All our District Jungcs are now in the Territory. This fact is an unpleasant one for "refomers;' it deprives them of pet courage on the dear people" Judge his tirs1 absence from the Territory, and went on to Tucson the same day. Judge Silent has not been away. Judge Porter is here, though he might as well be absent, as there has been, and is, no business for him to attend to. The report that he had gone to Nebraska was as truthful as the other re- form yarns about him; he was gone to Los Angeles for few days to see his wife whose life has been in a critical condition for some weeks, and who is in that city for medical treatment. But such trifies as truth must not stand in the way of ''reform;' not till after election, anyway Yuma Sentinel.

battle Of Gettysburg. Two batteries OF
SIX guns each were added to the artil-
lery. One, the Baltimore Light Artil-
lery, at Winchester, came with I'm
boden.
The effective strength Of Lees army
available for the battle of Gettysburg
was: Infantry, 61,331; cavalry, 5000;
artillery, 1913; total, 82,3O4.
All of these figures are based upon
reliable confederate authority, except
the strength of Davis brigade, which is
estimated at &, 200. Two of its regim ents,
the Forty-second Mississippi and Fifty
fifth North Carolina, were new to the
army, and probably had full ranks.
The other two, the Second and Eleventh
Mississippi, had not been engagedin any
OF the battles of the army since Ante
tam. The Second Mississippi, which
had suffered most severely in the battles
in which it had taken part, had $50 men

The Sea.Serpent of Nahant.
Harper's Magazine for May.

There is one topic with which the an
mails of Nahant are indissolubly united
that we feel a natural difidence in APP
preaching, yet cannot in conscience ig-
more, and that is the sea-serpent Words
are inadequate to describe the wide
spread CONSERVATION which the appari-
ton Of such a monster created among
the hardy population Of our New En-
gland seaboard, for he was soon per-
celved to possess none Of the attributes
of sportive and harmless fish, but to
belong strictly to the reptile tribe. And
what reptile! The most exaggerated
reports of his length prevailed in the
fishing towns of Cape Ann. Ons skip
per swore that he was as long as the
mainmast of a seventy-four; another
would eat him if the steeple of Gloaces-
ter meeting could hold a candle
to him for length: still another declared
upon his affidavy" that having sighted
the shaggy head Of the snake early in
the morning, with a stiff six-knot breeze,
and everything full, he had been half a
glass in overhauling his tail, as he lay
motionless along the water.
For time nothing else was talked of
but the wonderful sea-snake which was
repeatedly seen in Gloucester Bay, in
August 1917. and occasionally also in
the waters Of Nahant Bay, by hundreds
of curious spectators, who ran to the
beach or pushed off in boats at the first
news of his approach. There WAS not
a fsh-wife along thirty miles of coast
who did not shake in her shoes when
he was reported in the offing. But as
time wore on, and the serpent's pacific,
even pusillanimous, disposition, became
evident, courage revived, and though
the fish was strange one, the fisher
men determined, with characteristic
boldness, on his capture.
Stimulated, also, by the large reward
offered for the serpent, alive or dead,
vessels were fitted out, manned by ex-
pert whalesmen, which cruised in the
bay. The revenue vessel then on the
station was ordered to keep vigilant
lookout. and her guns double-shotted
for action. Nets were also spread in
his snakeship's accustomed haunts, and
one adventurous fellow, who had ap-
preached SO near as to see the white Of
his glittering eye, emptied the contents
of a ducking gun into the monsters
head. But he bore charmed life, and
having easily eluded his pursuers, deri-
sively shook the spray of Nahant Bay
from his tail ere he disappeared in the
depths of the ocean. Since this time
the gigantic ophidian has never revis-
tied Nahant, though tidings have lately
come of him from other climes. His
stuffed skin was never destined to adorn
the walls of museum, and it is doubt
full if he will ever know other pickle
than his native brine

Lord Leitrllll.

A London correspondent of the New
York World gives the following account
of Lord Leitrim, who was assassinated
by his evicted tenants on the I'd inst:
William Sydney Clements, third
Earl of Leitrim, succeeded his father in
1854, and within a few years of his &C
cession to the title and to the estates in
Donegal, Leitrim and Kildare, his name
had become a symbol of terror over his
vast possessions, which comprised near
ly ninety thousand acres of territory.
An attempt was made upon his life at
Manorhamllton many years ago, and
ever afterwards it was the habit of the
unhappy Earl to travel armed, and
even to keep loaded weapons lying on his
table while he was at meals. For many
years he never appeared on his estates
in Donegal unaccompanied by consta-
bles armed to the teeth. He first be-
came notorious IN the North by his
evictions in Ramelton and Milford,
when Mr.. Lavens, the Rev. Robert
White and others were the victims Of
of his arbitrary rule. His name added
for time a new word to the language,
for when tenants in Donegal were cause
lessly evicted from their holdings on
any estate the popular expression was
that they had been Leitrimed" This
one word was understood to express the
last measure Of injustice, harshness and
desolation. All through the decade
from 1857 to 1867, he reigncd in undis-
puted power In his own portion of the
barony of Kilmaerenan, for no one on
his estates chose to enter into conflict
with the man who had made such short
work Of recalcitrant tenants in Ramel-
ton and Milford. At length Mr.. Glad
stone came into power, and Lord
Leitrim was no Indifferent spec
tator Of the reforms which that
statesman proposed in the land
laws of Ireland. He raved against the
Land bill in the House of Lords, and,
when it became law in spite of his pro-
testations, he at once set to work to
compel his tenants to sign agreements
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-04-24

which would have debarred them from
making Or sustaining any claims under
the provisions of the act. These agree
ments were set aside by the Court for
Land Cases Reserved, on the suit of the
Rev. Mr.. Stevenson. From the year
1871, and EDWARDS, Lord Leitrim has
never been out of the Land Courts, and,
though he was generally wersted in the
encounter so far as compensation was
concerned, he had the satisfaction of
turning the tenants that resisted out of
house and home. In one case tenant
recovered forty-three years rent as
compensation for his confscated inter-
est in his farm. His lordship paid the
money, and next half-year set to
work for a new crop of evic-
tons. He had one remedy for the
peccadilloes of his Reconsideration
Ii they took STANDARDIZATION. If they
refused to give up field which he ca
priciously wanted to give somebody
else-eviction. If they contested bis
right to take the pick Of the family into
his domestic service-eviction. If they
controverted his decision about an ease
n1ent or right Of way-eviction 1t was
not any sordld love of money which
led to his dispute with the tenantry, for
had they been content to be slaves he
would have given them their slavery at
a cheap enough rate. An inordinate
love of power was the one quality which
dominated all his actions. He spent in
law on fishery case with Mr.. Stewart.
Of Ards, thousand times more money
than the fishery would be worth till the
crack of doom. His form was as familiar
in the law courts as that of the Chair
man Of the county, for he was always
present to superintend the con-
Quoting of his own case. When he
thought the lawyer employed by him
was too yielding or to am enable to rea-
son and law. he would take up the
cudgels himself and browbeat all round
until the judge called him to order.
His treatment of Mrs. Algoe in 1876
created widespread Indignation, and in
many homes dismay. Rackrenting
was not his foible, for the rents on his
Donegal estate are rather under than
above the average of rents in the coun-
ty, but morbid love of domineering
over human beings seemed to have fair
ly eaten him up. He thought nothing
OF spending EGO Or 93OO to spite and
ruin tenant who had taken cart of
seaweed in violation of his estate
rules. He represented County
Leitrim several years in the
House of Commons. In the House of
Lords he never spoke except on Irish
questions, and his brief speeches were
generally made in moving for returns
of one kind or another respecting land.
During last session Of Parliament he
was frequent visitor to the room
where Mr.. Lefevre's committee was sit
ting to take evidence on the operation
of the Bright clauses Of the land act
That the horrible crime which has
brought troubled life to close is of
an agrarian character can hardly be
doubted His relatives could, if they
chose, make serious demand upon
the local rates under the provisions of
the peace preservation act.

LAKE MICHIGAN has it's Grace Darling,
and her father and brothers are as brave
and heroic as she is herself. Sanford
w. Morgan is keeper of the ifesaving
station at Grand Point au Sable, Mich.
and after the close of navigation he al
lows the crew to go away for the winter,
but remains on the ground with his
daughter and his sons. At daylight on
March %, during one of the most vio-
lent gales of the season, with the sea so
boisterous that it was covered with
foam, a fishing boat was discovered
about three miles off shore, IL distress,
by Miss Edith. Quickly giving the
alarm to her father and two brothers,
she urged them to 60, volunteering to
take an oar herself to assist the crew.
It seemed as though boat could not
possibly live in the mighty waves, but
one was launched, and, after pull of
two hours, with seas breaking over the
small boat and threatening its destruc-
ton and the loss Of those on board, they
succeeded in reaching the wreck, to
find that one ofthe crew who had been
clinging to the side of the vessel had
become exhausted, and, letting go his
hold, had been drowned. Another sail
or, however was rescued as
he was about to give up, and
was taken ashore. Nor was this the
first time that the brave young girl had
ventured on an errand to save.--Neeo

Grant in Greece.

Of Gen: Grants visit to Athens, a
Greek writes thus to the Troy Times
!" Gen. Grant was walking about the
streets of Athens, examining with his
own eyes everything, to the greet de-
light of the Greeks, who continued to
visit him by thousands, putting down
names in book expressly kept in the
hotel for his visitors. In the course of
the six days that he remained among
us, every Greek saw his broad, honest
face. He, the king of kings, was seen
quietly slipping a cup Of coffee at
'Chaftia,' like any other mortal T am
sure he would have liked to eat some
roast lamb in the Greek way, under
some shade, if time and etiquette Of
diplomatic dinners had allowed him
such an opportunity. Then he would
have seen more of Greece, and liked
her the more. But from what he said,
and nobody doubts that he speaks his
mind,-he has been more pleased here
than he expected.

THE SENATE ON THE RESUMPTION ACT. d.
Washington advices of the 18th inst,
state that the exact position ofthe SEN
ate finance committee upon the bill to
repeal the resumption act, and upon
questions affiliated to it, is undoubtedly
this: The committee, with two excep-
tons, will report against the house bill,
which provides for an unconditional re-
peal of the resumption act, and will re-
port a substitute embodying the features
embraced in the four points here cited:
/. Four per cent. bonds shall be ex-
changeable for legal tender notes at
par.
The vote upon this proposition was
unanimous, with the exception of
Dawes, who is in Massachusetts, and
did not attend the meeting.
2. Legaltender notes, on July /,
1878, shall be receivable for custom
dues.
The vote upon this was five ayes to
two noes.
3. That section of the resumption
act which provides for the reti1 ement
of so per cent. of the circulation shall
be repealed.
Upon this the vote was five to three.
4. The resumption act is to be con-
strued to mean that legaltenders shall
be reissued after redemption Jan. 1,
1879, and shall not be destroyed.
Upon this the vote was five to three.
The Committee did not decide as to the
total volume of lega[tender notes to be
kept outstanding. Senator Allison is to

The torpedo has been heretofore sup
posed to be the most formidable
weapon in marine warfare, but if the
expectations Of the designer, M. Oh
livier, of Paris, Of the new submerged
vessel are realized, it will far surpass
the stationary torpedo in efficiency.
This boat can either float on the sur
face, or, by means of an arrangement
of wings or fins at the bow, be made to
descend under water to any required
depth. Provision is made for the res
