The Devil Fish.

The large specimen of this rare sea monster,
lately captured in the harbor of Charleston, has
been preserved and mounted in the Museum of
Natural History of the college of that city, and
citizens now have the opportunity of seeing this
curious denizen of Southern waters, whose ex-
istence has been deemed fabulous even down to
our own time.
The sea-deyil or devil fish belongs to the car
tilaginous class of fish and to the family Of
raiidm or rays, good type or representative
OF which is the sting-ray, commonly called
stingaree by our fishermen.
Along the coast of the Atlantic States, but
especially in Southern harbors, numerous spe-
cies of the ray are found---the well known clam
cracker or eagle-ray, the whip-sting ray, the
priekly ray, the skates, and many others
The clam-crackcr attains q great size; we
have measured them five feet across the wings,
and are credibly informed that much larger
ones have been taken But none of them can
be said to rival the devil-fsh, either in size,
weight, muscular powers or curious form Hav-
ing body eight or ten feet long, a tail six feet
and not unlike large wagoner's whip; two
infiexible flaps or wings as long as the body.

latterly of Salem. He has been Senator of
this State, aud was a member of the late Com

MYsTERIoUs.-The N. H. Patriot says that
a wonderful excitement and conservation has
prevailed among the good citizens of the citv
of Concord, during few days past, ca used
by the discovery of the fact, that a large mum.
Der of the houses of the city are marked with
a peculiarly shaped pencil heroglyphic. These
marks have been attributed by many to rob-
bers and, rusty revolvers and fire. arms have
been furnished up and laid by the bedside rea-
dy for use in many quiet family. The Pat
riot explains the matter by stating that the
mysterious marks have probably been made
by sample pedlars, who adopt this method of
registering the houses which they have visit
ed. Nevertheless the Patriot may be wrong,
for singularly enough, some shrewd observer
has remarked that they have never been dis.
covered upon the houses or doors of Know
Nothings,

SYMPATHY.-" What is sympathy =" asked
Ike, who had not got very far in the humani-
ties. Mrs. Darlington was at the little white
pine table, busted with her Thanksgiving pics,
with her gown pinned up to festoo, behind,
that upholstery might in vain try to initiate,
and she stopped, short as the pie-crust she was
rolling out, to answer him. sympathy"
said she, sublimely holding the rolling pin in
her left hand, sympathy is that feeling that
enters into man and warns the cockeres of
his heart, and leads him to send round tur-
keys to bless the hearts and other IN ards of
the poor at Thanksgiving, God help 'em,
while those that have no sympathy act as if
there was a perdition wall between them and
everybody else, for whom the poor never says
God bless you" Ike was deeply engaged
with what she said-at the same time engaged
in trying the quality of the meat for the mince
pies Boston Post.

THE KNow-NoTHINos ON SLAVERY AND
TEMrERANoE.-The New York Tribune re-
CARDS the Know Nothing organization as hos
tile to anti~slavery and the Maine law. 1t
says
"The Know. Nothing array is destined TO
prove the deadiest foe of ti-slavery, tenn
perance, and every other reform movement;
and we see that the slave drivers are begin
ming to vie with the Union savers in hailing
the 'KnowNothing lodges as admirably suit
ed to their uses
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal Of Commerce, takes a similar
view. but without any alarm. He writes:
1.-The association will set their face against
sectional disputes, and promote a proper
American sentiment, serving to cement the
Union. They will do more good than harm
if they can control and overshadow the aboli-
ton organization in the North; and it is be-
lieved that they have done so, in great
measure, already"

REVELATIONS OF THE CENSUS. The New
York Times of Saturday cor tanned an inter-

than there are Shareholders in the whole coun-
try-as will be seen by the following figures
There are only 347 1925 Shareholders in the
United States, ofwhom only too own over one
thousand negroes, only nine own over five
hundred, only ffty-sfr own over three hun

PRESERVATION OF GRAPES. - To preserve
them they should be cut before being entirely
ripe. Do not handle the berries reject all
damaged ones, then lay the grapes in stone
jar holding about thirty gallons. The mouth
shall be narrow, SO that the grapes will not
touch each other. Fill the spaces between
them with millet. Cover closely with stone
cover well fitted and cemented. Over this
paste thick paper, and let it be Theoretically
sealed so as to entirely exclude the air. In
this tight jar the grapes ripen fully, and ac-
quire flavor seldom attained by any other
method, and are preserved for two years in
the best condition.
