In your issue of this date 1 notice a

l now desire, through your paper, to
refute the foul inference which he
leaves to be drawn, that l now hold
some of the county money, and have
failed to settle with the commission

that the motive of the writer was
mean and malicious, as he evidently
seeks to injure me in my private bus

Fish Culture.

Seth Green, of Rochester, N. Y., writes of the value of fish-producing waters;
 "We have in this state 647 inland lakes, covering an area 466,457 acres. Every acres of this water area is equal in value as food-producing element to the land, when properly stocked with the inhabi- tants of the water, without which this vast amount of surface is valueless so far as the production of food is concerned. Estimating the value of water surface, acre for acre, as equal to that of the land, it is found to reach the sum of S35,- SS9. 200 in round numbers. This does not include the creeks, rivers and bays, which would undoubtedly double the sum. Through the efforts of the New York state fish commissioners the barren or nearly depleted waters of our state are fast being restocked with the best varieties of fish; and if they are allowed to continue their work for q few years longer. the value of our water area will far exceed that of the land. Until the organization of the fish commission, in the year 1868, the destruction of fish was carried on without scarcely a thought as to how long the supply would last. The people finally became alarmed at the rapid dimunition of fish in our waters, and saw that unless something was done to increase the supply, fish must eventu-. ally become unknown as An article of food.n

Jane Carlyle ana Mir. Tennyson.
Chambers Journal.

Although, in her very girlish years, Mrs. Carlyle seemed to have much more of the nature of clever, jubilant boy than of girl, no one, either lady or gen tleman, ever spoke of Jane Carlyle but with respect and good will. She was an accomplished letter-writer, and there was something in her style at once easy, atiectionate and pleasing. She kept up a regular correspondence with her ola friends; and scarcely ever let new year or a birthday pass without sending them seme newly published book either anus ing or instructive. had one or two ex. ceedingly pleasant letters from her after our brief acquaintance, At that time, seeing that was devoted to Tennyson she sent me his likeness, giving me some curious literary information, and remark ing concerning "Maud"-whIch had, think, just come out at that time-that before it was printed, Tennyson used to come and read it aloud to her, and ask her what she thought of it, Her reply the first time was, "I think it perfect stuffP Slightly discouraged by this re- mark, the Laureate read it once more, upon which Mrs Carlyle remarked, "It sounds better this time% and on being read to her the third time she was obliged to confess that she liked it very much. This little incident shows how Tennyson must have valued her clear ludgnent and excellent taste.

The Female Novei.srs Hero.

Blackwood's Magazine.
 In the old times, when literature was chiefly in the hands of men, women were elevated to a visionary pinnacle; but now it is the turnof the stronger sex, and there are few things which more sur prise the male reader than the ilattering picture which he fines presented to him of his own species in the shape of be- roes who to him are very questionable specimens of the race.
 Once more we repeat, there is nothing inscrutable as woman's hero. Being perfect as he is, he may conduct himself hke the basest hound, and nobody thinks any worse of him. He remains to all parties as high>souled and mag nanlmous being as ever, even after his extremely silly and futile attempt to lead the conscientious little heroine astray.
 This unconscious homage ought to soften the gentlemen sf the newspapers; but here, we fear, another principle comes in, and your critic, who feels himself every way more desirable specimen Of humanity than the much, landed hero, and who knows that no such appreciation awaits him, becomes jealous of his imaginary brother.

The Morals Of Art.

The artists who supplied tbe leading illustrated London journals with what purported to be faithful illustrations of the interior of Slade's School of Art have greatly fiuttered the matrons of Mayfair and BelgravIa. With painful accuracy and detail, tine Studies from the Nude" have been delinea.ed, and the contiguty of the students, male and female, is only too apparent. "To the pure all things are pure." l grant the platitude, and to the true art'student real talent coupled with ambition ] looks enly for the ideal in what to an outsider may appear crudely material. But among the earnest disciples Of art may be found numbers of dilettante dab. blers, who, at the age when parental so- licitude IS most necessary, on the plea that they can weild a pencil. are per mitted, at the age of b or Is, to@mix with youths and men of uncertain rank, and discuss Get us presume artisticalIy the anatomical proportions of q nude statue or a scantily drapel model. It doubtless sounds highly classical to talk of the antique" but to pure men and women the idea of chits of children studying from undraped statues Is sim ply repellant. It is fact that about q year ago proposal was set on foot by certain female students that nude mod. els (female) should be supplied 10 the art classes. An animated discussion on Inc subject ensued, and many ladles left. Certain forts esprjts, however, emi- grated to Paris, where they study from the nude to their hearts desire. In the meantime, Parliament, which is so so- licltous for the welfare and morality of the rising generation, should enact q law regulating the admission of aspir- ants into schools of art totally disallow- ing the "mixed" classes.

A QUEER thing: Jones says that there is one thing about which heand his wife can never agree. When he says a wom- an is homely, Mrs. J. always sees some thing interesting about her, and when he speaks of another as pretty, his help mate will inevitably declare that she. is positively ugly, or at least remark that she cannot for her part see where peo- ple's eyes are. Greater philosophers than Jones have pondered over this same problem during their whole lives and died at last, leaving it unsolved, Contemporary Rsvieag.

Education in the south.


 General Armstrong, of the famous Hampton negro and Indian school, got some Massachusetts people into parlor the other evening and told tLem some things they didn't know before about the New South. The change of senti- ment in regard to education within twenty years, he said, was wonderful "the most wonderful in all the history of civilization" No one of the colored teachers graduated at Hampton had en- countered hostility. Everywhere the best white people welcome and encour- age them. The worst opposition comes from the illiterate colored preachers of the old type. Another interesting fact mentioned by General Armstrong Is that the Southern colleges for white youth are crowded with young fellows who are living on hominy in order to get an education"

The story of the Boy who went Fishing
 A Little Girl Good Deed.

Roy had fished in the ditch by the load a great many times; but he had only a bent pin for fish>hook, and piece ot twine for line. He never caught any fish there.
 When he was 6 years old his uncle James gave him real fish-hook and q line, and after good deal of coaxing his mother said that he might go down the cow-path to the brook and fish for trout.
 Uncle James caught great many trout in the brook.
 Alice wanted to go with Roy: and Roy, who is very kind to his sister, asked his mother to let her go.
 Alice carried the basket, t,--aprettylarge one. Mary, the cook, told them to be sure and get it full of fish, so that she could fry them for dinner.
 How proud and happy they were ] Their mother could see them from the window all the time.
 When they reached the brook Alice sat down on rock. Roy put a worm on the hook, and dropped the end of the line into the stream. But it was long time before he got bite. At last he thought he felt a nibble.
 Eve got one, Ally Y he shouted. 70, such big felowl You will have to come and help me pull him out'
 They tupged away on the line, and then they both fell over backwards.
 There he isw cried Roy. But when they got up and looked, it was not a trout at all. It was only a piece of q black root that broke off and gave them tumble.
 Roy tried again, and after good while he felt another nibble. He jerked the line out so quickly that the hook caught in the back of Ahce's dress It pncked her shoulder so that she had half a mind to cry.
 Roy could not get the hook out of her dress, and they went home for their mother 10 help them.
 Mary laughed at Key great deal. She told her uncle James at dinner-time that Roy caught the biggest trout she ever saw, and he had to com home for his mo ther to get it off the hook.
