In theoourse of a conversation with n reporter General Hancock said he had heard satisfactory reports re- garding the campaign as far as it had gone. He did not wish to talk about polities ot anything bearing upon his candidacy for the presidency, especial- ly until officially wotified by the com- mittee of the mational convention. Referring to the statoment made re- cently that after tho decision of the electoral commission he still consider- ed Tilden legally elected president, and would obey any orders emanating from him after March 34, and that he wrote to General Sherman to that ef- fect, the reporter asked the.general i€ ho had anything to say conceraing this. “Itis hardly worth while,” sxid he, ““to reply to those storles, there a many_of them floatiog arouna. p- pose I did write such a letter, aa spo- ken of, to General Sherman. I have not had occasion to do so, but I un- derstand it is reported If ever such a letter was written, it must be in the hands of General Sherman, andit would not be proper for me to give its contents to the publio with- out the consent of General Sherman. I such a letter was written and gentlemen who are clamoring foF it want it 80 b.dly, why don't they go to General Sherman for it? If there is such aletter in existence I shall bo very happy to have. it given to the public. L have NEVER WRITTEN ANYTHING I AM ASHAMED OF.

Such astcry as that is unworthy of notice. If I'be- gan submitting to interviews about theee statoments it would occupy my whole time, aad I would have to con- tinue auéwering them for all time to oome. Sens't1s persons can see the absurdity of these accusations. A large party of Biooklyn demo- erats, headed by Judge Calvin E. Pratt, visited General Hancock yes day morning to pay their compli- ments.

Wasniveron, July 8—1 & m— Admiral Ammen and Chief Engisiesr Menocal called_on the president tordsy and had .vq&-.usfi o interview on the subjeds of the Nicaraugua canal. Menocal brief- ly stated his recent experiences in Nicarstigua, the points of conces- sfon obtained, and the enthusinsm fels- ! by the le of iea. for o A e e o & himself as highly pleased with the statement, whereby Menocal re- iterated his expressions of interest in the success of the pmrc}, ing that he was prepared to do all in hi power to assist the scheme.

Menceal, in which mention ismade of theClayton-Bulwer treaty, a promi- nent gentleman of this city, himeelf a great friend and promoter of thy sure for Hancock. ““There ought,” remarked Geueral Hancock, “to be no tcouble about Pennsylva: 1 had a conversation this morning with an actist who had been down in (he county where I was my mother. He says that - ALMOST EVERY ONE WOULD VOTE FOR ax & that he met, republicans ‘as well as democrats. If this is true it shows s desire on the part of the peoplo for & chauge. 1am of the opinion that the canal has prepared his views on the subject, which have been submitted for approval to ove of the most ‘prominent persons counected with the judiciary of our country. This gen- tleman says: - ““To my mind there would be great advantage to 'the Ubited States in a guaranty of neu- trality on the part of all nations. The inferior powers to do so pofitive- 1y by denying the useof their ports to “hose 'rhich should wish to possess thenwelves of the transit or to im- it. To control the immediate vicinity of the approaches of the area of neutrality, I would suppose, should exjend at sea overa radius of one hua- dred_milles from the principal light houses at the termini of the canal. The fact that the neutrality might be broken in the event of hostilities would not destroy its general use acd fulness or fail to impcse on the powers breaking it, not only the onus but the positive disadvantage of debar- ment from the ports of many inferior powers, and this determent might ex- tend to a commercial non-intercourse which should take effoct, only after vessals, actually in transitat the time of the proclmation should have ar- rived at their destination, unloaded and loaded, with the right to remain uutil an adjustment of the diffioulty at a'l ports. An assertion on our part that we will control the Isthmus, without any inveation to other pow- ers that could ald or tect their interests in our s:vplonbl- lack of any force for the pucpose, may well excite an axpression of ridicule ,Imd naturally lead to whatever combination might be possible out of advautage. It would be regarded by the people of other uations as a pretension on our part to suppose that we are the only people who have very considerable material interest in the opening of an Ameri- can inter-oceanicship caval, and it is much a duty on the part of other powers to secure and protect their in- terests asit is our duty to protect those which exclasively belong to us, although they may be of the double uature of a preponderating impor- tance as compared with any ofher nation. We could mot say to a foreign company you shall or you shall not construct a canal, nor if you make a éanal we will limit your rates of transitto such an amount per ton or such a per centum of dividend of yourinvestment. Happily those com- plications have been avorded and there only romains such an are controllable, such as promoting the prompt econo- mical construction of the work snd of controlling the mauagement of the construction 80 that the canal shall really be a commercial benefit as well as to the benefit of the stockholders. sde b e medis Had congress given notice fo Grest Britrin of the abrogation of the Clay- | ton-Bulwer treaty, or rather ordered |- the executive to do so, I am quite,se- sured that the Nicaragusn governmént wonld not have given a_concessionito our countrymen, but instead to M.

The court said the motion to dismiss ‘made by the attornay for the nomiual plaintiff, Kalloch, was evidence that the suit was not in the interest of the Deople, but was instituted for another purpose; therefare, the case should be dismissed.

Sherman on the subject of thy al contest I shell not say,” said Gen. Hancock, but he added earnestly: “My position in regard to that matter was well understood at the time, and has not changed sivce. I am of the opinion that Grant’s term as t ended st midnight, March 3d. After that I should have paid no more at- tentlon to hud officially thae I would to the man in the moon.

The intcoduction of this new focd h is & subject of great importanca to d commuatties, for there is no ditch, pord, mill-dam or any bo gy, muddy spot, which cin be convert- ed into a pond in which they wllnot thrive. Lhe carp belongs to the fami- ly of the cyprinidse, members of which are to bo found in ev.ry stream and pond in North America. The carp, however, is king of his tribe, and those who know do not to sy that, a8 food-fish, it ar excels the best of thom. They are divided into three groups: the scale carp, which wmost closely resewbles the original form, having scales like ordinary fishes, aud bas four thread like appendages or barbels under the chio; the mirror carp h s cxtraordinarily large scales, which run along the side of the body 1n three or four cows, the reat of the body being bare, and the ‘leath- er” or “naked carp,” which is almost destitute of scles, having only a few along the line of the back, and has & thick, soft skin, which is velvety to the touch. Both the latter varieties are said to bs much superior to the scale carp, which is best known, in flavor, hardness and adaptation to con- finement. It has been domesticated in Europe from time immemorial, baving been introduced many cen- turies ago from Central Asia or China, whera it is native. Carp soon become tame and eat from the hands of their keeper. Dr. Heesel handles those in the government pcnds as if they woro tame kittens, and says they eome to him when he whistles, Their fecundity is great. A fisk weighing four or five pounds lays 400,- 000 or 500,000 or more eggs, and one of ten or fifteen pounds, about 1,600,- 000. In middle Europe they spawn from May to August, and the breed- ing season apgears to be nearly the e R We bt Thelerlars sticky, and cling to plants and twigs, hatohing in from nine to eighteen days, according t> temperature. The actual rate of increase is very great, owing, in part,to the fact that the par- ents do not devour their youaz. The 120 fish brought to Washington two years ago_have increased to at least 20,000. Itis thus able t) populate a body of water to the fullest extent, aud, unlike the majority of American food fishes, their diet is larzely veget- able. By means of thess habils they aro harmless to other fishes inbabiting the same waters. The carp is adapted to very varied climates, aund will thrive under conditions unfavcrable to any equally polatabls American fish. It is very hardy in o1l stages of growth. In Euripo cirp are always taken to market :lise in tauks or bar- rels, and if they are not sold returned to the water alive at the eni of tte dsy. In cold climates they protect themselves from freezing in water by retiring in groups of 50 or 100 cr more into centers in the muddy bot- ¢ ms called ‘‘kettles,” where thoy pass the time till rpring huddled together, the posterior part of the body raised and held immovably, scarcely lifting the gills for breathing, and without taking a particle of food. This ab- stinence and torpidity lasts in cold countries six or even sevon months, and thus they can live out a very vig- orous winter. Ita growth fs very rapid. The normal weight to which the carp may attain in three yeors in Europe is an aversge of three to tbree and three-fourths pounds. ————— THE CELEBRATED Oval Steel Tooth Harrow Marafsctured by Db GROOT &G aPPINGS, Fon du Lac, Wis.
