An Old Distinguished Resident Of the
Pacific Coast on a Pleasure Tour
Through the United States.

We yesterday met a very prominent member
Of the old Spanish house of Don Leninus, a
venerable old seaman, who has been engaged
for the last twenty-five years in the pearl-oys-
ter and fishery business, on the west coast, and
having amassed princely fortune, takes in
our opinion very sensible view Of life, and,
with bis family, Is visiting all be principal
points Of interest between San Francisco and
New York.
There is something very romantic in the old
gentleman's history. Cast adrift when very
young, in fact, born upon the very shores Of
the Pacific, he grew up with an ardent desire
to follow the sea for an existence. In 4 few
years, after becoming an adept in the art Of
diving, be would frequently make excursions
to the bottom ofthe ocean for oysters, In which
the costly and elegant pearl were wont to
nestle, without any other protecting armor
than that which was furnished by nature, and
often, while making these perlous voyageJ,
was savagely attacked by that pirate Of the
ocean, the blood thirsty shark, and tho nun
erOus deep and jagged scars which he will
always carry bear testimony to the desperate
nature of these bloody and sanguinary en-
counters. He has been to the bottom Of the
ocean over i've thousand times, and rery fire.
quently has been accompanied by bic wife and
children. They never yethaye used the diving
apparatus or the bell, and think such new
tangled ideas cause more deaths 10 one year than
would occur In lifetime with the armor that
nature furnishes then, Ills vile and children
have accompanied him so often In his diving
excursions that they are nearly as proficient as
him self in searching for the treasures Of the
deep sea. There is one thing very remarka.
bic about this wonderful family, and that is
their extraordinary appetite for fresh fish,
preierring Il ut all times to the choicest
morsels Of meat, and il is said that this old
gentleman will consume several pounds at
single meal when right hungry, and the rest
of the family are vnraciOus fsh-eaters. So
long have they been Isolated from society that
they have lost the use Of the English entirely,
and make their wants known through an inter-
prefer who accompanies them always. The
markets are secured daily in search Of the
choicest fish, and, should their interpreter fail
IN procuring the daily quantity consumed By
them, they manifest their dissatisfaclion in
bursts ofanger terrible to witness. The above
would seem TO SAVIOR pretty strongly of fish,
but any one has any doubts about the truth
OF the story, let him visit Old John Robinson's
museum, meBagerie, caravan and circus, which
will come TO WEsrxNsrEa, on Saturday, Au-
gust 81, and he will see the old monster sea-
lion, his wife and two children, and he will be
convinced that the above is no idle tale Of
fiction, but truthful representation Of the
sea-lion.

THE KU.KLUx PRIsoNERs.-A re.
port has recently been made by the
Chief Of the United States Secret Ser
vice Division upon the condition of the
sixty four political prisoners confined
ia the Albany penitentiary The ex-
animation was made at the request of
Gerrit Smith, who had visited the
Albany penitcntiary, and had written
to President Grant, recommending the
pardon of three of the prisoners. The
matter was then referred to United
States Attorney General Williams, who
instructs the Chief of the United States
Secret Service to examine into the cases
Of the Ku Klux convicts. This report
recommends the pardon of eighteen
! prisoners whose cases admit of great
doubt Of the moral responsibility Of the
culprits for their acts, al ! in which
cases it is reasonable to suppose that
fear aud the influence of superiors we're
largely responsible for the offences COM
mitted. In the remaining forty six
cases no recommendation is made
While some of these particular prison,
ers are intelligent, others are Ignorant
men, but yet quite capable of judging
Of the effects Of their acts. The com.
plicity Of the prisoners in the midnight
raids and outrages, it is stated, is well
established. OF the three prisoners
recommended for pardon by Gerrit
Smith, one has died, and one ia report.

considered deserving of elemency. II
Is understood that the prisoners recon,
