SCENES IN BAHIA Along the quay at the
landing places the scene is original and nota-
bly, confused and varied. Here are for sale the
infinite variety of fruits, with huge punches
of golden bananas, miniature mountains of
oranges; fishing baskets; and curious and rude
implements of wood, and garments woven of
straw; big parrots and little parnoquets with
coats of softest and most delicate green; and
tiny birds with marvelously beautiful plum
age and feathers flashing and changing in the
sunlight. A thousand articles for use or
fancy are here for sale, and few of them such
as are ever seen in the markets of the Ameri-
can States. The sellers are striking speci-
mems of humanity, especially the women.
They are blacks-the Minas negroes-people
from the province of the Mines. They are
strong, tall women, of much muscular de-
velopment, black as midnight, heavy and
coarse in features, and with glossy, rough,
and kind of dlnted skin. They aIe dressed
in bright and fancy colors and wearing a
characteristic feature of dress, in the ample
and gracefully twisted turban of white gauze
with which they all adorn their heads.
The principal street of the lower town is
broad, paved with the familiar granite blocks
and lined with imposing buildings, devoted
to purposes of business for Bahia is one of
the chief cities of the South American CONT
nent, and place of much commercial i'm
portance. Here are seen the awkward heavy
wheeled carts, drawn by mules, and so bulky
as to admit of the carrying of only small
loads. There are only two or three streets
that lead to the upper town, and these are
crooked, quite narrow, and very steep. They
are lined with such buildings as you think
must have been common in Europe two GEN.
turies ago 1t is difficult matter to ascend
these streets unless one is used to it, andlso
we took "Cadeiras" for the purpose.
The Bahian CddeirG-for it is essentially
an institution of Bahia-is an excellent type
of the old, almost legendary East Indian pa
lanquin. It's bottom is fiat, oval shaped
footboard, to which are affixed upright rods,
one before and the other behind, supporting
a kind of ornamental, dome-like top, and
from this hangs curtains of dark blue tinsel-
trimmed cloth, that may be thrown open OF
closed as you please. There is a seat within
this affair, and having fixed yourself, with
care to preserve good balance, the chair il
lifted by two negroes, and by a pole which
runs through the top of the carriage, and the
ends of which rest upon the shoulders of the
men, you are carried along, but with Less
comfort than in any other affair of the kind
eyer saw. The sedan chair of China is in
fnitely more agreeable. Correspondence

The SATAN RoCKET.-We borrow the fol-
lowing account of this invention from La
FTd1ce:-''M l., the distinguished civi
engineer and chemist of the Rue de Londres
Paris, has just invented rocket which will
be a formidable engine of defense: he has
christened it the Fusee-Satan. We have seen
this rocket made, and we will endeavor to
describe it to our readers. To the end of an
ordinary rocket is attached very slight re-
ceptacle of tin, having exactly the shape of a
conical bullet In this receptacle is arranged
chamber filled with composition based,
we believe, upon sulphuret of carbon,
which composition once lighted
gives out considerable heat. A fusee
communicates from this chamber with the
top of the rocket. The tin bullet is filled,
Just before being used, with petroleum oil;
the lighted rocket rises in the air, and ira
verses the space necessary to arrive over
certain spot. Arrived above its object,
the rocket sets fire to the fusee, the compo-
sltion in the chamber of the bullet takes
light, bursts its envelope, and at the same
tune fires the petroleum, which falls like a
sheet of flame, and continues burning. This
sheet of flame fills space of 16 to 2l square
metres, according to the size of the rocket
No. l throws litre of petroleum; No. = .
litres; and No. B. 3 litres. They can be
thrown distance of 6 Kilometres and aimed
with great precision, being balanced by means
of long stick attached to each rocket, which
maintains the elevation given to it at the
time of discharge. Some interesting expe-
riments were made with this weapon, at Saint
Cloud, last month. In less than ten minutes
a considerable space of ground was covered
with sea of fire. A committee composed of
superior officers of artillery presided over the
experiments, and the general at their head
was appalled, by the terrible nature of this eu-
gine of destruction just imagine this sea of
fire falling upon the Prussian masses, burning
everything, setting light to the cartridges in
the soldiers pouches, and to the ammunition
vans of the artillery. Their rout would be
complete. The committee, in its report, has
declared, in it's opinion, no civilized nation
could make use of these rockets except for
reprisals, and it would be only in case of the
Prussians firing upon Paris with petroleum
bombs, such as they used at Strasbourg, that
the defenders of Paris should be entitled to
retaiate with the new rocket. However this
may be, the Committee of National Defense
has given the inventor a large building on
the Batignolles formerly girls schoo), and
has ordered the immediate manufacture, on
large scale, of Satan rockets"

THAT SEA SERPENT.

That old wandering Jew of the reptile
tribe, the sea-serpent has turned up in
mill-pond in Iowa, greatly to the annoyance
of the thrifty farmer who owns the surround
ing land. His dimensions are given to us by
somewhat indefinite standard of measure
ment, the report being that he is ''of the size
of stove-pipe." He glides about on the sur
face of the pond, gobbling up the ducks and
geese which may chance to be disporting
themselves upon its waters, and making occa-
sional excursions by land to the neighboring
hen-coops and pig. sites. The hideous old
monster has voracious appetite and appears
to have no diffidence in helping himself to
any stray edibles which happen to fall in his
way. Moreover, he bears a charmed life. All
attempts to slay him prove futile, and he will
doubtless continue to roam over the face of
the earth terror to those who go down to
the sea in ships, and an annoyance to the
rural populations when he takes his pleasure
trips to the mill-ponds of the interior.
crusade should be organized against this ubi-
quitous old humbug, to rid the world of his
presence, provided vulnerable spot can be
found in his picturesque carcass.
