A Monster ofthe Air-A very trauge Story
| Translated from FL Ferro Carril of Santiago
Chill. March I'll
Yesterday, about FIVE o'clock pm.
when every one had finished work at the
m inc (Garin mine), and the workmen il
group were awaiting their evening
meal, we saw coming through the air 9
gigantic bird, which, at first sight, We
supposed to be cloud surrounded by
the atmosphere, and divided from its
companions by chance current of air
As the object in question came nearer,
filling US with very natural feeling Of
surprise, we were able to note that il
was an unknown creature of the air-the
roe of the Thousand and one Nights u
perhaps, or possibly Leviathan of the
deserts. From whence did it come
Where was it going? It's direction was
from northeast to southwest; its flight
rapid and in direct line.
On passing a short distance, and over
our heads we were able to note the rare
structure of its body. Its great wings
were clothed with brown plumage. The
head of the monster was in shape similar
to that Of grasshopper, with enormous
eyes, wide open and brilliant as stars,
and covered with something like hair or
bristles; the body, lengthening itself like
that of serpent, was covered with bril-
liant scales, which emitted metallic
sounds as the strange animal moved itself
along.
Surprise resolved itself into a fear
among the workmen in the presence of
such a phenomenon. The whole stock
of pathological science possessed by
the good miners was in vain exhausted
to find the name and qualities of the
strange bird which had just passed with
out leaving sign. Some assert that in
those moments they perceived detesta-
on being burned. Others that their
sense was not offended by any unusual
odor. The supsrstitious believe that it is
the devil in person they have just seen
pass, while others recollect having been
q witness, some years ago, in the same
place, to the passage of similar mon
strous bird
As the whole affair is in the extreme
curious, we have thought it our duty to
communicate it to you, Withholding all
useless comment, for the truth is we can
not explain satisfactorily to ourselves
what we have seen for the first and prob
ably the last time in our lives. Can it
be possible that, 10 the desert of the
Cordilleras, nature pleases to give
life to those monstrosities, and rearing
them in solitude for many years, when
they have attained sufficient strength
they commence their fight through
space with no other object than that of
transporting themselves to other regions
where death masters them aud she earth
guards their skeletons to the confusion
of sages, who. on meeting them, believe
they have found antediluvian remains ?

Of public liberty.

recognized as a fact. ratified by binding con-

s. The investiture Of negroes with the right
Of suffrage, by the. Congress of the. United

oppressive, and tending to excite war. OF

to superiority snd supremacy in the admins

and any measure intended to deprive them of

8. The faith of the nation Is pledged to the

A New York paper propounds the follow :
ing legal question which must be puzzler
for that latitude though in Maine the wisdom
of our legislators has long since purged the
statute book of the anomaly: Glow is it that
a prisoner may call a witness his mother or
his daughter, his sweetheart or his sister, and
the jury will pay all proper attention. and at
tach all BETTING weight to the testimony but
no jury is allowed to hear one word which a
wife can say to establish the innocence of her
husband"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the report
that Mr.. A. I. Stewart is in Washington for
the purpose of persuadng General Grant to
decline in advance the nomination at Chicago,
is wholly false. The report has been contra
dicted by Mr.. Stewart himself
= Senator Henderson's reply to his ST. Louis
friend who wanted to know how he was going
to vote on the eleventh article of impeach-
ment, recalls the answer of the young lady
who was asked by an ancient gossip what re-
ply should be made to the frequent question
about her engagement TO a certain nice Young
man. "Say," replied that serene young per-
son, that you think you don't know and YOU
are sure it's none of your business"

THE abstract of Mr. Fessenden's review of
the articles of impeachment, which we print
this morning, shows conclusively that he will
vote for acquittal on every a rticle. While we
regret that he has been led to this unwelcome
conclusion and regard the continuance of Mr..
johnson in Office as a sore misfortune, we do
not forget that his removal would be only a
step towards the realization of the great ends
which the Republican party has in view, and
that those ends are still, though perhaps less
easily, attainable. 1t is lor the Senate to ACT
to-day; it will be for the people to act before
