An adventure had last Thursday bv
Captain David L. LoDgstreet, of Sea-
bright, New Jersey, has made him the
nero OF the hour. Captain Lobgstreet
didn't catch the sea serpent far from
1t, for he was caught very nearly him
SELF, as the following account of his ex-
perience will show. Accompanied by
fellow fisherman, Longstreet cast an
chor OIL the rocks in ten fathoms water
at dawn on Thursday, and for five or
six hours hauled in blusfish and sea
bass without noteworthy interruption.
The day was fine, the sea was right
and the trail was strong. Suddenly
tpe hsh stopped biting. Longstreet
was unable to account for the phenou-
enon, but while thinking 1t over he felt
a strong pull of bluefish at his hook.
At the same instant he saw the dorsal
I'm OF a shark close by the boat. The
sharks tail churned the water into
foam twelve feet behind the fin. When
the shark snapped at the bluefish
which Longstree: was pulling to the
boat he could see that It was not tho
common shark, but the block shark or
man eater. Longstreet continues: "I
Let 60 Of my line, but the bluefish dart

ed closely with open moath plunged
his nose through the tuck of the boat
about foot forward of the stern, and
his under jaw closed on the keel with

boat. The shock threw me headfore-

ken into account, | think his Grace
may fairly be put at the top of the
tree SO far as riches are concerned.
Most Of the Dukes wealth is in Lon
don real estate, and increases at the
rate of ESQ, 900 year. There are few
things man Of wealth like this could
wish for and be able to have; but un-
til the last few weeks there has been
one ardently desired ducal ambition
left nngratifed. His Grace wanted "to
win a Derby" and his luck in horse
flesh had previously net been enough
to compass this feat. When Archer,
however, by sheer hard riding brought
Ben d'or to the winning post by bare
neck in advance of Robert the Devil,
the one wish of the Dukes life was &C.
complished, and every one thought
that the skilful jockey would profit
not little from his Grace's generosity.
There is no hard. .and.fast rule as to
wha, the Jockey Of a Derby winner
shsll receive. 1t is left to the gener-
osity of the owner, who, under the
circumstances, is net sparing of his
cash. The usual fee is 81, 900, and
this has very often been exceeded. Ar
cher's satisfaction at receiving half
this amount from the richest man in
England may be well imagined MOI
one but duke could have afforded 10
pay so little.

l. N. Mills-l do not think Hancock =

thing, however, which is amusing is
that he is military man, and has to
be taken by the party after all its
sneering opposition to military oandi-
dates. The ticket cannot beat Garfield
and Arthur.
Postmaster Pyle-There is nothing
about General Hancock to lead Rspub.
lioans to vote for him. 4
Lewis Thompson-Ons of the strong

sltlon to military men. They now re
diudate this and show their inoonsisten-
cy.

Anthony Higgins, Esq.-The nomina-
tion of General Hancock is another at
tempt to evade the real issues before
the country. 1t will fail. The Repub-
lican ticket will poll the full party
vote and defeat Hancock at home.
W. c. Spruanoe, Esq.-Hancock's
nomination is merely one Of expediency.
he represents no principle for which the
Democracy has fought for fcur years.
1t is like its nomination of Greeley.

vention all the afternoon. 1t was Civ,
en- with will for Hancock again and
again, for Tilisn and Hendricks, but
more freq quently and with more enthu-
siasm for Bsyard, since he was the

Two Years Droux ht In X nm sns.

o. " urAoSt, formerly OF I0fK county
writes to the Baltimore American from
Fort Larned, Kansas, under date of
May 80, detailing the sad conseq quences
Of the excessive drought in the south
eastern section of the State in the
Arkansas Valley. He says:
Let me 60 back one year from last
March when, with my brothers and
sisters, we left our old home in York
county, Pa. We left for our new home
expecting to find splendid country,
flowing with the good things of the
earth. We came right on here, under
the charge Of q land agent of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road; found the country looking
rather dry, but being early, vegetation
had not time to start. We purchased
24o acres OF prairie, lying very nicely
went to work to put up good house,
broke the hedge rows and some forty
acres; but no soaking rains came to
start the wheat or spring crop; 80 our
first summer was a failure of every
thing but dry weather. We put out
our breaking in wheat, and now April
30th, the fields are as bare as If they
had never been seeded; so that we have
spent 1000, and have not got one cent
Of returns. Now, we fiod that there has
not been a rain to soak the ground
six inches deep since July lst, 1878,
which is nearly two years. have Just
returned from a trip Of twenty -four
days with horses and wagon Cor mules
rather,) through all the southeastern
counties of the State, and along the
line OF the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad from Emporia to Garfield.
We find the people dissatisfied, as a
general thing. The whole way along
the line Of this railroad prospects for
crops are poor as general thing. The
Big Arkansas river is dry from Hutch
inson az far west as as We have heard
from. People are leaving the valley
by the hundred for the Kansas Pacific
Road north Of this, or for the southeast
ern part Of the State, both parts of the
State having water and timber in more
than We can find in this
desert. Homestesders are leaving their
claims and If any one will come and
give us ons-half Of what we have spent
