Quality of Carr as Food.

Professor Shelton, of Kansas, thus
speaks on this point: There is much
dispute about the eating qualities Of
carp. By some it is claimed that crar
are equal to salmon or trout in edible
qualities, while others pronounce
them to be totally inferior in flavor
and quality. Probably the treatment
the fish have received, and more cspe.
cially the character of the soil under
lying the pond in which the fish have
been kept, the age of the fish, and
mode Of cooking, all influence the
quality of the crap, and thus produce
divergent opinions Regarding them.
Crap have not proved with us to be
tho best favored fish, but they are
greatly superior to buffalo fish, catfish
and most of our uative fish in quality
and flavor. They are bony, tolera-
bly, firm, fat fish, and the flavor, while
quite pronounced, is not disagreeable.
They will prove welcome addition
to the daily fare of most Of farmers
who give them trial.

McBrail, in strolling through the

was amusing herself by swinging on a

started, leaped from the vine and was
about to run away, when he said;

The people Of the United States, though often
urged and tempted, have never seriously con
templatcd the recognition Of any other money
than gold and silvcr-and currency directly
convertible into them. They have not done SO,
they will not do so under any necessity less
pressing than that OF desperate war. The one
special requisite for the completion Of our
monetary system is the fixing OF the relative
values Of silver and gold. The large use of silver
as the money Of account among AsIatic nations,
taken in connection with the increasing com.
mcrcc Of the world, gives the weightiest reasons
for an international agreement In the promises.
Our government should not cease TO urge this
measure until a common standard Of value

that shall enable the United States to use the
silver from It's mines as all auxiliary TO gold in
pCttling the balances Of commercial exchange.

BASEBALL MATTERS.
Manager 0Ieary To Be Released-His Prob
able Successor

1t is now definitely settled that Daniel O'Leary
will not be manager of the indianapolis Base
ball Club during the present season., and at the
meeting of the directors, tonight, his release
will be given him, provided certain conditions
are complied with The status of the matter is
about as follows verbal agreement had been
made between Weary and the club, but no con
tract waa signed. A few days ago OLeary sent
a contract to be signed, which provided expressly
that the club should have no other manager
whatever this year, matter whether
his services were satisfactory or not.
He also demanded that this contract
be signed at once or his release sent him. Presi
dent Schwabacker answered that his release
would be sent him as soon as he settled up his
account with the club, and yesterday O'Leary
telegraphed to send him the amount and he
would pay it at once by draft, which was done
last night.
1t is pretty well understood that when OLeary
gets his release he will at once sign a contract
TO become manager of the new Union League
club at Cincinnati, and ii is said that his salary
will be s.. 600 for the season. The president of
the club s now at Evansville negotiating with
him. Ii is a good position and one which Daniel,
with his experience and qualifications, can well
fill. 1t is not known who will be his successor
here, but there is a very strong feeling in base
ball circles and among the directors for Harry
Dean, who is capable and courteous gentleman,
and well qualified in every way. 1t is not i'm
probable that he will be employed, if terms can
be agreed upon.
