German Carp Fish.
From the Toronto Globe

Evidence is accumulating to
prove that in the German carp We
have food fish, capable of furn-
ishing special supplies at very lit.
tie cost. This fish is Of unlimited
value to farmers, for il will live in
ponds which become so warm that
no other fish can exist in them
1t is unnecessary to enlarge upon
the added comfort it would be to
farmer If he could GO out at any
minute and take from his pond a
five or six pound carp. which
would give him and the family "a
good dinner. Any ordinary pond
will do for carp. An excavation
in the course of a creek, damned
at the tower end with grating,
so made that flood will not carry
the fish away, answers perfectly.
The carp will eat almost anything;
a pond of four square rods in ex-
tent will furnish all the fish food q
family wants. Carp grow from
the egg to three pounds in weight
in one year. They multiply rap
idly, single female yielding half
million eggs in a year. They
spawn in May and June. In the
winter they turrow In the mud,
and remain dormant,neither max
ing nor losing growth. In the
spawning season they must be fed
or they will destroy the spawn.
At other times they need not be
fed unless there are SO many Of
them in the pond that the aquatic
vegetation and the supplies bro't
down by the feeding creek are in
sufficient. There is scarcely a
doubt that a carp pond would be
a profitable adjunct to nearly every
farm.

A Valuable Historical Relic
From the Alexander Gazette.

A clock, brought from Paris by
Mr.. Jefferson, and which stood from
that time to the day of his death on
a bracket at the head of his bed, was
purchased at the sale of his effects
by his grandson, Francis Eppes.
Some years after it came into the
possession Of Mr.. Je1ferson's daugh-
ter, who bequeather it to gson-in-
law, who used it many years. 1t was
long time in disuse, and had be-
come furnished and corroded. A
few days ago it was put into the
hands OF an Alexander artizan, Mr..
Il. 5. Fleming, who, by his superior
skill and faithful workmanship, has
restored it to its original beauty and
usefulness, and it bids fair to last
another hundred years.

thick has been found at a depth Of
TIA feet, with a slate roof overlaid
with eleven feet of stone, which is
believed to be one of the best in
the State. The boring was begun
on June 1. The finding of this
vein is important, as no other
mine is in operation within forty
miles. The expense incurred is
$50 900, which was raised by sub
scription Of citizens, who feel hap

a canyon of unparalleled sublimity

and grandeur. The track rises by a
heavey grade along a shelf on the
mountain side which at times was
some 2l7 feet to the mile, with a
precipitous mountain of 1900 feet
or more on the left hand, while on
the right, down in a deep gorge
some 500 feet below, the Animus
river plunges over its rocky bottom
on its way to the Arkansas. At
several points the bed of the river
passes through walled channel so
narrow that apparently it could be
crossed by single step from one
side to the other. On the east bank
of the Animus towers the lofty
peaks of Needle mountain, which
seems to pierce the very sky. No
where in Colorado is the mountain
scenery more sublime than at this
point, extending over distance of
several miles. Speaking of railroads:
1t was but few years ago that the
Union and Central Pacific railroads
were struggling to reach the Pacific
coast through the defiles of the
Rocky Mountains under the fostering
aid of the Government, while now
the iron horse is running in every
direction over the State, by tracks
laid with consummate engineering
skill, along the mountain sides, up
activities, over deep canyons and
precipitous gorges, and through
dark tunnels, until high mountains
are overcome and pleasant valleys
are reached in the interest of a more
full and perfect development of the
resources of Colorado. There are
now two and will soon be three
routes by rail to Leadville, and two
parallel lines running north and
south through from Denver, the line
between Denver and Pueblo carry
ing passengers this year for $1.when
SO was formerly charged. SO much
for competition.
This marvel of enterprise, the
Denver q Rio Grande Railroad,
spreads itself like an octopus over
Colorado in all directions, eastward,
westward, northward and south
ward, through the more mountain
Gus regions Of the State with an
earnest that no mountains are too
high-no canyons to deep-no gorges
too blcad and wild to be overcome
and surm0unted its locomotive pow
er. My journey over the celebrated
La Veta pass was in the night while
| was enjoying sound sleep in one
of the daisy little narrow guage
sleeprs run on this road. These
sleepers are pretty we'll described by
the remark of a traveller who entered
the car at Pueblo in search of his
coveted berth. The porter politely
asked him, as he looked around in
bewilderment, what he desired.
"Well," he replied, Il want to buy
this sleeper to take home to my
children for a toy" After some
parley with the porter he found his
berth, and on discovering his mar
row quarters, he inquired for the
lashings that were to Keep him from
spilling out under the motion Of the
car. 1t will be recollected that these
were counted rs double berths, at
IS 80 each, and the fact that two
persons do sometimes lodge in what
would appear to be pretty scant
quarters for one, is another illustra-
ton of the wonderful capacity of
human kind for adaptation To cir
