Hon. E. II. Ha;nes. Speaker.

Hon. Elijah NJ. Haines, speaker of the
first Anti-Republican house of representa-
tives which has assembled in this state
since 1862, was born in New York, and in
1885 arrived with his brother, John c., at
Chicago. having walked all the way to that
city. The brothers began the practice of
law together, and in very short time were
in the possession of lucrative business.
Both the brothers were free-soilers by in
stinct, and joined the Republican party
upon its original formation. In 1853 Elijah
was elected to the general assembly, and
was reelected in 1860, and again in 1862.
In 1859 John was mayor of Chicago, and
Elijah was in the legislature, and in 1869
both were elected to the constitutional con-
vention. The election of Elijah was a
special triumph for him, for the Republi-
can party of his district had opposed him
in 1864. and in 1866 he was in direct oppo
sition to that party, and 1867 he assisted il
the first distinct organization of the Anti
Monopoly party in this state. In spite O
these facts, he was elected to the constitu
, tional convention from a district givin!
l 800 Republican majority, upon an Anti
Monopoly platform, by a majority OF 800
, In 1870 Elijah was elected to the genera
; assembly for the first session under tn
present constitution, while now both tn
brothers are again elected to the genera
assembly.
The present speaker has enjoyed all tn
!, experience necessary 10 discharge the du
ties of presiding officer. He is, perhaps
the best parliamentarian in the house
While none of those who have acted wit
. him or against him doubt his ability IN pal
liamentary tactics, his political experience
: and especially his political affinities, rende
! him specially valuable just how when con
n mittees are to be organized from anon
men of diverse political parties having
common aim, for his disposition is not
be an extreme partisan. He has an OF
portunity to do much to consolidate til
opposition to the corrupt Republican part.

THE SEA SERPENT.

A passenger on the steamer Roman on hel
last VOYAGE from Boston to this city, sends an
account to the EUening Bulletin of having
seen a large ''sea serpent" off Cape Cod on
the afternoon of July IL. The monster. he
says was observed by others who were on
board, among them being a number of sea-
faring men, and he adds that it had been seen
sometime previously in that neighborhood,
and arrangements were being made by the
mariners of Cape Cod for its capture. This
report revives one Of the great mysteries of
the sea, the question whether there is or is
not race Of inhabitants of the deep answer
ing the description of the sea serpent, having
been repeatedly and vehemently discussed
on both sides OF the Atlantic at frequent in
tervals during the last half century.
Reports in every material respect similar
to the one made in our contemporary have
been received from hundreds of sources
Supposed sea serpents have been seen at sew
eral places off the New England coast and
Long Island in the waters OF Nova Scotia, n
the rock bound bays of the coast of Norway
and far out at sea hundreds of miles from
any land in the waters of the South Atlantic
For many seasons the "sea serpent" was re-
ported regularly near Nahant, which was
then favorte summer watering place. Some
of these statements have been made by gen.
tlemen OF unimpeachable character The
most noted iastance-that of o sea serpent
having en- seen by the captain of a British
man-of-war in the South Atlantic on a voy-
age from the Cape of Good Hope to England
was the cause of very extensive scientific dis
cussion in England some years ago.
In two other instances supposed sea
serpents were seen in the South Atlantic, and
their observers, desiring to make closer OBJ
servation, lowered boats and captured the |
"animals," which turned out to be gigantic |
sea weeds Of serpentine form and appearance, |
floating on the surface of the water. The |
scientific men who have investigated the sub |
ject differ widely in opinion; but, excepting
in the two "sea weed cases mentioned, the |
observers have always shown their strong be- |
lief in the reality of the sea serpenfs they saw
We do not pretend, in the uncertainty OF |
knowledge on the subject, to decide whether
this Cape Cod monster is or is not veritable |
sea serpent, but mention the circumstance as |
likely to revive public interest in subject |
that has always been one of intense curiosity
and cause of unlimited disputation.-Phila-
deiptid Ledqer.

There is not nor has there ever been any reliable information going to show that gold Tn any quantity exists there, but because 1t Is a long and perilous journey to get there and because the government has prohibited prospectors from going in, every one is crazy to go and nothing now will ever satisfy them but to go, suffer, starve, get tomahawked and probably find no gold.

THE Girard college in Philadelphia has cost over S2,000,00O. The maintenance up to the present time has cost S2,500000. The college opened with l00 orphans and it has now $50. The income last year was over $6OO,O0O and the expenses were about S4O0,- 900. There are about $50 acres of land in the southern part of the city belonging to the college, yet undeveloped and large amount of coal lands that begin to pay an income. The prospect is that be- fore many years the income belonging to this college will be more than sufficient to educate every orphan in Philadelphia. It was noble bequest given for noble pur- pose.
