Is The Gcrman Carr a Failure :.

Tho Washington correspondent OF the Hart
ford Times, In q recent letter to that paper,
says the German carp is a failure. He says:
"Tho Fish Commission has spent thousands
OF dollars (s17,000l during tho past six years
propagating artiticially the German carp. II
is now claimed that tho Fish Commission
have some carp In tho Government ponds
grown in this country, which weigh from
twelve TO twenty-five pounds. Even the Fish
Commission does not claim, however, that
there has been found any one brave enough to
eat them, or that any one can bo secured who
will eat them. Carp culture has been a success
as far as culture Is concerned, but carp con.
sumption is great and enormously expen'

BLOOD SUCKED FROM A DYING Boys
ARM.-London, September Ga case
which exceeds in CHASTITY horror the can
nibalism of the Greely expedition, was
brought to light to-day by the arrival of
the German bark MOatezuma, having on
board the survivors OF the wreck Of the
yacht Migonette. The yacht was of only
twenty three tons burden, but she sailed
rom Southampton for Australia on the
18th Of May. On the 18th of June,
when near the equator, III the Indian
Ocean she encountered a storm which
sent her to the bottom. Four of her
company escaped in a dingy: They were
Captain Dudley, two seamen and a lad
named Parker. All the provisions they
had been able to throw into the boat be-
fore the vessel sank consisted of a few
tius Of turnipS, and they were absolutely
without water. They sub>iSted for FIVE
days on the canned turnips, aud on the
fifth day they caught a small turtle.
thirst, and on the eighth day their sui
tering were SO mailening that : BY the
twelfth day every shred of the turtle, in
ella ing its skin, had been consumed.
The boy Parker was the weakest of the
iour sufferers, and it was evident that he
was slowly dying. The others nungrily
watched his symptoms OF dissolution. On
the twentieth day, after the entire party
had been without a particle of food for
eight days, the Captain fastened young
Parker's death BY opening a vein in his
arm. Then the survivors eagerly drank Of
the boys blood as it gushed from his
arm. and they tore the flesh from his
bones and ate it ~uncooked, but with some
degree of moderation, the Captain keep
ing possession of the carca, ) and serving
out to himself and the two sailors only
such daily ratlons as were necessary to
to preserve their lives. They prolong-
ed their wretched existence 10 this way
until the 9TH Of July, when they were
seen and rescued BY the Montezuma.
During the twenty -four days that had
elapsed 81 &c the sinking Of the yacht the
dingy had drifted $50 miles.
