Fish Culture.

Ihe experiment of the culture
OF fish in Delaware has been sue.
cessfully made by Doctor Z. G. Short,
lidge, Jacob Pusey and David Connell.
Last November they procured 1O4 small
German Carp from Fish Commissioner
Baird at Washington. These carp were
from two to four inches in length and
in the aggregate did not weigh more
than four or five pounds. The Messrs.
Hartman & Ferenbach, brewers, having
large basin of water on their premises
very kindly offered the gentlemen
| named the use of their reservoir for the
purpose oftesting their enterprise. These
gentlemen placed in the pond these 1Oi
carp last November, and now at the
end OF onl y seven months they let the
water out Of the pond to note results
and see what became Of their carp. One
hundred carp were alive and in fine
growing condition, having increased in
length from two to four inches when
put in, to ten to fourteen inches when
taken out, and in weight they had in
creased from four or five pounds in the
aggregate when put in to seventy-tive
pounds in the aggregate when taken
out of the pond, showing surprising
increase of 1900 per cent. in seven
months.
This experiment shows that the cul-
ture of fish can be source of profit in
Delaware. 1t will he seen that only
fur carp were lost Notwithstanding the
severity of the winter and the fact that
the pond was also populated with an
unusual quantity Of ee.s and some
snakes which live on small fish. The
most of these carp, it is expected, will
spawn the present year, and will in
short time produce enough fish to stock
all the ponds and streams in the State.
Encouraged by their success thus far it
is hoped the gentlemen who have been
making these successful experiments
will not cease their efforts until they
shall compel the State to take the mat
ter in h and and lend more assistance to
an enterprise that must result in great
benefit to the State, and which will
make the despisad ponds and streams
of the State more valuable than the
peach farms for which it is noted.
These gentlemen want Matching grounds
for their enterprise and we know Of no
better place for such purpose than the
unoccupied squares on the east side of
the Cool Spring Reservoir. We hope
Fish Commissioner Moore, who has
$500 of the States money at his dis
posal, will spend it in assisting DR..
Shortlidge, and Messrs. Pusey and
Connell in their fish enterprise.

THE JURY THAT investigated the late
Ontario steamboat disaster in which The
excursion steamer Victoria sank, with
about three hundred persons, says that
with the exceptions of being leaky,
having very weak decks, and the boiler
being insecurely fastened, every thing
was right. Such report is an insult
to intelligent people. One of the ex-
ceptions was sufficient to have caused
the dreadful catastrophe that shocked
the whole country. A steamboat is not
in a good condition if there is one de-
fective point about it that would con-
tribute to such an accident as befe the
Victoria. But in her case there were
s iree causes, any one of which was suf-
ticient to condemn her, and yet the jury
has the effrontery to sarcastically in
form the country that the steamer
was in good condition with those three
exceptions, while with one exception it
was in very dangerous condition. 1t
is fearful to think what would have
been the result if the boat had been in
good condition in the eyes of such a
jury.

Republican harmony.

The Republican city executive com
mittee appointed by the Institute Hal
meeting has organized by the selection
of President, Secretary and Treas
urer. This is well enough but unless
there is union and harmony in the par
ty there will be no need for either ON
ers nr mmittee. The committee
howey er has taken a very wise step and
has appointed subcommittee to make
such changes in the rules Of the Re-
publican party as will lead to the cleo
tion of a new committee by ward and
election districts. As the committee
has not been published it is to be pre-
sImed that it has not been selected yet,
but will be during tie present week.
We are sure that with such an able and
careful President as Mr. Hastings at the
head of the executive committee no
advice from us to him will be necessary |
in rega1c to making judicious selections
for the subcommittee to remodel the
rules of the party. We will however |
suggest that a committee of one from
each ward-eleveni in all and two thirds
of them from one extreme wing of the
party will not make the peace that is
desired. A fair distribution of the COM
mittee amongst the different elements
which compose the party will do much
to lead to lasting peace. 1t is high
time the crushing out process was
stopped in the Republican party. All
are needed to secure general victory
over the common enemy at the next {
State election. Not single vote should 1
be alenated. The party last fall came :
within $50 votes of electing Republi- 0
can Congressman and within 250 of a
electinga Republican Legi stature which n
would have consigned Senator Bayard "
10 the shades of private life, and the 4
way to gain those $50 and $50 votes in c'
he State is not by fostering dissensions, III
out by making concessions on all sides e!
hat will result in a cemented union &C
md grand and glorious victory, over IN
not over Republic ms, ca
let every true Republican make some tl
oncessions in the interests of harmony OF
nd union, and then there will be no te
ana nobody will care who the IN
resident is or who compose the City eS
Executive committee or any other com is
littee. We are confident Mr.. Hastings m
ill meet Mr. Baker half way in the m
ltereSts of harmony. ar

AFTER BALANCING accounts it is
found that the Cunard line of steamers,
an English experiment, cleared the last
year over one million dollars for its
bv nrro,rs. This is all well enough and
AMERICANS will not feel jealous of the
success of our rival on the seas, but as
the only line of steamers that is
strictly American has very hard time
getting along, tits high time the Amer
ican people knew what makes this diff
ference. There is no reason why Amer
lea should be compelled to play a secon.
Diary part in the traffic of the ocean
while she leads in other respects. There
seems to be something wrong in the
whole matter and Congress ought to
quit dickering in politics and ascertain
what it is. Our rapidly expanding for
eign commerce and the almost incredible
volume of our exports demand that an
eff rrt be made to place our merchant
marine upon more favorable footing.
A prudent protective tariff has built up
our manufacturing industries to their
present prosperous condition; why can
not the government work out equally
successful results for our ocean COM
merce?

THE CONKLINGITES OBJECT to IL 0
election of Depew for United States
Senator, upon the ground that he was
an attorney for railroad company,
but until their attention was called to
it, they never thought that Conking
himself had been an attorney for the
same company while he was United

of virtue and honesty for the admins

The wheat Crop.

The agricultural department at Wash
ington has issued its bulletin of the an
tcipations of the coming wheat crop
1.-THE late spring in the west this season
when there is always u large acreage Of
spring wheat put in will have a marked
effect upon the wheat crop Of the coun'
try. Throughout Kansas, Nebraska
and other states of the northwest, snow
remained on the ground so long that
when an opportunity for seeding came,
so brief was the time that only eighty
six rer cent. of an average crop was put
out. In winter wheat the average con-
dition is still less being only about sew
enty.six per cent. of what it was in
1880. Even this it seems has been at
tackled by the chinch bug and Hessian
fly, and the mildew has also been dis
tructive. To all except wheat raisers
this will be unwelcome intelligence, as
the price will Immediately rise, and
the farmer though not having so much
to handle will receive more for his

The grain crop of this country is one

the balance of trade has been running

Why is Man, and Where is He ?

Man that is married to woman is of
many days and full of trouble. In the
morning he draws his salary and in the
evening behold it is all gone. 1t is
tale that Is told, it vanisheth and no one
knoweth whittier it goeth. He riseth up
clothed in the chilly garments of the
night and seeketh the somnolent pare
goric wherewith to heal the colicky bow
els of his infant offspring. Heimitateth
the horse or OK and draweth the chariot
of his posterity. He spendeth his shek-
les in the purchase of fine linen and pur-
pie TO cover the bosom of his family, yet
he himself is seen at the gates of the city
with one suspender. He cometh forth
for flower and is cut down. There is
hope of tree when 1t is cut down that
the tender shoots thereof will sprout
again, but man goeth to his home, and
what is he then? Yea, he is altogether
wretched.
