CAPTURE OF A MARINE MONSTER.

\ dispatch to the New York Heraid
from Horseshoe. Y. j.. says: Yester-
day afternoon. when about ten miles
southwest of Squan Beach. the crew
of the fishing smack George W
Rodgers noticed what they supposed
TO be a small whale from the regular
ity of its blow" \ yawl was man
ned and chase given. When the yawI
approached near enough to permit
the use of the harpoon it was dis
covered that the origin of the blow
was not that of a whale, but some
thing In the shape of "A turtle. 1t
struggle SO freely that no account
was taken of its other peculiarities.
the men being intent on its capture.
Not until it had been harpooned in
several places was the supposed turtle
secured. 1t was lowed to the smack
and hoisted to deck. when all hands
were astonished to find it quite unlike
anything ever before taken in the
waters. 1t weighs about 900 pounds.
and is in many respects shaped like a
turtle, but no part of its outer casing
Is of a consistency to be dignified by
the term shell. The head is shaped like
a turtle S: the fiukes are under, but
back and belly are radically different
The back of the monster is convoluted
and concaye seams run fore and aft.
The harpoons found ready Judgment
in the back: which is no tougher than
an alligator 5. The skull is hard. but
the lip or bill is rather soft and slight
flexible. The mouth and gullet are
lined with soft white teeth, some of
them two inches long. Even these
are cartilegeous. and all have an in
clination downward. The head.
fuke and back are jet black; the belly
side and neck notified with great
white spots. A flesh-colored phallus,
weighing probably five pounds. gives
the monster peculiar appearance.

POETRY

Here is poetical gem, much above
the common run Of poetry now-a-
days.
Beneath the Caribbean waves,
Where few and faint the sunbeams smile
Wee builders near the architraves
vi some ma jestlc pile.
The toiling insect turns to stone.
The monumental tree doth rise,
And ne'er it adds a coral zone
Save as an insect Dies
II lifts the pillows from his head,
1t gathers sunbeams in its boughs;
And 'ganist its twigs of white and red,
Huge navies crate their prows.
A sound from out its heart doth creep,
That floats its stony leaves along,
A Memnon' s statue in the deep,
That turns its voice to song.
Within existence's sombre flow,
Along the line of truths dim ray.
Our human hands are rearing slow
Some pillar to the day.
We build our souls into a roof,
That rises through the ages sure;
IT'S red with joy, tits white with grief,
Lies currents wash it pure.
Let ocean beat its finty base,
And dash against its crest sublime;
1t laughs the tempest from its face,
1t spurns the shock of time.
Yes; something deathless we bequeath:
Each deed divine, each word devout,
Made hearts and lips of men, do breathe
A tender gospel out.
IT'S grand to change the silent mind
To acts, to perish in the night
And leave monument that still
Gropes upward to the light.

THE ram ON MR.. PILSBURY.


The Tilden wing of the Democratic party
in this State seem determined TO strip them
selves of the last shred of their long-sought
reputation as a party OF Reform. MIR. Tilden's
followers are outrunning even him IN their
zeal to get back into the old set" IheS
are now actually attacking the cher REFORM
effected by the new order OF Democratic ao-
ministrations and are trying to thrust the
man who has accomplished it out of the once
which they gave him. Superintendent Ills
bury, who has in the short space vi
nineteen months effected q saving IN STATE
Prison expenditures of more than S6Oo,oOo,
who almost wholly wiped out the amman de'
ficiency OF half million in the first year oi
his administration, and who has Improved tne
discipline of the prisons even more thah then
finances, is now the object OF q petty put
fierce attack by the reform" wing OF the
Democracy, who want the patronage OF his
position.
If this movement was made by the pro-
fessional spoilsmen of the Democracy, no
one would wonder; but it comes from the
Pharisees of the party, who openly thahK Uou
that they are purer than other Democrats,
who declare their devotion to reform ana good
government and ask credit for unremittlns
efforts to regenerate their associates 1t
comes from Mr.. Tllden, so it is said'
and from Governor Robinson, which Is
more to be wondered at; and from Con-
trolier Olcott, who went into office as shin
ing example of Civil Service Reform, being
banker and not a politician, and who seems
to have developed into mere wire-puiier.
Their charge against Mr.. Pilsbury seems to be
founded mainly upon an exceptional misfor-
time to which any over-worked man. taking
stimulants under medical advice, is liable.
Their purpose is plain. We warn Governor
Robinson against the folly of executing it. The
people of the State do not want to see the
prisons again in the hands of the old set"

We read Of the doings of Judge Lynch in his

Our Washington dispatches contain this
morning some extraordinary statements which
have been laid before the President and the
Attorney General, concerning the part taken
in executing the shotgun policy i'll
South Carolina by two aids of Governor
Hampton, and, indeed, by Governor Hamp-
ton himself. According to this story the
militia of the State have boldly engaged
in the work of bulldozng the colorcd voters,
even while wearing the State uniform, and have
been often led and encouraged in their acts by
two of Governor HamptOn's aids, who resort
to personal violence when mere clustering will
not carry the day. Governor Hampton was ap-
pealed to, and promised to do and say various
things but not only did not do or say them,
but actually saw, without a protest, personal
violence offered to a prominent Republican by
his aids at one of his meetings If these
assertions are northumberland they GER
tainly seem to bet will take a good deal of
letter writing to reestablIsh Wade Hampton

fifty men having hold of it, he was dragged on his
elbows and knees through the muddy and hthy

struck, the blood running off his face in streams
Hanged he undoubtedly would have been II the civil
officers had not, by strong effort. pistols in hand
rescued the wretch. In horrible condition he was
taken to New-Haven for safe-keeping, but there Is
some reason to believe that his injuries may prove
fatal Vilely criminal as he was. he was still I'M
der the protection of the law. so far from having
been convicted of any crime he had not even been
arraigned. According TO a time-honored maxim Of
the law, he had right to be considered innocent
If he dies he will have been murdered. IL those
who maltreated and tortured him are not arrested

report that DIR. Petermann, the eminent geogra-

acutely from frequent attacks OF bronchitis. He
was also much depressed for another reason. He
had been divorced from his first wife, an English
woman, on account Of incompatibility. She -
spoken of as woman of violent and
controlled passions. He was again happily mar
ried but his first wife continued to annoy
him with threats of revenge. 1t Is stated
that his father and brother both committed
suicide, and he hal foreboding that he might
follow their example All these unfortunate cir
cumsances tended to unsettle his intellectual fac
ulties, until at last he became irresponsible and
hanged himself. He was only ifty-sx years Of age.

The dispatches received by the President
and the Secretary of War from New-Oreans
prove how far the work of relief in the
South is from being ended. The suffering
and restitution visible in direct connection
with the plague form but small proper
ton of the want which must, by some means,
be relieved. The suspension of business has
thrown thousands out of places and checked
thousands of incomes, and, to quote the
words of Postmaster Badger, of New-Oreans,
SHOULD the yellow fever disappear to-mor-
crow, the charitable associations, with their
"present means, together with private chart
t" ties, would be inadequate to relieve the
restitution" 1t is not time yet for the
North to stop giving.

The business men seem to have entered
politics in their own way, and one that
promises to be of some effect. A meeting OF
prominent bank presidents, insurance presl-
dents, merchants, real estate owners and
Others was held, at which number OF LANES
of men who would be likely to enforce the re-
trenchment in the City Government which the
taxpayers demand, were put into debating
hopper, apd five were selected. These five
candidates these merchants are to urge upon
political organizations entirely indifferent
which of the FIVE are preferred, so long as
candidates are selected who will cut down
salaries and reduce taxes. This is the most
practical attempt that business men have made
of late to influence political movements IN be-
half of the taxpayers, and its outcome Will
be watched with interest.

The story is repeated from Turkey that the
Government still hesitates to carry out the
reforms in Asia Minor which Mr.. Layard pro-
posed. When 1t promised these changes four
months ago, it acted under a sense
of danger, but as it now secs no cloud
on the political horizon it il disposed to
shuttle and defer TO the last moment changes
which it has never heartily approved. The
temper of the people, and the poverty of the
Treasury are likewise obstacles in the way of
judicial and administrative reform.
