The San Diego, Cal, Union says: "a
miner from Arizona, whose name we
were unable to learn, went dshing down
on Cuiverwells S wharf between four aud
Eve o'clock last evening. BE had been
fishing bqt Q very short time when he
drew up on the wharf an ordinary sized
black liquor bottle. he was not fright
ened at the bottle, but he was wonderful
ly perplexed as TO what had bitten,
and hcw and by whom the bottle had
bsen ettsched TO bis line about a foot
above the hook. The miner oalled out,
and several other persons who we're fish
ing near him ran to see the wonderful
catch. An examination showed that
there vas q devil fish inside the bottle,
and that one Of bis arms extended out Of
the neck, and was firmly entEined around
the line. The devil fish had probably
eravled into the bottle when young. and
finding it a nice, comfortable residence,
he had committed the indiscreiion OF
remaining there until be had grown 50

grown 70 nearly the size Of his glass

Oh ESusIl +!
from the st. Louis Globe.l

from the st. Louis Globe.
Yesterday three young bloods Of this
city, belonging to most eminehtlv "re-
spectacle" families, met together for
the purpose of having what is called q
good time.n After some hours spent
in each others society, they adjourned
to the room occupied by one of them,
near Fifth and Spruce streets, and
there INDUCED in spirituous imbiba-
tons
Naturally their aristoclatic blood
was made to circulate with undue ra-
pidty, affecting their throbbing brains
with undue activity, until they became
wild with excitement. Soon their hi
larity merged into pugnacity, provoked
by the desire to settle between them
selves satisfactorily some question in
dispute. Being heated to desperation,
their bravery was of the tallest kind.
Chairs were used freely, tables were
tipped over, bottles and glasses were
sent pinning from hands to heads,
causing a series of crashes and gashes
ienr'ul to think of.
But these weapons were too vulgar
to draw The riaht red juicy blood from
noble veius, and, like gentlemen, they
appealed to their knives, end applied
them with all the vigor of surgeons.
They cut and slashed add carved aud
stabbed. The result was that one
Young man had an arm cut nearly of
yellow tie elbow. One was stabbed in
lie back of the neck, and The ,ljsd was
stabbed IN the breast, besides other seri-
Gus injuries.
While the melee was in fall blast, a
negro hearing the music, ran up stairs,
from the street, rushed into the room,
and separated the oombatants, whose
wounds flowed copiousiy with blood.
The blood-letting or the shock caused
by the appearance Of the negro seemed
to bring them to their senses, for they
soon subsidized and took measures to
have their physical damages repaired.
AS the affair was speedily flushed up,
full particulars could not be learned
from the two or three outsiders who
happened to know that a first class row
had TRANSFERRED in the private room re-

A singular INciGeuf.

From the Petersburg (va,) index, August 81
On Yesterday our senior, Major a. b.
Venable, while looking over the mate
rial of the Index office, recently pur-
chased by his firm (Venable, Gregory d
Pattersou), for the purpose of dispos-
ing of such as might not be needed by
the consolidated paper, had his attcn-
ton called to a large marble slab used
as an imposing stone. Upon exam!n-
ing it he found OH the under side the
inscription 1--WE omit names):
"Sacred to the memory of -,
Youngest daughter of -, and -,
borp July 26, 1920 died October 80, 1873,
aged IL years, 3 months and days"
This was followed by the 18th and
18th verses of the seventh chapter of
Revelations.
Major V. recognized the name as
that of very near young lady rela-
tive, whom he remembered while Nv
ing. Upoa making inquiries, no one
could give him any information az T.
no the slab was obtained, or when II
w Is brought inc the Office. He sup
poses it was stolen by the Yankees IN
iS65, from his. family graveyard In
Prince Edward county, and sold in this
city to some printer to he used for
It's present purpose. He VIII send
it to FarmvIlle to be replaced where il
belongs.

Fort SCoTT, Ks, August 20.-A spe-
cial dispatch to the Monitor from Les
Cygnes, the county seat of Les Cygne
county, states that the greatest excite
nent exists there. A mob Of four hun
drcd men have taken possession of the
town and arrested the Sheriff. They
viii harm the town and hang the Sher-
ifi, unless he delivers up to them the
person Of Keller, who murdered his

who will doubtless carry their threats
into execution.
