A MARINE MONSTER

A Devil Fish Of gigantic size has
been captured on the coast of New
foundland. 1t was found by fisher
men dying on the rocks where the
ebbing tide had left it. The crea-
ture's body is 10 feet long, ending
in a caudal fin two feet and a half
across, and is armed with 10 huge
tentacles, two of them 80 feet in
length and the others IL feet. At
the base of the arms is a powerful
parrot-hke besk, above which are
two deep-set eyes each eight inches
in diameter. The arms are slender
and lathery, broadening at the base,
and are supplied with several thou
sand suckers in double rows, by
which the animals prey is seized
with a grip from which there is no
escape and dragged inward to be
killed from the powerful beak. The
body and arms were dusky red
when found, but have since become
perfectly white.

Americans present, the Pope referred to
the wonderful progress that was being

that equal progress should be made IN

thought that if l struck for a dollar a
day he'd have to shut up shop and be
busted or come 20 my terms"
"And did it turn out that way ?" quer-
led the other.
"Not quite. The old man didn't seem
a bit terror-stricken, but he bounced me
through a window and hired another boy
to do my work at three shillings a
day"
"What are you going to do about

nized as that Of Mrs. I. Otis Leroy, who

returned to her wealthy fathers house.

watch and Jexels behind, went to the

Her suicide has created q sensation in
New York. She was formerly an ad-
mired and attractive leader Of fashiona-

TWIN BABY ELEPHANTS.

The London Circus and Sanger's
British Menagerie Combination, that is
to begin a season in Gilmore's Garden on
the I'D inst, will exhibit among its other
attractions two motherless baby ele-
plants, which have been thrown upon
their own resources at the early age of
one year. They are the youngest ele-
phants that were ever brought to the
United States, and the smallest, stand
ing two and half feet high. They are
twins also, and can hardly be told one
from the other. When they were first
captured, near the borders of Abyssinia,
special preparations haG to he made TO
convey them across the desert to a sea-
port Two camels were pressed into SER
vice as BONES, and in a net slung between
those ungainly animals the twins were
transported in safety during sixty days
of wearisome travel. They were fed
during all that time on goats milk, a
flock of those animals being driven
along for that purpose. They have been
brought up on the bottle entirely,a "a baby's
flask and section of garden hose being
used. They are very precocious and
know great many tricks, which make
them extremely entertaining. They will
be fed daily during the time Of exhibi-
ton.

HER Majesty
THE AMAZING INDUSTRY OF QUEEN
7sr VICTORIA. a -uerei


" rf-re VICTORIA. a uerai
Her majesty, says a London letter,
had becouse seutely sensitive to the
cruelties of the war, and sent instruc-
ton to the proper officials to the ef-
feet that all official information reeeiv
ed from the headquarters of both
armies and from. the embassies and
consulates, touching the matter in
question, should be summarized and
forwarded to her without delay.
A telegraph wire, connecting her ma
jesty's private rooms in the castle
where she is now residing (Balmoral)
and the Offices of the ministry in Pail
Mall, is used to transmit all import
ant intelligence. Less important
dispatches are forwarded from Lon
don to Balmoral by special messen-
gers. z .sm h
The Queen, wherever she goes,
has her own telegraphic operators,
who are as regularly part of the es-
tablishments she in turn occupies as
the housekeepers, chamberlains and
other indispensable officers. One Of
these gentlemen, with whom l have
had the honor of personal acquain-
tance for many years, says her Ma
iesty is one of the hardest workers
he ever had any experience of. /
violate no confidence, but merely
state a well known fact, when l say the
Queen has been known to keep minis
listers and heads of departments at
work great part of the night in
forming her by telegraph of the pro-
gress of debates, acquainting her
with the contents of dispatches, and
so forth.
Her majesty has frequently been
known to rise at daylight, day after
day, go through the whole of the
business received during the night,
debating replies, signing letters, dis
patches and official documents, and
completing everything before break
fast. This is the waman that so call
ed gentlemen, who have scribbled an

papers, have described as ga gin

WHEREA GOVERNOR GETS
HIS WIVES.

Claiborne F. Jackson, a native
of Kentucky, was once Gov ernor of
tie State of Missouri. He joined
the Southern Confederacy, and died
during his term at a farm house op-
posite the City of Little Rock,
among strangers, with no kind hand
of affection near to soothe his pain
and rob his death ded of half its
anguish. The most remarkable
fact connected with the history of
his life is perhaps the statemer&1hat
he married five sisters in one of the
most respectable wealthy and distin-
guished families in the State, that
as soon as one wife would die he
would go and marry her sister in
reasonable time. OF course, some
of them were widows when he mar
ried them. In connection with the
marriages there was standing joke
told told at the expense of the Gov
ernor, which vas that when he went
to ask the old gentleman's consent
to marry the last one, the venerable
father is reported to have said:
eyes, Claib, you can have er. You
have got them all. For goodness
sake don't ask me for the ok wo-
man."

NEW APPLE TREE ENEMY

NEW APPLE TREE ENEMY
A species of beetle has made its
appearance this season for the first
time, on the tree in this part of the
State, and though their ravages have
not as yet been extensive, they give
promise of doing as great pest as
the Colorado beetle or the curculio.
This bug mounts the trees and bi,es
a hole ofmoderate size in the ripen-
ing fruit. Following up the attack,
he eats his waylinto the apple and
devours everything inside the skin
except the seeo vessels. a farmer
brought yesterday into the agricnl-
tural store of Frank Plat, on States
street, large sized apple, which
had been subject to a visitation OF
the new parasite. He had been
thinking that his apples were large
and fair, and about ready to pick

Rhea (Tennessee) Springs News. Col,
onel James D. Richardson, of Murfrees~
boro, is favorably spoken of in middle
and west Tennessee as the democratic
candidate for governor at the next elec>
ton. We personally know j. D. Rich
ardson, and think the compliment is
worthily bestowed. The colonel is young,
gifted and talented, and we say, with-
out hesitation, we think he would make
an acceptable governor.
We are glad to see the question o
making Colonel Richardson Governor
Of Tennessee agitated by the press of
that state, for the nomination to the
position by the democracy is equiva-
lent TO an election. The distinguished
gentleman, though yet young man,
has filed number of offices of honor
and trust, in all OF which he has
shown ability and worth, and proved
himself a worthy son of his honored
father. II he shows the same execu.
tive powers and broad Craftsmanship
that he did while speaker of the
Tennessee house of representatives,
he will make most excellant gov
ernor, and one that the people may
well be proud of.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE latest advices
from Bucharest put the number OF
Turkish prisoners at 10000. Osman
Pasha ordered a sortie in the direction
of Widden. His valor, which is de-
scribed rs desperate, is everywhere the
theme of conversation. The suffering
of the Turks in the beleagured town
was awful. Cold, disease and famine
decimated their ranks and reduced the
soldiers to living skeletons. To aggra-
vate their suffering, no doctors and no
medicine could be obtained. Four
hundred guns fell into the hands Of
the Russians. The ground which was
the scene OF the sortie is literally
strewn with the dead and dying.
Osman Pasha himself was severity
wounded before he would consent to u
surrender.
There has been an important rise in
all classes OF Russian securities on the
London stock exchange, and they
maintain great frmness, notwith-
standing the fact that large realizing
sales have been thrown upon the mar
ket.
The general tone of the London press
in commenting on the fall of Plevna is
to urge the government to seize the
present opportunity for mediation, and
while it may yet be too late, the Globe
says 1t is the duty of Minister Layard
to impr IS upon the mind Of the sultan
the urgent expediency of giving weight
to pacific counsels before the resources
OF the empire are utterly exhausted.
A Bucharest dispatch says 7e Deun'
was sung there to celebrate the Rus
sian success at Plevns. Prince Gortz-
schoff and the Russian and R)umanian
authorities were presented to the czar
and prince. Gortzschofi will return to
st. Petersburg in week.
The czar, after the surrender OF Plev'
ma. placed his own carriage and escort
at the disposal OF Osman pasha.
