HERBIVOROUS FISH,
Carp That Eat Grass and Vegetable
Growths.

Carp That Eat Grass and Vegetable
Growths.
The manager Of the Laguna de Tache
Rancho, says the San Francisco Call,
says the carp which were introduced In
the Kings river a few years ago have
grown so plentiful that they are thin
ming out the ducks and almost all other
water fowl except the wild geese.
"They pervade the river in large
numbers" said he, land are very thick
in the irrigating bitches. They seem to
eat the grass They devour the various
kinds Of small animal life, and though
the ducks and other fowl dive down
deep they can find little to eat.
81 cannot imagine what the United
States fish commission was about in
sending out such q coarse-heshed,
ravenous fish as these carp are. They
are certainly worse TO eat than almost
any Ash we have in California and they
are thinning the good fish out
"Shoals OF them are TO be found in
the water bitches. They get out on the
grass where there is little water, and
there you can scoop them In. Some OF
them nre very large. Plenty can be
seen from foot 20 two feet long.
"They eat the natural food OF the
duck, widgeon and snipe, and as con
sequence all those are getting scarce

could hear his heart humping audibly
close under his chin. For never had

giving one red-hot "rebel yell" and

Then the seeming endless agony was
over; the last riders had passed, disap-
peared, and were ascending the hill be-
yond the hidden watchers; and not q

commander that his prey had been 30

Then the southern woman-like all
her sisters, forgetful Of danger, Of self,
OF all save her loves labor-whispered:
"Thank Godl we can make the Ferry

And In answer, clear and shrill and
loud from the road beyond echoed the
neigh Of horse; and ere Evans quick

Instantly the girl wheeled her horse,
trotting rapidly between trees for the

guided by the neigh. Once she turned,
crying:

Cheating British Recruits.

The British war department has been
complaining for years Of great difficult
ties in keeping the battalions Of the
army at full strength because recruit
ing was going on slower than ever be-
fore. The reasons Of the falling of
were made plain by evidence given be-
fore the parliamentary committee. Re-
cr7uits arc promised good meals and
clothing free, and quarter OF dollar
pay clear day. But the meals were
said to be 30 bad and scanty that they
could not live on them and the clothing
was insufficient That Is why young
men refuse 10 enter the army and re-
cruiting Is falling of. Yet the cost Of .
soldier 10 the British taxpayer Is much
greater than the cost In any other state
Of Europe.

RLAINE,s REAsON.

Some Of our enterprising esteemed
contemporaries yesterday published al
legged interviews with Mr.. BLAINE as to
his reason for resigning as Secretary OF
State. Among them was the Pittsburg
Dispatch, which showed remarkable en-
terprise therein, since Mr.. BLAINE was
was not interviewed at all except so far
as TO decline to say a word on the sub
ject for publication.
The complete dispatches in the Sun
DAY REGISTER gave the clue to the sit
nation and furnished all she informa-
ton there was to be had on the subject.
As the REGISTER stated yesterday on
a guess, Mr.. BLAINE's reasons for sew
erlng his connection with the admins
tration were purely personal. The cat
and dog fight between the friends OF
BLAINE and HARRISON could not result
otherwise In view of the Presidents
character and the bitterness Of the
fight, than in strained relations be-
tween them and their families,
which it was mutually agreeable to
sever altogether. Were there any
other cause for his action Mr.. BLAINE
certainly would have no reason or desire
% withhold il.
In short, Mr.. BLAINE has stood the
petty little man in the White House
lust as long as he could. He has sim
ply been forced out of the Cabinet by
the insults and arrogance Of HARRISON
and his partisans. The relations be-
tween the President and his Secretary
of State have never been anything but
Earring. They have disagreed on
almost all important public questions,
from the tariff to the Chilean controv-
ersy, Mr.. BLAINE's popularity in his
party has clashed with Mr.. HARRIsoN's
political interests and chafed aud CALLED
his pride, and the present open and
deadly warfare between their friends
has capped the climax and has simply
rendered further intercourse between
them impossible.
Democrats can view the situation
with complacency. Mr.. BLAINE can
not now accept the nomination without
stultiiying and lowering himself in the
estimation Of his most sincere admirers
and inviting certain and overwhelming
defeat, while his resignation, plainly in
disgust with the President, has exposed
that smaJl-miuded aud selfish politician
i'm an unique way, which, though it will
probably not prevent his nomination,
will further weaken his already ire
parably weak chances of reelection.

Arrangements Completed for the Meeting
and tie Parade.


The committee of the loca. division OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, hav-
ing in charge the arrangements for the
State Convention which meets in this
city next week, held meeting yeSter-
day afternoon. The original date fixed
for the convention was again changed.
The committee decided to have the
State parade and outing at the
park on next Monday, and the
Convention will meet on following Tues
day and Wednesday. On Tuesday
morning Rev. Father McEIiigott, chap
lain of the local Division will celebrate
high mass at ST. Joseph's Cathedral,
and an address of welcome will be de-
livered by Rt. Rev. Bishop j. j. Kahn.
All the Catholic clergy in Wheeling and
vicinity have been invited 10 be present.
Final arrangements were made for
the parade on Monday morning. a de-
tail of police will march at the head Of
the column. Organizations will be IN
line from all sections OF the State, aud
from neighboring towns. The Opera
House band and the Heatherington
band, OF Bellaire, have been engaged,
ard there will be plenty Of music. The
Benwood Division will come up fifty
three strong with their own band, and
the Polish Society Of the Church OF the
Immaculate Conception will have a
band.

The years that have passed since she

Her voice and manner and the vivacity
so distinctive of her nation, were still
the same, and but that her graceful fig
ure had assumed more matronly proper

months had elapsed since she left us.
