A Georgia Fish Pond.

. One of the most lovely places in
Spaulding County is the carp pond of
Mr.. A. A.. Wright in North Griffin.
Those Of our readers who have never WIS.,
tied it can form little idea of its beauty.
Mr.. Wright,who is a genius in everything,
has devoted to the improvement of this
place his best skill and energies. We
must confess to some neglect in not Civ
ing more prominence to an enterprise
that has attracted so much attention and
favorable comment in Georgia, and
which has even filled columns in influ-
entail Western papers.
The pond covers an area of nearly an
acre, and is supplied with water by
large, cold spring that boils up in the
center, and water conveyed by under
ground pipes from number of springs
several hundred feet distant. The dam
is constructed in the best manner, being
planked up on the inside, of the best
heart pine lumber, with clay backing,
on which is planted Bermuda grass. In
side the pond, near one corner, is dry
well, eight feet in diameter and ten feet
deep, octagon shaped, at the bottom OF
which is a large hydraulic engine, or
ram, that forces water through pipes all
over the residence of Mr.. Wright, where
it isused for the various purposes needed
Kitchen, bathroom, Bookkeeping up
aconstant flow of water without the use
of tanks or reservoirs, having the same
pressure of an elevated tank thirty feet
high, and also keeping beautiful foun-
tain continually playing seven jets OF
water fifteen feet high. Around the top
of the dry well is strain2r or seive OF
wire cloth made to order in New York,
through which the waste water escapes
from the pond Thereby preventing the
escape of the smallest carp), thence
from the bottom through a water pipe
which conveys all surplus water and
waste from the pond and rain. Two
large weeping willows stand in the cen.
ter on an island built octagon shape, land
sodded with blue grass. IA. 49,.
The willows are the largest and hand.
soonest in the county and are exceeding.
ly ornamental Around the pond, on
the dam, are other large weeping viii.
lows, which make the place look cool
and pleasant. On the upper side il
planted row of magnolias and weeping
willows, and in the pond, spread on the
surface, bloom the beautiful yellow wa
ter lilies, yellow lotus, curcutian recur-
rata, calladiums, esculantums, and a
variety of other ornamental aquatic
plants. In the depth of the pond swim
the largest and finest carp in the State,
ranging in size from the tiny ones to
those % and "A inches in length. Of all
sizes there are a million of carp in the
pond, and in them very handsome
profit for Mr.. Wright.-GrtGa (Ga.)

A Talk with Girls and Their Mothers.

Rev. Washington GLADDEN. says, in 81.
Nicholas, with regard to some of the ele-
ments which 60 to make up a beautiful
womanly character: .........
"The first is industry. Willingness
and ability to work lie, as 1 have said
already, at the basis of all good charac.
ter. The moral discipline, the patience,
the steadiness of purpose, the power to
overcome, that are gained in work, and
only in work, are just as necessary to
women as to men; and the girl who is
given no chance of learning these traits
is sadly defrauded. After industry
comes thoroughness. 1t is not enough
to be busy; we ought to do well what
ever our hands find to do, else we may
be forced to say what Hugo Grotius said
when he came to the end: ALAS! / have
spent my life in laboriously doing moth,
ing To be thorough in study, to be
thorough in all work, ought to be the
aim of every girl, not less than of every
boy. Our methods of female education
have encouraged superficiality rather
than thoroughness; we have given our
girls smatterings of many things, and
mastery of few things. After thorough
ness, independence. A habit OF relying
on your own judgment, habit of think
ing for yourself, not seltishly, but in a
true womanly fashions habit of taking
responsibility and bearing it bravely, is
one of the habits that women as well as
men need to cultivate. Your parents
ought to give you some change to form
this habit; it is great mistake to shield
a oirl from all are and then nv and
by, when the helpers on whom she has
leaned fall by her side, to leave her with
Judgment unframed and powers undis-
ciplined to carry the burdens of life.
q Respect for character, for manhood
and womanhood, more than for money
or rank, or even genius, is another of
the first lessons that every girl ought to
learn. Virtue, truth, fidelity, these are
the shining things that every true wo-
man honors, and she who values above
these coat-of-arms or bank account
degrades herself" hh-

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

"A French inventor has patented an

"A monograph of an improved con-

trains on a railway through st. Gothard
Tunnel by electricity, which is to be pro.

DR.. Gehring, of Landshut, Bavaria,
has invented an enameling liquid, which
is said to render ordinary stones and ce-
ments harder than granite and to facil-
itate the limitations of marbles and other
valuable minerals. When applied to
metals he claims that it will be found
an excellent preservation against rust.

The Wednesday evening prayer-meet-

parishioners, mostly women-folk, who
had been in attendance had scattered
up and down the quiet rural street in
the direction of their homes. The Rev.
Amos Dale, who had that evening to
perform the double function of sexton
and pastor, the sexton having hired out
to a farmer at some distance from the
village for the planting and hoeing sea-
son, fingered behind his flock to put out

very manipulating rain, is caused by
the insect striking the leaf by q series OF
spasmodic taps, both with its head and
with the extremity of its abdomen, which
1t bends inward while so doing. He
came upon a second species of large
brown ant in Sumatra, the noise of which,
as in the case of the other ant, resembled
heavy rain and could be heard a long
distance off. What struck Mr.. Forbes,
The observer, most about this species
was the singular synchronism of the
movements. "These ants were spread
over a space perhaps couple of yards
in diameter on the stem, leaves, and
branches of great tree which had fall

yet the tapping was set up at the same
moment, continued exactly the same
space of time, and stopped at the same
instant. After the lapse of a few sec
ends, all recommended at the same in
slant. The intervalwas always of about
the same duration, though l did not
time it. Each ant did not, however,
beat spontaneously with every other in
the congeries nearest to me. There
were independent tappings, so that
sort of tune was played, each congeries
dotting out its own music, vet the be.
ginnings and endings of these musical
parties were strictly synchronous."

How to Build up q Town.


Don't buy anything at homo, il you
can help it. Get what you must have
somewhere else-in the city, where YOU
can bug cheaper. Your own merchants
want too much profit Dou't have
anything made at home. Your own
mechanics are but bunglers aud high
priced ones at that. III you nee1 a
wagon, a buggy, a carpet, a suit of
furniture, sett of harness, or any
thing, seEd for it-get it anywhere
else thar at home. d. all OF your own
work IS much as possible. Don't give
any work to laboring men, for that
would only bn fooIing away your mon
ey. And ii perchance you must hire
man to dig garden, chop wood or white
wash fences. beat him down to the
lowest possible price-and make him
wait awhile for his pay. DON'T take
your own local paper. You can &c;
the Nao York SocL doleger-a larger
and much better paper foT the same
money. Don't try to get up good
school in your own town-it's no use,
you will fail. Send your children a.
| way from home for their education
Your own schools are poorly conduc-
ted, the teachers don't understand
their business. Discourage everv pub
lie enterprise that others get mp for the
good of the community. Don't sub
scribe anything, don't give for build
ing churches or supporting preachers
Can not the Lord who is almighty,
take care OF his own? If any Of your
neighbors-especially if he be poor,
buys or builds home, find out if you
can where he gets the means, or who is
his backing. If you don't succeed to
gather up the desired information, you
can at least express your amazement.
"HOw the--ne can 20 on So"
By following these rules closely. not
to say anything of others that might
be named, you will succeed admirably

The Scientific A'n 'rican suggests
to farmers the following method of
getting rid of stumps upon their
farms: ain the autumn or early
winter bore a hole one or two inch
es in diameter, according to the girth
of the stuml, and about eighteen
inches deep. Put into it one or
two ounces OF saltpetre, Gil the hole
with water and plug it close. In
the ensuing spring take out the
plug and pour in about a gill Of
kerosene oil and ignite it. The
stump will shoulder away, without
blazing, to the very extremity OF
the roots, leaving nothing but the
ashes"
