German Carp In America.

WASHINGTON, January ga lot
of young carp we're shipped for the
west last night. This consignment Is
intended to supply those ststes which
are somewhat inaccessible. They will
be distributed among the following
states: Texas, New Nj xico, Arizona,
California, Nevada, Washington, Ore.
gon, Idaho and Wyoming, 1t goes q
large part of the way over the Penn.
sylvania railroad, which has establish.
ed special rates for the purpose. 1t
is attached to one of the fast through
trains. The car Is specially fitted up
for the purpose of carrying young fish
of all kinds. 1t is provided
with refrigerating apparatus
of the most approved construction.
The greater part of the weight is
placed in the bottom of the car so as
to avoid top-heaviness. Five mes.
sengers accompany the shipment, as
the journey is very fatiguing, and
1t is necessary that two be ON hand
night and day to watch the fish and
erite the water. The present ship
ment is somewhat of an experiment,
as there are certain new features In
this car that have never been tried.
If these fish get through in safety the
German carp will be colonized In every
state and territory in the union. The
most favorable reports are received
from every direction Of the gsowth of
these fab. The experience shows that
the further south they are placed the
faster they grow.

Six years ago the territorial legisla.

The Surplus iii the Treasury.
Savannah News
There are now more than 1852, 900,
600 in the Treasury and the revenues
exceed 81, 100000 day. The Sec
retary Of the Treasury does not know
what to do with the money. The
national banks and the bondholders
are urging him not to call any more
bonds. The loss to the Treasury
caused by the reduction of internal
revenue taxes is hardly noticeable.
1t is doubtful il. tine reduction made
in the custom duties will lesson the
amount of revenue received from that
source. The Forty-eighth Congress
will be confronted with some inter-
estIng questions. The main reason
urged for reducing tariff rates last
Congress was tina; $100,00O,OOO a
year more revenue were being col
lected than was needed. This sum,
it was declared, ought to remain in
the pockets of the people. After a
struggle, lasting many weeks, a bill
reducing internal revenue taxes. and
pretending to reduce the tariff taxes,
was passed. The same argument,
viz: that there are $1OO,G0O,OOO more
money collected annually than is re-
quired, Is as pertinent now as it was
a year ago. Congress must arrange
for disposing of the surplus or reduce
the revenues. Which is the wiser
thing to do? Mr.. Randall says take
the tax off whisky and tobocco. He
Tants the entire revenue system abol.
ished. Mr.. RandalIs views harmon
ize with those of Mr.. Kelley, the
leader of the protectionists. Their
purpose is toprevent any disturbance
of the tariff. Mr.. Carlisle snd those
who agree with him say the tariff
should be reduced. Necessaries, ra
ther than luxuries, should be made
cheaper. Abolish the tax on whisky
and tobacco and luxuries are made
cheaper. Reduce the tariff and nee
essaries are made cheaper. People
who use whisky and tobacco can af
ford to pay for them. Congress can
not very we'll avoid discussing tn,
tariff next winter. The question O
the disposition of the surplus revenu,
> will force the tariff question to th,
front. A way may be discovered &
; dispose of the surplus without dis
: turbing the tariff, but in hunting
that way tariff discussion cannot b
avoided. There are men in the Dem
ocratic party who viii! not permit tn
T adoption of the Randall Kelley plal
without protest.

Written for the Journal.

Written for the Journal
Some years ago, man by tn,
name of Walker, a half witted coun
trymap, desired to preach the gospel
He made known his desire to the
church of which he was a member
and often songht to exercise the gift
of his supposed calling in public,
whenever he could seize upon an op.
portunity. He was frequently and
ludiciously discouraged and put of
by his brethren; but Mr.. Walker as
persistently renewed his request to
be ordained to the ministry. AT
last the church concluded to give
HIM trial; and for this purpose in
vited a presbytery to examine the
candidate for ordination. On the
day appointed the presbytery assem-
bled and brother Walker appeared.
lie was examined upon his evidence
OF conversion and qualifications for
so responsible a calling; and then he
was asked to state the evidences he
had of being divinely called: His
reply was as follows:
II was walking out one beautiful
morning in the woods in the Spring.
The trees were green, the flowers
were sweetly blooming, the birds
were singing and the sky was bright
and beautiful above. Twas thinking
of my duty to preach and all ma
ture seemed to conspire to convince
me Of my duty in sympathy with the
voice that spoke to me within. All
of sudden, my brother, I heard
voice, clear and distinct as it rang
out from the green field before me.
1t said in laundering tones; Wa-a-a-
a ker ! Wa-a a-alker ! Wa-a-a alker
Wa-a-a-lker! Wa-a-lker ! Walker /!
Walker Walker! Go preach go
preach! go preach ! go preach
From this, my brethren, I was salts
fed and conformed to my duty"
Ifthe reader has not caught the
joke, we will aid him by the illustra-
ton of the man who drew mule on
slate, and then wrote under it,
"ThiS as a mule" Our friend Walk
er heard an ass braying on that lone
ly morning and such were his med
itations and his absorption of mind
that he readily appropriated and dis
tinguished the braying OF the ass as
the Divine voice calling him by
name to preach. 1t has often been
said that some men are called, and
others answer but, no doubt, many
a man has been called by an ass to
be preacher; and the evidence of
such a call may be seen in the ASST
nine character of many an ignoramus
who fills the pulpit Brother Wal,
ker, no doubt, misunderstood his
call. Evidently the ass was calling
him to the field, instead of the min
istry; but he is not the first who
has misunderstood his calling.

sinks, gasping and moaning, on the
other side of the brook; while her
pursuer stops abruptly and gazes at
her meditatively, and just a trife
worderingly.
You are not hurt, I hope 2" says
ayoung man, who was standing be-
side her the next moment, sympathy
In his musical voice and handsome
brown eyes,
Il thank you, no." says Lady,
with a suppressed moan. "That as
to say, not so very much,' wonder
ing where he has sprung from.
''But I am sure you are," the
young man insisted. 'sCan | be of
any service?"
"Whe-where is the bull 2" falters
Lady, neglecting to answer his ques-
ton, and looking about her alright
edly.
The gentleman's mouth twiches
under the dark moustache, while his
brown eyes are literally running over
with suppressed laughter.
"There he is" he says, in a curious
choked voice.
Lady glances up timidly, expecting
to see & huge monster, paving the
ground In bafled rage, a la the bulls
in the latest novels, its eyes blood
shot and its jaws covered with foam.
Lady Hamilton stares, and then she
laughs. Really, the situation is too
ridiculous ? What she sees is q
spotted, long-legged, suprised-look-
ing calf!
Pereeiving that the case is not so
bad as it might be, the gentleman
gives away to his risibilities all, for
fully five minutes neither of them is
capable of uttering syllable.
"Oh," gasps Lady, at last. her
eyes filed with tears, caused by
laughter, and hot pain, its too fun
ny for anything! What will Llll
and Lea say when they hear about
it ? No doubt the calf thought 1
was singing for him."
81 heard you, alSo," says the gen
tleman, trying to smother another
laugh. "and L think the calf was
quite justified in making the haste
that it did"
Lady laughs blithely, and trihe CO.
quettishly, / am very much afraid.
81 don't see how I'm to get home,
she says plaintively. "Not that am
so much hurt but | don't feel as if
I could take step, for all that"
"Allow me to assist you,' says the
unknown, with fattering haste.
"You live at the Clarion House, l
think ?"
Yes, says Lady, wondering why
he thinks so.
Il am going that way, as it hap
pens You may have heard of me; l
am Colin Charlton"
"Oh!' This is all Lady Hamilton
says, but it is by no means all she
feels.
81 can't say what Mr.. Colin Charl-
ton thought of Lady Hamilton at
that moment, though 1 know he is
very much in love with her three
months later, and that she has prom
ised to be his wife, much to the de-
hight OF Llll and Lea.
Sing me the ballad you sang
when first I saw you" Colin says.
And Lady sings:
oh, Colin, dear Colin, my Colin my dear,
Who went the wild mountains to trace
without fear,
Oh, where are the focks that swiftly re-
bound,
And fly ore the heath without touching
the ground?
And Colin answers with a tender
smile, referring to Lady's escapade
when the calf chased her:
Here's one from the aocks that so swiftly
rebound,
And fly ore the heath without touching
ground !"

The Lesson of Cotton Planting.

The Lesson of Cotton Planting
Atlanta Constitution.
In the cotton book of Latham
Alexander & Co. for 1883, are some
figures that we commend to the fan.
mers of the South.
The largest amount of money,
these figures show, ever realized
from years cotton crop, was reali
zed in 1856. This amount was
$399,000,000. The number of bales
was 100000. Last year a crop OF
100000 brought only 1927, ,OOO,0 900.
Though in excess of the crop of
'75-6 by 100000 bales, it brought
S72,O0O,OOO less money. In 1901
a crop of 100000 bales brought
S36,OOO,0OO or S9,00O,ooOin excess
OF last year, though there was 3OO,-
600 fewer bales of cotton sold. In
1872 a crop OF less than 1000, 900
bales brought more money than a
crop of virtually 100000 brought
last year.
The meaning of this is plain.
Good prices come with moderate
crops. Big crops tumble the prices
down to the point of general demor
alization and loss. If the south
could confne the crop to $5,5O0,O 600
bales ayear for three years it would
realize more money than if she raised
three annual crops of 1000, 900 bales.
Another view is suggested. The
cotton crop of the past three years
has brought into the South one thou
sand millions of dollars. Ifthe corn.
grain, aud meat to make this crop
had been homemade the south would
be richer to-day than any country in
the world. If she could keep the
cotton money at home for five years
to come, her wealth and progress
would be the miracle of this century.
It's to see the South win this indie
pencnce and supremacy, to achieve
this individual prosperity and this
colossal general wealth that The
CONSTITUTION has urged the southern
farmer SO earnestly and so persistent
ly to shorten the acreage of their
