A Sea Monster.

A strange animal, killed near Easport,

during the past few weeks:
This animal, part fish and part beast,

dorsal fin, two side belly fns and broad
shark like tail. About one third Of its
length forms its tail, in connection with
small fms it has two huge legs, termi.

line o! Eve or six feet in length, the

are so famous that his fellow citizens

much tothc displeasure of " Poor Chase"
Poor Seymour was almost crushed when
it was announced that he was nominated
to the high Office, probably because he
had said that he should be dishonored if
he should accept their nominatihn. He
was alone in the ante-room when the re-
suit of the ballot was announced. Til

No doubt the Herald has hit the nail
on the head when it says that the demo-
cratic party has determined that Grant
should be the next Pres dent by putting
in nomination Horatio Seymour and
Frank Blair as the candidates of their
party. Time will show that this is logic.

THIRTEEN YEARS AGo.--In 1854,
Mr.. Buchanan was minister to England.
Capt. George b. Mcclellan was detailed
on secret service in the harbor of Cuba,
under instructions from the secretary of
war. Gen Qpitman, Lieut.. Beauregard
and others were plotting filibustering
raids against the Island, for which the
government soon after made an offer of
100000. Parson Brownlow had writ
ten savage work in defence of slavery,
and was challenging northern clergymen
to dispute its divine authority. Gerrit
Smith, DR.. Howe, Henry Ward Beecher
and few others were doing a quiet and
limited business over the underground
railway. John Brown had not yet left
his farm in the northern wild. An OBJ
scure individual, remembered by few
as having represented Sangamon district,
Illinois, in the House, and opposed the
Mexican war in an awkward, ingenious
and extremely unpopular argument, re-
ceived a few complimentary votes for
vice-president, in competition with Mr..
Dayton, the nominee. Capt. U. S. Grant,
hardly suspected of being an ex-army of
ficer by those who bought molasses or
cord-wood of him, was generally taken
as steamboat captain, temporarily
stranded by stress of i'll luck, or who
had hardly the energy and pluck to sue
ceed in business calling, and therefore
collapsed into speculator in sundrics.
w. T. Sherman was teaching school in
Louisiana. Gen. Sickles, Butler and
Logan were rough-and-tumble democrat
ic lawyers of some notoriety. Two of the
most prominent and promising officers of
our little army were Col. Albert Sidney
johnson and Lieut.. Col. Robert Z. Lee.

BACHELoRs.-TheR Romans Censors fire.
quently imposed taxes on unmarried men,
and men of full age were obliged by law
to marry, unless mentally or physically
disqualified. The Spartan women, at
certain games, laid hold of all the old
bachelors they could get their hands on,
and inflicted ON them every mark of in
fanny and disgrace, dragging them around
their altars and handling them very
roughly. In 1859 the English Parlia-
men laid tax on bachelors over twenty
five years of age of G12and 10 shillings
for duke which was graduated down to
a shilling for a common man. Uncle
Sam has been very leniont to his unmar-
ried nephews at all times, but he might
do good thing for the war debt by lay
ing a revenue and adcapitum tax on
them Just now. As this is Leap Year, if
the ladies use their privilege, old maids
and bachelors who are not already hard
ened and inveterate cases, will not have
even the ghost of an excuse for continu,
ing in a state of single blessedness."

How SETTLEMENT OUTGREw A
LAwYER.-A petifogging lawyer and
manager in new settlement in Wiscon-
sin gave missionary of the American
Sunday School Union the following ac-
count of Sunday School: l organized
the first Sunday School in this county,
and ran it myself one season. We came
in here early, all Americans. We want
ed to draw in decent, industrious FAM
lies, and to keep out all foreigners and
rowdies. So I said: "A Sunday school
will attract the folks we want, and keep
Others out. 1t will be the best and the
cheapest way to blow for the settlement
There was not one of us that pretended
to have one grain of piety; so they
pitched on me to carry out the plan. l
did so, and sent to your Society and got
library, and ran the school all summer.
1t did the blowing for us splendidly. Be-
fore SUMMER was ended, some Christian
families came in; and as they had bet
ter stock of piety, l gave over the Sun
day school to their hands. 1t was
grand thing for us. There wasn't for
eigner of any sort that ever stayed in the
settlement more than one night. We Sc
cured good American and moral settle-
ment. In fact, it got to be so pious that
1 couldn't live there myself"

GREELEY's lMPERTURABILITY.- Is
one of the peculiarities of Mr.. Greeley
never to be disturbed by personalities
that may be addressed to him by small
beer politicians, or persons who have fail
ed in inducing Mr.. G. to turn the circu-
lar stone that is accounted needful to
give edge to their little axe. Not long
since one Of these persons entered his pri-
vate sanctum to express indignation at
Tribune editorial. Mr.. G. was writing,
and though violently accosted, never
looked up. The irate politician roared
out: Horace Greeley, l charge you
with betraying the best interests of your
party. You are q secret foe to radical
ism. You do us more harm than you do
us good. Confound it, if you'd go over
to the democrats, body and soul, it would
be the best thing that you could do. You
stay with the republicans and stab them
in the dark You are the worst enemy
radicalism ever had in this country. 1
once thought you honest, though | knew
you to be fool. Now, I'll swear that
you are d scoundrel and an idiot" Here
he paused again for breath, as he had
several times before, expecting III. G., to
make some defence, or at least to reply
to the feroceous charges. But he was
disappointed. The veteran journalist
remained at his desk apparently uncon-
cerned, still scribbling at his editorial.
The politician attempted TO give vent to
another burst of indignation, but he was
so mad he couldn't speak, and altar q
splutter of epithets he hurried to the
door. The philosopher then lifted his
head for the first time, and called out
in his high, shrill voice: Don't go of
in that way. Come back and relieve
your mind. ."-Ha1per's Monthly.

ACCORDING TO THE RESOLUTIONS"
The Montgomery Ala.) Mail says the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted at recent missionary meeting
in one Of the colored churches in that
city;
Resolved, That We will give something.
Resolved, That we will give according
to our ability.
Resolved, That we will give willingly.
After the resolutions were read and ap-
proved and passed, leading member
took his sea: at the table, with pen and
ink, and put down what each came to
contribute. Many advanced to the table
and handed in their contributions, some
more and some less. Among the con-
tributors was an old negro, who was very
rich-almost as rich as the rest united.
He threw down small bill. Take
dat back again" said the chairman of
the meeting. dat may be 'cordin' to
de fust resolution but not 'cordin' to de
second. The rich old man accordingly
took it up, and hobbled back to his seat,
much enraged. One after another came
forward, and all giving moie than HIM
self, he was ashamed, and again threw a
larger bill on the table, saying, " Oar,
take dat" 1t was twenty-dollar green
back, but it was given with so much i'll
temper thatthe chairman answered, "No,
sab dat won't do Dat may be 'cordin'
to de fust and second resolutions, but not
'cordin' to de third" He was obliged
to take it up again. Still angry with
himself, he sat long time until nearly
all were gone, and then advanced to the
table, and, with smile on his counte-
nance, laid large sum of money on the
table. Oar, dat berry WE'LL" said the
presiding member "datwill do; dat am
'cordin' to all de resolutions"

CoIFAx's CoURTsHIP.-A friend of
Colfax gave me a glimpse of his early
courtship the other day. He met his
wife when they were both little children
at or near Fort Edwards, N. Y. They
played together, and the little girl Eve
line, when the Colfaxes were going away
said to Mrs. Matthews:
"Aunty, mayn't call you Ma like
Schuyler ?"
"Yes !p said Mrs. Matthews.
The young miss was then just begin
ming to write, and soon afterward she
wrote letter inclosing her love for
Schuyler. Their acquaintaneeshipnever
ceased. When Colfax had money enough
he built little one story house still stand
ing at South Bend, and then he went for
his playmate and brought her to his nest.
Many ladies in Washington knew Mrs.
Colfax, and they speak no. less of her
lovely nature than of her perfect faith,
happiness and pride in her young hus-
band. Now the steamboat, bearing the
name Of Schuyler Colflx," goes by the
little old house and the larger new one
but the house of one story is perhaps to
be the most revered when this man oi
luck comes at last to the narrowest house
of all.-CoT. Gin. Com.

FLAW HuNTERs-There are people
who have a preternatural faculty for de-
tecting evil, or the appearance of evil, in
every mans character. They have a
fatal scent for carrion. Their memory is
like museum at medical college, and
illustrates all hideous distortions, and
monstrous growths, and revolving disea-
ses, by which humanity can be troubled
and afflicted They think they have
wonderful knowledge of human nature;
| but it is a blunder to mistake the New
gate Calender for biographical diction-
ary.
A less offensive type of the same ten
dency leads some people to find appar-
ent satisfaction in the discovery and
proclamation Of the slightest defects in
the habits of good men. Speak to them
about man whose good works every
body admires' and they regret that he is
sorough in hismanner, orsosmooth that
his temper is so hasty, or that he so fond
of applause. They seem to hold brief,
requiring them to prove the impossibility
of human perfection. They detect the
slightest alloy in thepure gold Of human
goodness. If they hear an organ, they
find out at once which are the poorest
stops. If they listen to great speaker
they remember nothing but some slip in
the construction of sentence, or the in
consistency of q metaphor. While their
friends are admiring the wealth and beau-
ty of tree, whose branches are weighed
down with fruit, they have discovered a
solitary bough, lostin the golden aflluence,
on which nothing is hanging.
Poor Hazlitt was sorely troubled with
them in his time. Littleness," he said,
d" is their element, and they give char
acter of meanness to whatever they touch.
They creep, buzz, and fiy-blow.- Good
Words.
