We are pleased tr See that there Is q
growing ip terea. manifested in fish cul-
turs ia Delaware. Her rivers, streams
and ponds are peculiarly adapted to
the raising Of fish and there is no good
reason Why all these streams and ponds
should not be abundantly stocked with
choice fsb. Fish at all times make d
delicious dish and unliFe many ether
articles OF table diet, there are but few
people who do Lot relish fish. Situated
as Delaware Is, tue culture and sale Of
fish could be made Eource Of consider
able revenue, aud this together with
the high favor in which fish is held as
a local article Of diet should induce IA
vorable legislation 70 protect the fsb
interests OF the State. The habit OF
fsh vandals perambulating the State,
aud drsgnetting our fish streams for
fish, large and small, tO be converted
into oil or phospha.ss is revolving and
outrageous and should be prohibited
by the most stringent laws,
OteD foreigners come into the State
aud dr.g net the streams, picking out
the largest fsh for market and throw.
ing ont the smallest ones TO be convert
ed into manure, To prevent this van
daliam and not only to protect but fos-
ter tbs f sh interests OF the State, a Pc
tition to the Legislature Is in circula-
tion, asking for the passage Of law
Furnishing fsh murderers and at the
same time asking for an appropriation
to encourage the culture Of fish TO max e
it a source Of revenue. Connected with
the purpose would be the establish
ment OF Matching grounds, Which are
proposed to be located at the Cool
Spring reservoir, the whole to be IN.
ier the control Of Fish Commission
We hope the petitions will bs favorably
received and numeroualy signed by TIE
citiz4ns Of the State, that our fishing
grounds may become source Of prof
to tue State and to our own people in
stead Of places for the commission o
the most diabolical vandalism.

J. l.. Saxtou, merchant OF Gibson
City, Illinois, came to Chicago to have
bad eye treated, The physicians gave
him an eye wash for outward applica
,ion and also prescription to purify
the blood. By mistake he drank the
eye wash and Is now in his room at the
Brevoort House crazy as loon, comb
ing snakes of the bedateAd, hunting
imign&ry hooks on the wall, and seeing
imps on all sides. When frs. discov-

There probably never was . time il
the history OF Delaware legislation
when railroad interests we're more
prominent than at present, and from
appesyAncss now the time Of the Legis'
latnre for the whole OF next week viii
Be occupied in the consideration of the
apparently harmless little bill to
amend the charter OF the little Della
wars Western railroad twenty miles
long that leads from this city to Ian
dsnbsrg. This apparently harmless
little road Ia looming mp into the
utmoaty yimportauce owing to its lOca-
tfou, and being on the lire Of the great
national thoroughfsre frsm Washing
tom and two thousand miles beyond, to
Philadelphia and New York. The bill
70 amend the charter Of this road was
introduced in the Senate early in the
session by Senator Belts and has re,
eeived two readings in that body. II
u nov pending third reading when ii
will either pass or be defeated. Almost
simultaneous with the introduction ol
this bill in the Senate, Representative
PiIling gave notice Of his intention to
introdace bill in the House to charte'
another line Of railroad running across
the State from the Maryland line near
Newark to the Pennsylvania line near
CIaymont. The introduction OF both
these bills in the Legislature about
the same time envelopsd the real pur
posss in a cloud so dense that none but
those In the secret knew what was in
tended by the two ::proPosed lines.
Even the projectors OF each did not
know what was intended by the other
Duriug the present week, however, the
fox was lifted and sufficiently cleared
away that the purpOsesi OF each we're
recalled and we're found to be similar

Nashville American Feb. 2Oth.l
Hon. r. Z. Thompson has handed
the American the following for publ
cation:
CooKEvILLR, Feb, IS, 1881.-Hon.
x. Z. Thompson-Dear Sir: In ODE
dience to your request and my promise,
1 write you the result of the repeal OF
the charter of Hartsyille and other
towns in my circuit.
The effect as to good order has been
most favorable. 1t is rare thing to
see a drunk person in Hartsville or
any other town where the "four mile
law" is Icing enforced. The order is
greatly better without charter than
with it. There is not an incorporated
town in my circuit, except Rome, and
it may have none by this time. On
the first days ofmy courts large crowds
of people attend, and no drunkenness
whatever is seen; all is as quiet and
orderly as a sabbath day. Indeed the
change for the better has exceeded the
most -sanguine hopes of the friends
of law and order. The amount OF
crime has greatly diminished. 1t does
not take me one-fifth of the time to try
the criminal dockets that it used to do
under the old dispensation..
In most of the towns the streets
have been declared public roads, and
overseers and handsaappointed to work
them. With a more efficient road law,
this would work very we'll
If there is another point you desire
TO know, write me at Sparta and
will respond Respectfully, your
friend. H. w. MCCONNELL.

In reference To the statement that
prohibiting liquor selling in Maine has
not diminished crime, the venerable
Neal Dow has written letter. He
says that thenumber of prison cOnvicts
Is swollen by convicted rumsellers. and
the couvicts of Massachusetts outnum-
Der the Maine convicts four to one.
He strenuously urges that the Maine
law is nota failure. 1t has suppressed
entirely every distillery, brewery and
wine factory in the State, and has ex-
tirpated fully nine-tenths of the liquor
traffic.

THE following from an exchange
hits the nail on the head: "Intelli-
gence means thrift, honesty and ration
al enjoyment. Ignorance means vice,
poverty, crime, wretcliedness. Money
spent in educating the people will
save ten fold the expense in jails, aim
houses, and criminal courts. Il is the
duty of every one to encourage educa-
tion in every possible way"

Thomas Jefferson, the great Ameri-
can statesman, after many years of
public service, uttered these very fore
IDLE words:
"The habit of indulging in ardent
spirits by men in Office has occasioned
more injury to the public than all 9th
or causes; and were / to commence my
administration again, with the expert
ence l now have, the first question !
would ask respecting a candidate would

THE House refused to adjourn on
account of Washington's birthday, too
pushed with business to honor the
memory of that great man, but yet it
could easily lay aside its work for
week to make an excursion to Wash

Such conduct aptly represents the
average legislator of the day.
