A Mermaid.

The Los Angeles Erpress says that
genuine mermaid is now on exhibition in
that place, having been caught IN the
Pacific waters a few weeks since, and
embalmed by physician of San Diego.
It is thus described "The eyes, in
large sockets, were pricked to let out
the water in the embalming process.
The mouth is very broad. with twenty
eight curved and singularly shaped
teeth. The nose is an abomination of
the Roman and the snub. The brow is
heavily indented with heavy brain lopes I;
long and broad ears adorn the queer
looking head, and short, woody hair
covers the head and sides of the face.
The cerebellum and Adams apple are
very prominent. The arms are long and
terminate in long claws, consisting of
four fingers and a thumb, with the sharp
est of nails. There are eleven ribs ez-
tending around the body and meeting at
the breast. Here the fishy portion of the
thing begins. It is covered with scales,
the spine having the dorsal fin, and the
fish continuing in the usual development
to the tip of the tail.

THE TARANTULA.-This species of spider,
according to writer in Cham5er's JoWrnal,
is very abundant on our southwestern from
tier, where it is more dreaded even than the
rattesnake, which also hourishes there in
great numbers. In this region the tarantula
grows to the size of half large walnut, being
thick and rounded something like the half
shell. Provided with eight legs and covered
with long hair, it is described as ugly and
disgusting in the last degree. "This is all
enemy" remarks the writer, "aganst whom
none can guard, and for whose bite no remedy
has been discovered. Such alarm do they
inspire, that have known a large party of
men who had camped out all through snake
country, and through the midst of hostile
Indians, driven from n desirable position by
discovering that tarantulas infested the spot"
The poison proceeding from their bite acts as
quickly as that of rattlesnake, and they are
much more dangerous, because, attracted by
light, they frequently make their way into
tents unobselved by the occupants. Their
bite sometimes causes death, and even if
person surviaes after being bitten, he never
fully RECEIVERS, and is likely to carry the scar
for life.''

1t is said that wrought iron pillar is now
standing at the principal gate of the ancient
mosque of the Kutub, near Delhi, in India,
which is sixty feet long, sixteen inches in
diameter near the surface, contains eighty
cubic feet of metal, and weighs seventeen
tons. 1t is spindle-shaped, and the capital, of
an elaborate Indian design is carved by the
chisel in solid iron. A Sanscrit inscription
near the center assigns the erection to the
third Christian century. And this is but one
of the relics showing that long centuries ago,
India had the ability to do what the largest
steam hammer FORCES in the world cannot
surpass to-day, and that she employed this
very metal for the very ends to which it is
being appropriated as new discovery made
her work rarely ornate, and left it to show that
fifteen centuries of exposure would not destroy
the ornamentation. To-day rails and locomo-
tives are imported from England to this very
region, where such superior workmanship
existed before the fogs had broken over
Britain.

REWVfNG RECOLLECTIONS OF THE
WAR.

The New York Express speaks of the
reign of terror under the last two years
OF Mr.. Lincoln's first term, when twelve
Democratic States of the Union did not
cast vote, and when thousands of Demo-
cratic voters in the north were intimidated
by the threatenings of military power"
To this the Providence Journal says:
"Whv was it that twelve Democratic
States did not cast vote ? One would
think that Democratic organ would
scarcely care to raise that question. Be-
cause these Democratic States had carried
the doctrines of their party, under the
southern and ruling Interpretation, to
their ultimate consequence, and were in
fragrant rebellion against the government.
And If thousands of Democrats in the
north were frightened out of voting, the
alarm came from their own consciences
1t IS 4 well established fact that there were
in the north organizations which not only
sympathized with the rebellion, but were
ready to render to it active and if necessa-
ry military aid. 1t is likely that these
Democrats, for there were no Republicans
in that crowd, did not vote. One would
suppose that u Democratic paper would
not be anxious to revive such recollec

Lincoln, and responsible for the enlarge
ment of the public debt and the immense
loss of life by the aid and countenance
they gave the rebels in prolonging the
war and increasing its horrors and devas-
tations. We are not mistaken on this
point. His nomination was hailed by the
the anti-war wing OF the democracy as
their triumph His election would be say
ing virtually that Maine has gone back on
the record Of the war, and is willing to be
led by those who put their faith in JEFF
Davis and clamored for peace and dis
union.
If Mr.. Titcomb could be elected Cover
nor of Maine there would be rejoicing
among that band of Ex-Confederates
whom JEFF Davis addressed the other day.
Had he not not been nominated specially
as the representative Of that interest it
would not attract special attention, but
| the fact is too plain that he as well as
| William Allen of Ohio are selected because
they are of the Vallandigham type. The
war democrats were crushed out at the
conventions, the liberal republicans were
warned to keep away from their doors and
an alliance refused, and the hunkers rails
ed the old banner again with the resolves
of '98 for platform.
Now let the republicans of Maine cast
their vote next Monday in its full strength
for NELSON DINGLEY JR. No matter
whether the democrats are dead or alive,
let us be alive and awake and discharge
our full duty as though the contest were
doubtful. The time for preparation is
brief but it is sufficient for our purpose
Let the committees in every town lead in

others volunteer what assistance they can.
