IN issuing our prospectus for 1882, we deem 1t
4 only necessary to announce that the leading
features which have characterized the editorial
conduct of the YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER for the

what It has been in the past will be an assurance
of what it shall be in the future. The leading
departments of the paper will be retained as here
tofore, and they will be conducted with the same
labor and care that have marked our efforts in the
past. While the Literary and Miscellaneous fea-
lures of the ENQUIRER will be kept up to the
standard which has given the paper distinctive
character, careful attention will also be given to
the News department., which will embrace re-
cord Of the leading events at the State and Ma
tional Capitals; Congressional and Legislative
Proceedings: "Scraps and Facts" being hotch-
potch Of light current topics; a compend of the
News Abroad and at Home; General Correspon-

The farul aud fisesids,
CARP CULTURE.

There was quite collection of gentlemen
interested in fish culture present to witness
the drawing off Of the water in the carp pond,
Immediately north of Rips Island, west OF
Babcock Lake. The water was set flowing
Saturday evening, and by Monday morning
the larger portion had been run on in the
natural way, when steam engine and pump
of large capacity was set to work, and the
water, which could not be reduced by the
natural flow, was soon pumped out at the rate
of 400 gallons per minute. The increase OF
fish in these lakes has been immense the past
season. 1t will be impossible to arrive at the
number of young fish in this pond for several
days Professor Baird, who was present most
of the time, thinks the proportion will be
quite equal to that of the Babcock Lake i'm
mediately east of it, which was run off a few
weeks since. This latter lake produced fully
100, 600 young carp from the fifty couple
placed in there last year after it was cleared
out. In the pond first named there were
forty couple Of the stwo-year-old carp put in
for breeders, and these were nearly all recover
ed and placed in the sinks on the islands pre-
pared for the purpose OF. keeping them during
the work of asserting. These breeders not
only showed their capacity for multiplying,
but have increased in. size and condition i'm:
mensely, some .of them weighing from ten
to twelve pounds, although they are but three
years old. These are the leather carp and
have but few scales on them. These scales
are growing less in number as they grow older,
and is one of the desirable results of proper
care and treatment. The scale carp are not SC
desirable as food fish and do not thrive so we'll
Professor Baird is sending these young fish
off daily by train to all parts of the country,
and general interest is being taken i'll the
culture of carp, especially in the Southern
States, where the temperature of water is
higher and more uniform. Thus far the sue
cess in rearing them has been more marked in
the Southern waters, where they grow faster;
DR.. Carey, State Fish Commissioner of Geor
gia, was present, and saw the operation OF
drawing off this lake, and thinks the increase
every way satisfactory. lie takes much in
terest in the subject and tells some remarka
BILE instances of success in the ponds Of his
State. The exhibit of carp at the recent fail
at Atlanta was one of the wonderful features
of that occasion. DR.. Hassel superintendent
in charge of these lakes, und Professor Baird
is making some excellent improvements OF
and about the island, and the number of fisf
will be increased largely from year to year
1t will not be long before this most delicious
fish will be found in all the markets of tht
country. = WGshinqtOn Star.

HEALTH HINTs.-FlaXseed tea, which is
good for cough and sore throat, is made as
follows Put two tablespoonfuls whole flax
seed in pint of boiling water, and boil fifteen
minutes. Cut up one lemon and put in a
pitcher, with two tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Strain the tea boiling hot through wire
strainer into the pitcher and stir together.
Medical men claim that a pound and quarter
of oatmeal will supply as much nitrogen and
almost as mu. Il fat to the body as one pound
of uncooked meat of ordinary quality. A man
gets three times as much nourishment at the
same cost in oatmeal as he does in meat. One
pound and half of Indian meal is equal to
one pound of uncooked meat in nitrogen, and
surpasses it in fat. One who has tried it COM
municates the following about curing sore
thrOats Let each one of your readers buy at
any drug store one ounce of camphorated oil,
and five cents worth of chlOrate of potash.
When any soreness appears in the throat, put
the potash in & half tumblerful of water, and
with it gargle the throat thoroughly; then rub
the neck thoroughly with the camphorated oil
at night before going to bed, and also pin
around the throat strip Of woolen flannel.
This is asimple, cheap and sure remedy.

POTATOES AN EXPENSIVE FOOD.-Pota
toes are always an expensive food.} That il
to say comparatively. A bushel of potatoes
go tbs) contain neary 80 TBS. of water and
only about 10 TBS of solid nutriment, which is
mainly starch. At present wholesale prices
this is nearly 10 cents pound for the food
they yield. Fair wheat flour, at So barrel
is only cents pound. Corn at so cts. a
bushel (56tbs.) has nearly 5Ofbs. of nutriment
costing less tb IN cents per pound. Taking
the country al ogether, and the prices of po'
tatoes, corn, wheat, &c, high and low, from
year to year, the average nutritious food OBJ
tanned in the form of potatoes, costs four to
five times as much as it does in the consump'
tion Of corn or beans, and two and a half to
four times as much as in the form of wheat
-four, or oatmeal, beans, rice, &c. .,., =.
To INCREASE THE YIELD OF MILK.-A
farmer writes to an exchange: If you desire to
get large yield of rich milk give your COW
every day water slightly warm and slightly
salted in which bran has been stirred at the
rate of one quart to two gallons of water.
You will find if you have not tried this daily
practice, that your cow will give twenty-five
per cent. more milk Immediately under the
effects of it, and she will become so attached
to the diet as 10 refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this mess she will
drink almost my time, and ask for more.
The amount OF this drink necessary is an Ordi-
nary water-pail at time-morning, noon, and
night.

TREATMENT Of FROZEN PLANTS
times of severe cold, the more tender plants
in the window will some times be chilled and
frozen. Such plants should not be put neal
the stove to be thawed out but kept where
the temperature is trihe above the freezing
point, that the thawing may be gradual, and
in the dark that deleterious chemical changes
may not take place. If severely touched will
the frost, it is best to remove the frozen parts
that new stems may be forced out from the
buds below. Water freely, and finally bring
them to the ordinary temperature for house
plants -sixty-fve to seventy degrees.

NIGHT LIGIIrs.-The common practice OF
having night lights in the bed rooms of chill
dren of well-to-do parents is deprecated by
Dr. Robert II. Bakewell. He says that it has
most injurious effect upon the nervous Sys-
tenn of young children. ''1nstead of the per.
feet rest the optic nerves ought to have, and
which nature provides for by the darkness of
the night, these nerves are perpetually Stimu-
lated, and of course, the brain and the rest OF
the nervous system suffer. Children thus
brought up are excessively timid for years af-
ter on going into the dark"

CAPTAIN FRANK LAMONT, assist
ant postmaster of the Memphis post
Office, has for the second time rendered
his resignation. This time it will be
accepted. Last fall he offered his
resignation, but Mrs. Thompson re-
fused to accept it on the ground that
she approved his official course, and
was not willing that he should retire
in the face of the opposition which
had been raised against him on the
outside. Under these circumstances
he remained. But quite recently he
has received tempting offer to accept
another position elsewhere, and he hat
therefore resigned Internationally
Captain Lamont has been in the Office
twelve years, and we believe has giver
the utmost satisfaction. He has many
friends in social and business circles
who will regret his departure from
our midst. He had entire charge Of
the Office during the terrible times o.
1878 and 1879 and acquitted himself
with honor and courage. Wherever
he goes we hope he will find as true
friends and as pleasant associations as
in Memphis.

MUCH has been said in a spirit Of
conjecture as to the amount Of money
in the State treasury. The sum has
been estimated all the way from one
to two millions of dollars. These
guesses of the newspapers we thought
must be exaggerated, and we have
taken the pains to make some inquiry.
We are informed upon good au-
thority that the Treasurer has on
hand about 100000, more or
less by a few thousand
dollars. The books of the treasury
are kept in a systematic manner, and
are at any time subject to the inspec-
tion of the proper committees ap-
pointed by the Senate or House, or
both, of the General Assembly. The
last Legislature increased expenses
considerably in necessary institutions
such as the Blind Asylum, Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, etc. The burning
of the penitentiary caused q con-
siderable additional outlay. The
increase in taxable property was not
great. When the Legislature meets
again, full and detailed statement Of
the receipts and disbursements of the
treasury will no doubt be made, and
it would be read with keen interest
all over the State.

CROCKETT COUNTY.
A Substantial Contenfed Set of
People.

ALAMO, TENN, February 20, 1882.
The beautiful town of Alamo is the
county site OF Crockett county, West
Tennessee. 1t is situated about the
middle, between the north and south
forks Of the Forked Deer river, about
l8 miles norteast from Brownsville, 25
miles northwest from Jackson, 6 miles
north of Bells Depot, on l.. & N R. r.,
8 miles from the celebrated Gibson
Mineral wells, 16 miles from Trenton.
Population about 400, nearly all white.
We have two dry goods, three grocery
and twelve drug stores, two saloons, a
splendid picture gallery, steam mill
and cotton gin, one livery stable, five
lawyers, four doctors. four churches,
blacksmith and all sorts ofrepair shops,
number one hotel, and one among
the best county newspapers in the
State. We have a fine public school,
two Sunday.schools and fourishing
Masonic Lodge. Our people are re-
ligious, peacable, hospitable and in ad-
dition, l am proud to say, we have
some of the best looking youny ladies
and widows, best looking young wild
overs and young and old bachelors
that can be shown anywhere. If you
don't believe it call around with your
best, if We are beat, of course-we wilt.
The country ronnd about is
generally loved. Thickly settled most
while small farmers owning their land
and outfit, owe but little, and that is
to their neighbors, who are amply able
and willing to wait until the debtor
can make a crop. We have quite a
number Of large land owners in the
| county, although they have no land on
the market yet. They are clever,
high toned, honorable, progressive,
onwardmarch men, and | suppose if
any man of good character wishes, he
could be accommodated with desirable
land at reasonable prices, although |
do not know Of any land for sale. 1t
does not remain on the market but a
short time when offered. The wheat
crop looks we'll. and the acreage is
much larger than usual. The farmers
raise mixed .crops-cotton, corn, peas,
grasses, clover and roots of various
kinds. The result is, while we had
short crops last season caused by the
drought, nearly everybody has enough
to answer his purposes, and those who
need a little can get il
from his neighbor at reasonable
price. Every district in the county il
we'll supplied with churches anC
schools, which have fine regular at,
tendance. There are a number o.
candidates for all the Offices, all run

Any one who does not belong to q
church is an exception.
There is a surplus of work stock
with us. Good mules, IA to 15l hands,
in good condition, are worth $75, $85,
$l25, and less if poor ones. Good
farm horses, 8 to II years old, $50 to
800. Better grades of each are very
