Srec.ai to Times Republican.
Clinton, May % The German carp
which was introduced into the Mississ-
ippi river few yea rs ago, and which
seemed to multiply so rapidly at first,
is rapidly becoming extinct. This is
agreeable news to the nimrod, as the
carp Is not a game fish. its food is not
wholesome and 1t is destroyer of game
fish. The carp has been supplanted by
the buffalo, and the general opinion is
that the former is interbreeding with
the latter and is rapidly becoming as
simulated. This is proven by the fact
that few years ago 1t did not take a
fisherman to distinguish a carp from
a buffalo. There was vast difference
in appearance. and color, but now, even
the Oldest fishermen are puzzled to tell
the difference between a carp and n
buffalo, such as are found in the Mis-
sissipIi and tributaries today. They
all look like the buffalo.
BY nature the carp is sluggish fish.
preferi'ing dead water and lakes. How
ever, when placed in the western riv-
ers, where 1t had to fight it's way
against swift waters. and secure its
food the same way as the game fish,
it became more active and took on the
habits of the buffalo. The habits of the
fish being similar and there not being
much difference in their size, they soon
commenced to interbreed, and the buff
falo being the stronger and more active
in every particular, promises to COM
pletely rob the carp Of its identity. Pre-
dictions are that within few years
there will be no carp to speak of in the
Mississippi, while the buffalo will have
increased many fold.
The introduction Of the carp into our
western rivers was blunder Of man,

and the name is no misnomer, judging
from it's appearance. 1t is built on
pilng and is constructed of drift wood
and pieces of wrecked boats. Or each
of the four corners are steeples, tower
ing far above the rude roof. The
building is three stories in height, the
two upper floors being reached by
means of ladders. The interior is di-
vided into numerous rooms, uniform
ly arranged The house is large
enough to accommodate two or three
families. At no time of the year is
there a stove in the building and when
the thermometer begins to hover around
the zero point, the old Hermit seeks
the friendly shelter of a cave, where
he made his home before he constructed
his rude house.
That there is some deep mystery con-
nected with the life of this strange
hermit of the Mississippi. no one has
any doubt who has known him for any
length of time. altho he has but little
to say and will not talk of his past
life, which has always been shrouded
in mystery 1t is said that when he
first landed in the vicinity, he was
we'll dressed and appeared to be a man
of considerable refinement. Immediate
ly he isolated himself from mankind
and soon adopted habits but little above
those OF the aboriginies and each year
he has grown more barbaric in his man
ner of living
