Car.o. appeal. Dec. II.
Yesterday morning q stranger might
have been noticed standing 10 the rear
Of the Mint. watching an old woman
pick up sticks. She must have been
about eighty years Of age. Her old
calico dress was full Of holes. her face
was % vrinkled as trips and 90 brown
as leather. Every time she stopped to
pick up al stick she was obliged to do
10 with painful effort. She raked over
the dry leaves with palsisd hands. and
all the worthless little trinksts went into
her basket. A heap Of garbage and
ashes occupied her attention for some
ten minutes. The man who was watch
ing her finally walked up from behind
her and dropped . dollar in her basket
and then stole away unnoticed. An
attache Of the Mint, who was near.
hailed him a. hs passed:
III say. did you give dollar to the
old lsdyi"
"Yss, indeed, although II was about

"Yes."

This sxplstivs was all the stranger had

rapidly up Carson street. Il was his last

a Strange NJ MNnster,

Not long ago Captain Chadwick, Of the
tug boat Alpha, shot Il strange marine mon
stcr near Western Bar on the coast of
North Carolina, What is it2 Some say
turtle, some devil-tish, and the captain him
self is OF the opinion that it was old Nick
inperson, andhereaftcr sinners may havo no
fear of punishment in the informal regions.
In fact, everybody who hears about it has a
different theory, and no two persons can
agree On what it is and where it belongs.
The Smithville pilots say that his Satanic
Nlajesly has been seen Off the coast for the
lust twenty years, and he has never met
any one who was bold enough to attack
him until the gallant tar of the Alpha hove
down on him and put an end to his career
Captain Chadwick sighted the ''thing," !"
about eight miles off Western Bar and I'M
medlately ateerod toward 1t. When with
iU short distance of It he fred at 1t with
his rifle, the ball passing through its neck
and killing It, 1T required six men with
their utmost strength, to pull it over the
rail, and it Is estimated that it weighed six
or seven hundred pounds. The animal was
seven foot long by threo and half feet
wide. On tho baok was hard black shell,
like turtles, with three ridges running
longlhwiao Tho head was as lMrge as n
water bucket, and In tho mouth, extending
down Into tho throat, were rows of soft
teeth. The tall was not more than cigh-
teen inches long, and projected in three
prongs The fins and feet were like tur-
tie, with the exception that there were no
claws.

Speaking Jackdaws.

In modern times parrots are almost the
only birds that have the gift of speech,
though connoisscurs are not iguorant that
the starting and jackdaw, when properly
educated, have good abilities in that way.
The nncients Could-at tinlcS-makc them
speak to some purpose. Marcrobins tells
us that when Augustus Caesar was returning
IN triumph to Rome from his victory over
Mark Anthony, there appeared among the
crowd which welcomed him bird borne on
mans hand, which Tapped his wings and
cried out 'llcaYen save the Emperor, vic
torious C'psar!" Augustus, delighted to
hear himself salutcd by this winged spokes-
man, gave the owner a handsome sum of
money, refusing to share any of 1t with an
associate who had aided him in training his
jackdaw This men, in order to he re-
vengcd, and to show the loyalty which had
animated his friend, brought to the clnpc-
ror another bird which they had in training
and which cried out, "IIcavcn save the G.
torous Mark AnthoW!' Augustus, whose
good nature is well known, only laughed ut
the joke, and ordered the confcdcratcs to
divide the money. After this libcrality i'm
this instance, he had II number of speaking
1ackdaws and parrots brought to him. One
poor fellow, Il shoemaker, took great pains
to teach bird which hc had procured for
mat purpose, hoping to make his fortune by
IT. The bird, who had no such prospects,
but was II slow scholar, and his mnscr in
The midst of his lessons, often calculated,
in despair, "Wcll, have lost my inhor!"
Having, ut lusl, however, and with much
pains completed his education, the jnck-
daw was brought one day to salute Angus
tus, and repeated the words: "IIcavrn
save the EmDcrOr" with great ,}isiinctnnsc
'Tut!' said the Emperor, 81 have too
many courticrs of your kind" "Well,"
cried the jackdaw, who had at that moment
remembered his master, "Ncll, have lost
my lahor!" The Emperor was 80 much
amused with its answer, that he bought
the fcathcrcd wit for double the expected

a Woman Under Water.

the masculine attendant as one of the dam

sweep of the pole descended into the water
just then there was slight oscillation of

gracefully to the trcachcrOus flood, and,
with stifcd scream, body and feet tlisap-
pcarcd from view. But for moment only.
The next instant, like the twin cxtrcmitics
OF pair OF scissors, two symmclrically
modelled female combinations appeared
above the surface, bobbcd about for Il
second, and then sank again. by this time
the gentleman was IN the water, and by
good fortune contrivcd to get hold of one of
the gaiter- cIn(N feet, and was Juggling away
manfully!in the direction of the bank. But
the unfortunate lady appeared to he turned
wrong!side out, and dragged heavily like an

made at Inst, and the young lady, like Il
capsizcd sailing vessel, was put right side

hlrio,isly upon her rcscurr.

The subject was too delicate to continue,
but it was evident the lady and her friends
were excessively indignant. No apologies

of incXprcssiblc sorrow that he said in turn

Tho Sinking Ofa Mountain.

On the Goth of April, about two o'clock
A. NJ, there was some very heavy thunder
and lightning, and terrible shaking was
plainly felt near 1hllulah, Georgia On
the next day II was found that the north
east side of Chnttooga Mountain, four miles
northeast of Tallulah, Eabersham County,
Ga., soping down to the Chattooga River,
at an angle OF 40 degrees, the top of the
mountain being about 200 feet above the
river, was gradually sinking party of
men visited the mountain last Sabbath, and
found that II was not sliding hut sinking.
There was break near the top, and 1T ono
place over the top Of a slOping ridge was Il
perpendicular rock, tho depth of which was
about sixteen feet and the extent thirty or
forty acres. The bank was IN the shape of
n horseshoe, tho toe being at the top of tho

tops downward, and the roots and large
stones were seen on tho mountainW About
thrcc years ago we felt q severe qiiaking at

down. An old gentleman living near. this

a terrible shout ran through the crowd
