Of des,ruc,ion Instead Of cultivation
Eighty years ago herring and soao
were caught In Albemsrle and Nelson.
Loudon, Rappahannock, Amherst and all
the counties along the rivers that wafer
these three districts. Now 1t is an ex-
cep,ion If a fish can be found anywhere
in these sections except the bass that
have been bred in recent years.
The fact that the numerous rivers OF
Virginia can furnish enormous quantities
Of fish a. low rates to the poor people In
the country, and that this supply has
been cut of is simply disgrace. 1t
only needs a few simple laws to put the
thing where it belongs.
In the FIRST place the people are en-
titled to the product of the inland waters
and to whatever home waters can bring
them from the sea, and If they want to
catch and sell the fish II is their right and
not the right Of the foreigner from the
North. If the present lawless and de-
siructive style of fishing Is stopped the
rivers Of Virginia will be teeming with
fish in three or four years. The way it
stands now any pot fisherman can come
I'D our rivers, set his nets so that not a
fish can pass, catch all breeding fish
and destroy the breed just for one sea
sons profit.
The Virginia Legislature should hasten
to do two things first, to appoint con-
ference with the Maryland Legislature
with a view 20 enforcing local rights
in shing and in game privileges for tie
Chesapeake and Potomac, and secondly,
we should distinctly enforce proper laws
for the preservation OF fish. The sim
plist way Is to define the "close seasons
and make the penalties for violating the
law severe enough TO secure civilized
rule against the exceptional barbarisns
and pot hunters.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The serene aspect of the weather yes
terday was propitious In all respects and
he day was more generally observed
than heretofore. 1t Is well for the pee
pie to show proper feeling in the mat
ter of National holidays. We have but
one country for US all and to that We
should offer our patriotism on such
occasions. 1t is true that there is GER
tain amount Of sectional prejudice in the
NORTH, but prejudice is one of those
ephemeral poisons that die out while
healthy opinion lives and grows. II is
not sensible in Southern people to take
counsel from prejudice when we know
that all over the country there is broad
Americanism above all party, and
founded on deep popular feeling for
our free institutions and the necessity Of
preserving them.

Wherever dogs run wild, Us in Aus
tralia and in India, they show many
Of the characteristics OF wolves. They
have similar habit Of hunting IN
packs. The people of Assam tel won
derful stories Of the cunning and sa-
eacity of these Wild hounds when ~
pursuit Of game
They say that when q pack goes out
to hunt, an old dog goes IN front and
searches for fresh scent Of deer.
Having found this, he starts off alone,
and when he has ascertaincd the
whereabouts Of the quarry returns to
the pack, which he then disposes IN a
circle Of a mile in diameter round it;
each member Of the pack has n part
allotted to him.
These precautions having been
taken, the old general starts alone
once more in search of tho victim,
and on finding gives chase. The start
led deer of course flies from his enemy,
who follows, giving tongue as a signal
10 the rest of the pack. The deer, fan
ontstriDping the dog, rushes on, but Is
suddenly met in front by one OF the
outlying dogs, who gives chase. The
deer, Of course, turning TO the right
or left, ag;iin rushe5 off, only to be
met and turned by another dog.
Thus, turned al every point, the
poor animal becomes more and more
exhausted, while the pack gradually
closes in upon it, leaving no avenue
of escape, and dozens Of sharp fangs
soon feast on the victim which has in
this way been run to death. Youth 8

Mr.. Curtis, in Hay4er's Weelly, says
"The sooner the press Of the Southern
States can correct the habit Of talking
about "the South and "the Southern
people" and cherishiDg determined
spirit Of sectlonalism, the better for the
whole country. That press is greatly
deceived II it supposes there is any other
general feeling in this part of the Union
than the sincerest regard for all other
parts, and the most intelligent apprecia-
tion OF the peculiar difficulties of the
situation ia the Southern States"

Republican party that gave US the carpet

make it impossible for one political party
