OocAsToxALL1 q ship II mid ocean Is
struck bv some unseen object and
sunk Latterly the opinion among
sea farlng" men has been gaining
ground. that the objects that sink
ships IN such mysterious ways are
not old huiks. or rocks, or bars I'M
charted under water, but that the
vesse,s are struck by monsters OF the
sea. 1t is not improbable that their
opinions may be entirely correct, for
what is known Of the fish inhabitants
must of necessity be surface lnOwl-
edge. Only the sea fish that come
I to the surface are the ones that are
4 l.n0wn. Is it not presumption to
suppose that the great deep places.
eight. ten, or twelve miles deep, have
no iuhabllants Is ii not more III
accordance with reason to suppose
that fish shat are in size proportioned
to the depth Of the deep places live
/ there, and that they rarely or quite
/ seldom rise near or t. the surface.
The following dispatch, under date
of the 9th INST, strengthens the
opinion mentioned above. The un
fortunate ship about to be mentioned
was struck by one Of the sea mon
. siers that was on an excursion toe
near tie surface of the ocean. But
here is the dispatch:
NV YoRK. Sept. 9.-The steamship p
Colnd, which arrived here to-day from Rot

The bark WAS struck by large fish or sei
monster and had mole knocked IN her bot

INTELLIGENCE from South Carolina,
under date of last Saturday, says
" Private letters recent 7 received from
South Carolina indicate that the recent
assassination of Alexander Brice, OF
" alfalfa, was kind of Yazoo per-
formance. Brice was a native, and a
staunck Republican. He had lately
undertaken the task of reOrganizng the
Republican party Of his county and 1t
is believed his murder was due to this
tact alone Shot by persons unknown
was the verdict Of the jury. The long
period of freedom from political vio-
lenee ard blOodshed in South Carolina ,
together with the fac. that the dOmi-
naut minority had nothing more to gain
politically, had given rise to the hope
that human life at least would be safe
in future political contests and that
better methods you'd gradually gain
favor. The hone seems not to have
been we'll founded"

How They Eat in Sweden.

An exchange gives the following ac-
count Of how they eat in Sweden. The
habit of lunching in the very presence of
dinner, or going to side table and eat
ing your fill of anchovies, raw behring's,
smoked beef and cold eel pie while din
ner is on the very table, still prevails,
and is hardly conducive to health. 1t is
said that the habit of taking "sup," as
the Swedes call it, arose from the search
ty Of delicacics. It was hard to get
enough of any one nice thing to make a
meal of, so you were first inuendoed off
to the brandy table, as it is called, and
then allowed to sit down to dinner. The
practice is universal in Sweden. Private
houses, hotels and boarding houses all
feed you on preliminary scraps, and woe
be to you if you innocently turn away
from the protfered luncheon You fare
like an ascetic and feed yourself on
doris. e. ng
The ordinary routine of dining seems
in Sweden to be in wild confusion. Scum
sometimes ends instead of beginning the
dinner. Iced soups and cold fish are
daintles to the Scandinavian palate. Much
Of the soup is nauseously sweet, favored
with cherries, raspberries and goose Der
ries, often with macaroon cakes and spikes
Of cinnamon floating wildly about in it.

home to me to morrow night unless you
have used it up over the head and
shoulders of somebody" There was no
appeal tor that A greater than the
whole class of 'sgreat gals" had spoken,
and we felt in our soul that fate was
standing at the school-house door. sr
Were we endowed with the epic rage
of Homer or Pope, we might possibly
depict the scenes Of the coming day.
How the ugliest loafer in q trock coat
licked in the door at recess; how when
the trembling young master asked, "Who
had done that?" the big boor lifted his
thumb to his nose, and executed that sig
niticant gyration with his little finger
which would make savage of St. John
himself; how, fired With the courage OF
despair and vision Of our farmhouse
Minerva. we seized the big oak ruler,
rushed up the inclined plane, upsetting
several small children on the way,
plunged at the throat of the insolent
scoundrel, tore off the collar Of his frock-
coat, snaked him down the area before the
fireplace, and beat him over the head and
shoulders till he reared for mercy; how
at intervals he cast glance up at his ac
completes and took in the situation :;
the "ten great gals" had spiked
the guns of all but this wretch, who skunk
and begged under our hands; how we
wound up with an eloquent address, and
gave the whipped ruffian his hat with in
structions to 60 home, how his sensible
father took off what remained of his dill
apidated frock- coat and trounced him till
he yelled again, and sent him to school
on the following day with compliment
to the plucky young master; all this
might be sung in heroic velse.
But, if the truth were known, it was not
we, but the "ten great gals" that did the
business. They had so demoralized the
attacking column by the magic of their
charms, that only one had the heart to
defy the little master, and he dared not
lift his hand when the day of battle came.
And from that day we crowned dear old
Aunt Anna prophecies oflove. Gain the
affections of the ''ten great gals" in your
school-room, "and all things shall work
together for good"
