a Veritable Mermaid on its Way TO the
United States.

Francis Hall, late Mayor of Elmira, is
now travelling in China and Japan
While he was waiting at Hong Kong for
the vessel to sail on which he had taken
passage for Shanghai, lac embraced the
opportunity of writing a letter, from
which we are permitted to take the fol-
lowing description of mermaid, which
be had just seen. We had supposed the
animal was myth" and had no exist
encc outside of Bamum's Museum. Mr..
Hall says it is verify;
"HoNG KoSG, Sept. 26, 1850
al had an opportunity, by our delay,
of seeing a mermaid, direct from Japan.
There is something exceedingly curious
and interesting about this nondescript
animal. | never saw Barnum's Feiee
mermaid, which it is said came from IIol
land, to which place it had been imported
from Japan. IIildreth, in his history OF
Japan, speaks of the mermaid as one OF
the Japanese manufactures, giving Japan
as the origin of Barnum's mermaid
The mermaid which | saw last week was
brought quite recently from Japan by
Mr.. King, of Hong Kong, in whose pos.
session saw it. Ii was in glass case,
that enabled me to see il with the great
est ccarness, though could not handle
it. This mermaid is eighteen or twenty
inches long. The fish part of the body
is about the proportion of a trout that
would measure that length. 1t has a
dorsal, lateral, and ventral fn--two Of
the latter; and the tail is of size and shape
Ike any of our common well known fish
joining to the fish body, little back oil
where the gills are usually situated, is
the animal portion of the body, being re-
lativcly one third the whole length.
''This animal third consists of head
in shape, size, formation of eyes and nose
number form and position of the teeth
like q monkeys; of long, slender neck
of chest, having a sternum and severa
distinct prirs of ribs. 1t has long, ape
like arms, terminating in five fingers, o
which the middle one is the longest ant
largest. On the load and body, above
the fishy portion, are here and there spots
of fur remaining, like the fur of monkey
in length and texture, Of brown color
The closest scrutiny that can be giver
to reveal any traces of the union of tho
animal and fishy parts. Psychologist
tell us thar such union is impossible
and of the medical and other experts VIII,
have examined this monster, some, bafflec
to discover by eye.sight any deception
simply rest on this dictum, and Others
admit that nothing but dissection cal
really settle whether this be most in
gcnious fraud or a lHsas nature For my
own part, must confess | can see nj
trick, though it may be one. 1t is per
feet staggerer. | should have said, il
addition, that this mermaid is shortly t
90 to the United States. The Japanes,
say that it came from lake in the in
terror. This is new as TO their locality
During my stay in Japan l shall MAKE
this a subject Of special inquiry, and pro
cure one or more specimens, if possible
TO do so.

GEO. G. BATES

K&%G Government has lost million of
dollars on the mail contracts, through
the failure of the House of Representa-
tives to organize. This is all owing to
the obstinacyof the Democratic minority,
who not only will not allow the Republi-
can candidate for Speaker to be elected,
but absolutely refused to vote for Mr..
Gilmer, though he owns more slaves than
any Democratic member of the House of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
1t is little singular that the Traveller
should hold the democratic minority"
responsible for the failure of an election
Of Speaker. Wouldn't it be as well to
say that the Black Republicans are re-
sponsible, since they persist in forcing
upon the House their candidate, Sher-
man, who has endorsed Helpers plan to
refuse all association, either politically or
socially, with Southern members? Again,
can't the Traveller throw little-iust a
little--of the responsibility on the TWEEN
ty.two South Americans, or the dozen or
m ore members who have uniformly scat
tered their votes? Moreover, it is not
Just the thing TO hold a minority rcspon-
sible for the acts, or failure to act, of a
legislative body. The Traveller, too,
very well knows, that any loss to the
government which may arise on mail con
tracts, is Justly chargeable to the Black
Republicans at the last session of Con
gress, who, under the lead of Mr.. Galusha
Grow, succeeded in defeating the Post.
Office Appropriation bill, with view to
compel the President to call an extra
session, embarrass the government fnan.
ces as much as possible, and then accuse
the Democratic party OF wastefulness and
extravagancc? Why can't the Traveller
give its readers the truth?

The Non-OrganiyntiOn OF the
MOIuSe.

This day closes the fifth week OF the
session of Congress, and the contest for
Speaker does not seem nearer termination
than il did,at the commencement The
responsibility rests somewhere, and it
ought TO be fixed in the mind of the coun-
try where it belongs.
1t certainly does not rest upon the
democratic members. We say that it
rests upon the black republicans. Had
they, having plurality Of the House, put
forward for Speaker gentleman who
was not, by reason of his antecedents, of
fensivc to the Representatives ola whole
section of the Union-had they put for
ward gentleman who had not endorsed
the Helper book, but who was moderate
in his politics-had they put forward
Gov. CoRwIN, of Ohio, instead of JONI
SHERMAN, of the same State-we have no
doubt the House would have been organ
lied within the first ten days of the SEES
sion. Should they now put forward Gov,
CoRwIN or some other gentleman with
some little odor Of nationality, we have
no doubt the House would be organized
in a day. Now does not this state OF
facts fix the responsibility of non-organi-
cation upon the black republicans
Ought they not, if they have any real
regard for the suffering interests of the
country-if they have any regard for the
hundreds of mail contractors who arc
waiting for an appropriation which is due
to them-ought they not, we say, to con
cede something in the matter Of the par.
ticuar man who shall fill the Speaker:
chair? Ought they not to change of
JOIN SHERMAN for some man who is less
obnoxious than he to the members ofbotl
parties from the South? Is it time t
push extreme men? What is the matte,
with Gov. CoRwIN? Why will not he
do? Why will not some gentleman dc
who has not endorsed the Infamous doc
trines Of HELPER's book?
We cannot foresec the end of the con
test, but, however long it may last, The
country will hold the black republican
party responsible for the delay. = Ere

l lifted high thu exptring match and by
Its last ray, 1 saw human face
In frenzy of impotence, tried the
few remaining matches, in vain the last
one was in my hand il burned only for
an instant; but IN that instant, holding
1t directly even with the body, | rccog-
nized the dead, pale, but unchanged face
ofmy poor, lost brother Henry
i was again in darkness with the dead
body and my phrcnzied thoughts. After
a time resumed fiercely my work at the
rock, \ few blows loosened it a few
'more and the large mass rolled inwards
and from assure in the rock which lay
behind it, came in narrow streak of
light. | was all but mad, or 1 would not
have had sufficient strength 10 effect my
purpose.
BY the aid of my ox-shoe I soon in
creased the hole till it was large enough
TO admit nay head. Ny shouts soon
brought assistance from the works, to
which had supposed, l was near and
soon FROM that fearful tomb were drawn
the living and dead bodies.
No one knew me till / spoke. The
body of poor Henry had been petriied.-
That he had been killed by the fall was
evident, and had never moved from the
ridge oSwhich he fell never entirely
recovered from the effects of the salt
which left my eyes and nose constantly
red, aud rendered my flesh ever after sim
liar to corne1 pork.
y. B.-There are MANY dull minds, III
which the wonderful is always confound-
ed with the fictitious, and many such OF
my acquaintance have maintained that
the scene of my adventure was the eel
lar offs neighboring distillery, often Wis
S.eS by all my family, embellished by a
heated fancy or an incipient delirium,-

STEAM on COMMON RoADs-We learn
from the Practical Mechanics Journal that
Messrs. j. Whitman Il Sons, Leeds, En-
gland, have recently constructed and
shipped for San Francisco, one of Bar
rams traction engines for common roads;
to be re-shipped from thence around Cape
St. Lucas, through the Gulf Of California,
and up the Colorado River to Fort Puma;
from whence it goes inland some thirty
miles to the borders of the Great Desert
It's purpose is to travel sixty miles back
and forth across this desert, carrying lis
own water, and conveying ore from and
provisions to the Mariposa copper mines
n work hitherto and at present done by
half-breed Mexican Indians. It drew
thirty-fve tons of pig iron and 120 men
at the rate Of five miles per hour on Q

cording to announcement, on Monday fif-
teen young ladies of this city, accompan-

DpaNEss.-Reports reach us from near
ly oil the numbering institutions and firms
in this and Huron county. From these
we learn that there is larger business
doing tho present winter than there has
been for several years past. At all the
mills the logs are being tumbled in as
fast as possible. The sleighing is good
and the snow not deep enough to hinder
in the least the operations in the pinerlcs
The snow here is only about five inches
deep; further north there is more. Re-
port says that in Huron county they have
IRON ten to fifteen inches. There rs now
much more life aud stir all along the lake
shore than there was before snow fell, and
there is a corresponding shortening up OF
the visage among our business men gener-
Jsfecsos'aa.

to be scientific preparation and adapted in all its
component parts and whole, for use in the eases
which it is recommended We know too, that Mt
least one practising physician, n man of thorough
science and who knows the composition of the medi-

presses and has accordingly used it in his practice
