The Battle of Two Marine Monsters.

Jules MenOtti and his two companions,
while returning from a fishing eXcur-
sion. were witnesses to a scene not often
noticed by the traverserS of our spacious
bay. This was marine combat which
took place in the reach between Sauce
Ito and Angel Island, the combatants
being a swordfiSh and large fish resem-
bling a whale. The large fish or whale
was first seen rounding the eastern cor
ner of the Island, followed by its enc
my, which frequently rose from the wa
ter, and allowed Mr. Menotti and his
companions full view of its proper
tons. 1t was evidently a Xiphias, or
swordfsh, the body round, the head
long, terminating in a long beak in the
form of a sword. The other fish reSem-
bled narwhale, but as it rarely rose
above the water, it character could not
be clearly ascertained. The swordtish
charged it with great impetuosity, the
the big fish striking back with its tail,
and the water in their track was dyed
with blood At one time they passed
within six fdthoms of the plunger, cauS-
inc Mr.. Menotti and his friends no little
uneasiness. When last seen the fish
were steering toward San Quentin, still
fighting. SwOrdtsh are not common
in these waters, though in 1854 the ship
Flying Fish, Capt. Nichols, was struck
by one while crossing the bar as she en-
tered the harbor.-Odkld1ld NeUS.

Farming is the changing Of materia!
(manure) into grass and grain, and thence
into pork, beef, wool, etc. When the land
is purchased, it is this raw material
fertility that is paid for; that alone is the
value. The rest is mere sand, or clay, or
rock The object of the farmer, then,
should be to secure his material as cheap
as he can and use as much as lie can, al
WAYS keeping his machine, the farm, in
good working order, mellow, well drained
and clean. Instead of this we are too APT
to abuse the machine. The object Of the
farmer, then, must always be, manure
fertility-how he can get this raw material
cheapest, and work it best into grain,
grass, etc, and thence into other products,
such as are Of most advantage to him.

About Sleep.

A medical man discussing on sleep
makes this remark &c One man may
do with a little less sleep than another 4;
but as general rule, if you want a
clerk, lieutenant, lawyer, a phySi-
clan, legislator, judge, a president,
or a pastor, do not trust your interests
to any man who does not take on the
average eight good solid hours of sleep
out of every twenty-four. Whatever
may be bis reason for it, if he does not
give himself that, he will snap some
time just when you want him to be
strong.n

Silver Discoveries on Lake Superior.

Two letters received in this city dur
ing the week represent that highly i'm
portant silver and gold discoveries have
been made in the vicinity of Prince Ar
thurs Landing, on the north shore Of
Lake Superior, about POO miles north
east of Duluth. These reports are trust
worthy, and intimate that few days
AGO, near what is known rs the Thunder
Bay mine (Which has been yielding from
- 900 to $1,000 to the ton of rock), Il
miner dropped down upon an outcrop-
ping of crumbled quartz, all briStling
with native silver. At last accounts
they were gathering the rock in carts and
packing it for the stamp mill. 1t was
thought it would yield from 50, 800 to
s., 600 per ton. Another discovery has
likewise been made at a new opening
called the ''1T>K' mine, recently bought
up by some Boston men, who have 4
large force OF workmen employed on
their premises. In consequence of these
silver discoveries, and also of some rich
gold quartz, there is a large amount Of
mining excitement; indeed, so great Is
the interest aroused that the Canadian
Pacific Railway (now building from
Thunder Bay northward) is almost for
gotten, nobody apparently caring
whether it goes through or not.-St.
Paul (Minn.) Pioneer-PreSs.

A little while the roses bloom,
A little while the soft winds blow,
A little while the baby laughed,
A little while-frOm bud TO snow.
But after all the rose was sweet,
And after all the winds have blown,
And after all the baby blessed,
And after all it is our own.

And winds are sweet in memory,
Why should not then the baby gone

lives upon the public streets by plundering
from farmers wagons whatever is eatable, from
a bunch Of hay to a sack of potatoes, a cabbage
or Jar of butter She is an acrobatc COW. She
would climb the Court House steeple If an ear o.
corn were placed on top. Her best holt is prom
enading the sidewalks and helping herselfto pota
tatoes in barrels in front of the grocery stores
The time we alude to she marched up with per.
feet confidence to the same barrel In from o
Eredman's from which she had gotten many
meal OF potatoes and inserted her head with per-
feet confidence. That barrel at that particular
moment was filed with large, able bodied strong
oniens. The COW opened her capacious mouth
and proceeded to gulp down a half peck or so
and she suddenly got the taste and she stopped
as If she had just got an idea. She opened hel
mouth for fresh air. She backed up and shook
her head She stuck out her tongue and bawled
and the tears came out of her eyes. She stood
and wept, and we don't sympathize with her-no'
symp The last we saw Of her she was sadly
vending her way down the alley with her mouth
still open and tears flowing from her eyes, and
her tongue out Altogether she was a mean
choly looking brute.
