad-
vantage of the land bill. Parnell was
taken to the Kilmainham jail.
New York, Oct. 13.-Cables to the
Irish World from the secretary of the
land league, Dublin. are as follows:
Dublin, Oct. 13.-Parnell was ar
rested in his bed at his hotel this morn
ing. and Immediately locked in Kill
mainham jail. Ireland is In ferment.
Dublin is in state of terrible excite
ment. The city is an armed camp,
showing that this action has been pre-
meditated and prepared for. No event
in the history of Ireland has SO stirred
Dublin, and its only parallel is Paris at
the destruction Of the bastile.
(Signed) QUINN. Secretary.
Dublin, Noon.-The condition Of
things at this hour is awful. The
wave of indignation gathers force as
the moments fly, and there is no telling
when 1t may break, or what may be its
consequences. The land league execu-
tive committee is at this moment sit
ting, with John Dillon in the chair.
The worst is being prepared for. 1t is
rumored that the government will take
military possession of the land league
headquarters, and proceed to the ut
most extremity of brute force to re-
press the organization. Calm, but de-
liberate and decisive action can be
looked for from the men at the head. If
the men in America stand firmly by us,
there need be no fears of the ultimate
result.
(Signed) JOSEPH P. QUINN,
Secretary Land League.
P. A. Collins, president of the land
league Of the United States, imme-
diately on receipt of the news of Par
nell's arrest, sent the following cable
gram to the executive in Dublin:
Boston, Oct. 49, Sexton, Land
League, Dublin: Parnell's arrest is
Gladstone's blunder. Parnell in prison
must be its strongest force if the leagne
continues his policy. Stand firm and
keep cool. The British game has al
ways been to crush agitation in Ireland
by provoking civil war and defeat it.
Keep on the old line. Be patient as
you have been bold. The American
league will redonble its work and stand
by you to the end.
