They believe Collector Ball, OF Sitks, an
honest, efficient man, but assert that he
has nothing TO collect. Sitka is but one
Of half a dozen points where goods
can be and are landed, and half Of the
others he never sees. He occupies his
time not in collecting or preventing
smuggling, but in keeping wild Indians
in order. The Alaska Commission,
composed Of chiefs OF the bureaus OF the
departments, recommends the substitu-
ton OF four justices of the peace, with
extensive jurisdiction, for the present
expensive collection machinery so called.
This scheme will be brought before
Congress next winter.

& RARE srRcrakx LOST.

Captain Ingalls,, Of the schooner Chal-
csdony, has let slip an opportunity to
make small fortune, and at the same
time settle the long vexed Question az to
the reality Of the elusive and possibly
mythical sea serpent. His story as told
in the argus, of Portland, Maine, june
8, runs as follows:
LAST Saturday, about one o'clock in
the afternoon, we were slowly sailing
past Monhegan, there being but very
little wind, about twenty miles southwest
Of the island, when we caught sight of
what looked like large schooner, bot
tom up. As the object lay almost dead
ahead. we made directly for it, but be-
fore we got very close Cape Ann
schooner lay to and sent boat crew to
inspect what plainly now appeared to
be monstrous carcass Of some species
or other. We finally hove to, about q
ships length of, and took q leisurely
survey of the thing. 1t was dead, and
Aoated on the water with it's belly, a
dirty brown color, up. It's head was at
least twenty feet long, and about ten
feet through the thickest point. About
midway Of the body, which was, should
guess, about forty feet long, were two
fins, Of very clear white, each about
twelve feet in length. The body seemed
TO taper from the back of the head down
to the size Of small log, distinct from
the whale tribe, az the end had nothing
that looked like fuke. The shape of
the creatures head was more like tierce
than anything ! can liken it to. / have
seen almost all kinds OF shapes that can
be found in these waters, but never saw
the like of this before.
Two years ago, of Seguin, 1 saw
shooting through the water thing
which resemhled this creature considera-
bly,, but didn't get close enough to say
for certain. The men from the Cape
Ann schooner got on this dead creature
and ono Of the boys cut double shuttle
on his belly, which for all the world
looked like the bottom Of q schooner
covered with barnacles and scawed by
the weather. We would have towed the
thing to Portland had thore been any
wind, hut as there wasn't, we steered
away and left it. What sort of sea
monster this was I can't say for sure,
but in my opinion, it was the original
sea serpent which has been seen once
in . while for years past, and which,
when alive, was too swift swimmer for
any sailing vessel to get along side Of. "
The report of the captain of the
"Cspe Ann schooner" will be in order

The plan to furnish Rochester, New
Fork, with power for manufacturing and
for running street cars through the utii
zation OF the falls Of the Genesee in
eompressing air, was described some
weeks ago. All the power of the lower
falls, save what is needed to run two
wheels ior factories already in operation
has been purchased by the ihventer of
the system, and q promising beginning
has been made. According to the Roch-
ester Union, large gang Of men are at
work building the crib just below the
falls on the cast side of the river in q
cove which seems to have been made
natural for this purpose. This founda-
tion is 100 feet long by rs feet wide,
and will have an average depth Of Is
feet. tits being constructed of logs Of
solid oak timber, bolted together, and
ths center viii be filled with stone. On
top Of the stone will be erected the der
rick, l25 feet high, and the water win
pour into it from the top Of the falls
through the bulkhead at one end of the
dam. The stand pipes will run from the
top of the derrick to the cylinders on the
crib. which will be in tAs neighborhood
of 500 feet long. The whole machinery
will be rooted in. The difficulty in the
way Of getting the materials to the place,
they all having to be lowered over the
falls, makes the work of construction
somewhat slow. It is expected, how
aever, THAT the application Of the system
to the propulsion of street cars will b
possible in September next.-Sc;entift

ers to the following extract from the
New York Herald, paper Of an inde-
pendent type, which he's, however, never
been accuse of any partial leanings
toward the Democracy. When such a
paper, with Republican aAinities, comes
out boldly and squarely, stating that the
charges against Garfield are damaging
unless disproved, and even goes SO far
editorially as to invite him to uss its
columns and welcome, for that purpose.
The New York Times, the great leading
Republican paper of the United States,
speaking Of Garfield in some of his
transactions a few years ago, said:
"Messrs. Kelly and Garfield present a
very distressing figure. Their partici-
patton in the Credit Mobilier affair is
complicated by the most unfortunate con-
tradictions of testimony"
That was before Garfield was a candi-
date for President, and when there was
no special motive in Disgusting facts.
The New York Tribune says about them:
"Well, the wickedness of all of it is that
these men betrayed the trust of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and fa1sehood confessed the
transaction to be disgraceful." Now, in
the face of such statements as these,
from such sources, does it not require
sublime cheek" to call these investiga-
tions, and charges of fraud, democrat
ic infamy2" The charges were made by
Republicans, and the verdict rendered
by the same. Now, let US look at the
attitude of our leading political papers
at Portland, the Standard and Oregon
ian. The former has made eight separ.
ate and distinct charges against Garfield.
proving them frem the Congressional
Record and from leading Republican
papers. 1t has challenged the Oregonian
to "confute even the most inconsiderable
of them," and as yet, that well-informed
journal has ignom;niostsly failed! That
carries its own comment:
We have no doubt that the Republi-
cans will discover faults enough in the
ticket chosen at Cincinnati yesterday,
and we may presently try our own hands
at picking it to pieces. But we will con.
tent ourselves for the moment with sug.
gesting certain general observious bear.
ings, upon the country and upon both
parties, of the action of the Democrats.
In the first place, it is an undoubted
and very great benefit to the country
that the nomination of General Hancock
makes impossible what, in the common
political slang is called "bloody shirt
campaign" The Southern question, sc
called, has been for years not merely q
sterile, but mischievous issue in o,,
politics. 1t has been assiduously KEEP,
alive by designing leaders in the Republi
can party, not entirely because it was Z
convenient way for them to '6re ths
Northern hearts" and secure votes b.
alarming the prejudices Of the voters
but quite as much because it enabled h,
Republican leaders year after year to pu
aside al real questions, all needed re
forms, all actions ON subjects Of genera
