The Sea Serpent.

The London Graphic contains sketch
by Lieut. w. P. Haynes, of her Males
TVS ship Osborne, of the sea monster
seen by the officers and crew of that
vessel off the north coast of Sicily on the
I'd of June.
In a letter accompanying the sketch
he says : " My attention was first called
by seeing long row Of fins appearing
above the surface Of the water at dis
lance of about two hundred yards from
the ship, and away on our BEAM They
were of irregular heights, extending
about thirty to forty feet in line (the
former number is the length [ gave, the
latter the other officers J in few sec
onds they disappeared, giving place to
the fore part Of the monster. By this
time it had passed astern, swimming In
an opposite direction to that we were
steering, and as we were passing through
the water at ten and half knots, could
only get view of it end on which [
have shown in the sketch.
" The head was bullet-shaped, and
quite six feet thick, the neck narrow,
and it's head was occasionally thrown
back out of the water, remaining there
for a few seconds at q time 1t was
very broad across the back Or shoulders,
about fifteen Or twenty feet, and the
fappers seemed to have semi-revolv-
ing motion, which seemed to paddle the
monster along They were about fifteen
feet in length. From the top of the
head to the part Of the back where it
became immersed l should consider
about fifty feet and that seemed about
a third Of the whole length. All this
part was smooth, resembling a seal.
cannot account for the fins unless they
were on the back below where it was
imersed."

The Mississippi Channel.

Gen, Beauregard has written a very
interesting letter concerning the Missis-
slppl jetty system, by means of which
Mr.. James B. Eads is attempting to
render more facile navigation of the
South Pass But for the panic of 1873
Gen. Beauregard thinks Mr.. Eads would
now have 25-foot channel in the pass
and be reaping the material benefits of
his labors The fears of competent
engineers that the river lacked the
force necessary to eXcavate the chan
mel through the shoal and that another
bar would be forced in the gulf outside
of the jetties have been proved ground
less. Last November there was a chan
mel 200 feet wide with twenty feet Of
water, where formerly there was eight
feet depth. In February, with the spring
rise, the channel began to be enlarged,
till finally IN some places where the
chart gave thirteen feet soundings the
extraordinary depth of eighty feet was
attained. Of the 100000 cubic yards
secured by the action of the current
since April l but fourteen per cent. has
been deposited temporarily between
the lower portion Of the jetties, while
eighty-six per cent. has been carried
into the gulf beyond present sound
ings. With regard to the probability of
a new bar being soon formed in front
OF the Jettles, accurate soundings made
during the last two years prove that no
apprehension Of that sort need pres
entity be entertained. Nor need there
be any fear of the jetty structures not
outstanding the ravages Of the toredo,
SO fatal to all modern structures in the
waters of the gulf. So copious is the
alluvial deposits. upon the willow mat
tresses of which the jetties are COM
posed, that the wood is protected by a
thick coat of mud and the toredo, which
requires free access Of salt water to
thrive, is baked Of its opportunity De
Plus, 1t never attacks fbrous, spongy
wood. In conclusion Gen. Beauregard,
with as much reasonableness as earn
estness, suggests to all persons interest
ed In having ample water for CONNER
cial purposes at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi to bear with patience an occa-
sional contretemps, instead of lending
a willing ear to all the unfavorable ru-
mors which are afoat concerning the
work. Morally, if not materially, they
should encourage the great engineer
" who has staked his reputation and the
means of himself and friends on the
accomplishment of an undertaking
which is ere long to make of New Or
leans the greatest grain shipping port in
the world"

The Grain Crop of Ohio,

Mr., E. D. Mansfield, the Veteran
Observer, 7" gives a very glowing accent
of the crops in Ohio this year. He esti-
mates that there are 100000 acres of
wheat, which at eighteen bushels per
acre will give Ohio in 1877 full 81 ,SOO,0O
bushels of wheat. Ohio, however. is a
corn rather than wheat State, and she
also yields great supply of oats. Never
has there been a year in which the crops,
as whole, were as good as they prom
Use to be this year. Ten years ago the
average grain crop of the State was 100,
OO0, 600 bushels. In 1870 the crop was
150, 600, 900, This yeas it cannot be put
under 170,O0O,0OO, which, at present
prices, would be worth near $120, OOO, 600,
of hay, which would be
worth $2O,OOO,OO0. The clear gain to
farmers, after deducting all their own
living, will be at least $50, 100000.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-To-day
the cabinet considered the labor troub-
les. kilograms showed the condition
of affairs throughout the country more
hopeful 1t was determined that addi-
tional instructions should be issued to
military commanders to insure the ut
most watchfulness and immediate ac-
ton In case of an outbreak. Brigadier
General John Pope, commanding the
department of the Missouri, is senior
officer in the military division of the
Missouri, and during the absence of
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan will consult with
Adjutant General Drum and General
Sheridan's staff as to plans, movements
OF troops etc. General Pope has been
ordered to Chicago, and will leave for
Leavenworth immediately.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-There was a
fresh outbreak to-day among the en-
ployes Of the Delaware & Lackawanna
railroad. Strikers say it was caused by
sending bogus message to the engine
dispatcher at Hoboken, that all was set
tied and the men should resume work
and other ordinary trains to be allowed
to proceed. The signatures of the COM
mittee men to these dispatches were
forged and the strikers feel aggrieved
1t is announced they willie do nothing to
forward the business of the road until
they receive creditable orders from their
own committee men. The strikers have
received a dispatch from the post
naster-general that the government
contract with the railroad company is
to carry mails on passenger trains only.

CURED to you that, however exempt
yourself, some woman's life is lived in
your kitchen, and how much you may
add to that life by making your kitchen
a pleasant place to habit? She is no
less woman in all her native suscepti-
bilities and needs because she is poor
and does your work.
Do you realize how much every life
takes on of the hue Of its surround
ings? And what minister of good,
as we'll as minister of beauty you
may be when you make your kitchen
perfect as kitchen, as you have al
ready made your parlor as a parlor
1t cannot be measured, the wretched
health, the morbidness, the misery, and
vice even which have had their birth,
in the dark, unventilated dens which
are called kitchens, in which so many
women drag on their weary lives. And
when the girl of our time grows up to
regard the kitchen of her home as
something more than hole to be
Stunned, in which Bridget was born to
drudge when she brings into it, in
stead, her calico apron and smiling
face when she devotes to it's service
a portion of the cultivated powers now
wasted in idleness, if not in sin, we
shall see the beginning of that royal
race of women for whom we longingly
wait, and in whose advent we so de-
vOutly believe.

BY-AND-BY, when the strike reaches
the stagedrivers out in the wilds of the
Territories we shall probly be deprived
Of our daily reports of the robbery of the
Deadwood stage, because there will be
no stages running. For the present, how
ever, these robberies are reported with
a regularity that is almost monotonous;
and yet the stages go and come and
carry their treasure into the haunts of
the bandits, and nobody ever hears of
a robber being shot or any one making
an effort to protect his property. The
stories told of these everyday events are
such as to lead people to think that the
Deadwood coaches are run exclusively
for the benefit of the highwaymen, as no
one else appears to derive any particular
profit from them. The passengers also
seem to get themselves up in a style to
delight the robbers, for we rarely hear
of a passenger who doesn't carry big
gold watch, a diamond pin, some rings
and whole pocket full of ready money,
a thoughtfulness that proves a real con-
whence to the gentlemen of the high
way who have fancy for these things
and who sit up all night looking out for
them. Perhaps after this thing has been
going on for few years it will occur to
some of those who travel by means of
the Deadwood stage TO carry pistol.

Turkish Love Of Water.

A Turk thinks he can do nothing SO
greatful to God and man as the setting
up of a fountain by the roadside OF in
the streets Of the city, where the way
farer and his animals may appease
their thirst and bless the name of him
who provided for their wants Often in
my travels in the interior of Turkey,
writes a correspondent, [ have halted
beneath the shade Of q wide-spreading
plane tree to slakc my thirst at the
limpid waters of marble fountain, and
to repose from the MONDAY heat. There
is always some edifying disuch from
the Koran, that water is the gift of
God, and blessed is he who distributes
it," or that Water is the source Of
life and health" &c. There is a prac-
teal piety in these monuments of
charity that speaks we'll for the benevo-
lent opposition of the Mussulman.
The Turks are great consum ers of water,
and they are good judges Of it's quality
and nice in what they USE The favorite
water that is sold at a para glass in
the streets is from Asia; either from
Tchamudja, on the mountain above,
Scutari, Or from Karakoulak, some ten
miles up abe Bosphorus, several miles
inward from Belcos, This is brought to-
the landing in barrels, on horses Backs
put in barges, and in this way carried to
Constantinople before daylight Not
outstanding the length of the journey,
it is as pure as crystal The vendors
cry it as "Bowz guibi," "As good as
ice" A Pasha will drain two large
goblets at swallow. AS water is said
to have fattening properties, the large
draughts they take Of it may be the
cause in part of the obesity to which.

Dom Pedro and the Don.

The emperor of Brazil is not a safe
person on whom to try a display of
suddenly acquired learning. During
his recent stay here he intimated a
wish to visit one Of the universities, and
he accepted an invitation to breakfast
from learned Don at one of them.
The learned Don, not content with his
own genuine learning, must look out
for something with which to make a
special impression on the emperor.
He, therefore, hunted out what he
thought to be the very newest branch
of archaeological study in which the
emperor was supposed not to dabble.
This was a fearfullv exhaustive and
profound work by German, of which
only one copy was believed to have
reached this country. He crammed"
with this, and when his imperial guest
arrived he made immense parade of
his possession of it and his intimacy
with its contents. The emperor listened
SO attentively that the owner of all this
portentious learning felt assured his
lllustrlous guest was regarding him with
positive reverence. When he had done
his exposition the emperor told him he
was glad he showed such an interest in
the subject, but advised him not to
waste much time on the German book
as 1t was not really new to men who
cared about such studies, was got up
partly under inaccurate information,
and had been quite superseded by the
work of an accomplished Hungarian.
written in Latin which was now the de-
light of all scholars. The emperors
host listened during the remainder of
the interview without making any
further contribution to the imperial edu-
cation London Examiner.

The RuSSiO-TurkiSh War.

Dispatches from London, AS late as
the 9th state, that the Russian COM
mander, after requesting the Roumani-
ans to occupy Nikopols, so that the
Russian garrison might be able to act
against the Turks from Plevna, appears
to have succeeded in concentrating suf-
ficient troops around Plevna to enable
him to dispense with the Nikopolis gar
rison. Thereupon the Roumanians
were informed that their divisions would
not be needed. These matters are inn
portant, proving the existence of an I'M
derstanding, by which the Roumanian
troops are to be called upon when need
ed, and also that the Russians do not
anticipate any danger from the Turks
at Plevna.
1t is believed the Russians have COM
pleted their line around Rustchuk,
which has been advanced in some
places near enough for them to throw
shells as far as the inner line of fortifica-
tons, but the actual siege has not yet
begun. Reinforcements have been sent
from the Czarowitch's army around
Rustchuk, to join the Russians before
Plevna,
SILISTRIA.
A dispatch from Kalarash says the
Russian shells have already caused sew
eral fires In Silistria. This, however, is
unconfirmed, and thought to be highly
improbable.
RUMORS OF PEACE.
A special from Vienna says that the
peace rumors still circulate, and every
body is convinced they are the result of
an understanding between three great
powers. It is felt that moment for
action is approaching The barbarities
committed by Mohammedans at all
points, as we'll as by Russians and Bull
garians, will no longer allow an uncon-
cerned view of the position of the unfor-
tunate Christian population. Austro-
Hungary, in particular, is strongly In
terested. The schemes attributed to
England of occupying, first, Gallipoli,
and next, perhaps, COnstantinople, do
not preclude the belief in an early
peace.
To BE REINFORCED.
Official intelligence from Vienna states
l1Icl0 1I111GlN llOlSet11tl 11It11 dIt O11 Tic
way to reinforce the Russian Caucasian
army Three brigades of foot artillery,
with forty-eight guns each, and ten bat
teries of Cossack artillery, with sixty
guns, have already arrived at Tihis The
Russian artillery there will shortly be
reinforced by 204 guns, and only then
will fresh advance be attempted into
Armenia in order to gain some fortified
places before winter sets In.
HEAVY FIGHTING EXPECTED.
The Turks in and around Kars and
Erzeroum report that the movements of
the Russian armies are such as to indi-
cate that a hard battle will be fought
within few days.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
An official dispatch from Biela an
nounces that the Russian steamer Mich
olas and two sloops arrived with cannon
and mitraileuses and engaged the Turk
ish monitor near Silistria. She was set
on fire and considerably damaged, and
several of her crew killed and wounded
The Russian vessels sustained insight
icant damages, and no less than five
Turkish steamers and two monitors,
going from Rustchuk to Silistria, on the
23d, were attacked by the Sabosia bat
teries, and three of the steamers burnt
and one sunk.
