A WRECKED LIFE.
A Young Girl From Crawford County
Found In II Brothcl Here.

Some time last fall young girl from
near Vail, in Crawford county, came t.
this city under great distress of mind.
The young men who had seduced her,
and by whom she was in a condition
which ought to have the sanction of mar.
riage, had disappeared, and hearing that
he was in this city she left friends and
home determined to find him. and to
plead with him to at least give her the
title Of wife. On arriving here she
showed the photograph of her seducer to
q man who claimed to be an officer and
urged him to help her find him. The
man took the photograph, and she did
not see him or the photograph again.
Then she applied at police headquarters
and the officers searched some but with no
avail. All thought of the girl had passed
away months ago, but yesterday friends
from her home arrived here to make
search for her, they having lost all trace
of her whereabouts. After q few hours
search she wal found in a brothel in this
city, with q babe in her arms about four
weeks old. Her trunk was being held
by the landlady, Us is usual, on account
of unpaid board, and she was in a de,
plorable condition. Her friends induced
her to leave with them, and in honor to
Officer Leonard it should be stated that
besides helping them to get the girl, he
advanced money to start her on her
journey, her friends not having enough
with them to defray the expenses,
What will be the after years of a young
life thus early wrecked can only be sur
missed.

William Charged With Numerically
Humping His Wife-His
Explanation.

Yesterday morning there vas a lively
family matinee in the home of William
Gates, near the Rock Island depot. The
woman was badly pounded up, and a doc
tor had to be called to attend to her in
juries, while the husband was taken in
tow by a policeman and led up to head
quarters to explainhis u~nhusbandly treat
ment of the one he had sworn to loveand
protect. William claims that the trouble
arose because he wouldn't deed some
property to her. He was pretty well adj
vanced in years when he married her,
and she was quite young, though she had
been divorced from one husband. In
fixing up the new matrimonial contract,
it is claimed that one of the conditions
on which she married Gates was that he
would deed her a certain piece of proper
ty. He did not do 30, and hence there
was a cracked ~hearthstone. Gates says
that Thursday they had alively discussion
over the matter and that she pulled a re.
volver on him. He then grabbed her,
got the revolver away from her, and
then hid it in the barn. They then agreed
on a truce, and after passing the nigh
pleasantly together, he yesterday morn.
ing returned the revolver to her, but an.
other row started, and she got his deeds
and other papers out of his trunk and
| threatened to burn them. AS she got
the lid off the stove and Was going to
toss the papers into the fire, he went fol-
her again, and then she again got the re-
%volver. He then clinched her, but says
he only used necessary force to protect
himself, though the woman's bruises art
said to indicate more than that. 1t il
said by some relatives of the woman who
know her well that she is liable to Shoot
the old man if he comes fooling around
the house. and they advised the authori
ties not to let him loose, but as no com
| plant had been filed he was allowed e
go, on the promise of appearing to an
swer any charge brought against him.

Fish Culture.

Correspondence New England Farmer.
In the different lakes and waters of the New
England States will be found different varieties
and species of fish, and the observant man will
often be puzzled to account for their presence.
Among the explanations given are the following
Whirl-winds gather up very minute fish and
transport them; the adherence of the ova to
mud on the feet of wading birds: and in some
localities perhaps the following explanation will
apply, the present system of canals also has
tended to mingle the ichthyie faunas of our
various river systems" Certain varieties of fish
will only live in certain waters; the sea salmon
will not live in water above a certain tempe ra-
ture, about 60o Fahrenheit in which respect
they differ from the land locked" salmon. Trout
pickerel and bass all thrive best in cold waters,
which will, perhaps, account for their absence
from certain lakes and rivers and 1t is fact that
the colder the water up to ceatan point in
which the fish are found, the better these fish
will be for the table. Fish, such as catfish or
"bull-pouts" carp and eel, which lie in warm
and muddy waters, are not as healthy eating as
the Others mentioned, though in the spring and
fall when the water is colder, they are better
than at other times. Some attention has been
given, and interest attracted to- the cultivation
Of carp, and innumbrabie carp ponds have been
stocked throughout the country. While not
wishing to depreciate any laudable enterprise, l
would state emphatically my opinion that only
during certain portion of the spring are these
fish at all fit to put on the table AT other times
they have a muddy taste, are Shiny and actually
uuAedFtdly. WnSi even Ihdt OrlSH llttle lSii INC
river perch, is. in hotweather, unfit to eat That
hsh can be easily cultivated is fact proved
by the experience of other nations, but do not
believe that the tasteess and insipid German
carp will or can ever, become a favorite article
of diet In China curious kind of pelican is
trained to catch fish, and ring is adjusted to its
neck to prevent its swallowing the fish At the
recent bird show in Boston, there were birds
shown in a tank under the name of Canton, or
Chinese ducks, which were nothing more nor less
than these pelicans, Fish in that country form
a most important article of diet as they do in
all densely populated countries, where there are
large rivers and stretches of water. In my
opinion these carp ponds in this country would
prove far more profitable to the agricuturist, or
poultry in place of the soft insipid carp, which
latter must be sold very cheap to command a
market. OF course there is very little trouble
connected with a carp pond but where there is
but little trouble there can be but little profit.

BE Interesting.
ISpIANAPoLIs Dec. 8.
The general business situation is unchanged,
aullness being the leading characteristic in
traffic In some branches of trade there is now
and then brisk day in trade, but it is of short
duration, and indications now are that except
in holiday goods, trade will be light and disap-
pointing the remaining days of the year. The
disposition of merchants all over the country is
to reduce rather than TO add to stocks on the
eve of annual inventories and book settlements
The situation as whole continues to present
diseouraging features in the shape of indus trial
restrictions wages reductions, and close compe-
ttion in the marketing of all kinds of rnerchan-
disc but it is gratifying to note, in the face Of
these evidences of business depression grow
ing tendency among merchants to more conf
dent and cheerful expressions concerning the
prospects for trade after the turn of the year
Sentiment, after all, has good deal to do with
business, and this extending feeling of hopeful
ness in commercial circles is a forerunner of re
turning confidence that will go long way
toward bringing about the much desired business
and industrial revival The Increase of failures
usually noted toward the close of the year is
apparent in the reports from all sections last

The question is often asked "How does deep
blowing make the soil moister2p l believe it
is an accepted fact that wherever warm air
comes in contact with a body cooler than itself
the water in it condenses into drops. On warm
day we see it on the outside of pitcher of cold
water. Fogs and dews are made in that way,
gulf in those heavy currents of warm air that
we frequently have. When we pulyerize the
soil deeply the warm air, which is full of
moisture, penetrates down and all through it,
and the ground being cooler than
