A Rival TO the Sea Serpent.

The sea serpent has a rival. 1t is a
land animal; an animal as large, as fan
tastic, and as elusive as the celebrated
monster of the sea-and at least twice as
mysterious.
The minhocao is the new wonder. a
very slight change in its name might
have prejudiccd the world against it-as,
for instance, if it had been haptized min
hoaXo. 1t is well fnthered in the realm
of science, being brought to notice by
one Fritz Muller, Of Brazil, in the Z00-
jogjshe Garten, and receiving II full page
of large type in a recent number OF
Nature. The minhoaco is believed to
he resident Of the region Of South
America where the Uruguay and Parana
rivers have their sources. The animal is
sal by different observers to have the
following characteristics 1t is worm
shaped; about eightytwo feet long (by
guess and more than a yard in thickness ;
mot very long,' however, according to
another account two horns on the head q;
IL shout like a pig; a less definite dcscrip-
ton makes the animal "as big as IA
house, and measurement of the track.
indicates its possible width at six and-a-
half ts ten feet. Some years ago, it is
said, there was II dead minhocaO wedgcd
in the cleft of a rock near Arepehy, Uru-
quay; its skin was as thick as the bark
OF a pine tree, and formed of hard scales
like those of the armadilo.
The new animal is, however, chiefly
known by his works. Great trenches
are found in this region, which are sup
posed to be the evidence of the min
hocao's industry. Heaps of earth are
turned up in the process, and where pine
trees stand in the way of the trench,
they are rooted up, and sometimes part
of their bark and wood may be torn off.
The devastation of this performance,
which is chiefly near or under the sur
face of the earth, though often under the
bed of Il stream, is enormous. In one
case the entire side of a hill was under
mined, it is supposed by two of these
animals, and was traversed by deep
trenches. by such proceedings, marshc.
have been drained, or d,y land converted
into morass, and the courses of streams
entirely changed. Some of the trenches
are spoken of as being from three fourth'
of a mile to mile in lesgth. They are
cXcavatcd with great rapidity.
1t will be noticed that the new aspir-
ant for fame has been almost as little
seen rs the sea-serpent. The subtcr
rancan monster is simply more fortunate
| than the submarine in leaving more pal
| pablo traces than t. wake of foam We
may expect soon to hear Of Il scientific
expedition TO Uruguay in search Of the
minhucao. Whether it viii be found
like a ceratodus or a lcpidosiren or 4
| plyptadont, it is yet too soon to guess
possibly when unearthed it will be rccog
nized AS the descendant Of one of the 81
gantic armadllos that certainly dwclt in
South America during the reptilian age
of geology. " Y. Tribune.

DEATH RATE IN VARIOUS OCCUPA-
TIoNs.-Nobody doubts that the occupa-
ton of an individual has much to do
with his general health, and with his
chances of death. Statistics prove that
the death rate is lowest among scientists
and professional men-not physicians /;
then follow Protestant clcrgymen, engi-
ncers, farmers and laborcrs; next Clrpen-
tiers, machinists, and workers in iron !;
then come schooimasters, tobacconists,
physicians, and finally the clergy of the
Roman Catholic church, among whom
the mortality is much greater than among
the Protestant clergy and the other pro
LESSONS named. Next we have druggists
and butchers, then miners and glass manu-
facturers, plumbers and coppersmiths,
railway employees and dock labOrers, and
last of all carmen, cabmcn, horse keepers,
and inn-keepers, among whom the NOR
tally is greatest, and much more than
double that of the first mentioned occu-
patton.
The deduction which may be drawn
from these facts are very Instructive and
practically useful; they prove that the
quiet pursuits of science tend to prolong
life rs well as out door labor, provided it
is not on railways or among shipping or
horses that to work in iron Is more whole
some than to work in lead or copper, "a
might be expected, while the coutipei la
Dor of schoolmastcr is as injurious as
the state of celibacy of the Roman Cath
Ollie priest; lastly, the inn keepers, belt

Haley, master, and Fred Moore, clerk, ar
rived in this city yesteeday morning from
Spotted Tail agency. She brought few
passengers, but no freight worth mentioning
She will leave to-day for Elk Point, from
which place she will take a load of lumber
to Yankton. Yesterday Capt. Haley visited
the wholesale merchants of this city, solicit
ing their patronage whenever they had goods
to ship up river that could be placed on his
boat. He met with good encouragement on
every hand. The merchants feel disposed
to throw all the business in the way of Capt.
Haley they possibly can, for he is a citizen
of this place, his interests are identical with
those Of the city, he has put his capital into
a boat for the express purpose Of plying be-
tween this city and upper points, and they
feel it their duty to patronize him. Several
of them express themselves very anxious to
assist him in securing patronage, and no
doubt they will. Now that Capt. Haley
has his money invested in the boat it will
be hoped by all that he will find business
enough to keep him busy, and render him a
air and W ell-deserved income.

TOO MUCH MARRIED.

A man calling himself F. Sebold, has
been a resident of this village for the past
two OF three years. Latterly he has been
in poor health and fearing that he would
not ecove seems to have been stricken
with q tit of "quickened conscience" He
recently confessed to his wife that he had
been married twice before and that INT Of
said wives be supposed to be still living.
He admitted that he had children by both
wives, whom he had abandoned and that
his real name was not Sebold. His real
name he says is lisa Inman. His present
wife, who is q daughter of Rev. ]. Mason,
Of Blodgett's Mills, and by whom he has
one child has taken her child and gone
home to her father. We understand that
Sebold has gone to the county house. Sc
bold is a good looking man, between As and
so years of age, and according to his own
story, an accomplished william.
The foregoing item. cnt from the Cort-
land IN. W Democrat of August 9th, re-
fers to a former resident of this city, who
built and for some time managed the Amerl
can house, and who in some respects sus.
tanned a tolerable character, though in Others
he was denounced as a monster of domestic
cruelty. He was charged, while living al
his house in lower Yankton, with having
crippled his boy for life by kicking him
down stairs, breaking the ribs of his mother
in-law by throwing her out of the house,
and many other brutal acts; and very dark
suspicious were freely broached, at the
death of n of his wives, that a poisonous
medicine had been administered by him
him with full knowledge and intent, con-
trary to the doctors explicit orders. He is
low said to be perishing with consumption
and in utter restitution, except as provided
for at the county alms-house.
