THE STRANGE WREcK.-A dispatch to the Alta
under date of Los Angeles, October 4th, says
that an advance party of four persons from San
Bernadino have left for the purpose of visiting
the famous wrecked ship on the Colorado desert,
near Los Palmos Station. The ship, which must
have lain wreck for over two hundred and fifty
years, is built of teak wood and is perfectly
sound the bow and stern are plainly visible.
1t is situated two hundred and forty miles from
the Gulf o. Mexico. The supposition is expressed
that the vessel is one which escaped destruction
from the feet of Cortes. The wreck will be
thoroughly explored and every effort made to
finally clear up the mystery.

NUMBER Al.
The Hum an Fish.

To believers in the Dorwin theory il will he of
interest to know that in the quiet BAYS and riv
ers on the eastern coast of Central and South
America, there lives nm animal which might be
righfully considered as the connecting link be-
tween man and fish 1t is the manatee, the wa
ter siren, the sea-ealf or sea-cow as this strange
animal is sometimes called. II belongs to the
order of the Cateca, and is altogether herbivor-
ousi living on grass which grows under the wa
ter, or on herbs which it seeks on shore.
The body is piscitOrm and measures some
fourteen feet in length the skin being very
slick, without hair and of dark color The
upper part of the body, especially of the females
much resembles that of Il woman, the breasts be-
ing OF the same form. In place of the fins of an
Ordinary hsh, the manatee has n sharp arm of
only one joint, which terminates in sort of
hand, on which the nails are distinctly visible.
and which the animal uses with much dexterity
IN moving about when on land, and in CARRYING
its young This limb has caused this animal TO
be called manatee, from ''manns" the hand
The writer, who for several wears resided in
those countries where these animals abound has
seen tue animal, and has been told repeatedly by
the natives that the female holds her cub to
suckle as the mother does her babe.
The tail OF manatee is shaped like an open
nan, and the close observer will perceive ten d-
visions, which mark the ten toes
Manatees swim by the help of this broad tail
which moves up and down, and not from right
to left, like that of the fish. This limb which
AZ hrst appears to be mere fin or nerve, melts
almost entirely into butter when fried in a nan.
and is highly priced by the natives for ointments
and for other medical purposes.
The animal weighs from 900 to 800 pounds,
and the meat is considered great relish. II
looks and tastes good deal like pork and needs
great deal of cooking. 1t is II strange fact that
the hesh keeps longer from decay than anv
other, and it is therefore salted and preserved
like pork.
They are caught with harpoons by the Indians
who know their haunts and customs, and il
seems as if they were becoming more scarce ev-
ry year,
Much has been fabled about these water sirens
that needs corroboration from scientific men who
seem to have taken but little interest in these
strange animals. Some have assured me that
their voice resembles the believing of m OK.
others that it was perfect music. | nm induced
to believe the latter, as they are wcl-known un.
der the name of 'sirena" or "sirens," ," which
appellative they could only derive from their
charming voice. Whether this be so or not re-
mains to be confirmed, like the harmonious song
of the dying swan.

Postal AFFAIRs.-Another proof of the econ

statement showing that while the receipts of the
General P0st-Ofice have been over eleven per

President Johnsou's Administration, the increase
IN the expenditures for the mail service has been
less Than two per cent The deficiency to be
provided for is only 81 52s, TT. The Postal De-

n professor" had abored with the youth of the
people, and taught them to dote on grammar ac-
cording to Morrses" system. During one of
the lectures the sentence, Mary mlks the cow
was given out to be parsed. Each word had
been parsed save one, which fell to Bob l.,
II sixteen-year-old near the foot of the class who
commenced thus; "Cow is noun, feminine
gender, singular number, third person, and stands
for Nary. Stands for Mary?' said the excited
professor. " How do you make that out ?"
Because, answered the noble pupil, "if the

IN MEMORY OF ISABEL GILzEAN.
REsrEcrFuILY DEpIcArEp TO nER MOTHER

II all the sheep in the fold were white
II all the days in the year were fair
If never note of sadness woke,
From boughs that sway in the Summer air
If the paths where wander tiny feet,
Were never filled with thorns and snares-
II all the flowers in the field were fresh,
And never bloomed among the tares-
If all in the world was pure and good
II life was forever free from pain
II the heart could know no WEAKNESS,
would wish my darling back again.
But o 'er the threshold of time and care.
Her fair young soul has safely crossed,
And never in this world win she grieve
Der n blighted hope or n purpose lost.
And in the scenes Of the after-land,
Where streams of silvery brightness flow,
Where flowers are sweet in lasting bloom,
Where the weary soul oft longs to GO
She wanders, blessed forevermore,
With spirit bright, and pure, and free,
And do not wish her back again
For | know she waits to welcome me.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE TARiFF.-To show
our readers the real position and sentiments of
the Democratic leaders on the reduction of taxes,
copy the following extract from a speech made
by Hon. A. A. Sargent, NJ. c., from this State,
at Unionvilc, Nevada, few days since. In re-
ferring to the proceedings of the last Congress,
he said
Every measure tending to the reduction of
taxes was met with steady and persistent oppo-
siton on the part of the Democratic members
and moreover, AZ of the 50 Democratic represent
ntives voted solidy against the modification OF
the Tariff Bill, always so odious to the people" "

A WHALE, of the grey, or hump-bocked, spe-
cies, drfted ashore on the beach near the Cliff
House, San Francisco. Upon being measured
it was found to be nearly forty feet in length,
and the hump twelve feet from the ground 1t
is supposed that it had been captured by some
whaling vessel, broke loose and gradually drifted
ashore, as its head was gone.
