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 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. TWO VIEWS OF THE SOLID SOUTH. THE HISTORY OF « SPEECH.

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.
