FISH WITH LEGs.-We clip the fol-
lowing from The Pacyfc Commercial
AdcertiSer, of Honolulu
"a small fish with four legs was
caught in the harbor by a native, last
Monday morning, which IS certainly the
most singular specimen of natural histo-
ry we have ever observed. 1t is little
larger than frog, about three inches
long, and its feet, which are evidently
used for walking on the bottom of the
sea or for swimming, are webbed like
ducks foot, or perhaps a seals. In
shape it resembles the short sun-fish
pictured in natural histories, and has
two teeth quite prominent. 1t has a
dorsal fin and also tail. Its color is
dark brown with spots. We have
noticed in the United States papers that
Prof. Agassiz has lately received from
the California coast fish with four legs
As no description of that is given, we
can form no idea whether this resembles
that one. 1t can be seen at DIR. Judd 5
drug strore."

UThe people of Ascension Island,
Micronesia, have recently been visited
again by one Of their idol deities. His
arrival has caused an intense excite
ment among the inhabitants, who ap
appear to have full faith in him, and
none Of them dared to enter the house
where he was reported to be. Messrs.
Sturges and Done, American Missiona-
ries there, being invited to pay His
Majesty visit, passed the sacred bar
rier of mats, entered the holy precinct,
sat down on the throne, and after some
conversation, detected his worship so be
woman in a mans clothes. They
then demonstrated with the god for SO
deeeiying the people, (many of whom
were in the same room, but the insulted
Dirinity Immediately replied to them by
calling for gun, which was not forth
coming. When at last they, in order
to expose the imposter, threw down the
mat enclosure, the natives shut their
eyes and scampered.'

Hoe out Your Row"

ONE lazy day, farmers boy
Was hoeing out the corn:
And moodily he listened long,
To hear the dinner horn.
The welcome blast was heard at last,
And down he dropped his hoe;
But the good man shouted in his ear,
My boy, hoe out your row!"
Although 'hard one was the row,
To nse ploughman's phrase,
And the lad, as sailors have it,
Beginning well to ''hazc"-
81 can = said he, and manfully
He seized again his hoe,
aud the good man soon smiled to see
The boy hoe out his row.
The lad the text remembered,
And proved the moral well,
That perseverance to the end,
At last will nobly tell
Take courage, man resolve you can,
And strike vigorous blow;
In Life's great field Of various toll,
Always hoe out your row.

BEARS IN MARIPosA.-The Mariposa
Democrat of Oct. 29th., in speaking of
the predatory excursion of the bears on
Mount Bullion, says /:
"For the last week they have been
paying nightly visits to Mr.. Steigman's
hog pen, making night hideous with the
cries of bacon. They have set several
traps for those nocturnal pests, but have
as yet been unable to capture any of the
grizzlies, The first night on which the
trap was SET one grizzly got into it, but
his lordship succeeded in tearing away
and making good his retreat The sec
ond night the adventurous beast took
away the bait without falling into the
trap. But let them look out in the fu-
ture, for the miners are plotting for their
destruction in all quarters. Mr.. Steig-
mans hog-pen is near the store; but the
presence of man serves not as means
Of intimidation, and the only way to get
rid of them is to increase the strength of
the traps and capture them. The hogs
are always on the watch for their enc
mics, and as soon as they mind them,
they begin to squeal alarmingly. They
have destroyed some six or eight during
the last few days, and if not caught,
they will not rest satisfied until they
clear out the pen. The hogs, which
they do not kill, they wound in SO shock
ing manner that it is rendered neces-
sary to kill them to relieve them from
suffering.

GBe Me6aoa gonrnal.

bhObEhlCh l. hOStEC IS.-lLs- HAS
generally been conceded in this vicinity,
since the election, that Broderick is sure
to be one of the United States Senators
to be chosen by the next Legislature.
Some have gone so far as to express
confidence in his ability through his ad-
herents of debating who shall be his col
league. It is reported that on recent
visit, Broderiek himself spoke in san
guine terms of his prospects to admirers
hereabous, and it is evident that the
Gwinites felt certain of his power, or
they would not have been so condescend-
ing ON late occasion
According to the showing of "an un-
wavering Democrat" in the Union Of
the 22d, Broderick, after ali, is indebted
more tor MS exalted position in expec-
fancy, to adulation and braggadocia on
the part of his friends, than to any real
strength he may have in the Legisia-
tnre. The facts produced are strongly
in favor of the position assumed by the
writer-that Broderick was essentially
repudiated at the ballot box by the
Democracy at the late election, and that
wherever, by his management, his par
tizans were nominated for office, they
syere almost universally defeated, while
Democrats of another stripe running on
the same ticket were successful. This
was especially the case in Sierra, Yuba,
and Sacramento. In San Francisco,
Broderick's stronghold, his planning
lost the county to the Republicans, and,
in fact, in almost every instance where
Broderiekism was represented strongly
iu county nominating conventions, the
Democrats have almost invariably failed
to elect their candidates.
"Unwavering Democrat" counts as
the entire strength of Broderick in the
Senate, perhaps, tire, out of thirty-three
members, and not more than twenty in
the House, out of eighty. How far his
computation may be correct, we are not
at this time able to say. He has fallen
into an error in regard to this county,
and nay be at fault somewhat in count
ing Broderick men elsewhere. He is in
error in saying that no legislator in this
county are suspected of Broderick pro-
clivities before the election. 1t is well
known that Cassin is, and has been an
out and out Broderick man, but the di-
minished ajority he received may be
taken as an index of Democratic senti-
ment in this county, and will go to
strengthen, to some extent, the PROPOSE
ton of the writer of the unpopularity of
such proclivities, though another vote is
added to the strength of that faction in
the Legislature.
From the phase given to matters
senatorial by the writer in the Onion, it
looks exceedingly dubious for Broderick,
and inclines us to believe what is de-
clared, that his friends are playing a
desperate game of brag on very small
capital. But, we shall see what we
shall see

WHAT ARE CoNSoLs ?-Every one
who reads the accounts of the European
money markets, no doubt, desires to
know what "consols" are and here we
have the thing correctly explained, we
know not by whom
"They are per cent, English stocks,
which had its origin in an act of the
British Parliament, consolidating (hence
the nancy several separate government
stocks into one general stock, called in
the act, Consolidated Annuities,' and
commonly quoted, for brevity, as scon-
soils When the consolidation took
place, the principal of the several funds,
thus merged, amounted to f9,137, ,S2l +;
but, by the funding of additional and
subsequent loans and parts of loans into
this stock, it amounted, on the 9th OF
January, 1886, to 1856, 76S,25S. Since
that period, only one loan has been
raised, that for compensation to the
West India planters, on the emancipa-
ton of the slaves-920,000 0,000-and a
few millions have been paid off. The
total at the present time, is between
three hundred and seventy and three
hundred and seventy-fve millions. This
stock, from its amount and the immense
number of its holders, is more sensitive
to financial influences than any other
and is, therefore, the favorite stock fol
the operations of spectators and job
bers. Its dividends are semi-annually.'

BIRTH OF NEW LANDs.-Every now
and then we hear of some new land,
fresh from the hands of the Creator, and
destined for ages so distant that human
knowledge cannot forsee them. Lava
streams that. have flown from restless
craters deign at last to cool, and life
takes possession of them. Thus, is the
still hot lava of Mount Etna the Indian
fig is planted largely by Sicilians, to
render those desolate regions capable of
cultivation. 1t strikes its strong, well
armed roots into the assures of the
black, fiery mass, and soon extends them
into every crevice of the rock. Slowly,
but with ever increasing force, the ten
der fragile fibre then bursts the large
blocks asunder, and finally covers them
with fertile soil and luxurient yege-
tation. AT other times vast tracts of
sea-bottom are dyked in and drained;
a thousand varieties of MOSES gradually
fill it up, and form, by their unceasing
labor, rich vegetable mould for plants
of larger growth. OR truly new lands
are suddenly seen to claim place upon
our globe. An earthquake shakes a
continent and upheaves the mighty
ocean, until cities crumble into ruins, and
the proud ships of man are engulfed in
the bottomless depths of the sea. But
the earthquake rolls away, the storm
RACES itself to rest, the angry pillows
subside, and the holy calm, which is the
habitual mood of nature, is restored as
if it had never been broken. Only
where yesterday the oceans mighty
swell passed freely, there to-day an
island has risen from the bosom of the
deep. Vast rocky masses suddenly
raise their bare heads above the boiling
waters and greet the heavens above
Such was the origin of Sfr3muoli, of St.
Helena, and of 7 nnristan d'Acunha. Or,
the busy host of corals, after having
built for thousand ears the high ram
na.,ts n,a.-ts OF their marvellous rings, at last
rise to level with the surface; they
die, having done their duty in the great
household of nature, and bequeath TO
man a low, fiat. circular island, which
now first beholds the sweet light Of day
above the dark waves Of the ocean,
Then comes ether hosts of busy servants
of the Almighty, to do their duty. A
soft, silky network of gay, bright colors,
hides, after few days, the nakedness
of the rock. 1t is moss of the simplest
kind we know, consisting of single cells,
and wondrously short-lived. 1t dies
and disappears, leaving apparently no
pereeptible trace behind it; still, it has
not lived and labored in vain. A deli
cate, faint tinge, and a little more is left
behind, and in that mere shadow of
things gone by lies the germ Of a future
mighty growth. Years pass on, and
the shadows grow darker; the sports
begin to run together, and then follow
countless hosts of lichens, kind Of
humble MOSES, which the great and
pious Linn@us touchingly called the
bond-slaves of nature, because they are
chained to the rock on which they grow,
and after death are buried in the soil
