WEALTH IN THE POND.
HOW CARP CULTURE PROGRESSES
IN GEORGIA.
Another Visit to the Carp Fond of Ur. Wright, Hear
Orillia—What He Has to Bay of Els Industry —
Another Fond forBreedlnc Purposes—
How the Flah Suould be Attended to.
Griffin, Ga., February 13.—[Special
Correspondence.]—Although the place is
not live 11 vu id red yards from the de
pot, I mounted a horse this afterr.oon and
drove down to Mr. Able Wright’s carp pond
for the purpose of having him tell me all
About the modus operandi of building and
caring for lira {Kind and fish. I consider his
the model poml of tiic slate, and all others
who desire to build could well nlTord to come
here and take a look at this one. I found the
ingenious carj>-raiser busily tarring a pretty
little skiff that he intends using on his pond.
‘‘What's that you are up to now?” I asked,
looking at the upturned boat.
“O,' this is only a skiff. Tam tarring it now
to keep the water out, and to keep it from
rotting.”
‘‘Going to have a boat race?”
“N»; only going to use it to haul dirt around
the dam and to haul grass and moss and other
food out into the deeper waters of the pond.
There isn t much fun in carting a wheelbar
row 200 yards, when I can take my boat and
shorten the distance three-fourths."
After liuving him explain about why he
wanted more dirt on his dam, which, by the
way, lie characteristically said, was “because
there wasn’t enough alieady there,” I told
him I wanted to know now his final advice to
the public on carp culture.
“Well,” said lie, “I am going to build me
another {Hind right away for breeding pur
poses. 1 think it will be much better to separate
the breeders from the others because it gives
the young better protection. This pond will
not liuvc to fie so large as the main pond?”
“What will be the difference in their
zes?”
“I intend to make the new one about one-
sixth the size of this one before us.”
‘Is it absolutely necessary to have a breed
ing pond?”
•‘On this point opinion differs. I cannot
say anything beyond what my judgment tells
me. _ When my fish spawn this time I may
possibly remove the eggs from the lower {Kind
and place them in the larger one above.”
“Can you remove the eggs—how is this oc-
comjiiished?” I asked.
"Easily enough. You see, all one has to do
Ls to place a few branches of trees uround the
edge of the breeding pond and when the spawn
ing season arrives, the carp will attach the
eggs to the branches. It is then but ft simple
matter to remove them to the other {Mind.
This will prevent the old ones from eating the
spawn, and the hatching will he often twice
as large. Still, it isn’t necessary to worry
about the spawn h»ing eaten. The otd ones
.simply can’t eat all the eggs, and an ordinary
pond will have enough left after the canilial-
ism has been practised tosatisfy all reasonable
desires.”
“Do you think your breeders ato many of
your young carp and eggs?”
“Why, J haven’t a doubt of it. The eggs
were dejiosi led in my pond first on the inclined
side of the dam, anti 1 made no effort to pre
vent their being eaten. I had probably fifty
•breeders, and yet I believe I have a million
young earp left. That docsn t look like
could miss them.” ,
Before going further into this part
of Mr. Wright’a talk itis well to give a dia
gram of his present pond us it Tins created
such unusual interest throughout the State.
Here is about the shape of it. You see that it
hears some resemblance to tlui State of Geor
gia.
I*t5*
A—Hydraulic nun sunk in a dry well In pond.
It—l)am, nearl) 400 feet long.
C D—Beautiful weeping willows on two little
sodded islands
K—Trough that feeds the pond from underground
** t—Box where shipping size are kept.
G—Where fish eggs were seen.
H—Shallow water.
I—Magnolias ami willows—about twenty in all.
J—Depth here six feet.
K to J—Depth from three Inches to six feet.
1.—Water lillics and aquatic plants.
Size of pond nearly one acre.
The spot in which the pond is located is
Admirably suited to the purpose. In summer
the place presents a really beautiful appear
ance, and is a resort for nearly all of Griffin.
The water is conveyed from a branch abov
the pond by means of a terra cotta pipe. The
stream is scarcely larger than twice the size of
•one's arm, but sufficiently large to keep the
{Hind fresh, the wa cr never becoming slug
gisli. Then, too, there is a bold spring bub
bling up in the very center of the pond, sup
plying quite as much water as the terra cotta
pipe. There is a cut-off at the mouth of the
pipe, so that when it mins at night or day,
Jlr. Wright can simply pull a wire and let tlie
pond go away. By an iug 'irons arrangement
all surplus water is carried off under the pond
through a large pipe.
The hydraulic rant shown in the dia
gram lias no special connection with
the pond except to discharge the
surplus water in case of an ov» rtiow. If it
mins too hard, instead of going over the dam.
the water pours over the edges of this wooden
well and out through the bottom by way of
another discharge pipe. In this way it is im
possible to submerge either the minor well
Then around the top of the octagonal well,
-which is about ten feet deep ami eight feet
across, is a gauze railing about eight inches
high to prevent the young carp from escaping.
The min simply supplies water to Mr.
Wright’s dwelling, some fifty yards off.
about B, in the diagram, down at the extreme
bottom of the dam, is the big discharge pipe
for draining the entire pond whenever that
becomes necessary. By a simple way of pull
ing a lever, the pond can be emptied of almost
-every drop of water in a short while, the dis
charge being very large.
“All ponds.” said Mr. Wright, “ought to
be constructed on this plan, so that if any
thing foreign or foul or damaging to the carp
should get in, the water can be taken oil at
once. In spawning season the water ought to
be taken off and the breeders gotten out, if
one has two ponds." _.
As to the care of the pond, Mr. Wright
continuing, said: “There should be planted
in the pond all sorts of aquatic plants, such
as yrater lilies, sea outs, wild rice, or Xus cur oru
rice, as it is called; spatterdock, duck weed
from Florida, mosses, ferns and anytiiing else
that can be gotten in southern streams.”
“Do they eat these tilings readily?”
“You would think so had you been here
when I drew off this pond some months ago.
I had put in nearly 1,000 pounds of
Florida moss a short while before,
but not a vestige remained to be seen when
the bottom appeared. I was astonished. One
can't be too ca'reful about planting plenty of
grasses. Burmuda grass is asplendia food for
carps—nothing better—and you know that is
plentiful anywhere.
“Another thing I wish to say,” said he, “is
that the pond must be kept entirely free from
all kinds of reptiles and preying animals.
Snakes, ducks, frogs, muskrats, etc., must all
he kept out. I have seen snakes swimming
around with young carp in their mouths; and
not long ago I took my rifle and shot a king
fisher that had just eight young carp in its
raw. Bull frogs are another terrible nuisance
and must be 'kept out entirely. Nothing
better f{>r this purpose than a good rifle. I
can take a frog's eyes out nine times out of
ten.”
And this is a fact, tco. I've seen him make
some marvelously good shots with his revolv
ing rifle.
Continuing, Mr. Wright said, ‘‘Turtles and
terrapins must also be kept out of a carp
pond. They are worse than anytiiing else
after young fish. I am going to build a small
picket railing about two feet high around my
pond, and have holes at intervals on the out
side to catch the terrapins when they make
their overland trips from the streams. When
they get to the pickets, they willgoallaround
trying to get in, looking up all the time, until
they go down ‘plump!’ into a hole.”
“What an idea,” 1 said, laughing.
“Another good thing,” said Mr. Wright,
have at least one good sized male pike
e pond. In Germany this is considered al
most an essential to successful carp culture.
Tlie pike is as restless as a hyena, and keeps
the carp constantly moving around. The
umber of carp one pike will eat won’t
umount to anything noticeable. You see the
irp is naturally a sluggish fish, especially
after eating, and the pike prevents their keep
ing so still. In this way they grow much
more rapitjjy und are better every way. One
pikq will make a million carp stand around
and keep up a full dress front if need be. He
is literally a cock of the walk as well as king
of the waters, and is a paradoxical benefit to
any carp pond.”
"Where can pike be procured?”
“I do not know, positively, but I presume
from tlie fish commissioners at Washington.
* ordered mine direct from Germany.”
“Tell me something about having separate
ponds for the different varieties of earp. Do
you think it necessary to keep them apart?”
I asked.
“Well, my individual opinion is that they
cannot be injured at all by mixing the va
rieties.”
“Won’t they liybredize?”
“How can you liybredize animals of the
same species? Not at all? The leather
urp is the same species as the scale carp, or
carp proper, and only differs in variety, tiiat’s
ail. The mirror carp is a cross between
scale carp and a leather carp.
They are all earp. I do not be
lieve it will do any harm to
keep tlie three varieties in the same pond,
and you will find that I am right by expe
rience. Common sense tells me this, but if I
am mistaken I’ll acknowledge my error.
This is a point on which some of'the fish
men differ, but my ideas are pretty well made
up, and even in tlie face of all my expendi
tures. I am satisfied to let the three varieties
remain together.”
"Have you anything else to say about the
best food for carp?”
A favorite food for them is blood. They
seem to like it better than anything else,
though they eat anything almost. All refuse
ufful is good for them. It would pay for one
to own a meat chopper and cut up everything
the way of old meats, but
they fairly smack their lips over congealed
hlood—it is dessert to them. Mr. Sol Muck
told me the other day that when a horse dies
over in Germany, they take him to a carp
{-oiul and dump him in. They pi .k his bones
till they are whito as cotton. They will pick
a man’s bones the same way, though I don’t
want to give them a chance of mine. It is
good evening to a fellow who goes to tlie bot
tom; lie will come out with bleached bones
every time in a carp pond. But they will not
try to catch anythingalive except worms.
‘You.may tell The Constitution that unless
the fish and {Hinds have every possible atten
tion, it is money thrown away and fish killed
to start into the carp industry,
want to impress this fact es
pecially. Like everything else, they
must be attended to. No fish can be kept iu
still water without proper care. “And now
this,” said he, “is about all I know, unless
somebody comes here to see me again, then 1
may give them as many new points as I have
told you already.”
And I believe this is true. Air. Wright has
carp culture down to a tine point, and can
talk fish as entertainingly as one would wish.
By tlie way, just before I left this afternoon,
lie spoke of another fish enterprise that prom
ises to give him both pleasure and profit. He
is going to buiid a third pond shortly and
stock it with pike perch, a fast-growing fish,
from Germany, that is very game. It is not
sluggish, like the carp, but flies
around and bites at anything. It
considered very fine. They have already
been ordered. Air. Wright further said that
he thought it would be a grand idea to intro
duce the German barb into tliis country
Like the carp, it is a remarkably fast grower,
and is considered in Germany the equal to
the carp. He has been asked by several Ger
mans why he did not bring out tlie barb.
is considered a great delicacy. Mr. Wright s
uncle says that when the blooms appear at^the
golden gate, thousands of people from all sec
tions of the country flock to see it. In South
America it is a perpetual bloomer. It is high
ly probable that Griffin may be treated this
spring to the massive blooms of this_ royal
lily.

Dr. Felton in liis independent movement
reminds me of an aneedete told by the late Dr.
Stuart Robinson, of Louisville, Kentucky, on
himself.
Many years ago Dr. Robinson went to Balti
more, Alarvland, for the purpose of starting
an independent magazine. It was designed
to lie independent of the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church. Dr. Robinson was
looking around fora name for his independent
journal, and was receiving suggestions from
liis friends. The Rev. Mr. Lacy, of Virginia,
wrote to him to call liis.niagazine “The Sals-
tonstall Review.” Dr. Robinson said that he
examined all the old Woks that he could find
for tlie purpose of discovering where Lacy
got the name, but his researches were in vain.
About a month after he received the letter
he met Lacy one day accidentally on the
streets of Baltimore, ilis first inquiry was,
“Lacy, where did you get tiiat name for my
magazine you sent me, ‘The Saltsonstall Re
view.’ ”
Lacy replied: “Doctor, I understand that
your magazine is to be independent of the
f eneral assembly of the Presbyterian church,
s it so?”
“Yes,” said the doctor.
“Well, I will tell you where 1 got the
name. Several years ago. a man by the name
of Saltsonstall who lived in Virginia, was in
dieted for an assault and battery. Tlie trial
came on in our circuit court, and the witness
for tiie state, a Mr. Curry, was sworn and put
upon the stand. The attorney for tlie state
asked Curry if he saw the light. He replied
that lie did. He then asked the witness,
What was Saltsonstall doing?
Curry—He was only slashing around.
Attorney—What do you mean, Air. Curry,
by “slashingaround?”
Curry—Well, I’ll tell you. There was Mr.
Jones and Air. Smith, they clinched and fit,
and there was Mr. Cushingberry and Canter-
berry, they clinched and fit, and—
Attorney—Hold on, Mr. Curry, I want to
know what Air. Saltsonstall was doing?
Curry—I told you he was only slashing
around.
Attorney—Well, Air. Curry, I want to know
what you mean by “slashing around?”
Curry—Weil, I have tried to tell you and
ou won't let me.
The Judge—Mr. Carry, if you don’t answer
the question I will fine and'commit you for
contempt. Tell tlie attorney what you mean
by "slashing around.”
Curry—Well, judge, I’ve been trying to
tell it. all the time, and I will tell you. There
was Air. Jones and Air. Smith, they—
Judge—Hold on, Mr. Curry—what was
Saltsonstall doing?
Curry—Well, judge. I have told you that
Saltsonstall was only slashing around.
Judge—Now, Mr. Curry, tell what you mean
by slashing around?
Curry—Well, I’ll tell you if you will let
me.
Judge—Go on.
Curry—Well, there was Air. Jones and—
Judge—Hold on. Mr. Curry.
Curry—Well, judge, if you won’t let me
tell you. All of them fellows clinched and
fit, and Saltsonstall was walking around
knocking down every outsider he met.

I had a talk with Hon. J. T. Henderson the
other day and gathered some interesting
facts about carps. He has distributed, in all,
from Atlanta, something over 5,000 fish. He
has had over G00 applications, hut could only
fill about 150, thus leaving some 450
orders unfilled. . Tlie ponds he stocked
did not contain as many as Mr. Wright has
been sending out. Judge Henderson thinks
ten or fifteen a sufficient' number to start on,
but Mr. Wright usists on having plenty, as
the young ones get killed or eaten by other
fish’when the ponds are not thoroughly
clean.
From close estimates made, I conclude that
counting 5.000 sent out by the state commis
sion and 5,000 by Mr. Abel Wright, together
with a probable 15,000 or20,000 distributed by
tlie Georgia congressmen, not less than-25.000
or 30,000 young carp have been brought to
Georgia. This estimate I got in talking with
Judge Henderson.
They say Colonel Blount made
heavy deal in his district with
liis carp. He brought out a large number
from Washington, and in going about tlie
country literally baited his congressional hook
with young carp, which he scattered broad
cast. ’ He couldn’t have done a better thing
for the state—er lor himself. _ _
Mr. Wright has planted in his pond sixteen
bulbs of tiie famous "Victoria regia” lily.
They were sent to him by his uncle from San
Francisco. This lily is a very wonderful plant,
and conies originally from the Amazon river.
Tlie only ones that ever bloomed in America
were those in the Golden Gate park, at San
Francisco. They were presented to tlie city
by the British consul. The flower is sixteen
inches in diameter. It opens at sundown and
closes at sun rise. The bloom only lasts three
days; on the first day it is pure white; the
tse’xt finds it a light rose pink, and the third
cimuges it to a still deeper rose, then it is
gone.' They commence to bloom in March or
April, and continue blooming until August.
1‘rohablv the most remarkable part of this
lily is the leaves. They are wonderfully large,
and often contain as many as G4 square feet,
being strong enough to hold up the weight of
a young child. The edges of the leaves a
turned up for about two inches, thus forming
a protection against the waves. The edge of
this ritu is slightly fluted or scalloped. The
natives use the seed of tills Victoria regia, or
tju-.ca lily, for food, roasting it like coffee. It

A SMALL-POX PATIENT FROZEN
Escaping From the Battuta I'ct-lloiue and Found
Dead in a Creek.
Buffalo, N. Y. February 14.—The patient
who escaped from the pest-house met with
terrible fate, his body being found frozen stiff
this morning in Scajaquada creek, not far
from the institution. The case is a remarka
ble one. William Brandt, a mechanic em
ployed tn the foundry of Sherman S. Jewett
<£ Co., was exposed to contagion by the pres
ence in the foundry of William Pepsty,
whose mother had communicated the
disease of small pox to him, and who
was then suffering with a severe attack
of varioloid. Mr. Brandt’s symptoms
developed rapidly last week* and lie
was obliged to remain at home. The city
health officers were informed of them-tter,
and on Monday last Brandt was taken from
lifs home and driven in an open buggy to the
pest-house. His principal attire during this
cold drive wa? a heavy blanket, which, the
neighbors say, w a3 not adequate to protect
him from the weather. On the night of
Wednesday, while in a delirium, Brandt rose
from his bed, forced open the window, which
had not been provided with proper fasten
ings, and made his escape from the pest-
house. The keeper, John Werrick, claimed
that tlie man eflected his escape on the. fol
lowing morning while tlie keeper was going
for a scuttle of coal. Werrick says he was
away from the room not more titan five min
utes*. There are some persons who strongly
censure Merrick, and who say that had tlie
man escaped during this five minutes’
absence he could not have got so far
away as not to have been readily traced. It
is stated to-day that an action for damages
will be begun against the city by Brandt’
widow.
