A Reading Pa. paper tells the folio,

A Reading Pa. )paper tells the follow
| ing fishing story: Yesterday afternoon
| hat veteran fish dealer, Mr.. Dan Par.
ker, OF this city, received seal at his
| place OF business, South Sixth street,
| that he purchased from one OF the best
| fishermen ON the Delaware Bay, Harry
Cook. Cook was out gilling for shad on
Thursday AFTERNOON, several miles down
| the bay. Hauling in he noticed that an
| extraordinary weight was at his net. By
| careful management he gathered it in,
| but as soon as the end came there WAS q
frightful barking noise heard coming
from the surface OF the water. Cook
| thought that he'd caught the devil, or
some other monster from the deep. He
succeeded in landing the load on the.
deck OF his fishing smack, and there was
a lively jumping around. The most un-
earthly noise was made by the stranger
from the depths. Finally the net was
cleared away and out rolled genuine
dark grey seal, about five feet long, fresh
from The Arctic regions. His seal-ship
set up terrible roar, ana finally the
men knocked it in the head and Killed
it. Colonel Woods, OF the Philadelphia
Museum, alterWard saw it,and said that
II they hadsbrought it up to the city
alive, he would have given one hundred
dollars for it. Parker bought the car
cass just for a curiosity, and shipped 1T
up here yesterday afternoon, where it
attracted great deal of attention. 1t
brought down the scales at 63 pounds.
Its skin on the back is covered with
soft. gray fur, While on its belly it is
white. Two web feet are in front and
two behind. 1t has short, stumpy tail,
about four inches long. It's head is as
round as a baseball, about half again as
large, and bristles stick out like the
horns of catfish. 1t is supposed that
the seal was carried southWard by an
ice foe. Probably he was q bearer OF
special dispatches from the North Pole;
but he's deal seal now, and he can't be
interviewed.

NUMBER OF MILES OF CABLE IN OPERA
TIoN.-The recent announcement of the
completion Of the new Atlantic Gable has
led to the publication Of some interest
ing statistics in regard to the rapid pro-
gress made in the application of the
cable rs means of communication be-
tween commercial countries. BY these
statistics it appears that, aside from the
cables between Europe and the United
States, which are now five in number, of
have been twenty-nine laid between
other countries since 1867, of n total
length of about 2S, GG1 miles. This gives
n grand total of nearly $4,000 miles.
The lines between Europe and America,
except the one whose completion is now
announced, are under the management
of the AnSlo-American Telegraph Com
