AT least a hundred applications for
German Carp have been filed with
the Bureau of Fisheries this year, by
our Congressman on behalf of .heir
constituents; and in each instance
the applicant reports having prepared
pond for their reception that meets
all the requirements. Mississippi
already has many of these ponds
stocked with Carp, and if the Bureau
is able to fill the orders now Oh file
fish culture will have obtained a grand
send off in the State.
In this connection we would again
call the attention of our readers to
the fact that there is no possible
chance of the Carp propagatilg if
any other fish are left in the ponds.
They will not defend their spawn
from other FISH.

SENATOR Jones, of Fiorids, deliver
ed lecture in New York, lest week
on IRELAND and the Irish"

Henry Waterson's recent fulmina-
ton with regard to the Morrison bill
is having exactly the contrary effect
to the one anticipated by that edu-
Gated idiot. In reference to the
"barnacles" that he speaks Of, Mr..
Eaton of Connecticut says that
Waterson may learn ere long that
"the barnacles are bigger than the
ship" If the Democratic party was
forced to 60 into campaign without
the support of the protectionist ele-
ment, it could not carry halfa dozen
States in the Union. There are many
ultra free traders in the Republican
party, but they vote the Republican
ticket all the same at every election,
as the recent Congressional contest
in Kansas amply demonstrated.
