A Curious Animal.

On the farm of w. ID. Green, on the
road leading from the village of Florida
to Glenmore Lake, not far from Newton,
n. j. Is q cave inhabited by monde
script animal, somewhat partaking of
the human form. Some time ago this
animal was seen by two men named
Armstrong and Sullivan, who were at
work in u field near the cave. 1t so
mu ch resembled human being that
Armstrong, who was eating his lunch,
asked 1t to take piece of bread, where
upon it gritted its teeth and fled to the
cave, remaining in sight only few sec.
onds. Several persons have endeavored
to entrap it, but without success. All
who have seen it describe 1t as being
covered with long, shaggy hair.
A few days ago Ira Seybolt, a we'll
known hunter, chanced to pass the cave
and saw the animal lying at length
upon stone wall and shot at it, when,
with a cry of mingled rage and pain, it
leaped from the wall and fled into the
cave. Mr.. Green, ON whose farm the

hair, about eight inches long, which was
cut from the body Of the creature by
Seybolt's shot. The creature walks half
upright and prowls considerably at
night, making unearthly noises. There
are variety Of conjectu res as to what
the "thing" is. There is not q man In
the entire section who could be induced
to enter the cave under any considera-
ton. The entrance to the cave is small,
but it is said to have a large interior.
Many people believe that the creature
who inhabits this cave is wild man
and watch is being kept over the
mouth of the eden" to see what manner
of creature 1t is. The affair has created
much excitement and considerable ner-
vousness in this section, and the devel-
opments are anxiously awaited. People
will not travel the road near where the
cave is located, and Mr.. Green could not
sell his otherwise valuable farm for a
cent an acre at the present time on ac-
count of the superstition prevailing
among the country people.

Afraid Of the busting" Comet.

The Richmond (Va.) State, says:
Much excitement prevails among many
of the colored people in and about Rich
mond over the appearance and disap-
peaIance of the comet, of which they
have just commenced TO trace series of
disasters the first being the illness Of
the Rev. John Jasper, then the shoot
ing of President Garfield, and the last
the sudden death yesterday of Patrick
Moody, the well known colored driver
for Mr.. Robert w. Oliver Of the West
ham. Tobacco Works. The ignorant
and supersttious ones of the race, while
trifle uneasy at the first appearance of
the comet, have only in the past day or
two seen the woeful effects OF its coming,
and now large numbers of the factory
hands are "gitting religion"
Vas, 'fo' Cord, !" said an excited in
dividual, with face full Of terror, last
night, I" de comick's tail is up" and he
then proceeded to show that when :" de
comick's tail is up'' it foretells calamity
and death, and in support of his asser-
ton recapitulated the disasters which
had followed the advent of the copet.--
The fearful outlook was more threaten
ing now, he said, because the comick
is busted" his idea being that the
strange lighting up of the heavens few
evenings ago since was owing to the
smashing up of the heavenly VISITOR
Several benighted colored tramps who
have been taken up at night on the
streets have exhibited lunacy over the
comet, the " busting" of which they ex-
pect will soon set the world on fire.

ClrcumstantiaI Evidence.

A lawyer in Central New York gives
the following account OF one of his first
cases
I" My client sued neghbor for the
alleged killing of favorite dog. The
proof consisted in the mysterious dis
appearance of the animal, and the pos
session of dogs skin by the defendant,
which, after considerable argument, was
brought into court in evidence. 1t was
marked in singular manner, and was
positively identified, with many tears,
by the plaintiffs wife and daughter as
the undoubted integument of the de-
ceased Bose. In summing up to the
Jury, was in the midst of o highly
colored picture OF the virtues of the
deceased, and of the love of the children
for their four-footed friend, when was
interrupted by slight disturbance in
the crowd near the door of the little
school house which served as court
house. Looking around, / saw my
clients youngest son, tow-headed
urchin of twelve, coming forward with
a dog whose skin was the exact counter
part of the one put in evidence. The
dog wagged his tail with goodnatured
composure, and the boy cried, in his
childish treble, Pa, Bose has come
home L gathered up my law-books
and retreated, and have never had
perfect confidence in circumstantiaI
evidence since.

any work that comes along, and sure to
succeed, while Pm M easily knocked
down as girl. / only wish I'd had q
wise father and been raised tough, like
you"
Harry has repeated this wish good
many times In the years that have pass
ed since then. Life has gone hardly
with him, and business has always been
distasteful, but he has kept on steadily,
and his position has improved, thanks
to Toms advice and help. Tom himself
Is rich man now. He was long since
taken In rs partner by the Perrin
Company, which re.opened its works
the year after the panic, and Is doing
an immense business. He makes
sharp and energetic manager, but his
open.handedness and open. .heartedness
grow with his growth, and prosperity
only furnishes wider opportunity for
wise kindness to those who are less
fortunate. His own good fortune he
always ascrlbes to his fathers energetic
training, and Mr.. Kane, who Is an
elderly man now, likes to nod his head
and reply: 81 told you so, my boy; /
told you so. A habit of honest work is
the best luck and the best fortune u man
can have"

The Story Of a Tame waIrus.

The Spanish bark, Odulio, from Liver
pool, now lying at Welch, Dithlet &
Co.'s wharf, says the Victoria British
Columbia) COlonist, has on board tame
walrus or sea-lion. This animal was
captured by Captain DeAbortiz, thirteen
years ago while cruising in Behring
straits. 1t was then pup" was
trained by him, and has been his con-
slant companion on all his voyages ever
since. He is called Senor," and an
swers to his name or to a blast from
silver whistle blown by his master; but
if blown by any one else he pays not the
slightest attention to the call. He eats
bread and meat, and enjoys tea and to-
bacco. He is as passionately fond of
beer as an old topper, and on many occa-
sions has become genteelly slight"
from inbibing too heavily. When
caught he weighed 10 pounds, but he
now turns the scale at Ala pounds, has
two enormous tusks, measures 6 feet 8
inches at the girth, and is feet 4 inches
long. AS the captain good-naturedly re-
marked, as he showed the brute to few
visitors, he is becoming one big noo-

sance." In bright weather he sleeps In
the sun on deck. During heavy blows
he resorts to kennel, but when the
weather Is calm he leaps overheard and
sports about the chip for hours, oatch-
Ing and eating fish. When tired Of
swimming he is hauled on board In
great iron basket. On one occasion, Or
the Cape OF Good Hope a great shark
tackled Senor," laying hold of one Of
his paws and biting Off two Of his toes.
" Senior" dove, and coming up under
his enemy's belly, ripped him up with
one thrust Of his great tusks, and de-
voured him with savage cries Of delight
and satisfaction. He is very fond OF the
captain, and when the latter has been
absent from the ship day or two, he
manifests his uneasiness by u thunder
Ing noise not unlike the sounds that
might be emitted by two or three scores
Of dogs barking In chorus "SeDor" Is
perfectly doclle, allows himself to be pat
ted on the head, and is very susceptible
to kindness.

A Warning.

"Young man, say to you, looking
back to the fire where lay scorching,
looking back at the past, and standing
as do now under the arch of the bow,
one end of which rests in darkness, and
the other on the sunny slopes of Para
disc, L say to you, Beware Touch not
the accursed thing and may God for
bid that you should ever suffer as have
suffered, or be called to fight as 1 have
fought for body and for soul. John b.
