strange Fish in Monterey B Y.

On Saturday last "a large school of
huge purposes coming into our bay and
cruising about some Of our whaIemen
launched couple OF whale boats, aud
went after them. After short chase
one was harpooncd aud tuwed tc the
beach. 1t was Il young male about ,
feet long and perhaps two-thIrds grown,
aud proved to be a'Short FInncd Killer
OF the porpolse family, we have in the
bay occasionally the sperm hale; TIE
common small porpoise, about 4 fe,t
long the bay porpolse, ID to Is feet
long; the COW fish about the same length
as the last, but thicker aud stoutel :;
the Long Finned Killer, the Short
Finned Killer, aud the black fish ID
feet long. The KILLERS of which this
was a speclman have very peculiar
habits. They are the wolves or cunni-
balls among the Crtaceans, or whale
kind. They 90 in bands of two or three
or more, aud prey upon seals aud all
the other species, except the sperm-
whale. They keep about the head of
their victim, selzlpg it by the lips aud
tongue and dragging it under the water
and retaining it there until dead. They
thyh feast upon the carcass, biting out
large pieces op blubber and flesh, which
they bring to the surface aud devour.
Capt. Scammon, in his little monogram
on the Cetaceae says: "Instances have
been known where Killers have at
tackled whales tina. have been killed by
whalemen, and we're being towed to the
ship, in such determined manner. that
Notwithstanding they were frequently
lanced or cut with bow spade, they
took the whale from its human captors
and hauled it under water out of sight.
The porposes have but little b!ubber
aud are of little value. A very supe.

TFrom the New Jersey Mcdaniel

From the New Jersey Mechanlc.I
1t has been truthfully said that the
grea, moral victories aud defeats of the
world often turn on minutes Fortune
is proverbially fckle jade, and there is
nothing like promptness of actlon-thc
timing of things at the lucky moment
to force her to surrender her favors
Crises come, the seizing of which l.
triumph, the neglect Of which is ruin
This is pa, ticularly true on the field of
battle. Nearly every battle turns on
one or two rapid movements, executed
amid the whirl Of smoke and thunder Of
guns that jar the solid globe 1t was
at such moments that the genius of
Napoleon shone forth with the brightest
lustre. His mind acted like the light
ming, and never with more promptncss
and precision than i'm moments OF
greatest confusion and danger. " hat
confounded others, only stimulated him.
He used to say that one of the requi>
sites of general is an accurate caIcula-
ton of time; for if our adversary can
bring powerful force to attack a GER
tain post ten minutes sooner than you
can bring up sufficient supporting
force, you are beaten, even though all
the rest Of your plans be the most per
feet that can be devised. At Arcola
he saw that the battle was going against
hlm, and at once called up twenty five
horsemen, gave them each trumpet
and made dashing charge that won
the victory So at Mont, belIo, he com
pnted the distance of the Austrian cav
airy, saw that it would require quar-
ter of an hour for them to come up
and in those fifteen minutes executed a
maneuvre that saved the day. The
reason. he said, why he beat the Aus
trians, was that they did not know the
value Of five minutes. At the celc~
brated battle of Rivoli, the day seemed
on the point Of being decided against
him. He saw the critical state of
affairs, and instantly formed his reeolu-
ton He dispatched flag to the Aus
trian head quarters, with proposals for
an armistice. Napoleon seized the pre-.
,cious moments, and while amusing the
enemy with mock negotiations, rear.
ranged his line Of battle, changed his
front, and. jn few minutes was ready
to renounce the farce OF discussion for
4he stern arbitrament of arms. The
splendid victory of Rivoli was the
result. Waterloo was lost by Napoleon
mainly because the swiftness of decision
and promptness of action were wanting
because he wasted precious hours
before, on, and after the day of Ligny,
and on the morning Of Waterloo, when
he should have fallen on the enemy
like thunder bolt.
Of course, there are occasions when
caution and delay arc necessary-when
to act without long and anxious delIb>
Grafton would be madness. ALI wisdom
is system of balances. It is well
enough to be wary and careful up to a
certain point but beyond that, hesi-
tating policy is as ruinous as downright
rashness. Thousands of men owe their
failure in life simply to procrastination.
Brobdignag in words, and Lilliput in
acts, they scrupulously follow Fox's
advice, "Never to do to-day what by

the particulars in case where IA citizen

from headquarters to make the bill
