THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The President commences his message
by congIatulating himself that he has been
enabled to enforce the laws on the statute
book, and he says he has done this without
stopping to inquire as to their wisdom Af-
ter referring to the satisfactory condition
of our relations with all other nations, he
speaks of the troubles regarding the fish
cry boundaries as follows
81 recommend that the legislation neces-
sary on the part of the United States to
bring into operation articles of treaty rela-
tions of the United States toward British
North Am erican provinces to become oper-
ative SO soon as proper legislation shall be
had on the part of Great Britain and its
possessions. II is much to be desired that
this legislation may become operative be-
fore the fishermen Of the United States be-
gin to make their arrangements for the
coming season."
The President says the government was
compelled to ask the recall of tho Russian
Minister owing to his impertinent meddllng
with affairs that did not concern him.
He calls the attention Of Congress to the
damaging effect of the continued fuctua-
tions in our currency and asks for legisla-
tion that will give a fixed and steady value
to the same, butdoes notsuggest any meth
cd for accomplishing so desirable an object.
The steady increase of the receipts of the
Post Office department are referred to as
evidences Of the growth Of education, and
the President favors the uniting of the tel
cgraph system to the postal department.
The reduction Of the National debt has
been so great that the President thinks
that modification Of the tariff and the reve-
nue. laws will be advisable, and that it is
not necessary that this rapid payment

Awkward.

A citizen of Elizabeth, N. j., went to
the cars on Thanksgiving day to see his
daughter off. Securing her seat,h he passed
out of the cars, and went round to her win
dow to say parting word, as is frequently
done ON such occasions. While he was
passing out the daughter left the seat to
speak to friend, and at the same lime, a
prim-looking lady, who occupied the seat
with her, moved up to the window. Una
ware of the important changes inside, our
venerable friend hastily put his face up to
the window and hurriedly exclaimed, "One
more kiss, pet" In another instant the
point of blue cotton umbrella caught his
seductive lips, followed by the passionate
injunction, "Scat, you old gray-headed
wretch ~ and he seated.

A Singular Case.

Mr.. Eli Hempsted died shorttime since
in New Haven from most singular cause.
Some years ago he was attacked with insan-
ity and was sent TO the Insane Retreat in
Hartford. While there he pushed watch
key up his nose, and after his recovery in
formed his physician what he had done.
An effort was made to get it out, without
success. He left the Retreat, and nothing
further was done to remove the article,
though he occasionally spoke of feeling it.
In year or two he was attacked with a
sharp pain in at the lower part of the right
lung He suffered from it for some time,
when it passed away and for two years he
enjoyed good health. A few weeks ago he
went to New Haven with an invoice of pro-
duce and while engaged in lifting barrels
was again attacked with pain and bleeding
from the lungs. He was taken to his faith
er's house, where in few days he died.
His case was so singular that the physicians
made post mortem examination, when
they found the key embedded in the low
er part of the lung, and surrounded by a
lump in state of modification. The key
had dropped out of the nose through the
windpipe into the lung, and had remained
there four years.

CONGRESS during the past week has done
but little besides getting into working Or
der by the formation of committees &c.
But few bills of general interest have been
offered. Mr.. Sumner however has offered
one very ridiculous bill, which is, to issue
ten millions of compound interest notes
each month and retire an equal amount of
green backs, as if currency was not
scarce enough now without offering further
inducement for persons to hoard it up. He
also startled the Senate by giving notice
that he should introduce bill to abolish
the Internal Revenue Bureau.

Anchored to WhaIe-A Strange story.

Anchored to a Whale--A Strange Story.
The Boston Herald says; Captain John
Evitt, of the fishing schooner Charles Ii.
Price, of Salem, Mass, which arrived home
from a cruise yesterday, reports the follow
ing strange story. The schooner was an
chored off Grand Bank, ten days ago, with
about 200 fathoms of hemp cable out and
about ready to start for home, having ia
ken about $4,000 pounds halibut. The
cook threw over a line to catch fish
for dinner, and having caught one, threw
the line over again and found it tended aft
at remarkable rate. Thinking it strange,
he called from the cabin the captain, who
came on deck, went forward, and found
the vessel going ahead at about five knots
speed, but could not account for it. He Or
dered all hands called, and they hove in the
cable to within about thirty fathoms,
when they discovered that their anchor had
got hooked to large whale, which they
had before seen at some distance. The
whale ran with the schooner some little
time longer. The crew weather-bitted the
cable, and in short time the whale sound
ed, broke the anchor, and carried away
with him a good part of it. The black
skin is to be seen on the cable where it
chafed on the whale. The ring and small
piece of the anchor were all that was left
attached to the cable; the hukes are gone,
and are supposed to have somehow become
attached to the body of the whale.
