q colored speaker, ~expatiating upon gov

came to a period" from the highest and

A Rival OF TIVE SEA SEnrnT.-ne Silver

"For two nights past, v We've
and one o'clock, ] have noticen "om my
window looking out upon the Seine, a great
mass moving in the river. The rapfdity
with which is ascended the current. strong.
A.. vou are aware. between Point Neuf and
the Pont.au Change, convinced me that 1t
could not be a swimmer. The apparstion
puzzled me, and last night when it reap
reared.I descended to the bank not far from
the 5ateau Jroyenr and called out Psir Psa'
Then | cav the object, which believed to
be a man, turn and advance rapidly, very
rapidly, towards me. Instinctively ] fell
Jack to the bateau t~royeur, and from that

a crocodile on all four, apparently fifteen TO
eighteen feet long. and q body twice as
large as a mans. hastily assembled to the

stones at him, one of which struck him in

him. watched him to Pont-au-Change
where l lost sight Of him.
The communicated from which the above
is an extract, is signed by n. Trefault. A
citizen Of Vitry-the Seine has also written a
letter upon the subject, in which he says
''Ten persons at least, at Vitry, affirm the
presence of the monster" '
He 1.-THE cruel crocodile,) has devoured a
dog in the presence Of his (the dogs . mast

lous concerning the crocodile.

A BRAVE UNcLE-A correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Post relates the following touch
ing incident:
"As We left Pittsburgh in the cars, we
observed a small boy named Stitt, about
twelve years Of age, poorly clad, but very
intelligent. having with him an infant ten
months old, the child of his sister, who
died a few weeks ago. The lad had brought
the infant from Iowa City, where the
mother died, and was On his way to Harris
burgh. The young uncle had cared for and
nursed it all the way-weighty charge for
one so young. 1t would not, perhaps have
been 90 much remarked had a young girl
been the custodian ofthe orphan babe; but
here was a mere boy putting away childish
things, and assuming all the cares and re-
sponsibility Of a parent, during a tourney of
a thousand miles at least. The passengers
manifested the greatest interest in the little
wayfarer and his charge. the ladies especial
ly in turn relieving the lad Of his burden, as
he appeared to be almost exhausted with
his long journey. Such constancy and
manliness in one of such youthful years is
not often exhibited, and certainly we'll de-
serves the name of heriosm."

HEAT AND lee IN TURIN.-A sensible license
of dress is permitted in Turin, and people
walk about in straw hats of all colors and
forms, in linen coats and light garments of
all kinds, which, in London, Paris, and even
in that pretentious little bakehouse of a
capital, Madrid, would be voted incorrect
and almost shocking. The abundance of
ice is also a help to preserve humanity from
melting, or at least to refresh it when under
the process. There are great pans or ponds
round Turin, which are filled with pure
water, with the express view of its CONVEX
sion into ice-a conversion winter ~obliging-
ly a~ccomplishes free of charge. To see the
quantities which. for months, were, day af-
ter day, brought into town, one would i'm
agine that the whole of Turin had an under
ground floor of ice houses.
The price is exceedingly low; the ven
ders do not condescend to weigh it, but give
a huge block for two or three sous. Gene
rally speaking, it is perfectly clean. and as
transparent as crystal. 1t is cheap enough
to be in common use among the poorer class
es, and one sees fruit women eating their
dinner by their stalls with a gre chunk of
ice in their drinking jugs. The evenings
are, until 10 or IL o'clock, nearly as warm
as the days, and the demand for frozen
drinks in the cafes is something prodigious.
