German Carp in Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, TENN

NAsHvILLE, TENN.
EDITOR CHICAGO FIELD:-"Day before
yesterday there was taken from the lake, at
the Asylum grounds near Nashville, with
hook and line, carp which weighed ex-
actly two pounds and six ounces, after tho
removal of the scales and hcad-the fish
being dressed for the table. The weight
was taken by DR.. Calender himself, who
vouohes for it's accuracy and for the state
ments given above us to the preliminary
preparations The fish taken from the
pond was q female, and the roo from it
(Which was not weighed) occupied space
in the vessel in which it was placed about
two thirds the lcugth and breadth of a
mans hand. This remarkable growth, in
the short period of one year. encouragingly
illustrates the value Of this prolific food
fish. These carp spawn the first year, and
tho lake from which this ono wss taken lit,
orally swarms with the smaller growth, aud
that tho larger sizes are proportionately
abundant, is manifest We regard this tho
most important fish catch ever made in
Tennessee. Its effect will be to stimulate
the fish production, to advance tho timely
measures being taken for fish protection,
renewed interest in new food supply, and
tho restocking Of lakes and running streams
al! over the State. Nothing succeeds like
success, and the object lesson of this one
fish fact will be more valuable than volumes
of fish theories"
Tho above paragraph taken from the
Nashville American, Of March 18, cstab-
fishes tho fact, that in this latitude, Ger
man oorp will spawn at one year old, and
that thoy will take the hook. 1t seoms
pity, however, 10 view Of tho scarcity of
this valuable fish in our State, and the
source Of supply Che National Hatoheries
at Washington, D. C0 having been de-
stroyed, that female fish, full Of eggs, had
to be caught, killed and eaten, 10 order to
ascertain whether she wss pregnant or not.
These fish were sent by tho u. s. Fish
Commissioner, tho Hon. Spencer y. Baird,
to Col. Geo. +. Akers, State Fish Commis-
sionor, for distribution in. Middle Tonuos.

True Nobility.

What is noble7-to inherit
Wealth, estate end proud degree?
There must b. some other merit
Higher yet than these for me!
Something greater far must enter
Into 'ife's majestic span,
Fitted to create aud center
True nobility in man.
What is noble7-that which places
Truth in it's epfranchised will!
Leaving steps, like angel traces.
That mankind may follow still!
Fen though soorn's malignant glanccs
Prove him poorest Of his olan,
He's the NOBLE who advances
Freedom and the CAUSE OF MAN.

How officers Were Once Paid.

1t is recorded 10 history that from 1777
to 1874 that portion of the country now
known as Tennessee formed part North
Carolina, and that in 1885 the people Of
Tennessee became dissatisfied with their
government, and organized State govern.
mcnt under the name of "Franklin," which
was maintained for some years. The or.
ganization afterwards disbanded and Ter.
ritorial Tennessee was again annexed 10
North Carolina. The following is among
the laws passed by the Legislature Of the
State of franklin:
In Daniel Webster's speech on tho cur.
reucy in 1888 is this extract:
"Be it enacted by the General Assem-.
bly, Of tho State Of Franklin, and it is
hereby enacted by the authority of tho
same: That from the first day Of January,
l779, the salaries of the. officers Of this
commonwealth be as follows, to wit:
ellis Exoellency, the Governor, 1000
deer skins.
ellis Honor, the Chief Justice, 500
deer skins or 500 roccoon skins.
"Mombers of Assembly, per diem, 3
reccoon skins.
"Eaoh County Clerk, three beaver skins.
"Justice's fee for signing warrant, one
muskrat skin.
"To tho Constable for serving warrant,
miok skin.

Why Can't |?
Said a business man, the
other day, Why can't !
work as l used tor once
thought l could do any
amount Of work, and still
feel fresh and strong; but
now when night comes I am
tired out, my head aches, my
back feels as il it was broken,
and l ache all over, and in
the morning 1 feel as il was
all rusty. Fact is. | am fast
getting to be good for no.
tlling.'
Few people know how
many men there are who feel
just this way. They need
something to strengthen the
whole system, and thus re-
lievc by permanently invigor-
= ating the blood and nothing
has been yet discovered that
will so quickly and fully re-
store falling strength. as
BRowN's IRON B11TEKs; and
some Of the hcarticst tcsti-
monia1s come from business
men who have ovcrtaxcd and
ovcrstrained their strength
until life is misery. Mr.Erncst
Sylverton, a wealthy Wall
street broker, writes:
"Thc excessive strain Of
nervous excitement result
ing from stock speculation
and too high living made
quite an invalid of me.
IRowN's IRON BlrrERs re-
stored me to perfect health
and strength"
This is not an isolated case.
Thousands Of business men
arc suffering in the same way.
Some. by indonitable will,
still keep on, hoping that the
time will soon come when
they can rest; but in most
cases, when that time comes
they arc either so worn out
that life is almost a burden
and rest comes too late for
enjoyment, or they are so
broken down that death
claims them as its victim.
Browns IRON B1TTERs is
not a drink. It is composed
Of iron, so prepared that it
will easily assitnilatc with the
blood, and thus be quickly
carried to all parts Of the
body; and this is combined
with other. we'll known i'll
gradients, which make the
most valuable tonic ever pro-
duced.
Very many who have tried
BRowN's IRON B1rTERs testify
to its merit. Mr.B.D.Quimby,
Of Ccnterville, Kent Co, Md,
under date Of Jan. 81 writes:
Misunderstanding broken
down and greatly debilitatcd,
! was induced by our drug.
'Eist to Try bottle Of your
IRON B,TrERs. From the
third dose, began to feel
tie good effects OF your
medicine, and I really think
1t did the more good than
any medicine l ever took."
BRowN's IRON B1TrEns is
not put on the market as an
experiment. Long and costly
investigation was required to
secure perfection, and it has
now been tried for two years
in all parts Of the country
and for many complaints, and
the universal testimony is
that it accomplishes what
has been for so long a time
the desire Of the medical
profession.
Iron is the foundation Of
life and strength; but it has
heretofore been impossible to
so prepare it that It could be
easily taken into the system,
and thoroughly assin,ilatcd
with the blood.
BRowN's IRON BlTrERs is
the only preparation Of iron
that will not blacken the
teeth. 1t is not unpleasant
to take, and its effect will
soon be apparent in renewed
