Another Sea Monster.

Considerable excitement exists at
Buzzard's bay, especially among that
class who ''go down to the sea in
ships" regarding the exciting story re-
lated to-day by Henry H. Smith, an
old sea-dog, who for years has plowed
the surging pillows in every cline.
"Never," said he on Thursday last,
"was | SO frightened as yesterday just
off Wings Neck light. | had been
sailing on and off, skipping here and
there about all day for fish. The sun
was just sinking below the western
horizon when | bore away for Monu-
ment beach, off which place / have
nay moorage. When about one-half
mile from the light | observed distinct
ly peculiar-looking object just about
two points off the port bow, and |
should say one eighth Of a mile away,
and making right for my frail little
craft. 1t stood out of the water about
six or more feet. The head resembled
somewhat that of a full-blooded bull
dog, although from each side protruded
what either were ears or horns, and
away in the rear could see part of its
body or tail, as it propelled along at
fearful rate of speed through the
smooth waters of the bay. The SER
pent, or whatever it was, came within
twenty-five feet of my craft-near
enough for me to plainly distinguish
its color, which somewhat resembled
that of our native seal, sort of a very
dark brown, mingled with light spots,
as it apparently appeared fir IN the
boat. When nearly opposite my craft
he made terrible breach out of the
water, when | could see over twenty
feet of his slim body, as with Kissing
sound he quickly descended into the
depths again. when all traces of this
mystery Of the sea were lost to view"

A Spider Draws up Mouse by the Tail.

A very curious and interesting spec
tacle was to be seen Oh Monday after
noon in the Office of Mr.. p. G. Clever's
livery stable in this city. Against the
wall of the room stands n tolerably tall
desk, and under this a small spider,
not larger than q common pea, had
constructed an extensive web reaching
down to the floor.
About 11:30 o'clock Monday fore
noon it was observed that the spider
had ensnared a young mouse by pass
ing filaments of her web about its tail.
When first seen the mouse had its hind
feet off the floor, and could barely
touch the floor with its fore feet. The
spider was full of business, running up
and down the line, occasionally biting
the mouse's tail, making it struggle
desperately. Its efforts to escape were
udavailing, and the slender filaments
about its tail were too strong for it to
break. In short time it was seen
that the spider was slowly noisting its
victim into the air. By two o'clock in
the afternoon the mouse could barely
touch the floor with its fore feet; by
dark the point of its nose was an inch
above the floor. At y O'Clock at night
the mouse was still alive, but had made
no sign except when the spider descend
ed and bit his tail. At this time it was
an inch and half from the floor.
The next morning the mouse was
dead and hung three inches from the
floor.
The news of the novel sight soon be
came circulated, and hundreds of peo-
pie visited the stable TO witness it. The
mouse is small ole, probably less
than half grown, measuring about one
and one-half inches from the point oil
its nose to the root of its tail. How
the spider succeeded in ensnaring it is
not known. The mechanical ingenuity
Of the spider, which enables her to raise
body which must weigh forty or fifty
times as much as herself, has been the
subject Of much comment and specu-
lation, and no satisfactory solution o.
the difficulty has been found. All agree
that it is a most remarkable case, and
one that would be received with uttel
incredulity If 1t were not SO amply st
tested. Lebanon KY Standard.

for year or two that he badc fair to
be the richest man on the continent
He had alread run for lieutenant gov
ernor of California on the ticket with
George Gorham, late secretary of the
senate, and shared Gorham's defeat
While possessed of this vast wealth,
he concluded to go to the United States
senate. His money readily accom-
plished this end with the legislature of
Nevada. Old Senator Nye was pre-
sented with a sum of money to make
him comfortable and to get out of the
road. Jones' example has since been
followed by another rich man, Mr..
Fair, who will sit in the next senate,
and Mr.. Mackay, the richest of them
all, now wants Jones place on the same
terms that Jones obtained it from Nye.
Senator jones appeared in Washington
about six or seven years ago as radi-
cal free trader. free-thinker, and gold
standard man. His interesting To-
quacity made him many friends,
among them Conkling and Grant. He
was charmed with Conkling's ability,
and, perhaps, with his assumption.
Mr.. Jones made very valuable speech
against initiation, which was much
praised. To its influence was ascribed
the vetoing of the imitation bill in 1874
by President Grant.

is very able man. His democracy is
extreme, but out of politics he is one of
tee best fellows the world over.
Davis, of West Virginia, though an
old member of the senate, has made
but one speech--on agriculture. II
was printed exactly as it was written
His remarks are left to the tender mer-
cies of the stenographer
Beck, Davis colleague on the COM
mittee of appropriations, is the most
rapid talker in either house of congress.
Well for him that the senate has such
stenographer as Dennis Murphy,
whose hand travels over paper like
lightning. We doubt if his equal could
be found anywhere. Beck is an untir-
ing worker, has the constitution of a
Kentucky race horse, and no amount
of labor is too heavy for him. He is
not much Of reviser, going on the
principle of Pontius Pilate-9a0d Scyipsi,
scripsi. He is as blunt as joey Bag
stock, and as good-natured as Mark
Tapley As there are "no leaves to
print" IN the senate, no senator can
pablish a speech without having at
least read it from manuscript The
first poge of the daily Record is quite a
desideratum as the place to air the title
of a speech, and many grave senator
who would willingly sit at the end of
McGregor's table is loath to have his
speech hidden in the middle of the
Record. In vain to attack Solomon's
theory about VARIETY Washington Re

an Anti-Bismark Decision.

A prosecution in the Berlin courts
against Emil Effenhimer, editor of the
discontinued Berlin Ne,cs, ON a charge
of libeling Prince Bismark, has been
decided in favor of the defendant. The
LEGGED libel consisted in an accusation
that Bismark was himself chiefly res
ponsible for the outrages against the
Jews in Germany. The defence was
justification of the charge, and, as evil
dence of its truth, counsel pointed to
the reply made by Prince Bismark to
telegram received from DIR. Heinrich
during the session of an anti-Jewish
meeting in Dresden, in which he said
that he believed, with the association
represented by DR.. Heinrich, that an inn
provement would be attained in Ger
man affairs as soon as the German
people would cease to expect it to oc-
cur spontaneously. This sentence was
considered throughout the country as
indicating the desire of the Chancellor
to have the German people resort to
violent measures against their Jewish
neighbors. The defendants advocate
referred also to other occurrences of a
similar character 1t requires a very
clear case to procure decision from a
Prussian court adversed to the wishes
of Prince Bismark, but in this instance
the judges unanimously decided that
the defendant could not be punished
for expressing the views he did.
