Aid Society shipped its first batch of home
less boys West. The society picks up home
less and friendless children In the streets OF
New York, and finds work and homes for
them in the country, particularly In the West.
Seventy-six boys were so taken care OF last
Wednesday, being sent to farms In Kansas.
The society has lately received some large
donations Of money, and hopes, therefore, to
be able to do a great deal Of good during the

The Greenwich Sea-SeIpent
Again.

From the New Haveu Conn. Pallsdiom, Jan. %,
The Greenwich sea-serpent has been
seen again, this time by Capt Dalton
and his two sons, of the sloop Jane
Eliza. Capt. Dalton, who is deScrib-
ed as weather beaten mariner about
fifty years Of age, with eyes that are
blue and truthful, and face beanling
with candor, says he was off Green
wich Point bound for New Haven on
the I'd day January, when his son de
scried the serpent close to the vessel
and heading towards Captains Island,
Some ten feet Of him was exposed to
view. His head was like that of a
snake, being fiat on top, and a foot
and a half broad. In color it was
black, with green spots. The left eye,
which was the only one they could
see, was as big as saucer, and stuck
out of his head like frogs eye. The
head was about three feet long, or at
least began to taper down about that
distance from the nose. The smaller
part continued for about ten feet, and
was held up completely out of the wa
ter. After that it began to swell all
at once until it was as large as bar
rel. Its length must have been from
thirty to fifty feet. Captain Dalton
says he has seen lots of sharks and
porposes and all kinds of sea crea-
lures in his travels over the globe, and
knows that this is a snake. So many
parties claim to have seen a marine
monster off Greenwich in the last
year or two that it looks as if the
creature might not be product Of
the IMAGINATION.

ality of the bill, and as it was a di-
divided court, was not binding on fu-
ture courts. Even the president of
the court did not sit in the Higgin-

he was interested in the question. The
Judges are pure and good men, but

or, if that cannot be done, rebate the
taxes to an amount equal to or lower
than the market value of coupons, if
paid in money, and thus remove all
inducements to pay taxes with cou-
pons. He said we have precedent
for this, as our Code rebates two per
cent. if paid before the first of De-
cember, and if it can rebate two it
can twenty cents on one dollar. This
will destroy coupons BY eombehhoa.--
Again, let each county or city or
town levy and collect its own school

not know or care to keep it sacred
and apart from the other taxes, as re-
quired by the Constitution. Issue a
school script and let it pass as cou-
pons, and to an extent equal to the
school tax Of the county, city or
town. The General Assemble should
refuse any further increase of taxes,
any further appropriations to pay
more than the present rate.

LOST LINKS IN THE CHAIN OF EARLY

One Of the lost arts, which skill

ancient writer's, especially by Piny,
who speaks of its being indentcd
when thrown ngainsta hard substance
and then hammered into shape again
like brass. The world uses vnstIy
greater amount Of glass now than
during the early ages, but has never
been able to overcome its bntl!eness.
