Peculiar Fishes.
Territorial Enterprise.

In the high Sierras i'll the neighbor-
hood of Meadow lake are found beau
tiful little fishes of a species never yet
described ESQ far as we know by any
naturalist. They are never seen to
exceed three or three and half inches
in length. They are nearly black III
color, and have on each side bright
red stripe. These little fishes are
found in small basins in the bare gran
ite rock which in that region often
form extensive terraces. The little
pools in which they are found are only
from few feet to rod or two in di-
ameter and are only filled with water
for month or two after the melting
away of the snow. How the fish get
into the rocky basins and what be-
comes of them when the water dries
up has always been a mystery. The
miners who were in Meadow lake at
the time it had its boom were of the
opinion that the little creatures buried
themselves in the sediment at the
bottom of the basins and there re-
mained in a sort of mummified state
until the water came again the next
year. When the Meadow lake was a
live aud inhabited camp the beautiful
little fish of the rock basins were often
to be seen in the houses, where they
were kept in vases, as are gold fish.
The same little fishes are doubtless yet
to be found in the Meadow lake
country, but. of late years we have
heard no mention made of them.

LIFE AT CAMP PERRY.
What a Kan Who Is There Has to Say
About It

CAMP PERRY, FLA, Aug. 2s.-Please
contradict the article published in the
Florida Times Union of Aug % that c. II.
Pollard contracted fever here. Mr.. Pollard
was received in camp on the morning of
Aug. %, and taken sick in the afternoon,
which shows that he brought the disease
with him from Jacksonville. IL is i'm
possible to contract fever here, as this place
is not infected. DR.. Guiteras discovered
fever in Pollards case while inspection was
going on in camp. DR.. Guiteras at once
had tent built at distance upon hill
from the camps. The patient was removed
at once to the hill, where he remained for
several days, until removed by DR.. John
Guiteras and assistant, Fred Won Ramp, on
a special train furnished by the United
States government for transporting the
sick to Jacksonville. After the departure
of the train, DR.. Guiteras burned
Mr. Polard's tent, three cots,
etc; also destroying clothing worn
by himself. Fred Won Kamp Yves well
wrapped in rubberS furnished by the doctor
AS to the hardship of the camp, published
also in the Times Union, don't see how
that paper can publish such an article. The
refugees receive three meals day, with
fresh meats at every meal. We have the
best of everything the market affords for
camp life, with expert cooks from Savan-
nah in the kitchen to look out for the cook
ing This morning, after inspection, A F.
II. Smith, being absent from his tent, was
called by D. R. Blount TO return to his
tent. After DR.. Guiteras had examined him
he made a desperate attempt to escape
from camp. After being pursued for two
miles he was captured and returned 20

The wEeat cropl"
Wheat is getting TO be very insignifi-
cant crop in this state. The yield last year
went 70 about SO. 500. 900, and much doubt
whether it will reach that figure this sea-
son."
TO what cause is this falling Off to be
ascribedf
1T is very bard to say. Climatic and
various other influences combine to prevent
large yield.
THE year 1882, continued Judge Hender-
son, was one Of the most fruitful years
that Georgia has ever known. 1t gave us
the largest cotton crop in the history OF the
state, the number of bales being ABOUT 940,
Co., From that year to The present the
cotton crop has not fallen below 500, 000
bales We had the largest corn crop then
ABOUT 330O0, 600 bushels-and the largest
oat crop, ll,500000 bushels having been
gathered. The wheat crop footed up 5,000,
900. The year 1882 was a good year for
nearly every crop that was put in the
ground"

A Consistent System Wanted.
From the Boston Transcript.

A consistent scheme of capitalization and
punctuation is something greatly needed in
American books and newspapers. ANY
reader who has nice ideas ia these matters
must have been vastly puzzled by the di-
versity of styles which prevails Every
publishing house. every newspaper, and
every print e Office has a more or less
complex arrangement called ''the style of
the Office" which differs from the style of
every other office, and is Law unto itself
Inc chaos OF styles operates to the terror OF
proof-readers, the financial less of compost
tors and the perplexlty of the reading pub
lie. One newspaper capltalizes everything,
practically; the New York Tribune, which
speaks of the Managing Editor of the
Yonkers Gazette, and the Annual Reunion
OF the Young Lady Graduates of Vassar
College, represents this extreme Another
paper capitalizes nothing; the Springfield
Republican is a fair representative of this
class. IL Flower cases" the terms president
Of the United States, governor of Massa-
chussetts, republican party, interstate com
MERGE commission, and SO on. Perhaps the
Chicago Times and the Louisville Courier
Journal and few other western papers
carry the abolition of capitals to a still
more radical extent. This irreverence in
the matter of capitals is rather more COM
mon in the west so far as newspapers are
concerned than in the east; but certain Bos-
ton publishers, and notably the publishers
Of the library catalogues, carry the matter
still further. In these volumes one finds the
titles Of books done up in this way: His
tory OF Oriental nations;n "What we owe
to Agassiz as teacher" Travels on the
west coast of Africa,n and so forth. The
tendency in this country, on the whole, is
toward diminishing use of capitals, and
there is no denying that there can be no
sure system, (which will answer every aues-
tion of capitalization, short of either the
German way on the one hand which capt.
talizes every substantive, or else the French
system on the other hand, which ca italizes
nothing but proper names. As to punctua-
ton, that ought to be an easier matter TO
arrange; but typographers will agree that
there is between the close systems in use
in certain offices, and the "loose" systems
in certain Others. q great deal OF room for
divergence
The Listener is reminded Of anincldent
which occurred in Boston newspaper Of
fee not long ago. The chief proof-reader
had been greatly annoyed by an extraordi-
nary use OF commas that cropped out in oc-
casional takes" on his proofs. and finding

SLEEP AFTER A MEAL
The Brain Should Rest While the Stom-
ache Digeets the Food.
From, the Westminster Reytec.


From the Westminster Reuietc
There is widespread superstition, cher
ished by the great majority of the people,
that to sleep immediately after they have
taken food is to endanger health, to favor
the onset of apoplexy, ETC., a superstition
based on the assumption that during slse1
the brain is normally congested. There is,
no doubt such thing as congestive s.eep
but during normal sleep the brain is anse-
mic. When q person has taken a fairly
abundant lunch or dinner the stomach de-
niands a special influx Of blood wherewith
to accomplish its work of digestion; no or
gan can more easily comply with that de-
mand than the brain, which, when In full
activity, is suffused with a maximum
amount of the vital fluid. But a derivation
of blood from the brain to the stomach can
only take place, except in exceptionally
full-blooded and vigorous persons on the
condition that the cerebral functions he
meanwhile partially or wholly suspended.
Hence many people after taking dinner feel
indsposed Tor mental action and not few
long for sleep. The already partially ana
mic brain would fain yield up to the stom-
ach a still further supply Of blood and yield
itself up to refreshing sleep. Doing so, it
gains new strength; meanwhile digestion
proceeds energetically, and soon body and
lHluu are again eqllppsu 10 continue IN fuIi
force the hattle OF life. But superstition,
the CHILD of ignorance, intervenes, declares
that sleep during indigestion is dangerous.
admonishes the would-be sleepers TO struggle
against their perilous inclination, and, though
telling them that after dinner they may
sit awhile, assures them Of the sdage, "Af-
ter supper walk a mile.n
The millions of its victims continue, there
fore, the strife to which it condemns them
and ignore the suggestions offered to them
by the lower animals, who have always
practiced the lessons of sound physiology
by sleeping after feeding whenever thev are
allowed 10 do so. Hence the human brain
and human stomach Of such victims con
tend with each other during the digestive
process. The brain, impelled by superst.-
ton, strives TO work and demands blood 10
work with, while the stomach, stimulated
by its contents, strives to carry on les mar
Vicious chemistry and demands an ample
supply of blood for the purpose. The re-
suit OF the struggle is that ncitaer is able to
do It's work we'll. Tho brain is enfeeb!ed by be-
ing denied its natural rest during the diges-
tive procs7s, and tho healthy function Of
the stomach degenerates into dyspepsia.
