The German carp seems to do rs we'll in
children do. Mr.. Abel Wright, who began
with two or three dozens of the carp three
years ago, thinks that he now has at least a
million in his pond at Grifen, Ga. He has
sold more than 5000 at $50 hundred, and
cannot keep up with his orders He bears
out Mr.. Seth Green's statement that one can
almost see the carp grow, so RAPIDLY does it
increase in size. Mr.. Green asserts that an
| acre of water can be made as profitable as an
| acre of land, and it does not cost much to
make the experiment.

Some queer matters get into the courts.
Thus, the Supreme Court of the State OF
Pennsylvania has just been called on to de-
eide what constitutes "a respectable number
of persons to found church" The will of
Charles Macalister provided that if, within
five years after his death, "a respectable
number OF persons" could be found to form
the nucleus of a Presbyterian church at
Torresdale, in the outskirts of Philadelphia,
his executors should build the church and
provide in part for the pastors salary.
Eighteen persons started church organiza-
ton and claimed the fulfllment of the be-
quest, having been duly recognized by the
Presbytery. The executors resisted the
claim but the lower court affirmed it, and
the Supreme Court has decided that, in the
absence of proof to the contrary, the Pres
bytery must be considered competent judge
of the qualifications of its branches, and the
court below must be held to have ruled
properly.
Professor Raphael Pumpelly has been in
terviewed concerning the possibility of ice
conveying disease. He says: II think
there is no doubt that ice can convey any
disease that the water from which it is frozen
can convey in so far as such a disease arises
from the germs of low vegetable organisms.
The question was put to me last year by the
Sanitary association of Newport as to wheth-
err ice in freezing freed itself from these or
ganisms. We know already that compare
lively slight variations of temperature, much
less than those between freezing and
boiling, will destroy adult bacteria in
water, but their germs Withstand both Sc
we're freezing and in some cases actual boil.
ing. To determine this point We tested
samples of ice taken from the centres OF
blocks, and found in every instance that they
infected sterilized beef infusions with the
germs of putrefsction which are present in
all water and atmospheres in forty-eight
hours. Of course every precaution was used
in these, as in all our experiments for the
National Board of Health, to prevent the
infection of the samples by germs floating in
the atmosphere. 1 am inclined to think that
there is on the whole more danger of ice car
rying contamination than the water from
which il is frozeu.n

The cause of ''woman's rights" has had q
great triumph in Switzerland, where the law
making both sexes of full legal age at twenty
one came into force with the new year. In
many cantons the age of majority for men
has hitherto been as high as twenty six and,
as women were altogether denied majority,
no matter how old they were the number of
wards was very great The duty of guard
ianship in most cases devolved on the COM
munes, which have now BEEN relieved of
much thankless labor; and for the future
Swiss women, at home and alb road, whether
unmarried, married or widows, will be civilly
emancipated on their twenty-frst birthdays.
In the town of Saint Gall alone fortunes to
the amount of upward of ten millions of
francs were transferred to women. formerly in
wardship, under the new law, on New Years
day.
How to best protect railroads Fl. om snow
blockades is an important question, for it

termining the best means of protecting that
road from such blockades, and has made a

Reagan -SuhsidieS-Chinese, 6c.
Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, March lathe Committee
on the improvement OF the Mississippi have
recommended $55OOOO additional funds to
lie expended in improving the navigation
from St. Paul to New Orleans.
1t has been many years since there have
been before Congress greater number OF
very important subjects than at the present
time. Out OF a halt dozen of huge PROPOSE
tionS but one has been disposed of-the
Mormon. Before the House. Commerce
Committee there is the Reagan bill, the
River and Harbor BILL the Interstate
Commerce bill, the Mississippi plan lley-
eesl, the Inter-Oceanic Canal and the sub
sidy question-all matters which will not
only occupy great deal of discussion and
time before that committee, but which will
attract grdat attention when they come be-
fore the House for final passage. The
four weeks wrangle over the Reagan
bill, which is now on, j. sample OF the
furry these propositions bring about. The
measures mentioned in themselves are
enough to occupy the rest OF the session
ii they are to be discussed at the length
the importance OF the measures seem to
demand Then there is the Mormon issue
now on; the investigation into the relation,
of the United States with South America;
the reduction OF the tax on whisky, wines,
tobaccos, etc and probably a dozen more
important issues, which are not enumerated
in the FIVE thousand bills which have been
presented during the session.
The House debate on the Chinese bill
will probably last several days longer, and
although more opposition has been deyel-
oped than was expected, it will pass by a
fair majority. An amendment limiting the
prohibitory immigration clause to Coolies
will be offered tomorrow. 1t is reported
the Chinese Minister does not object to the
ten years suspension of immigration, but
thinks it too long. The rumOr that the bill
will be vetoed is not credited by those best
posted Ian.

has been an exciting one at our court house
on account OF the prosecution of the drug
gists. Indictments, in some instances
three in number, have been returned by
the Grand Jury against seven of the drug
gists. The emanner Of procedure has caused
a great deal of excitement as many pf the
witnesses have temperance views, and why
such men are called rs witnesses is not un-
derstood. Another strange thing is the
presence of the District Att orney, who
questions the witnesses. After q week
spent in this manner the cases have been
postponed until next term. in June. At
one time three traverse juries and one
Grand Jury were present in the court
room.
