CAPTURE Ofa Marine Monster.

A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Horseshoe, n. J., says Yester-
day afternoon, when about ten miles
OF Squan Beach, the crew
OF the fishing smack George W. Rod
gers noticed what they supposed to be
y small whale from the regularity Of
its "blOw." A yawl was manned and
chase given. When the yaWl ap-
preached near enough to permit the
use of the hsrpOon 1t was discovered
that the origin OF the "blOW" WAS not
that Of whale, but something in the
shape Of a turtle. Its color Wag Jet
black. 1t struggled 80 fiereely that no
account Was taken Of its other pecu-
lIarities, the men being intent on its
capture. Not until IL had been har-
pOOned in several places was the sup
posed turtle secured. 1t was tOWed
TO the smack and hOisted on deck,
when all hands were astOnished TO
find it quite unlike anything ever be-
fore taken in these waters. lt weighs
about ! 900 pounds, and il in many
respects shaped like a turtle, bat no
part Of It's outer casting is OF a con-
sisteaey to be digDiiied by the term
shell. The head Is shaped Ike tur-
ties; the fiukes are under, but the
back and belly are radically different.
The back OF the monster is eOnvOlut-
ed, and cOncave seams run fore and
aft. The hsrpOons found ready lOdg-
ment in the back, which is no tough
er than an alligaIOT's. The skull is
hard, but the lip or bill Is rather soft
and slightly flexible. The mouth snd
gullet are lined with soft white teeth,
some Of them two inches long. Even
these are cartilsginous, ard all have
sn inclination downward. Tue heSd,
fiuke and back are jet black the bel
Iy, sides and neck mottled with great
white spots. A fiesh-cOlOred phallus,
weighing probably five pounds, gives

UOI. RIIsEorih's Grave.

As / drove through MechRnic5ville
"a little hamlet which divides the
thirty-mile ride from the Troy Boat
the other day, learned some new
things.
The quaint old inn, painted with
yellow Oehre, and covered with wood
bine, has been standing there half a
century.
Near by is the little wood cottage
of Ephraim F.. Ellsworth, father OF
Col. Elmer +. Ellsworth, who was
killed by Jackson at the Marshall
House, Alexandria, in 1861. As
used to know the Colonel, having
once roomed with him q few days,
when we were boys, in Washington,
/ felt an anxiety to see his father and
mother. So, in company with 3
young gentleman of the town, Drop
ped in on the venerable pair. The
Ellsworth cottage is q little wooden
country affair, with story and half
upright and a One-stOry wing. Around
the house is beautiful garden, filled
with growing vegetables and fruit
trees.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellsworth are q ven-
cradle couple, and chlldless, they liy e
alone in the world. The only son,
who gave up bis life for the Republic,
lies on the hill behind the house. The
aged father was lying on the bed with
a rheumatic attack disease which
they all have in this otherwise
healthy limestone region. Through
the kindness OF the late Secretary
Stanton and the martyred Lincoln,
he holds a modest position in the
Champlain Arsenal at Vergennes, n.
Y. This small salary enables him to
live.
In the parlOr were numerous pic
lures of the Colonel, taken while a
Chicago ZOuave, and also while Colo
mel of the Fire Zouaves. In one place
over the Colonel hung Frank Brown
ell, who so quickly avenged his death
by killing jackson. Near the Colo
mel hung Miss SpOdOrd, to whom he
was engaged when he was killed.
On the hill behind the house Is the
fine monument which has been erect
ed to the honor of Col. Ellsworth.
"Who put up that monument ?" 1
asked the gray-haired father.
"rThIs is the way of It." said the old
gentleman. "When Elmer's regi-
ment Of Zouaves were bivOuaeked in
the Capitol in '61, WillRrd's Hotel
caught fire, and Elmer let them all
out to put it out. The next day after
the fire was extinguished, the Will
lsrds sent him $500, which he cent
to James Kelley, ex-Postmaster
of New York City, with the idea OF
buying badges for his whole regi-
ment. When my son was killed,
the regiment voted this $500 toward
his monument but voted, when il
was used, that a certain long resOlu-
/ tion should be put on the stone; and
Pm told by stone cutters that it would
have cost $500 just to cut so many let
ters, so we had to leave them off"

ty. / sold my life insurance policy

BILLIARDS.

The man who attempted TO estsb-
lish billiard saloon in the moral
town Of Oberlin has had q strong tide
OF opposition to work against, and the
matter has not YET been settled. The
Cincinnati Gazette says
Oberlin Is peculiarly a college town.
Its ten or twelve hundred students
are the chief social and material in.
terest. The college was founded on
strict rules OF morals and manners,
and its influence has kept the town
free from the usual demOraliZing in
strumentslities. Whether by posi-
tive rule, or by the force of precept
and example, the students are kept
from the use of tobacco. In the
principal colleges East there seems to
be fashion which drags the verdsnt
students into this nasty habit. There
is very little tobacco sold In the town
Oberlin. The Inhabitants have sue
eeeded in preventing the sale Ofspirits
or beer.
OF course this could not be without
moral atmosphere, which frOwned
down these things, and made them
disreputable. 1t may seem very puri-
tanie to the careless, but one would
suppose that there are parents who
would prefer to send their sons to q
college where they are apart from
contact with the vices, than to one
where these are the college fashion.
The Oberlin people have thwarted ef-
forts to set up the sale Of that insid-
ious alcoholic drink, beer. Lately the
enemy has approached in the insid-
iOus form OF q billiard saloon, with
such temperance drinks as lemonade
and pop.
Regarding this as an entering
wedge, the inhabitants have brought
their preventive means to bear. At
first they enter the placs in large
number, In the manner Of the crusad-
ers; but upon the resistance Of the
proprietor they Withdrew and estab-
lished q vigilance siege, by setting
two women sentinels before it, to
take down the names of those who
enter. These are relieved at regular
times, and so the watch is kept up.
The Indifferent and thOughtless will
say this is too rigid, and that billiards
are mild and innocent. But so are
lettering, lOunging, and lOafing ins
nocent. VagsbOndage is innocent.
There can hardly be q more inane
spending Of time than In billiards.
There Is nothing either mental or
muscular in it. 1t is place for lOiter-
ing I'm mental vacuity and the prac.
tIce OF buying drinks, which it direct
Iy encourages, Is not likely to stop at
lemonade and pop. The boy who ac-
quires a need OF billiards, has got an
expensive habit that will spend
money which would buy him that
which would be an improvement and
q credit to him.
In such q place as Oberlln there is
no class that wants billiards. The
setting up OF q saloon for billiards is
an attempt to create the want of 1t.
It Is an innovation, and the Oberlin
people properly regard it as the head
OF the camel, which, 10 admitted, his
whole body will follow. Oberlin is as
different from Cincincinnati as y Sun
day school picnic Is from a twenty
five cent dance at beer hall, and IT
has a right to enforce prohibitions
which would be vain here and we
hope that its defense against the ag-
gressive billiard saloon will force that
concern to capitulate.

A Bank "Reminiscences.

Secretary Sherman in making his
arrangements to roll out the heavy
silver dollars over the country through
the mails will appreciate the little
story told by Nathan Sargent Oliver
Sargent about Nicholas Blddle and
the Savannah branch bank. One Of
the assaults against the United States
Bank was the calculated happy
thought to prove its insolvency by
breaking one OF It's branches, of which
there were ten or twelve situated in
different cities. Savannah was far
distant from Philadelphia in those
days, and the business of the bank
was comparatively small, consisting
chiefly OF drafts upon cotton sales re-
quiring very little specie, OF which
there was but q small amount kept in
its vaults, compared to its bills in cir
culatiOn. 1t would be an easy matter,
therefore, so calculated the opposing
parties, to secure quietly q large
amount OF the bills, present them for
redemption, before the bank had no.
tice, make run on 1t, in other words,
and have the bills protested and its
doors shut; thus proving the insOl-
vency Of the branch, it would react on
the parent concern.
So the scheme was set going. But
Mr.. Nicholas BiddIe sat In his count
ing-hOuse reading the weekly returns
Of the branch tanks. For several
weeks lie observed the reports from
one branch after another. "We re-
turn you less than our average Of
Savannah branch notes." Just what
it meant was not apparent, but 1t
meant something evidently, so the
ready President, keeping his own
counsel, quietly shipped S2O0,0 Of
specie to the Savannah branch, with
3 letter of caution and advice to the
President. Meanwhile the New York
operator, having secured something
ike SIS, 900 OF the bills Of the Savan-
nah branch bank started for that
place, secure In his scheme. Arrived
there he asked private interview Of
the President, and informed him that
he was q New York broker, and had
q quantity OF bills for redemption,
PROBABLY 3 much larger amount than
was usually presented at any one
time. To his surprise the President
did not appear at all Disconnected,
but politely replied that he would be
happy TO give him drafts on
New York or New Orleans for the
amount. These, however, were de-
elined, and the specie demanded.
The President reminded him that he
could get the So eeie for the drafts in
New York and so save tr ranspOrtatiOn
and insurance. But the broker ina
sisted on the specie, and so it was
counted ont, keg after keg. When
about hundred thousand dollars had
been counted and still the kegs kept
rolling out, the broker saw that he
was Outwitted, and kindly offered to
change his mind and take drafts in
stead. But the President told him be
was really very much obliged to him
for relieving him OF the specie, but
couldn't think OF taking 1t back. So
the gentleman had the satisfaction OF
shipping the specie back to New
York and paying both freight and in
surance on it.-E3tiLddeipItiG Ledger.
