MYSTERIOUS Music ON THE GULF SHoRE-THE
MNsTRELs OF THE DEEP.-The mystic music
sometimes heard at the mouth Of the Pascagoula
river, on a still night is one of the wonders of
our coast 1t is not confined, however, TO
Pascagoula river, but has often been heard al
other places. At the mouth of Bayou Coz d'inde
and other inlets opening into the Gulf along the
coast of our own country, the curious listener,
lying IDLY in his boat, with lifted oars, when
every other sound is hushed, may sometimes
hear its strains coming apparently from beneath
the water, like the soft notes of distant Eoian
harps
We had always supposed that this phenom-
enon, whatever its origin might be, natural or
supernatural, was peculiar to our own coast. 1t
appears, however, from an extract given by some
OF the English papers from Sir Emerson Ten
nents recent work on Ceylon, that something
very like it is known at Battialloa, in that
island, and is attributed 10 rather less poetical
and MYSTERIOUS origin-that it is to a peculiar
species of she'll fish. They are said to be heard
at night, and most distinctly when the moon is
nearest the full and are described in terms that
correspond very close with the accounts given
OF the Pascagoula music by those who have
heard it. But, according to the same authority,
it is only in Ceylon that this submarine music is
heard. Sir Emerson says
Sounds somewhat similar are heard under
water at some places on tie western coast Of
India, especially in the harbor of Bombay. At
Caldera, in Chill, musical cadences are said to
issue from the sea near tho landing place they
are described as rising and falling fully four
notes, resembling the tones Of harp strings and
mingllng like those at Battialloa, till they pro-
duce musical discord of great delecacy and
sweetness. The animals from whence they pro
cecd have not been identified at either place,
aud the mystery remains unsolved, whether those
at Battalloa are given forth by fishes or mul-
luSks.-.HObHe Tribune.

THE following racy burlesque is from the pen
of "Artemus Ward,n of The Cleveland Rlain-
dealer:
There are several reports ahoat as to how
" Honest Old Abe" received the news Of his
nomination, none of which are correct We give
the correct report
The official committee arrived at Springfield
at dewy eve, and went to Honest Old Abe's
house. Honest old Abe was not in. Mrs, Honest
Old Abe said Honest Old Abe was out in the
woods splitting raiis So the official committee
went out into the woods. where, sure enough,
they found Honest Old Abe splitting rails with
his two boys. 1t q grand, q magnificent
spectacle. There stood Honest Old Abe in his
shlrt-seeyes, a pair of leather home made sus-
penders holding up a pair of home made pan
falcons, the seat Of which was neatly patched
with substantial cloth of different color. Mr..
Lincoln, sir you've been nominated, sir, for the
highest office, sir" ooh, don't bother me, ="
said Honest Ole Abe, took stent this mornin'
to split three million rails afore night and don't
want to be pestered with no stuff about no con
vention till | get my stent done. I've only got
two hundred thousand rails TO split before sun
down. ] kin do it, if you'll let me alone" And
the great man went right on splitting rails, pay
ing no attention to the committee whatever.
The committee was lost in admiration for
few moments, when they recovered, and asked
one OF Honest Old Abe's boys whose boy be was
" Pm my parents boy" shouted the urchin,
which burst Of wit so convulsed the committee
that they came very near "gin'in eout" com
pletely. In a few moments Honest Old Abe
finished his task and received the news with per
feet self-possession. He then asked them up to
the house, where he received them cordially
lie said he split three million rails every day,
although in very poor health. Mr. Lincoln is a
j0via man, and has keen sense of the udicrous.
During the evening he asked Mr.. Evarts, of New
York, "why Chicago was like hen crossing the
strcetF Mr.. Evarts gave it up. " Because"
said Mr.. Lincoln, "Old Grimes is dead, that
good old man !" This exceedingly humorous
thing created the most uproarOus laughter. And
an evidence that he is statesman well as
a wag, it may be stated that during the evening
he profoundly observed that, Governments
were governed too much," and that au honest
man was the nOblest work Of God"

The PRESIDENCY BATTLE.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Bulletin wrote the following
We give it for what it is worth
Who the Richmond Convention will nominate
is not easy to divine. The game both of Douglas
and the South is to carry the election 10 the
House, where the friends of Douglas think money
and power enough can be brought to bear to buy
the votes needed to settle the question. Jefferson
Davis card is to prevent any election by the
House, In which event the President of the Senate
becomes President. Davis expects to be the
President OF the Senate, and thus to become
President OF the United States Under these cir
cumstances, the people of the Free States will be
compelled to choose this Fall between having
Lincoln for President, or Davis, of Mississippi,
the most dangerous srcessionist since the DAYS of
Calhoun. That Mr.. Douglas can win by any pos
sibility, do not think the least likely, although
the boldness with which he has fought his battle
has made him many warm supporters among
those who were originally his opponents

The undersigned desirous of quainng those no
he unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted, where's
permanent relief of their suerngs may be obtained feels
it his duty to thus publicly express his most sincere graft
ude to Pr L. j. Capkay for the permanent recovery of
ms health Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices roahe passion
in youth depressed in body and mind, unable to perform
even the most riing duty imposed by the daily
tions of life sought the advice of many ns who
at first regarded my disease of trinng porance hut
alas. after few weeks and in several instances months
of their treatment, found to my unut erabe horror
that instead of relief, my symptoms became
ing in their torture and being told by that my disease
being principally confined to the BRAIN medicine would be
of little consequence, despared of gaining my
health, strength and energy and last resort and
with but faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay, who,
after examining prescribed some medicine, which
almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness
in head Encouraged by the result resolved to place
myself under his and by strict obedience to all his
collected the constant pain in my back and groins tho
weakness of my limbs the nervous reaction of my whole
body on the slightest alarm excitement, the mis-
anthropy and evil foebodngs the sefdsrust and want
of confidence in others the ncapability to study aud
want of resolution the rghtful exciting and at times
peasurabe dreames by night followed by involuntary dis
charges have all disappeared and in fact in two months
after having consulted the Doctor felt if inspired BY
lethat life which, short time ago contemplated
to and with my own hand.
With view to guard the unforunat te from falling into
the snares OF incompetent quacks, deem it my duty to
offer this testimony to the merits and skill of Dr. Czapkay
and recommend him to all who may stand in need of med
cal advice being assured by experience that
under his care, radical and permanent will be
effected. f.. 81 b. F. FILLMORE.
