FISH PONDS.

Seth Green, the well known pisci-
culturist, writes to the Chicago
Times, as follows:
"My opinion has often been ask
ed how carp pond should be con-
structed for family use The pond
can be made in any shape to suit
the locality, but L would prefer egg
shape, if the locality just as
suitable for it. The pond would
breed flies of a great many kinds,
one of the kinds being mosquitoes.
The larva of all flies is the best food
for the young fish. l have bred
them by the bushel, but for some
of the mosquitoes would be apt to
take wing before the pond got well
stocked with young fish, and 20 pro-
tect the family in a measure would
advise building the pond to the lee
ward of the house in the prevailing
winds of the locality. If, for instance,
the prevailing wind was from the
west, the pond would be built to the
east, northeast, or southeast of the
house. / would prefer the pond to
the northeast or southeast, because
if placed directly to the east, the
house would make a lee under which
the mosquitoes could easily reach it.
The mosquitoe can beat any sailing
craft before the wind, but on the
wind they are nowhere in the race,
as thew have no keel. The whole
human family should be thankful to
the Creator for not putting keel
on them, and if their bowsprit had
not been quite SO sharp, they might
not receive 80 many handkerchief
salutes from the verandas of the
| Long Island hotels, but would be
just as useful and ormental.
The pond can be built with pillow
and scraper. 1t should have deep
place in the centre, and be shallow
on the edges. IF you have square
sides, the young fish will have nc
protection from the old ones. When
scrapIng is commenced carry the
dirt as far back as you intend max
ing the lower outside of your EN-
bankment, and keep scraping unit
the pond is four or six feet deep in
the center. Ifthe locality is such
that the ice freezes very thick, tn,
pond should be made deeper anG
holes kept open through the lex
during tth winter to keep the fisl
from sufocating If the embank
ment is raised three feet and pound
ed down and sodded or sown tx
grass, the water could be raised SC
that but three feet in the center
would have to be excavated in or
der to have pond six feet deep
The whole pond should be sowI
with some kind of grass or water
| plant, with the exception of abou
| fifty or seventy-fve feet square il
the center. The grass and water
plants make the spawning grounds
breed food, and protect the young
The pond should not contain an,
other kind of fish, and if the gras
get too thick it can be raked ont" :"

Gen. George B. Mcclellan has
written letter of congratulation to
Controller Pattison, the Governor
elect Of Pennsylvania. Gen. Nc
Clellan expresses qualification that
the government of his native State
has mt length "been rescued from
the control of unworthy men," and
is especially grateful that the Office
of Governor "has fallen to one
whose personal and official antece-
dents give the surest proof that its
duties will be so wisely and honest
ly administered that all good citi-
Eens will acquire perfect confidence
in the capacity and integrity of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania
and in 1884 unite in the effort to re-
tain the Keystone State in thai
Democratic column which she has
at length rejoined."

Of a man who, while shaving, acci-

excitement he dropped the razor and
decapitated one of his toes. Hastily
picking up the dismembered por-
tons of his anatomy he clapped
them to the bleeding wounds and
bound them on tightly. After the
flesh had grown fast and healed up
he removed the bandages, and was
filled with horror when he found a

rhe Chattanooga Democra

The Chattanooga Democrat gives
these interesting condolences: Dur
ing the late unpleasantness, a very
closely contested battle occurred be-
tween the Federal and Confederate
troops at Philadelphia, Tennessee,
in which the Confederates were VIC
torious. A part of the Confederate
troops were commanded by Gen.
George G. Dibrell, and the Federal
troops commanded by Gen. Frank
Woolford, and his lieutenant, Col
G. w. Adams. They were all
brave and gallant officers. In look
ing over the recent list of the mem
bers of Congress elected, we find
that Dibrell is elected from the Third
district of Tennessee; Frank Wool
ford from the Tenth district of Ken
tucky; and G. w. Adams, from the
Eleventh district of Kentucky. Al

Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist
church, in an address at the laying
of the corner stone of a new church
the other day, made the following
point: sour answer to those who
assert that Christianity is dying out
is simply this we build more
churches. The line of argument
cannot hold against the line of ac-
ton. Infidelity builds no churches
founds no asylums, endows no uni.
versities. Uubelief provides nc
refuge for the infrm and poor, MOI

APPARITT0NS SEEN By PRE,SE
DENT TYLER'S SLSTEh,. s.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Ghost
stories, which have suffered an
eclipse for some time, appear to be
undergoing revival. Here is one
that is entitled to credenee, If any
are. It is usually only servants or
ignorant persons who see ghosts,
but in this case the apparitiorI was
seen by two persons simultaneously,
both of them possessed of more than
common vigor of mind. President
Tyler had sister who was reckon
cd one of the most gifted women
of her day. She was the namesake
of Patrick Henry and the pet of
Jefferson. She lived with her faith
sr, Gov. Tyler, at Greenway, in
Charles City county, Va. One
night, while sleeping in the bed
with her cousin, young woman of
her own age, she awoke and saw
her mother, who had been dead for
some months, sitting in the window
seat. It was bright night in sum-
mer, and under the window was the
bed of a younger sister, who was an
infant at the time of her mothers
death. The apparltion leaned over
the child and gazed intently on it.
Miss Tyler remembered to have
heard that an apparition would re-
main as long as the eyes were fixed
on it. She looked steadily at it
without the least alarm. Now
comes the strangest part of the
story. The girl lying by her side
said quietly, "Maria. there is your
mother" Then the form melted
away. Some years afterward, after
Gov. Tyler's death, his daughter
was at Greenway again. She was
then married, and was visiting the
first wife of her brother, President
Tyler He was absent in Washing
ton, being in the Senate. One night
one of Mrs. Tyler's children became
i'll, and her er-in-law went to
the nursery to help take care of it.
She suggested that she should get
remedy from her own room, and,
taking candle in her hand, start
ed for it. On her return, as she
passed the staircase, she saw her
father standing before her The
same idea flashed into her mind
that she could hold the apparition
by her fixed gaze. She observed it
carefully, and recognized certain
suit of brown cloth which she had
sometimes seen the governor wear,
and she was self-possessed enough
to look for a mole on his forehead
which was a birthmark Mrs.
Tyler, after waiting some minutes,
called to her to hasten, whereupon
the figure vanished.

it; in fact, about all the time he has,
