GRAHAM BREAD IN HISTORY. - The
chronological Journal for October is
the authority for the historical feature
of Graham bread. It says: During
the administration of William Pitt, in
England, there was scarcity of wheat.
and in order to make it go as far as
possible, Parliament passed law that
all the bread for the army should be
of unbolted wheat meal History states
that the result was such an improved
condition of health among the soldiers
as surprised them, and also their
officers and the surgeons The latter
declared that never before were the
soldiers so robust and healthy, and
that disease had nearly disappeared
from the army. For long time this
kind of bread was used almost exclu-
sively, but when the wheat became
once more abundant, its use was dis
continued.

Quoted from the arrears of mans pay,
our breast swells with emotion while we
contemplate upon the overpowering
gratitude of the Christian nation under
the benign sway of Her Most Gracious
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland and Empress of India. We feel
just like forsaking father and mother,
sisters and brothers, and our maiden
aunt, and cleaying into suit of badly
fttidg raiment, gun, a knapsack, haver-
sack, canteen, and ten dozen pounds of
other personal baggage, and, after wal
lowing for years in mud and mire, and
going through fire and water, lay down
our life for that great nation aforesaid,
gladly giving our last cent to pay for the
funeral vouchsafed to us by our grateful,
noble, high-minded, conscientious, en-
lightened and Christian countrymen.

A REMARKABLE MoNsTROsITY.- With
all of its other wonders, North Carolina
has now given birth to one of the most
remarkable monstrosities ever known to
the medical world in this or any other
age. This phenomenon has been dis
covered to exist few miles from this
place, It is stated by the father, negro
living some ten or twelve miles south
of this place, that this prodigious lasus
7aost,trne is an almost counterpart of the
frog, with hands, feet and in form of
body very near similar to that of this am
phibious animal. In habits almost the
same, it exhibits decided preference for
the watery element, and at night, when
croaking, cultural notes of the number
less neptunian choirs are re-echoed and
reverberated throughthe wood land
marshes, this would-be aquatic peals forth
its strange, unnatural song, which the
father AYERS is almost the same in IN
tonation and sound as that produced by
the pond frog, only on coarser and
louder scale, keeping it up until about
the hour of midnight, when he, she or it
lulls him, her or itself into quietness and
sleep. It has been on exhibition in this
place for the past few days. The creature
has attracted great deal of attention,
and number of medical men from dis
tances have come here in the past few
days to examine it.

persons who have applied to me for aid in their
cases of rupture, and whom have advised to try
yours, all acknowledge their entire satisfaction,

A TURTLE AND STURGEON FIGHT.-C.
s. S. Horne, while fishing recently in
Flint river Georgia, was disturbed by
the continual falling of some heavy body
in the water After listening for some
time he concluded that something un-
usurl was going on, seizing his gun,
went forward to investigate. On the
opposite side of the river he saw white
object with large dark one attacking it..
A boat being handy, he bailed it, and ex-
pediously and quietly passed over. He
struck the bank about twelve feet above
the cause of the disturbance, seized his
gun, and as the boat swung around with
the stream fired at the head of the dark
object. He then dropped the gun, and
as the beat drifted he lifted an immense
logger-head turtle into it, after which he
pulled in the other object, which proved
to be large sturgeon. Before he could
recross the river, the turtle, which was
only stunned by the bird-shot, recovered
and showed fight. The situation was
lively and interesting. The boat was
leaky, and the water deep and swift, the
turtle large, strong and determined on a
fight. It advanced with open mouth, and
Cul's gun was empty. He gave the boat
all the impetus possible, stuck the
paddle in the beasts mouth, drew little
penknife from his pocket and tried to cut
it's throat. AS the turtle kept its hold on
the paddle, he succeeded in this after
several efforts. He then carried his prize
home, and found that it weighed fifty or
sixty pounds. The sturgeon, he sup
posed, weighed thirty or forty. Il Ameri-
