FISH

From the proceedings of the
Montgomery Fish Preservative So
ciety of last Monday, reported in
another column, Jul readers will
perceive that the Society is com
pletely organized, with a well de-
vised constitution and bye-laws,
and that il proposes commencing
active proceedings as soon as the
new fish law goes into operation,
which will be on the 18th inst.
An important feature in the or
ganizatinn is, that a vIce-president
is appointed in every civil district
of the county; this will furnish, it
is hoped, a nucleus for the estab-
Iishment of district associations in
utilization with the county organi-
cation.
We hear of much favor evinced
toward the enterprise, and, it is not
to he disguised, some opposition.
The latter, we believe, will be
slight. Many who have hitherto
kept up fish-traps and other devices
injurious to the stock of the river
have already declared their readi-
ness to abandon them, provided
that the abandonment is general.
Men say, with some reason, that if
every body is allowed to have a
tish-trap no gain can accrue from
one man abstaining. There may
be a very few temporarily injured
men who have been in the habit
of making something by supplying
fish, caught at the mouth of Red
river, to the GAINESVILLE market.
Even these will be ultimately bene-
fitted, for once let our streams be
re-stocked with game fish (Which
will soon be done if the law is
carried OUT and they will be able
to take more and better fish with
their trot-lines than they can now
with their seins; and meanwhile,
the Society has expressed its will
lingness to do what it can to help
those temporarily injured by the
law. 1t is not reasonable for them
to expect that the fish supply of the
whole community should be sacri-
feed for the small, temporary profit
of Il few individuals.
If our readers could consult the
reports of the fish commissioners
in the states of New York and
Michigan and realize the immense
increase in the fish supply in those
states, effected by a judicious fish
law well carried out, there could
hardly be a division of opinion on
the subject, and no state in the
Union is better capable of deriving
similar benefits than Tennessee.
Her streams are unsurpassed in
their ability for sustaining a rich
and abundant fish supply, all they
require is that protection, without
which, no natural advantages
be made available for the purpose.

a NEW GYMNASIUM.

Some years ago the young men of
ourcity had first-class gymnasium,
and it was not only a source of much
physical health and strength, but
also furnished a very pleasant re-
sort for amusement and manly &C.
reatiOn after the business hours of
the day. 1t was a regret to many
that such a beneficial institution
should be allowed to die out. We
are pleased to learn that a move
ment is on foot to re-establiSh a
good gymnasium in u city, and
we bespeak for it the hearty encour-
agement and support of not only
the young men (Of whom there are,
at least a hundred who ought to
join it, but also of III citizens. Mr..
ThOs. H. Lyman, who is an accom-
plished gymnast and athlete, aSSis-
ted by several younger gentlemen
Of the city who are lovers of the
manly sports, has kindly interested
himself in this matter, and if he
meets with proper encouragement
proposes to open a gymnasium
room, supply it with necessary APP
paratus, and take classes TO teach in
gymnastics. This is a very com
mendable undertaking on the part
of Mr.. Lyman and we hope the
young men around town who are
interested in such matters and de-
sire to promote such an enterprise,
will speak to him about it, take
part in his classes and set the move
ment Immediately on foot. Only Il
very small fee will be charged to en-
ter the classes, and even of this, if
there Is any surplus after procuring
the necessary apparatus, he prOpos-
es to donate to some charitable pur-
pose. 1t will thus be seen he very
generously offers his services free of
charge AMI we do hope he will meet
with a warm assistance from those,
whose health and pleasure he 81 un-
selfishly desires to promote. He
can procure a room at very little or
no expense, and no young nan need
stand back for fear of the expense,

A MERE QUIRRLE.

-
The position of the Nashville
Herald on the recent settlement of
the state debt, is very much like
that of the fellow who having said
his horse was sixteen feet high, pro-
posed to stand by it, just because he
had said 10 '0ds sixteen feet high, no
matter what proof was shown To the
contrary. 1t does not doubt the val
idity of the debt, or the liability of
the state to pay it, but simply be-
cause it saw fit, ina moment of anger
perhaps, to charge that corrupt
means were used to secure its pas
sage, it now hasn't the courage to
acknowledge the gross injustice of
such Il charge without a single scin-
tilla of proof to sustain it, but thus
himsiIy tries to justify its position.
1t says:
We do not wish TO be misunder-
stood or misrepresented on the
question now agitating the public
mind in respect to the state debt.
We recognize the fact that we owe
it and ought to pay it. We believe,
moreover, that the state is able and
willing to pay it. If, on account of
the circumstances attending its ere
alton or occurring subsequently, the
creditors are willing to make an
abatement, the state may accept it
or not, as it chooses: For the hon
or and pride of the state we would
prefer to see it paid in full. The OBJ
lection we make to the bill passed
by the Legislature proposing to COM
promise the debt is that it reflects
on the integrity of the people and
contains features which we regard
as wrong in principle and likely to
work hardships, and we believe it
vas passed by improper means. We
are further firmly convinced that il
infringes the constitution. We seek
to avoid this bill in a legitimate way
without in any way questioning the
debt or raising a single objection to
its honorable payment. If this be
reputation make the most of it.

1t is curious to read how widely
the London papers differ in their
criticisms on John McCullough's
acting. The Post thinks abe is not
SO much of an actor rs an elOcution-
list. His performance lacks spontd-
neuity and freshness. He has no
CLEAN of fancy, no glow of poetic
imagination. With the exception
of two outbursts of genuine emotion
there was nothing in his perform
ance to raise it above the dull level
of mediocrity." The Standard says
that his shortcomings as an artist
are the absence of passion and the
inaudibility of the lower tones of
his voice." The Daily News de-
clares "that he has an excellent
voice, enabling him to give distinct
effect to all his utterances." The
Telegraph says "Mr. Mccullough
was received with much enthusi-
asm. He came, was seen, he con-
quered. 1t Is not too much to say
that a finer representation of the
character of "Nirginius" we have
never had" The critiques balance
in his favor and he is assured of a
very successful four weeks engag-
ment.

THE Brooklyn Eagle says: "Near-
ly 1900 immigrants arrived in New
York last Saturday, 1920 of whom
were Germans. 1t is misery which
brings them out of their homes to
this country. Never was there a
time when greater misery existed
in the Old World than at present.
High taxation, sluggish trade,
enormous ornaments and other
monarchicaI evils combine to rem
der large masses of the working
classes Of the Continent of Europe
almost desperate. By its selfish
policy of protection the German
Government has made life well
nigh intolerable to vast numbers of
its own population, by imposing
heavy customs duties on many ar
ticles of consumption of the first
Importance. The first anxiety of
every Government in the present
day should be to enrich not a class
but the whole mass of the people.
Protection paraiyzes home as well
foreign industry by making COM
modities dear which should be
cheap. If this policy were revers-
ed we should hear a good deal less
complaint from abroad with re-
gard to the deplorable state or pow
erty into which the working classes
are sinking"

AN exchange says: "Mashers and
street-corner loafers, and church.
step lOungers and gazers, are de-
clared tramps by the ordinances of
Chicago, and n suppressed by fine
and Imprisonment. The order to
the police of that city is to compel
every body to keep morning." This
may be a very good law for the
average Chicago intellectual tramp,
but we seriously doubt if the ordi-
nary species of that class of the
genus homo could exactly digest its
seeming inconsistencies aud para
dOXes. 1t seems pretty hard for a
city to pass a law to compel every
body to keep moving and then fine
and imprison a man for becoming
a tramp.

'.The Grandest Effort of His life"

His admiring felloW-citizens of
the county never having had the
honor Of hearing the Hon. Martin
V. Ingram in any of his "star lee
tures," we have determined he
shall no longer go "unhonored and
unsung," and, although at great ex-
pense, we have secured the services
of a competent artist, who has n
graved (frOm a photograph taken at
the time) a faithful likeness of the
distinguished lecturer, as he stood
before a listening and applauding
audience at the meeting of the Ten
nessee Stock Breeders Association,
and delivered his eloquent lecture
on "Dairying in Middle Tennes-
see." This likeness is a little fiat
tering to the learned lecturer, but
our artist, like most men of his
profession when they portray the
great, is very prone to iatter. From
the position of his hand, it will be
perceived that he is making a great
point, and it is supposed that the
original picture was struck off just
as he was imparting to his intelli-
gent listeners how profitable dairy
ing in Middle Tennessee is, when
twenty-eight cows can be made
to produce ten gallons of milk a
day,

circuit Court.

Judge 10 G. Stark has been hold
ing Circuit court this week, and has
disposed of a great deal of business.
The very important and interesting
law suit of Mccarthy VS.. Hall, for
$4,000 damages, was taken up last
Wednesday, and has occupied the
attention of the court for the ball
ance of the week. Our readers will
remember the killing of Mr..
Eugene mccarthy by the falling of
an embankment of earth, while he
was engaged in excavating the
foundation of Mr.. A. r.. Hall's new
store about two years ago. His
widow has sued Mr.. Hall for the
above amount. Each side is repre-
sented by able attorneys, and the
contest is a hot and spirited one.
We go to gress before the jury have
returned any verdict.
The court will continue next
week, and those having cases are
notified to be on hand.

The Late MRS. French.
Memphis Appeal.


The recent death of l.. Virginia
French has left a void among the
literary celebrities of our state.
Aside from her value as an author,
her loss is most severely felt in the
social circle and in every lofty en-
terprlse of church or state or chart
ty suited to the sphere of woman.
The world has never parted compa-
ny with a nobler, brighter spirit.
Always ready and obliging, her
cheerful genius hesitated to
respond to any demand when great
thoughts were wanted to give inn
pulse or ornament to a public cause.
And whether that cause concerned
the glory of Christ's Kingdom on
earth, the material progress of the
country that she loved, or the gen
tie charities that sweeten the cha
lice Of poverty or affiicticn, her ge-
MUS wrought it's ready wonders
for all alike with an alacrtty and
success that looked like inspiration.
She has been a prolific writer both
of poetry and prose, but we have
seen nothing from her fertile and
facile pen, even from girlhoOd's
first offerings at the shrine of song,
that did not have upon it the royal
stamp OF genius. Indeed, her tai
ents were OF a lofty type, and many
of her finer u~tterances will be crys-
talized among the ger6a DeDaord-
6itiG of the age in which she lived.
She was Il native of Virginia, but
for many years has lived at the
beautiful home near Meanwhile,
Tennessee, where she died. Her
husband and three children servive
heroine son and two daughters.
The son, Walter Scott French, is
quite a promising young business
man at Chattanooga. Her accom-
plished daughters Jessie and May,
have already given earnest of a rich
hereditament Of genius under the
treacherous pSeudOnyD7, respective
ly, of "Blondine" and Brownie"
AT home, where greatness is always
first accredited and best appreci-
ated, Mrs. French was but little
less than an idol. When the life of
this gifted woman shall be truth
fully written. u poor humanity
will have the best of occasions to
plume itself, no less upon the
achievements of her genius thar
the simple annals of the ingleside
where she made all so bright and
happy about her.

rne consumption of:FIsh.
Unilcd States Economist.

We have in York State 647 in
land lakes, covering an ares of
4GG, 457 acres. Every acre of this
water area is equal in value as a
food-prOducing element to the land,
when properly stocked with the
inhabitants 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 $35,-
$50, 200, IN the round numbers.
This does not include the creeks,
rivers and bays, which would I'M
doubleday double the sum. Through
the efforts of the New York Fish
Commissioners the barren or de-
pleted waters of our state are fast be-
ing restocked with the best varie-
ties of fish, and if they are allowed
o continue their work for a few
years longer, the value of our wa
ter 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 with scarcely a thought
as to how long the supply would
last. The people finally became
alarmed at the rapid diminution OF
fish in our waters, and saw that un-
less something was done to increase
the supply, fish must eventually be
come unknown as an article of diet.
Few people have an idea OF the
immense quantity of fish used to
supply the tables of New York
Civ. The various kinds Of fish
received in the wholesale markets
of New York for ten months from
March l, 1880, to Jan. |. 1881,
amounted to 1908, 624 pounds,
