plex and handed Mr. Keene a rebate check,
chargingU 1 1 cents fate. Mr. Keene became
indignaut and refused to accept the change.
After some talk the conductor, not wishing
to become involved in a quarrel with the
rich speculator,withdrew bis rebate che’k.
handed hack all of Mr. Keene's money
and concluded to pay Keene's fare as far
as Jamaica out of his own pocket.
At Jamaica Conductor Rindall took
charge of the train. Presently th*conduc
tor, who is a large and powerful man,came
to “Jim” Keene for his fare.
“I am a commuter,"be said curtly, "and
I’ve left my book at home."
"Then you roust pay your fare like any
one else," said the conductor.
"I will not pay my fare twice. I’ve paid
my fare for a year, and you can take your
connon to morrow.’’
“Well, then," responded the conductor,
"you’ll have to get c.ff ”
"I gness not," sneered Mr. Keene, set
tling himself comfortably in his seat.
" ack." shouted the conductor, "get out
your danger il*ig.” at the same time giving
the hell-rope a jerk, signaling the engineer
to stop the train.
The csr was pretty well filled with pas
sengers, including a few ladles, and the
words between K*ene and the conductor
bad attracted general attention, but when
the train was signaled to stop and a whis
tle for “down brakes" was hear *, every
body was on the alert and a lively time was
looked for.
“Now get ont,” said the conductor as he
towered over K*ene.
“No, I won’t," said Keene, livid with
rage, and jumping to hit feet, he grasped
conductor Kendall by the throat.
Instantly a score of gen lenten were on
their feet and croxriirg around the c-.uple,

general fracas, made for the Hirers Ran

to go to his corner.
"Time,” shouted a ptissenner facetlonsly
front the rear end of the car. but the sec
onds of the coinbatHtits kept them s'oof.
A friend of Mr K«-ene then paid the 1st
ter's fare and the conductor signaled the
engineer to proceed, at whicn moment a
couple of brakemen came rushing in from
the o her end of the trsin wi> h their coats

KOA/ TO NOMINATE YOUR MAN.
Some Valuable Advice to C ratorloal Mem
bers.
Adopted irora the Chicago News.
Butoton the lower bitton of your
coat and allow the lapels of the garment
to pnff out over your shirt front. This
will give you a sort of massive dignity
which cannot fail to impress the specta
tors.
Lean one elbow on your desk and
cross your legs carelessly. This will invest
you with au appearance of abandon, and
people will say you have remarkable self-
possession. If your boots are not blacked,
so much the better. The human mind that
is absorbed in statosraanly reflection sel
dom stoops to the vulgar details of a dan
dy’s toilet.
3. Give two or three premonitory
abents,’’ and cast your eyes about upon
the vast concourse before and around you,
as perchance the Roman gladiators did
when tiey took in the dimensions of the
foe preparatory to disemboweling him.
4. C •nimence your speech by uttering
the words, "Mister 8pe#ker,” in a lond,
commanding tone. D> not Bay "'8ier
Speaker." as (be vulgar do, but sav "Mis
ter Speaker,” and every human eye will be
rivited upon \on.
5. Pause for a moment. A. calm pre
cedes the storm. L*-t an ominous silence
prepare your auditors for the hurricane of
loquence you are about to let loose.
G State that you arise, for a purpose.
Do not mgleet to assert this fact that you
arise. It U one of the fundamental prop
ositions of every truly great legislator's re
marks.
7. Proceed to ea7 that your purpose in
rising is to place in nomination a man.
Thus you define the sex of the obj«*c; yon
are about to extol.
8. Declare that this man is known
throughout all the length and breadth of
the State; that his name is a household
word: that in points of intelligence, abili
ty, energy, industry and integrity he has
few tquals and tto superior.
0. liefer to his record as a soldier; dwell
at length upon bis heroism on the field of
battle; picture some scene of carnsge
from which he issued with ten thousand
sabre cuts and as many more iuu«ket
wounds; intimate tbit his ountry owes
this battered hero much more than it can
ever pay, but express a wi-llngness to com
promise temporally on the office in ques
tion. At this juncture you may uncross
your Ifgx apply your handkerchief toyour
eyes atid await thunders of app'ause
10 Proceed to repeat the somewhat
trite saw that pence hath her victor es no
less renowned than war; ray that this
scarred veteran has served his country in
a private rapacity with as much fidelity as
he manifested upon soil that reetted with
gore. Refer to the gem le, modest, manly
demeano'of your candidate; say how be
loved he is by all who know him; how
charitable he is and how law abiding.
If he hits ever been a bam constable or a
special deputy sheriff dwell ats nte length
pun the abtitry with wnich he discharged
b« responsible duties confided to his
hand# bv his admidng fellow citizens.
11. Now you may allude to the rival
candidates, damning them with faint
praise, and if necessary, damn them with
out faint praise; express your willingness
to •ubmit to the will of ihe majority if the
majority sees fit to ignore the superlative
qualifications of your friend for the clai ns
of a less competent but no more honorable
candidate.
12 Reft*r to the demand which these trying
times makes for the bed men in office.
Warn your ps»ty to beware of intrusting
its interests in the hands of untried men.
and ask upon whom could reliance be
ptRC?*d more safely then upon the soldier
citizen whose name you are about to pro
nounce.
13. Here yon may take a drink of wa
ter, and in doing so have a care to act
yonr part so wed as to leave no lingering
ansi ici »n in the minds of the spectators
that you are only slightly acquainted with
the l everage.
14. The peroration. Make a protract
ed synopsis of all you have said; be sure
to ring in a little ruses of flub lub and flap
doodle about the lost cause aud the trip<
p'« barred banner.
15. Mention your candidate's rente in
• clear, ringing voice and with a i«-j<Atlc
awing of bo b arms Then rit down and
wait for the applause to die away.
10. Hand a cigar to each of the news
paper correspondents with the remark
that you are a consent read-r of his
paper, an i are ready at all times to do it
• service.
from these of wMch Hill constructed his
speech. As 1 gave them to him, I told him
1 hoped tnat he would me them for all
they were worth, and that he would not be
afraid of hurting the feelings of his oppo
nents. He replied with a laugh that he
did not expect to spare them, and you
know the result was the most powerful
and the most vindictive speech since the
war. The galleries were crowded when it
was delivered, and it made Hill so popular
throughout tiie South that it secured his
election to the Benate some time later.”
CARP CULTURE.
Profits Greater Than They Are From
Raising Cattle and Hoes*
A writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer has
this to say about carp raising:
I have used carp for table use for
many years, and can say with -.aDy wit
nesses that they are fine eating. 1 caught
one last July, a year and a half old, that
weighed seven and a half pounds. Several
gentlemen from Cincinnati, Ohio, ate of it
and pronounced it fine eating. I began
raising carp three years ago laat spring. I
started with a few minnows. Last
spring was the first spawning.
I judge that I* have a million of
them now, some weighing a pound each.
I think that the three-year olas will weigh
fr in fifteen to twenty pounds. I have a
feeding room for the minnows, and at the
ringing of a bell thousand-} will conte up to
eat. I feed them ab mt a bushel of crack
ers a day until aaout the middle of Octo
ber; then they gj to the bottom for the
winter.
I have now ten ponds stocked wi'h from
two thousand to four thousand of young
carp that will weigh next fall trom three
to four pounds. At ten cents per pound
they will bring from thirty to forty
cents each, which is more profi a-
ble than raising hogs. My first
pond I stocked last epring with four thou
sand. and after one week by the ringing of
a bell they would come up and cat out of
my hand. Hundreds of people come to
witness the feeding. I feed them crackers,
because crackers are the cheapest. I will
►ay for the public that fi.ih-raising is ac
complished best in cedar brush. I tried
other brush, and noticed that in spawning
time the fi.-h were playing in 'he cedar
b'ush and none on the m nosite side of the
pood in the other brum. They began
spawning on the lGth day of May, and did
not come up for fourteen days.
They spawn about fiv • times a year and
about two weeks apart, the first spawning
hatched out in about twenty-four days.
My ponds cover about te . acres of ground
unfit for any other purpose, and h«ve cost
me about 92,000. I sold one hundred min
nows to a neighbor, and in iix weeks after
he 9‘ocke 1 his pond the dam broke a way
and a >me of his fish washed out and.were
found and seen to have grown one inch
per week. Five weexs later some of the
fl*h were caught and measured one foot
long If all farmers will raise c«rp they
will find it not only profitable, but wiH
learn that the carp are fine table-fish.
A DESPERATE SEA FIGHT.
An Acoount by an Eyewitness of the
Naval Battle off the Peruvian Coast.
Panama, January 15.—News from Ecua
dor Is still of a doubtful nature. Full par
ticulars have been received of the boarding
of the Haucho by Alfaro and the crew of
the Alajuela. The action seems to have
been one of the most gallant and sangui
nary ever fought on board a vessel. The
following report was made by an officer of
the Nueve de Julio, one of the government
vessels: "The Alajuela knew where the
Huacho was, knew how many men there
were on board, and determined to attack
her. At about midnight we heard firing.
We at once steamed in the direction. The
firing grew heavier, and was steadily kept
up. On approaching the scene of the com
bat our commander determined to attack,
taking the Alajuela hetween us and the
Huacho. Gatliug guns, rifles and ev6n
machetes had been abandoned and the
men were engaged in one of those sharp
encounters from which few emerge alive.
This death struggle was a horrible one,
and yet the men of the Alajuela left the
Huacho, of which they were la possession,
and returned to their own vessel. Then
we endeavored to ram and sink her by the
stern. We failed and she at once attacked
us and even endeavored to carry us by
boarding, but failed owing to tho play of
our maculae guns and rifles. One of our
shells fell on her stern deck and set fire to
It. Then we determ I npd to board her, but
one of our guns bi r t tearing up a part of
the deck and killing tto.ue of our gunuers.
We pursued the burning Alalnela. which
nevertheless went alongside the Huacho
and endeaiored to set her on fire.

What Mr. Sullivan Finds to Admire In
Suon u state of Affairs,
New York Times.
At a meeting of the Nineteenth Centnry
Club at the house of Mr. Conrtlandt
Palmer, No. 117 Best Twenty-first street,
last evening, ths question of the ‘ Solid
Sonth” was discussed in tbe presence of a
large number of ladles and gentlemen. Ex-
S-nator Gordon, of Georgia, was to have
been theebief speaker, bnt was anableto be
present. Mr. Algernon 8.8ullivan spoke on
the Democratic view of the subject and
the Hon. Abram Wakeman on tbe Repub
lican. Mr. Sullivan sdd tbat the solid
Sonth, consisting of Steles south of Ma
son and Dixon's line, bad determined to
persistently cast their electoral vote, on
one side because Republicans nail endeav
ored by legislation at the clove of tbe war
to make the South a Republican section.
The South was determined that there
shonld not be among tnem a political as
cendancy organize i oy politicians at the
North. The political solid South waa a
good thing for tbe country. The attempt
to peri etoat. it might be an evil, but aa a
temporary remedy fur a temporary evil It
waa a good thing. The motive and ihe
feeling under tne.formation of therolid
South was a sob r and earnest belief tbat
the country would be made the recipient
of great, good.
Mr. Wakorrau said the Sonth was made
nn of two important element—over 700U,-
000 of whites aod over 5,000000 of negro* s.
tbe wbbei had treated the colored popu
lation alniner the asms as if they were still
slaves The while race In the South had
determined to hold the balance of political
power there. In tue last e'eciion, in sev
eral of iba State,, not more than half of
th - voters cast their ball >'s. The 1100,TO)
colored men in the South have been unable
to control a single electoral rote. Out of
the 153 at least 18 wore in
the iaat election imoroperly east.
The root of tha trouble lay in
the fact that the oolored man was under
the control of tbe dominant race. Elgb'y-
thrro per cent, of them could neither read
nor write. Elucatlon would qualify them
tor the new position in which tbe war had
placed them. It waa tha duty of tba gov
ernment to aid them in getting this educa
tion. and the speaker waa glautoaee Dem
ocrats and Republicans joining in a move
ment to that end.
