The blissful message of love and peace,

The Fish Experiment
The artificial reproduction and cultiva
tion of fish, has for some time been prac
ticed in parts, of Europe- In France it is
now carried on to considerable extent, and
the produce of some of the streams and
ponds, yield large profits. The subject is
now attracting some attention in the Uni
ted States. The New York State Agricul
tural Society, in their last premium list
Save offered a prize of 8100 for the Host
essay on the “Production and Preserva
tion of Domestic Fish for Ponds.”
Garlick and Ackley, known as distin
guished surgeons of Cleveland, Ohio, were
SbrHsiieve, to introduce the arti
ficial spawning and of fish
in the United States. Dr. Garlick be
ing an enthusiastic amateur in this line,
commenced the business in connection
with his associate, Dr. Ackley, upon the
farm of the latter, two or three years ago.
They made sevoral trips to Lake Superior
and Fort Stanley, in Canada, to procure
tront for stocking their streams and in eve
ry instance were successful except the first,
when they lost a large number of fish in
transportation.
After this, with personal attention, they
found that by reducing the temperature of
the water in the vessels containing the
fish, to 32 degrees, by the . application of
ice, the respiration and circulation in fish
was so reduced that they experienced no
difficulty in transporting them any dis
tance with .perfect success. In this wav
they have procured at different times, 150
full grown trout.
Feeling an interest in the success of this
enterprise, and while visiting Cleveland a
short time since, we called on Drs. Garlick
and Ackley, who very kindly conveyed ns
to the farm and fish nursery, situated about
three miles from the city. The farm con
tains about 100 acres; through the timber
ed portion of it runs a ravine, abundantly
supplied with never failing streams of wa
ter. Across this ravine, dams have been
built so as to form three pe.nds, connected
by sluiceways between. In the upper
pond the young trout are confined by net
ting across the sluice. The socmid ponds
are destined for the fish after they have
become so large as to be able to protect
themselves from the ferocious appetite of
the elder fish of their race.
At the head of a large spring,.and near
the upper pond, is situated the hatching
house. In this house is a tank four feet
wide by eight feet long and two feet deep.
The water is received from the spring into
this tank, aud is discharged from a pipe
near the top into the hatchiug boxes, ten in
number, and so arranged that the first is
higher in the series than the last, so that
there is a constant stream of water passing
from the tank above, through the two
hatching boxes. In this tank we saw the
old pet fish, “Naiad Queen ” the prolific
mother of thousands, ller mate “Trylonf
like his sex sometimes in other neparc
uients of animated nature, had become
somewhat unruly, and bgd been assigned
his abode, for the time being, in one of the
ponds with the family at large. Our
friends have so educated and trained the
old queen that she has become as tame as
b pet chicken, and ate minnows from our
fingers readily.. This fish was taken from
the fouk and placed*in a pan for our in-
spection. She is like all of this family,
truly beautiful. She measures about sev
enteen inches in length. Her weight we
now forget, but with careful feeding can
‘be’ iTicreased wllfr ing ‘Ykpidity —.
We were presented by the gentlemanly
proprietors with a most beautiful engrav
ing of her. Y:
It is the intention of these gentlemen to
have some of the old and a number of the
young fish on exhibition at the Ohio Stete
Fair the coming fall. The display of do
usee£icated Salmon and Trout, it is said, f
constituted a most interesting feature at
the great National Exhibition recently
closed in France.
j)r. Garlick is now engaged in writing a I
series of articles on the “Artificial Rcpro* j
duction of Fish,” which appear in the
Ohio Farmer. They will finally be pub
lished in book form, and will, no doubt,
,prove of immense value to farmers and
others who now own streams and ponds in
this country. -
In every State ru the Union, and in al
most every country, there are mtmerious
springs and streams that- with compara
tive little labor, may lie turned to protita
ble account for the production of fish.
Where brisk, cool springs are riot tt> be
found suited for trout, ponds exist adapt
ed to various other kinds of fish that de
light in such water. In a day’s ride thro 1
some sections of the country, we have fre
quently met with a dozen springs and
streams that might be employed in this
way. In France, and other countries of
Europe, not only trout and many other
kinds of still-water fish cirequopagatod to
a great extent, but salmon by thousands
Yte our
country, but more’ particularly near the
Northern Pacific coasts, numerous places
abound most admirably adapted to sal
mon. It is said that a thousand pounds of
fish in proper places can be produced at a
tithe of the cost of raising an equal quan
tity of meat.— Louisville (Ay.) Courier.
Constantinople Becoming French.
A correspondent of the Journal of Com
mcrce, residing in Constantinople, thus
writes of the gradual change which is tak
ing place in the government of the city ;
“Constantinople is gradually changing
hands, and the rule of the Mali om tried an is
yielding to the effrontery of the Frank.—
Everything tends to prove that the days
of Ishliamism are over, and that the
French will somrH’orm a Paris on the sides
of the Golden Horn. Not long ago, the
French took possession “f the large and
beautiful Russian palace, one of the best
edifices in Pera, and hitherto held invio
late by the rngliah, The French for a
long time looked upon it with covetgous
eye, but were not prepared to use it; now,
however, they are so numerous here that
additional room is wanted for accommoda
tion, and the pretext was found for seizing
on the Russian Palace. Again, three or
four days ago, several guard houses in
Galata, were occupied by French soldiers,
and the Turks turned out into the open
street, not daring to open their lips in de
fence. The re son assigned was, that as
sutdi a number of outrages were commit
ted by the French and English sailors in
the neighbobood, pud as the Turks were
unable to preserve the peace, it was deem
ed necessary to use a more efficient author
ity, one with more force to back it.
•“And when we oonrider the matter in *
its most serious light, and view the sub
ject in all its bearings, wo must confess
that Constantinople would be a more pleas
ant residence, aud a greater mart of com
merce if the French retained possession of
it.
T am induced to believe that, in a cou
pie <>f years from this time wo will soe a
finoand noble city, rising like a Pcenix
from its ashes, on the site of the present.
Mighty changes convulsing both Europe
and America, may take place before then.
War Against Vice.
’ Revealed religion teaches patience nn
der suffei ing; but it is misunderstood when
it is supposed to inculcate quiet submis
sion to wrong. It requires men to war
against vice in themselves first, but also
in society. It is opposed to confusion,
and tends to hawubri y and order. To re
strict its sphere to individual improve
ment, is to leavd*to the Deist and Atheist
the higher sphere of general society.—
Humboldt regards mankind as “one great
brotherhood, advancing together toward
the attainment, of one common object, the
free development of their moral faculties.”
When men begin to .combine against
vice, and see that to repress immorality
by all lawful means, is to propagate that
religion which Jesus died to give us, when
it shall be a chief aim of society to con
vitiee every one of its members, riv all p>3-
sihle motives, that it is for his own best
interest and happiness to live by the law
of love t/j Go- 1 and mao ; then, and not.till
then, shall we see any great and perma
nent improvement in the social condition
of the wo ! ld; iho,t there will begin to be a
public conscience against vice; then men
will he judged, noT’by their success, but
by their merits. Then villainy will not be
triumphant, or triumphant villainy will
not be applauded.— Thompson's Christian
Theism.
Dr. Franklin’s only “Son.
While the name of Franklin haß been
so prominently before the public of late,
in connection with the celebration at Bos
ton, it may not be uninteresting to give
some account of his only son, Wiliiarn,
about whom we think little is known by
Uitr I”-cr? _ Tin like hi (SSL
tber, whose chief claim to veneration is for
the invaluable services he rendered his
ebuntry in her greatest need, the son was,
from first to last, a devoted loyalist. Be
fore the Revolutionary war he held sever
al civil and military offices of importance.
At the commencement of the war he held
the office of Governor of New Jersey,
winch appointment lie received in 1763.
When the difficulties between the moth
er country and the colonies were coming
to * crisis, he threw his whole influence in
favor of loyality, and endeavored to pre

The Alps seemed to grow taller.. Deep
masses of shade were projected from sum

and dashing torrent, and quiethamlet, all
retired from view, as if they wisfted to go
to sleep beneath the friendly shadows. A
deep and reverent silence stole- over the
Alps, as if the stillness of the firmament had
descended upon them. Over all nature was

a circlet of flaming peaks studs the horizon.
It looks as it a great conflagration were about

piles of cold, pale white, rise above you,—
You can scarce believe them to be the same

flash comes again. A flood of glory i oils
once more along their summit. It is a last
and mighty blaze. You feel as if it were a
struggle for life—as ff it were a war waged
by the spirits of darkness against these ce

darkness has prevailed. These mighty moun

and cold, ghastly piles, of sepulchral hue,
which you shiver to look up at, and which
remind you of the peak, rise still and calm

Deacon Todd—The Trash Rack.
Yon have all my brethren seen there
contrivances that the farmers fix where a
stream or branch passes through th< ir
plant ations, called “water gates” or “trash
r icks.” Now I think the practice of tell
ing experiences in our churches lias an ef
ftet rv similar. Watch that old log
that emnea drifting with the current, it
glides along on the rapid tide and seems to
be in a fair wgy to reach a certain destina
tion, but all at once it makes up full, but
against, tins trash raek, and there it lies
year after year but can never pass the trash
rack. .M
See the neighborhood when there is a
revival—religion is in full flood tide and
many an old out-sider feels like he would
be glad to be in the church now, religion is
so popular, and so he swings off into the
current and floats along with other drift
wood like himself, and is in a fair way of
drifting over into Bro* A’s, or B’s, or C’s
plantations when as soon as the tide falls
be will 1*? left high and dry, to lie there
until hrigfbfo, or to he cut up and piled,
sometimes a pretty bad piece of business,
as the cases of discipline in some of our
churches will testify.
But if Bro. A., 8., or C. has his tr isli
rack in good order, the old drift wood stops
full and short and never gets in.
In other words, and to drop the allegor
ical style, there’s many an individual who,
if it w;s But to walk up and give the min
ister his hand; or if it was only to whisper
a few words about “a hope” in the minis
ter’s ear, with the tacit understanding that
the minister would dress it up into a pret
ty respectable experience, or even to an
swer a few leading questions, would be
bold enough and would venture to come
forward and join the church. When if it
were done on the good old fashioned way
of telling in their Qum way and in their
own words the dealings of God with their
souls, they would pause and weigh the
matter; and even if they were kept back a
month or two, it would be no disadvantage
to themselves, and afar 6afer course to the
churches. ICHABOD TODD,

OPPKATE by tbeir power!nl influence on the internal vis
cera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy ac
tion. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver
and other organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular wc-’
tion to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements
as are the first causes of diseace. An extensive trial of their vir
tues, by Professovs, Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures ot
dangerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not substanti
ated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth. Their certificated are published in my
American Almanac, which the Agents below named are pleased to
furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions for their use in the complaints
which they have been found to cure.
Tor. CrWTlvatKSS.—Take one or two Pills, or such quantity a?, to
gently move the bowels. Costiveneas is frequently the ftggrnvn
tinweaurte of Pile**, aud thejaireof one complaint is the cure of
Doth. No per.,,-i a caii feel w.■ e. wr.iTe under r. costive hv-n ntriody.
Hence It should he, as il can be, promptly relieved.
Tor Dvspkpsia, which is sometimes the cause of Costiveuesg, and
always uncomfortable, take mild doses—from one to four—tortim
ulate the stomach an liver into healthy action. They wili do i:
and the heartburn, loti yh am and xoulbum of dyspepsia will rap
idly disappear. When it has gone, don’t forget wluit cured you.
Fora Fool Eiomacu, or Morbid Inaction o/tl.e Sotcclx, which
yrotiuceegeneral depression of the spirits and had health, take
from four to eight Pill's at first, ami smaller do?es afterwards, uu
til activity and strength is restored to the system.
For NEBVOrsjmse, ,-ilk Headacuk, Nauska, rain in the Slum
ach, Back, or Side, take from four to eight pills on going to bed.
If they do not operate sufficiently, take more the next day until
they do. These complaints will he swept out from the ystem.—
Don’t wear these and their kindred disorder? because your stom
ach is foul.
For ScnoruLA, Ebvbipklas, and all disease* of the Skin, take
the Pills freely and frequently, to keep the bowels open. The erup
tions will generally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by the purging ami
purifyhigiffihttai thete Pills, and snmejdisgastitig diseases which “
seemed to saturate the whale system hare c mpletily yielded to
their influence,leaving the sufferer in perfect health. Patients!
your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself
around the world covered with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and
all or auy of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your system
wants cleansing.
To Pukify thk Klood, they are the beet medicine ever discover
ed. They 3houMbe taken ireely and frequently, and the impuri
ties which sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of
the system like chaff before the wind. By this property they do as
much good in presenting sickness as by the remarkable cures
which they are making every where.
Liver Complaint, Japxwck, and ail Bilious Affections arise
from some derangement—either torpidity, congestion, or obstruc
tions of the Liver. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and
render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and
theconsjilution is frequently undermined by no other cause. In
digestion is the symptom. Obstruction of the duct which empties
the bile into the stomach causes Die bile to overflow into the blood.
This produces Jaundice, with a long and dangerous train of evil*.
Costiveness, or alternately costiveness and diarrhoea, prevails.—
Feverish syiuptons, languor, low spirits, weariness, restiessne-s,
and melancholy, with sometimes inability to sleep, and sometimes
great droweine.-s; sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the
skin and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow; the stom
ach acid; the bowels sole to the touch; the whole system irritable,
with a tendency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious
colic, bilious diarrhoea, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of three or
four Fills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning,
and repeated a few days, will remove the cause of all these trou
Ides. It Is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for
25 cents.
Rheumatism, Gout, a nd all Inflammatory Fi vers are rapidly
cured by the purifying effectsof these Fills upon the hiood and the
stimulus which they afford to the vital principle of Life. For these
and all kindred complaints they should be taken in mild doses, to
move the bowels gently, but freely.
Asa Dinner Pill, ttiis is both agreeable and useful. No Pill can
be made more pleasant to take, and certainly none iiai been made
more effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill is employed.

1. THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative.)
2. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig.) . .. -
8. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church.)
4. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
6. BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory.)
The great and important events—P.eligious, Political, and Mili
tary—now agitating the rations of the Old World, give to these .
Publications an inteiVst-and value they never before possessed.— ‘
They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news,
items, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the newspapers,
and the ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after the
living interest in the facts he records shall have passed away.—
The progress of the war iu the East occupies a large space in their
pages. Every movement is closely criticised, whether of friend or
roe, and all short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The leKefrfTGßi
the Crimea and from the Baltic, in Blackwood's Magazifie, from' - ’
two of its most popular contributors, give a more intelligible and
reliable account of the great belligerents than can elsewhere he
found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great political parties
of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, aud Radical,—but politics forms
only one feature of tlieir character. As Organs of the most pro
found writers on Science, Literature, Morality, and Religion, they
stand, as they have ever stood, unrivalled in the world of letters,
being considered indispensable to the scholar and the professions)
man, while to the intelligent reader of every class, they furnish a
more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of
the day, throughout the world, than can be possibly obtained from
any other source.
