LAND IMMIGRATION AGENCY. Houk & von Ringharz, having formed a limited partnership for the purpose of selling land in Western North Carolina, par- ticularly.in Caldwell, Burke & ! Watauga, and for the purpose of inducing immigration into thgt section, hereby solicit cor respondence with all persons who have land, either wild or improved, to dispose of on rea sonable terms. We want only arming lands for aetual settlers. JWe want no lands except those with clear title which we must be allowed to examine. Do not give extravagant descriptions of your lands. Let the purchaser be pleased rather than disappointed when he ex amines it. Do not put fancy prices on your land if you want to sell it. Do not go West but sell part of your land to a good neighbor who has $1,000 to pay you for it and $i,000 to stock and improve. We have excellent facilities for telling land to a good class of immigrants, who will make good, peaceable and industrious neighbors. Address Houk & von Ringharz Cellettsvaiw, N. C. CONCERNING- CARP CULTURE. Written for The Topic by BrK. r.'3eall. Any .one who has a never failing stream that will fill an inch pipe and space enough for a pond one hun dred feet square can raise carp enough for- a small family. Indeed I have heard of one man Mio raised enough for Lis family in a trench three feet wide., three fet deep and eighty feet long In small ponds they must be fed. The larger the pond the less need oP artificial food. A soft loamy or clay bottom for the fish to root in, is best, and it is best to be free from large- quantities of de caying leaves which may give a' mouldy taste to the fish. If it hastoo much sand, the insects, upon which they feed will notbe abundant- The water need not be deeper than sis or eigbt feet in the deepest place for a wintering place. Where the water is from one to two feet deep is good spawning or feeding ground. The very yoimg fish like shallow water from one to sis inches deep, because it is warmer and perhaps has more food for them. The first thing to be done is to build a dam strong enough to resist the water pressure, and high enough to prevent r. possible overflow. Clay is the best material to build it of, and be sure to have plenty of it. Make the base broad and gradually soje the sides till the top is two or there feet above the water and four to tix feet wide. For a dam ten feet hidi the base ought to be twenty five cr thirty feet, and the top sis feet wide. If the foundation is sand, cut a ditch running with the length of the dam. It may be two feet wide and three feet deep unless tbe bottom strikes clay or rock before it reaches that depth. Fill this ditch with clay and pound it well. You are now ready to pnt in your outlet. The cheapest and most convenient is a bos made of inch and a half plank, ' white oak or heart pine, ten iiiches broad. This ??ill give an outlet ten inches high and seven inched wide, which will drain an acre Lr more in a short time. One, ten or twelve inches square will drain any ordinary pond. For a dam twenty five feet at the base it will take three boses ten feet long so as to have the ends free from the dam above and below. Join the boses end to end and nail strips around the joints. It is necessary to have a screen and I have found it best to have it on the end in the pond. Saw off the cap or top plank of the bos 2 feet or as much as is notcovered by the daman d with a fine circular saw or a coarse hand eaw rip it into strips about a quarter of an inch wide and not quite to the end of the piece, making t"he first and last cut one and a half inch from the edge. Tack a half inch peice on the end where the saw starts in with a small nail, or an inch and a half finishing brad, in each strip eo as to sttady the small str-ps." Nail this screen back on the bos;and then a screen made in the same way on the end so as to close the box. It is best to have the gate at the lower end of the box out side of the dam The gate is a peice of plank eighteen inches or two feet high fitted intothe box and sliding up and dowi between two slats on each side of the box. The cap p'ank m;iy be sawed olf a foot or two from the gate so as to fiil up the etd of the bos with mud or saw dust When this is done and the cap nailed back the water will press ti'C saw dost &c , into every crack so that it will not leak a drop You are now ready to build your dam over the box and over the cross ditch in the middle of the foundation. If the dam is so s'tuite -1 as to borrow earth from both sides you can run a two horse wagon which will pack the earth as well as carry dirt faster than barrows and carts. The first four or five feet in height ougiit to be well packed. If heart pine or white oak plank, inch thick, can be had, it will be best to bave the deep est part, if not all, of the dam spiled. The top of the spiling should be four feet above the bottom of the pond so that if crawfish or musk rats should bore above the spiling there would still be four feet of water to keep the fish from escaping. A collecting ditch ought to run through the pond to the outlet, with a small basin near the cutlet box and sis or eight inches lower than the box, for the fish to collect in when the pond isi drawn off. The pond must be protected from floods. If the pond is near the head of the stream a ditch may be carried entirely around the pond. If some distance from the head of the stream a dam must be made above the head of the pond with a waste canal lead ing from it and either a pipe or some , contrivance to admit only the natur al flow of the stream or as much water, only as may be needed. I have invented and used for several years ajbos and automatic gate that shuts off itnd turns into the waste canal all .floods and sand. With this self shutting gate, ponds may be made at any distance from the head of the stream. If the bottom of the pond is hard or stiff clay it should be broken up wiiil with a plow so as to give the fish- a soft rioting ground. If the box outlet is used there should be another bos or trough to let the inflowing wat'-r pi-n oaf.. Protect th .s Willi fi Ri-r.'-i':; tn Lpch fliA v.-mnn h from fscapiuj. Tnis escis6 should di:it'h,uge in'o the vsta canal or some other convenient J lace so as not endnneier the dam by washing. There f-liouid also be a spacw lower than the main part of the dam so that if a flood y accident should break into the pond it could csc;!p": without running over tho dam The best iil ica for this 03-Nip;) is g? rurally at ihi) vnd of tho dim next to the WKsi.fc cjnsl. - Cr-.wrifth t.-ften b.-re through and fc-trt a leak that breaks the dam. They can be stopped by spiling with plank, or if sand is convenient by covering the wider face of the dam with a layer of it eight or ten inches thick. They can not bore into sand as it fills the hole as fast as made. Let the dam be strong, snd the pond well protected from floods. This is insisted on, as thousands of fish Lave been lost by weak dams and poorly protected ponds. We are now ready to "treat of the. management of carp in the pond. The Cash Srln c.ple for Kewsimpers. The Salisbury Advertiser, quoting an article from the Baltimore Sun on the subject of cash payments for. ad vertising aDd subscriptions to 'je country papers, says : "We are glad to receive commenda tion from the most successful and, all things considered, the best ot Mary land newspapers. There in much that is true and well put in'the Sun's remarks we quote in full. If the subi scribers knewhow muchmore readable their county papers would be if the cash principle was strictly observed, we think they would not hesitate to adopt it. A well printed, well edited uewspaper is the bet advertisement any community can have, because it is the one agency that goes abroad to tell the story of progress or decline. Business men who fad to increase their own trade and the credit of the;r town by the legitimate use of adver tisemen's are very selfish and old fashioned. They eitoer depend on catching the trade that other men's advertising. brings, or a9 they used to expect heavy profits on small sles to make money tor them. Cnrriei'! Soai fax Cvnw n l'ipr l.alhr. A. good soap for currier's use on uj.'pcr leather, says the Gerberzeiong. can be made as follows : In twpiity pounds ot snft water d'-ssolv? two pounds of white curd sop, half a pound of pare beef tallow, half a pound of bght resin, two pouids of gijcer.ne, hk1 h-l? -pint tr-r.n oil or V3e!it,e. Th oap cut in small strip3 to make it dis solve quickly, and put in half dI the water and set over a" gentle Ere. As soon as the soap is dissolved add the tallow, and when it all behis fo hoi! is in the re?in. The latter is added slowly with constant stirring. After boiling rapidly fo.- a while the mass is put into a stone crock and the glycerine stirred in, after this the train oil or vaseline, and finally the remainder of the water. This soap is applied lukewarm, slightly dried, and thpn polished with glass. At a microscopic exhibition in Boston, recently, the sting of a honey bee was shown upon the screen, and it was so sharp that the point could not be seen. A fine sewing needle was shown at the same time and the point with the same power of the microscope was five inches across. "God can make a fine point," said the exhibitor, "but man cannot," BILL NYE. The following is the only exact copy of Bill Nye's official letter in which he resigned the Post Office at Laramie City, Wyoming: Post Office Divax, Laramie City, Wyoming, October 1, 1883. To the President of the U. S : Sin: I beg leave at this time to officially tender my resignation as Postmaster at this place, and in due form to deliver the great seal and the key to the front door of the office. The safe combination is set on the numbers 33,- 66 and 99, though I do not remember at this moment which comes first, or how many feme's you revolve the knob, or which direction you should turn it at first in order to innke it operate. There is some mining stock in my private Irawer in the safe which I hyve not yet removed. This stock yon may have, if you desire it. It is u luxury, but younriy have it. I have di cided to keep a horse instead of this mining stock. The horee may not bt so pretty, but it will 3ost less to ket'p him. You will find the postal card that L ive not been used uuder the dietrib uting table, and coal down in the cellar. If the stove draws too hard ckse the damper in the pipe, and sir- iho geneial delivery window. L '.,jngovr my stormy and evwnt f;.l !i;!mirmtration as Postmaster here I :ind ;bundj.nt cause for thanksgiv ing. At the time I entered upon the duties of my. office the department v .s not yet on a paying basis. It was not even self-sustaining. Since that time, with the active co-opera, tion of the Chief Executive and the heads of the department, I have been able to make our postal system & paying One, and on top of that I am now able to reduce the tariff on aver age sized letters from three cents to two cents. I might add that this is rather too too, but I will not say anything that, might- seeiaf TmiUgni find in an official resignation which is to become a matter of history. Through all the vicissitudes of a tempestuous term of office I have safely passed. I am able to turn over the office to day in a highly im proved condition, and to present a purified and renovated institution to my successor. Acting under the advice of Gener al Hatton a year aaro, I removed the 4 feather bed with which my predeces sor, Deacon Hay ford, had bolstered up his administration by stuffing the window, and substituted glass. Find ing nothing in the book of instruc tions to Postmasters which made the leather bed a part of my official du ties, 1 filed it away in an obscure place and burned it in effigy, also, in the gloaming. Tnis act maddened my predecessor to such a degree that he then and there became a candidate for Justice of the Peace on the Dem ocratic t'eket. The Democratic par ty was able, however, with what aid it received from the Republicans, to plow the old man under to a great degree. it was not long after I had taken my official oath before an era of un exampled prosperity opened for the American people. Th e price of beef i'ohh to a remarkable altitude, and other vegetables commanded a good figure and a ready market. We then bfr-g o? to make active preparations i v rh'-'introduction of the strawberry r can two cent stamps and black and t .n postal notes. One reform has cjv.w.'ed upon the heels of another, r.i til tod iy t.ie country is u.)on the foiioi crated wave of a permanent prosperity. Mr. President, I can not close this letter with'out thanking yourself and the heads of departments at Wash ington for yocr active, cheery and prompt co operation in these matters. You can do as you see fit, of course, about in corpoiating this idea into your Thanksgiving proclamation, but rest assured it would not be ilMimed or inopportune. It is not alone a credit to myself. It reflects credit upon the Administration also. I need not say that I herewith transmit my resignation with great sorrow and genuine regret. We have toiled on together month after month asking for no reward except the in nate consciousness of rectitude and the salary as fixed by law. "Now we are to seperate. Here the roads seem to fork, as it were, and you and I and the Cabinet must leave each othet this point. You will find the kjy under tbj door mat, and you had bettor turn the cat out at night when you clou the office. If she does not go road:", ly you can make it clearer to her mind by throwing the cintvling stamp at her. If Deacon Hayford does not p ty up his box rent, you might as w ill pnt his mail in the general delivery, and when Bob Head gets drunkand hi sists on a letter from one of his wivcn every day in the week, .y&u ciu si ute him through the box delivery with an old Queen Anne tomahawk which you will find near the Etrucau waterpail.. This will noY in any manner surprise '"either of "these surprise parties. Tears are unavailing. I once moro . become a private citizen, clothed on ly with the right to read such postal cards as may be addressed to mi personallyand to curae the inefficiency of the Post Office Department. I may be in error as to t Je attribute of an American citizen, butl believe the above to be the moat prominent, I believe the voting class to be di ' vided iuto two ' parties, viz, those who are mad because they can not receive a registered letter every iTTteeu minutes of each day, including Sun day. Mr, PrsidenJ., as au ailiciul of this Government I now retire, My term A office would not expire until 18SG. I must, tfu-nifore btg ptrdon f ;r my woven tricify in it tiring It will bo best, p.-r'-ivp, to keep my heart breaking uov from the Jvu'opi:.in powers until the d aigers of a ilnan cial paniv ;ir" fully past Then hurl it broadcast wit.a a sickening thn.l." Very lepcctfiUly y-nire, I3lM NYK. K:1U.1II'H sr .Alt I. OHIO. A correspondent of t!ie Ohio lir mer,conducting a sugar factory in the State, says : "Not a single man that brought cane to our mill raised as much as one whole acr c U, gcutnuiy . one-eighth to one quarter of an acre, and they Would have 'lorn om load to three or four good wagon loinis f the cane ; but oyer four fifths of thnn simply wanted molasses foj; co-king purposes. And but u small portion of it were they wili ng should be cooked into sugar. Because we did not make more sugar wus because we were not allowed to do so. Every gallon of good mola?ses made from matured cane, agreeable to the Stew art process, will granulate rully four pounds of sugar the first granulation. Estimates give 10G gallons per rcre of sorghum raolasse- as t'e jicl l for Ohio. If this be true it would m:ke fully four hundred pounds of dry sugar and seventy gallons of drai iajo molasses, worth from 33 to 45 cents per gallon at wholesale for coo ing purposes. Wo have soul every par ticle of our drainage molasses at 35 cents per gnl'.on, uud if the suar Is bft in we sell it from 09 to 75 cents per gallon. No min can get as much money from an acre of land in corn as he can fron sugar catp, if Le lives close by a sugar factory. The aver age woiliipor acre, if made into mo lasses alone, under the Stvart . pra cess, would bo oer six'y dollars per acre; and if made into bcth eugar i.nd molfftses it would come to fully seventy dollars per acre ; besides this, the crop of cane seed if fropcrly saved, cured a id thrashed, U.e haine as whHi', is w.tr'.l) half as rcucii feed ing purposes a? uvitm jo acre of corn will yit-.id i.i the fcatLc vicinity."
