Carp Culture.

Editor of the Enquirer: For the benz.

carp, | will give my experience with

cultivation of fish for six years, beginning
with the perch, when my attention wss
drawn to the carp. procured twenty

1880. These young fish averaged about
three inches in length. On the eth of

Again in September drained NV pond
aud found about six hundred Young fiab
from three to nine inches In length.
These placed in pond of the dimen.
SONS OF one acre. The fish are now
from nine TO fourteen inches in length.
The only trouble Ihave in raising these
hsh successfully, Is that of keeping other
species OF fish out of my ponds. which
Is one of the most important essentials in
the successful breeding CT carp. and
every means should be provided, hv
screening, or otherwise, to prevent other
varieties from entering into ponda.
Carp will spawn at two years Of age.
In large ponds, where there is plenty of
natural food, feeding will not be ncccssa.
ry:;, 1t is claimed that six hundred earn
VIII stock one acre, and thrive without
artificial feeding. If moro than this
number are in one.acre pond thew
should be fed. A pond of smaller ais
than one'acre consider worthless. 4
ene'ecre pond psonsr.y cared for will
furnish one family Of ordinary size with
all the fish they will require for food. hut
TO DO this, of course the pond must con.
tain more than they would consume.
My tish commenced 10 spawn on the
2Oth of last month. The eggs hatched

The young fish begin to take food in
from four 10 five dnys after they ara
matched. The necessity, therefore, of an
abundance Of hcquatic plants, especially
in the matching ponds, will be anparent'
since they serve the double purpose of
supplying food for the fish, and a natur.
al place OF deposit for the eggs.
Small ponds will not serve for provino
carp, even If the fish are regularly fe5
artificially. Too many fish in the pond
will keep the water constantly muddv
which will render the fish unfit for food
especially 10 the summer months. The
carp IL large. growing fish, and requires
plenty of water and food.-JoHN u.

Since the fair is over the So
called christians who attended have

trying to make the best Of it. They
forget the injunction, "Shun every

rush into the evil itself. The orig
lnal design Of fairs was, no doubt,
good, but to an observer in modern
times it would seem that such designs
had become terribly perverted. And
while it is true that horse racing,
fighting and Drunkenness
are not peculiar to the fair, yet we
may reasonably expect to find all
these there. How inconsistent seems
the life Of the christian who can be-
hold all these without repuke, even

j. S. Gillian delivered IS head
Of hogs to Z. J. Grotjan, jr., as per
contract. They were as fine lot as
1 ever saw. Two other hog buyers
we're present when the hogs were de-
livered, and pronounced them as
good lot rs Eerc ever shipped from
Charlton county, and positively the
best lot ever shipped from Dalton.
The rs head weighed %, POI pounds,
and Mr.. Gillian received $1.131 ,01
for the lot. I asked Mr., Gillian how
he managed to have such hogs, and
he said that he sowed rye for them in
winter and in the summer he grazed
them on clover and raised early corn
so as to get them on the early mar
ket. Mr.. Gillian claims that by this
process he can fatten hogs faster
and better, and that they viii be
much healthier, and far less liable to
disease. Q. q

AQalek Temper.

u y
Quick temper is one of the great
est sources Of personal unhappIness.
and has too often caused serious and
perhaps lasting rupture of family
ties. Pride and spirit prompt you to
continue the war of words, when si-
lence would be the most prudent
course.
But after the battle you count the
cost, and find you have lost that feel
ing Of self-respect which has made
you walk with conscious rectitude
until temper laid you low; you stand,
as it were, face to face with yourself,
and you are degraded in your own
eyes. bas
You should have stopped to think,
and said to yourself, swell, if I can
not subduel my present ilttemper, at
least / will not augment it by hasty
and unkind words. - Remember the
word that has gone out can never be
recalled. gttt, gz
How much Of hearC-burning, of
sorrow and remorse, We might save
ourselves by silence; for truly, on
such occasions, ''silence is golden"
We must learn, however, to use it in
the right place, and in the right way.
There is silence that irritates and
silence that soothes. The one in
cites to anger by d scornful sneering
expression of eountenance, while the
other, with anxious looks of loving
depreciation, disarms the fierce pas
sion which shrinks abashed, like
some foul image Of disordered fan
cy, from the questioning gaze of a
very pure soul. a1es3f7asf
Why waste time and feeling in
petty pickering? You are only los
ing so much peace; and the love of
those dear to you by so doing. Be-
ware then, Of cruel words which
rankle deep In the wounded heart,
and often leave . sting which only
the grave can cure. NJ. S.

Proved It On Him.

This story, or something like it,
was told by Gen. Shields when he last
visited Boston: - eco
While in Kentucky he was ap-
preached by a portly, substantial
looking man, who said: ST wish to
give you q piece Of advice. Never
deny anything. Sometime ago ran
for Office in this section Of the coun-
try, and resolved to keep qniet what
ever was said about me before the
election, which was TO take place in
about a month. The first week they
accused me Of being q horse thief,
but / paid no attention to it. The
second week they asserted that I had
been treasurer Of . trust company
and ran away with the funds, and 1
received this In silence. The third
week they said had induced my
right hand neighbor to make over his
property to me temporarily, and
then refused to give it up, and still I
made no defense. The fourth week
they came forward with q statement
that I had stolen the chickens of my
left-hand Eeighbor, worthy old la
dy, and sent her to an,insane asylum.
This made me indignant, and I de-
MED it in public. and I'll be burned
If they didn't go TO work and prove
it ON me- There is . moral con-
tanned in this story which some of our
political candidates might lay to
heart.

I How often do we hear is said in
praise of certain people that "they
always had good word for every
one" Such peple are spoken well
of in return they have many friends
and are always held up as subjects
worthy Of being followed by the
more careful and cautious. These
apparent monuments. of kindness
may serve some good purpose but,
to our mind, the goodness Of their
motives is to be strongly contrasted,
with the damage they cause by too
freely extolling those whom they
know little or nothing about. A
rogue well recommended, and that,
too, by people Of high moral stand
ing. is very dangerous person to
be ct large. And yet how many such
sWindlers are among as. Testimo-
mails Of character are supposed to be
given for the guidance and prutec-
ton OF innocent people; but in how
many cases have these recommenda-
tions aided the workings Of thieves
and scoundreis. The man who is
even over-slow to pfkise any one will
live long time bsfore bis silence in
this respect can have done IS much
harm as person who is too lavish
and careless with his eulogies may do
in . day.

The capital Is making ready for
the congressional and social opening,
which will take place in about SIX
weeks, but at the present time the
political field eclipses everything.
Although the District of Columbia
has no vote, there is no other portion
of the United States so intensely in
teFested in the result Of the election
as we are. Il is edifying, or at least
suggestive, to hear the bread and
bntter politicians who feed at the
public CRIB talk. A more soulless,
heartless set of political sharps does
not live. They are all pocket and
stomach. None know better than
they that the late elections augur no
good for Blame in November, and,
at the thought of Democratic success
they boil In their own venom. They
realize full well that the election Of
Cleveland will mean real civil SER
vice reform-a reform that will not
tolerate in places Of public trust
such deadheads and mere political
bummers as they are: They know
that when discharged from this gov
ernment eoddling asylum they will
not be able, in open market, to sell
their worthless services for one-third
as mucn as they are now paid. And
then, oh! horrors, they will have to
do real work for eight or twelve hours
a day, while here they only play at
work for six hours. Is it remarka-
Bile that, they look upon the advent Of
a party unfrieDdly to this disorder
of things as upon the advert Of rum? ?
Poor wretches! 1t will be ruin to
them, but the salvation Of the coun-
try demands it.
A Democratic administration will
indeed make great change in Wash
ington, and it must be admitted that
scarcely anybody, no matter what
his convictions and sentiments on
political questions are, wants
change The commercial, indus
trial, social and religious forces OF
the city have become identified and
interviewer with the personnel of the
party in Office. A disruption OF
these ties will, of course, be painful
to many. I will never forget the wan
CONSERVATION expressed in thousands
of faces eight years ago, when it vas
known, on the 5th Of November,
that Tilden was elected. On the
following day lying dispatch came
and was posted at the corners of the
streets 1t read:
s'Hayes has 185 votes, and is
elected. CHAEDLER."
1t was supposed that old Zach.
Chandler, now gone to his account,
had sent the dispatch; but, later, it
was known that VIM. 5. Chandler,
not yet called to account, was father
of the most stupendous lie OF all
time. Well, people gathered around
that lie wherever it was posted, and
sucked consolation from 1t, and
gazed at it with the alteration Of saw
ages for the sun. This dispatch was
the rallying point Of the crime OF
crimes, which nearly every person in
the party of moral ideas abetted.
Some may think that John Sherman
was the ring leader IN the yillainy,
others that Grant, who saw in it an
opportunity for another war didmore
than any other to carry out the infs-
nous plot think that this dis
patch of VIM. E. Chandler (the pres
ent Secretary Of the Nayy) and his
subsequent manipulation of the re-
turning board in Florida, had more
