If it should happen, however, that
JAcKsoN's name was ever source Of
dread to any of these gentlemen, the
knowledge that lie is harmless now
would be very opportune in inviting
such timorous souls to . sturdy assault
upon his popularity.
After all, we probably should not blame
these frontier patriots for aiming at
the character, the blows which they
feared to direct toward the man. If any
men have reason to be alarmed at
tho portraits Of ancient foes they
undoubtedly have. "Shadows' once
"struck terror to the soul of Richard" 7"
and while consciences are as guilty, so
long will they be rs cowardly rs his.
Doubtless, too, this outburst of enmity,
is the result to some extent Of force of
habit. Having privately id tho
pictures" of these rebels, for several
anxious years, it is but natural that the
same spirit should, when opportunity
offers, hurl at the photographs of trail
tors a ponderous pile Of legislative
curses.

The Sea Serpent Captured mud Gagged

ne sea ScfRCht "AA
The Tonloanais gives an account OF
the capture Of great sea serpent ON the
coast of France on the 22d of December,
which, it says, can be vouched for by
pretty nearly the whole population of
the town. The specimen in question Is
about 13 feet in length, and was caught
on the line of some fishermen in the wa
tcrs of Cape Cepet. 1t was brought up
by the captors, while yet living, to the
Boulevard do la Riviere, in: Tonlon, and
and there was visited by crowds of per-
sons during the greater part of the day.
1t was stretched across number OF
casks which lay opposite to NJ. Lavene's
distillery, and which is close to the
boulevard. The body is perfectly cyl
indrical, and is about Al inches in diam
eter, terminating in short point at the
tail. Its color is q uniform deep gray
Oh the upper part, and beneath is of a
yellowish white. 1t has no fins nor
scales, nor is there any projecting bone
OF nOTu III any pant IL Soioi ~ i"N''
resembles the cOnger, but could never
be mistaken for that fish, for in these
seas the latter never attains to u great
er length than about six feet or so, and
is, moreover, when of such size, fully
double the girth of the snake. The
great difference also is the shape and
aspect of the head; that of the snake is
fat and broad, and resembles the head
of huge viper; the jaws, armed with
powerful fangs, are elongated, reaching
to the length of about eleven inches,
and terminating in sharp angle. The
eyes, which are remarkably bright, are
surrounded by fine thread of a flaming
red color. The discovery of this snake
for snake there can be no doubt it is,
if the description be accurate-is one of
highly interesting character; but 1t
must not be considered as a proof of the
existence of such monster as has been
described as the great sea serpent. OF
the existence of this creature there is
doubtless . certain amount of evidence,
but not as yet sufficient to satisfy the
.sceptical minds Of many of the best
known naturalists. 1t may be argued
that the Mediterranean serpent being
thirteen feet in length, the serpent OF
the Atlantic may be larger in proper
tion to the greater size of his ocean
home

Pr.np, and Rmeient Action.

We dislike exceedingly that indis-
criminate style of commendation of
public officials in which some journals
are in the habit of indulging. We
think that when an officer is negligent
or inefficient, his faults should not be
concealed, and that when he is attentive
to his business, faithful, vigilant and
active, he does no more than his duty,
and has no right to expect special en-
comium. At the same time, there
may be many exceptions to
the latter clause of the rule,
and when such occur, it is but pure
justice that they be noticed. 1t is with
pleasure that We recognize and record
such an exception, in the prompt arrest
of the parties charged with the high
handed outrages committed on Sunday
night, an account of which will be
found in our local columns. The Offend
ers in this instance, it will be seen,
took more than the usual precautions
to escape, and without extraordinary
exertions, their capture would have
been extremely improbable. The best
proof of the vigilance exercised isfound
in the fact that the depredators we're
arrested on yesterday, nearly an hun
dred miles from the scene of their out
RACES and were last night lodged in Jour
county Jail. In according to Mayor
SWEENEY especially, and to his subordi-
mates, that public recognition oftheir
services which they have merited,we but
perform al act of justice which
will be approved by every man who
has an interest in the good order and
efficient government of the city. The
certainty Of detection and punishmens
is the surest guarantee that the laws
will be obeycd, and the instance we
have cited will go far to prove that evil
doors have little hope of escaping their
deserts while our city government re-
mains under its present management.

The quality of wool is tested by tax
ing o lock from the sleeps back, and
placing it on a surface representing an
inch in length. If the spirals count
from thirty to thirty-three in that space
the wool is equal to the finest "Elector-

ferior accordingly as it takes lesser
number to fill up the same space.
