were brought to this place and placed in the

When M. de Lesseps began to make the

little more than eight millions sterling.
Before it was opened it cost little less than

much below sixty millions. At present
he has raised six millions, not including

which we need advert. At Suez, NJ. de

A earn Puddle.


The wonderful vitality and rapid
growth of the German carp has been
singulsrly shown. About ten days agoa
man driving along . road about eight
miles from Newburg had his attention
attracted by thk Topping of some kind Of
fish in a mud puddle, not more than
three feet in circumference. Getting
out of his wagon he picked up what was
to him strange fish, and, throwing 1t in
the bottom of his vehicle, proceeded on
his way to Newburg. For several days
the fish, having been put into water, ap-
parently none the worse for its jolting,
was examined by the curious in New
burg and no one knew what kind of q
fish it was. At last it was determined
that the nondescript should be sent to
Mr.. E. G. Blackford, the New York State
Fish Commissioner, for Identification.
1t was put in small bait-kettle and sent
to him. Mr.. Blackford receiving it de-
clared it on sight to be fine specimen of
the leather-backed carp. On examining
his books, he found that last November
Mr.. Lewis Beach, member Of Congress,
had received from Prof. Baird num-
Der of small carp, which had been dis
tributed to persons owning ponds in the
neighborhoOd of the place where this one
was found. The fish must certainly
have been carried out of some preserve
by the late food, and found resting
place in the puddle by the roadside
at the substance of the waters. Mr..
Blackford at once placed the carp, which
weighed three pounds, in one of his
acquaria in Fulton market, where it is
now disporting itself in the happiest way.
From weight of certainly not more
than two ounces in last November, in
ten months this carp has grown two
pounds and fourteen ounces.--M Y.
