LINES ON A KEG OF BRANDY.

Within these prison walls repose
The chattering tongue, the horrld oath;
. The fist for fighting nothing loath;
The passion quick no words can tame, q
That bursts like sulphur into flame;
The nose with rubies glowing red,
The bloatcd eye, the broken head
Forever fastened be this door
Confined within, thousand more
Destructive fiends Of human shape,
Even now are plotting an escape.
Here, only by cork restrained,
In slender walls Of wood contained,
In all their dirt Of death reside
Revenge that neer was satisfied;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit
OF murder, manning and dispute
Assault that innocence assails,
The images Of gloomy jails;
The giddy thought on mischief bent,
The midnight hour in folly spent;
All these within the cask appear,
And Jack the hangman in the rear.

ALLIGATOR SKINs.-Mr. J. w. Benedict Of
Galveston has manufactured some of the most
beautiful boots and shoes that we have ever
seen with leather made of Alligator SKINS
These skins are tanned and prepared so that they
resemble the finest calf skin in pliability, and are
beautifully motted, like tortoise shell. He in
tends to send pair Of boots to the Worlds
Fair in New York. He certainly merits pre-.
MUM for changing the skins of these huge ugly
monsters to forms of beauty and usefulness.

CAPTURE OF SEA TIGER.-Off Sands Point,
Long Island, on the 14th inst, there was cap
tured live sea tiger, weighing las pounds, and
measuring five feet two inches in length. When
discovered, it howed most piteously, and made
battle with dog, which he severely wounded.
This is considered by the Journal of Commerce
as most remarkable, as nothing of the species
had ever before been seen in that locality.

to six inches long, exactly like an enormous cat

its name denotes, it has along each side a row
of feet horney claws rather. Imagine that you
walk some night across your chamber floor,
with naked feet; you put your foot in a ring,
sticking every claw up to the body in your foot.
The poison flows through each claw, ard in two
minutes you will have tainted in agony in a
few more, and you will be dead. The deadly
thing cannot be torn away. 1t has TO be cut off,
and claw by claw picked out. Even if it crawls

out sticking in its claws, the place will pain the
person for years after-at least so have been

1t has often been asserted, and by some it has
doubtless been believed, that the Australian
gold mines were yielding far more gold than
those of California. This opinion probably may
have had its origin on the fact that the supplies
received in England were frequently stated in
tons of the metal, instead of being given in mon
ey count. Be that as it may, the late English
accounts correc! this error, and show that the
sum of the California gold is much ahead of that
of Australia. The last English papers fix the
Australia Weld at about $5,O00,O00 per month,
being 6O,OOO,OOO per year. This is good way
behind the California yield, although it is cer-
tainly very great sum, and one that alone,
would soon make itself felt thro out the world.
