A Model 1ory.

Colonel Morgan is Tory after our
own heart. He has been making a speech
at the Abergavenny Agricultural Asso-
citation, and he has been making not only
a<peech, but discovery. He has found
out the cause of agricultural distress. II
is due to the Americans-not to the
American production of meat, but to the
American production Of bad weather.
They send out to these shores not only
corn and meat, but also storms. Col.
Morgan expressed the gentle hope that
next year "the Americans would have
these damnable storms they predicted
themselves, and that there would be a
chance for a poor wretched farmer like
himself.
"When seeing two fne.. ..days:.together OF
even twenty four hours, he thought he
saw chance of gathering in crop, he
looked into the evening papers only to
find another internal storm predicted
under these circumstances, he was afraid
he cursed the Yankees" Col. Morgan
seems to think that the Yankees make
storms for export across the Atlantic.
He confounds the prediction and pro-
duction. This is what Toryism has al
most always done. When reformer
has pointed out that danger threatened
and must be guarded against, he hes been
charged with causing the danger against
which he raised a voice of warning. Col.
Morgan is perfectly refreshing Tory,
whom we would not barter for whole
wilderness of Liberal Conservatives.

HARPOONING A DEVIL-FISH.
Captain Falcons Struggle With a
Monster i'm Tampa Bay.

monster IN lamp0 Bay
While talking over the incidents at
tending his cruise in the yacht Falcon
on the Gulf of Mexico the other day, to
party of Chicago friends, including a
reporter, Captain Peter Falcon, the noted
submarine diver, was asked if he ever
fell in with any of these ugly monsters of
the seattle devil-fsh-whose appear
ance SO many writers have given made
quate descriptions of. Captain Falcon
remarked that the devil-fsh must be
seen in all its horrible monstrosty to be
appreciated. He would not attempt a
description Of one, but he told thrilling
narrative of the manner in which himself
and companion captured one.
1t was about 4 o'clock on the afternoon
of the I'd of May last, when the Falcon
stood off the mouth of Tampa Bay, her
only occupants being her owner and
master, Capt. Falcon, and Fred Dawson,
of South Haven, Michigan, who had ac-
companied the former on the cruise. The
trim and stanch little craft was bowling
along at fair rate of speed, when the
Captain discovered half-a-dozen devil
fish going over the surface of the water
faster than one of our harbor tugs when
running "wide open" after tow. After
repeated efforts to get near one of the
Mephistopheles of the Gulf, they finally
succeeded in approaching within ten feet
of fellow of fair size, and Capt. Falcon
seized harpoon, and, with well-di-
rected effort, plunged it into the monster
so far that it penetrated its heart.
Nevertheless the big fish raiipf0r deep
water as if the very Old Nick himself
Was in him. The line attached to the
harpoon was paid out gradually, and the
yacht was plunging through the water
with an immense "bone in her mouth" /"
while in the wake of the flying monster
the seething and foaming sea was discol-
Ored with blood from the fatal wound.
The loss of blood weakened the leviathan
so the captain and his companion were
enabled to check him, and he was hauled
up alongside and raised sufficiently upon
the surface of the water to admit of a
close observation.
"Well," said the captain, bringing
down his fist SO as to express the stronger
his establishment at the sight; ait looked
the very devil himself. His mouth
measured thirty-two inches in width, and
was opened eighteen inches. From tip
to tip of his sucker was sixteen feet, and
about the same length from the tipof his
nose to the end Of his tail, which was
three feet long. We cut him adrift and
let him 90, thinking there wss no Life in

Both Parties KILLED in a Duel.


Helena (Mon.) Herald.l
From parties arriving from Beaver
head we learn that a duel, fatal to
both participants, was fought at Glen
dale, on Sunday morning last. A fued.
sometime existing between j. Little .
field and A. II. Foster, was the cause
of an angry quarrel, which, on several
occasions, came very zeal p~recipitat-
ing an armed encounter. They were
rivals for the affections of one and the
same woman. Foster was successful
in his suit for the hand of the lady,
married her and settled down to the
enjoyment Of domestic lifo. For
a spell the differences of the
two men were bridged over, or held
in check, awaiting a suitable
opportunity for their settlement. The
ardof of Littlefeld's love was not as
suaged by the lapse of time, nor his
ugly jealousy relieved by the vows
which separated the woman from his
possession. Revenge ranked in his
bosom, which opposition in business
served, perhaps, TO a%ggravate. The
trouble finally eliminated in a chal-
lenge to fight, and a meeting was
arranged as above stated. Neither
Shrank from the encounter, and each
used his revolver to kill. Both fred
simultaneously and each fell in his
tracks. Littlefeld was shot through
the heart, and died almost instantly,
while Foster, who was hit in a vital
part, expired four hours after. Both
were sporting characters.

that the additional votes thus gained,
should they all vote the Republican
or the Democratic ticket, will not
affect the general result in that State
a particle. Neither do | think it is a
scheme of land spectators, for the
emigrants have no money with which
to purchase land, and even if they
should buy the land on time they are
so internal lazy that they would never
improve it sufficiently to make enough
to pay for it. Besides there is plenty
Of State land in Mississippi which
they could have under the State
homestead laws for from $3.50 to $40
per acre-good land, too. So far, the
only ones to make money out of the
exodus are the transportation compa-
MES, and they have reaped a consider
able harvest.
All the talk about a guard of
white men armed with rifles and shot
guns to patrol the river banks and
prevent emigrants from leaving on the
boats, is sheer nonsense. Why, I've
