The barge Otter, from Houston, had 1550 sacks of
oil cake.
The steamship City of Norfolk arrived frem Tu-
dianola at 6 a. m. with a. cargo, including 300 ^iales
at cotton for this port. Tho Citv nf Norfolk loft
for Morgan Cicv at 9:30 a. in Shu is t :> lio up for ,-e-
Eairs at New Orleans, and the St. Mary will talie
er place in the line. The latter vessel is expected
to arrive here to-morrow.
Tho brie Merritt is loading cotton at Brio.- v.-harf.
The schooner Helsne arrived from Lji-ashcur,
La with 2d JO cross ties for the Santa ie. f.ie
schooner Mary E. Clark is on her way from the
same place to this port, and lumber laden.
The steamship Empress, 25 days out from Genoa,
arrived in ballast. The Empress is at Ivuliti wharl,
and will load with cotton ac soon as practicable.
This is the second visit of the Lmpress to Gaiv'»
tea. at least so stated by one of her o&cers. Xlei
capac'ty is between 5GOO and C000 bales. She will
take part of her cargo outside of the bar.
The steamship Australian, which is anchored off
the bar, has uot yet done nnything in the way of
loading. The tug Ivy was out alongside of her
yesterday, but the resident state health officer
stated yesterday, per telephone, that there had
been no communication with the ship. It has al-
readv been stated that the captain and a lady pas-
senger on the Australian, after remaining the pre-
scribed time at die quarantine station, had been
allowed to come ashore.
It is said in reliable qxiarters that a bark from
Yera Cruz, with Mexican goods, which rod© out
the prescribed quarantine Hi Ship island, is looked
for at this port. Her arrival was expected yester-
day, but she had not anchored in these waters up
to a late hour in tho evening.
Late last evening a sensational report gained cir-
culation of the alleged loss of tiie schooner Frank-
lin. which sailed from New York for Galveston on
August 6, witii a CArgo including goods and mer-
chandise for merchants in this city. On tracing the
rumor, it was found that Messrs. Quin & Co.. agents
of the Franklin in this city, had not been advised
of any mishap to the vessel, and knew nothing
whatever of the matter. It was stated, however,
that a telegram hv«d been received from >ew York
shippers by the Franklin by a firm in Tremont
street, referring to the loss of the vessel, aud ask-
ing if. in consequence, they should duplicate ship-
ments. This is all that could be learned on the
subject.
Aii that can be said with certainty in reference
to the Franklin, is that she is overdue.
The bark Prima, for sometime past at Kuhn
wharf, cleared yesterday for Dantzic, with 1730
saaks oil cake, valued at $3400, and 4480 sacks oil
cake meal, valued at $8000.
The steamship Guadalupe was loading cotton
yesterday. It is undei'Stood the customary protest
against salvage in the grounding business was
made and the whole matter will take the usual
course. The Guadalupe will sail as soon as her
cargo is complete, and may possibly leave this
forenoon. ^
Trc-mont Opera-House.
The CI mer company opened the Tremont opera-
house Idst night, presenting the border play '49,
with Lizzie May Timer in the character of Carrots,
There was a large audienece to grert the play and
the players, and there was applause throughout,
given with liberal hand, whenever good acting was
shown, or clever turns of comedy were made.
Tne play is not the best that has
been presented. nor is the company
without blemishes or defects. As a picture of bor-
der life, those who know of the days of the Califor-
nia gold fever can tell whether it is tiueornot.
The majority of the audience will un.;te in saying,
however, that Mi. s Ulmer, in the character of Car-
rots, grasps an r drnirable conception of the part,
and executes it with a clearness and force that
must he commended. Her strong acting saved
mat y breaks in the pla> that would with a weaker
Carrots have been brought o it in prominence. Mr.
Frank Tannehil. as '40, rives a good rendition of
li e p at. Mr. (reorge Ulmer, as Colonel Janes:
Mr. E. r Grand!n, as' the General; Mr. Young, as
"Lawy, i and Mr. Dudley, as Old Ned, are oil
good leaf.ires of the cast. 3Ir. Clark, asTom Brad-
shaw. does not impress one favorably with his con-
eeption of the role he uudertakes, and Miss Moore,
as 'Jelie, is by no means clever. The play, on the
whole, was enjoyable to the audience and this even-
ing will doubtiess craw another good-si-sedaudience.

ty Organization.
[Special Telegram to The News.]
Huntsville, September 26.—To encourage good
reading and oratory Hon. B. M. Baker, secretary of
the State Board of Education, proposes to present a
handsome gold medal to the student of the Sam
Houston Normal institute reaching tho high-
est excellence. The offer has been accept
cd, and a hearty vote of thanks tendered
the generous donor. Mr. Baker says: I look
for more good to the public school interests
of Texas from the Sam Houston Normal institute
than from any other source. The present class
seems to have been selected with more than usual
care. The 200 students represent every section of
Texas and would do honor to any State. The ex-
tension of the course of study to three
years and permitting State students to attend
two sessions 'are immense advantages. The
appropriated bv the legislature for a library,and the
S-3'.xX) for apparatus, will largely increase the facili-
ties for efficient work. The new assembly hall is
expected to be ready for u=.e in November. vVith
these additional advantages the fifth annual session
of the Sam Houston Normal institute promises to
be 50 per cent, more efficient than any previous ses-
sion.

vass the county. The sum of $110 was raised, with

Jefferson, September 26 —Considerable excite-

delivered a lecture in Texarkaua for the
benefit of the Catholic church, and in this city

New Orleans, September 2C.—The great strike of
cotton-handlers, two years ago, resulted in a com-
promise tariff. The rate then adopted has pre-
vailed ever since, aud all the various branches of
cotton-handlers here have siuce received the com-
pensation then stipulated for, except the weighers.
As a result of the strike, in many instances, the old
weighers were replaced by factors' clerks,
who worked on salary, and not at the
rate per bale fixed by the tariff.
Nearly all of the new weighers have been induced
to join the Weighers association, but some of them
still work on a salary or at a reduce ! rate per bale.
They have just been notified that after October 1
they must demand the tariff rate. anJ, if it is not
conceded by the employers, they are required to
quit work, and no other member of the association
will be allowed to accept a position thus vacated.
It is understood that all branches of the cotton
handlers are iu sympathy with the iesolution
adopted by the weighers, and will back them even
to the exteut of refusing to handle cotton weighed
by otherf than members of the Weighers associa-
tion. The probabilities ate that the few factors
who employ weighers on salary will be compelled
to yield, and no trouble will follow the demand of
the weighers.

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.
Proceedings of the State Convention-*
Scenes of Continual Wrangling-*
SprinGpield. Ma«s., September 26.—At 12:15
o'clock Jonas H. French, chairman of the State
Committee, called the Democratic convention to
order, and Colonel Coveney, secretary, read the
call. Widle the call was being read J. W. Candler
rose and addressed the pre-i ling officer, but was
not recognized. He remained standing until Colonel
Coveney finished. As Colonel Coveney ceased read-
ing, N A. Plymptou, of Worcester, rose and ad
dressed the chair. Candler insisted upon his right
to be heard, but French decided Plympton had the
floor. This was greeted with hisses in several parts
of the hall, and for a second there waa quite a com-
motion Plympton then moved that the officers of the
State Committee be the temporary organization of
convention. This motion was declared carried,
but was doubted, and an uproar ensued, which was
promptly . becked by French, who called upon Rev.
M. Simms to offer praj er.
At the conclusion of prayer French addressed
th*1 convention. He gp »ke at some length ou na-
tional affairs, reviewed tli» recent ad iress of the
Republican State convention: referred to the ad-
ministration of Governor Butler in the highest
terms, detailing important events that hava oc-
curred in the pas: year and predicted a gr^affvic-
tory for tne Democratic party throughout the
country.
On conclusion of French's speech there was gen-
erous applause. Various committees were then
announced.
Thayer, of Worcester, mefced the appointment of
a committee to nominate fifteen members of the
State Central committee.
Thomas J. Gargan, of Boston, claimed that he
had the floor before Tha\-er. but French decided
ihat Thayer had the floor [Cries of shame.] Af-
ter the motion being put the chair recognized Gar-
gan, who said: There exists an idea iu this conven-
tion that the State committee desiies tc perpetuate
itself. The action of the presiding officer thus far
has not been in accordance with the usages of
Democratic conventions. Let us have a com in ttee
made by the convention and not by the omtuittee
itself. I move that the delegates ft'om each counts-
select one name and they shall constitute a com-
mittee to nominate the State committee.
John J. Caffey, of Boston, seconded I he motion
and said: I am opposed t.o th's cut-and-dried work;
opposed to the list with which the convention had no
more to do than had the Republican State conven-
tion. This has been ca!l*-d Butler's convent on.
but M it not be said anybody but the convention
itself runs this convention.
Thayer, of Worcester -iairt he expected this out-
hre 'U. but those who favored it were in the minori-
ty and would be overruled.
Power, of SpriugfieM. was recognized by the
chair, but Coffev ns -ted on being ht-ard on a
point of order, Thechaii wo*ild not sr^n to Cof-
fey, and there was a sc-nt of great ec nf us. m
Quiet having been r stored to some extent. Power
was allowed to speak, and moved the previous
question.
Gargan again obtained the floor, but there were
loud and repeated cries of " question," "question."
and the noise became so "deafening Gargan could
nu longer oe heard.
.T. H Meden attempted to bpeak Several dele-
gales shook their fists at him and he rushed to the
platform an f demanded to be beard but wa - seized
by several an l forced to take a seat Thayer's
motion .? r . , ieJ. The Committee on Or-
gani:: - .Lii .. ua. ine nane Oi Edward Averv for
pen ^nent chairman. Avery then addressed the
eon* aition.
P. a, ' I'' - p nluated Butler, and Wm. A. Sim-
mons, i-i the <ynir-.e of his speech seconding the
nomina The blue blood and cava'ier
must go do vu. The gentleman who presided over
the Republican State convention is oiie of the es
thetic representatives of Beacon Hill, aud his
course there illustrates how e isy it Is to descend
from the position of a gentleman lo that of a black-
guard.
Butler was nominated by acclamation.
Tbe committee appointci* to uominate the re
mainder of the State ticket reported as follow:
Lieut#uant governor. Freuenck O Priuce; secre-
tary of sidie Charles Marke. treasurer and re-
ceiver,General Cavity H. Ingalls; attorney-general,
John W. Cummings; audito: , John Hopkins.
The committee on resolutions reported as
follows:
I he Democrats of Massachusetts, in convention
assembled, enter upon tbe campaign with the
calm assurance that the people of the Mate will re-
cord a more glorious victory than that of 18S2. The
national outlook for 1SS4 is cause for congratulation
and signs of the coming triumph are every where
apparent. With a majority in the lower house of
Cnngress. with Democratic governors in twenty-
live States, all we need is harmony and an un-
broken front in every section to again place in
power that good old Democratic party, under
k*wbieh for more than half a century the country
showed a degree of progress such as has never
been equaled oy any nation iu the world.
First—We reafiirra the platform of principles
adopted bv the last National Democratic conven-
tion at Cincinnati, and believe that their adoption
!»y the people will correct mauifctd abuses now ex-
isting in the administration of public affairs, and
i-nng back tiie government to the puriiy and effi-
ciency which eiiafauierized it under Democratic
rule.
Second—We reaffirm the principles of th ? State
platform of 1S82. which were indorsed by the peo-
ple of the commonwealth. We believe iu the
supremacy of the nation, and the integrity of the
State; in equal rights, without limitation of raec or
sex; impartial freed mi of the ballot; in tbe honest
and economic expenditure in the state and nation;
in a thorough reform of the civil service, in which
fitness, not favor, shall regulate appointments;
in a tariff limited in amount to the sum necessary
and ad equate for revenue: abolition of excessive
war laxes in these days of peace: in a still further
reduction of extravagant State expenditures; ..e
oppose all sumptuary' laws which infringe the
sacred rights of persoual liberty; favor the intro-
duction of a board of arbitration for the purp >se of
reconciling differences between employer and em
ployed. In order that a better understanding may
exist between capital and labor, and a more health-
ful condition of the industrial interests of the State
be brought about, and we commend to the careful
consideration of the legislature the necessity of a
lav,- which will secure to all employes compensa-
tion from their employers for any personal injuries
they may receive while in the discharge of their
duties.
Third—The investigation of affairs at Tewksbury
has disclosed incompetent supervision exercised
over that institution; want of a proper system in
accounting for public money appropriated for its
support, and indifference to human sufferings.
Fourth—Is devoted to the Tewksbury affairs, and
after reciting the abuses developed therein, ap-
proves of the energy and perseverance shown by
t he governor to prevent waste and secure economy
in State institutions.
Fifth—Commends General Butler to the people
of the State as the only voluut ier soldier ever
elected governor of Massachusetts, and urges his
reflection.
Sixth—Commends nominees for State offices.
While the resolutions v.-ere being read the pre-
sence of Governor Butler was announced ani the
convention rose and cheered him as he was escort-
ed lo the platform. After the applause had sub-
sided he addressed tbe convention. He said the
people of the commonwealth aud all who were in
favor of reform and good government had ratified
the nominations of last year. It now remained for
him to give an account of his stewardship He had
made recommendations to the past legislature.
One of his recommendations was to protect pas-
sengers on railroad trains from murderous ob-
structions. As it was a recommendation of course
ic did not pass. Another notable case was the re-
fusal to remove constitutional inhibition on free
suffrage and poll tax. He asserted the great Re-
publican party with which he had acted
in good faith, in giving free suffrage to
the negroes of the South, refused the same
boon to the white men at the North. Many meas-
ures pass 'd by the iegisiar.ure were so defective in
form th'-y did not even expr -ss what their fraroers
meant to express, and ten '"iioes over it was neces-
sary to thn .•!« :irtn »•:; of th- committee which pre-
pired them, iu or er : > have them put into proper
form, w uca wa- d i.e. ii stead of vetoing th*-m
Thirteen bills were veto.- i. « ne of w id-li was so
bad only four Repub'icans coul i be found to vote
for its passage over the veto. Among the rest, one
only—that to pay in reased salaries to clerks and
the sergeant-at arms—was passed over tiie veto,
The 1 gislature pas<e.l, in ail its sessions, no
single measure of public importance, except the
annual tax bill and annual aporopriations.
General Bugler, professing to feel no anxiety for
his own election, begged his hearers to send him
legislators this time who would have minds of their
own, and not have to run to the Republican St ite
Central Committee before making up their minds
on any topic.
Mr. Butler reviewed approvingly all his acts as
governor, and continued: The Republican papers
say General Butler must go, but he is satisfied to
risk his chances of going to h*»aven on this issue,
and is willing to rest his case with the rigbt feeling
men and women of this commonwealth.
If the people of the commonwealth wouid
show him a man who could lionorablv
and with energy carry on the work of reform ih
state institutions ; diminish the tax ; stand
ud for the poor, who have no other fneuds,
and be true to himself, to God and to
the commonwealth, he would step down
and yield him room with more pleasure than
had ever attended any other act of his ufe. Next
year we will attend to matters outside and if we
are faithful ove: a few things the Bible tells we shall
be placed over many. If we do our duty we cau show
that this country is what our fathers made it—
the model commonwealth of'the world. We will
make her what she was wlien Webster said: "There
stands Massachusetts, look at her." If anybody
should say that to-day, I fear somebody would
reply: " And there stand Tewksbury, look at her. "
I want to wipe out all that and all other disgraces.
Tbe governor's speech closed with the remark
that he left his reputation with the plain people of
Massachus tts.
Fifteen members of the State Committee were
appointed, and the convention adjourned.

14 How did you ever come to devise this scheme?"
" I have been working at it ever since I was large
enough to bend a pin."
The above remark was addressed to Mr. Setb
Green, the veteran fish culturist who is known to
the entire world, and his reply indicates the extent
of his labors.
"When I was quite young." he continued.44 x
would lie on the limbs of trees that reached out
over the wafer entire afternoons watching the
movements of tbe fish and studying tbeir habits.
In this? way I discovered many characteristics
which were before unknown. I saw, as every ob-
server must see. th-^ de>tructive elements that are
warring against fish, and I realized that unless
something were done the life in the streams of thit
country would become extinct. To counteract this
disastrous end became my life work, and I ant
happy to .-ay I have seen iis accomplishment."
" Were you successful on the start?"
"No, indeed, rp to that time all artificial at-
tempts to hatch and raise fish rrom the spawn had
failed, and I was compelled to experiment in an
entirely new mauner. The work was a careful and
tedious one, but I finally succeeded, and to-day i
am able to natch and raise fully 75 per cent of all
spawn."
"Enormous! Why, that is a larger percentage
than either J he vegetable or animal kingdom pro-
duces in a ua'ural condi*ion."'
" I know it. but we exercise the greatest care in
the start, and guard the little fellows until they be-
come an e to care for themselves."
The foregoing conversation occurred at Cale-
donia, wli-re the representative of this paper was
paying a vjfc.it to t o state fu»h hatcheries. It has
been his privilege to report very many interesting
sigh's within the past twenty-five years, but the

" How many fisa are there in those ponds. Mr,

... A® we have never attempted to count them, it

into the millions, though. We shipped over threa
millions out of the ponds this year, and there seem-

Important Holing- to the uew Tariff.
W ashingtox, September 20.—Secretary Folger
has ju-t rendered an important decision with re-
gard to the construction of the December 7 new
tariff law relating to packages and coverings of
imported merchandise. He holds that the cost or
value outside the covering into which goods are
finally put up for land or any kind of carriage is
not to be taken for part or :'n addition to the value
of goods, nor is the value of the goods to be con-
sidered as enhanced by the reason that the outside
covering having been put about them, with cost to
the manufacturer and wholesale foreign dealeis of
boxes, cartoons, or other things which are put
within or upon ««r about goods by him, as part of
his preparation of them for exposure to sale, is not
to be inquired for as an arbitrary part of the mar
ket value, and i.iat the cost iu exact amount added
to au already ascertained value of goods as part of
the dutiable value thereof, though that
cost, may be an element in the evidence
of what is the value of the goods, and may so far
be considered the dutiable value of the goods as
not to be the market value which they would have
if they were offered for sale without them or the
preparation of the inner ooxes, cartons or other
like things. The dutiable value of goods is the
actual market value or wholesale prices were they
in a condition to finish and the preparation for sale
in which they are finally offered by foreign mer-
chants to negotiating customers, and for which
chey will and do sell them, though that value or
price will be enhanced because of that finish or
preparation, and though a part of the preparation
consists in placing in or upon or about goods,
boxes, cartons, paper, cards or other like things.

$7.0>o,d00, enough to pay its fixed charges and re-
deem half a million car-trust bonds. No new stock
> ould be issued or needed. Not over a million dol-
lars will be required to put the road in first-class
condition. This money has been secured and will
be used to put the road in thorough repair, in
widening cuts, in building protections against land
slides which seriously inconvenienced th * road lie
past spring, substituting iron bridges and in similar
ways.
Question—Will you make anv changes in the
personuel of the company's officers? •
Answer—That I can not now say. b * I sh^.ll
place at the head of every department the very
strongest man 1 can get for the position. I shall
pursue a policy of vigorous progr ess, and leave no
stone unturned to make the »oad justify all the
hopes of its backers.

Boston*, Sey :cmber 26.—Ex-Governor Talbot,
chairuiau of the State Board of Health and Chari-
ty, under date of the wist instant, writing Governor
Butler, stating the lati.v's demand for certain cash
books aud the ledger , elating to the accounts of
superintendent of outdoor poor had been referred
to him and he <Tn!bot) declines to give them be-
cause the govern ,r has no legal authority to de-
mand them Taibot also requests the return of ten
books of records of the ooard. of which the gov-
ernor got possession of Fome time a^o and
has since had several persons examining,
lalbot protests against such an ex parte
investigation. The superintendent of the out-
door poor should have an opportunity
for explanation of his accounts, and {the board is
disposed to encourage any investigation necessary.
In fact, the governor never replied to the request
made of him by the board last June, that he should
present specifying charges of misconduct of any
of the oftic -rs of the board. The board istheproi
body to investigate all charges, and any other
method of procedure is unwarranted by law, in
violation of the proprieties of official life and unjust
to officers, whose conduct may be called in question.

being very nearly destroyed tbe farm
ers are tardy in disposing of their
cotton seed, aud if the winter
is any way severe it will be rough on stock
cattle. There is very little grass outside the
pastures. A Mr. Williams, a Northern capi-
talist. has wired in near this place something
over 3000 acres, and is now supplying it with
?tock cattle. There are several other negotia-
tions for other large bodies of land, to be
devoted to the same purpose. We believe that
ere five years all of the piuey woods laud
that has heretofore been considered inferior
for farming purposes, will be wired in aud
converted into pastures. We see no reason
why it would not prove a payiug investment,
as the range both winter and summer is good.
If it should, we trust that it will not engender
the bitter feelings as in Western Texas.
$Tbe Methodists have been protracting a
meeting for very nearly two weeKs, under the
auspices of Rev. Philpot, presiding elder, and
our own highly accomplished pastor, Rev.
Barker. There was no great effusion or gush-
ing emotion displayed; but every one seemed
to have a halcyon calm of soul as regards the
great hereafter."
There will be a mass meeting held here to-
night for the purpose of receiving reports of
committees, appointed dt a prior meeting, to
solicit subscriptions to erect a large and com-
modious building for school purposes, and
from what your correspondent can gather, our
little city will within a short time have
an edifice erected that will be an or-
nament to the town and a credit
to the State for the purpose for which
it will be intended. We have at pn?»eut
a school of which we can justly boast, having
secured the service of Professor Cooper, for-
merly of Cold Springs and Fairfield, Texas.
Much can be done by individual effort, when
the teacher is competent and faithful; but in
no department cau it be said with greater
truthfulness, iu union there is strength, than
in that of education. We have the material
for a graded school not to be surpassed in the
State. Our teacher and his corps of assist-
ants are qualified by education and experience
to conduct a system of schools including all
the branches, from the lowest to the highest;
and if the patrons will assist, we will have a
school here which will draw students from
abroad, and give our town an impetus more
lasting than the county site, or any railroad
extension that we could secure. Dunbar.

oilities of development in the fish world are great,
and we are rautaly ascertaining what tney are."
As the man of u"v\s watched tiie countenauce ot
Mr. Green while he was giving the above account,
he could not but feel t::at he was in the presence of
one of the few investigators who. from a rich and
life long experience, bring great benefit to the
won '. Lt-t the reader imagine a strong and stal<
wart frame, surmounted by a head strongly re-
sembling that of Socrates, and covered with a white
silky beard and luxuriant gray hair. Seth Green,
the father of fish culture, is a picture of health,
and the reporter could not helo remarking so.
" If you had seen me tbe last winter and spring,
young man. you mi^ht have thought differently,*'
said the veteran.
" How is ihat? One would think, to look at you,
that sickness was something oi which you knew
nothing."
And so it was until last winter. I went down
into Florida in the fall to see what kind of fish thty
hail in that State and study th^ir habits, and was at-
tacked with malaria ::i its severest form, and when
I came home I real .zed for the lirst time in my life,
that I was sick My symptoms were terrible. I h;.d
dull, aching pains in my head, limbs and aroun.1
my back. My appetite was wholly gone, and I feit
a lack of euer_'j, such as I had often heard de-
scribed. but bad never experienced. Any one who
has ever had a severe attack of malaria cau appre-
ciate h»y condition. I went to bed and remaino-1
there all tiie spring, and if there ever was a sick
man I was the one."
It seems hardly possible. How did you come to
recover so completely? "
iy brother, who had been afflicted by a severo
kidnev trouble, and threatened with Blight's dis-
ease. was completely cured by a remedy in which I
liai great confidence. I therefore tried the same
rem- dy for my malaria, and am happy to say I am
a well mat! to-uay, and through the "instrumentality
of Warner's > Cure, which I believe to be one
cf the most valuable of medicines. Indeed, I see
it is indorsed by tb^ United States medical college
of New York, and that Dr. Gunn. dean of that in-
stitution, has written a long article concerning its
value,"
" And are you now as well as formerly?"
" Apparently so. 1 keep the remedy on hand all
the while, though, and do not hesitate to recom-
mend it to others."
'* One question more. How many ponds of fish
have you here, and how are they divided ? "
" Well, we have 4-'{ ponds which are divided up aq
follows: 22 ponds of brook trout, 2poods of salmon
trout. 4 of McCloud river or rainbow trout. 2 ponds
of German trout. 3 of California mountain trout. 2
ponds of hybrids. 4 of one-quarter salmon and
three-quart - rs brook trout. 2 ponds of gold fish, and
1 pond of carp. Then we have what we call the
centennial pond or 'happy family," consisting of
crosses of different fish, including Kennebec salmon.
Land Locked salmon. California salmon, brook
trout, salmon trout and hybrids. These fish range-
in size from minnows to 18 pounders, and in age
from one and one-half months to eleven years. I
forgot to say. also, thai we have a * hospital' pond,
which is entirely empty, which speaks pretty well
for a community of many millions. Indeed the
whole secret of fish culture can be summed up in
four things: Impregnation—using no water. Plenty
of food. Plenty of pure water and cleanliness."
The numerous fish exhibitions which are taking
place in all parts of Europe and the unusual inter-
est . which is being manifested in this juihjee*
throughout th? world all owe their origin to the
process above described as originated and con-
ducted by Seth Green. It is certainlv cause for
congratulation to every American that this country
produces so many men whose genius brings value
to the world, and it is proof positive of the greatest
merit that a remedy even with such high standing
as Warner's S ife Cure is known to have should b^
so strongly indorsed and recommended by one sa
reputable and reliable as Seth Crre*m.
