The Dandy Grab.

Society and occupation in the world OF
the sea are represented by masons,
builders, marauders, usurpers and plum
dcrcgs, and all have their distinguishing
peculiarities. A fancy of the quaint
spider crab, or dandy crab" az he is
sometimes called, is to decorated him
self with alg@ and sponges. and none
but the most brilliant in color seem to
please him; this, however, not for vain
display, but, primarily at least, for per-
sonal protection. When wishing to
array himself, he finds a brilliant
sponge and pincnes Off piece after piece
with his long, slender claws; these
when broken, are dipped in q glutinous
fluid contained in the mouth, and are
carried to the back and fastened Sc
curely. Sometimes after he has at
tached a particular fragment he reaches
back his claw a second time TO satisfy
himself that it is secure. This practice
is INDUCED in only when the crabs are
young and in the fall, and its object is
to obscure the crab from hungry stur-
gcons and skates. When placed i'll n
tank with many animals the crabs take
the same precaution against possible
enemies, and often cover themselves.

Sale Of Edwin Booths Birthplace.

The birthplace OF the great tragedian
has beon purchased by Mr.. Kyle, OF
Baltimore, who proposes making it his
permanent residence. The old house,
which has long since gone to decay, is
being torn down. The new house is a
substantial brick, built in the English
style of architecture, and is a pleasing
structure. The large tree in which it is
said that Edwin Booth studied and read,
stands in front of the house, a monument
OF the past. On q large projecting limb
we are told the tragedian stood and
acclaimed. When gazing on the humble
surroundings OF a man whom fame has
crowned with her brightest laurels, we
could not help but think of the many
bright minds that have risen from the
lowly paths OF life, and that demonstrate
the fact that true genius will ever make
itself known.

Reduction In Telegraph Rates.

The American Union Telegraph Com.
pany, which has been in existeuae one
year, started at the outset with the
promise OF reduced rates 10 the public
and an increase in the speed Of the
transmittal OF messages. The former
promise they have kept by from time to
time announcing a reduction in rates to
different points. A day or two since the
following were announced: Baltimore
to Richmond, Va, from 40 to Is cents;
to fredericksburg, from 35 to % cents;
to Petersburg, from 40 to Is cents; to
Forfolk, from 30 to % cents; to st.
Louis, from 60 to 80 cents to Pittsburgh,
from 80 to 25 cents. Rates on the Mar.
ietta and Cincinnati Railroad have been
equalized, and reductions have been
made to all points where 10 competition
extended previous to the existence OF the
American Unions lines. The American
Union Company claims nov that it has
greatly reduced the time between Bal
timors and the Western cities, and as
au example say that heretofore 80 min
utes have been necessary to transmit a
message and receive a reply from Chica-
go. Lately they claim to have brought
it down to ten minutes, and in one or
more instances q transaction with that
city has bsen closed on the floor of the
Corn and Flour Exchange in five min
utes. No reduction has been made pub.
lie lately in the rates of the Western
Union, but the off 3ials of the Atlantic
and Pacific, which is known to belong
to the former corporation, have issued
instructions that, whenever the Amer
lean Union does reduce their rates, the
Atlantic and Pacific is to make a reduc-
ton of five cents less than their COMPETE
tors.
