The Culture of earn.

20 the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
I saw in the Journal a few days ago, an
article from a man in Missouri, stating that
the carp in his fishpond were all dead, and
attributing it to the cold weather of the past
winter. As l have a carp-pond felt some
what concerned about the safety of my carp.
In the fall of 1881 made pond containing
one-half acre, fed by springs. 1t is five feet
deep in the middle and runs to a feather edge
around the Sides In the fall of 1881 I ap-
piled to Mr.. Baird, the United States Fish
Commissioner at Washington, D. c., and re-
ceixed, the lastsof November, sixteen young
carp, four and five inches long These
/ placed in my pond, and they
all lived Ten months afterward
we seined some out and found
them from sixteen to eighteen inches long
and weighing from three to three and half
pounds each.
During the past winter Cicero creek was SO
high as to be above the levees of the pond, and
other fish got into the pond, so | found it
necessary to again drain my pond, to get rid
of the intruders- After draining to the depth
of thirty inches We seined out our carp and
found all the sixteen alive and well, but not
having gained much during the winter. l
exploded dynamite in the pond. which de-
stroyed all the other fish. l then returned
the carp to the pond, which they now have
to themselves and appear to be doing well.
find, from Mr.. Fletchrrs report, that the va
riety 1 have are the mirror carp, as they are
only partly covered with scales.
Their appearance would indicate that their
spawning season will soon commence, and,
if as prolific as some writers say, shall soon
have an abundance. l would like to hear
from Others having carp-ponds.

The Police and the Liquor Law

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
There is an unauthentieated rumor that
the superintendent of our new, patent, non
partisan, warranted-not-to-rip- tear-or-fade
metropolitan police (acting under the in
structions of the board of COMMISSIONER is
preparing and will shortly make public com
prehensive, yet concise and vigorous instruc-
tons to the force enjoining and requiring an
unsparing enforcement of the IL o'clock
and Sunday statutes relative to retail dealers
in ardent spirits-i. e., saloon keepers"
1t is also rumored that this course is in
pursuance of advice and requests emanating
from Democratic headquarters. Is the rumor
true?
Will you please publish the instructions
referred to as soon as you can get the text,
or even the substance thereof? 1t will be a
most successful stroke of newspaper enter
prise if you should give this information
to the public in advance of all rivals. In
point of fact. it will be an overwhelming
SCOOP" please pardon the use of this
very expressive slang coinage.)
The paragraph in the first batch of instruc-
tions enjoining searching espionage and re-
morseless warfare against prostitution and
fornication is quite forcible, but then it is
rather trite and stereotyped. 1t is safe but
is the customary thing with new and Jealous
police administrations, lacks the charm of
novelty, and incurs no risk of offending
sensitive political influences controlling
large numbers of voters. 1t will never do
for our non-partisan police force to fight shy
of influential political classes. ARcADIEN.

aches and pains, the bisrnuth and morphia
and iron and ergot and bromide and blisters
and syrup complex, and other vegetables
that have fallen to my lot, but aside from
the interest 1 purchased in Fezer's drug
store and the hours of suffering when l used
to dig my toenails into the wall and try to
control myself my recollections of Greeley
are of the most pleasant character.

Oasis Hotel and DR.. Law and Others if
could have got reduction on my bills but
l can't go around patting people on the

may deserve it.

Mrs. Jones, of Gold Hill, mother of Sena-

months afflicted with distressing affection
of the stomach, from which she suffered
greatly. short time time ago. while on the
second floor of her home, she started to go
into closet, as she thought. but opened the
door leading to the staircase instead. Not
noting her mistake, she walked off the land
ing and fell violently to the bottom of the
steps, inhicting upon herself some painful
bruises, but sustaining no other injuries.
Before she had scarcely recovered from her
shaking up she began to experience change
of health in another direction that more
than compensated her for temporary lame
ness, for 10 and behold, her stomachic
troubles had left her, and in their place
came healthy appetite with vigorous di-

lease of life. She does not know to what to
attribute this change, unless it be her lucky
accident on the stairsteps. Similar cases are
said to have been known before.

Dear Boomerang-I shall leave Greeley for
the effete East in few days, and / shall do

breath of spring that family stirs the verdure

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Purdue Presidency.
litor Of the IndIanapolis journal:

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
1 wish to confirm what have already seen
in print concerning one name and Purdue
The Greencastle Banner suggested a worthy
man for the presidency of that institution
when it presented the name of Dr. Joseph
T;ngley, of the Central Normal College, in
that connection. Without disparaging any
other name associated with this position, Dr.
Tingley is worthy in every sense. He is an
established scientist, successful teacher; is
man of wide and varied experience, of I'M
questionable integrity, irreproachable char
acter, scholarly ability, and when it would
fall to his lot as vice president of Asnury, he
always managed that institution successfully.
Age and experience are invaluable in the
presidency of an institution like Purdue
University. These are some of the claims
that the friends of DIR. Tngley respectfully
suggest to the honorable board of trustees
when they meet to select a president for Pur-
due. J. w. HARRIS.

James Hay jr. has made some per-
manent improvements in the shape of 8
nice frame house and barn. These not
only add to Mr.. Hays comfort and con-
venience, but also adds much to the
looks of the farm and surroundings.
Mr.. Hay and brother intend to have q
new steam saw mill in operation this
season. The Hay boys are success.
A new bridge has just been complet-
ed across the Prairie Dog near the old
ford on the Taylor farm. This has
been a want long lett by the public who
have heretofore crossed over by rough
and crooked paths. VIM Day, road
overseer, deserves credit for the man

pletion; he believes in moving onward.
The Long Island mill is now running
on full time. Some improvements have
been made in the mill, and it is now
turning out good quality of -four.
Mr.. Mischke, the proprietor, has had
years of experience in the milling bust
ness, and is determined to make only
first class -four; to facilitate this he in
tends to make still further improve

LONG ISLAND.

ED. HERALD Il am, of late, much
pleased with reading the notes and news
items in your columns from different
parts of the county. It is source of
pleasure to read in every issue, the con-
dition of neighbors, crops and country
in other parts, but feeling that our
corner of the county has been
sadly neglected, I beg leave of
space for few items, believing that
we are not the last nor the least of all
things, we ask not to be neglected.
The condition of things about the Is
land this spring is prosperous; the seed
ing of small grain is finished, and we
are now blowing for corn. The large bins
of corn that our farmers have on hand
are the causes of their having strong
and fat horses, and they are entering
upon their springs work with renewed
energy and encouragement. A larger
acreage than common, of all kinds of
grain, will be planted this spring.
Tradelin the stores is lively and our
merchants are doing good business.
Mr.. Cox, our wagon maker. and car
penter, will soon go east for medicacl
treatment and he intends to remain
there. That will leave an opening at
the Island for some one else.
DR.. Lawrence, of Logan, was at the
Long Island House. on last Saturday,

Mrs. Dee French is teaching the
school at the Long Island school house.
She taught the winter term of six
months and is now teaching the winter
term of four months. Ten months of
school in year is pretty good for the
children, and speaks well for her.
Messrs. Clark and Bichord, of the

Long Island, March "a, '83.
ED. HERALD Our town was thrown
into high state of excitement by the
most startling news that those naughty
county commissioners were to issue
bonds to fund the county indebtedness.
The effect of this announcement was
apparent; it brought the little Lambs
to the front and they commenced to
frisk around among the people in a
lively manner, holding up their hands
in holy horror at the thought of the dear
people swallowing the bonds, brs les and
all; why, Mr.. editor, even Prof. Wig
gins boss cyclone, that he threatened
to let down on Us and lift US clear out
of our boots, was nothing compared to
this announcement, for such bleating
of Lambs was never heard before, no,
not even on Long Island.
Yet, not withstanding Prof. Virgins
tlreatenings and the loud bleatings OF
the Lambs, the people of Long Island
still live and move onward.
Most of the farmers have their spring
wheat, oats and barley in, and those
who didn't improve the time and get
their small grain in, cannot attribute ii
to the inclemency Of the weather, but
rather to their spirit of procrastination.
