THE CULTURE OF FISH.
Encouraging Statement of It's Progress
by the Fish Commissioners.

encouraging Statement of It's Progress
by the Fish Commissioners.
Prof. Spencer F. Baird, United States
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, says
a Washington special, has just returned
from his summer IabOrs connected with
the artificial propagation Of fish and
scientific investigation of the marine tau
ma OF the North Atlantic coast. He said
TO the.cOrrespOndent of the Times: "The
hatchingOf shad was prosecuted very Sue
cessfully on the Potomac and Susquehaa-
ma this year. The supply of grown shad,
however, was not as abundant as usual IL
those streams. The cold spring drove
them out, but they appeared IL great
numbers IN the Delaware and COnnecti-
cut. It is probable that the larger num-
Der were chad Matched in the Potomac"
Chow are the salmon and lake fish turn
ing Outs''
ssThe salmon in Maine is a success.
The parties a-e now on the lakes and we
expect to take 1O0,00O,00O eggs for propa-
CATION"
ssWhat success has attended the stocking
of the Western riyers:'
ssThat system of waters" said Prof.
Baird. ''is SO large that it would be i'm
possible to gauge the increase. We hear
of shad being caught. They could not be
anything else than the shad placed there
by the Fish Commission. To catch shad
requires special training and special ap-
planes. They might be passing in the
stream and the fact not be known to the
people on the Shore
How are the German carp progress
ing?'
.The introduction of carp has been an
immense success. We are Just beginning
the distribution of this years crop.
Since this work began there have been
from one to one hundred paintings in
every Congressional district, and with few
exceptions in every county in the country.
Carp require care the same as poultry.
They are liable 10 destruction by snakes
and turtles"
TIL propagation Of the salmOnide, shad
and carp is comparatively in its infancy.
The results thus far have been a great
boon to the fishing industry and food fish
supply OF the country. The scientific
work Of the commission at Woods Holl
and the dredging expeditions 10 the Gulf
Stream have revealed many new forms
of the deep sea fauna"
In reply To an inquiry about the theory
of the origin of the human species from a
fish, Professor Baird said: The state
ment is based on the tact that the ascidian
has q dOrsal structure which suggests
series of vertebra. The largest ascidian
we have taken is about an inch in length.
This is not fish, but a mOllusk, and the
lowest form OF shell fish. We are now
making investigations OF the oyster and
have q station where this work will be
vigorously prosecuted, so that artificial

SHORTENING A JAW.
A Difficult Surgical Operation Now Of
Common Occurrence.

Common Occurrence.
A number of years ago, says a Pitts
burg dispatch there lived in Wheeling a
certain DR.. Hullien, who became famous
as a surgeon. Some of his operations were
very brilliant and decidedly awe-inspiring
among the common people. One case in
particular was thought to be unparalleled
at that time. A young lady belonging to
one of the best families II Eastern Ohio
was terribly disfgured by protruding
lower Jaw. Hearing of DR.. Hullien's
skill as a surgeon, she prevailed upon her
father to allow her to 90 to Wheeling and
see if anything could be done to improve
the shape of her face. She went alone,
and nothing was heard of her for two
weeks, except that she arrived there safely.
One evening, as the shades of night
were gathering, really handsome lady
drove up to the gate in front OF the farm
house and asked if she could get lodging
for the night. The well-tO-dO farmer said
they did not keep a hotel; besides, they
were expecting their daughter home az
any time, so they could not keep her. She
said she guessed she would stay anyhow,
and hoped out Of the buggy. The farmer
thought she was an escaped lUnatic, and
was about to shut and lock the door in her
lGCGs " ngn lllC AOuoO OCS NtAt-AC eAAOAi5
and recognized the lady as his young mis-
tress.
1t was impossible to satisfy her parents
and sister of her identity, so remarkable
was the change in her appearance. In her
pocket she had two sections of jawbone,
each containing three teeth, which eX-
planned how the change had been made.
The operation is quite common now, but
at that time it was rare. In this case
there were three more teeth on either side
of the lower jaw than usual, and as hey
grew they caused the jaw to project for
ward. At birth the lower jaw was but ut
tie longer than the upper one. The sur
geOn merely resected the jaw On both sides
by cutting out a section on either slde
containing the extra teeth, cutting out
one in front to make the jaw narrower
and bringing the ends of the bones to-
gether. 1t was simple enough, but the
country people laid awake of nights think
ing about it.
Another young lady who, when mere
child toddling around, had her neck bad
ly scalded by pulling the cofee-pot OIL the
breakfast table, and afterWard carried
her head greatly to one side, went to see
the doctor. Without so much as asking
her consent, he severed the contracted
muscles; shipped a piece out OF her
shoulder, fitted it in, tied up the wound,
and told her if she would hurry she would
catch the next boat for home.

n DARLING DOCTOR.
Peculiar in Practice but Successful in
Procuring Results.

'TheTe is a big difference in doctors,

other day. "YOu think you know some
thing about 'em, but you are still in the
fluff and bloom and kindergarten of life.
Wait till you've been through what l

s'Where, for instance?" l asked him.
''Well, say nothing about anything else,
ust look at the doctors we had in the war.
We had a doctor in our regiment that
looked as if he knew 50 much that itmade
him unhappy. l found ont aiterward that
he ran a kind of COW fOundling asylum il

was above the knee, and he got the COW
idea into his head IN a way that set the
knee behind. That was bad.
Il told MIN enc day that ne was

me l must be a mind-reader.
For several weeks our Colonel couldn't
eat anything, and seemed to feel kind of
bilious. He didn't know what the trouble
was till he went to the doctor. He looked
at the Colonel few moments, examined
MS tongue, and told him right OF that he
had lost his cud.
This doctor was always telling Of his
triumPhs in surgery. He did save good

war. He did il in an odd way. too.
He had about one more year to serve,

SACRED CATTLE IN TEXAS
The Menagerie Stock Strengthens the
Herds of the Lone Star State.

Ae1D -Hecjcl11 STOCK GFOlC6F.
John O'Nell, cattle raiser of lifelong
experience in Victoria county, Texas
called on the Stock Gro1Cer this week anC
a conversation with him proved most in
teresting. Mr. O'Neil is one of the very
few breeders in this country of Brahma
or sacred cattle, of the East Indies. Il
would at first seem farcical to speak Of
raising ''menagerie stock" but Mr.. O'Nei
will soon be able to prove to stock-men of
the West that this strain will show as
many good qualities as the much-talked-
of HerefOrds and Durhams.
The first sacred cattle brought to Amer
lea consisted of two lots, one of which
went to Georgia and the other to LOuisi.
ana. In 1879 Mr.. O'Neil noticed COWS
near his home which were a cross between
the natives and the Brahmas, and were
the property of neighboF. The winter
and spring of 1879 were exceptionally
hard on cattle, and the "die-Off7' was some
thing tremendous. Our observing friend
saw in the spring that the Brahma cows
were IN excellent condition, and after eX-
periments he concluded that the breed
would be good one to cross with the ma
two COWS (thoroughbreds) from the Lou
isiana herd and afterwards increased the
number from Georgia. The result of the
cross was satisfactory. They are of good
size, fine beef qualities, and possess the
best rustling qualities of any breed.
Mr.. O'Neil obtains the best results
from a cross between the sacred cattle
with pure Durhams, and the male stock
from this cross he runs with his natives.
There is a heavy demand in Texas for the
Brahmas, as they are called, but it is ut
terly impossible to supply it. Mr.. O'Neil
intends to stock a ranch in thisTerritory,
when our New Mexico cattle owners will
have an opportunity of seeing the sacred
cattle. The thoroughbreds are described

A MARVELLOUS LITTLE STREAM.
Wherein Birds and Beasts are Caught
and HOpelessiy Held Captive.


From Across the Pdmp1s and the Andes.
At distance of thirty miles south of
the river Diamante our route passed by
natural object of considerable interest
a stream, or rather rill, of yellowish white
fluid like petroleum issuing from the
mountain side at a considerable height,
and trickling down the slope till lost in
the porous soil of the valley below. The
source from which it flowed was at the
junction where hard metamOrphic rock,
interspersed with small crystals of agnite,
Overlay a stratum of volcanic tuff. 1t
was formed like the crater Of a volcano,
and full of black, bituminOus matter. hot
and sticky, which could be stirred up to
the depth of about eighteen inches.
FlOundering in it was a polecat or
skunk Mephetis varians), having been
entlced to its fate by the desire of secur-
ing bird caught in the natural bird lime,
till a bullet from the revolver of one of the
party terminated the skunk's struggles to
eXtricate itself from the warm and adj
hesive bath in which it was hopelessly
held captive. The overflow from this foun-
tain was, as described, like a stream of
petroleum two or three feet wide trick
ling over a bed OF pitch or some such sub
stance, which extended to amuch greater
width along the edge of the running
stream at its contact with it, This ma
LtIIol was VI Il very SUNNY hdlulC3 OSSO4A-
ing gradually harder as it spread further
out, assuming the character of asphalt
when it became mingled with rne loose
sand of the adjoining soil.
While engaged in examining this natu-
raj curiosity, we came upon two small
birds, caught in the sticky substance at
the edge of the stream; they were still
alive, but upon releasing them both the
feathers and the skin came off where they
had come in contact with the bituminous
matter, so that we had to kill them to put
an end to their suaerings. No doubt they
had been taken in by the appearance of
water which the stream presented and
had alighted to drink, when they discov-
cred their mistake too late. Their fate
suggested the idea that in a district so
devoid of water others ofthe feather tribes
must constantly become victims to the
same delusion in a similar manner, and
upon a close inspection of the margin of
the stream the correctness of this infer
ence was established by the discovery of
numerous skeletons of birds imbedded in
it; nor were those OF small quadrupeds
unrepresented, among which we recOg-
nized the remains of a fox.

A Matrimonial Lottery.


Alta recent wedding reception in South
Carolina a Young LAWYER begged leave to
offer n new scheme of matrimOny, which,
he believed. would be beneficial. He pro-
DOsed s.that one man in the company

President should be duly sworn to keep
entirely secret all communications that
should be forwarded TO him in his official
department that night. and that each I'M
married gentleman and lady should write
his or her name on piece OF paper, and
under it the name Of the person they
wished to marry, then hand it 10 the
President for inspection, and if any gen.
fleman and lady had recipTOcally chosen
each other, the President was to inform
each OF the result, and those who had not
been reciprocal in their choice, kept en-
tirely secret" After the appointment of
the President communications were &C
cOrdinglv handed up to the chair, and ii
was found that u young ladies and gen.
tlemen had made reciprocal choices, but
whom they had chosen remained secret
to all but themselves and the President.

HODGINs' FAMILY HISTORY.
John Mourned ToF as Dead at Indians
Savage Hands.

Savage Hands.
John Hodgins, says the New York San,
was born in Rye village, n. Y, 30 years
ago. He went to school there up to his
18th year, and all the residents knew him.
He was very strong for his age, and, being
next to the eldest of eight children, it was
decided that he must begin to help sup
port the large family. He was sent to
Sing Sing, and apprenticed to become a
mason, like his father. He worked
steadily for year, but his master,
an Englishman treated him
with great severity, giving him
only enough money to pay his board. He
grew discouraged, and at the end of that
time he packed up his things and ran
away to Boston with two bricklayers.
He wrote home that he had been unable
to obtain regular work on account of be-
ing an apprentice. and asking to have
some money sent to him. His father at
once enclosed the money, but the letter
came back TO Rye unopened, and nothing
more was heard from John Hodgins until
two years after. Then John Dunn, who
had been his schoolmate, went to New
Orleans as an engineer on a steamboat,
and saw him there; talked with him, and
made an appointment, which was not
kept, to meet him again.
When Dunn brought word to Rye that
he had seen Johnny HOdgins, it turned
the village upside down. Old friends
came constantly to see if Johnny had az
rived, and his mother spent hours in talk
ing to the younger children about him
and watching for HIM, but nothing fur
Their was heard from him for years, until
it was read in a newspaper that he had
been killed by Indians in the Black Hills.
The father died believing that the son had
gone first, and after the village gossips were
through talking about poor Johnny Hod-
gins hard luck, the matter was dropped.
Only when the boys saw their mother
weeping without any apparent cause
they knew that she had been talking to
some one who remembered her lost son.
Now Rye village is excited once more
about John Hodgins, and this time more
than ever before. The young lOungers on
the platform of the railroad station never
knew him, but they have all heard about
his beng killed by Indians, and are much
excited to hear that he has come home
alive and well, without a scar of tOma-
hawk or scalping knife about him. A

JENNY LIND, in her prime. was never what
could be called beautiful; but crowds loved
to look upon her face; and when she came on
to the stage and stood waiting silently until
the storm of applause which always greeted
her appearance subsidized, she was in the habit
of turning first to the left and then to the
right, simply to allow everyone to have the
pleasure of a good stare. They had paid their
money almost as much for that as for the
songs, and she was resolved that none shOOld
be defrauded, so far as she was conc erued.
No one thought the gracious and unaffected
act anything but one more artless manifesto
ton Of a simple and beautiful character.
