I notice that the Shiawassee Green
hacker seems to feel very badly
wounded il regard 10 what Isaid
about Greenback administration sin
this township, and then goes on to
try to show by'its process OF reason
ing, that / am not following in the
footsteps Of my illustrious ancestor,
G. Washington.
Now Bro. Pulver, who said that
this state or county. was controlled
by the Greenbackefs2- Edidn't. and
more than. that, am: quite sure they
never will be.
This township, however, is under a
Greenback administration just as [
stated in THE TIMES. and taxes are
still quoted high.
You ask about the amount of state
and county taxes assessed in our
town, and wonder if had not heard
that they were higher than last year,
and then answer for me, ."don't
know
Now | don't claim to be as smart
as some country editors are, but |
found out all about that long while
ago, and probably from the same
source you did, viz: our Supervisor.
Our taxes are too high and you
you know 1t as well as 1 do, and so
does every intelligent man in Sciota.
More than this, l am told that you
have advised some of our tax PAYERS
not to pay the exorbitant drain tax.
Is this true?
You say that the only item of our
taxes for which your party is wholly
responsible, is this same drain tax.
Correct.
Now you have "let the cat out OF
the bag" Your party is responsible
then for the big drain tax. We are
thankful that you do not gague the
other branches Of taxation if this is
sample of your economy.
And more, l will be generous TO
add, that but for this same exorbitant
drain tax, l should not have had oc-
casion to complain of your Green
back administration.
But then your party is dead all the
same, dead as door nail. Nor was
it my pen inspired by a "giant brain"
that was the cause of its dissolution.
1t died naturally, peacefully.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

Springfield Republican: There are now eight lines of cable across the Atlantic in successful operation, owned by four companies. and all under the control of the Western Union Tele- graph Company. The Anglo-Ameri- can has four cables, cost $35, 5,OOO,OOO; Direct United States, one cable, ST. 100000; Pouver, Quertier, one cable, SS,4OO,OO0; Gould's American, two cables $14,000,O00. Four of these lines are old and will need renewal. The Bennett-Mackay line will be a dis turbing element among the invested interests of transatlantic telegraphy. It is calculated that it will secure lO,OOO,OO0 words of The 30,OOO,OO sent now over the cables, which, at 3 shilling tariff, would give an annual revenue of S2,50O,OO0 or about S2,OOO,. 900 net profit, being 25 per cent on the capital. The track of the new ca- ble is from Valentia, Ireland, to Dover Bay. The lines here divide, one run ming to Rockport and the other to Fire Island and Coney Island, and thence by an underground cable to New York City.

PARIS HORSE CARS.
lFrom letter in the Chicago Tribune

tFrom letter in the Chicago Tribune.l
 An amusing feature of Paris to a foreigner is the horse cars. The ap- pearance of the car driver and the con- ductor would almost assure one that they had been imported from Ameri- ca; but certain rules to be observed in running the cars very quickly remind him that he is in France. The cars are allowed to carry only a certain number of passengers-ten standing on the front platform, ten on the rear platform, and as many iu the car as allowed to have seats. Those inside pay 50 centimes (10 cents), and those outside 25 centimes. When car has its compliment the gates are shut, a sign is ming out reading "complet," and no one can enter. Turing the busy part of the day, between 5 and 6 o'clock, when crowds are waiting for acar, necessary t te apply apfllsF-st the office for a numbered ticket.
 A~mstance,, say applied and received No. 21. You wait for a car, and the driver, when ready, com mences to call une, deux, trois, and so on until he reaches your number, when you must be ready to enter; if not you must procure another ticket and wait your turn again. The system has its advantages as we'll as its disadvanta- ges, and the French think it great thing; but the amusing part of it to foreigners is the calling of the num- bers, and unless one is pretty we'll up in French, he is very apt to get left, and has to go and get another number.
 Instead of ringing bell like our conductors, they use kind of horn, which is attached to the dashboard and blown by rubber ball, which the driver presses. The sound, which is not unlike that of a cow-horn, can be heard distinctly for block. It is not objectionable, unless the instrument happens to be out of order, and then it is very unmusical. The cars are great convenience, and are very liber- ally patronized One sees, in them the economy of the French people as class, very finely dressed ladies stand on the platform to save five cents. Economy is observable everywhere in France, and there is much truth in the aphorism that "the people could live on what the Americans waste"

A SHARP DRUMMER.
(From the Rockland courier.l


 As the train slowed up at a station, a e$mmereial-lod sins man, who had been noticed Tn &arnest conversation with another party of the same gen eral appearance, was heard to remark Smart? He's the smartest drum mer you ever met anywhere. Why, he's smart enough to sell suspenders to dog"
 The other commercial-looking man nodded his head at this very happy il- lustration, and everybody thought the conversation was ended, when lone- some-looking individual on the oppo- site side of the car remarked:
 ''It doesn't take very smart man to sell suspenders to dog"
 Even the sleepy passengers aroused at this startling remark by the lone some-looking individual, and the com. mercial man asked in some surprise: "Why not?"
 Because it doesn't"
 "What would dog want with sus. penders?"
 "To keep up his pants" softly mur- mured the lonesome-looking individ- ual, gazing out across the snow-swept waste, with a far-away look in his voice.
 And the astonished brakeman sighed so loud as to crack every lamp chim. ney Tn the car.

Fish Hatchery.


The visit of +. N. Clark, u. S. fish
commissioner, to this city last week,
was for the purpose of perfecting ar
rangements whereby sufficient white
fish spawn can be obtained for the U.
S. hatcheries at Alpena and North
vile. Although great many mil
lions of white fish eggs were obtained
last year, yet several millions more
could have been taken care of if they
could have been obtained. The rea-
son why full supply could not be
obtained last fall, was owing partly
to the failure of trap net fishing in
Thunder Bay and partly to the trap
nets at Altoona being blown out by
severe storm during the run of
fish, and also to the general scarcity
of white fish on the gill net grounds.
Many white fish are caught during
the early part Of the fishing season
before they are ripe-that is ready to
spawn, and, of course, the spawn in
such fish are wasted. To save these
spawn, the fish commission propose to
build a small artificial pond in which
all such fish as the commission can
get hold of, will be placed and kept
until they are ready to spawn. Mr..
Clark and his capable assistants S.
Bowers and S. p. Wires, examined
several places, and have decided that
the best is at Altoona. White Fish
point was examined and would have
been used, but the road thereto is so
rough that it would destroy the eggs
to convey them over. At Altoona a
pond 200 feet long and 10 feet wide
will be constructed in such manner
as to admit the lake water and yet
not allow the fish to escape. Plans
and specifications are now being
drawn for the work, and if the ex-
pense is found not to be too great, the
work will soon be commenced. The
plan calls for the driving of spiles
around the pond, which will then be
planked and the interior dredged out.
The work will have to be made strong
so as to withstand the waves. This
work, if decided on, will be carried
on under the supervision of Mr..
Wires, who for the past two years has
been superintendent of the hatchery.
The two hatcheries have q capacity
for Matching about 150,000,000 fish
per year, and it is to be hoped that
they will be fully stocked this year.
The Matching Of fish is no longer an
experiment, it is a practical success,
and if the State will take proper ac-
ton, the lakes will again contain plen-
ty of white fish, One thing that will
have to be done will be to increase
the size of the meshes in the trap nets
50 as not to catch the small white fish.
Already in Lakes Superior and Mich
igan the small white fish are caught
in numbers, and, as they closely re-
semble herring, they are so classed
and disposed Of The fish that were
planted in the spring of 1888, in this
vicinity, will soon be about the size of
herring, and the Legislature should
try and do something to protect them
until they mature and be of use to the
people as food.
