The Latest Sea SERPENT Story,

The San Diego World says: A party
of Chinese fishermen caught sight of
what is believed to be the veritable sea
serpent, out near the Coronado islands,
yesterday. They were very much fright
ened, but describe the appearance of the
monster as follows: The body was about
fifty feet long, the head about ten feet,
and the tail at least one hundred feet.
The creature was moving very rapidly
southwark, it's head elevated about six
feet from the water, and seemed to be
catching fish or seals, as it constantly
ducked it's head in the water, which was
quite calm, except in the wake of this
monster. When last seen it had turned
to the northward, as though to go round
the island. 1t was of a brownish color
and apparently about three feet in di-
ameter. Captain Gus Gregory and Jack
Wall have chartered the Cuyamaca to go
out on prospecting tour, as it is be-
lieved the serpent lives in the kelp out
side, where there is good feed for such
creatures. They place implicit faith in
the story of the Cinnamon.

Niagara Suspension Bridge.

The Utica Herald says: The Suspen-
sion bridge over Niagara river was built
in 184S, by Roebling of Trenton, N. j.
1t was the first railroad bridge built
over The Niagara river, and hao span of
821 feet. Wire cables sustain the bridge
with stiffening of timber trussing, and
between the abutments are 900 tons Of
wood and 400 tons of iron. The passage
of an ordinary train, estimated to weigh
eighty tons, caused a DETECTION of Al
foot, of which it is estimated that 1872
foot was due to the elongation of the
cables There are two floors, one nine
teen feet above the other, leaving q clear
space of fifteen feet between them. The
lower one is used for vehicles and foot
passengers, and the upper one contains
the foot paths. The upper flooring is
245 feet over the surface of the water.
Two cables support each roadway, four
in all, and all are connected, so that the
strain is distributed.
The cables are ten and half inches in
diameter, and are composed of seven
strands of $40 wires each, every wire cal
culated to bear weight of 1,648 pounds
or $4,000 tons in all The upper cables
are brought, by means of braces, to with
in thirteen feet of each other at the cen
ters, and the suspenders incline inward
to give q broader base to the structure
and insure stability. A separate tower
supports each pair Of cables. The upper
and lower floors are connected by wooden
posts in pairs five feet apart, with one
inch diagonal truss rods of wrought iron
passing from the top of one pair to the
bottom of the fourth over a space of
twenty feet on each side, secured by
screw nuts to allow for shrinkage.
Diagonal wire stays extend from the top
Of each tower to prevent vertical oscilla-
ton, and smaller stays attached to the
under side are anchored to the rocks
below.
The new bridge, nearer to the falls,
was completed in 1869. 1t has a span of
1880 feet, and is sustained by two cables
about nine inches thick.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.
labors come to naught.

Lingering labors come to naught.
Dull not device by coldness and delay.
The steps of faith fall on the seeming
void, and find the rock beneath.
A cheerful face is nearly as good for an
invalid as healthy weather.
Though fame is smoke, its fumes are
fraukincense to human thoughts.
He only is an acute observer who can
observe minutely without being OBJ
served.
Faith is the root of all good works. A
root that produces nothing is dead.
Let us fear the worst, but work with
faith the best will always take care of
itself.
The proper means of increasing the
love we bear our native country is to re-
side in a foreign one.
Philosophy is a modest profession; it
is all reality and plain dealing. We hate
solemnity and pretence, with nothing
but pride at the bottom.
The pleasure of being master of ones
self and of ones passions should be bal
anced with that of controlling them; it
will rise above, if we know what is
liberty.
Perseverance merits neither blame nor
praise; it is only the duration of our in
clinations and sentiments, which we can
neither create noe extinguish.
The most positive men are the most
credulous, since they most believe them
selves, and advise most with their falsest
fatterer and theirworst enemy, their own
self-love.
Perseverance is one of the primitive
impulses of the human heart; one of the
indivisible primary faculties or senti-
ments which give direction to the char
ac,er of man.
Whenever you commend, add youl
reasons for doing SO; it is this which dis
tinguishes the appreciation of a man OF
sense from the fattery of sycophants and
admiration of fools.
The love of country produces good
manners, and good manners also produce
the love of country The less we satisfy
our particular passions, the more we
leave to our general.

A FugaciOus City.

The city of Baxter Springs, Kansas,
once upon time, acting under the State
law, issued and sold certain number of
bonds and when the coupons became due
repudiated them. The bondholders
brought suit, and the United States dis
trict court gave judgment in their favor
and ordered the city officials to satisfy
their demands, whereupon the indignant
property holders swore solemnly that
they would never pay cent of interest
or principal, and took up their city and
walked. A letter writer states that they
are moving their houses to the adjoining
towns and that the more important bust
ness firms are now arranging for the pur-
chase of eighty acres of land, north of the
town, to which they intend to move their
business houses. This will take most of
the personal property out of the city
limits, and so when the marshal proceeds
to levy on the city he will have to make
return of non est. Baxter Springs, as
city, will have gone where the woodbine
twineth in virgin luxuriance and settle
there "to grow up with the country"
while it's site shall never more be iphabi-
ted, but the wild beasts of the prairie
shall lie there, and the houses, which
have none to move them by reason of
mortgages, shall be full of doleful crea-
tures, and owls (Which indeed abound on
the plains) shall dwell there, and the
Kansas equivalent of satyrs shall dance
there

A Western Warrior Desnernte.

The Galveston (Texas) NeUs says that
about three weeks ago the Gillespie
County CTexas) Mounted Rifles captured
one Donaho and three other chaps, who
had robbed a mail stage between Austin
and Fredericksburg. On the person of
Donaho was found an incomplete letter,
which stamps him as one of the romantic
and sentimental sort of robbers read of
in dime novels. The young man will
have to serve five tnn years IN tho
panitentiarv before he can lay his for
tune at the feet of gentle Anna ra1so,as
and claim her hand. His loving epistle
reads thus:
Miss Annd Parsons
DEAR DARLING 'Tis with pleasure
that 1 seat my self on the Banks of Llano
River a Beautiful stream Rippling its
way through the Western armament and
on each side far as the eye Can behold
is Mountains and prairies which vast
herds of Buffalo roam the lean Cyote
Can be seen skulking around and all is
lovely to the eye of one sad Boy and
Could Anna But know the sad and
shocking feelings that exist in my bosom
When l think of my Anna who is so far
away. Yes the Rose the day star of my
life 1 am winding my way through this
barren Country to Mexico for my idea is
to be Western Warrior desperate, and
when 1 think Of you Anna we may never
see each other again but live with hope.
My desire is that we shall both pass the
short but treacherous hours away will
ing and well Darling to dream of you by
night and sigh for you by day What a
luxury for me it would be to behold your
illustrious imige yes Anna your eyes
burn Liquid fire so flaming to my heart
that is irresistible. Yes Anna as I
travel along the Western horizon I sell
dom meet any one except the old hunter
who is as grave as the Wind. My only
Companion is three young men it is
needless to assert that we are on the
make. We have lonsime Time of it we
Robed fellow to-day but did not get
much. We have no Certain Country to
dwell We inhabit the Western Country
and will continue until we get Rich
which most emphatickly think we will
and when we do am Coming Back to

Bound to no personal object except
yourself Yes wait for me and 1 Will
make you a generous husband.

Daniel Webster on Farming.
WASHINGTON. Marcl

WASHINGTON, marcn 10, lozl.
JOHN TAYLOR: am glad to hear from
you again, and to learn that you are well,
and that your teams and tools are ready
for springs work, whenever the weather
will allow you to begin. I sometimes
read books on farming, and l remember
that a sensible old author advises far
mers "to plow naked and to SOW
naked" BY this he means that there is
no use in beginning springs work till the
throw aside his winter ehSt SctofheSq eSq5@H6fFF 5@H6f olaS
his sleeves. Yet he says We ousht to he
gin as early in the year as possible. He
wrote some very pretty verses on the
subject, which, as far as L remember,
run thus:
While yet the spring is young, while earth un-
binds
The frozen bosom to the western winds;
While mountain SHOWS dissolve against the sun,
And streams, yet new, from precipices run
Zen in this early dawning of the year,
Produce the plow and yoke the sturdy steer,
And goad him till he smoke beneath his toll,
And the bright share is buried in the soil.
John Taylor, when you read these
the little streams beginning to run down
the southern slopes of your Punchnrook
pasture, and the new grass starting and
growing in the trickling water, all green,
bright and beautiful I? And do you not
see your Durham oxen smoking from
heat and parspiration as they draw along
your great breaking-up plow, cutting and
turning over the tough sward in your
meadow in the great field? The name
of this sensible author is Virgil, and he
gives farmers much other advice, some OF
which YOU have been following all this
winter without even knowing that he had
given it.
But when cold weather, heavy SHOWS and rain
The laboring farmer in his house restrain,
Let him forecast his work with timely cares
Which else is huddled when the skies are fair
Then let him mark the sheep, and whet the
shining SHARE
Or hollow trees for boats, or number Der
His sacks, or measure his increasing stores
Or sharpen stakes, and mend each rake and
fork,
So to be ready, in good time, to work;
Visit his crowded barns at early morn;
Look to his granary, and shell his corn
Give good breakfast to his numerous kline,
His shivering poultry and his fat'ning swine
And Mr.. Virgil says some other things
which you understand up at Franklin as
well as ever he did:
In chilling winter swains enjoy their store,
Forget their hardships, and recruit for more ;
The farmer to full feasts invites his friends,
And what he got with pains, with pleasure
spends;
Draws C. airs around the fire. and tells once
more
Stories which often have been told before;
Spreads clean table with things good to eat,
And adds some moistening to his fruit and
meat.
They praise his hospitality, and feel
They shall sleep better after such meal
John Taylor, by the time you have
got through this you will have read
enough. The sum of all is, be ready for
your spring work as soon as the weather
becomes warm enough, and then put
your hand to the plow and look not
back. DANIEL WEBSTER.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1877-03-31

1t was raining steadily now, and the
gloom was intense; but Selim was used
to the road, and he was sure footed and
his rider courageous. She urged him
ON at the top of his speed, up hill and
down, through Pine valley and over
Pulpit hill, and then she struck upon
the smooth road which stretched away
to Leeds, two miles, as straight an an
arrow.
She could see the headlight on the pay
train far down the valley, distinctly now,
and to her excited fancy if seOmod but a
stones throw away. She even thought
for moment that she heard the grind of
the wheels on the iron track, but, no
it was only the soughing of the wind in
the pines.
On, and still on she went. Selim
seemed to fly. One might have fancied
that he knew his mistress was on an
errand of life and death. The lights of
the station were in view-nay, she even
saw the station masters white lantern as
he strolled up and down the platform
the white lantern which was to signal
the approaching train-to tell them to
go on, for all was well. On to their
doom
She dashed across the railway track,
flung the reins to an amazed bystander,
and, striking the white lantern from
the hand of the astonished official, she
seized the ominous red lantern from its
hook, and springing upon the track,
waved it in the very teeth of the coming
train.
Two sharp, short whistles told her that
her signal was seen, and n moment later
the train came to stop, and the officers
rushed out to learn what it all meant.
Floss told them in few brief words,
and one of the men at the station went
forward to confer with the train from
Golosha, which had not yet been tele-
graphed from the next station NEond.
The man waited fifteen minutes before
Kirke's train slid on to the siding, and it
was then known that but for the decision
of one young girl, the two trains must
have collided four miles beyond Deer
ing's Cut.
When told the story Kirke looked at
his watch.
The man from the station looked at
his.
Kirke's was ten minutes behind time 4!
You want to know how it happened.
Certainly you must have guessed. HalE-
day did it. A man was found the next
day who confessed to have seen Jack
tampering with the time pieces in the
engine house that night, but he had
thought nothing of it, he said.
Jack? Oh, he left town, and was last
heard of in Australia. His little game
was not success.
A few months later, Kirke was married
to Floss Whately, for being ten minutes
behind time.

She Knew Him.

Under date East Windsor, % May,
1907, the following appeared in the
Connecticut COurdnt. Thomas Hutch
ins has advertised that have absented
myself from his bed and board, and for
bid all persons trusting me on his ac-
count. l now advertise the public that
the same Thomas Hutchins came as a
fortune teller into this town about ayear
ago, with recommendation which with
some artful falsehoods, induced me to
marry him. OF the four wives he had
before me, the last he quarreled away;
how the other three came by their deaths
he best can inform the public; but cau'
ton all widows or maidens against mar
rying him, be their desire for matrimony
ever so strong. Should he make his adj
dresses under feigned name, they may
look out for a little strutting, tal5ative,
feeble, meager, hatchet-faced fellow with
spindle shanks, and little warped in the
back. THANKFUL HUTcH1Ns.

Why He Did Not Take 1t.

The following anecdote of the late
Senator Nye is told by the Virginia City
New Enterprise:
"He was telling us Incidents OF Jour-
ney to Europe, from which he had then
Just returned. Among the rest, he said
the sultan of Turkey ordered in his
honor, as a senator of the United States,
a grand review of the army in Constantl-
nople, and the grand vizier mounted
him pom steed which he described as
magnificent. Said Nye: He was a
pure Arabian. He had a coat like vel
vet he felt like a myriad of steel springs
beneath a man his eye was between
lion and woman's, with all the cour-
age of the one and all the human gentle
ness and beauty of the other blended ;
he knew I was an old man and was as
tender of me as a child. When L dis
mounted [ could not refrain from ex-
pres sing to the grand vizier my admira-
tion for the incompatible creature. de
heard me through an interpreter, and
then, bowling low, begged me to accept
the horse as q mark of the profound re-
gard which the sultan entertained for
me. Dld you accept niLi, senaVol
we asked. A peculiar look came into the
old mans eyes as he replied | made
rapid calculation an | saw that l had not
enough money, and could send to no
place for enough money, to pay the
freight on the animal to New York, so L
took high ground. 1 bowed low in re-
turn to the grand vizier, and bade the
interpreter explain to him that while
touched to the heart by this appreciation
and generosity of the sultan, it was. l
was sorry to say, against the laws of my
country for senator of the United
States to accept present from any for
eign prince, potentate or power. "

The Revenge of Rain-in.the.Face.

The Revenge of Rain-in-the-Face. .
In that desolate land and lone,
Where the Big Horn and Yellowstone
Roar down their mountain path,
BY their fires the Sioux chiefs
Muttered their woes and griefs,
And the menace of their wrath.
Revenge !" cried Rain-in-the-Face,
Revenge upon all the race
OF the white chief with yellow hair ~
And the mountains dark and high
From their crags re-echoed the cry
OF his anger and despair.
In the meadow, spreading wide
BY woodland and river side
The indian village stood;
All was silent as a dream,
Save the rushing of the stream
Aud the blue jay in the wood.
In his war paint and his beads,
Like bison among the reeds,
In ambush the Sitting Bull
Lay with three Thousand braves
Crouched in tho clefts and caves,
Savage, unmerciful!
Into the fatal snare
The white chief with yellow hair
And his three hundred men
Dashed headlong, sword in hand
But of that gallant band
Not one returned again.
The sudden darkness of death
Overwhelmed them, like the breath
And smoke of furnace fire;
By The rivers bank, and between
The rocks Of the rayine
They lay in their bloody attire.
But the foeman fled in the night,
And -the-Face, in his flight,
Uplifted high in air
As a ghastly trophy bore
The brave heart, that beat no more,
OF the white chief with yellow hair.
Whose was the right and the wrong?
Sing it, oh, funeral song
With a voice that is full of tears,
And say that our broken faith
Wrought all this ruin and scathe,
In the Year of Hundred Years.
Henry W. Lonqfel'oec.
