o'clock. when Mr. Stevens of she CONNER
cial Bank waded in and fixed strong
rope to the animals bead, and by the ex-
ertions of some seventy folk it was securely
dragged above high water mark. Its exact
appearance as it lies on the beach is as
follows: The extreme length is 10l feet,
and the thiokest part is about twenty-five
feet from the head, which is eleven feet in
circumference. At this part is fixed pair
of fins, which are four feet long by nearly
seven feet across at the sides. Further
back is a long dorsal fin, extending for at
least twelve or thirteen feet, and five feet
high in front, tapering to one foot. The
tail is more of fattened termination to
the body proper than anything else. The
eyes are very small in proportion and elon-
gated, and gills of the length of two and
half feet behind. There are no external
ears, and as DR.. Campbell did not wish the
animal handled till he communicated with
some eminent scientific gentlemen we
could not ascertain if there were teeth or
not. Great excitement is created and the
country people are focking in to view it.
This morning Mr.. Duncan Clerk, writer,
took possession of the monster in the
rights Of Mr.. M'Fee, of Appin, and Mr..
James Nicol, writer, in the name of the

Consular Reform.

The Secretary of State will make haste
slowly. He will avoid the removal oi
competent and efficient officers, but will
strive to weed out those untitled for the
positions they hold. Three important
principles have already been determined
upon by the Secretary of State to govern
him in a reformation of the consular SER
vice. They are as follows: First, it will
be his aim to fill all the important com
mercial consulates by the appointment Of
men of commercial experience; second,
in selecting consuls for Oriental ports,
where Judicial duties have to be per-
formed, none except educated lawyers
will be appointed; third, one of the essen
tial qualifications required of all consuls
viii be that they shall be able to speak
the language of the country in which they
are stationed. If the reform in the con-
sular service went no further than to
bring its personnel strictly under these
three rules, its efficiency would be very
greatly increased; but in addition to this
the Secretary Of State will strive to apply
those general principles Of civil service
reform which are to be recognized in all
departments of the government. -Neao
York Tribune.

The Ten nunchbnckn.

The particulars of o dlsgraceful hoax
perpetrated the other day at Alencon,
France, are given by local pepper. 4
young clerk in q notary's Office in that
town took it into his head to send a letter
to ten hunchbacks in various parts of the
country, whose addresses he had obtain
ed, requesting them to attend on a certain
day at the office Of his employer for the
purpose of receiving a communication of
great Importance to themselves. At the
hour named, when the first hunchback
made his appearance, the head of the
firm happened to be engaged, and he was
asked to take seat for q few minutes.
The other hunchbacks then began to ar
rive in rapid succession. A second soon
entered, followed by third and fourth,
The astonished clerks could hardly keen
their countenances as the four hunch-
backs glanced at each other suspieiouslv
out Of the corners of their eyes, and when
an avalanche Of six more hunchbaclrs
descended on the office in body the eff
feet was oYerpowering. The clerks could
no longer preserve their gravity, and even
the chief clerk himself was quite enable
to control his emotion. The only serious
persons in the Office were the ten hunch-
DICKS, Whol seeing tnaG there was "mys-
tifcation, lost their tempers, and in stem
torian voices gave vent to their irritation,
In the meantime the notary, alarmed by
The unusual noise, rushed into the room,
and was thunderstruek at finding ten in
furiated hunchbacks gesticulating and
gRbbling at the top OF their voices, while
the clerks were absolutely convulsed with
laughter. Peace being with difficulty
restored, the hunehbacks showed the let
ters they had received requesting their
PSesence ct the Office. The notary, with
many apologies, informed them that they
had been made the victims Of an iil-timed
pleasantly, and that the cuIprik when
discovered would assuredly be dismissed.

The flag Of the Prophet.

What is this flag Of the Prophet, around
which the turbaned, "the faithful" are
called upon to rally? The best author
tiles state that it was originally of white
color, and was composed of the turban OF
tho Koreish, captured by Mohammed.
A black flag was, however, soon SUBJ
stituted in its place, consisting of the
curtain that had hung before the door of
the Ayeshab, the favorite wife of the
Prophet, whose affection for her was SO
strong that he was wont to say that she
would be the first Of his wives to whom
the gates of paradise would be open. The
SsDjak-Sherif is regarded by the Moham-
medans as their most sacred relic. It
first came into the possession of the fol-
lowers of Omar, the second Caliph of the
Moslems, and generally regarded as the
founder OF the Mohammedan power, as
from mere sect he raised it to the rank
of conquering nation, and left to his
successors an empire greater than that
which Alexander of Macedon had made
and ruled in olden time. It was this
Omar who assumed the title of Com
n1ander of the Faithful" (Emir-al-mum-
enia) by which, as the readers of the
''Arabian Knights Entertainments" will
remember, the Caliph Haroun-al- -Raschid,
who was contemporary with Charlemagne,
was always addressed. The flag of the
Prophet passed from the followers of
Omar, at Damascus, into the hands of the
conquering Abbasides, in the middle of
the eighth century; next into those of the
Caliphs of Bagdad and Kahira. 1t was
brought into Europe toward the close of
the sixteenth century by Sultan Amurath
Ill, with whom Queen Elizabeth made a
treaty of commerce in 1879. 1t was de-
posted in Constantinople, where, covered
with forty-two wrappirgs of silk, it was
deposited in chapel in the interior of
the seraglio, where it is perpetually
guarded by several emirs with constant
prayers. 1t is known, however, that the
banner unfolded by the Moslems at the
beginning of the war, and likewise care
fully preserved, is not the same as the
identical flag which Mohammed had made
out of the white turban of the Koreish.
The Moslems believe that it is, and will
fight bravely under il, thus verifying Mo-
kanna's famous declaration, that

Thc sea Serpent Cauaht nt Lase.

A most extraordinary event has occurred
at Oban, which / give in detail, having
been eye witness to the whole affair. I
allude TO the strandirg and capture OF the
veritable sea serpent, in front of the Gale
donian Hotel, George street, 0ban. About
four o'clock yesterday an animal or fish,
evidently Of gigantic size, was seen sport
ing in the-bay near Heather island. Its
appearance evidently perplexed q large
number Of spectators assembled on the
pier, and several telescopes were directed
toward it. A careful look satisfied us that
it was Of the serpent species, it carrying
its head fully twenty-five feet above the
water. A number Of boats were soon
launched, and proceeded to the bay, the
crews armed with such weapons as could
be got handy. Under the direction of
Malcond Nicholson, our boatman, they
headed the monster, and some Of the
boats we're within thirty yards of it when
It suddenly sprang half-length out Of the
water, and made for the omen, A random
fire from several volunteers with rifles
seemed 70 have no effect upon it. Under
Mr.. Nicholson's order the boats now
ranged across the entrance of the bay,
and BY the screams and shouts turned the

Hotel. One boat containing Mr. Donald
Campbell, the fiscal, had most narrow
escape, the animal actually rubbing
against II. Mr.. Campbell and his brother
jumped overheard, and were picked 90
unhurt BY Mr. John d. Hardin, saddIer.
IN bis small yacht, the Flying Scud. The
animal seemed thoroughly frightened, and
as the boats closed in the volunteers were
