A Devil OF A FIsH.-Among the other
m~onstrosities and curiosities in the pis-
cutorial limo which have of late turned
up in San Francisco is ono of n new
species different from any ever before
caught in the Bay or adjacent waters.
The Alta Of the 10th instant thus de-
scribcs it at is called an angel fish
probably because it looks like the ID;
mankind are given to f~attery-and the
species, or something somewhat SINH
lar, is said to be common on the South
American coast. 1t is between three
and II half aud four feet in length, and
has a head something like that Of the
devil fish, but broader and ~fiatter,
slightly protruding eyes, lnrge nos'ril',
and a broad mouth like q bull-frog, or
an isuaua. The body is almost human
in its shape, the belly full and protrud-
ing, and the tail like that Of o sturgeon.
But the great curiosity about it is tho
arrangement of the fins. The largest
pair start out Of the shoulder, immedi-
ately back of the gills, and are each
about n foot in length, by the same
breadth, and resemble the wings OF a
vampire bat in shape. They do not re-
semble the fms Of an ordinary fish in
the least, but are really fms, not being
susceptible Of the peculiar movement
of the wings Of n bird. Back Of these
main wings or fms, there is a second
pair, which are more like fins than the
first, but still more like wings ,han fms
The skin is rough like that of a shark,
having no scales, the color Of tho back
an ashen gray, and the belly a light
flesh color. A more loathsome looking
monster We could hardly conceive, ana
ifit is, or ever was, an angel, it must
have fallen very low, very low, indeed.
We don't 'want tc be angel, and with
the angels stand if that is the way
they &c. 'em up. Seriously speaking,
the fish is a very great curiosity ana Is
well worth going to see."

General Grant and MI who fought un-
der him, and particularly abusing Veg
stein, n Republican, who, upon meeting
him again today in the bar-room, re-
quested Griffith to retract tho abusive
language Of yesterday, so far as related
to himself personally. Griffith refused
to r~ctract, and proposed to fight 1t out,
and started for q shotgun standing in
tho corner of the room but Wegstein
succeeded in getting the gun, where
upon Griffith made q motion as though
in the act Of drawing n weapon, when
Wegstein fred, the charge taking effect
in the abdomen Of his antagonist, who
fingered until about s o'clock, when he
expired. Wegstein gave himself up,
and is now in custody awaiting an ex-
animation.

TERRIBLE THoUGHr.-Men generally
do not believe the Bible is true. This
is n nation of baptized infidels. Love
mercy, do justly and walk humbly with
thy God. Who docs il? When hate OF
our fellow-men is in the heart, the love
of God is not there. He who says he
loves God, and hates his brother, is "
liar, and the truth is not in him. Do
unto others rs ye would that Others
should do unto you. Who does it?
The oppression of the poor is every.
where condemned in the Bible. Yet
thousands Of COMMITMENTS ut the 81
cred altar Of their God make their fur-
tunes by depressing Gods poor. Do
they believe the solemn declarations of
the Bible? No, never! If preachers
believed in the eternity of helPs tor.
ments, they would preach in earnest /;
they would live earnest. Terrible
thought Men generally do not believe
the Bible is true.

MILK, RAILROADS N BuTrER.-The
milk supply Of New York city comes
chiefly over tho Eric and Harlem rail-
roads. The Erie, however, brings the
largest quantity. The milk train on
this road runs out as far rs Portcrsrille,
a distance of seventy six miles from the
city, and gathers up on each trip at the
various stations about $500 ten gallon
cans, the transportation of which yields
q revenue to the road Of nearly 81 900
per day, and is probably the most profit.
able Of all tho fifty odd trains which
pass over the eastern division Of the
Erie. Orange County, through which
the Erie Road runs, famous for butter,
now sends the great bulk of its product
to this market in milk, and buys much
Of its butter for home consumption in
this city.-N. y. S~ioekhoiaer.

PoLrrIoAL wAaEns.-At the sCapital
Hotel, a day or two since, several gen.
tlemen, ardent supporters Of the Repuo-
licau and Democratic platforms, met,
and as o matter of course their CONVEX
sation was of politics, and nothing but
politics. AS they conversed, q ques.
ton as to what States Seymour would
probably carry arose. The Democrats
claimed on tho start q great number Of
those comprising the Union, but finally
agreed to bet $l75 to $500 that they
could name six States that would favor
Seymour and Blair with their electoral
votes. After retiring for consultation
with prominent members of their faith,
who can always be found about the
corner Of Seventh and K streets, the
Seymouritcs named the following as the
six upon which they had resolved to
stake their coin i: New York, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and
Oregon. A few weeks ago they claimed
California, but they've got over thai
now. Over $1,000 were put up az to
the result in the chosen six. A bet OF
5000 q side was made that Seymour's
majority in Kentucky would not exceed
40, 900. Another bot ofS300--loo on each
Of tho Pacific States-was also made.
A few days ago q gentleman of this city
purchased q span Of horses on these
conditions If Seymour carries Pennsyl-
rauia, tho sum of $500 is to be paid for
the team /; If Grant carries that State
there is nothing to be paid. Bets on Cali
f%ornia's going for Grant are hard to DC
obtained. There came near being one
yesterday, but it fell through. While
at the Park, Saturday, Major Elliott,
Assistant Adjutant General Of the State
Militia, volunteered to bet $500 on Sey-
mour's success in this State. T. s.
Hurts agreed to take the bet, and each
party put up $40 forfeit, the whole
amount TO be mado good yesterday
morning. The parties met n 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, in the Adjutant
Generals office. Each produced $3.50
and the stakeholder laid down the $40
previously put in his hands as forfeit.
Somewhat to tho surprise and disgust
of Harris, who was anxious to bet, FL
lott backed down completely in fact,
his ~retrograde movement was so rapid
that he forgot, as be picked up and put
away his $3.50, and the $50 previously
staked, that the latter was forfeited

"DELuDED SOULS" Erc.-The Couu-
ty ticket nominated yesterday by the
Democracy is a pretty fair n in many
instances, and under other and more fa-
vorable auspices we would like to see
some Of them win. Our fricuds among
them have our heartfelt sympathies in
view of the absolute defeat which awaits
them. The best they a do under the
circumstances i, not to worry them
selves working, politically, and spend
as little money in the arrangement as
possible. 1t is gratifying to be honored
with the nomination, but they have no
more show to win than o cat in hell
without claws.

QUARrz SPRcIMENs.-Mr. W. A. Ball has left
With Us a number OF specimens of quartz, taken
from the different leads at Warren's Camp. The
specimens are all very rich, the precious metal
being readily traced by the naked eye. All the
etges, as far as opened, promise well, and had
hey the requisite capital it is believed these
nines would rival Washoe. They have now at
work in the camp a ten-stamp mill and fve>
stamp mill. There are also some eight or nine
egsastras, that are being worked to advantage,
although thus far they have experienced great
tGculty in saving the gold aud silver. New
aud Improved machinery is required for this
Purpose. As showing the Disadvantages under
