1t is comforting to find people who have no
doubts about the sea serpent. There have
been persons who thought they had seen the
sea serpent, and persons who hoped they had
seen it, and persons who wondered whether
they had seen it, but the Nova Scotia fisher
men, whose report is received to-day, are in
no uncertainty upon the subject and do not
deal in surmises They know what they know.
They know its length. and its rotundity, the
size of It's head and the maritime qualities OF
its tail. Thirty feet of the last-named useful
article "was exposed to view when 1t dove"
as of course it did. 1t is a curious and mel
anchoy fact that the sea serpent always
olives" 1t never comes to town or visits
any of the watering places, or sends an au-
thentic communication to the newspapers, by
which we may all be convinced of its exist
ence. 1t invariably "dives" as soon as the
few spectatOrs-there never are more than a
few-begin to take an interest in its move
ments. If any sceptlcal persons still refuse to
believe that there is a sea serpent, these Nova
Scotia fishermen can cover them with con-
fusion by taking them out to sea and showing
them the place where it 'doye."

Highway robbery on crowded street like
Sixth-aye. and that too at MONDAY, is q dis
agreeable novelty in city life. But this was
the least extraordinary feature of the affair.
The highway robbery was accompanied by
violent assault. The victim, mechanic, was
knocked down by one of the two thieves, and
kicked about the head and body, and then
his pockets were riAed. A number of persons
witnessed this pleasant little midday episode,
and did pluck up sufficient courage to remOn
strate, but when the robbers drew 1evolvers
and turned them on the crowd they disap-
peared. The thieves then followed their ex-
ample. 1t is not the least singular fact of the
affair that the thieves must have known the
booty would be small. as it is not likely that
mechanic, on his way home TO his dinner,
was dressed like millionaire. AS an instance
of reckless and eccentric crime, and of the
holplessness of law-abiding people when
boldly confronted by desperate men, it is
curiosity in its way. We carefully refrain
from wantonly wounding the feelings of any
body by inquiring where the police were on this
memorable occasion.

Mr.. Weaver stays mad, and very wisely too.
He now declares publicly in Maine that there
must be no fusion on the electoral ticket with
the Democracy, and that any such movement
made anywhere in the Union, will meet his
disapproval. As he is the man to be voted
for, it will be strange if his wishes are not
respected This must mean the end of the
Fusion electoral ticket. Mr.. Weaver refuses
to allow his party to play tail to the Demo-
cratic kite, and the kite without the tail will
be in sad way.

The Republicans of the With Dis
trict of New-Jerscy have nominated
John Hill again for Congress. The
man who led the fight against
the Franking Privilege needs no introduce
ton to Republican voters. The district is
close, but Mr.. Hill is an admirable can
vasser, and ought to bring out the full
party strength. The Convention was closely
divided between Mr.. Hill and another old Rep
resentative of the district, Mr. William Wal
ter Phelps. 1t was known that the
latter had no wish for the nomina-
ton had, in fact, asked that his name
should not be used, unless the desire for 1t
should appear to be general. His own county,
however, presented him with almost en-
tire unammity, and he and Hill had the same
number of votes on the first ballot. Mr..
Phelps is undoubtedly relieved at not being
required to make the race and Mr.. Hill will
make it with an cagerncss and energy that
promise success.

THE "STAR OF BETHLEHEM
IN 1887.

Professor G. A. Grimmer, of
Kingston, Jamaica, who is a scientist
of fame, recently made some won-
derful prophecies in connection with
the action Of the planets and other
heavenly bodies. He says of the
"Star of Bethlehem I'm 1887 the
''Star of Bethlehem" will be once
more seen in "Casseopia's chair"
and will be accompanied by a total
eclipse of the sun and moon. The
star only makes its appearance every
BIS years. 1t will appear and IL
illuminate the heavens, and exceed in
brilliancy even Jupiter when in OPP
position to the sun, and, therefore,
nearer to the sun and brightest.
The marvellous brilliancy OF the
"Star of Bethlehem in 1887 will sur
pass any of its previous visitations.
1t will be seen even by MONDAY,
shining with a quick, flashing light
the entire year, after which it will
gradually decrease in brightness,
and finally disappear not TO return
to our heavens until 2202, or 315
years after 1887. This star first at.
tracted the attention Of modern
astronomers in the year 1875. 1t
was then called a new star. 1t was
no new star, however, for this was
the star which shone SO brightly 4
B. c., and was the star that illumi
mated the heavens at the nativity Of
Christ.

A METEOR BY DAYLIGHT.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph OF
last Friday describes meteor seen
BY daylight in that region:
The eccentric meteor darting
athwart the skies at night is a sight
familiar to all, but the daytime
meteor is a sight rarely seen. In
deed, we do not know of an instance
ON record in which meteor has
been seen in the skies while daylight
remained. Yesterday afternoon,
however, just before five O'Clock per
sons upon the street saw a large
body shoot across the heavens from
sc nth to north and burst in pieces in
The far distance. IL left in its wake
long path of smoke, which fioated
in the thin air lazily, broadened,
grew dim and disappeared after
being visible about ten minutes.
The phenomenon was observed by
a large crowd ON Mulberry street.
and people who ran out of the stores
to discern the cause OF the excite
ment were shown the long, thin,
smoky path which so distinctly
marked the meteor's course.
The Griffin News says of it -
On Thursday evening, probably |
! few minutes after five o'clock, be |
ore the twilight had deepened, a
lumber of citizens ON Hill street |
Jaw the almost phenomenal appear
lnce of q brilliant meteor, which
lashed up from the south and blazed

Vhere it exploded. Long after the
explosion the track of the meteor
vas marked a long, dark line, ap
'arently of smoke, which a great
nany observed.

WHERE MEN GET COATS Of
HAIR.

WHAT ONE OF THE LIVING CuRIosI-
TIES SAYS OF THE ATMOSPHERIC OF A
sIBRRIAN MINE.
NEW York, Dec. PA short time
ago man little over 40 years old,
went into BunnelPs museum and ask
ed for an engagement. He said that
he was q native Of Warsaw, in Russian
Poland, and had been condemned to
the mines Of Siberia for being q Nihi-
list. A popularity OF the atmosphere
in the Redan gold mines near Tobolsk,
where he was confined for 10 years, he
said, was that it in time caused thick
growth of hair on the bodies of the
exiies, who in the warm temperature,
1900 feet below the surface, worked
nearly nude.
Nihilists being now somewhat in
vogue, especially when hairy, lie was
engaged at a small salary, dscked In q
fanciful medieval costume. and seat
ed on a pla form with Barnum's vet
eran "What Is It," and the Spotted
Boy. He gives his name as G. Ivano-
vicz, and says that while medical
student in Warsaw in 1882 he was
sent to Siberia for disaffection toward
the Russian government. After a
weary march Of several months he and
his companions reached their destina-
tion, and were required to labor eleven
hours day, with black bread and salt
for their food and water for their
drink. To avoid scurvy onions and
other vegetables were sometimes given
them, but meat was allowed only ence
year, on the birthday of the Emper-
or. Rude Cossack soldiers were their
guards, who spoke with invariable
roughness and freely used the lash if
offended. Silence was epjoined dur
ing working hours, but not strictly en-
forced. When at leisure they were
not allowed to collect in groups for
conversation, lest they should hatch
schemes for escape, and when not eat
ing they generally found refuge from
their weariness in sleep. Iyanovicz
found over two hundred medical men
In the mine, together with a mum ber
of Russians of titled families.
The hair on his body reached it's
present thickness, he said, in four
years, but others did not acquire a
growth so speedily. He and eight
others escaped in 1877, on the birth
day Of the Emperor. The guards Oh
that day were supplied with liquor,
and they became intoxicated.

COLD FEET.

Very many persons do not properly
care fvr their feet. They use cotton
stockings and thin shoes in winter
sometimes they sit, perhaps for hours,
With their feet damp and even wet.-
IL is not unfrequent for females to &c
about their household work half day
at time with feet inadequately pro-
lected, while the cold currents of air
cause a temperature 40 degrees less
near the Aoor than overhead.
Some people become so habituatsd
70 cold fee. as not to "feel'' the chill
the long continued cold having con-
traoted the blood vessels and destroy
ed the proper sensibility of the nerves.
Not a few persons go to bed in a cold
room with the feet still cold, to
have them yet further chilled by cold
bed.
Now, the feet sustain close nerv-
eas relation to the rest of the body
Hence it is that the physician applies
heat to the feet to relieve a oongested
brain. The feet of one whose legs are
paralyzed will kick when tickled,
though the person is not conscious of
the tickling, nor, except by sight, even
of the kicking. This indicates, too,
ono Of the reasons why rusty nail In
the foot causes that fearful disease,
lockjaw. Good health cannot be en-
joyed unless the blood circulates
warm and strong through the extrem-
tiles.
Mothers should see 10 it that their
children's feet are we'll clad and
should, from time to time during the
day, remove their shoes to make sure
that they are warm. They should fur
ther train them to right ideas and hab-
Its In this respect.
With all persons the rule in winter
should be woollen stockings and thick
soled shoes, and rubbers In wet wea-
ther. Extra soles, whether of cork,
ielt, or even thick paste board, may
bs used to great advantage. Slippers
or shoes that can be easily removed
should be worn about the house. If
the feet are permanently cold from the
shrinkage of the bloodvessels, this will
tend to enlarge them again. In such
cases they should be soaked every
night for short lime in quite warm
water.

IMTEM PERANcE.
BY CHARLES sPRAGUE.

This subject, viewed in a national
light, presents fearful political as
pect. The ruinous consequences of
wide spread intemperance to people
governing themselves can hardly be
over-estimated. If there be on earth
one nation more than another whose
institutions must draw their life-blood
from the individual purity of its citi-
zens, that nation is our own. Where
the many enjoy little or no power it
were trick or policy to wink at those
vices and follies which would rob
them of both the ability and inclination
to improve their condition. But In our
country, where almost every man,
however humble, bears to the omnipo-
tent ballot-box his full portion of SOW
ereignty, and where, in short, public
sentiment is the absolute lever, that
that moves the political world-,he
purity OF the people is the only rock
of their political safety. We may
boast, if we please, of our exalted
privileges, and fondly imagine that
hey will be eternal-but whenever
t lose vices shall abound which unde-
ably tend to abasement, sleeping the
poor and ignorant still lower in power
ty and ignorance, thereby destroying
that wholesome mental equality which
CA alone sustai / self-ruled people
i5 will be found, by woful experience,
that eur happy system of government,
the best ever devised for the intelligent
and good, is the very worst to be en-
trusted to the degraded and vicious.
The tremendous power of suffrage,
like the strength of the sightless Sam
so far from being their protection,
will but serve to pull down upon their
heads the temple their ancestors rear
ed for them.
National greatness may for a time sur
vive--splendld talents and brilliant VIC
tories may fling their deluslve Iustre
Abroad-these can illumine the darkness
that hangs around the throne of a despot
but their light will be like the baneful
flame that hovers over decaying mortal
ity, and tells of the corruption that fes.
ters beneath. The immortal spirit of
American freedom will have gone; and
along our shores, and among our hills
made sacred by the bones of the pilgrims
and the tombs OF the patIiots-even
these, in the ears of their degraded de-
scendants, shall ring the last knell OF de-
parted liberty.
With the exception of this one hateful
vice, which Is spreading far and wide,
We may proudly challenge a comparison
with the dominions of the earth, This
gross and oesetting sin, the parent of so |
many others, Is national blot and If ID |
shows the darker ON our escutcheon. that |
It pollutes so fair surface, it becomes |
more imperiously the duty of every pa- |
trlotic citizen to assist In removing 1t.
