Carp Culture.

The Stock Journal says: "A pond
of an acre in extent and four feet of
water will hold 1000 carp. 1t
will thus be been that Fl. 900 pounds of
fish can be raised on an acre of ground.
worth 50. 100"
The estimate as to the number of carp
that can be raised on an acre of ground
covered by certain amount of water
may be accurate to the smallest carp
minnow," but the value of the fish is
over estimated by about $3.50.
We used to be an enthusiastic advo-
cate OF carp culture, until we accepted
and invitation to ''carp dinner with
the State Fish Commissioner ut Austin.
We were given fried carp first. There
were several of us at the table and we
all went to work in business like man
ner, but after each of us had tasted q
piece of the fish, strike was at once
inaugurated and the foreman Capt.
Lubbock) was notified that we had con-
cluded to Walk out" We were finally
pursuaded to remain and discuss mat
ters over some Chateau Bouliac" and
some common everyday catfish. After
we got settled down to business. Cap
tain Lubbock explained that there had
been mistake made in cooking the
carp. He said that the restaurant cook
was IRISH, through and through, while
carp, being of German descent, should
be cooked in the Teutonic language.
We accepted the explanation, and
new invitation to try some Dutch"
carp, done brown by a German who had
cooked carp in their native country.
In fac. the German was so familiar with
the carp's ancestors, that Capt. Lub-
book afterwards told us that he had to
make an embankment around the Gov
eminent fish pond to keep all the carp
from coming to town to see this particu-
lar Dutch cook.
With these inducements before us we
promised to be promptly on hand next
day at noon. Noon came, so did the
party of the previous day. as per prom
Use. The Dutch cook and foreign fish
filled their part of the engagement.
The cook looked natural, but if the dish
which he bore contained a government
protege, Capt. Lubbock must introduce
us again.
The dish was deep one, the top en-
bellshed with scented herbs and lemon.
Beneath was a semi-liquid substance
similar to the water used By Dallas for
drinking purposes; at the bottom was
the carp.
This then was the proper way to
cook carp to make it palatable. We
ate of it, pronounced it good" When
we said good" we hesitated. and tried
to think of some other word, not quite
so expressive, but which would please
the fish-commissioner as well.
Carp are better than no fish at all,
but If we had pond and wanted to
raise fish, we would commence on trout
if the pond was suitable, if not, we'd
hold out inducements to the old re-
liable catfish and we would never put
carp in it until the catfish had positive
ly refused to inhabit it and multiply on
the American plan. -7eras Farm and

A Remarkable Recovery.

In 1876 Mrs. Ada Martin of Bronson,
fractured her left leg and paralysis of the
limb followed, with loss of speech. She
has not been able TO use the limb since or
markable way she recovered the use of
both her leg and voice. Mrs. Martin dur
ing her affection devoted her time to the
construction of crazy quilts, and was the
recipient of several patches from Presi-
dents Garfield, Arthur and Hayes. Yes
terday she received a patch with COM
pliments of President Cleveland, and the
pleasure of the event induced her to at
tempt to rise. Her sons revolver lay on a
stand near by and was joggled off, its fall
ing causing the weapon to be discharged.
The ball passed through the invalid's para
lived limb The shock restored Mrs. Mar
tins speech and her limb will be useful at
ter the bullet wound is healed.-Neps.

the following proclamation:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1885.
To the people of the United States: 1t
is my painful duty to announce the death
of Chester A. Arthur, lately the president
of the United States which occurred after
an illness of long duration, at an early
hour this morning, at his residence in he
city of New York
Mr.. Arthur was called to the chair of the
chief magistracy of the nation by trag-
edy which cast its shadows over the entire
government. His assumption of the grave
duties was marked by an evident and con-
seientious regard of his responsibilities,
and an earnest desire to meet them in
patriotic and benevolent spirit. With
dignity and ability he sustained the i'm
portant duties of his station, and the repu-
tation of his personal worth conspicuous
graciousness and patriot fidelity will long
be cherished by his fellow countrymen.
In token of respect to the memory of the
deceased it is ordered that the executive
mansion and the several departmental
buildings be draped in mourning for pc
riod of 30 days, and that on the day of the
funeral all public business in the depart
ments be suspended

pirate military and naval honors TO be
rendered on that day.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
by COY. HILL.
ALBANY, Nov. iS.-The following was is
sued this afternoon by Gov. Hill:
BY the death of distinguished citizen
the people of the state are again
called to mourn. Chester A. Arthur en-
tered into rest at his residence in New York
city early this morning. He has always
made his home within our state and from
his early manhood had occupied within il
places of official distinction. AS citizen
of New York state he was elected vice.
president by the whole people. Upon the
death of President Garfield he became
president by succession, and with dignity
to himself and with honor to the country
he filed that highest Office in our govern
ment. In all his life he bore without
abuse the name of a gentleman.
Remembering the services and admiring
the character of President Arthur, IL is
fitting that we should by such action as
may be deemed appropriate express our
sorrow in his death and show respect for
the official position which he held by
choice of his countrymen.
Done at the capitol it the city of Albany
on this eighteenth day of November, in
the year of Our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-six.

A Brutal Father.

Frederick Hall of Dundee, Monroe coun-
ty, has been arrested upon a charge OF in
cest brought against him by his l4-year
old daughter Libbie, who alleges that she
was ruined by her father over two years
ago and that he continued his abuse until
she left home about six weeks ago. She
further alleges that an older sister has suf-
fered in the same way at the hands OF
their father, who threatened them with
death in case they divulged their horrible
secret. Libbie, who is an exceptionally
bright and very good looking girl, talks
very freely of the matter and says she be-
lieves that third and younger sister has
suffered as she has. The day she made the
complaint she appeared to be in excellent
spirits, but the next day she cried at the
thought of the disgrace it would bring up
on the family and the sorrow it would
cause her invalid mother. Hall is a rather
good looking man about As years old, very
religiously inclined and has been prepar-
ing himself for missionary work in which
he intended to engage this winter. He is
very poor.
