EA shark eleven feet in length,
caught off the Scotch coast, was lately
presented to the Dundee Museum. Up
on being opened for the purpose Of
stulfing, the following miscellaneous
contents were found in his capacious
nav: l. A whole ling fish; 2, mans
bonnet; 3, parts Of cod and cog fish; 4.
a soda water bottle coiked and sealed
with red wax, and containing note in
a lady's neat hand, beginning "On board
the Beautiful Star, 1st Sept. 1872 We
have crossed the line and al's well -
Last night the captains lady had pref
ty little boy Heaven bless the little
stranger" The shark may have liked
the buttle, but our impression is that,
upon the whole, he would have prefer
ed the baby.

The Grant Administrator and
Hts Thieves.

Republicans who entertained hopes
that the declarations of their party lead
ers, from time to time, for publication
and reform, were honest ones, lave been
undeceived by the action of the late
Congress concerning the disposal of the
cases of the Credit Mobilier swindlers
and the bill increasing salaries.
The participants in the Credit Mobil-
ier were all guilty of receiving enormous
dividends, from stocks, which they. by
their votes in aid of the Union Pacific
Railroad, caused to range in the money
markets at several hundred per cent pre-
MUM. They drew their dividends,
knowing that the Government was being
swindled out of every dollar OF tlrem.-
Congress investigated the matter and
white-washed all but ,AMEs and Brooks,
who were just as guilty, but no more SO,
than the others.
Cen BUrLER.introduced a bill towards
the close Of the session, increasing the
salaries of the President, Vice President,
Cabinet officers, Supreme Judges, Sena
tors and Representatives. It passed
both branches. BY this one act the peo.
pie we're robbed of $I.Gj5,O0O to
furnish two years back pay.
By signing the bill GRANT made sloo'
COO, as his pay was increased from $780,
600 to $50, 900 per year for four years
from March 4. Those are specimens Of
THE publication and reform promised the
people through the Philadelphia plat
form. Every Radical stumper, during
the Presidential campaign last year
boasted that the party would carry out
! econo .nical measures and purge Itself OF
all impurities if retained in power.
The people believed these men,as they
were authorized Ivy the Administration
to say 10 the public just what they did.
The sequel is, the people were deceived
! The promises made we're never meant to
be fulfilled; and the men who gave ut
terance to them were az dishonest, and
knowingly so,as the Administration that
authorized them to speak Let the peo.
pie defend their homes by rebuking the
/ Administration that robs them in order
that its Credit Mobilier rogues and leat'-
ers may he enriched.

Miss Braddon is detected in an anus

with her father, and what she saw there.

Eg Mr.. Darwin is credited with the
statement that infants do not know how
to weep until they are several days old.
This is opposed to the authority of Sir
William Jones's epigram which says
that torn children weep "while all
around them smile" But Sir William
probably refers to screeches rather than
to tears Perhaps the point of Darwin's
view is that children begin to cry the
moment they have time to find out wha,
a world they have come into

and TelegrapA Wires Cuf.

ST LOUIS, March 1S-The strike on
the st Louis, Kansas City and Northern
Railway still continues. Trains have
been stopped at different points to- day,
and the strikers seem determined to sus-
pend the operation Of the road Armed
police from this city are at various
points along the line, but they are not
strong enough to prevent the mob from
at least partially carrying out their de-
signs. The military has not been order
ed out as reported last night. Some
trains moved from Moherly to-day un-
der guard of police, and comparative
order prevails at that point. The en-
gines ditched there yesterday morning
were placed on the track during the day,
the working force being protected by
the police, and the-road rs now clear
The train that left here last night ran
into pile of the ties placed on
the track on the st. Charles grade, and
the engine dltched, but nobody was
hurt.
About nine O'Clock this morning a
oiiuSe crossing small sire I'm few
miles above st Charles was fired, and
one span burned The damage was re-
paired in about three hours, however, so
trains could pass.
Quite number of strikers were ar
rested at Meberly to-day. and several
were arrested yesterday at Lexington
junction and placed in the Richmond
Jail
Another engine was detached at st.
Charles to-night.s
The Railroad Company offered an
aggregate of $4,000 reward for the ar.
