Tho subject of tbe qualities, hah-

stocking southern ponds with them

Georgia is a goodly section of conn

en million square acres of territory.
It embraces a great variety of soil
and climate. Its productions admit
of almost infinite diversity. There is
no country in the world where a
greater vaiiety of fruits, vegetables
and farm products cun be grown.

to make mention of n visit I paid
tho pond of Mr. Abel A. Wright
on yesterday, iu company with a
gentleman who felt a great interest
in fish culture. Every one arouud
here has heard of the marvelous
things about these carp, and but
little attention bus been given the
matter, it being generally consid
ered greatly exagerated. But there
is no humbug about Mr. Abel
Wright’s fish, and having soon them

credulous, and it was not until a
few slices of bread hud been
thrown in tliat I saw what proved
ii most wonderful and interesting
sight. Great big beautiful fish
commenced to swarm to tho sur
face, and as tli? water was clear,,
they were distinctly visible. They
grabbed at the bread with a kind
of sucking noise, w.th tho mouth
entirely- out ot the water. Mr.
Wright informed us that this was
caused by their lack ot teeth in
the trout of their mouth, Carp that
varied in length from twelve inch-
es to two foot, were plentiful. They
looked the size of u man’s arm,
and probably weighed as high as
s x or eight pounds and uuder.
These ttsh were put in the pond
a little over one year ago, when
not over one or two inches long.
Their growth has boeu truly mar
velous, and it is a cerium fact
that Mr. Wright has struck a bo- 1
natiz*. This spring tire first spawn
were laid, and now tho pond is lit
erally alive with millions ot young
carp, from one-half inch to a pin’s
length in size. Iu a few weeks,
probably throe or four, these will
Imve grown large enough to slock
other ponds, and *»s Mr. Wright
Ims a hundred times more than fie
wants, they are for salo.
The German silver carp, import
ed direct from Germany, through
Commissioner Baird, arrived from
Washington two days ago, und
liuvc been placed with the others.
These last are much handsomer fish
than the carp already in the pond.
Of the silver ones there twenty-five
about six iuclies long. Mr. Wright
is to he commended for his enter
prise and it is my opinion he has
struck it big. A gentleman from
Cincinnati was >n the city yester
day and offered him two thousand
dollars cash for the pond as it
stands to-day. Ooe ot the chief
attractions of carp culture is that
they require no feeding artificially.
Mr. Wrtght informs me they thrive
on vegetable matter und seem to
want nothing else. Not long ago
lie put u largo quantity of New
York and Florida moss in the pond,
which the carp devoured with
great avid.ty. Not a vestige of
the moss is left now. I am prom
ised un eatanle carp iu u short
while, and when 1 smack my lips
over it. I’ll tell the Constitution

It has pleasing, lieulthful sites and
nainrsl advantages for the location
of hundreds of all classes of manu
factures, from the smallest* to the
greatest. Thanks to the spirit of
immigration, our ancestors sought
»«t this goodly Innd and peopled it.
If H be tight thul tne people of Geor
gin are here to duy, it is because itn
migration is right. It was thought
tube right during the 18«Ii century .
and here we are in the midst of
this smiling land of incomputable
rtsources. It has been a pleasing
thought to our people that Provi
dence directed the foots eps of our
lathers to this country. Why should
it be sought so? Because they lov
ed liberty ? Because they desired to
be free ? Because th.y were worthy
of freedom ? May be so. If that
were the case, will not the tame fact
hold good with reference to the thou
lands of landless and opressed peo
ple countries whence our an-
P? They love liberty,
they decile io be free, they are rts wor
thy of freedom as ourselves ; und
would seem just ns proper that they
and their de-cemlants should find it
in onr good old State, as that our
ancestors should have won it here, a
century ago. It will not do to arro-
gve ourselves over the other branoli
es of the great Cancusian family, or
to conclude, iu the spirit of utter
feliiffiuess und folly, that there is no
loom h ?re for the landless and home
less ones of Europe. There is room
enough in Georgia lor millions more
of people, and there are millions of
people—industrious, energetic peo-
p|p, that are needing the room. There
ate hundreds of landlers families in
Jturope that would rejoice at the
privilege ot buying little farms in
Georgia. Let them be encouraged
to come over and settle in onr good
old State, und aid us in developing
its unnumbered reaou ces. It would
be a blessing to them. The benefit
would be mutual. There is no rea
son—worth calling u reason, why
colonies of those |>eople should not
be encouraged to seek homes some
where within our broad boundaries,
that they may here find tbe libeity
and the prosperity that are denied
them under kingly rule. Taking n
view of the question solely from the
standpoint of self-interest, there is
every reuson why the earnest and in
telligent labors of Mr. Fontaine in
ibis behalf should meet the active
endorsement of our people, and tbe
material encouragement of our Leg
islature. Our labor supply is ex
ceedingly precarious, and it is be
coming more and more uncertain
every yeuf. The plantation system
is doomed. The demand of the times
is for smull farms and a greut muny
ol them, for u diversity iu the char
acter ol furm products, for iu increus e
in tlie capacity and variety of msnu
factoring industries ; and ao thought
lu 1 man can fail to see that, by hold
ing out inducements to industrious
settlers from the less favored sections
ol this country and Europe, we ren
der more certain und more speedy
the accomplishments of all these
ends, lu helping ullu-rs we help
ourselves. The tne of unselfishness
grows golden fruit.—The Ishmaelite.
Things Hard to Understand.
Why an endless procession of drin
kern Iroin a public kipper will, with

Why half the human race was not
born without hearing and the other
1 ulf without speech. Then the talk
ers might talk on in uninterrupted
flow, and the hearers, exeicise their
especial gift without their prescut
pruriency to speft.
Whv people will go into society to
get bored, when tney can get bored
just us well at home,
Why the young lady who will ea
gerly chew boarding house mince
pie will carefully eschew boarding
house mince meat.
Why a muu’s stoinaoh will he so
everlastingly tqaamiah at home, and
at the eatiag house display a faith
like a gram of mustard seed.
Why a woman will make excuses
lor her braid when she knows it, it
the best she ever made, aud know.)
her “company” knows it.
Why a “young gentleman” swears
so much louder and more oopionsly
when stranger ladies are within tar*
shot; or in other words,
Why the desire to make a fool of
one’s self springs eternal in Ihe hu
man breast.
Why we are so touch angrier
against him who shows ns error than
him who leads ot therin.
Why everybody is so prompt to an
swer, “Howdo yon do?” when you
ask that inevitable question. And,
Why yon teem to be perfectly sat
isfied with the information contained
in this echo.
Why one’s piety strengthens as hit
health weakens.
Why people will gel married whsa
courtship is so sweet.
Why a insu who claims to have
found marrying a delusion will again
embrace that delusion upon the first
omvenient opportunity.
Why cold weather comes dnring
the season when it is least agreeable.
Why it is so much easier to be
polite to people whom we shall prob
ably never see again than to those
whose good opinion we have reason
to cultivate.
Fasting lu a Woodpile.
Mr. Stephenson stopped us the oth
er day and told the following nura-
tive. lie suys lie hud an old lien on
his plantation thut seemed determin
ed to set on an empty nest, uud lie
failed to brake Iter from it until one
duy the children ran her off the nest
and tried to cutch her when she ran
wi ll considerable force and wedged
herself in a woodpile, she couldn’t
get out, neither could they get her
out. They saw nothing of her in a
week or so, aud concluded she hud
perished, when just 20 days from the
time she ran into the pile of wood,
she came out, looking as thin as u
race horse. He says she stuyed there
until she “shrunk” enough to extri
cate herself from (he grusp between
the wood.—(J >nyers Examiner.
A Vicksburg negro, who fell
from tho deck of u steamboat, the
other day and was sucked under
the coal barge, came up in time to
catch his breath before ho slid pit-
der a raft a mile long, and finally
scrambled ashore at Wurreutown,
about seven miles below, with tbe
remark: “No usetryin’;ye can’t

The First Money
The first fifty dollars that a young
man honestly earns, and saves over
and above his expeaaea while earn
ing it, will ordinarily stamp upon
his mind and character two of the
most important conditions of sne-
cess in after lifo - industry and
economy. It is far better for him
that lie should oirn the first fifty
dollars thaii thut it* should he giv
en him. If ho earns it he knu^a
" hut it is worth, uiuce it reprqeant*
to him a great amount of effort.
If lie saves it " bile earning a much
larger sum, he acquires thereby n
habit of economy. Neither of those
valuablo lessons is taught by a
pure gift. On the whole, it is rto
serious disadvantage toyoatig men
to begin lifo poor. Most parsons
who have become rich iu this coun
try wore once poor, aud in their
poverty they gained habits from
the stern necessity o4 their condi
tion which in the sequel resulted
in riches. Thooe who ware horn

If Ihe farmers of the ttouth would
raise their own supplies, make their
own fertilisers, and make eolten a
surplus crop, in ten years they would
be the most independent dose ot
people in Ihe country. The only
turmers who make money on cotton
ure those who do not have heavy gu
ano and provision bills to meet in
the fail. Taking them as a whole,
they are poorer than they were in
1870 in epite of last year’s crop ot
six and half million bales of ootton.
The policy of raising ootton, to the
exclusion of provision crops, benefits
every other cluss more than it do?a
the farmer.
It the Yankees ewued the South,
hi twenty years it would be the rich

small things, uud so the day of great
things come not ut ull. We bogs to
