The Uonders Of the Deep.

In her scientific cruise Of three years
and a half, the Challenger steamed
and sailed 6S,930 miles, crossing both
the Atlantic and Paciic-the former
several times. The deepest soundings

Professor Wyville Thomas and his as.
sociates, and many interesting details
concerning it have appeared in Eng

were brought home. One very odd
specimen, which came to the surface
only at night, is described as having a
head which is nearly all eye, and a
body so transparent as to render visi-

Near Amsterdam Island, in the South
Indian Ocean, the ship encounted a
belt of gigantic seaweed, of which sim

of a thousand feet and a thickness
equal to that of a mans beay. A gale

Ne Didn't Like to Tell Before Folks.

A horney-handed phrenologist in
West End grocery of Madison, Wis
consin, the other evening placed his
hand on a friends head and said /:
"Bill, do you want to know your
capacity and perceptibleness?" ?"
"Yes, if I've got any, was the re-
ply.
"Well, then," continued the phre-
nologist. II place the tip of my thumb

but the thumbs don't meet by-great

At this point the phrenologist looked
puzzled, and looked up to the ceiling,
reaectively and gravely.
"Out with it-I am prepared to
hear the worst" said Bill.
But the phrenologist said he'd have
to tell him privately, and took him
out and up the street till near saloon
door when he paused and whispered
in Bills ear
"You've got a powerful brain, a
powerful intellect, and orto be in Con-

Bill dragged his friend into the sa-

hilaniously in. The gas was burning

A Scrap of Rerorsf.

The jackson (Miss.) CLARION re-
minds its readers that in 1875, when
Sheridan was dragooning the Louisi-
ana Legislature, and assisting to or
ganize it under the control of the Rad
ical knaves, whose villainy has since
been brought to light, Gov. Tilden,
of New York, had the courage to send
a special message to the New York
Legislature, denouncing these violent
proceedings as they deserved to be.
Gov. Tilden's message closes with
these solemn and impressive words:
"New York, first of the Common
wealths of the American Union in
population, in resources and in militia
ry power, should declare her senti-
ments on this occasion with distinct
ness, a dignity and solemn emphasis
which will command the thoughtful
attention Of Congress, of her sister
States, and of the people of our whole
country. With the same unanimity
with which she upheld the arm OF the
Union in the past conflict, she should
now address herself to the great and
most sacred duty Of re-establishing
civil liberty and the personal rights of
restoring the ideas and habits of free
dom, and Of re-asserting the suprema-
cy of the civil authority over the mill
tary power throughout the republic.

A writer in the Georgia Farmer
gives directions for making a cheap
barometer to aid in foretelling the
weather. He takes a stick three feet
long, and attaches to the butt end
phial full of air, and corked tight.
The stick is then suspended in hori-
zontal position on a pivot where it will
readily turn, say ON a thread tied
near its centre. When a storm is
coming on, the air outside is lighter
than that within the phial; of course
the phial sinks, and indicates change
in the atmosphere. Such barometer
may be made in ten minutes, and
some of our philosophic farmers will
incline to have a barometer of their
own manufacture.

Anofhsr Modern Fable.

The beasts, having to choose a mon
arch, met in convention to canvass the
claims of the respective candidates.
The courage of the lion, the strength
of the tiger, the cunning of the fox,
aud the sagacity of the elephant were
al dwelt upon, and on the seventh
ballot the mouse was nominated as a
compromise candidate. Though" I"
said the party organ next morning,
'our candidate may not be as strong
as the lion or tiger, his record cannot
be impeached on the ground that he
has ravaged the hocks Of the herds
