Toronto Has e Sea-Serpent.

The morning was cool, and perhaps this was the reason why some of the workmen engaged at the targets on the Garrison ranges say the serpent they saw was not more than fifty feet long and the size of a mans body. The story, as told by one of them, is in sub stance as follows: Between and g o'clock, while placing the targets in po- sltion on No. range, a boy rushed up saying that there was a queer thing floating near the shore. Some of the men were curious enough to leave their work and hasten down to the shore.- There, sure enough, was large bluish- gray mass floating lazily near the shore. 1t had every appearance of being asleep, as its body yielded to every ripple. Part was submerged, but the upper portion of the head floated just above the water. That part which was visible was covered with short, stiff bristles in front which increased in length toward the sides. and extended for 8 distance Of about ten feet on each side. The back, or at least that portion of it which appeared above the water, was lighter colored than the head. \ good view was had LII lh6 IIOHSleI AOI II pNftLu pI lHiSc minutes, when, suddenly raising it's head out of the water, it gave swish with its tail and started directly south. in the direction of one of the steamers. Its head. as it raised it above the water, was very much like that of an eel, with the exception of the long. trailing hair or whisllers. It's eyes were small. and as it dashed of one of the men said he thought he heard it give short, sharp bark. A line of foam marked its pro- gress cut into the lake for about half 8 mile, when, turning sharp around, il dashed toward the Exhibition wharf, and again out into the lake, where they soon lost sight of it. The men did not appear at all anxious to speak of the matter, as they feared their veracity would be questioned. AS it is, their story is given for what it is worth, but surely the word of three men who saw it is worth that of thirty who did moi see it.-Ioronto Mdil

 Cookery is an art for which peculiar talent is necessary to bring forth good results. A serious error is to suppose that the subject of what one eats and drinks is unimportant, for the fact re- mains that scarcely one material con- sideration is of so far reaching effect as that of the kitchen. When one reflects upon the dependence of the mind and character upon the bodily condition. and how closely the latter is involved in the material that supplies it, one can not escape the, conviction that good cook is public benefactor. and the ca- terer who feeds bis fellow-creatures wisely and well is greater than he who takes citv,- Hoiel lf1it

 Some time ago, Nathan Jones. & col- ored man in whose general character there was lack of laudable ambition, was arraigned before Little Rock jus tice and fined. Jones went down i'll the country, became leader among tine ne- groes and YVES elected justice of the peace. The other day, Squire Gilwig, before whom Jones had been arraigned, and whom the waves of politics had sub merged, went down into Jones' neigh borhood, drank bad whisky and killed a man. He was arrested and taken be- fore Judge Jones for examination.

In conformity with custom, the annua
observance of which is justly held in honor
bv this people, l, Chester a. Arthur, presi
dent of the United States, do hereby SCI
apart Thursday, the goth day of November
next, as day of public thanksgiving.
The blessings demanding our gratitude are
numerous and varied. For the peace and
amty which snbsist between this Republic
and all the nations of the world for freedom
from internal dscord and violence for the
increasing friendship between the different
sections of the land of liberty, justice, and
constitutional government; for the devotion
!. of the people to our free institutions and
their cheerful obedience to mild laws: for
the constantly increasing strength of the Re-
public while extending its privileges to fell
lowmen who come to us for the improved
means of internal communication and the in
creased facilities of intercourse with other
nations; for the general prevailing health Of
the year for the prosperity of all industries.
liberal return for mechanics toll, affording a
market for the abundant harvests of the hus-
bandman for the preservation of the nation
al filth and credit; for wise and generous
provision to effect the intellectual and moral
education of our youth for the influence up
on the conscience of restraining and trans
forming religion, and for the joys Of home !;
for these, and for many other blessings, we
should give thanks.
Wherefore, l do recommend that the day
above designated be observed throughout
the country as day of national thanksgiving
and prayer, and that the people, ceasing from
their daily labors, and meeting in accordance
with their several forms of worship, draw
near to Almighty God, offering to Him
praise and gratitude for the manifold good

ing that His blessings and His mercies may

And do farther recommend that the day

In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.

THE DETROIT LEyER of Oct. 81

The DETROIT LEVER of Oct. 81
said - personal friends who were in
the Yorktown excursion have assured
us that Jerome was much the worse
for liquor while on that trip" The
Republican denounced this statement
as wilful lie, and called upon
Brother Vanfeet to give the names of
those personal friends" or else rest
under the caiumny of being himself a
liar. This he does not dc, but his
columns TEEN with additional misrep-
reservations of Governor Jerome
The names ofthose personal friends"
are what we want, and again we say,
"don't forget it," In this same arti-
Gle in which he alluded to his "per-
sonal friends" he also says he has
been informed that Governor Jerome
keeps wines and liquors in his cellar.
That is another lie, Mr.. Lever, made
out of whole cloth, and the Republi-
can challenges you to show a spark of
truth in the assertion. The Lever of
Oct. 28 contains an article under the
heading of "rhat reception at tenn
perance headquarters" and signed by
zone of the conn.," which also grossly
misrepresents Governor Jerome's po-
sition on the temperance question:
This article reviews the receptions
given by the w. c. T. U. during the
session of the Legislature Of 1881, and
viciously attacks him for not attend
ing those receptions or sending Gre
grets.' Whatever may have been
Governor Jerome's personal view of
the case the Republican does not
know, but this it does know: That
these receptions were given by persons
who had been openly and secretly
knitting him, and who are doing the
same thing to-day. In spite of all
the lies spawned and misrepresenta-
tons sent broadcast throughout the
state, the fact still remains that Gov
ernor Jerome has been a true and
consistent friend Of the temperance
cause, and we challenge the editor of
the Lever or any person in Michigan
to show that he has not. Again we
repeat that the man does not live who
ever saw Governor Jerome under the
influence of intoxicants. Brother
Vanheet, please give us the names of
those personal friends" or else &C.

your readers pure, unadulterated lie.

Greenhackers. Attention.

The Democratic organ of this
county in its last issue enthusiast
cally mentions the Democratic half
of the county ticket-in fact, praises
them to the sky; bat it ENTIRELY
neglects to even notice the Greenback
half. 1t mentions Mr.. Kelso in an
exceedingly complimentary manner
but Mr.. Hart is passed over in silent
contempt. Kelso is Democrat and
Hart Greenbacker. ]. f. Turner
is given two notices and Wixon gets
none. Democrat VapDusen gets a
good notice and Greenbacker Potter
is given a cold shoulder. The candi-
date for Clerk is Democrat and for
Treasurer a Greenbacker. Baldwin
gets puff and Mr.. Bailey is not
thought Of
This seems to be in accordance with
the policy of "electing part Of the
ticket" as put forth by this same or
gan in its first issue after the conven-
ton. The Democrats called the first
convention and adjourned to meet
the Greenbackers. They took the
initiatory steps, they were the woers;
but it is plain now that it was
only for the purpose of "electing
part of the ticket that the Democrats
so enthusiastically advocated fusion.
You, Greenbackers, have kept your
part of the sale. Mr.. Pulver, your
leader, has stumped the county for
fusion. The Democrats care nothing
for you or your principles; they only
want your votes. Will you consent to
be sold out in this manner, to be
traded off by those who have nothing
in common with you, and who will
dropyou like hot cakes after You have
voted for Kelso, Baldwin and the rest
Of the Democratic candidates.
